herbicide sulfentrazone in or on the raw agricultural commodity
soybeans at 0.05 part per million (ppm).
DATES: This temporary tolerance expires January 1, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMC Corporation, Agricultural Chemical
Group, 1735 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19103, has requested in
pesticide petition (PP) 3G4272, the establishment of a temporary
tolerance for residues of the herbicide sulfentrazone N-[2,4-dichloro-
5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-
yl]phenyl]methanesulfonamide in or on the raw agricultural commodity
soybeans at 0.05 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
permits 279-EUP-131, and 279-EUP-134, which are 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 permits 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 permits.
2. FMC Corparoation must immediately notify the EPA of any findings
from the experimental uses 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 January 1, 1997. Residues not in excess of
this amounts 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 permits and temporary tolerance.
This tolerance may be revoked if the experimental use permits are
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).
