Abstract

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the polymers methyl methacrylate- methacrylic acid-monomethoxypolyethylene glycol methacrylate copolymer minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) 2,730, also known as acrylic graft copolymer; 12-hydroxystearic acid-polyethylene glycol copolymer minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) 3,690, also known as polyester block copolymer; and polyethylene glycol- polyisobutenyl anhydride-tall oil fatty acid copolymer also known as polyester random copolymer minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) 2,960, in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops or to raw agricultural commodities after harvest, or animals. Uniqema, formerly ICI Surfactants, 3411 Silverside Road, Box 8340 Wilmington, DE 19803, submitted petitions to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 requesting exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for these copolymers. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of these polymers.
