Bayer Corporation
PP 0F6084
In the Federal Register of March 1, 2000 (65 FR 11052) (FRL-6489-
9), EPA published a Notice of Filing of a Pesticide Petition (PP
0F6084) from Bayer Corporation, 8400 Hawthorn Road, P.O. Box 4913,
Kansas City, MO 64120-0013, proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of
the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing
tolerances for residues of cyfluthrin, cyano (4-fluoro-3-
phenoxyphenyl)methyl-3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethyl cyclopropane
carboxylate, in or on the raw agricultural commodity mustard greens,
greens at 7.0 parts per million (ppm); lettuce, leaf at 3.0 ppm;
lettuce, head at 2.0 ppm; and Head and Stem Brassica (Subgroup 5A) at
2.0 ppm. EPA has received an amendment to pesticide petition 0F6084
from Bayer Corporation, increasing the proposed tolerance for Head and
Stem Brassica (Subgroup 5A) to 2.5 ppm. The proposed tolerances for
mustard greens, leaf lettuce and head lettuce remain unchanged. EPA has
determined that the amended petition contains data or information
regarding the elements set forth in section 408(d)(2) of the FFDCA;
however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted
data at this time or whether the data support granting of the
[[Page 36598]]
petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the
petition.
Summary information on cyfluthrin residue chemistry, toxicological
profile, aggregate exposure, cumulative effects, safety determination
and international tolerances was published in the original Notice of
Filing of Pesticide Petition 0F6084 (65 FR 11052, March 1, 2000) and
most recently in the Federal Register of May 17, 2001 (66 FR 27465)
