Title: Notice of Receipt of Requests to Voluntarily Cancel Certain Pesticide Registrations; Technical Correction Date of publication:April 11, 2006 Citation:Volume 71, Number 69, Page 18328-18329 http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2006/April/Day-11/p5112.htm Purpose: EPA issued a notice of receipt of request by registrants to voluntarily cancel certain pesticide registrations in the Federal Register of February 22, 2006. The notice announced that 90 pesticide registrations would be canceled unless a cancellation request was withdrawn by August 21, 2006. The 90 registrations were listed in Table 1. This notice corrects information in Table 1 for one of the registrations. EPA Registration Number 000100-01074 (Cyclone Concentrate Herbicide) was erroneously included in the February 22, 2006 Notice, therefore with this technical correction EPA is removing EPA Registration Number 000100-01074 (Cyclone Concentrate Herbicide) from Table 1 of the February 22, 2006 Federal Register Notice. A request to voluntarily cancel EPA Registration Number 000100-01074 (Cyclone Concentrate Herbicide) was previously published in the Federal Register of October 28, 2005. The terms of the October 28, 2005 Notice take precedent over the erroneous inclusion of this registration in the February 22, 2006 Federal Register Notice. Chemical(s):Various Comments: Unless the request to cancel EPA Registration Number 000100- 01074 (Cyclone Concentrate Herbicide) is withdrawn by April 26, 2006 an order will be issued canceling this registration. The Agency will consider withdrawal requests postmarked no later than April 26, 2006. EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket identification number (ID)[EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0084; Contact: John Jamula, Information Technology and Resources Management Division (7502C), telephone number: (703) 305-6426; e-mail address:jamula.john@epa.gov.

Title: Pennsylvania and Virginia State Plans for Certification of Applicators of Restricted Use Pesticides; Notice of Approval Date of publication: April 11, 2006 Citation: Volume 71, Number 69,Page 18328 http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2006/April/Day-11/p5326.htm Purpose: In the Federal Register of October 28, 2005, EPA issued a notice of intent to approve amended Pennsylvania and Virginia Plans for the certification of applicators of restricted use pesticides. In this notice EPA solicited comments from the public on the proposed action to approve the amended Pennsylvania and Virginia Plans. The amended Certification Plans Pennsylvania and Virginia submitted to EPA contained several statutory, regulatory, and programmatic changes to their current Certification Plans. The proposed amendments establish new commercial categories for vertebrate pest control. One public comment was received that had no specific information relevant to the issues presented; therefore, no changes were made based on this comment. EPA hereby approves the amended Pennsylvania and Virginia Plans.
