Vinclozolin;  Tolerance Revocations and Notice of Channels of Trade Provision Guidance
This Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule revises the tolerances listed in the
regulatory text for the fungicide vinclozolin (40 CFR 180.380) by revoking the tolerances in or on
strawberries, stone fruits, cucumbers, and bell peppers. The Environmental Protection Agency
previously published a notice proposing to revoke these four tolerances, subject to public comment, inthe Federal Register on July 10, 2001 (notified as G/SPS/N/USA/464). The regu latory actions in this
document are part of the Agency's reregistration program under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the tolerance reassessment requirements of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in a related notice
published else where in the same issue of the Federal Register is announcing the availability of a
guidance document presenting FDA's policy on its planned enforcement approach for foods
containing vinclozolin residues. This guidance will assist firms in understanding the types of showingunder 408(1)(5) of the FFDCA (hereinafter referred to  as the channels of trade provision) that FDA
may find satisfactory in accordance with its planned enforcement approach for such section. EPA and
FDA are cooperating on this effort.
This final rule is effective 12 June 2002.  Objections and requests for hearings must be
received by EPA on or before 12 August 2002.  The full text of this addendum (final rule), including
instructions for submitting objections and requests for hearings, is available from the address below.
