## Abstract

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of red cabbage color when used as an inert ingredient (visual pH indicator) in pesticide formulations applied in or on certain various food commodities. Colarome Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996, requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of red cabbage color.
