Amended Filings
1. PP 4F4329. DuPont Agricultural Products, PO Box 80038,
Wilmington, DE, 19880-0038 has submitted a petition to EPA that
proposes conversion of tolerances for fenvalerate (40 CFR 180.379) to
esfenvalerate (S-alpha-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl S-4-chloro- alpha-
(1-methylethyl)benzecate) tolerances. The original notice of filing was
published in the Federal Register on July 13, 1994 (59 FR 35719). The
following are amendments to that filing:
a. The following raw agricultural commodities (RAC) (current
fenvalerate tolerance followed by proposed esfenvalerate tolerance in
parts per million) were not included in the original filing: meat, meat
fat, and meat-by-products of cattle, hogs, horses, goats, and sheep at
1.5, 1.5; milk 0.3, 0.3; milk fat 7.0, 7.0.
b. DuPont also proposes esfenvalerte tolerances (in parts per
million) for the following RAC's that never had established fenvalerate
tolerances: soybean forage 10 and soybean hay 15.
c. The RAC turnip roots is amended to: ``turnip roots 0.5, 0.5''.
The RAC radish tops was omitted and should be added as follows:
``radish tops 8.0, 3.0.''
d. The word ``walnuts'' was omitted and should be added as follows:
``English walnuts 0.2, 0.2.''
e. The following tolerance with regional registration (current
fenvalerate tolerance followed by proposed esfenvalerate tolerance) is
proposed: Okra 0.1, 0.1.
Initial Filings
1. FAP 6H5750. DuPont Agricultural Products, P.O. Box 80038,
Wilmington, DE 19880-0038 submitted on January 26, 1994 a petition (PP
4F4329) for the conversion of tolerances for fenvalerate (40 CFR
180.379) to esfenvalerate (S-alpha-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl S-4-
chloro-alpha-(1-methylethyl)benzecate). On March 9, 1994 DuPont also
proposed to amend 40 CFR 186.1300 by converting feed additive
tolerances from fenvalerate to esfenvalerate. This petition was amended
February 28, 1995 to propose a tolerance of 4 ppm for wet apple pomace
and on March 8, 1996 to propose a tolerance of 0.5 ppm on soybean hulls.
2. PP 4F3003. Shell Oil Co., Suite 200, 1025 Connecticut Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC 20036, submitted on November 29, 1983 a pesticide
petition to EPA that proposed to amend 40 CFR 180.379 by establishing
tolerances for residues of the insecticide fenvalerate (cyano(3-
phenoxyphenyl)methyl S-4-chloro-alpha-(1- methylethyl)benzecate)) for
sorghum and poultry. These proposed tolerances were published in the
Federal Register of January 4, 1984 (49 FR 503). On November 3, 1989,
DuPont Agricultural Products, P.O. Box 80038, Wilmington, DE, 19880-
0038 amended the petition by switching the proposed tolerances from
fenvalerate to esfenvalerate (S-alpha- cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl S-
4-chloro-alpha-(1- methylethyl)benzecate). On December 10, 1991 DuPont
Agricultural Products amended the petition for esfenvalerate by
changing the tolerance in/on the following food commodities: sorghum
grain 5 ppm (parts per million), sorghum forage 10 ppm, sorghum fodder
10 ppm, whole eggs 0.03 ppm, poultry meat 0.03, poultry fat 0.3 ppm,
poultry meat by-products 0.3 ppm, poultry liver 0.03 ppm.
2. FAP 4H5419. Shell Oil Co., Suite 200, 1025 Connecticut Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC 20036, submitted on November 29, 1983 a food
additive petition to EPA that proposed tolerances for sorghum milling
products. FAP 4H5419 will be withdrawn because the Agency is no longer
requiring tolerances for sorghum milled products.
