AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA has renewed a temporary tolerance for the combined 
residues of the insecticide Deltamethrin and its metabolites in or on 
the raw agricultural commodity cottonseed at 0.02 part per million 
(ppm).

DATES: This temporary tolerance expires June 1, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: George LaRocca, -Product 
Manager (PM) 13, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide 
Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, 
DC 20460. -Office location and telephone number: Rm. 202, CM#2, 1921

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the 
Federal Register of November 24, 1993 (58 FR 62122), stating that a 
temporary tolerance had been established for the combined residues of 
the insecticide Deltamethrin (1R,3R)-3 (2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-
dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (s)--cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 
ester and its metabolite, trans-deltamethrin: (1S,3R)-3 (2,2-
dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-carboxylic acid (S)-alpha-cyano-
3-phenoxybenzyl ester and alpha-R-deltamethrin: (1R,3R)-3 (2,2-
dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-carboxylic acid (R)-alpha-cyano-
3-phenoxybenzyl ester in or on the raw agricultural commodity 
cottonseed at 0.02 part per million (ppm). This tolerance is renewed in 
response to pesticide petition (PP) 0G3916, submitted by Hoechst-
Roussel Agri-Vet Co., Route 202-206, P.O. Box 2500, Somerville, NJ 
08876-1258.
    The company has requested a 1-year renewal of a temporary tolerance 
for residues of the insecticide to permit the continued marketing of 
the above raw agricultural commodity when treated in accordance with 
the provisions of the experimental use permit 34147-EUP-3, 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 a renewal of the temporary 
tolerance will protect the public health. Therefore, the temporary 
tolerance has 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. Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet 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 June 1, 1995. Residues not in excess of this 
amount remaining in or on the above 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 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).
