NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 7 August 2002, has been received from the
United States.
_______________
Methyl Anthranilate; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
This Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation establishes an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of methyl anthranilate on all food commodities when
applied/used in accordance with good agricultural practices.  The petitioner submitted a petition toEPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality
Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.  This
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of methyl
anthranilate.
This regulation is effective 7 August 2002.  Objections and requests for hearings must be
received on or before 7 October 2002.  The full text of this addendum (final rule), includinginstructions for submitting objections and requests for hearings, is available from the address below.
