Notice of Receipt of Requests for Amendments to Delete Uses in 
Certain Pesticide Registrations; Technical Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 29, 2008, EPA issued a Notice of Receipt of 
Requests for Amendments by Registrants to Delete Uses in Certain 
Pesticide Registrations. 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. 
FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must 
publish a notice of receipt of any request in the Federal Register. The 
October 29 Notice inadvertently included a request to delete various 
uses from EPA Registrations 000279-02712 (Furadan 10G Insecticide/
Nematicide), 000279-02876 (Furadan 4F Insecticide/Nematicide), 000279-
03023 (Furadan 15G Insecticide/Nematicide), and 000279-03310 (Furadan 
LFR Insecticide/Nematicide). All of these registrations contain the 
active ingredient Carbofuran. The Notice contained errors regarding the 
request to delete uses for these registrations. This correction removes 
all of these registrations from this notice.

DATES: Because this technical correction removes only these four use 
deletion requests, the effective date for the remaining use deletions 
remains unchanged from the October 29 Notice. The remaining deletions 
are effective April 27, 2009 or November 28, 2008 for registrations for 
which the registrant requested a waiver of the 180-day comment period.
    Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites 
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant on or before 
April 27, 2009 or November 28, 2008 for registrations for which the 
registrant requested a waiver of the 180-day comment period.

II. What Does this Correction Do?

    This Notice corrects an error that was contained in an October 29 
(73 FR 64327) notice of receipt of request for amendments by 
registrants to delete uses in certain pesticide registrations. The 
October 29 notice inadvertently included a request to delete certain 
uses from EPA Registrations 000279-02712

(Furadan 10G Insecticide/Nematicide), 000279-02876 (Furadan 4F 
Insecticide/Nematicide), 000279-03023 (Furadan 15G Insecticide/
Nematicide), and 000279-03310 (Furadan LFR Insecticide/Nematicide). 
Although EPA has received a request from the registrant to voluntarily 
cancel uses, the October 29 Federal Register notice omitted certain 
uses and provided an incorrect time frame for submitting comments. 
Therefore, EPA is correcting the notice of receipt as set forth below. 
EPA will subsequently publish a revised Federal Register notice 
announcing the requested carbofuran amendments with the correct uses 
and correct time frame for providing comments.
    FR Doc. E8-25517 published in the Federal Register of October 29, 
2008 (73 FR 64327)(FRL-8387-3) is corrected on page 64328, in the 
table, by removing the entries for EPA Registrations 000279-02712 
(Furadan 10G Insecticide/Nematicide), 000279-02876 (Furadan 4F 
Insecticide/Nematicide), 000279-03023 (Furadan 15G Insecticide/
Nematicide), and 000279-03310 (Furadan LFR Insecticide/Nematicide).
