The Agency will consider withdrawal requests postmarked no later than 
November 6, 2015. Comments must be received on or before November 6, 
2015, for those registrations where the 180-day comment period has been 
waived.

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 terminate 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. Thereafter, the EPA Administrator may approve such a request.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for use termination 
must submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before November 6, 2015, for 
the requests that the registrants requested to waive the 180-day 
comment period. This written withdrawal of the request for use 
termination will apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) 
request listed in this notice. If the products have been subject to a 
previous

[[Page 60676]]

use termination action, the effective date of termination and all other 
provisions of any earlier termination action are controlling.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.

    Dated: September 17, 2015.
