SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of July 28, 1993 (58 FR 40425), announcing that 
temporary tolerances had been established for residues of the 
insecticide O-[2-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-5-pyrimidinyl] O-ethyl O-(1-
methylethyl)phosphorothioate in or on the raw agricultural commodities 
corn, sweet (K + CWHR); corn, grain, field and pop; corn, forage and 
fodder, field, pop, and sweet at 0.01 part per million (ppm), and for 
residues of the insecticide cyfluthrin Cyano-(4-fluoro-3-
phenoxyphenyl)methyl-3-(2,2-dichloro-ethenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-
cyclopropanecarboxylate in or on these raw agricultural commodities at 
0.01 ppm. These tolerances are being renewed in response to pesticide 
petitions (PP) 2G4048 and 2G4049, submitted by Miles Inc., Agricultural 
Division, P.O. Box 4913, Kansas City, MO 64120-0013.
    The company has requested a 1-year renewal of the temporary 
tolerances for residues of the insecticides to permit the continued 
marketing of the above raw agricultural commodities when treated in 
accordance with the provisions of the experimental use permit 3125-EUP-
202, which is being renewed 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 renewal of the temporary 
tolerances will protect the public health. Therefore, the temporary 
tolerances have been renewed 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. Miles Inc., 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.
    These tolerances expire December 31, 1994. Residues not in excess 
of these amount remaining in or on the above raw agricultural 
commodities 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 tolerances. These tolerances 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 requirements of section 3 of Executive Order 12866.
    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).
