Exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for residues of plant virus coat proteins that are part of a plant-incorporated protectant (PVC-Proteins); Supplemental proposal

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to exempt from the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408 requirement of a tolerance, residues of coat proteins from viruses that naturally infect plants that humans
consume when such coat proteins are produced in living plants as part of a plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) and the criteria proposed for this exemption are met. EPA believes there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to such residues, including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable information. This proposed exemption would  eliminate the need to establish a maximum permissible level in food for these residues.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 17, 2007.
