ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[OPP–170005; FRL–6559–3]

Pesticides; Guidance on Pesticide

Import Tolerances and Residue Data

for Imported Food; Request for

Comment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

SUMMARY: This document provides

detailed guidance on applying current

U.S. data requirements for the

establishment or continuance of

tolerances for pesticide residues in or on

imported foods. The purpose of this

guidance is to promote greater

transparency and provide clear

guidance to interested parties on how to

obtain an import tolerance. This

guidance includes information on how

to adapt data requirements for U.S. food

uses to import tolerances, both for

establishing new import tolerances and

for modifying or maintaining existing

U.S. tolerances for import purposes

when U.S. uses or registrations are

canceled. The Agency is soliciting

comments on the approach reflected in

this detailed guidance.

In addition, the Agency expects to

consider certain information on

pesticide use outside the U.S. and

resulting pesticide chemical residues in

or on imported food to establish or

modify tolerances when there is a

corresponding U.S. registration and use.

EPA may also require additional

information and/or data to better

characterize the nature of residues in or

on imports when such information and/

or data are necessary to make the

required safety finding during

registration, reregistration, or tolerance

reassessment. This would apply to a

limited number of cases when imported

commodities comprise a high

percentage of U.S. consumption;

domestic residue data are not likely to

be representative of growing conditions

in other countries; and U.S. consumers

would likely be exposed to significant

residues in imported foods. The Agency

is developing criteria to implement this

requirement and is soliciting comments.

In addition to meeting the

requirements of the Federal Food, Drug,

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended

by the Food Quality Protection Act of

1996 (FQPA), this guidance has been

developed consistent with the goals of

the North American Free Trade

Agreement (NAFTA), including

minimizing trade irritants among the

NAFTA countries. This document also

addresses the U.S. obligations under the

World Trade Organization Agreement

on the Application of Sanitary and

Phytosanitary Measures.

DATES: Comments, identified by the

docket number OPP–170005, must be

received on or before July 31, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be

submitted by mail, electronically, or in

person. Please follow the detailed

instructions for each method as

provided in Unit I. of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of

this notice.
