Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant within 180 days of
publication of this notice, or 30 days where indicated, orders will be
issued canceling all of these registrations. Users of these pesticides
or anyone else desiring the retention of a registration should contact
the applicable registrant directly during the indicated comment period.
In accordance with the December 2000, Diazinon Memorandum of
Agreement, the cancellation order shall become effective 30 days after
the date of this Federal Register and the distribution or sale of
existing stocks by the registrant of EPA registration number 006218-
0069, which bears instructions for indoor use, shall not be lawful
under FIFRA as of the effective date of the cancellation order, except
for the purposes of shipping such stocks for export consistent with
Section 17 of FIFRA or for proper disposal. The distribution or sale of
existing stocks of EPA registration number 006218-0069 by any person
other than the registrant will not be lawful under FIFRA after December
31, 2002, except for the purpose of shipping such stocks for export

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 canceled. FIFRA 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 the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before August 4, 2003, or March
7, 2003 for EPA Registration Numbers: 001812-00420; 001812-00424;
006218-00069.
This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply
only to the applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request listed in this
notice. If the product(s) have been subject of 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 the 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. 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 a Special Review action, or where the Agency has
identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a
particular chemical.
