New Tolerances
1. PP 6E3390 and 2E6438.
Interregional Research Project Number 4
(IR-4), 681 Highway 1 South, North
Brunswick, NJ 08902, proposes to
establish tolerances for residues of the
herbicide diuron, (3-(3,4dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea)] in
or on cactus, prickly pear at 0.05 part
per million (ppm), and mint at 1.5 ppm.
Cactus, prickly pear was also requested
as a regional registration for the states of
CA, TX, AZ, and NM.
2. PP 6F4680. Catfish Farmers of
America, 1100 Hwy. 82 East, Suite 202,
Indianola, MS 38751, proposed to
establish a tolerance for residues of the
herbicide diuron in or on catfish, edible
portions at 2.0 ppm (OPP-2005-0272).
Subsequently, the Agency has amended
the commodity expression to fishfreshwater finfish, farm raised at 2.0
ppm.
An analytical method is available, a
modified form of DuPont Agricultural
Products method #5470. The principle
of the determination is the hydrolysis of
diuron and its metabolites by alkaline
reflux to 3,4-dichloroanaline (3,4-DCA),
followed by a distillation of the aniline
into an acid solution. The acid distillate
is made alkaline with concentrated base
and subsequently extracted into an
organic solvent (hexane) and analyzed
by gas chromatography. With the
modified method, recoveries exceeded
70% and the limit of quantitation (LOQ)
is 0.01.

New Tolerance
PP 5F6971. Isagro S.p.A., 430 Davis
Dr., Suite 240, Morrisville, NC 27560,
proposes to establish a tolerance for
residues of the fungicide tetraconazole
in or on food commodities soybean,
aspirated grain fractions/refined oil at
0.5 parts per million (ppm); soybean,
seed at 0.1 ppm; poultry, fat at 0.05
ppm; and poultry, egg/ liver/meat/meat
byproducts at 0.01 ppm. In plants and
animals, the residue of concern, parent
tetraconazole, can be determined using
high pressure liquid chromatography
(HPLC) with a mass spectrometer (MS)
detector. The proposed limit of
quantitation (LOQ) for the methods are
0.01 ppm for soybean seed and
processed commodities, and 0.02 ppm
for poultry fat/liver/meat/meat
byproducts, and 0.01 ppm for egg.
