SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: InterRegional Reserach Project No. 4, New

Jersey Agricultural Experiment, Rutgers

Cook College, P.O. Box 231, New

Brunswick, NJ 08903, has requested in

pesticide petition PP 5E4575, the

establishment of an exemption from the

requirement of a tolerance for residues

of the microbial pesticide Aspergillus

flavus AF 36 in or on the raw

agricultural commodity cotton. This

temporary exemption from the

requirement of a tolerance will permit

the marketing of the above raw

agricultural commodity when treated in

accordance with the provisions of

experimental use permit 69224-EUP-1,

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 the exemption

from the requirement of a tolerance will

protect the public health. Therefore, the

temporary exemption from the

requirement of a 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. Inter-Regional Research Project No.

4, must immediately notify the EPA of

any findings from the experimental use

permit 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 temporary exemption from the

requirement of a tolerance expires May

20, 1999. Residues 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 exemption from the

requirement of a tolerance. This

temporary exemption from the

requirement of a 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
