The Environmental Protection Agency issued a final rule establishing an exemption from the tolerance requirement for residues of phosphatidylcholine (CAS Reg. No. 97281-47-5) when used as an inert ingredient in pesticide contraceptive formulations applied to cervid, porcine, raccoon, and bovine. The agency acted on a petition by Compliance Services International for SpayVac-for-Wildlife, Inc. The rule is effective October 2, 2026; objections or hearing requests are due December 1.
