This regulation establishes 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 (CAS Reg. No. 518299-31-5) when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant and related adjuvant of surfactant) on growing crops and raw agricultural commodities pre- and post-harvest limited to 25% by weight in pesticide formulations. Spring Regulatory Sciences on behalf of Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC 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.

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (24-2.5e)
EPA is proposing significant new use rules (SNURs) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for certain chemical substances that were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs) and are also subject to an Order issued by EPA pursuant to TSCA. The SNURs require persons who intend to manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or process any of these chemical substances for an activity that is proposed as a significant new use by this rulemaking to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing that activity. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the conditions of that use for that chemical substance. In addition, the manufacture or processing for the significant new use may not commence until EPA has conducted a review of the required notification, made an appropriate determination regarding that notification, and taken such actions as required by that determination.
