ELR Citation: ELR 20087
No(s). 643-70 (10th Cir. Jan 26, 1972)

Preliminary injunction of administrative cancellation of registration proceedings, which were initiated under FIFRA against weed and pest killers containing arsenic trioxide, is set aside. Until the actual decision to cancel or not to cancel the registration is made, there is no irreparable injury justifying the injunction. If cancellation does result, plaintiff manufacturer may seek judicial review in the court of appeals. The administrative regulations governing cancellation proceedings are valid except that the registrant who requests submission of the issues to an advisory committee cannot be required to make a cash deposit to secure his payment of the committee's costs should it decide against him.
