[EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0783; FRL-8120-5]
Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3Aa20 protein
and the genetic material necessary for its production in corn;
temporary exemption from the requirement of a tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes a temporary exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Bacillus
thuringiensis Vip3Aa20 protein and the genetic material
necessary for its production in corn when applied or/used as a
plant-incorporated protectant. Syngenta Seeds, 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 the temporary tolerance exemption. This
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum
permissible level for residues of Bacillus thuringiensis
Vip3Aa20 protein and the genetic material necessary for its
production in corn when applied or/used as a plant-incorporated
protectant on field corn, sweet corn, and popcorn. The temporary
tolerance exemption expires on March 31, 2008.
DATES: This regulation is effective April 4, 2007.
