NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 7 August 2002, has been received from the
United States.
_______________
2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, polymer with ethyl 2-propenoate and methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate,
ammonium salt; Tolerance Exemption
This Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation establishes an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, polymer with ethyl2-propenoate and methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate, ammonium salt; when used as an inert ingredient in
or on growing crops, when applied to raw agricultural commodities after harvest, or to animals.  The
petitioner submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as
amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996 requesting an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance.  This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible
level for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, polymer with ethyl 2-propenoate and methyl 2-
methyl-2-propenoate, ammonium salt.
This regulation is effective 7 August 2002.  Objections and requests for hearings must be
received on or before 7 October 2002.  The full text of this addendum (final rule), including
instructions for submitting objections and requests for hearings, is available from the address below.
