This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910 for residues of ferric citrate (CAS Reg. No. 2338-05-8) in or on raw agricultural commodities when applied/ used as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations. The Shepherd Chemical 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, requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of ferric citrate.
