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

``Pesticide Petitions For Which No Correspondence Has Been Received''
(56 FR 43765, Sept. 4, 1991). The petition was originally filed by
