AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of request 
for amendments by registrants to delete uses in certain pesticide 
registrations. 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 in Table 1 of Unit II, are effective July 18, 
2014, because the registrants requested a waiver of the 180-day comment

request postmarked no later than July 18, 2014. The deletions in Table 
2 of Unit II, are effective December 15, 2014, unless the Agency 
receives a written withdrawal request on or before December 15, 2014.

being deleted should contact the applicable registrant in Table 1 of
