SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    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.

II. Intent to Delete Uses

    This notice announces receipt by the Agency of applications from 
registrants to delete uses in nine manufacturing-use bendiocarb 
pesticide registration listed in Table 1 below. This registration is 
listed by registration number, product names, active ingredients and 
the specific uses deleted.
    The use deletions (non-food sites) announced in this notice will 
retain a 90-day comment period. Users of these products who desire 
continued use on sites being deleted should contact the applicable 
registrant before May 26, 1999 to discuss withdrawal of the 
applications for amendment. This 90-day period will also permit 
interested members of the public to intercede with registrants prior to 
the Agency approval of the deletion.

III. Existing Stocks Provisions

    The Agency has authorized registrants to sell or distribute product 
under the previously approved labeling for a period of 90 days after 
the effective date of use deletions. This determination was based in 
part on the voluntary agreement of these registrants to cease selling 
product bearing previously approved labeling within that time period.

List of Subjects
