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 May 16, 1995. 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 one year after the date the

cancellation request was received. This

policy is in accordance with the

Agency’s statement of policy as

prescribed in the Federal Register of

June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362). 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 callin. In all cases, product-specific

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:

I. Introduction

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA, provides that

a registrant of a pesticide product may

at any time request that any of its

pesticide registrations be amended to

delete one or more uses. The Act further

provides that, before acting on the

request, EPA must publish a notice of

receipt of any such request in the

Federal Register. Thereafter, the

Administrator may approve such a

request.

II. Intent to Delete Uses

This notice announces receipt by the

Agency of applications from registrants

to delete uses in the six pesticide

registrations listed in the following

Table 1. These registrations are listed by

registration number, product names/

active ingredients and the specific uses

deleted. Users of these products who

desire continued use on crops or sites

being deleted should contact the

applicable registrant before May 15,

1995 to discuss withdrawal of the

applications for amendment. This 90-

day period will also permit interested

members of the public to intercede with

registrants prior to the Agency approval

of the deletion.

Notice of Limited Plant Propagation

Registration for a Plant-Pesticide

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to issue a

limited plant propagation registration

under section 3(c)(5) of the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act (FIFRA) to Monsanto Company for

the Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki

(B.t.k.) delta endotoxin produced in

cotton for the purpose of increasing

reproductive plant materials (plant

propagation/seed production). This

limited plant propagation registration

will be restricted as to the duration of

the registration, time and acreage of

cotton planted, containment of field

plots, and the subsequent harvesting

and processing of the resulting crop.

DATES: Comments identified by the

docket control number [OPP–30108]

must be received on or before March 17,

1995.

number: (703) 308–8260.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has

received several requests for

experimental use permits for plantpesticides which include acreage

dedicated solely to seed increase.

Because plant-pesticides are produced

in living plants, their commercial

development involves the propagation

and breeding of new varieties of the

crops producing the plant-pesticides.

This plant breeding process also

involves increases of plant reproductive

materials prior to commercialization.

The production of propagative plant

products (such as seeds, tubers, corms,

cuttings, etc.) is an integral step in the

development of new commercial plant

varieties. Because of the biology of

plants and general planting and

harvesting restrictions associated with

plant propagation, this step usually

takes an entire year in the product

development cycle. In the case of tree

crops, it may take much longer.
