foxtails. Applications of Puma 1EC

would be made postemergent to wheat

and foxtail emergence via ground or

aerial application methods between May

15 and July 15, 1996 when foxtail weeds

are susceptible to control by this

product. Application rates range from

0.33 to 0.66 pints of Puma 1EC per acre

depending on weed species controlled.

This notice does not constitute a

Ciba Plant Protection; Establishment

of a Temporary Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has established a

temporary tolerance for residues of the

herbicide CGA-277476 (2-[[[[(4,6-

dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)-

amino]carbonyl]amino]-

sulfonyl]benzoic acid, 3-oxetanyl ester

in or on the raw agricultural commodity

soybeans at 0.01 part per million (ppm).

This temporary tolerance was requested

by Ciba Plant Protection.

DATES: This temporary tolerance expires

December 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By

mail: Robert Taylor, Product Manager

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ciba Plant

Protection, P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro,

NC 27419–8300, has requested in

pesticide petition (PP) 5G4513 the

establishment of a temporary tolerance

for residues of the herbicide CGA277476 (2-[[[[(4,6-dimethyl-2-

pyrimidinyl)-amino]carbonyl]amino]-

sulfonyl]benzoic acid, 3-oxetanyl ester

in or on the raw agricultural commodity

soybeans at 0.01 part 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 100-EUP-101,

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 a

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. Ciba 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 December 31,

1997. Residues not in excess of this

amount 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

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).
