This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of polymerized fatty acid esters with aminoalcohol alkoxylates (PFAEAA) with a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) 1,200, limited to the chemicals listed in Unit 11 of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant) under 40 CFR 180.910 (growing crops and raw agricultural commodities after harvest) and 40 CFR 180.930 (animal application). Croda Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of PFAEAA.
