Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 90 days of
publication of this notice, orders will be issued cancelling all of
these registrations. Users of these pesticides or anyone else desiring
the retention of a registration should contact the applicable
registrant directly during this 90-day period. Two of the registrations
for which voluntary
[[Page 46594]]
cancellation has been requested 000876-0280, Technical Chlordane;
000876-00288, Technical Heptachlor are registrations granted by EPA to
Velsicol Chemical Corporation in 1978 for ``export-only''; these
particular registrations have never authorized sale or use in the
United States. EPA does not believe that ``export-only'' registrations
are appropriate under FIFRA, and intends to grant Velsicol's request
for voluntary cancellation of these registrations thirty (30) days
after publication of this notice. After the registrations are
cancelled, EPA will permit continued exports of chlordane and
heptachlor only if such exports are consistent with all the
requirements of section 17 of FIFRA, including the labeling and
purchaser-acknowledgement provisions of section 17(a). The following
Table 2 includes the names and addresses of record for all registrants
of the products in Table 1, in sequence by EPA Company Number.

III. Loss of Active Ingredients
Unless the requests for cancellation are withdrawn, one pesticide
active ingredient will no 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.

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 December 6, 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 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 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
[[Page 46595]]
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.
