SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to petitions from the Rhone Poulenc Ag.

Co., P.O. Box 12014, Research Triangle

Park, NC 27709, EPA issued final rules

establishing temporary tolerances for

residues of the combined residues of the

insecticide thiodicarb in or on leafy

vegetables at 35 parts per million (ppm)

and broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower

at 7 ppm (see the Federal Register of

August 11, 1993 (58 FR 42673)).

To be consistent with conditional

registrations for thiodicarb on leafy

vegetables and broccoli, cabbage, and

cauliflower, which were due to expire

December 31, 1994, the Agency

established the tolerances with an

expiration date of August 15, 1995, to

cover residues expected to be present

from use during the period of

conditional registration while the

Agency continued to review studies on

acetamide, a metabolite, and the chronic

carcinogenicity studies for thiodicarb.

The Agency concluded that the human

risk posed by the use of thiodicarb on

leafy vegetables and broccoli, cabbage,

and cauliflower does not raise

significant concerns and that extending

the tolerances would still be protective

of human health. The Agency is

continuing to review submitted

toxicology studies.

In a notice in the Federal Register of

January 12, 1995 (60 FR 2962), the

Agency announced the receipt of a

request from Rhone Poulenc Ag. Co. to

extend the temporary tolerance for

thiodicarb and its metabolite for leafy

vegetables and broccoli, cabbage, and

cauliflower for 1 year with an expiration

date of August 15, 1996. No comments

were received as a result of the notice.

Therefore, as set forth below, the

temporary tolerances are extended for

an additional year with an expiration

date of August 15, 1996, to cover

residues existing from the continued

conditional registration of thiodicarb.

The tolerances could be made

permanent if full registration is

subsequently granted. Notice of further

action on these tolerances will be

published for comment in the Federal

Register. Residues remaining in or on

the above raw agricultural commodities

after expiration of the tolerances will

not be considered actionable if the

pesticide is legally applied during the

term of, and in accordance with,

provisions of the conditional

registrations.

Any person adversely affected by this

regulation may, within 30 days after

publication of this document in the

Federal Register, file written objections

with the Hearing Clerk, at the address

given above. 40 CFR 178.20. The

objections submitted must specify the

provisions for the regulation deemed

objectionable and the grounds for the

objections. 40 CFR 178.25. Each

objections must be accompanied by the

fee prescribed by 40 CFR 180.33(i). If a

hearing is requested, the objections

must include a statement of the factual

issue(s) on which a hearing will be

granted if the Administrator determines

that the material submitted shows the

following: There is a genuine and
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Rules and Regulations 24785

substantial issue of fact; there is a

reasonable possibility that available

evidence identified by the requestor

would, if established, resolve one or

more of such issues in favor of the

requestor, taking into account

uncontested claims or facts to the

contrary; and resolution of the factual

issues(s) in the manner sought by the

requestor would be adequate to justify

the action requested. 40 CFR 178.32.

A record has been established for this

rulemaking under docket number [PP

7F3516 and 6F3417/R2123] (including

any objections and hearing requests

submitted electronically as described

below). A public version of this record,

including printed, paper versions of

electronic comments, which does not

include any information claimed as CBI,

is available for inspection from 8 a.m. to

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,

excluding legal holidays. The public

record is located in Room 1132 of the

Public Response and Program Resources

Branch, Field Operations Division

(7506C), Office of Pesticide Programs,

Environmental Protection Agency,

Highway, Arlington, VA.

Written objections and hearing

requests, identified by the document

control number [PP 7F3516 and 6F3417/

R2123], may be submitted to the

Hearing Clerk (1900), Environmental

Protection Agency, Rm. 3708, 401 M St.,

A copy of electronic objections and

hearing requests filed with the Hearing

Clerk must be submitted as an ASCII file

avoiding the use of special characters

The official record for this

rulemaking, as well as the public

version, as described above will be kept

in paper form. Accordingly, EPA will

transfer any objections and hearing

requests received electronically into

printed, paper form as they are received

and will place the paper copies in the

official rulemaking record which will

also include all objections and hearing

requests submitted directly in writing.

The official rulemaking record is the

paper record maintained at the address

in ADDRESSES at the beginning of this

document.

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this rule from the

requirements of Executive Order 12866.

Pursuant to the requirements of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-

354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601-612),

the Administrator has determined that

regulations establishing new tolerances

or raising tolerance levels or

establishing exemptions from tolerance

requirements do not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. A certification

statement to this effect was published in

the Federal Register of May 4, 1981 (46

FR 24950).
