§ 185.4950 - Pirimiphos-methyl.

(a) Tolerances are established for the combined residues of the insecticide pirimiphos-methyl (O-[2-diethylamino-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl] O,O-dimethyl phosphorothioate) and its metabolite O-(2-ethylamino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl) O,O-dimethyl phosphorothioate and, in free and conjugated forms, the metabolites 2-diethylamino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol, 2-ethylamino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol, and 2-amino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol in or on the following processed foods when present therein as a result of application to stored grains:

(b) A food additive tolerance of 8.0 parts per million is established for residues of the insecticide pirimiphos-methyl (0-[2-diethylamino-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl]0,0-dimethyl phos-phorothioate) and its metabolite 0-(2-ethyl-amino-6-methyl-py-rim-i-dine-4-yl)0,0-dimethyl-phosphoro-thioate and, in free and conjugated forms, the metabolites 2-diethyl-amino-6-methyl-py-rim-i-din-4-ol,2-ethyl-amino-6-methyl-py-rim-i-din-4-ol, and 2-amino-6-methyl-py-rim-i-din-4-ol in or on the processed commodity wheat flour as a result of application to stored wheat grain. There are no United States registrations for use of pirimiphos-methyl on wheat, as of June 12, 1990.
