    1. PP 6F4738. Gowan, P.O. Box 5569, Yuma, AZ 85366-5569, proposes 
to amend 40 CFR 180.448 by establishing tolerances for the combined 
residues of the acaricide hexythiazox, trans-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-
cyclohexyl-4-methyl-2-oxothiazolidine-3-carboxamide and its metabolites 
containing the (4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-2-oxo-3-thiazolidine moiety 
(expressed as parts per million of the parent compound) in or on the 
following commodities: milk, at 0.05 parts per million (ppm), cattle, 
meat and cattle, fat at 0.05 ppm, cattle, mbyp (meat byproducts) at 
0.1, almonds, nutmeat at 0.2 ppm, stone fruits (except plums) at 1 ppm
