Abstract

This regulation extends time-limited tolerances for combined residues of the fungicide propiconazole and its metabolites in or on sorghum, grain, grain at 0.2 part per million (ppm); sorghum, grain, stover at 1.5 ppm; sorghum, aspirated grain fractions at 20 ppm; dry beans at 0.5 ppm; dry bean, forage at 8 ppm; dry bean, hay at 8 ppm; and blueberries, cranberries and raspberries at 1.0 ppm. The sorghum and cranberry tolerances are extended for an additional 17-month period; the dry bean, raspberry, and blueberry tolerances are extended for an additional 1-year period. All of these tolerances will expire and are revoked on December 31, 2001. This action is in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act authorizing uses of the pesticide on sorghum, dry beans, blueberries, cranberries, and raspberries. Section 408(l)(6) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires EPA to establish a time-limited tolerance or exemption from the requirement for a tolerance for pesticide chemical residues in food that will result from the use of a pesticide under an emergency exemption granted by EPA under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
