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 section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 
notice of receipt of request 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.

DATES: The deletions are effective by June 25, 2008 or January 28, 2008 
for registrations for which the registrant requested a waiver of the 
180-day comment period. The Agency will consider withdrawal requests 
postmarked no later than June 25, 2008 or January 28, 2008, whichever 
is applicable. Comments must be received on or before June 25, 2008 or 
January 28, 2008, for those registrations where the 180-day comment 
period has been waived.
    Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites 
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant on or before 
June 25, 2008 or January 28, 2008 for registrations for which the 
registrant requested a waiver of the 180-day comment period.

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 amended to delete one or more uses. The Act 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 use deletion must 
submit the withdrawal in writing to John Jamula at the address listed 
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The Agency will consider written 
withdrawal requests postmarked no later than June 25, 2008.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    The Agency has authorized the registrants to sell or distribute 
product under the previously approved labeling for a period of 18 
months after approval of the revision, unless other restrictions have 
been imposed, as in special review actions.

List of Subjects
