Subsection (e) shall apply to actions taken under this paragraph. A revocation under this paragraph shall become effective not later than 180 days after— "(A) the date by which each such cancellation of a registration has become effective; or "(B) the date on which the use of the canceled pesticide becomes unlawful under the terms of the cancellation, whichever is later.
