Petition to Revoke Tolerances for 13 Pesticides; Notice of Availability

摘要

EPA is announcing the availability and seeking comment on a July 23, 2009 petition from the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), requesting that EPA revoke tolerances established under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), section 408, for uses of 13 pesticides with no associated U.S. registrations. ABC claims that maintaining these tolerances allows Central and South American countries to continue using these pesticides on crops for which the United States has already determined there are unacceptable risks for U.S. protected migratory birds.
