IN THIS EPA UPDATE:
ETHION CANCELLATION ORDER PUBLISHED
EPA has published a cancellation order for registrations of all ethion pesticide products by three registrants. This cancellation
order follows a notice in the September 26, 2001, Federal Register announcing receipt of requests for cancellation of these
products and a public comment period. EPA has received no comments, and is therefore granting the requested cancellation
orders. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is only permitted in accordance with the
terms of the existing stocks provisions of this cancellation order. Cancellation of manufacturing-use products will be effective
on October 1, 2003, and cancellation of end-use products will be effective on December 31, 2003. Sale of existing stocks is
prohibited as of October 1, 2004, and use of these products will be prohibited as of December 31, 2004.
The Federal Register notice, published March 22, 2002, is available on EPA's web site (http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/). For

Why were these POISONS "registered" in the first place?
Respectfully, Stephen L. Tvedten
