SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rhone-Poulenc Ag Company, P.O. Box 12014,
Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, has requested in pesticide petition
(PP) 4G4414 the establishment of a temporary tolerance for residues of
the plant growth regulator cyclanilide, 1-(2,4-
dichlorophenylaminocarbonyl)-cyclopropane carboxylic acid in or on the
raw agricultural commodity cottonseed at 0.5 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 264-EUP-97 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. Rhone-Poulenc Ag Co., 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 August 14, 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).
