SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The trend 

in recent years has shown a shift in the 

ways that people request and receive 

library services from EPA. With more 

material available online and 

electronically, EPA has found that its 

employees and the public are finding 

the materials they need from EPA’s web 

site and they are requesting more 

information electronically. In addition, 

with tighter security at Federal facilities, 

the public’s physical visits to the EPA 

Headquarters Library have been 

declining. These trends, in addition to 

reductions in the library’s FY07 budget, 

suggested to EPA that it needed to use 

information technology to improve its 

delivery of library services to EPA and 

public patrons. Library services for EPA 

staff and the public will be maintained 

as detailed in the new EPA Library 

Network National Framework which is 

available online at http://www.epa.gov/ 

natlibra/. 

Beginning October 1, 2006, the EPA 

Headquarters Library, located in Room 

3340 in the EPA West Building, located 

at 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC, will become one of 

three EPA repositories for paper copies 

of EPA documents, reports and 

publications. The other two repositories 

will be located at the EPA–RTP Library, 

109 T.W. Alexander Drive, Durham, NC 

27711, and at the Andrew W. 

Breidenbach Environmental Research 

Center, 26 W. Martin Luther King Dr., 

Cincinnati, OH 45268. Public access to 

EPA’s valuable documents collections 

continues to be a critical mission of the 

EPA Libraries. Thousands of EPA 

documents and reports can be accessed 

in full-text electronic format through the 

National Environmental Publications 

Information System (NEPIS) at http:// 

nepis.epa.gov/. Members of the public 

can also search for EPA documents in 

the libraries’ catalog at http:// 

www.epa.gov/natlibra/ols.htm. Once 

items of interest are identified, they can 

be borrowed via interlibrary loan thru 

participating institutions. The public 

will continue to have access to 

environmental information thru the EPA 

Regional Libraries remaining open 

http://www.epa.gov/natlibra/ 

libraries.htm. 

The answers to many questions about 

EPA and its activities can be found in 

the Agency’s Frequently Asked 

Questions database which can searched 

online at http:// 

publicaccess.custhelp.com/. 

Additionally, the public will continue 

to have access to comprehensive 

environmental information via the EPA 

Web site at http://www.epa.gov.

Notice of Receipt of Requests for 

Amendments to Delete Uses in Certain 

Pesticide Registrations; Technical 

Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On September 1, 2006, EPA 

issued a Notice of Receipt of Requests 

for Amendments by Registrants to 

Delete Uses in Certain Pesticide 

Registrations. 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 

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 request in the 

Federal Register. The September 1 

Notice inadvertently included a request 

to delete both cotton and pome fruit 

from EPA Registration 264–805, 

Thiacloprid Technical, and EPA 

Registration 264–806, Calypso 4 

Flowable Insecticide. The Notice should 

have listed a request to delete only 

cotton from these registrations. 

DATES: Because this technical correction 

removes one use deletion request, the 

effective date for the remaining use 

deletions remains unchanged from the 

September 1 Notice. The remaining 

deletions are effective February 28, 

2007, unless the Agency receives a 

written withdrawal request on or before 

February 28, 2007. The Agency will 

consider a withdrawal request 

postmarked no later than February 28, 

2007. 

Users of these products who desire 

continued use on crops or sites being 

deleted should contact the applicable 

registrant on or before February 28, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your withdrawal 

request, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ–

OPP–2006–0099, by one of the 

following methods:
