Amendment to Existing Tolerance 

Exemption 

PP 8F7323. Stepan Company, 22 West 

Frontage Rd., Northfield, IL 60093, 

proposes to amend the tolerance in 40

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. When ready for 

use, end-use concentration of total 

quaternary chemicals, n-Alkyl (C12- 

C14) dimethyl ethylbenzyl ammonium 

chlorides, in solution is not to exceed 

400 parts per million (ppm). Analytical 

method is not necessary since these 

quaternary ammonium compounds are 

exempt from the requirement of a 

tolerance.
