SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that EPA has received 
from the U.S. Canola Association, a request that the Agency initiate an 
extension of the existing time-limited tolerance for use of carbofuran 
on canola. The current tolerance was established in the Federal 
Register of February 22, 1995 (60 FR 9781) for carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-
2,2-dimethyl-7-benzoate-N-methylcarbamate), its carbamate metabolite, 
2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-7-benzofuranyl-N-methylcarbamate, 
and its phenolic metabolites, 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranol, 
2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxo-7-benzofuranol and 2,3-dihydro-2,2-
dimethyl-3,7-benzofurandiol, in or on canola at 1.0 part per million 
(ppm) with an expiration date of February 22, 1997. The U.S. Canola 
Association has requested that EPA initiate a 1-year extension of the 
tolerance to establish a new expiration date of February 22, 1998. EPA 
can establish tolerances on its own initiative under under the Federal 
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA sections 408(e) and 409(d)).
     A record has been established for this rulemaking under docket 
number [PF-637] (including comments and data submitted electronically 
as described below). A public version of this record, including 
printed, paper versions of electronic comments, which does not include 
any information claimed as CBI, is available for inspection from 8 a.m.

public record is located in Room 1132 of the Public Response and 
Program Resources Branch, Field Operations Division (7506C), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, Crystal Mall #2, 
1921 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA.

    Electronic comments must be submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the 
use of special characters and any form of encryption.
    The official record for this rulemaking, as well as the public
