NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 10 July 2002, has been received from the United States.
_______________
Oxadixyl;  Tolerance Revocations
This Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) document (final rule) revokes all tolerances for
the combined residues of the fungicide oxadixyl and its desmethyl metabolite.  The regulatory 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) section 408(q ), as amended by the Food Quality Protection
Act (FQPA) of 1996.  By law, EPA is required by August 2002 to reassess 66 per cent of the
tolerances in existence on 2 August 1996, or about 6,400 tolerances.  The regulatory actions in this
document pertain to the revocation of 14 tolerances which are counted among tolerance/exemption
reassessments made toward the August 2002 review deadline.
This regulation is effective 10 July 2002; however, the tolerance revocations will not occur
until the date specified in the regulatory text.  Objections and requests for hearings must be received
by EPA on or before 9 September 2002.
The full text of this addendum (final rule), including instructions for submitting objections
and requests for hearings, is available from the address below.
