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 the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is issuing a notice of receipt of request 
for amendments by registrants to delete uses in certain pesticide 
registrations. 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 in Table 1 are effective November 17, 2014, 
because the registrants requested a waiver of the 180-day comment 
period, unless the Agency receives a written withdrawal request on or 
before November 17, 2014. The Agency will consider a withdrawal request 
postmarked no later than November 17, 2014. The deletions in Table 2 
are effective April 15, 2015, unless the Agency receives a written 
withdrawal request on or before April 15, 2015. The Agency will 
consider a withdrawal request postmarked no later than April 15, 2015.
    Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites 
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant in Table 1 
before November 17, 2014, for the registrants that requested a waiver 
of the 180-day comment period. Users of these products who desire 
continued use on crops or sites being deleted should contact the 
applicable registrant in Table 2 before April 15, 2015.

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 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 EPA 
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 Christopher Green using the methods 
in ADDRESSES. The Agency will consider written withdrawal requests 
postmarked no later than November 17, 2014, for the requests that the 
registrants requested to waive the 180-day comment period and no later 
than April 15, 2015, for the requests with a 180-day comment period.

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.

    Authority:  7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
