SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received amended pesticide petitions

for residues of certain pesticide chemicals in or on various
agricultural commodities.
Amended Filings
1. PP 2F4154. In the Federal Register of June 29, 1994 (59 FR
33504), EPA issued a notice of an amended petition filed by Rohm & Haas
Co., Independence Mall West, Philadelphia, PA 19105 (amendment to
petition filed in the Federal Register of December 30 1992 (57 FR
62334; Dec. 30, 1992)) proposing to amend 40 CFR part 180 by
establishing a regulation to permit residues of fenbuconazole and its
metabolites in or on bananas (whole fruit) at 0.3 part per million
(ppm) of which not more than 0.05 ppm is contained in banana pulp. The
amended petition is further amended to specify that the residues of
fenbuconazole and its metabolites are combined and expressed parent
equivalent to determine the total raw agricultural commodity (RAC)
residue on bananas. The Rohm & Haas Co. requests that the following
permanent tolerances be established for the total fenbuconazole
residues: bananas (whole fruit) at 0.3 ppm of which not more than 0.05
ppm is contained in banana pulp. (PM 22)
2. PP 3F4193. In the Federal Register of October 21, 1993 (58 FR
54354), EPA issued a notice that Monsanto Co., 700 14th St., NW.,
Washington, DC 20005, proposed to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing
a regulation to permit residues of Permit Herbicide (methyl 5-[(4,6-
dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino] carbonylaminosulfonyl-3-chloro-1-methyl-
1H-pyrazole-4- carboxylate, and its metabolites determined as 3-chloro-
1-methyl-5-sulfamoylpyrazole-4-carboxylic acid and expressed as parent
equivalents), in or on corn, field grain at 0.1 ppm, corn, field forage
at 0.3 ppm, corn, field fodder at 1.3 ppm, and grain sorghum (milo)
grain at 0.02 ppm (lower limit of method validation), grain sorghum
(milo) forage at 0.07 ppm, grain sorghum (milo) stover at 0.08 ppm,
grain sorghum (milo) silage at 0.14 ppm, grain sorghum (milo) hay, no
tolerance proposals. Monsanto Co. has submitted to EPA an amended
petition proposing to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a
regulation to permit residues in or on corn, field grain at 0.1 ppm,
corn, field forage at 0.3 ppm, corn, field fodder at 1.5 ppm, grain
sorghum (milo) grain at 0.1 ppm, grain sorghum (milo) forage at 0.3
ppm, grain sorghum (milo) fodder/stover at 0.1 ppm, and meat and meat
byproducts (cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep) at 0.1 ppm. The
amended petition also proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing
a regulation to permit indirect or inadvertent residues when present as
a result of application to field corn and/or grain sorghum (milo) in or
on soybean seed at 0.5 ppm, soybean forage at 0.5 ppm, soybean hay at
0.5 ppm, and wheat grain at 0.1 ppm, wheat forage at 0.1 ppm, and wheat
