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 call-in. 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.
