ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0099; FRL-8094-3]
Notice of Receipt of Requests for Amendments to Delete Uses in
Certain Pesticide Registrations; Technical Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 1, 2006, EPA issued a Notice of Receipt of
Requests for Amendments by Registrants to Delete Uses in Certain
Pesticide Registrations. 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 amended to delete one or more uses.
FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must
publish a notice of receipt of any request in the Federal Register. The
September 1 Notice inadvertently included a request to delete both
cotton and pome fruit from EPA Registration 264-805, Thiacloprid
Technical, and EPA Registration 264-806, Calypso 4 Flowable
Insecticide. The Notice should have listed a request to delete only
cotton from these registrations.
DATES: Because this technical correction removes one use deletion
request, the effective date for the remaining use deletions remains
unchanged from the September 1 Notice. The remaining deletions are
effective February 28, 2007, unless the Agency receives a written
withdrawal request on or before February 28, 2007. The Agency will
consider a withdrawal request postmarked no later than February 28,
2007.
Users of these products who desire continued use on crops or sites
being deleted should contact the applicable registrant on or before
February 28, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Submit your withdrawal request, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0099, by one of the
following methods:

Notice inadvertently included a request to delete both cotton and pome

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 use deletion must

postmarked no later than February 28, 2007.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
The Agency has authorized the registrants to sell or distribute
product under the previously approved labeling for a period of 18
months after approval of the revision, unless other restrictions have
