[EPA–HQ–OPP–2015–0373; FRL–9941–17] 

Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, monoester 

With 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol; 

Exemption From the Requirement of a 

Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of propanoic acid, 

2-methyl-, monoester with 2,2,4- 

trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol when used as 

an inert ingredient (solvent, co-solvent) 

in pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops or raw agricultural 

commodities under the EPA’s 

regulations. Dow AgroSciences 

submitted a petition to EPA under the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), requesting establishment of an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. This regulation eliminates the 

need to establish a maximum 

permissible level for residues of 

propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, monoester 

with 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

January 22, 2016. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before March 22, 2016, and must 

be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
