d. Cancellation. The issuance of a notice of cancellation is appropriate 'whenever it is decided that the registrant-has failed to meet the statute?/ : requirements concerning the safety and effectiveness of a'pesticide. If a given rrsanur'acturer fails to challenge this cancellation within thirty days, the-cancellation is permanent. If the cancellation is challenged, t'n's admin-' ^'. istration process of review is initiated. During this time, the registrant (n'.anui'acturert must prove to the Administrator that his product meets the registration requirements. The Administrator will judge this new. information not only on a 'b-oientific assessment of hazard, but also on an'evaluation of the-bene'fits or the pesticide against its-risks.. The registrant may continue to produce, distribute, and sell the product for all. challenged uses covered by the existing registration, pending any administrative review which follows the notice of cancellation. Final cancellation will be issued when it is determined that a pesticide product no longer complies with the regulatory '" '' : '; '.:'. '.'} : : ^';.. ..; ; .statute.
