This is the last registered use of this herbicide; it has not been marketed in the U.S. for several years. Unless withdrawn by the registrant, this cancellation becomes final on 10/18/94. PBI/Gordon will consider continuing this use if another party wishes to develop the required data. If cancelled, existing stocks of perfluidone in the hands of dealers and users can be distributed, sold or used until such stocks are depleted.
