Spinetoram; Pesticide Tolerances. Final Rule  
EPA issued a final rule establishing tolerances for residues of the insecticide spinetoram in or on 
multiple commodities which inadvertently instructed the Federal Register to add a tolerance for 
"vegetable, leafy, except Brassica , group 4" and to remove a  tolerance for "vegetable, leafy, 
group  4-16". This notification corrects the final regulation.
