SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the
Federal Register of June 8, 1994 (59 FR 29608), 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 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 [[Page 24853]] 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, 1995. 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).
