ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[PP 1G3998/T653; FRL 4748-7]

 

Iprodione; Establishment of a Temporary Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA has established a temporary tolerance for the combined 
residues of the fungicide Iprodione, its isomer and its metabolite in 
or on the raw agricultural commodity cotton seed.

DATES: This temporary tolerance expires January 1, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Sidney C. Jackson, Acting, 
Product Manager (PM) 21, Registration Division (7505C), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., 
Washington, DC 20460. Office location and telephone number: Rm. 227, 
CM#2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA, (703) 305-6900.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rhone-Poulenc AG Company, P.O. Box 12014, 2 
T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, has requested 
in pesticide petition (PP) 1G3998, the establishment of a temporary 
tolerance for the combined residues of the fungicide Iprodione [3-(3,5-
dichlorophenyl)-N-(methylethyl)-2,4-dioxo-1-imidazolidinecarboximide], 
its isomer [3-(1-methylethyl)-N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-2,4-dioxo-1-
imidazolidinecarboximide], and its metabolite [3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-
2,4-dioxo-1-imidazolidinecarboximide] in or on the raw agricultural 
commodity cotton seed at 0.10 parts per million (ppm). This temporary 
tolerance will permit the marketing of the above raw agricultural 
commodity when treated in accordance with the provisions of the 
experimental use permit 264-EUP-91, which is being issued under the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended 
(Pub. L. 95-396, 92 Stat. 819; 7 U.S.C. 136).
    The scientific data reported and other relevant material were 
evaluated, and it was determined that establishment of the temporary 
tolerance will protect the public health. Therefore, the temporary 
tolerance has been established on the condition that the pesticide be 
used in accordance with the experimental use permit and with the 
following provisions:
    1. The total amount of the active ingredient to be used must not 
exceed the quantity authorized by the experimental use permit.
    2. Rhone-Poulenc AG Co., must immediately notify the EPA of any 
findings from the experimental use that have a bearing on safety. The 
company must also keep records of production, distribution, and 
performance and on request make the records available to any authorized 
officer or employee of the EPA or the Food and Drug Administration.
    This tolerance expires January 1, 1996. Residues not in excess of 
this amounts remaining in or on the raw agricultural commodity after 
this expiration date will not be considered actionable if the pesticide 
is legally applied during the term of, and in accordance with, the 
provisions of the experimental use permit and temporary tolerance. This 
tolerance may be revoked if the experimental use permit is revoked or 
if any experience with or scientific data on this pesticide indicate 
that such revocation is necessary to protect the public health.
    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this notice from 
the requirement of section 3 of Executive Order 12291.
    Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 
(Pub. L. 96-354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601-612), the Administrator 
has determined that regulations establishing new tolerances or raising 
tolerance levels or establishing exemptions from tolerance requirements 
do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. A certification statement to this effect was published 
in the Federal Register of May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950).

    Authority: 21 U.S.C. 346a(j).
