oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-methoxymethyl-3-
[[Page 33414]] pyridinecaboxylic acid in or on the raw agricultural
commodity soybean seed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: American Cyanamid Company, P.O. Box 400,
Princeton, NJ 08543, has requested in pesticide petition (PP) 4G4350
the establishment of a temporary tolerance for residues of the
herbicide AC 299,263 ( )-2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-
oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-methoxymethyl-3-pyridinecaboxylic acid in or on
the raw agricultural commodity soybean seed. 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 (EUP) 241-EUP-127, 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. American Cyanamid Company, 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 April 17, 1997. Residues remaining in or on
the above 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).
