ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0099; FRL-8094-3]

 
Notice of Receipt of Requests for Amendments to Delete Uses in 
Certain Pesticide Registrations; Technical Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 1, 2006, EPA issued a Notice of Receipt of 
Requests for Amendments by Registrants to Delete Uses in Certain 
Pesticide Registrations. 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 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. The 
September 1 Notice inadvertently included a request to delete both 
cotton and pome fruit from EPA Registration 264-805, Thiacloprid 
Technical, and EPA Registration 264-806, Calypso 4 Flowable 
Insecticide. The Notice should have listed a request to delete only 
cotton from these registrations.

DATES: Because this technical correction removes one use deletion 
request, the effective date for the remaining use deletions remains 
unchanged from the September 1 Notice. The remaining deletions are 
effective February 28, 2007, unless the Agency receives a written 
withdrawal request on or before February 28, 2007. The Agency will 
consider a withdrawal request postmarked no later than February 28, 
2007.
    Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites 
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant on or before 
February 28, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Submit your withdrawal request, identified by docket 
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0099, by one of the 
following methods:

Notice inadvertently included a request to delete both cotton and pome 
fruit from EPA Registration 264-805, Thiacloprid Technical, and EPA

any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the Administrator

postmarked no later than February 28, 2007.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
