Resin Acids, Esters With Glycerol in Pesticide Formulations; Exemption From the Requirement for a Tolerance

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of resin acids, esters with glycerol (CAS Reg. No. 8050-31-5) when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant) on growing crops and raw agricultural commodities pre- and post-harvest. Croda Inc. submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of resin acids, esters with glycerol when used in accordance with the terms of the exemption.

No-Migration Variance From Land Disposal Restrictions for Clean Harbors Grassy Mountain, Utah

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving with conditions, no-migration variances for four categories/groups of wastes, containing up to a combined 250 temporary disposal units ("put piles") at any one time, from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) standards at Clean Harbors' Grassy Mountain (Clean Harbors) commercial treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF) in Tooele County, Utah. These variances will allow Clean Harbors to temporarily store treated hazardous wastes that are awaiting LDR compliance verification in put piles within its Subtitle C (hazardous waste) landfill. The petitioner demonstrated, to a reasonable degree of certainty, that there will be no migration of hazardous constituents from the put piles for as long as the wastes remain hazardous. Additionally, once LDR compliance is verified, the put piles will be disposed within the onsite RCRA hazardous waste landfill cell and will be subject to the conditions set out in the Compliance Monitoring Plan section of this document.

Nutritional Quality Guidelines for Foods

21 CFR Part 104 establishes nutritional quality guidelines for foods, prescribing minimum nutrient levels for food classes. Products complying with guidelines may use a government-approved statement on labeling. The regulation prohibits misleading claims about nutritional differences and requires prominent declarations when nutrients are added at inappropriate levels or in excess of guideline maximums. It establishes uniform fortification principles to maintain desirable nutritional quality in the food supply while preventing random fortification that could cause nutrient imbalances.
