## Abstract

This rule establishes a temporary exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the microbial pest control agent pseudomonas fluorescens strain PRA-25 on peas, snap beans, sweet corn, supersweet corn when applied/used on vegetable seeds in the planter box immediately before planting to reduce seed rot and damping- off disease cause by Pythium spp. and root rot caused by Aphanomyces euteiches. Good Bugs, Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) (Pub. L. 104-170) requesting the temporary/time-limited tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of pseudomonas fluorescens strain PRA-25. The tolerance will expire on July 31, 2001.
