requesting
a
voluntary

Under
section
6(
f)(
1)(
A)
of
FIFRA,
registrants
may
request,
at
any
time,
that
their
pesticide
registrations
be
canceled
or
amended
to
terminate
one
or
more
pesticide
uses.
Section
6(
f)(
1)(
B)
of
FIFRA
requires
that
before
acting
on
a
request
for
voluntary
cancellation,
EPA
must
provide
a
30
 
day
public
comment
period
on
the
request
for
voluntary
cancellation.
In
addition,
section

requires
that
EPA
provide
a
180
 
day
comment

request
a
waiver
of
the
comment
period,
or
(
2)
the
Administrator
determines
that
continued
use
of
the
pesticide
would
pose
an
unreasonable
adverse
effect
on
the
environment.
The
registrant
has
requested
that
EPA
waive
the
180
 
day
comment
period.
EPA
is
granting
the
registrants'
request
to

request
listed

this
notice.
If
the
product(
s)
have
been
subject
to
a
previous

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.
V.
Provisions
for
Disposition
of
Existing
Stocks
The
effective
date
of
cancellation
will
be
the
date
of
the
cancellation
order.
The
order
effecting
this
requested
cancellation
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
the
Federal
Register
of
June
26,
1991
(
56
FR
29362)
(
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.
Exception
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
a
Special
Review
action,
or
where
the
Agency
has
identified
significant
potential
risk
concerns
associated
with
a
particular
chemical.
In
the
letter
the
Agency
received
from
the
registrant
on
May
20,
2003,
the
registrant
stated
that
the
Hybrex
2LC
Chemical
Hybridizing
product
has
not
been
sold
since
1989
nor
has
the
chemical
ever
been
distributed.
Therefore,
no
products
should
be
in
the
channels
of
trade.
