III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of apesticide product may at any time request that any of itspesticide registrations be amended to delete one or more uses.The Act further provides that, before acting on the request, EPAmust publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register . Thereafter, the Administrator may approve such a request.
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request forcancellation must submit such withdrawal in writing to James A.Hollins, at the address given above, postmarked before May 21, 2001, unless indicated otherwise. This written withdrawal of therequest for cancellation will apply only to the applicable6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If the product(s) havebeen subject to a previous cancellation action, the effectivedate of cancellation and all other provisions of any earliercancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request mustalso include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, andto fulfill any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
The effective date of cancellation will be the date of thecancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks for 1 year after the date the cancellation request was received by the Agency. This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as prescribedin Federal Register June 26, 1991; (56 FR 29362) (FRL 3846-4). Exception to this general rule will be made if a product poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration requirements, or is subject to a data call-in. In all cases, product-specific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders.
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be distributed, sold or used legallyuntil they are exhausted, provided that such further sale and usecomply with the EPA-approved label and labeling of the affectedproduct(s). Exceptions to these general rules will be made inspecific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale,distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients havealready been imposed, as in Special Review actions, or where theAgency has identified significant potential risk concernsassociated with a particular chemical.
