SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. Although this 
action may be of particular interest to persons who produce or use 
pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific 
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions 
regarding the information in this notice, consult the person listed 
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1.  Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as 
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2.  Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments, 
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying 
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
     ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to 
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and 
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information 
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you 
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be 
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and 
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of 
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period 
deadline identified.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of an application from 
a registrant to cancel one pesticide product registered under section 3 
or 24(c) of FIFRA. This registration is listed in Table 1 of this unit:

     Table 1.--Registrations with Pending Requests for Cancellation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Registration No.             Product name        Chemical name
------------------------------------------------------------------------
69061-4                           Davis Triple        Pyrethrins,
                                   Pyrethrins Flea     piperonyl
                                   and Tick Shampoo    butoxide, n-octyl
                                                       bicycloheptene
                                                       dicarboxamide and
                                                       di-n-propyl
                                                       isocinchomeronate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------

     A request to waive the 180-day comment period has been received 
for the following registration: 69061-4. Therefore, the 30-day comment 
period will apply for this registration.
     Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant by January 19, 
2007, an order will be issued canceling this registration. A person may 
submit comments to EPA as provided in ADDRESSES and Unit I.B. of the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION above. However, because FIFRA section

[[Page 76321]]

6(f)(1)(A) allows a registrant to request cancellation of its pesticide 
registrations at any time, users or anyone else desiring retention of 
those pesticides listed in Table 1 may want to contact the applicable 
registrant in Table 2 directly during this period to request that the 
registrant retain the pesticide registration or to discuss the 
possibility of transferring the registration. A user seeking to apply 
for its own registration of that pesticide may submit comments 
requesting EPA not to cancel a registration until its ``me-too'' 
registration is granted.
    Table 2 of this unit includes the names and addresses of record for 
all registrants of the products in Table 1 of this unit, in sequence by 
EPA company number:

                                          Avenue, Scottsdale, GA 30079
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 canceled. 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 cancellation must 
submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before January 19, 2007. This 
written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to 
the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this notice. If 
the product(s) have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the 
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier 
cancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also 
include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill 
any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the 
cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations 
will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing 
stocks for one year after the date the cancellation request was 
received. This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of 
policy as prescribed in the Federal Register of June 26, 1991 (56 FR 
29362) (FRL-3846-4). Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a 
product poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with 
reregistration requirements, or is subject to a data call-in. In all 
cases, product-specific disposition dates will be given in the 
cancellation orders.
    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products 
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, 
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the 
cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, 
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be 
distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided 
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and 
labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will 
be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, 
distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already 
been imposed, as in a Special Review action, or where the Agency has 
identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a 
particular chemical.
