 La norma notificada establece en 5 partes por mill ón el nivel de tolerancia de los residuos de

 La disposición notificada entró en vigor el 4 de abril de 2007.  Las objeciones y solicitudes de 
audiencia deben recibirse a más tardar el 4 de junio de 2007, identificadas con el número del 
expediente de consulta ( docket ) EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0731.

páginas 16281 a 16283:  http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2007/April/Day-04/p5804.htm . 
 La medida da respuesta a una notificación publicada en el Federal Register  de 6 de diciembre 
de 2006 (71 FR 70703) (FRL-8104-1), por la que  se propone una norma, y se señala que el 
reglamento relativo a la toleranc ia de residuos de difenilamina  es conforme a la normativa de 
seguridad.  El Consejo Hortícola del Noroeste ha presentado dos observaciones favorables al 
establecimiento de los niveles de tolerancia de r esiduos de difenilamina en las peras.  Asimismo, un 
particular ha presentado una observación desfavorable  a la autorización de venta de los plaguicidas 
cuyos residuos puedan estar presentes en los productos alimenticios.  La Agencia respondió 
previamente a estas observaciones relativas a la va lidez del empleo de pruebas con animales para 
determinar el potencial de toxici dad de un plaguicida.  Véase el Federal Register :  70 FR 1349  (7 de 
enero de 2005).  El comunicante también indicó que  la Agencia era "negligente" por haber realizado 
solamente pruebas de 90 días de duración en ratas.  Sin embargo, esta observación es errónea, porque 
la EPA examinó otros estudios realizados con ratas, que abarcaron todo el período de vida y de varias 
generaciones de esos animales ( 71 FR 70703 ) (FRL-7691-4, 6 de diciembre de 2006).  La observación 
final era contraria a la propuesta de reglamento basándose tan sólo en que hay "demasiadas bacterias" 
y demasiados reglamento relativos a plaguicidas.   La observación no aporta ningún fundamento 
racional ni información de apoyo, y por lo tanto no se hace acreedora a una res puesta.  El aviso se
