[alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) Polymers Where the Alkyl Chain Contains a Minimum of Six Carbons, and [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers Where the Alkyl Chain Contains a Minimum of Six Carbons and a Minimum Number Average Molecular Weight (in amu) 1,100; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons, and [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]- hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons and a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 herein referred to as "AAAs" (alkyl alcohol alkoxylates) to include Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number (CAS Reg. No.) 116810-31-2 when used as an inert ingredient as a surfactant in pesticide formulations, under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940a, and 180.960, in growing crops without limitations. Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an amendment to an existing requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of AAAs.
