Pesticide Tolerance for Imidacloprid; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; Technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is issuing a technical amendment to a final rule on the 
insecticide imidacloprid (1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-
imidazolidinimine) and its metabolites to designate the tolerance for 
hops as a time-limited tolerance and to correct a typographical error 
in an expiration date for a tolerance for cottonseed.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 22, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis H. Edwards, Product Manager (PM 
19), Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide Programs, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460. 
Office location and telephone number: Rm. 207, CM #2, 1921 Jefferson 
Davis Hwy., Arlington, VA 22202, (703)-305-3686.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of November 30, 1994 
(59 FR 61278), EPA revised 40 CFR 180.472 and removed the time-limited 
designation for commodities listed in paragraph (a). The listing 
``Hops, dried'' at 3.0 ppm inadvertently was left in paragraph (a) in 
the new list of commodities without a time-limited designation, but 
hops should have retained the time-limited designation, June 28, 1995, 
and been moved to a new paragraph. EPA is rectifying this oversight by 
designating the time-limited tolerance for hops in new paragraph (d) 
under 40 CFR 180.472. Also, in the November 30, 1994 document (59 FR 
61278), a typographical error in 40 CFR 180.472(b), i.e., the November 
17, 1994 time-limited designation, is corrected to read ``November 17, 
1996''. The November 17, 1996 expiration date was specified in the 
preamble of the document, and its is correctly stated in the time-
limited tolerance for cottonseed meal in 40 CFR 186.900(b) in the same 
document.
    This document contains corrections and technical amendments only 
and does not require notice and comment, 5 U.S.C. 553.
