Abstract

This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of spinosad in or on asparagus at 0.020 part per million (ppm), bushberry subgroup (crop subgroup 13B) at 0.250 ppm, cranberry at 0.01 ppm, foliage of legume vegetable group (crop group 7) at 8.0 ppm, garden beet roots at 0.10 ppm, globe artichoke at 0.30 ppm, juneberry at 0.250 ppm, leaves of root and tuber vegetable group (crop group 2) at 10.0 ppm, lingonberry at 0.250 ppm, okra at 0.40 ppm, pistachio at 0.020 ppm, pome fruit group (crop group 11) at 0.20 ppm, salal at 0.250 ppm, strawberry at 1.0 ppm, sugar beet roots at 0.10 ppm, and the tree nut group (crop group 14) at 0.020 ppm. The Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) requested these tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. This final rule establishes permanent tolerances for spinosad and as part of that process the Agency has reassessed existing tolerances. By law, EPA is required to reassess 66% of the tolerances in existence on August 2, 1996, by August 2002, or about 6,400 tolerances. All permanent tolerances for spinosad were established after August 2, 1996. Consequently, regarding the actions in this final rule, no tolerance reassessments are counted toward the August 2002 review deadline of FFDCA section 408(q).
