Uniroyal Chemical Co.; Amended Pesticide Petition and Amended Food Additive Petition for Triflumizole

______________________________________________________________

EPA has received from the Uniroyal Chemical Co. the filing of an amendment to pesticide petition (PP) 6F3372 and food additive petition (FAP) 6H5497 proposing to establish various tolerances for residues of the fungicide triflumizole in or on various raw agricultural commodities.

1. PP 6F3372. Proposed amending 40 CFR part 180 by establishing tolerances for the combined residues of the fungicide triflumizole, 1-(1-((4-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)imino)-2-propoxyethyl)- 1H-imidazole and its analine-containing metabolites 4-chloro- 2-trifluoromethylaniline and N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylaniline and N-(4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-propoxyacetamide, in or on the following commodities:

apples at 0.1 part per million (ppm);

cattle, fat, meat and meat byproducts (mbyp) at 0.05 ppm;

grapes at 0.3 ppm;

hogs, fat, meat and mbyp at 0.05 ppm;

milk at 0.05 ppm;

pears at 0.1 ppm;

and poultry, eggs, fat, meat and mbyp at 0.05 ppm.

The proposed method for determining residues is chromatography and mass spectroscopy.

2. FAP 6H5497. Proposed amending 21 CFR part 193 (redesignated as 40 CFR part 185) by establishing a regulation permitting the combined residues of the fungicide described in PP 6F3372 in or on the agricultural commodities as follows:

apples, dried at 3.0 parts per million (ppm);

apple pomace, dry at 1.0 ppm;

apple pomace, wet at 3.0 ppm;

grape juice at 1.0 ppm;

grape pomace, dry at 1.0 ppm;

grape pomace, wet at 4.0 ppm;

raisins at 1.0 ppm;

and raisin waste at 2.0 ppm.
