Product Cancellation Order for Certain Pesticide Registrations; Correction
EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register of November 20, 2013, and March 13, 2014, concerning receipt of requests to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide registrations and its follow-up cancellation order, respectively. In both notices, EPA inadvertently listed the pesticide product Treflan H.F.P. (EPA Reg. No. MN-100004). The registrant had previously withdrawn the requested voluntary cancellation for this product. Therefore, EPA is not cancelling the pesticide product Treflan H.F.P. (EPA Reg. No. MN-100004). This document removes the cancellation order for Treflan H.F.P. (EPA Reg. No. MN-100004) listed in both the November 20, 2013, and March 13, 2014, Federal Register notices.
