Stepan Company, 22 West Frontage Rd., Northfield, IL 60093, proposes to amend the tolerance in 40 CFR 180.190(a) for residues of the antimicrobial pesticide formulations containing n-Alkyl (C12-C14) dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium chlorides that may be applied to food contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy processing equipment, and food processing equipment and utensils.
