{"abstract":"The Agency is proposing to establish 16 new and amend three existing exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of various ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) chemicals in or on raw agricultural commodities when used as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops or to raw agricultural commodities after harvest under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of these EDTA chemicals.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2006/03/08/06-2106.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":180,"title":40}],"citation":"71 FR 11563","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2006-05-08","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments, identified by docket identification (ID) number EPA- HQ-OPP-2005-0325, must be received on or before May 8, 2006.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0325","FRL-7750-8"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"06-2106","effective_on":null,"end_page":11570,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2006/03/08/06-2106.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/03/08/06-2106/ethylenediaminetetraacetic-acid-chemicals-exemptions-from-the-requirement-of-a-tolerance","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/06-2106?publication_date=2006-03-08","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2006-03-08/06-2106/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":8,"page_views":{"count":1336,"last_updated":"2026-10-22 20:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-03-08/pdf/06-2106.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2006-03-08","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2006/03/08/06-2106.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T18:46:00Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":11563,"subtype":null,"title":"Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid Chemicals: Exemptions from the Requirement of a Tolerance","toc_doc":"Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid chemicals","toc_subject":"Pesticides; tolerances in food, animal feeds, and raw agricultural commodities:","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Agricultural commodities","Environmental protection","Pesticides and pests","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":71}
