(USA) LLC, (12120 Wickchester Lane,
Houston, TX 77224), requests to amend
an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of fatty acids,
C16–18 and C18–unsatd., esters with
polyethylene glycol mono-Me ether

its use as an inert ingredient (surfactant
and related adjuvants of surfactants)
limited to 25% by weight in pesticide
formulations under 40 CFR 180.910.
The petitioner believes no analytical
method is needed because it is not
required for an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance. Contact: RD.

(T&M/LH) to include separate labor
hour rates for subcontractors and a
description of the method that will be
