What it does

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain AT-332 in or on all food and feed commodities when used in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), Gowan Company, in cooperation with SDS Biotech K.K., c/o Landis International, Inc., submitted a petition to EPA requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of this pesticide when used in accordance with the terms of the exemption.
