I. Introduction

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. The Act 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.

II. Intent to Delete Uses

This Notice announces receipt by the Agency of applications from
registrants to delete uses in the three pesticide registrations listed
in the following Table 1. These registrations are listed by
registration number, product names, active ingredients, and the
specific uses deleted. Users of these products who desire continued use
on crops or sites being deleted should contact the applicable
