SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: American Cyanamid Company, P.O. Box 400, 
Princeton, NJ 08543, has requested in pesticide petition (PP) 4G4350 
the establishment of a temporary tolerance for residues of the 
herbicide AC 299,263 ( )-2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-
oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-methoxymethyl-3-pyridinecaboxylic acid in or on 
the raw agricultural commodity soybean seed. 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 (EUP) 241-EUP-127, 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 a 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 Company, 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 April 17, 1997. Residues 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 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).

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