[[Page 27506]] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received pesticide
petitions and food/feed additive petitions as follows proposing the
amendment of regulations for residues of certain pesticide chemicals in
or on various agricultural commodities.
Initial Filings
1. PP 5F4440. Valent U.S.A. Corp., 1333 North California Blvd.,
Suite 600, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, proposes amending 40 CFR 180.458 by
establishing tolerances for the combined residues of the herbicide
clethodim ((E)-()-2-[1-[[(3-chloro-2-propenyl)oxy] imino]
propyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propenyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one) and its
metabolites containing the 2-cyclohexen-1-one moiety in or on the raw
agricultural commodities alfalfa, forage at 10 ppm; alfalfa, hay at 15
ppm; dry bean, seeds at 2 ppm; dry bean, forage at 5 ppm; dry bean,
straw/hay at 7 ppm; peanut, nut meat at 3 ppm; peanut, hulls at 2 ppm;
peanut, hay at 5 ppm. Proposed analytical method for determining
residues is a compound-specific method (liquid chromatography (HPLC/
UV)) or a common moiety method (gas chromatography with sulfur
detector). (PM-23)
2. PP 5F4454. E.I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Agricultural Products,
Walkers Mill, Barley Mill Plaza, P.O. Box 80038, Wilmington, DE 19880-
0038, proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation to
permit residues of chlorimuron ethyl (ethyl-2- [[[[(4-chloro -6-
methoxpyrimidin -2yl) amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl]bensoate) in or
on the raw agricultural commodities corn (field/grain); corn, (field/
forage); and corn (field/fodder) at 0.05 ppm. The analytical
enforcement method is column surtehony (heart cut) liquid
chromatography (HPLC/UV). (PM-25)
3. PP 5F4469. American Cyanamid Co., P.O. Box 400, Princeton, NJ
08543, proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation
to permit combined residues of the herbicide prosulfuron, 1-(4-methoxy-
6-methyl-triazin-2-yl)-3-[2-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)-phenylsulfonyl]-
urea, on cereal grains, cereal grains forage, fodder, and straw (except
rice and wild rice) at 0.02 ppm. (PM-25)
4. FAP 5H5713. Valent U.S.A. Corp., 1333 North California Blvd.,
Suite 600, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, proposes amending 40 CFR 186.1075 by
establishing a tolerance for the combined residues of the herbicide
clethodim ((E)-()-2-[1-[[(3-chloro-2-
propenyl)oxy]imino]propyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propenyl]-3-hydroxy-2-
cyclohexen-1-one and its metabolites containing the 2-cyclohexen-1-one
moiety in or on the processed commodity peanut, meal at 10 ppm.
Proposed analytical method for determining residues is a compound-
specific method (liquid chromatography (HPLC)). (PM-23)
Amended Filing
5. PP 3F4225. In the Federal Register of October 21, 1993 (58 FR
54354), EPA issued a notice announcing that Ciba-Geigy Corp. proposed
to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation to permit
residues of triasulfuron, 3-(6-methoxy-4-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-1-
(2-chloroethoxy) phenylsulfonyl) urea in or on grass, forage at 7.0 ppm
and grass, hay at 2.0 ppm. Ciba-Geigy is amending the petition to
inlcude the establishment of a regulation permitting residues of
triasulfuron in the kidney of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at
0.5 ppm. (PM-25).
