III. Procedures for Withdrawal of

Request

Registrants who choose to withdraw a

request for cancellation must submit

such withdrawal in writing to James A.

Hollins, at the address given above,

postmarked before August 25, 1997.

This written withdrawal of the request

for cancellation will apply only to the

applicable 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.

IV. 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 Federal Register (56 FR

29362) June 26, 1991; [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(s). Exceptions 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 Special

Review actions, or where the Agency

has identified significant potential risk

concerns associated with a particular

chemical.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has

received a pesticide petition (PP)

6F4765 pursuant to section 408(d) of the

Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act,

as amended, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), by the

Food Quality Protection Act of 1996

(FQPA) (Pub. L. 104–170, 110 Stat.

1489) from Bayer Corporation (‘‘Bayer’’),

8400 Hawthorn Rd., P.O. Box 4913,

Kansas City, MO 64120–0013 proposing

to amend 40 CFR 180.472 by

establishing tolerances for inadvertent

or indirect residues of the insecticide,

imidacloprid: 1-[(6-chloro-3-

pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-

imidazolidinimine and its metabolites

containing the 6-chloro-pyridinyl

moiety in or on cereal grain [grain 0.05

parts per million (ppm), forage (2.0

ppm), stover (0.3 ppm), hay (6.0 ppm),

and straw (3.0 ppm)], sweet corn (0.05

ppm), legume vegetables (0.3 ppm) [and

foliage thereof (2.5 ppm)], and safflower

seed (0.05 ppm). The nature of the

imidacloprid residue in plants and

livestock is adequately understood. The

analytical method for determining

residues is a common moiety method

for imidacloprid and its metabolites

containing the 6-chloro-pyridinyl

moiety using oxidation, derivatization,

and analysis by capillary gas

chromatography with a mass-selective

detector. These tolerances would allow

for a 1–month plant back interval for

these crops following normal

application of imidacloprid-containing

products.

EPA has determined that the petition

contains data or information regarding

the elements set forth in section

408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully

evaluated the sufficiency of the

submitted data at this time or whether

the data supports granting of the

petition. Additional data may be needed

before EPA rules on the petition.

As required by section 408(d) of the

FFDCA, as recently amended by the

FQPA, Bayer Corporation included in
