    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 cancelled. 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.
    
    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 March 9, 2000. 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 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 of June 26, 1991; (56 FR 29362) [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). Exception 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 action, or where the Agency 
    has identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a 
    particular chemical.
