SUMMARY: This regulation establishes tolerances for combined residues
of pyraclostrobin and its desmethoxy metabolite, expressed as parent
compound, in or on coffee, bean, green at 0.3 parts per million (ppm;
this is a new import tolerance); fruit, stone, group 12 at 2.5 ppm
(this is an increase in the existing domestic tolerance); sorghum,
grain, forage at 5.0 ppm; sorghum, grain, grain at 0.60 ppm; and
sorghum, grain, stover at 0.80 ppm (the sorghum tolerances are new

Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylates; Exemption from the Requirement of a
Tolerance
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for [residues] of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly
(oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain
contains a minimum of six carbons when used as an inert ingredient in
pesticide formulations. The Joint Inerts Task Force (JITF), Cluster
Support Team Number 1, submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to
establish a maximum permissible level for residues of [alpha]-alkyl-
[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers
where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons.
DATES: This regulation is effective August 5, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before October 5, 2009,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes tolerances for combined residues of triflumizole and its metabolites containing the 4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylaniline (FA-1-1) moiety, calculated as the parent compound, in or on leafy greens subgroup 4A, except spinach; Brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A; Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B; cilantro leaves; Swiss chard; pineapple; papaya; black sapote; canistel; mamey sapote; mango; sapodilla; star apple; hops, dried cones; and turnip greens. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). This regulation also deletes the following time-limited tolerances, as permanent tolerances supersede them: Collards, kale and mustard greens, as residues on these commodities will be covered by the Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B tolerance; broccoli, since residues will be covered by the Brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A tolerance; dandelion leaves and parsley leaves, since residues will be covered by the leafy greens subgroup 4A tolerance; Swiss chard and turnip greens, as the time-limited tolerances will be superseded by permanent tolerances; and coriander leaves, as the cilantro leaves tolerance supersedes it and is the preferred commodity definition.
DATES: This regulation is effective June 3, 2009. Objections and requests for hearings must be received on or before August 3, 2009, and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of etoxazole in or on stone fruit; plum; prune; spearmint tops and oil; peppermint tops and oil; tomato; and cucumber. This regulation also deletes the existing cherry tolerance, as it will be superseded by inclusion in the stone fruit crop group. The Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
DATES: This regulation is effective May 27, 2009. Objections and requests for hearings must be received on or before July 27, 2009, and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes tolerances for the residues of metconazole, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on corn, field, forage; corn, field, grain; corn, field, stover; corn, pop, grain; corn, pop, stover; corn, sweet, forage; corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husks removed; corn, sweet, stover; cotton, undelinted seed; and cotton, gin byproducts. BASF Corporation requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). This regulation also establishes tolerances for residues of metconazole, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on canola seed, and eggs. Valent U.S.A. Corporation requested the tolerance for canola seed under the FFDCA. EPA required an additional tolerance for eggs based on findings in the studies submitted by the registrant. In addition, this action establishes time-limited tolerances for the residues of metconazole, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on sugarcane, cane at 1.6 ppm and sugarcane, molasses at 3.2 ppm, in response to the approval of crisis exemptions declared by the states of Florida and Louisiana under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing the quarantine use of the fungicide on sugarcane to control the fungal pathogen, Puccinia kuehnii. This regulation establishes a maximum permissible level of residues in this food commodity. The time-limited tolerances expire and are revoked on December 31, 2011.
DATES: This regulation is effective May 7, 2009. Objections and requests for hearings must be received on or before July 6, 2009, and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
