SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received amended pesticide petitions 
as follows proposing the establishment and/or amendment of regulations 
for residues of certain pesticide chemicals in or on various 
agricultural commodities.

Amended Filings

    1. PP 2F4154. In the Federal Register of June 29, 1994 (59 FR 
33504), EPA issued a notice of an amended petition filed by Rohm & Haas 
Co., Independence Mall West, Philadelphia, PA 19105 (amendment to 
petition filed in the Federal Register of December 30 1992 (57 FR 
62334; Dec. 30, 1992)) proposing to amend 40 CFR part 180 by 
establishing a regulation to permit residues of fenbuconazole and its 
metabolites in or on bananas (whole fruit) at 0.3 part per million 
(ppm) of which not more than 0.05 ppm is contained in banana pulp. The 
amended petition is further amended to specify that the residues of 
fenbuconazole and its metabolites are combined and expressed parent 
equivalent to determine the total raw agricultural commodity (RAC) 
residue on bananas. The Rohm & Haas Co. requests that the following 
permanent tolerances be established for the total fenbuconazole 
residues: bananas (whole fruit) at 0.3 ppm of which not more than 0.05 
ppm is contained in banana pulp. (PM 22)
    2. PP 3F4193. In the Federal Register of October 21, 1993 (58 FR 
54354), EPA issued a 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 Permit Herbicide (methyl 5-[(4,6-
dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino] carbonylaminosulfonyl-3-chloro-1-methyl-
1H-pyrazole-4- carboxylate, and its metabolites determined as 3-chloro-
1-methyl-5-sulfamoylpyrazole-4-carboxylic acid and expressed as parent 
equivalents), in or on corn, field grain at 0.1 ppm, corn, field forage 
at 0.3 ppm, corn, field fodder at 1.3 ppm, and grain sorghum (milo) 
grain at 0.02 ppm (lower limit of method validation), grain sorghum 
(milo) forage at 0.07 ppm, grain sorghum (milo) stover at 0.08 ppm, 
grain sorghum (milo) silage at 0.14 ppm, grain sorghum (milo) hay, no 
tolerance proposals. Monsanto Co. has submitted to EPA an amended 
petition proposing to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a 
regulation to permit residues in or on corn, field grain at 0.1 ppm, 
corn, field forage at 0.3 ppm, corn, field fodder at 1.5 ppm, grain 
sorghum (milo) grain at 0.1 ppm, grain sorghum (milo) forage at 0.3 
ppm, grain sorghum (milo) fodder/stover at 0.1 ppm, and meat and meat 
byproducts (cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep) at 0.1 ppm. The 
amended petition also proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing 
a regulation to permit indirect or inadvertent residues when present as 
a result of application to field corn and/or grain sorghum (milo) in or 
on soybean seed at 0.5 ppm, soybean forage at 0.5 ppm, soybean hay at 
0.5 ppm, and wheat grain at 0.1 ppm, wheat forage at 0.1 ppm, and wheat 
straw at 0.2 ppm. (PM 23)
