SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that EPA has received

the American Cyanamid Co., P.O. Box 0400, Princeton, NJ 08543-0400, 
amended notices of filing under section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, 
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a) for food additive petitions (FAP) 
that originally appeared in the Federal Register of June 10, 1992 (57 
FR 24644, June 10, 1992) as follows:
    1. FAP 2H5634. DowElanco submitted the original petition that 
appears at page 24647 in the Federal Register of June 10, 1992 (57 FR 
24647) and proposed to amend 40 CFR part 185 by establishing a food 
additive petition to permit combined residues of the soil microbicide 
nitrapyrin [2-chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine] and its metabolite, 
6-chloropicolinic acid, in or on wheat bran at 2 parts per million 
(ppm) and wheat shorts at 1 ppm. DowElanco has amended the petition to 
propose amending 40 CFR part 185 to establish tolerances for the 
chemical in or on wheat, bran at 3 ppm and wheat, milled fractions 
(except flour) at 2 ppm. The proposed analytical method for determining 
residues is Method ACR 77.16.
    2. FAP 2H5638. The American Cyanamid Co. submitted the original 
petition that appears at page 24647 in the Federal Register of June 10, 
1992 (57 FR 24647) to amend 40 CFR part 186 by establishing a feed 
additive regulation to permit residues of the herbicide difenzoquat 
(1,2-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazolium ion), derived from application 
of the difenzoquat methyl sulfate salt and calculated as the cation in 
or on barley milled fractions (except flour), and wheat milled 
fractions (except flour) at 1.0 ppm. The amended petition proposes to 
amend 40 CFR part 185 to establish a tolerance for the chemical for 
wheat, bran at 0.25 ppm and to amend 40 CFR part 186 to establish a 
tolerance for the chemical for wheat, shorts at 0.25 ppm, barley, hulls 
at 1.0 ppm, and barley, bran at 1.0 ppm. The proposed analytical method 
for determining residues is Method ACR 77.16.
