the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot

comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters,
any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index.
Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly
available, e.g., CBI or other information whose disclosure is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public in general. Although this
action may be of particular interest to persons who produce or use
pesticides, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the information in this notice, consult the person listed
under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
This notice announces receipt by the Agency of an application from
a registrant to cancel one pesticide product registered under section 3
or 24(c) of FIFRA. This registration is listed in Table 1 of this unit:
Table 1.--Registrations with Pending Requests for Cancellation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registration No. Product name Chemical name
------------------------------------------------------------------------
69061-4 Davis Triple Pyrethrins,
Pyrethrins Flea piperonyl
and Tick Shampoo butoxide, n-octyl
bicycloheptene
dicarboxamide and
di-n-propyl
isocinchomeronate
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A request to waive the 180-day comment period has been received
for the following registration: 69061-4. Therefore, the 30-day comment
period will apply for this registration.
Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant by January 19,
2007, an order will be issued canceling this registration. A person may
submit comments to EPA as provided in ADDRESSES and Unit I.B. of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION above. However, because FIFRA section
[[Page 76321]]
6(f)(1)(A) allows a registrant to request cancellation of its pesticide
registrations at any time, users or anyone else desiring retention of
those pesticides listed in Table 1 may want to contact the applicable
registrant in Table 2 directly during this period to request that the
registrant retain the pesticide registration or to discuss the
possibility of transferring the registration. A user seeking to apply
for its own registration of that pesticide may submit comments
requesting EPA not to cancel a registration until its ``me-too''
registration is granted.
Table 2 of this unit includes the names and addresses of record for
all registrants of the products in Table 1 of this unit, in sequence by
EPA company number:
Table 2.--Registrants Requesting Voluntary Cancellation
------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA Company No. Company name and address
------------------------------------------------------------------------
69061 Mr. Iain Weatherston,
Technology Sciences Group,

Sivad & Manufacturing
Packaging Inc. 541 Proctor
Avenue, Scottsdale, GA 30079
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 January 19, 2007. 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 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 one 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.
