## Abstract

This regulation establishes a temporary exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), also known as phospholipid and lyso-PE on blueberries, cherries, peppers when applied/used to enhance ripening and shelf life. Nutra-Park Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 requesting the temporary tolerance exemption. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of LPE. The temporary tolerance exemption will expire on June 1, 2003.
