Oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono [2-[2-(2- )butoxymethylethoxy))methylethoxyl] ether; Tolerance Exemption

Fri, Jul 18 2008 11:00:00 GMT

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of oxirane, 2methyl, polymer with oxirane, mono [2[2(2)butoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]methylethyl] ether; (CAS Reg. No. 926031369) when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation. Rhodia, Inc. c/o SciReg, Inc., submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of oxirane, 2methyl, polymer with oxirane, mono [2[2(2)butoxymethylethoxy))methylethoxy]methylethyl] ether.
