The Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4)] on behalf of the registrant, Dow AgroScience, LLC requested this tolerance under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). In addition, EPA is deleting certain spinosad tolerances that are no longer needed as a result of this action. Also, the term "Food commodities" replaces the commodity name "all commodities in connection with the quarantine eradication programs against exotic, non-indigenous, fruit fly species, where a separate higher tolerance in not already established" as previously listed under Sec. 180.495(b).
