## Abstract

This regulation establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of pesticide inert ingredients within the C<INF>1</INF>-C<INF>4</INF> linear and branched chain alkyl d-glucitol dianhydro alkyl ethers (AD-GDAE) cluster. These exemptions are being established with the following terms: When used as an inert ingredient (solvent, co-solvent, viscosity modifier and adjuvant) in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops and raw agricultural commodities after harvest, on animals, and in antimicrobial formulations applied to food-contact surfaces in public-eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment, and utensils, and in antimicrobial formulations used for dairy processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils. Exponent, Inc., on behalf of Croda, Inc., submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of C<INF>1</INF>- C<INF>4</INF> linear and branched chain alkyl d-glucitol dianhydro alkyl ethers cluster when used in accordance with the terms of these exemptions.
