This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of carbon black (CAS Reg. No. 1333-86-4) under 40 CFR 180.920 when used as an inert ingredient (colorant) in pesticide formulations applied to seeds used to grow agricultural and horticultural crops. Becker Underwood, Inc. 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 carbon black.
