notice of receipt of request for amendments by registrants to delete 
uses in certain pesticide registrations. Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA

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.

of the 180-day comment period. The Agency will consider withdrawal 
requests postmarked no later than February 23, 2010 or September 28, 
2009, whichever is applicable. Comments must be received on or before 
February 23, 2010 or September 28, 2009, 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
