ACTION
Final Rule.
SUMMARY
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R in or on all
food commodities when used in accordance with label directions and good
agricultural practices. BASF Corporation 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 Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R
under FFDCA.
