## Abstract

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of C<INF>10</INF>-C<INF>18</INF>-Alkyl dimethyl amine oxides (ADAO) when used as the inert ingredient in pesticide formulations applied to raw agricultural commodities pre- and post-harvest. Exponent on behalf of Stepan Company and Rhodia submitted petitions to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.
