This order follows up a December 10, 2003 Notice of Receipt of Requests from diazinon registrants for cancellations of all of their diazinon outdoor non-agricultural end-use product registrations. In the December 10, 2003 Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order granting the voluntary product registration cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments within [[Page 48865]] the 180 day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests. The Agency did not receive any comments on the Notice. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is only permitted in accordance with the terms of the existing stocks provisions of this cancellation order.

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

The cancellation order issued in this Notice includes the following existing stocks provisions: 1.
