FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any request in the Federal Register .

Dates

The deletions in Table 1 are effective August 26, 2013, because the registrants requested a waiver of the 180-day comment period, unless the Agency receives a written withdrawal request on or before August 26, 2013. The Agency will consider a withdrawal request postmarked no later than August 26, 2013.
