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),

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 timelimited 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.

‘‘November 17, 1996’’, and by adding

new paragraph (d), to read as follows:

§ 180.472 1-[(6-Chloro-3-pyridinyl) methyl]-

N-nitro-2-imidazolidinimine; tolerances for

residues.

(d) A time-limited tolerance, to expire

June 28, 1995, is established permitting

residues of the insecticide 1-[(6-chloro3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-

imidazolidinimine and its metabolites
