                   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.
