Ammonium Formate; 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 ammonium formate (CAS Reg. No. 540-69-2)
when used as an inert ingredient (complexing or fixing agent with
copper compounds) in pesticide formulations for certain pre-harvest
uses. Phyton Corporation submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation
eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of ammonium formate.
DATES: This regulation is effective September 15, 2010. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before November 15, 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).
