It excludes cancella- tions on those use patterns that were cancelled by Pesticide Regula- tion Notices based on "residues," "no residues," and zero tolerances," as well as notices of cancellations to single registrants.^ Pesticides which have been voluntarily cancelled by some but not all registrants, and have not met or exceeded "risk criteria" established by the Special Pesticide Review Division are also excluded. This list is not a statement of Agency policy, but is primarily de- signed as a quick reference guide to be used by Regional EPA in- spectors. However, the list can also serve as a general reference for anyone involved or interested in pesticide regulatory work. Material for this edition of the booklet was compiled as of October 1979. This is the third edition of this publication. Future Agency ac- tions will necessitate updating and republishing this booklet, and this will continue to be done periodically. Comments on the accuracy and completeness of this list should be sent to: Pesticides and Toxic Substances Enforcement Division (EN-342) Environmental Protection Agency Washington, D.C. 20460 ------- >esticide/ Use Affected Action Reference Mdrin Arsenic Trioxide Basic Copper irsenate JHC Jithionol Ihloranil Ihlordane Cancelled, all uses except those in the following list: 1. subsurface ground insertion for termite control. 2. dipping of non-food roots and tops. 3. moth-proofing by manufacturing processes in a closed system.

This precludes land on which regular cultural practices of the nature con- tained in the pasture definition are followed.

The M-44 device shall not be used solely to take animals for the value of their fur. 4. The M-44 device shall only be used in instances where actual livestock losses due to predation by wild canids are occurring. M-44 devices may also be used prior to recurrence of seasonal depreda- tion, but only when a chronic problem exists in a specific area. In each case, full documentation of livestock depredation, including evidence that such losses were caused by wild canids, will be required before appliation of the M-44 is undertaken. 5.
