Pasteuria usgae; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of the microbial pesticide, Pasteuria
usgae, in or on all food commodities when applied preharvest and used
as a nematicide in accordance with good agricultural practices.
MacIntosh and Associates Incorporated (on behalf of Pasteuria
Bioscience Incorporated) submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to
establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Pasteuria usgae.
DATES: This regulation is effective June 30, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before August 30, 2010,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0179. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://

SUMMARY: This joint Coast Guard and Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) temporary interim rule will suspend oil spill response time
requirements, and certain identification and location requirements, for

with the temporary opportunity to relocate response resources from
current locations to the Gulf of Mexico, this rule directly assists in
the urgently needed immediate relocation of nationwide oil spill
response resources to the Gulf of Mexico to aid in the response to the
Deepwater Horizon SONS. The rule also provides notice that the Federal
On-Scene Coordinator for the Deepwater Horizon SONS has requested the
Armed Forces to relocate Armed Forces oil spill response resources, in
particular those of the Navy, from their current locations to the Gulf
of Mexico to aid in the response to the Deepwater Horizon SONS.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective from June 30, 2010
through December 31, 2010.
