## Abstract

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-hydroxypropyl starch (CAS Reg. No. 9049-76-7) when used as an inert ingredient (adjuvant) on growing crops only under 40 CFR 180.920. SciReg., Inc., on behalf of Bayer CropScience Biologics GmbH, submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of 2-hydroxypropyl starch when used in accordance with the terms of 40 CFR 180.920.
