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
and
provide
a
30
 
day
period
in
which
the
public
may
comment
before
the
Agency
may
act
on
the
request
for
voluntary
cancellation.
In
the
case
of
minor
agricultural
uses,
section
6(
f)(
1)(
c)
of
FIFRA
provides
for
a
180
 
day
comment
period
under
certain
circumstances.
In
this
case,
Bayer
Environmental
Science,
and
Sumitomo
Chemical
Company,
Limited
have
requested
that
EPA
waive
the
180
 
day
comment
period.
Accordingly,
pursuant
to
section
6(
f)(
1)(
c)(
ii)
of
FIFRA.
EPA
is
waiving
the
180
 
day
comment
period
and
will
provide
interested
parties
30
days
to
comment
on
the
action.

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
August
11,
2003.
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.
Any
person,
including
the
registrant,
who
wishes
to
support
the
continued
registration
of
fenvalerate,
must
fulfil
all
outstanding
data
gaps.
In
addition,
EPA
must
find
that
fenvalerate
is
eligible
for
reregistration.

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
1
year
after
the
date
the
cancellation
is
requested.
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.
In
this
case,
the
Agency
does
not
see
a
need
to
deviate
from
the
Existing
Stocks
Policy.
Unless
the
Agency
receives
substantive
comments
during
the
comment
period
that
would
merit
its
further
review
of
this
matter,
the
Agency
intends
to
permit
the
registrants
to
sell
and
distribute
the
existing
stocks
for
1
year

Notices
after
the
effective
date
of
the
cancellation.
Although
in
its
original
voluntary
cancellation
letter,
Bayer
requested
18
months
to
address
any
remaining
stocks,
in
subsequent
communication
with
the
Agency,
Bayer
accepted
a
12
 
month
period
for
sale
and
distribution
of
the
existing
stocks.
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.
In
this
case,
the
Agency
does
not
see
a
need
to
deviate
from
these
general
rules.
Unless
the
Agency
receives
substantive
comments
during
the
comment
period
that
would
merit
further
review
of
this
matter,
the
Agency
intends
to
permit
existing
stocks
already
in
the
hands
of
dealers
or
users
to
be
distributed,
sold,
or
used
until
they
are
exhausted,
provided
that
such
further
sale
and
use
comply
with
