The intent of this network is to inform interested parties of recent or
impending pesticide use cancellations, tolerance revocations, and other items of agricultural interest.  To the best of our knowledge, the uses mentioned here, unless otherwise indicated, will not appear on any label registered by the USEPA after those uses are canceled.  We recommend that you express any concerns or questions you have to the contact mentioned below or to your NAPIAP State Liaison Representative.  If you wish to contact us at USDA, our phone number is (301) 504-8846, and our fax number is (301) 504-8063.
  ===========================================================================    The USEPA has proposed the revocation of all tolerance, food additive, and
feed additive regulations established for residues of the 17 pesticides
listed below.  They are initiating this action because the applicable
registrations for these pesticides have been canceled.  The USEPA is not
recommending the establishment of action levels in place of these
regulations.  Written comments, identified by OPP-300328, should be sent to
the Public Response Section of EPA by 6/13/94.  The USEPA requests that any
adversely affected person answer these questions: 1) Are there any existing
stocks of the chemical?  2) If so, how much? 3) When will the stocks be
depleted? 4) How long would the commodities treated with these chemicals be
in the channels of trade?
