§ 186.5100 - Propetamphos.  


Latest version.
  • A tolerance of 0.1 part per million is established for residues of the insecticide propetamphos ([e)-]-methylethyl 3-[[(ethylamino) methoxyphosphinothioyl]oxy]-2-butenoate]) in animal feed exposed to the insecticide during treatment of animal feed-handling establishments.

    (a) Direct application shall be limited solely to spot and/or crack and crevice treatment in feed-handling establishments where feed and feed products are held, processed, prepared, or sold. Spray and dust concentrations shall be limited to a maximum of 1 percent active ingredient. For crack and crevice treatment, equipment capable of delivering a dust or a pinstream of spray directly into cracks and crevices shall be used. For spot treatment, a coarse, low-pressure spray shall be used to avoid contamination of feed or feed-contact surfaces.

    (b) To ensure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling shall conform to that registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and labeling.
