SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received pesticide petitions as
follows proposing the establishment and/or amendment of regulations for
residues of certain pesticide chemicals in or on various raw
agricultural commodities.
Initial Filings
1. PP 6F4616. Ciba-Geigy Corporation, P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro,
NC 27419-8300 proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a
tolerance for residues of the insecticide fenoxycarb; (ethyl[2-(4-
phenoxyphenoxy)ethyl] carbamate in or on the raw agricultural
commodities fat of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 0.05 ppm,
grass forage at 0.6 ppm, grass hay 0.5 ppm, milk, meat and meat
byproducts of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 0.01 ppm. The
proposed analytical method for determining residues is column switching
high performance liquid chromatography. (PM 10)
2. FAP 6H5748. McLaughlin Gormley King Company, 8810 Tenth Avenue
North, Minneapolis, MN 55427-4372 proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by

following types of stored food commodities; fruits, meats, sugar,
vegetables, flours, candy, dairy and baked goods at 0.5 ppm. (PM 10)
3. PP 6F4735. DowElanco, 9330 Zionville Road, Indianapolis, IN

tolerance for residues of the insecticide spinosad 2-[(6-deoxy-2,3,4-
tri-O-methyl-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)oxy]-13-[[5-
(dimethylamino)tetrahydro-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-yl]oxy]-9-ethyl-
2,3,3a,5a,5b,6,9,10,11,12,13,14,,16a,16b-tetradecahydro-14-methyl-1H-
as-Indaceno[3,2-d]oxacyclododecin-7,15-dione, [2R-[2R*,3aS*,5aR*,
5bR*,9S*,13S* (2R*,5S*,6R*),14R*,16aS*, 16bR*]](9CI) and 2-[(6-deoxy-
2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)oxy]-13-[[5-
(dimethylamino)tetrahydro-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-yl]oxy]-9-ethyl-
2,3,3a,5a,5b,6,9,10,11,12,13,14,,16a,16b-tetradecahydro-4-14-dimethyl-
1H-as-Indaceno[3,2-d]oxacyxlododecin-7,15-dione, [2S-[2R*,3aS*,5aR*,
9R*,13R*(2S*,5R*,6S*), 14S*,16aR*,16bR*]](9CI) in or on the raw

meat by-products of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 0.05 ppm;
in fat of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 1.0 ppm; in milk,
fat at 1.25 ppm (reflecting 0.05 ppm in whole milk); in meat, meat
byproducts, and eggs of poultry at 0.05 ppm; and in fat of poultry at
0.10 ppm. (PM 19)
5. PP 6F4706. E.I. duPont de Nemours & Company, Agricultural
Products, P.O. Box 80038, Wilmington, DE 19880-0038, proposes to amend

(ethylsulfonyl)-2-pyridinesulfonamide, in or on the raw agricultural
commodity tomato, fruit at 0.1 ppm. The proposed analytical method for
determining residues is high performance liquid chromatography with an
Ultraviolet detefctor. (PM 25)
Amended Filings
PP 8F2128. In the Federal Register of November 7, 1978 (43 FR
53816) EPA issued a notice that the Monsanto Company, 700 14th Street,
Suite 1100, Washington, DC 200025, had proposed to amend 40 CFR 180.314
by establishing a tolerance for the combined residues of the herbicide
triallate (S-(2,3,3-trichloroallyl) diisopropylthiocarbamate) in or on
raw agricultural commodities sugarbeets, sugarbeet tops, soybeans,
soybean forage, and hay all at 0.05 ppm. In the Federal Register of
September 13, 1995 (60 FR 47579) (FRL-4975-3), EPA issued an amended
notice of filing amending the petition to propose that tolerances with
regional registration be established for triallate and its metabolites
2,3,3-trichloro-2-propene sulfonic acid and expressed as parent
equivalent in or on the raw agricultural commodities sugarbeet roots at
0.05 ppm and sugarbeet foliage at 0.5 ppm. Monsanto is amending this
petition to propose that tolerances with regional restriction be
established for residues of S-2,3,3-trichloroallyl
diisopropylthiocarbamate and its metabolite, 2,3,3,-trichloro-2-propene
sulfonic acid, expressed as parent equivalent, in or on the following
raw agricultural commodities sugarbeet roots at 0.1 ppm and sugarbeet
foliage at 0.5 ppm. Also proposed is the
[[Page 36375]]
establishment of a maximum residue limit (MRL) of 0.2 ppm for dried
sugarbeet pulp under section 701 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act for residues of S-2,3,3-trichloroallyl diisopropylthiocarbamate and
its metabolite, 2,3,3-trichloro-2-propene sulfonic acid. (PM 25)
