## Abstract

This regulation establishes a temporary exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of SoD2 and SoD7, two defensin proteins derived from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), in or on citrus when used as plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs) in accordance with the terms of Experimental Use Permit (EUP) No. 88232-EUP-1. Southern Gardens Citrus submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting the temporary tolerance exemption. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of SoD2 and SoD7 in or on citrus. The temporary tolerance exemption expires on April 18, 2018.
