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

Under
section
6(
f)(
1)(
A)
of
FIFRA,
registrants
may
request,
at
any
time,
that
EPA
cancel
any
of
their
pesticide
registrations.
Section
6(
f)(
1)(
B)
of
FIFRA
requires
that
the
Agency
provide
a
30
 
day
period
in
which
the
public
may
comment
before
EPA
may
act
on
the
request
for
voluntary
cancellation.
In
addition,
section
6(
f)(
1)(
C)
of
FIFRA
requires
that
EPA
provide
a
180
 
day
comment
period
on
a
request
for
voluntary
termination
of
any
minor

use(
s)
before
granting
the
request,
unless:
(
1)
The
registrants
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
registrants
have
requested
that
EPA
waive
the
180
 
day
comment
period.
In
light
of
this
request,
the
Agency
is
granting
the
request
to
waive
the
180
 
day
comment
period
and
is
providing
a
30
 
day
public
comment
period
before
taking
action
on
the
requested
cancellations.
If
the
Agency
does
not
receive
any
comments
specific
to
these
cancellations,
EPA
intends
to
grant
the
requested
cancellations
at
the
close
of
the
30
 
day
public
comment
period
for
this
Notice
on
July
28,
2003.
