Residues of Silver in Foods from Food Contact Surface Sanitizing
Solutions; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation amends the exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of silver (excludes silver salts) in or on all

equipment, and food-processing equipment. ETO H2O, Inc., submitted a
petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
requesting to establish concentration limits for silver in end-use
solutions eligible for tolerance exemption. The regulation being
established will exempt all foods from the requirement of a tolerance
for residues of silver resulting from contact with surfaces treated
with solutions in which the end-use concentration of silver is not to
exceed 50 parts per million (ppm).

DATES: This regulation is effective June 10, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before August 10, 2009 and
must be filed in accordance with the itructions provided in 40 CFR part
178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
