development and used as future

planting seed. No seed may be used for

food or feed, and all other plant material

must be destroyed.

Calgene’s EUP program will include

the following three experiments

designed to evaluate the performance of

the expressed proteins against

lepidopteran pests: Strains Tests;

Breeding Nurseries, and Research Tests.

EPA’s scientific staff has evaluated

the potential for adverse effects on

nontarget species and the environment

as a result of this EUP. The Agency does

not foresee any human health risks or

effects resulting from the proposed field

tests because there will be minimal

human exposure.

Further, EPA foresees no significant

environmental impact resulting from the

testing under this EUP because it is of

limited acreage and duration and

because minimal offsite movement

(approximately three percent or less) of

expressed proteins is expected to occur.

Yet a potential exists for offspring of

commercially grown cotton to become

feral (wild), and these wild offspring

might have a selective advantage due to

the addition of these insect resistance

traits in their genetic make-up; however,

feral cotton has many additional

constraints, such as hardiness, habit,

and reproductive limits, which have

prevented it from becoming aggressive

or weedy despite cotton’s long

cultivation in the continental United

States. Hence, the expression of B.t.k.

protein or NPT II marker enzyme genes

is expected to neither create nor

aggravate any weedy or aggressive

characteristics in cotton grown for this

EUP.

Because the field tests will be

conducted in areas of the 11 States

where no known populations of

endangered lepidopteran species exist,

no risk is expected as a result of the

proposed field tests. In addition,

because of the low exposure due to the

limited acreage and duration of the EUP,

EPA feels that there will not be a

situation warranting a formal review

under the Endangered Species Act for

any endangered mammals, birds,

invertebrates, plants or aquatic species.

II. Labeling

The labeling states the following:

This package contains insect resistant

cottonseed expressing a Bacillus

thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (B.t.k.) protein

effective in controlling certain lepidopteran

insects. For use only at an application site of

a cooperator and in accordance with the

terms and conditions of the Experimental

Use Permit. This labeling must be in the

possession of the user at the time of planting.

Not for sale to any person other than a

participant or cooperator of the EPA

approved Experimental Use Permit Program.

The contents may only be used according to

the approved EUP program. Cooperators

must have at least one copy of each

applicable protocol prior to initiating any

research with the contents.

Miles Inc.; Renewal of Temporary

Tolerances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has renewed temporary

tolerances for residues of the insecticide

O-[2-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-5-pyrimidinyl]

O-ethyl O-(1-methylethyl)phosphorothioate and for residues of the

insecticide cyfluthrin in or on certain

raw agricultural commodities.

DATES: These temporary tolerances

expire December 31, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By

mail: Robert Forrest, Product Manager

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA

issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of June 8, 1994 (59 FR

29608), announcing that temporary

tolerances had been established for

residues of the insecticide O-[2-(1,1-

Dimethylethyl)-5-pyrimidinyl] O-ethyl

O-(1-methylethyl)phosphorothioate in

or on the raw agricultural commodities

corn, sweet (K + CWHR); corn, grain,

field and pop; corn, forage and fodder,

field, pop, and sweet at 0.01 part per

million (ppm), and for residues of the

insecticide cyfluthrin Cyano-(4-fluoro-3-

phenoxyphenyl)methyl-3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate in or on these

raw agricultural commodities at 0.01

ppm. These tolerances are being

renewed in response to pesticide

petitions (PP) 2G4048 and 2G4049,

submitted by Miles Inc., Agricultural

Division, P.O. Box 4913, Kansas City,

MO 64120–0013.

The company has requested a 1–year

renewal of the temporary tolerances for

residues of the insecticides to permit the

marketing of the above raw agricultural

commodities when treated in

accordance with the provisions of the

experimental use permit 3125–EUP–

202, which is being renewed under the

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended

(Pub. L. 95–396, 92 Stat. 819; 7 U.S.C.

136). The scientific data reported and

other relevant material were evaluated,

and it was determined that renewal of
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 1995 / Notices 24853

the temporary tolerances will protect

the public health. Therefore, the

temporary tolerances have been

renewed on the condition that the

pesticide be used in accordance with

the experimental use permit and with

the following provisions:

1. The total amount of the active

ingredient to be used must not exceed

the quantity authorized by the

experimental use permit.

2. Miles Inc., must immediately notify

the EPA of any findings from the

experimental use that have a bearing on

safety. The company must also keep

records of production, distribution, and

performance and on request make the

records available to any authorized

officer or employee of the EPA or the

Food and Drug Administration.

These tolerances expire December 31,

1995. Residues not in excess of these

amount remaining in or on the above

raw agricultural commodities after this

expiration date will not be considered

actionable if the pesticide is legally

applied during the term of, and in

accordance with, the provisions of the

experimental use permit and temporary

tolerances. These tolerances may be

revoked if the experimental use permit

is revoked or if any experience with or

scientific data on this pesticide indicate

that such revocation is necessary to

protect the public health.

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this notice from the

requirements of section 3 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).
