SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received an initital filing of a 
pesticide petition (PP), two filings of amendments to previously issued 
pesticide petitions, and one filing of an amended food/feed additive 
petition, as follows:

Initial Filing

    1. PP 4F4361. Rhone-Poulenc Ag Co., P.O. Box 12014, 2 T.W. 
Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to amend 40 
CFR 180.415 by increasing established tolerances for the residues of 
the fungicide fosetyl-Al, aluminum tris (O-ethyl phosphonate), in or on 
the raw agricultural commodities as follows: Strawberries from 20 parts 
per million (ppm) to 75 ppm; brassica (cole) leafy vegetables group 
from 55 ppm to 60 ppm; leafy vegetables (except brassica vegetables) 
from 80 ppm to 100 ppm. The proposed analytical method for determining 
residues is gas chromatography. (PM 22)

Amended Petitions

    2. PP 1F3952. In the Federal Register of April 3, 1991 (56 FR 
13642), EPA issued a notice that ICI Americas, Inc., Agricultural 
Products, Wilmington, DE, 19897, had submitted the petition proposing 
to amend 40 CFR 180.438 by establishing a regulation to permit residues 
of the insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin [1-alpha-(S),3-alpha-(Z)]-
()-cyano-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-
trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] in or on 
tomatoes at 0.06 part per million (ppm), cabbage at 0.4 ppm, and 
broccoli at 0.4 ppm. ICI Americas, Inc., has submitted to EPA an 
amendment to the petition for tomatoes, increasing the proposed 
tolerance from 0.06 ppm to 0.1 ppm. (PM-13)
    3. PP 3F4187. In the Federal Register of October 21, 1993 (58 FR 
54354), EPA issued notice that Monsanto Co., 700 14th St., NW., 
Washington, DC 20005, proposed to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing 
a regulation to permit residues of thiazopyr (3-pyridinecarboxylic 
acid, 2-(difluoromethyl)-5-(4,5-dihydro-2-thiazolyl)-4-(2-
methylpropyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-, methyl ester and its metabolites 
determined as 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, 5-(aminocarbonyl)-2-
(difluoromethyl)-4-(2-methylpropyl)-6-trifluoromethyl)-, methyl ester 
and 3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, 2-(difluoromethyl)-4-(2-methylpropyl)-5-
([(2-sulfoethyl)amino] carbonyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl) and expressed as 
parent equivalents, in or on citrus whole fruit at 0.05 part per 
million (ppm), cotton seed at 0.05 ppm, and cotton forage at 0.2 ppm. 
Monsanto Co. has amended the citrus whole fruit commmodity to request 
instead, tolerances of 0.05 ppm for orange, whole fruit and 0.05 ppm 
for grapefruit, whole fruit. The proposed analytical method for 
determining residues is mass spectral multiple-ion detection. (PM-23)
    4. PP 6F3436. In the Federal Register of October 29, 1986 (51 FR 
39577), EPA issued notice that Roussel Uclaf of Paris, France, U.S. 
Agent: Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet Co., Route 202-206 North, Somerville, 
NJ 08876, had proposed amending 40 CFR 180.422 by establishing 
tolerances for combined residues of the insecticide tralomethrin and 
its major metabolites in or on various agricultural commodities. 
Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet Co. has submitted to EPA an amended tolerance 
of 1.0 part per million (ppm) in head lettuce, instead of 0.5 ppm. The 
proposed analytical method for determining residues is gas 
chromatography. (PM 13)
    5. FAP 1H5607. In the Federal Register of April 3, 1991 (56 FR 
13643), EPA issued a notice that ICI Americas, Inc., Agricultural 
Products, Wilmington, DE, 19897, had submitted the petition proposing 
to amend 40 CFR part 186 by establishing a regulation to permit 
residues of the insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin [1-alpha-(S),3-alpha-
(Z)]-()-cyano-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-
trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] in or on wet 
tomato pomace at 0.6 ppm and dry tomato pomace at 4.0 ppm. ICI 
Americas, Inc., has submitted to EPA an amendment to the petition, to 
propose a tolerance of 6.0 ppm for tomato pomace, wet or dry. (PM-13)
