Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, has submitted a

Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)), amend 40 CFR 180.415 to establish a 
tolerance for the fungicide fosetyl-Al, aluminum tris(O-
ethylphosphonate), in or on tomatoes at 3 parts per million (ppm).

Amended Filing

    2. PP 2F4127. Rohm & Haas Co., Agricultural Chemicals Registration 
and Regulatory Affairs, Independence Mall, Philadelphia, PA 19105, has 
submitted an amendment to PP 2F4127, notice of which originally 
published in the Federal Register of December 30, 1992 (57 FR 62334). 
The original notice proposed amendment to 40 CFR part 180 by 
establishing a regulation to permit combined residues of fenbuconazole 
(alpha-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)-ethyl)-alpha-phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazole)-1-
propanenitrile) in or on wheat (grain, straw, and processed fractions), 
poultry, meat, milk, and eggs. The petition, as amended, proposes to 
amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation to permit combined 
residues of fenbuconazole (alpha-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-ethyl]-alpha-
phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-propanenitrile] and its metabolites RH-9129 
[cis-5-(4-chlorphenyl)dihydro-3-phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl-
)-2(3H)-furanone] and RH-9130 [trans-5-(4-chlorophenyl)dihydro-3-
phenyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ylmethyl-)-2(3H-furanone] in or on the 
following commodities: wheat grain at 0.05 part per million (ppm); and 
wheat straw at 10 ppm. It also proposes combined residues of 
fenbuconazole and its metabolite RH-7968 [4-chlorophenyl-alpha-
(hydroxymethyl)-alpha-phenyl-benzenebutanenitrile] in or on fat 
(cattle, hogs, horses, and sheep) at 0.05 ppm and combined residues of 
fenbuconazole and its metabolites RH-9129, RH-9130, and RH-7968 in or
