RIN 2070-AD49
Exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for residues of plant virus
coat proteins that are part of a plant-incorporated protectant
(PVC-Proteins); Supplemental proposal
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to exempt from the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408 requirement of a tolerance,
residues of coat proteins from viruses that naturally infect
plants that humans
consume when such coat proteins are produced in living plants as
part of a plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) and the criteria
proposed for this exemption are met. EPA believes there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to such residues, including all anticipated dietary
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable
information. This proposed exemption would eliminate the
need to establish a maximum permissible level in food for these
residues.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 17, 2007.
