In addition, EPA is revising the commodity te rminology from "food/feed items (other than 
those covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in food/feed handling establishments" to "food commodities/feed commod ities (other than those covered by a higher 
tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in food/feed handling establishments" and from "sunflower" to "sunflower, seed".  The reason fo r taking this action is because such action has no 
practical impact on the use of or exposure to the p esticide active ingredient, zeta-cypermethrin, in or 
on these commodities and is made such that the tole rance terminology will conform to current Agency 
practice.  
This regulation is effective 19 September 2007.  Objections and requests for hearings must be 
received on or before 19 November 2007, and ma y be identified by docket number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2007-0036.

This action is subsequent to a proposed rule pub lished in the Federal Register 2 May 2007, in 
which the Agency announced receipt of a pesticid e petition proposing changes to existing tolerances 
for residues of zeta-cypermethrin when used on the above commodities.  There were no relevant 
comments received in respon se to this proposed rule.
