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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 
notice of receipt of request 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.

DATES: The deletions are effective by April 27, 2009 or November 28, 
2008 for registrations for which the registrant requested a waiver of 
the 180-day comment period. The Agency will consider withdrawal 
requests postmarked no later than April 27, 2009 or November 28, 2008, 
whichever is applicable. Comments must be received on or before April 
27, 2009 or November 28, 2008, for those registrations where the 180-
day comment period has been waived.
    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.

III. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    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 FIFRA 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.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for use deletion must 
submit the withdrawal in writing to John Jamula using the methods in 
ADDRESSES. Requests for withdrawal must be received on or before April 
27, 2009 or November 28, 2008, for those registrations where the 180-
day comment period has been waived.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    The Agency has authorized the registrants to sell or distribute 
product under the previously approved labeling for a period of 18 
months after approval of the revision, unless other restrictions have 
been imposed, as in special review actions.
