## Abstract

This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for combined residues of thiamethoxam and its CGA-322704 metabolite in or on cotton, milk, and meat and meat byproducts of cattle, goats, horses and sheep. This action is in response to EPA's granting of an emergency exemption under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act authorizing use of the pesticide on cotton. This regulation establishes maximum permissible levels for residues of thiamethoxam in this food commodity. These tolerances will expire and are revoked on December 31, 2002.
