section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. In that order,
EPA set an expiration date of March 10, 1994 for the food additive
regulation affected by that order.

file written objections to the order, (2) file a written request for an
evidentiary hearing on the objection, and (3) file a petition for a
stay of the effective date. EPA stated that if any petition for a stay
were received, the Agency would stay the March 10, 1994 effective date
of the order as to the particular food additive regulation for which
the stay was sought for such time as is required to review and make a
determination on the stay petition(s).

of the effective date of the revocation announced in the November 10,
1993 Federal Register. Therefore, by this document EPA is staying the
effective date of that order until such time as EPA issues its response
to AMVAC's stay petition.
