               Subpart E--Procedures for Filing Petitions
 
Sec. 177.92  Amendments or supplements to petitions.

    After a notice of a petition has been published, the petitioner may 
submit additional information or data in support of the petition, or may 
amend the petition. Any such submission or amendment shall be 
accompanied by an informative summary of its contents that may be 
published in the Federal Register. The Administrator shall publish a 
notice in the Federal Register to supplement the notice published under 
Sec. 177.88 if:
    (a) The petitioner seeks to amend the petition by:
    (1) Increasing a requested tolerance, by identifying any additional 
food additive or additional pesticide residues to which the requested 
food additive regulation would apply.
    (2) Identifying any additional processed food to which the requested 
food additive regulation would apply.
    (3) Changing the method for detecting or measuring pesticide 
residues to be used for enforcement purposes.
    (b) The Administrator finds that publication of such a notice 
otherwise would be in the public interest.
