        <RULE_TITLE>Pesticides; Expansion of Crop Grouping Program</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[In phases, EPA is revising the current pesticide crop grouping regulations to create new crop groupings, add new subgroups, and expand existing crop groups by adding new commodities. The current crop groupings allow EPA to establish pesticide tolerances for multiple related crops based upon data for a representative set of crops. EPA expects these revisions to promote greater use of crop grouping for tolerance-setting purposes and to facilitate the availability of pesticides for minor crop uses. The first in the series of revisions to the crop grouping regulations was finalized in December 2007, and the second phase of revisions was finalized in December 2010. For the third phase of revisions to the crop grouping regulations, the EPA is proposing to amend two additional crop groups- stone fruit group 12 and tree nut group 14.]]></ABSTRACT>
