    III. Loss of Active Ingredients
    
        Unless the requests for cancellation are withdrawn, one pesticide 
    active ingredients will not longer appear in any registered products. 
    Those who are concerned about the potential loss of this active 
    ingredient for pesticidal use are encouraged to work directly with the 
    registrant to explore the possibility of their withdrawing the request 
    for cancellation. The active ingredient is listed in the following 
    Table 3, with the EPA Company and CAS Number.
    
      Table  3. -- Active Ingredients Which Would Disappear as A Result of  
                         Registrants' Requests to Cancel

    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 October 31, 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 Federal Register No. 123, Vol. 56, dated June 
    26, 1991. 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.
