IV. Scope of this Notice

This notice pertains to all Amvac enduse registrations and technical

registrations. On the effective date of

this document, Amvac must delete the

appropriate uses from its labels. Since

Amvac is the sole registrant of the

technical-grade dichlorvos, there will no

longer be a manufacturing use product

available from which to formulate any

dichlorvos-registered products for the

uses Amvac is requesting to delete,

unless Amvac withdraws its request.

End-use registrants are being notified by

certified mail of Amvac’s decision to

delete these uses. End-use registrants

who purchase technical dichlorvos with

a revised label may only formulate their

products for the uses allowed on the

technical label. For purposes of public

information, Amvac will allow

dichlorvos to be formulated for those

uses listed in Section III of this notice.

Any registrant that does not change its

label to conform to the new technical

label will be in violation of FIFRA. If

any of the end-use registrants (or any

other persons) desire to retain any of the

uses for which deletion is requested,

they are encouraged to contact Amvac to

seek retention of that use. EPA intends

to approve the proposed amendments at

the close of the comment period unless

Amvac withdraws or amends its

request. The following list specifies the

registrations affected by this notice:

5481–9, 5481–13, 5481–41, 5481–73,

5481–96, 5481–200, 5481–201, 5481–

202, 5481–203, 5481–204, 5481–205,

5481–206, 5481–207, 5481–208, 5481–

216, 5481–217, 5481–220, 5481–240,

5481–241, 5481–334, 5481–338, 5481–

340, 5481–341, 5481–342, 5481–343,

5481–344, 5481–345, 5481–346, 5481–

347, 5481–348.

V. Existing Stocks Provisions

Under the authority of FIFRA section

6(a)(1), EPA will establish certain

limitations on the distribution and use

of existing stocks of dichlorvos products

subject to any final cancellation notice.

EPA defines the term ‘‘existing stock’’ to

mean any quantity of dichlorvos

products in the United States on the

effective date an application for

amendment of registration is granted by

the Agency. Such existing stocks

include dichlorvos products that have

been formulated, packaged, and labeled

and are being held for shipment or

release or have been shipped or released

into commerce.

The Agency will permit Amvac to sell

and distribute existing stocks of

products with current labels for up to 1

year after the effective date of an

amendment. Any sale or distribution of

such products by Amvac after that 1-

year period which do not bear labeling

consistent with any amendment granted

pursuant to this notice will be a

violation of federal law. Any existing

stocks remaining in the possession of all

other persons after 1 year may continue

to be sold, distributed, and used until

such existing stocks are exhausted.

EPA reserves the right to amend this

existing stocks provision should

conditions warrant such amendment.

Users need to be aware that it is their

responsibility to determine whether

residues of dichlorvos-treated food will

result in illegal residues under FFDCA.

VI. Comments

Persons interested in commenting on

the proposed use deletions are invited

to submit their written comments on or

before May 19, 1995 to the address

given above. Registrants should be

aware that EPA will consider these

comments in the context of other

ongoing Agency activities relating to

dichlorvos.
