III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a 
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of 
its pesticide registrations be amended to delete one or more uses. 
FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must 
publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal 
Register.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that 
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide 
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary 
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) 
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment 
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any 
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the 
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II have requested that 
EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 
30-day comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for use deletion must 
submit the withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT using the methods in ADDRESSES. If the products 
have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the effective date 
of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation 
action are controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation action.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation 
of product registrations EPA proposes to include the following 
provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the products 
listed in Table 1 of Unit II.
    For all voluntary product cancellations, listed in Table 1 of Unit 
II, the registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute existing 
stocks of voluntarily canceled products for 1 year after the effective 
date of the cancellation, which will be the date of publication of the 
cancellation order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants 
will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products identified 
in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use 
existing stocks of the canceled products until supplies are exhausted, 
provided that such sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the 
terms of the previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the 
canceled products.
