## Abstract

EPA is withdrawing final rules revoking 17 processed food tolerances. The Agency is withdrawing these revocations because they were based on two provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that no longer are applicable to pesticide residues in food, specifically the Delaney clause and the ``ready-to-eat'' provision. Since the enactment of the Food Quality Protection Act, the basis for these revocations no longer exists as a matter of law. Accordingly, EPA is withdrawing these final rules.
