Aspergillus flavus AF36; Exemption fro m the Requirement of a Tolerance
 
 This final rule establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 
the microbial pesticide, Aspergillus flavus AF36, in or on corn food and feed commodities, when 
applied/used as an antifungal agent. The Arizona  Cotton Research and Protection Council submitted a 
petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Co smetic Act (FFDCA), re questing an amendment
