Subpart C_Specific Tolerances

Sec. 180.199 Inorganic bromides resulting from soil treatment with
combinations of chloropicrin, methyl bromide, and propargyl bromide;
tolerances for residues.
(a) Tolerances are established for residues of inorganic bromides
(calculated as Br) in or on the following raw agricultural commodities
grown in soil fumigated with combinations of chlor o pic rin, meth yl
bro mide, and pro par gyl bro mide. No tolerances are established for
chlor o pic rin since it has been established that no residue of this
substance remains in the raw agricultural commodity.

Broccoli 25
Cauliflower 25
Eggplant 60
Muskmelon 40
Pepper 25
Pineapple
25
Strawberry 25
Tomato 40
(b) Tolerances with regional registration, as defined in Sec.
180.1(n), are established for residues of inorganic bromides (calculated
as Br) in or on the following raw agricultural commodities grown in soil
fumigated with combinations of chloropicrin, methyl bromide, and
propargyl bromide:
Commodity PPM
Asparagus 300
Lettuce 300
Onion, dry bulb 300
(c) A tolerance with regional registration, as defined in Sec.
180.1(n), is established for residues of inorganic bromides (calculated
as Br) in or on the following raw agricultural commodity grown in soil
fumigated with combinations of methyl bromide and chlor o pic rin. No
tolerance is established for chlor o pic rin since it has been
established that no residue of this substance remains in the raw
agricultural commodity when formulations containing chlor o pic rin at 2
percent or less are used.
Commodity PPM
Ginger, roots, postharvest 100

IN FOOD--Table of Contents

Subpart C_Specific Tolerances

Sec. 180.519 Bromide ion and residual bromine; tolerances for residues.
(a) General. The food additives, bromide ion and residual bromine, may be present in potable water in accordance with the following conditions:

(1) The food additives are present as a result of treating water aboard ships with a polybrominated ion-exchange resin (as a source of bromine) under the supervision of trained personnel.

(2) Residual bromine levels are controlled to not exceed 1.0 part per million (ppm) in the final treated water. Control is effected using calibrated recirculating or proportioning bromine feeder equipment and periodic checks of residual bromine using a bromine test kit. To assure safe use of the additives, the label and labeling of the disinfectant
formulation containing the food additives shall conform to the label and labeling registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

(3) No tolerance is established for bromide ion levels.

(b) Section 18 emergency exemptions. [Reserved]
(c) Tolerances with regional registrations. [Reserved]
(d) Indirect or inadvertent residues. [Reserved]
