III. 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 November 2, 1998. 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.
IV. 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 1 year after the date the cancellation request was received.
This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as
prescribed in Federal Register (56 FR 29362) June 26, 1991; [FRL 3846-
4]. 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 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.
