SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received an initial filing of a 
food/feed additive petition, amended filings and withdrawals of 
petitions, and a correction to a previously issued petition as follows:

Initial Filing

    1. FAP 4H5683. E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Agricultural 
Products, P.O. Box 80038, Wilmington, DE 19880-0038, has submitted the 
food/feed additive petition proposing to amend 40 CFR parts 185 and 186 
to establish food/feed additive tolerances for residues of the 
herbicide hexazinone, 3-cyclohexyl-6-(dimetylamino)-1-methyl-1,3,5-
triazine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione, as follows: food additive tolerance for 
sugarcane molasses at 5 parts per million (ppm) and feed additive 
tolerances for sugarcane bagasse at 0.5 ppm and sugarcane molasses at 
5.0 ppm. (PM 23)

Amended Filings

    2. PP 2F4107. In the Federal Register of June 10, 1992 (57 FR 
24644), EPA issued notice of the petition submitted by the Ciba-Geigy 
Corp., P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, proposing to amend 40 
CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation to permit residues of 
difenoconazole, 1-(2-[4-chlorophenoxy)-2-chlorophenyl]-4-methyl-1,3-
dioxolan-2-yl-methyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, in or on wheat forage at 0.1 
ppm, wheat straw at 0.1 ppm, barley forage at 0.1 ppm, and barley straw 
at 0.1 ppm. Ciba-Geigy has submitted an amendment to the petition, 
proposing to establish additional tolerances as follows: cattle, fat, 
meat, and meat byproducts (mbyp) at 0.05 ppm; eggs at 0.05 ppm; milk at 
0.05 ppm; goats, fat, meat, and mbyp at 0.05 ppm; hogs, fat, meat, and 
mbyp at 0.05 ppm; horses, fat, meat, and mbyp at 0.05 ppm; poultry, 
fat, meat, and mbyp at 0.05 ppm; barley grain at 0.1 ppm; and wheat 
grain at 0.1 ppm. The proposed analytical method for determining 
residues is gas chromatography with nitrogen/phosphorous detection. (PM 
22)
    3. PP 5F3251. This petition, submitted by Rhone-Poulenc Ag Co., 
P.O. Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle, NC 27709, is 
a reproposal to amend 40 CFR 180.415 to establish a tolerance for 
residues of the fungicide aluminum tris (O-ethyl phosphonate) in or on 
hops at 45.0 ppm. Original notice of this petition appeared in the 
Federal Register of May 24, 1985 (50 FR 21503) and proposed amending 40 
CFR 180.415 by establishing tolerances for residues of the fungicide in 
or on the commodities dried hops at 20.0 ppm and fresh or green hops at 
10.0 ppm. The proposed analytical method for determining residues is 
gas chromatography. (PM 22)
    4. PP 7F3530. In the Federal Register of June 17, 1987 (52 FR 
23077), EPA issued notice of filing of the petition by Janssen 
Pharmaceutica, 40 Kingsbridge Rd., Piscataway, NJ 08854, proposing to 
amend 40 CFR 180.413 by establishing a regulation to permit the 
residues of the fungicide imazalil (1-(2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(2-
propenyloxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazole) and its metabolite 1-(2,4-
dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)-1-ethanol in or on melons (whole) 
at 5.0 ppm; melons (pulp) at 0.7 ppm; corn, sweet, kernels and cobs at 
0.05 ppm; corn, sweet, forage at 0.05 ppm; citrus (whole) at 10.0 ppm 
citrus (pulp) at 0.2 ppm; citrus (peel) at 10.0 ppm; and imazalil (1-
(2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(2-propenyloxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazole, its 
metabolite 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)-1-ethanol, and 
(3-(1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)ethoxy)-1,2-propane 
diol) in or on milk and meat, fat, and meat byproducts (except liver) 
of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 0.02 ppm and liver of 
cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 1.5 ppm. Janssen 
Pharmaceutica has submitted an amended petition proposing to establish 
additional tolerances for the combined residues of the fungicide 
imazalil, 1-(2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(2-propenyloxy)ethyl)-1H-
imidazole and its metabolite 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazole-1-
yl)-1-ethanol in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: 
melons (post-harvest) at 5.0 ppm; corn, fresh (including sweet kernels 
plus corn with husk removed) at 0.2 ppm; corn, forage at 0.2 ppm; and 
corn, fodder at 0.2 ppm. The proposed method for determining residues 
is liquid gas chromatography. (PM 22)

Withdrawn Petitions

    5. PP 4F3021. Notice of the petition, originally filed by Shell Oil 
Co. and appearing in the Federal Register of February 23, 1984 (49 FR

flour) at 5.0 ppm. This petition was also listed in a notice, 
``Pesticide Petitions For Which No Correspondence Has Been Received'' 
(56 FR 43765, Sept. 4, 1991). The petition was originally filed by
