Addendum
 
  
 The following communication, dated 10 March 2004, is being circulated at the request of the 
Delegation of the United States

_______________ 
 Products using Gellan Gum
 
  In the Federal Register of 16 July 2003 (68 FR 42026) (FRL-7317-4)(G/SPS/N/USA/773), 
EPA issued a notice announcing the filing of a p esticide tolerance petition (PP 3E6567).  The petition 
requested an exemption from the requirement of  a tolerance for residues of gellan gum (CAS 
No. 71010-52-1). T here were no comments received in response to the notice of filing.  
 This Addendum notifies the EPA regula tion establishing an exemption from the 
requirement of a tolerance for residues of gellan gum when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide 
product.  This regulation eliminates the need to est ablish a maximum permissible level for residues of 
gellan gum. 
  This regulation is effective 3 March 2004.  Objections and requests for hearings, identified 
by docket ID number OPP-2004-0003, must be received on or before3 May 2004. 
 
The full text of this addendum (final rule) can be found at the address below.
