SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that EPA has received
from the U.S. Canola Association, a request that the Agency initiate an
extension of the existing time-limited tolerance for use of carbofuran
on canola. The current tolerance was established in the Federal
Register of February 22, 1995 (60 FR 9781) for carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-
2,2-dimethyl-7-benzoate-N-methylcarbamate), its carbamate metabolite,
2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-7-benzofuranyl-N-methylcarbamate,
and its phenolic metabolites, 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranol,
2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxo-7-benzofuranol and 2,3-dihydro-2,2-
dimethyl-3,7-benzofurandiol, in or on canola at 1.0 part per million
(ppm) with an expiration date of February 22, 1997. The U.S. Canola
Association has requested that EPA initiate a 1-year extension of the
tolerance to establish a new expiration date of February 22, 1998. EPA
can establish tolerances on its own initiative under under the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA sections 408(e) and 409(d)).
A record has been established for this rulemaking under docket
number [PF-637] (including comments and data submitted electronically

opp-Docket@epamail.epa.gov
Electronic comments must be submitted as an ASCII file avoiding the
use of special characters and any form of encryption.
The official record for this rulemaking, as well as the public
