ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 174
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0101; FRL-8428-7]
Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1A.105 Protein; Time Limited Exemption
From the Requirement of a Tolerance; Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule, correction.
SUMMARY: On May 20, 2009 EPA published a Final Rule that
established an 18-month, time-limited exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of the Bacillus
thuringiensis Cry1A.105 protein in or on the food and feed
commodities cotton seed, cotton seed oil, cotton seed meal,
cotton hay, cotton hulls, cotton forage and cotton gin
byproducts when used as a plant-incorporated protectant.
Subsequent to the publication of the May 20, 2009 Final Rule,
the Agency identified an error in the Analytical Methods section
of that Rule's preamble. Through this action, EPA is
republishing the tolerance exemption with a new effective date
and opportunity to request a hearing, and a corrected Analytical
Methods section. The conditions of the time-limited tolerance
exemption as established on May 20, 2009 are unchanged: the
time-limited tolerance exemption expires and is revoked on
November 22, 2010.
DATES: This regulation is effective August 7, 2009. Objections
and requests for hearings must be received on or before October
6, 2009 and must be filed in accordance with the instructions
provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
