Linear alkyl C12-16 propoxyamine ethoxylate; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of poly[oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)], <greek-a>-[2-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]propyl]-<greek-oh>-hydroxy,-ether with <greek-a>-hydro-<greek-oh>-hydroxypoly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) (1:2), mono-C<INF>12-16</INF> alkyl ethers (hereinafter "linear alkyl C<INF>12-16</INF> propoxyamine ethoxylate") when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant) when applied to growing crops, or to raw agricultural commodities after harvest. Huntsman Corporation submitted a petition to EPA 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 linear alkyl C<INF>12-16</INF> propoxyamine ethoxylate.
