SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA issued a notice, published in the Federal Register of June 8, 1994 (59 FR 29608), announcing that temporary tolerances had been established for residues of the insecticide O-[2-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-5-pyrimidinyl] O-ethyl O-(1- methylethyl)phosphorothioate in or on the raw agricultural commodities corn, sweet (K + CWHR); corn, grain, field and pop; corn, forage and fodder, field, pop, and sweet at 0.01 part per million (ppm), and for residues of the insecticide cyfluthrin Cyano-(4-fluoro-3- phenoxyphenyl)methyl-3-(2,2-dichloro-ethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate in or on these raw agricultural commodities at 0.01 ppm. These tolerances are being renewed in response to pesticide petitions (PP) 2G4048 and 2G4049, submitted by Miles Inc., Agricultural Division, P.O. Box 4913, Kansas City, MO 64120-0013.

The company has requested a 1-year renewal of the temporary tolerances for residues of the insecticides to permit the marketing of the above raw agricultural commodities when treated in accordance with the provisions of the experimental use permit 3125-EUP-202, 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 renewal of [[Page 24853]] the temporary tolerances will protect the public health. Therefore, the temporary tolerances have 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. Miles Inc., 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. These tolerances expire December 31, 1995. Residues not in excess of these amount remaining in or on the above raw agricultural commodities 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 tolerances. These tolerances 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).
