ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[PP 3G4203/T662; FRL 4872-6]

 

Cadre; Establishment of a Temporary Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA has established a temporary tolerance for residues of the 
herbicide cadre in or the raw agricultural commodity peanut hulls or 
meat at 0.1 part per million (ppm).

DATES: This temporary tolerance expires May 31, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Robert Taylor, Product 
Manager (PM) 25, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide 
Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, 
DC 20460. Office location and telephone number: Rm. 245, CM#2, 1921 
Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA, (703) 305-6800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: American Cyanamid Co., Agricultural Research 
Division, P.O. Box 400, Princeton, NJ 08543-0400, has requested in 
pesticide petition (PP) 3G4203 the establishment of a temporary 
tolerance for residues of the herbicide cadre Ammonium salt of 
()-2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-
imidazol-2-yl]-5-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid in or on the raw 
agricultural commodity peanut hulls or meat at 0.1 part 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 241-EUP-125, 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. American Cyanamid 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 May 31, 1996. Residues not in excess of this 
amount 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 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).
