Revocation of Food Additive Regulations for Benomyl, Mancozeb,
Phosmet, and Trifluralin
EPA is revoking certain food additive regulations
for four pesticides which were included in a 1989 petition.
The U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, has set aside the
Agency's original order denying the petition for revocation
of the food additive regulations at issue in this revised Order;
accordingly, EPA is granting the petition request to revoke
these food additive regulations.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This regulation becomes effective August 30, 1993.
In this revised Order, EPA is implementing a decision by
the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, Les v. Reilly, 968
F. 2d 985 (9th Cir. 1992), cert. denied, 113 S. Ct. 1361 (1993),
which set aside a previous EPA Order denying a petition to revoke
the following food additive regulations: trifluralin (spearmint
oil and peppermint oil), benomyl (raisins and processed tomato
products), phosmet (cottonseed oil), and mancozeb (raisins and
bran of wheat). The petition asserted that these food additive
regulations violated the Delaney Clause in section 409 of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. EPA declined to revoke
several of these food additive regulations based on EPA's view
that the Delaney Clause is subject to a de minimis exception
and that the risks posed by dietary exposure to the pesticide
residues at issue are trivial.

or on the following raw agricultural commodities: corn fodder,
corn forage, fresh corn (including sweet corn kernels plus cob
with husk removed (K+CWHR)), corn grain, rice grain, and rice

EPA is proposing to revoke tolerances for residues
of the insecticide/nematicide fensulfothion (O,O-diethyl O-[p-
(methylsulfinyl)phenyl]- phosphorothioate) in or on various

Boric Acid and its Salts, Borax (Sodium Borate Decahydrate),
Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, Boric Oxide (Boric Anhydride),

This document proposes that an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance be established for residues of boric acid and
its salts, borax (sodium borate decahydrate), disodium octaborate
tetrahydrate, boric oxide (boric anhydride), sodium borate,

agricultural practices. This proposed regulation was requested
by Bushwacker Associates, Galveston, TX. The proposed tolerance
exemption would supersede the tolerances for boron established
under 40 CFR 180.271; therefore, this document also proposes

Issuance of an Experimental Use Permit for Four Transgenic Plant
Pesticides
On April 29, 1993, EPA issued an Experimental Use Permit
(EUP) to Monsanto Company to conduct field testing of four transgenic
plant pesticides. Monsanto is testing the Colorado Potato
Beetle (CPB) control protein, delta-endotoxin, derived from
the soil microbe Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies tenebrionis
(B.t.t.), as expressed in plants and tubers of several lines
of potato cultivars. According to the application, CPB control
protein, B.t.t. delta-endotoxin, will be present at no more
than .2 percent of the total weight of the potato plants or
tubers.
Monsanto's test sites are located in the following 13 States:
Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New York,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin.
A maximum of 15,000 plants or tubers will be planted per acre,
each weighing approximately 5.6 grams per plant and 60 grams
per tuber. Some of the potato cultivar lines will contain only
the B.t.t. gene for mediating CPB resistance. Other potato cultivar
lines have been modified to contain genes mediating both CPB
and PYV or PLRV resistance. The total plant material, at planting,
will contain 129.31 grams B.t.t. protein, with levels rising
to a maximum of 39.4 kilograms of B.t.t. protein at harvest.
Likewise, the amount of viral coat protein, at planting, will
be approximately 0.005 grams of PLRV coat protein and 0.10 grams
of PVY coat protein; how much would be present at harvest is
not known, however, for the viral coat proteins.
