SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Comment Period Extension
On December 2, 1994, EPA published in the Federal Register a notice
proposing to revoke all folpet tolerances except for the tolerance on
avocados (59 FR 61859). The original due date for comments to the
Proposed Rule was January 3, 1995. EPA is extending the comment period
until March 3, 1995 for the following reasons: (1) due to a move, the
OPP docket was unavailable for a short period of time during the
initial 30-day comment period provided by the proposed rule; (2) EPA
received a request for an extension due to the docket problem and due
to the need to collect specific information that may be responsive to
the proposal (see letters [[Page 90]] from Weinberg dated 12/20/94 and
12/9/94: OPP Docket); and (3) a commenter identified additional issues
on which EPA is requesting comments (see letter from Weinberg dated 12/
19/94: OPP Docket).
B. Request for Additional Information
EPA is requesting the following: (1) that any interested parties
identify which tolerances the interested parties are willing to support
by providing the data necessary to maintain the tolerances; and (2)
that any interested parties identify specific existing data that the
interested parties are prepared to submit to support these tolerances.
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) requirements for studies submitted in
support of import tolerances are the same as for domestic uses; i.e.,
the studies are required to either fully meet GLP standards, or have
sufficient justification presented to show that deviations from GLP
requirements do not significantly affect the results of the study.
Interested parties should submit this information to the address listed
under ADDRESSES by March 3, 1995. For those tolerances for which
interested parties do not indicate support during the comment period,
EPA proposes to take final revocation action.
Dated: December 23, 1994.

Director, Special Review and Reregistration Division, Office of
Pesticide Programs.
