=============================================================================
oxydemeton-methyl  The USEPA has issued an intent to cancel all products of
 (Metasystox R)    oxydemeton-methyl based on a request for voluntary
                   cancellation from all of its registrants.  Notice of this
                   request was made here on 11/5/93, along with a list of
                   sites affected.  Unless this request is withdrawn by
                   6/9/94, the USEPA is likely to publish the cancellation of
                   this insecticide-miticide.  Existing stocks may be sold or
                   shipped by the registrants until 9/30/94.  Existing stocks
                   in the hands of dealers and users may be shipped, sold,
                   and used until such supplies are exhausted.
