[PP 3G4244/T670; FRL 4936-8]

E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc; Establishment of a Temporary 
Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA has established a temporary tolerance for residues of the 
herbicide Staple pyrithiobac-sodium derived from its application in or 
on the raw agricultural commodity cottonseed at 0.02 parts per million 
(ppm).

DATES: This temporary tolerance expires March 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: Cynthia Giles-Parker, Product 
Manager (PM) 22, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide 
Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, 
DC 20460. Office location and telephone number: Rm. 229, CM #2, 1921 
Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA, (703) 305-5540.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Barley 
Mills Plaza, Walker's Mill, P.O. Box 80038, Wilmington, DE 19880-0038, 
has requested in pesticide petition (PP) 3G4244, the establishment of a 
temporary tolerance for residues of the herbicide Staple pyrithiobac-
sodium derived from its application in or on the raw agricultural 
commodity cottonseed at 0.02 parts per million (ppm). This temporary 
tolerance will permit the marketing of the above raw agricultural 
commodity when treated in accordance with the provisions of the 
experimental use permit 352-EUP-162, which is being issued 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 establishment of the temporary 
tolerance will protect the public health. Therefore, the temporary 
tolerance has been established 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. E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 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.
    This tolerance expires March 31, 1997. Residues not in excess of 
this amounts remaining in or on the raw agricultural commodity 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 
[[Page 12765]] tolerance. This tolerance 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 requirement 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).

    Authority: 21 U.S.C. 346a(j).
