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 February 1, 1999.

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
41828 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 150 /Wednesday, August 5, 1998 / Notices

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.
