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
PP 5F4426. Rhone-Poulenc AG Co., P.O. Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes amending 40 CFR part 180 by establishing tolerances for fipronil (5-amino-1-(2,6- dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-[(1R,S)- (trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile) or its metabolites MB46136 (5-amino-1-[2,6-dichloro-4- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]-1H-pyrazole-3- carbonitrile) or MB45950 (5-amino-1-[2,6-dichloro-4- (trilfuoromethyl)phenyl)-4-[(trifluoromethyl)thio]-1H-pyrazole-3- carbonitrile) in or on corn, grain at 0.02 part per million (ppm), corn, fodder at 0.15 ppm, and corn, forage at 0.15 ppm; poultry eggs, liver, and muscle at 0.02 ppm and skin/fat at 0.03 ppm; dairy cow milk, liver, kidney, and muscle at 0.02 ppm, and fat at 0.08 ppm. (PM-10)
PP 5F4485 FMC Corp., 1735 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19103, proposes amending 40 CFR 180.442 by establishing a regulation permitting residues of bifenthrin (2-methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)methyl- 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate) in or on strawberries at 3.0 ppm. A tolerance for bifenthrin on strawberries and other agricultural commodities was proposed in a previous notice that appeared in the Federal Register of November 19, 1986 (51 FR 41828), but the commodity strawberries is hereby separated from that notice and placed in this filing. (PM-13)
PP 6F3454. FMC Corp., 1735 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19103, proposes amending 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation permitting residues of bifenthrin (2-methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl)methyl- 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate) in or on various agricultural commodities; among those was strawberries with a proposed tolerance of 3.0 ppm. PP 5F4485 appearing elsewhere in this document under ``initial filings'' separates strawberries from PP 6F3454. (PM-13)
