AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA has renewed a temporary tolerance for residues of the 
plant growth regulator, cyclanilide in or on the raw agricultural 
commodity cottonseed at 0.75 parts per million (ppm).

DATES: This temporary tolerance expires January 1, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Cynthia Giles-Parker , 
Product Manager (PM) 22, Registration Division (7505C), Office of 
Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., 
Washington, DC 20460. Office location and telephone number: Rm. 229,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice published in the Federal 
Register of September 27, 1995 (60 FR 49837), stating that a temporary 
tolerance had been established 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 tolerance is renewed at 
0.75 ppm in response to Pesticide Petition (PP) 4G4414, submitted by 
Rhone-Poulenc AG Company, P.O. Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive, 
Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-2014.
    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 264-EUP-97, 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. Rhone-Poulenc AG 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 January 1, 1997. 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).
