ethylphosphonate) in or on pome fruit. EPA is reissuing the petition 
because more than 5 years have passed since the first notice of filing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that EPA is reissuing 
pesticide petition (PP) 8F3689, notice of which appeared in the Federal 
Register of October 20, 1988 (53 FR 41238). Rhone-Poulenc Ag Co., P.O. 
Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 
submitted the petition to EPA under section 408 of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a) and proposed to amend 40 CFR 
180.415 to establish a regulation to permit a tolerance of 10 parts per 
million (ppm) for residues of the fungicide aluminum tris(O-
ethylphosphonate) in or on the raw agricultural commodity pome fruits. 
EPA is reissuing the notice of filing because more than 5 years have 
passed since the original notice and the Agency believes that 
reissuance of the notice is necessary before it takes further action on 
the petition. The proposed method of determining residues is gas 
chromatography.

    Authority: 21 U.S.C. 346a and 348.

Dated: July 19, 1994.

Lois Rossi,
Acting Deputy Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide 
Programs.
