Abstract

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Bacillus thuringiensis Cry 1A.105 protein in or on corn when used as a plant-incorporated protectant in the food and feed commodities of corn; corn, field; corn, sweet; and corn, pop. Monsanto Company 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), requesting to amend the existing temporary tolerance in 40 CFR 174.502 for the Bacillus thuringiensis Cry 1A.105 protein to establish a permanent exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Bacillus thuringiensis Cry 1A.105 protein in or on all food commodities when used as a plant- incorporated protectant in all food commodities. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of the Bacillus thuringiensis Cry 1A.105 insecticidal protein in or on the food and feed commodities of corn; corn, field; corn, sweet; and corn, pop.
