Abbott Laboratories; Establishment of a Temporary Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA has established a temporary tolerance for residues of the
plant growth regulator, (S)-trans-2-Amino-4-(2-aminoethoxy)-3-butenoic
acid hydrochloride in or on the raw agricultural commodity apples at
0.075 parts per million (ppm).
DATES: This temporary tolerance expires June 1, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Abbott Laboratories, 1401 Sheridan Road,
North Chicago, IL 60064-4000, has requested in pesticide petition (PP)
4G4347, the establishment of a temporary tolerance for residues of the
plant growth regulator, (S)-trans-2-Amino-4-(2-aminoethoxy)-3-butenoic
acid hydrochloride in or on the raw agricultural commodity apples at
0.075 parts 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 275-EUP-
80, 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 the 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. Abbott Laboratories, 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 June 1, 1996. 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).
