that, based on existing data, such use presents a
risk of an unreasonable adverse effect on the envi-

additional 3 years if, after the date of en-
actment of this clause, the Administrator
approves at least 3 minor uses of the pes-
ticide before the expiration of the period of
exclusive use under this clause. Any addi-
tional exclusive use period under this
clause shall terminate if the original data
submitter voluntarily cancels all registra-
tions of the pesticide containing such
minor uses.’’.
