## Abstract

EPA is establishing permanent tolerances for residues of the insecticide (1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2- imidazolidinimine) (also known as imidacloprid) and it metabolites in or on cottonseed and cotton gin byproducts, revoking the existing feed additive tolerance for imidacloprid on cotton meal, and establishing a maximum residue limit for imidacloprid on cottonseed meal. Bayer Corporation (formerly Miles, Inc.) submitted petitions pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requesting these regulations to establish certain maximum permissible levels for residues of the insecticide. EFFECTIVE DATE: This regulation is effective on February 15, 1996.
