SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rhone-Poulenc Ag Company, P.O. Box 12014, 
Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, has requested in pesticide petition 
(PP) 4G4414 the establishment of a temporary tolerance for residues of 
the plant growth regulator cyclanilide, 1-(2,4-
dichlorophenylaminocarbonyl)-cyclopropane carboxylic acid in or on the 
raw agricultural commodity cottonseed at 0.5 parts 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 264-EUP-97 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. Rhone-Poulenc Ag 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 August 14, 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 

[[Page 49838]]
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).
