[[Page 27506]] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has received pesticide 
petitions and food/feed additive petitions as follows proposing the 
amendment of regulations for residues of certain pesticide chemicals in 
or on various agricultural commodities.

Initial Filings

    1. PP 5F4440. Valent U.S.A. Corp., 1333 North California Blvd., 
Suite 600, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, proposes amending 40 CFR 180.458 by 
establishing tolerances for the combined residues of the herbicide 
clethodim ((E)-()-2-[1-[[(3-chloro-2-propenyl)oxy] imino] 
propyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propenyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one) and its 
metabolites containing the 2-cyclohexen-1-one moiety in or on the raw 
agricultural commodities alfalfa, forage at 10 ppm; alfalfa, hay at 15 
ppm; dry bean, seeds at 2 ppm; dry bean, forage at 5 ppm; dry bean, 
straw/hay at 7 ppm; peanut, nut meat at 3 ppm; peanut, hulls at 2 ppm; 
peanut, hay at 5 ppm. Proposed analytical method for determining 
residues is a compound-specific method (liquid chromatography (HPLC/
UV)) or a common moiety method (gas chromatography with sulfur 
detector). (PM-23)
    2. PP 5F4454. E.I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Agricultural Products, 
Walkers Mill, Barley Mill Plaza, P.O. Box 80038, Wilmington, DE 19880-
0038, proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation to 
permit residues of chlorimuron ethyl (ethyl-2- [[[[(4-chloro -6- 
methoxpyrimidin -2yl) amino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl]bensoate) in or 
on the raw agricultural commodities corn (field/grain); corn, (field/
forage); and corn (field/fodder) at 0.05 ppm. The analytical 
enforcement method is column surtehony (heart cut) liquid 
chromatography (HPLC/UV). (PM-25)
    3. PP 5F4469. American Cyanamid Co., P.O. Box 400, Princeton, NJ 
08543, proposes to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation 
to permit combined residues of the herbicide prosulfuron, 1-(4-methoxy-
6-methyl-triazin-2-yl)-3-[2-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)-phenylsulfonyl]-
urea, on cereal grains, cereal grains forage, fodder, and straw (except 
rice and wild rice) at 0.02 ppm. (PM-25)
    4. FAP 5H5713. Valent U.S.A. Corp., 1333 North California Blvd., 
Suite 600, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, proposes amending 40 CFR 186.1075 by 
establishing a tolerance for the combined residues of the herbicide 
clethodim ((E)-()-2-[1-[[(3-chloro-2-
propenyl)oxy]imino]propyl]-5-[2-(ethylthio)propenyl]-3-hydroxy-2-
cyclohexen-1-one and its metabolites containing the 2-cyclohexen-1-one 
moiety in or on the processed commodity peanut, meal at 10 ppm. 
Proposed analytical method for determining residues is a compound-
specific method (liquid chromatography (HPLC)). (PM-23)

Amended Filing

    5. PP 3F4225. In the Federal Register of October 21, 1993 (58 FR 
54354), EPA issued a notice announcing that Ciba-Geigy Corp. proposed 
to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing a regulation to permit 
residues of triasulfuron, 3-(6-methoxy-4-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-1-
(2-chloroethoxy) phenylsulfonyl) urea in or on grass, forage at 7.0 ppm 
and grass, hay at 2.0 ppm. Ciba-Geigy is amending the petition to 
inlcude the establishment of a regulation permitting residues of 
triasulfuron in the kidney of cattle, goats, hogs, horses, and sheep at 
0.5 ppm. (PM-25).
     A record has been established for this notice document under 
docket number [PF-625; FRL 4951-3] (including any comments and data 
submitted electronically as described below). A public version of this 
record, including printed, paper versions of electronic comments, which 
does not include any information claimed as CBI, is available for 
inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding
