ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[PP 5G4513/T688; FRL 5369-2]
Ciba Plant Protection; Establishment of a Temporary Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA has established a temporary tolerance for residues of the
herbicide CGA-277476 (2-[[[[(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)-
amino]carbonyl]amino]-sulfonyl]benzoic acid, 3-oxetanyl ester in or on
the raw agricultural commodity soybeans at 0.01 part per million (ppm).
This temporary tolerance was requested by Ciba Plant Protection.
DATES: This temporary tolerance expires December 31, 1997.

Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ciba Plant Protection, P.O. Box 18300,
Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, has requested in pesticide petition (PP)
5G4513 the establishment of a temporary tolerance for residues of the
herbicide CGA-277476 (2-[[[[(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)-
amino]carbonyl]amino]-sulfonyl]benzoic acid, 3-oxetanyl ester in or on
the raw agricultural commodity soybeans at 0.01 part per million (ppm).
This temporary tolerance will permit the marketing of the above raw
agricultural commodity when treated in accordance with the provisions
of the experimental use permit 100-EUP-101, which is being issued under
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended (Pub. L. 95-396, 92 Stat. 819; 7 U.S.C. 136).
The scientific data reported and other relevant material were
evaluated, and it was determined that establishment of a temporary
tolerance will protect the public health. Therefore, the temporary
tolerance has been established on the condition that the pesticide be
used in accordance with the experimental use permit and with the
following provisions:
1. The total amount of the active ingredient to be used must not
exceed the quantity authorized by the experimental use permit.
2. Ciba must immediately notify the EPA of any findings from the
experimental use that have a bearing on safety. The company must also
keep records of production, distribution, and performance and on
request make the records available to any authorized officer or
employee of the EPA or the Food and Drug Administration.
This tolerance expires December 31, 1997. Residues not in excess of
this amount remaining in or on the raw agricultural commodity after
this expiration date will not be considered actionable if the pesticide
is legally applied during the term of, and in accordance with, the
provisions of the experimental use permit and temporary tolerance. This
tolerance may be revoked if the experimental use permit is revoked or
if any experience with or scientific data on this pesticide indicate
that such revocation is necessary to protect the public health.
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this notice from
the requirement of section 3 of Executive Order 12866.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(Pub. L. 96-354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601-612), the Administrator
has determined that regulations establishing new tolerances or raising
tolerance levels or establishing exemptions from tolerance requirements
do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. A certification statement to this effect was published
in the Federal Register of May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950).
Authority: 21 U.S.C. 346a(j).
