2-Propenoic Acid, Polymer with 2-Propenamide, Sodium Salt;  Tolerance Exemption
This Environmental Protection Agency  regulation (final rule) establishes an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid,  polymer with 2-propenamide, sodium
salt (which is also known as acrylamide-sodium acrylate coplymer);  when used as an inert ingredient(a carrier) in pesticide formulations that are applied to growing crops or raw agricultural commodities
after harvest.  The petitioner 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 an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.  Th is regulation eliminates the need to establish a
maximum permissible level for residues of 2-propenoic acid, polymer with 2-propenamide, sodium
salt
This regulation is effective 15 August 2001.  Objections and requests for hearings must be
received by EPA on or before 15 October 2001.
