                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 176--TIME-LIMITED TOLERANCES FOR EMERGENCY EXEMPTIONS--Table of 
Contents
 
Sec. 176.7   Information needed to establish a tolerance.

    (a) EPA will establish a time-limited tolerance only if EPA can 
determine that the tolerance is safe, that is, there is a reasonable 
certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the 
pesticide chemical residue. EPA will base its determination upon data 
submitted by the applicant and other readily available data. If, taking 
into account the limited duration and emergency nature of a section 18 
application, and based on the available data the Agency cannot conclude 
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from the 
use proposed by the applicant or granted pursuant to a crisis exemption, 
EPA will not establish a tolerance.
    (b) Data and other relevant information to support the establishment 
of a time-limited tolerance may be submitted by the applicant, or by any 
other person, in support of the time-limited tolerance. The applicant 
may also cite relevant data previously submitted to the Agency.
