Bacillus Thuringensis Cry1B.868 and Cry1Da_7 Proteins; Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of the Bacillus thuringensis Cry1B.868 and
Cry1Da_7 proteins (hereafter Cry1B.868 and Cry1Da_7) when used as a
Plant-Incorporated Protectant (PIP) in or on the food and feed
commodities of corn: corn, field; corn, sweet, and corn, pop. Bayer
U.S.--Crop Science submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Cry1B.868 and
Cry1Da_7 proteins.
DATES: This regulation is effective May 17, 2024. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before July 16, 2024, and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
