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 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 May 2, 2014, 
because the registrants requested a waiver of the 180-day comment 
period, unless the Agency receives a written withdrawal request on or 
before May 2, 2014. The Agency will consider a withdrawal request 
postmarked no later than May 2, 2014. The deletions in Table 2 of Unit 
II, are effective September 29, 2014, unless the Agency receives a 
written withdrawal request on or before September 29, 2014. The Agency 
will consider a withdrawal request postmarked no later than September 
29, 2014.
    Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites 
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant in Table 1 of 
Unit II, before May 2, 2014, for the registrants that 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 in Table 2 of Unit II, before September 29, 2014.
