NOTIFICATION  
 
Addendum
 
 
 
 The following communication, received on 12 A ugust 2004, is being circulated at the request 
of the delegation of the United States . 
_______________ 
 
 
Bitertanol, Chlorpropham, Cloprop, Combustion Produc t Gas, Cyanazine, et al.;  Tolerance Actions  
  This final rule revokes certain tolerances and tolerance exemptions for residues of the 
insecticides combustion product gas, ethion, fo rmetanate hydrochloride, nicotine-containing 
compounds, polyoxyethylene, and tart ar emetic; herbicides chlorpropha m, cyanazine, and tridiphane;  
fungicides 1,1,1-trichloroethane and triforine; and the plant regulators cloprop and 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol 
because these specific tolerances are either no longer needed or are associated with food uses that are 
no longer current or registered in the United States.   Also, EPA is modifying certain ethion tolerances 
before they expire. 
 
 The Environmental Protection Agency issued a proposed rule in the Federal Register of 
10 December 2003 (68 FR 68806).  Also, the 10 December 2003 proposal provided a 60-day 
comment period which invited public comment fo r consideration and for support of tolerance 
retention under the FFDCA standards.  
 This regulation is effective 21 October 2004;  however, certain regulatory actions will not 
occur until the date specified in the regulatory text .  Objections and requests for hearings, identified 
by docket ID number OPP-2004-0088 must be received on or before 21 September 2004.
