III. Loss of Active Ingredients

Unless the requests for cancellation

are withdrawn, one pesticide active

ingredient will no longer appear in any

registered products. Those who are

concerned about the potential loss of

this active ingredient for pesticidal use

are encouraged to work directly with the

registrant(s) to explore the possibility of

withdrawing their request for

cancellation. The active ingredient is

listed in the following Table 3, with the

EPA Company and CAS Number.

IV. 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 September 22, 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.

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 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

7F4816) from American Cyanamid

Company, Agricultural Products

Research Division, P.O. Box 400

Princeton, NJ 08543-0400 proposing

pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C.

section 346a, to amend 40 CFR part 180

by establishing tolerances for residues of

the fungicide, dimethomorph [(E,Z)4-[3-

(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(3,4-

dimethoxyphenyl)-1-oxo-2-propenyl]-

morpholine] in or on the raw

agricultural commodity potato at 0.05

parts per million (ppm) and a timelimited tolerance for residues of

dimethomorph in or on the raw

agricultural commodity grape at 2.0

ppm. The proposed analytical method

for determining residues is a High

Performance Liquid Chromatography

(HPLC) method (FAMS 002-04). A

confirmatory method (FAMS 022-03)

also is available which provides for

analysis by either Gas Chromatography/

Nitrogen-Phosphorus Detection or by

HPLC/UV Detection. 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

Food Quality Protection Act, (Pub. L.

104-170), American Cyanamid included

in the petition a summary of the petition

and authorization for the summary to be

published in the Federal Register in a

notice of receipt of the petition. The

summary represents the views of

American Cyanamid; EPA is in the

process of evaluating the petition. As

required by section 408(d)(3), EPA is

including the summary as a part of this

notice of filing. EPA has made minor

edits to the summary for the purpose of

clarity.
