AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA has renewed a temporary tolerance for the combined
residues of the insecticide Deltamethrin and its metabolites in or on
the raw agricultural commodity cottonseed at 0.02 part per million
(ppm).
DATES: This temporary tolerance expires June 1, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: By mail: George LaRocca, -Product
Manager (PM) 13, Registration Division (7505C), Office of Pesticide

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the
Federal Register of November 24, 1993 (58 FR 62122), stating that a
temporary tolerance had been established for the combined residues of
the insecticide Deltamethrin (1R,3R)-3 (2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-
dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (s)--cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl
ester and its metabolite, trans-deltamethrin: (1S,3R)-3 (2,2-
dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-carboxylic acid (S)-alpha-cyano-
3-phenoxybenzyl ester and alpha-R-deltamethrin: (1R,3R)-3 (2,2-
dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-carboxylic acid (R)-alpha-cyano-
3-phenoxybenzyl ester in or on the raw agricultural commodity
cottonseed at 0.02 part per million (ppm). This tolerance is renewed in
response to pesticide petition (PP) 0G3916, submitted by Hoechst-
Roussel Agri-Vet Co., Route 202-206, P.O. Box 2500, Somerville, NJ
08876-1258.
The company has requested a 1-year renewal of a temporary tolerance
for residues of the insecticide to permit the continued marketing of
the above raw agricultural commodity when treated in accordance with
the provisions of the experimental use permit 34147-EUP-3, which is
being renewed under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) as amended (Pub. L. 95-396, 92 Stat. 819; 7 U.S.C. 136).
The scientific data reported and other relevant material were
evaluated, and it was determined that a renewal of the temporary
tolerance will protect the public health. Therefore, the temporary
tolerance has been renewed on the condition that the pesticide be used
in accordance with the experimental use permit and with the following
provisions:
1. The total amount of the active ingredient to be used must not
exceed the quantity authorized by the experimental use permit.
2. Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet Co., must immediately notify the EPA of
any findings from the experimental use that have a bearing on safety.
The company must also keep records of production, distribution, and
performance and on request make the records available to any authorized
officer or employee of the EPA or the Food and Drug Administration.
This tolerance expires June 1, 1995. Residues not in excess of this
amount remaining in or on the above raw agricultural commodity after
this expiration date will not be considered actionable if the pesticide
is legally applied during the term of, and in accordance with, the
provisions of the experimental use permit and temporary tolerance. This
tolerance may be revoked if the experimental use permit is revoked or
if any experience with or scientific data on this pesticide indicate
that such revocation is necessary to protect the public health.
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this notice from
the requirements of section 3 of Executive Order 12866.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(Pub. L. 96-354, 94 Stat. 1164, 5 U.S.C. 601-612), the Administrator
has determined that regulations establishing new tolerances or raising
tolerance levels or establishing exemptions from tolerance requirements
do not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. A certification statement to this effect was published
in the Federal Register of May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950).
Authority: 21 U.S.C. 346a(j).
