Under section 408(d) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, EPA is authorized to
establish tolerances for pesticide
residues in or on food based on a
petition from any person. Ordinarily,
EPA resolves these petitions either by
granting or denying them. (21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(4)). EPA’s regulations, however,
allow petitions to be withdrawn by the
petitioner without prejudice to refiling
the petition at a later date (40 CFR
180.8). EPA has received notifications
from various petitioners that several
petitions, cited above, have been
withdrawn, either partially or
completely. By this action, EPA is
providing the general public with notice
that the petitions have been withdrawn
by the petitioners. The petitioners may
refile these petitions in the future
without prejudice.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of each of the petitions
covered by this notice, prepared by the
petitioner, was included in a docket
EPA created for each rulemaking. The
