Addendum
The following communication by the United States is being circulated:
_______________
Indian Meal Moth Granulosis Virus;  Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
This Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation (final rule) establishes an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of  the Indian Meal Moth Granulosis Virus on dried
fruits and nuts when applied/used as a microbial pesticide to control the Indian Meal Moth (Plodia
interpunctella).  The petitioner submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, andCosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA), requesting
an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance (earlier notified as G/SPS/N/USA/306).  This
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Indian Meal
Moth Granulosis Virus (IMMGV).
This regulation is effective 9 January 2002.  Objections and requests for hearings must be received by
EPA on or before 11 March 2002.
The full text of this addendum (final rule), incl uding instructions for submitting objections and
requests for hearings, is available from the address below.
