## Abstract

This regulation amends an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (CAS no. 104-76-7) to increase the maximum use level for residues from 2.5% to 10% in final pesticide formulations, when used as an inert ingredient as a cosolvent, defoamer, solvent in pesticide formulations, inert ingredients used pre- and post-harvest, and inert ingredients applied to animals. Cognis submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an amendment to the existing exemption for 2-ethyl-1-hexanol.
