## Abstract

EPA is taking direct final rule action to add a new section which lists the pesticide chemicals that are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance because they meet the criteria established by the Agency to identify certain polymers that are of low risk. This section contains those polymers whose tolerance exemptions were established post-Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996 and are based on the polymer's meeting the criteria described in 40 CFR 723.250. The Agency is acting on its own initiative.
