## Abstract

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of sodium N-oleoyl-N-methyl taurine (MOTS), (CAS Reg. No. 137-20-2), herein referred to in this document as MOTS, when used as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations for pre- harvest and post-harvest uses under 40 CFR 180.910, as well as for application to animals under 40 CFR 180.930. The Joint Inerts Task Force (JITF), Cluster Support Team (CST 24), submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of MOTS.
