of a Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes a time-limited exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of [alpha]-[p-(1,1,3,3-
tetramethylbutyl)phenyl]-[omega]-hydroxypoly(oxyethylene) when used as
an inert ingredient at levels not to exceed 7% in pesticide
formulations applied to growing crops and raw agricultural commodities
after harvest. The Joint Inerts Task Force, Cluster Support Team Number
5 requested an exemption for the requirement of a tolerance under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). The exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance expires on May 17, 2012. This regulation
eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of [alpha]-[p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenyl]-[omega]-
hydroxypoly(oxyethylene).

DATES: This regulation is effective May 17, 2010. Objections and
