SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received amended/corrected pesticide 
petitions (PP) and a feed additive petition (FAP) as follows, proposing 
the establishment and/or amendment of regulations for residues of 
certain chemicals in or on various commodities.

Amended Filings

    1. PP 4F4186. In the Federal Register of October 21, 1993 (58 FR 
54354), EPA issued the notice of the petition filed by Valent U.S.A. 
Corp., 1333 N. California Blvd., Suite 600, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, 
proposing to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation to 
permit residues of fenpropathrin (alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 2,2,3,3- 
tetramethylcyclopropane-carboxylate) in or on strawberries at 2 parts 
per million (ppm) and tomatoes (fresh market, Florida only) at 0.5 ppm. 
Valent has submitted a revised petition that proposes establishing 
tolerances for fenpropathrin in or on the following raw agricultural 
commodities: strawberries (caps removed) at 2.0 ppm; tomatoes at 0.6 
ppm; meat and meat byproducts of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep 
at 0.1 ppm; fat of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 1.0 ppm; 
milk fat (reflecting 0.11 ppm in whole milk) at 2.75 ppm; and poultry 
meat, fat, and meat byproducts and eggs at 0.02 ppm. (PM 13)
    2. FAP 3H5661. In the Federal Register of October 21, 1993 (58 FR 
54354), EPA issued the notice of the petition filed by Valent U.S.A. 
Corp., 1333 N. California Blvd., Suite 600, P.O. Box 8025, proposing 
amend 40 CFR part 186 by establishing a regulation to permit residues 
of fenpropathrin (alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 2,2,3,3-
tetramethylcyclopropane- carboxylate) in or on tomato cannery waste at 
5 ppm. Valent has submitted a revised petition that proposes 
estblishing tolerances for fenpropathrin in or on the following feed 
commodities: tomato pomace, wet at 6 ppm and tomato pomace, dried at 30 
ppm. (PM 13)

Corrected Petitions

    3. PP 4F4351. In the Federal Register of September 28, 1994 (59 FR 
49397), EPA issued the notice of the petition from Ecogen, Inc., 2005 
Cabot Blvd. West, Langhorne, PA 19047, proposing to amend 40 CFR 
180.1001(c) and (d) by establishing an exemption from the requirement 
of a tolerance for the insecticide Candida oleophila isolate I-182 in 
or on all raw agricultural commodities. The petition is corrected to 
specify that Candida oleophila  isolate I-182 is a biological 
fungicide, not an insecticide, and that the petition proposes amendment 
to 40 CFR part 180, not 40 CFR 180.1001(c) and (d). (PM 21)
    4. PP 4F4354. In the Federal Register of September 28, 1994 (59 FR

part 180 by establishing a tolerance regulation to permit residues of 
the herbicide abamectin and its 8,9 isomer in or on cucurbits (melons, 
cucumber, and squashes). The petition is corrected to specify that 
abamectin and its 8,9 isomer is an insecticide, not a herbicide, and 
that a tolerance of 0.005 ppm in or on cucurbits is proposed. (PM 13).

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136a.

Dated: October 20, 1994.
