Two Isopropylamine Salts of Alkyl C
4 and Alkyl C 8-10 Ethoxyphosphate Esters; Exemption from the 
Requirement of a Tolerance; Technical Correction  
 The Environmental Protection Agency issued a fina l rule in the Federal Register of 1 June 2005, 
establishing two tolerance exemptions for two isopropyla mine salts. This document is being issued to 
correct the CAS Reg. No. for one of those sal ts, 2-propanamine, compound with [alpha]-phosphono-
[omega]-butoxypoly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) (2:1). A tolerance exemption for 2-propanamine, compound 
with [alpha]-phosphono-[omega]-butoxypoly (oxy-1 ,2-ethanediyl) (2:1) was established in the 
Federal Register of 1 June 2005, (70 FR 31 365) (FRL-7712-1). In that document the CAS 
Registration No. (CAS Reg. No.) in the tolera nce exemption expression and in the preamble was 
incorrectly listed as 43140-31-2. The valid CAS Reg. No. should be 431040-31-2.
