Pursuant to section 6(f) of FIFRA, EPA hereby approves the
requested cancellations of diazinon product registrations identified in
Table 1 in Unit II. Accordingly, the Agency orders that the diazinon

IV. 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.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
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. The cancellation order issued in this Notice
includes the following existing stocks provisions:
1. Sale and distribution of these outdoor non-agricultural end-use
products containing diazinon will not be permitted after December 31,
2004, except for purposes of product recovery pursuant to the December
