(a) An exemption from a tolerance shall be granted when it appears that the total quantity of the pesticide chemical in or on all raw agricultural commodities for which it is useful under conditions of use currently prevailing or proposed will involve no hazard to the public health.
(b) When applied to growing crops, in accordance with good agricultural practice, the following pesticide chemicals are exempt from the requirement of a tolerance:
(1) [Reserved]
(2) N-Octylbicyclo(2,2,1)-5-heptene-2,3-dicarboximide.
(3) Petroleum oils.
(4) Piperonyl butoxide.
(5) [Reserved]
(6) Pyrethrum and pyrethrins.
(7) Rotenone or derris or cube roots.
(8) Sabadilla.
These pesticides are not exempted from the requirement of a tolerance when applied to a crop at the time of or after harvest.
(c) Residues of the following materials are exempted from the requirement of a tolerance when used in accordance with good agricultural practice as inert (or occasionally active) ingredients in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops or to raw agricultural commodities after harvest:
