Pepino Mosaic Virus, Strain LP, Isolate VX1 and Pepino Mosaic Virus, Strain CH2, Isolate VC1; Exemptions From the Requirement of a Tolerance

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

This regulation establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Pepino mosaic virus, strain LP, isolate VX1 and Pepino mosaic virus, strain CH2, isolate VC1 in or on all food commodities when used in accordance with label directions and good agricultural practices. Valto BV submitted a petition to the EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting these exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of Pepino mosaic virus, strain LP, isolate VX1 and Pepino mosaic virus, strain CH2, isolate VC1 under FFDCA when used in accordance with these exemptions.

This regulation is effective June 24, 2025. Objections and requests for hearings must be received on or before August 25, 2025 and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ).
