This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of zinc stearate (CAS No. 557-05-1) when used as an inert ingredient (lubricant) in pesticide formulations at rates of no more than 6 percent by weight of the formulation in pre- and post-harvest applications to crops. Pyxis Regulatory Consulting, Inc., on behalf of UPL NA Inc., submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of zinc stearate (CAS No. 557-05-1) on food or feed commodities when used in accordance with this exemption.
