Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 116 / Friday, June 14, 1996 / Notices 30237

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 tolerances will protect

the public health. Therefore, the

temporary tolerances have 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. Abbott Laboratories 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 June 1, 1997.

Residues not in excess of these amounts

remaining in or on the 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

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).
