## Abstract

This regulation amends the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of silver (excludes silver salts) in or on all foods when applied or used in public eating places, dairy processing equipment, and food-processing equipment. ETO H2O, Inc., submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requesting to establish concentration limits for silver in end-use solutions eligible for tolerance exemption. The regulation being established will exempt all foods from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of silver resulting from contact with surfaces treated with solutions in which the end-use concentration of silver is not to exceed 50 parts per million (ppm).
