April 27, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces the initial filing of a pesticide petition proposing the establishment of regulations for residues of a certain pesticide chemical in or on various food commodities.

This regulation establishes a tolerance for: Primary crops for the combined residues of spiromesifen (2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)- 1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate) and its enol metabolite (4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3- en-2-one), calculated as the parent compound equivalents; rotational crops for the inadvertent or indirect combined residues of spiromesifen (2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3- dimethylbutanoate), its enol metabolite (4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one), and its metabolites containing the 4-hydroxymethyl moiety (4-hydroxy-3-[4-(hydroxymethyl)- 2,6-dimethylphenyl]-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one), calculated as the parent compound equivalents; and livestock commodities for the combined residues of spiromesifen (2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1- oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate), and its metabolites containing the enol (4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1- oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one) and 4-hydroxymethyl (4-hydroxy-3-[4- (hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl]-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2 -one) moieties, calculated as the parent compound equivalents. Bayer CropScience requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA).

The Office of the Secretary of Defense proposes to alter a system of records to its inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C 552a), as amended. The Office of the Secretary is proposing to alter the existing system of records by expanding the purposes, categories of individuals covered, categories of records being maintained, and by adding three new routine uses.
