Did EPA's 1996 pesticide list of 80 get published, and what happened to them?
Research question: Did the EPA's late-1996 list of about 80 planned pesticide actions appear in a Federal Register notice or EPA public record, and if so, how many of those pesticides were ultimately cancelled, restricted, or retained?
The verified records do not contain a Federal Register notice or EPA public record listing approximately 80 planned pesticide actions from late 1996. Instead, the facts show a May 1996 notice regarding the revocation of tolerances for 13 specific pesticide chemicals 13. Additionally, a September 1996 notice addressed requests to delete uses in 15 specific pesticide registrations, explicitly noting this was not the approximately 80 planned actions mentioned in the question 5. Consequently, the provided evidence does not specify how many pesticides were ultimately cancelled, restricted, or retained from a list of 80 actions.

"EPA proposes to revoke tolerances established for residues of 13 pesticide chemicals in or on certain raw agricultural commodities (RACs) and processed foods. EPA is initiating this action because there are no current registrations associated with these food uses. The applicable registrations for these pesticide uses have been canceled because of nonpayment of maintenance fees, or by company reque"Federal Register :: Pesticide Chemicals; Various Tolerance Actions
"EPA has therefore decided to delay the revocation of dalapon, diphenamid, glyodin and DNOC until May 1, 1999, instead of immediately to allow domestic growers who may still have stocks on hand to use up their supplies and permit any treated raw commodities and products processed from such commodities to move through marketing channels"Federal Register :: Pesticide Chemicals; Various Tolerance Actions
