Addendum
The following communication, dated 21 August 2001, has been received from the
United States.
_______________
2-Propenoic Acid, Sodium Salt, Polymer with 2-Propenamide;  Tolerance  Exemption
This Environmental Protection Agency (final rule) regulation establishes an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, sodium salt, polymer with
2-propenamide (which is also known as acrylami de-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 ame nded by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996
(FQPA) 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, sodium salt, polymer
with 2-propenamide.
This regulation is effective 15 August 2001.  Objections and requests for hearings must be
received by EPA on or before 15 October 2001.
The full text of this addendum (final rule), in cluding instructions for submitting objections,
detailed instructions for commenting and requests for hearing, is available from the address below:
