IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must
submit such withdrawal in writing to James A. Hollins, at the address
given above, postmarked before May 16, 1995. This written withdrawal of
the request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable 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.
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 one year after the date the cancellation request was
received. 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). 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.
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged,
labeled, and [[Page 8655]] 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(s). Exceptions 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 Special Review actions, or
where the Agency has identified significant potential risk concerns
associated with a particular chemical.
