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 November 2, 1998.

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.

Carbofuran; Receipt of Application for

Emergency Exemption, Solicitation of

Public Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has received a specific

exemption request from the Arkansas

State Plant Board hereafter referred to as

the ‘‘Applicant’’ to use the pesticide

flowable Carbofuran (Furadan 4F

Insecticide/Nematicide) (EPA Reg. No.

279–2876) to treat up to 1 million acres

of cotton, to control cotton aphids. The

Applicant proposes the use of a

chemical which has been the subject of

a Special Review within EPA’s Office of

Pesticide Programs. The granular

formulation of carbofuran was the

subject of a Special Review between the

years of 1986–1991, which resulted in a

negotiated settlement whereby most of

the registered uses of granular

carbofuran were phased out. While the

flowable formulation of carbofuran is

not the subject of a Special Review, EPA

believes that the proposed use of

flowable carbofuran on cotton could

pose a risk similar to the risk assessed

by EPA under the Special Review of

granular carbofuran. Additionally, in

1997 EPA denied requests made under

provisions of section 18 for this use of

flowable carbofuran. Therefore, in

accordance with 40 CFR 166.24, EPA is

soliciting public comment before

making the decision whether or not to

grant the exemption.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 21, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Three copies of written

comments, bearing the identification

notation ‘‘OPP–181061,’’ should be

submitted by mail to: Public

Information and Records Integrity

Branch, Information Resources and

Services Division (7502C), Office of

Pesticide Programs, Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW.,

Washington, DC 20460. In person, bring

comments to: Rm. 119, Crystal Mall #2,

1921 Jefferson Davis Highway,

Arlington, VA.

Comments and data may also be

submitted electronically by sending

electronic mail (e-mail) to: oppdocket@epamail.epa.gov. Follow the

instruction under ‘‘SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.’’ No Confidential

Business Information (CBI) should be

submitted through e-mail.

Information submitted in any

comment concerning this notice may be

claimed confidential by marking any

part or all of that information as CBI.

Information so marked will not be

disclosed except in accordance with

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

A copy of the comment that does not

contain CBI must be submitted for

inclusion in the public record.

Information not marked confidential

may be included in the public record by

EPA without prior notice.

The public docket is available for

public inspection in Rm. 119, Crystal

Mall #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Highway,

Arlington, VA, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, excluding legal

holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to section 18 of the Federal Insecticide,

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

(7 U.S.C. 136p), the Administrator may,

at her discretion, exempt a state agency

from any registration provision of

FIFRA if she determines that emergency

conditions exist which require such

exemption. The Applicant has requested

the Administrator to issue a specific

exemption for the use of carbofuran on

cotton to control aphids. Information in

accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was

submitted as part of this request.

As part of this request, the Applicant

asserts that the state of Arkansas is

likely to experience non-routine

infestations of aphids during the 1998

cotton growing season. The applicant

further claims that, without a specific

exemption of FIFRA for the use of

flowable carbofuran on cotton to control

cotton aphids, cotton growers in the

state will suffer significant economic

losses. The applicant also details a use

program designed to minimize risks to

pesticide handlers and applicators, nontarget organisms (both Federally-listed

endangered species, and non-listed

species), and to reduce the possibility of

drift and runoff.
