Benomyl, Trifluralin, Mancozeb, and Phosmet; Revocation of Certain Food Additive Regulations

Resumo

EPA is responding to objections and hearing and stay requests filed in response to a final rule revoking certain food additive regulations (tolerances) under section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. EPA is denying the objections and hearing and stay requests on the following section 409 tolerances: (1) Benomyl--raisins and processed tomato products; (2) trifluralin--peppermint and spearmint oil; (3) mancozeb--bran of wheat; and (4) phosmet--cottonseed oil. The denial of the objections and hearing and stay requests effect the removal of corresponding sections from the Code of Federal Regulations.
