III. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action?

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that 

a registrant of a pesticide product may 

at any time request that any of its 

pesticide registrations be canceled. 

FIFRA further provides that, before 

acting on the request, EPA must 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 for cancellation must submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked 

before April 25, 2005. This written 

withdrawal of the request for 

cancellation will apply only to the 

applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request 

listed in this notice. If the product(s) 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. The withdrawal request 

must also include a commitment to pay 

any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill 

any applicable unsatisfied data 

requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing 

Stocks 

The effective date of cancellation will 

be the date of the cancellation 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. This 

policy is in accordance with the 

Agency’s statement of policy as 

prescribed in the Federal Register of 

June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL–

3846–4). Exceptions 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, productspecific 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 legally until 

they are exhausted, provided that such 

further sale and use comply with the 

EPA-approved label and labeling of the 

affected product. Exception to these 

general rules will be made in specific 

cases when more stringent restrictions 

on sale, distribution, or use of the 

products or their ingredients have 

already been imposed, as in a Special 

Review action, or where the Agency has 

identified significant potential risk 

concerns associated with a particular 

chemical.
