section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C.
346a, proposing the establishment or
amendment of regulations in 40 CFR
part 180 for residues of pesticide
chemicals in or on various food
commodities. EPA has determined that
this pesticide petition contains data or
information regarding the elements set
forth in FFDCA section 408(d)(2);
however, EPA has not fully evaluated
the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support
granting of the pesticide petition.

New Tolerance
PP 4E6884. BASF Corporation, 26
Davis Drive, P.O. Box 13528, Research
Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to
establish a tolerance for residues of the
fungicide metrafenone (3-bromo-6methoxy-2-methylphenyl)(2,3,4trimethoxy-6-methylphenyl)
methanone) (BAS 560 F) in or on food
commodities table and wine grapes at
0.5 parts per million (ppm). BASF
Analytical Methods No. FAMS 105-01
and No. FAMS 106-01 were developed
to determine residues of BAS 560 F in
grapes and wine, respectively.
In Method FAMS 105-01, BAS 560 F
residues are extracted from the sample
with n-heptane/acetone 8/2 (v/v). This
is followed by liquid/liquid partition
with ethyl acetate/water to remove sugar
coextractives and the organic phase is
then dried with sodium sulfate. The
extract is subjected to further cleanup
using high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) Quantitation
determination of BAS 560 F is carried
out by capillary gas chromatography
with an electron capture detector (GC/
ECD). In Method FAMS 106-01, BAS
560 F residues are extracted from the
sample by means of an Extrelut
cartridge (Extrelut NT 20, pre-packed
columns for extraction of lipophilic
compounds from aqueous solutions).
The extract is subjected to further
cleanup using HPLC. Quantitative
determination of BAS 560 F is carried
out by GC/ECD. An independent
laboratory validation demonstrated good
performance of these methods.

for residues of the insecticide zeta
cypermethrin(±)-Cyano(3phenoxyphenyl)methyl (±) cis, trans 3(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and
its inactive isomers in or on turnip
greens at 14.0 parts per million (ppm)
and cilantro at 10.0 ppm. There is a
practical analytical method for detecting
and measuring levels of cypermethrin in
or on food with a limit of detection that
allows monitoring of food with residues
at or above the levels set in these
tolerances (Gas Chromatography with
Electron Capture Detection).

New Tolerances
PP 3E6677. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 681
Highway 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390, proposes to establish
tolerances for residues of the insecticide zeta cypermethrin()-Cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl () cis, trans 3-(2,2-
dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and its inactive
isomers in or on turnip greens at 14.0 parts per million (ppm) and
cilantro at 10.0 ppm. There is a practical analytical method for
detecting and measuring levels of cypermethrin in or on food with a
limit of detection that allows monitoring of food with residues at or
above the levels set in these tolerances (Gas Chromatography with
Electron Capture Detection).
