II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is printing a summary of a
pesticide petition received under
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 the fungicide,
oxytetracyline in or on apples. 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. Additional data may
be needed before EPA rules on this
pesticide petition.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of the petition included in this
notice, prepared by the petitioner along
with a description of the analytical
method available for the detection and
measurement of the pesticide chemical
residues is available on EPA’s Electronic
Docket at https://www.regulations.gov.

New Tolerance
(PP) 7E4855. Interregional Research
Project #4 (IR–4), 500 College Rd., East,
Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to
establish a tolerance for residues of the
fungicide, oxytetracycline in or on food
commodity apple at 0.35 parts per
million (ppm). HWI Method MR–
OPAP–MA with modifications is used
to measure and evaluate oxytetracycline
residues. The method is adapted from
Pfizer Method STP No. 012.14 entitled
Microbiological Agar Diffusion Assy for
Oxytetracycline in Fruit Extract and
Hazelton Method OTCF entitled
Oxytetracycline in Feeds which is
published in Official Methods of
Analysis of the AOAC, 15th Edition as
Method 968.50. The method is similar
to Final Action Microbiological
Methods I and II in the AOAC Official
Methods of Analysis (1984; 42.29342.298).
