　　This regulation establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of pesticide inert ingredients within the C1-C4 linear and branched chain alkyl d-glucitol dianhydro alkyl ethers （AD-GDAE） cluster. These exemptions are being established with the following terms: When used as an inert ingredient （solvent, co-solvent, viscosity modifier and adjuvant） in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops and raw agricultural commodities after harvest, on animals, and in antimicrobial formulations applied to food-contact surfaces in public-eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment, and utensils, and in antimicrobial formulations used for dairy processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils. Exponent, Inc., on behalf of 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 C1-C4 linear and branched chain alkyl d-glucitol dianhydro alkyl ethers cluster when used in accordance with the terms of these exemptions.
