Abstract
This rule extends tolerances for residues of seven synthetic pyrethroids--permethrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate/esfenvalerate, tralomethrin, fenpropathrin, cyfluthrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin (collectively referred to as the synthetic pyrethroids)--in or on certain raw agricultural commodities. FMC Corp. (FMC), Zeneca Ag Products, E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet Co., Miles, Inc., and Valent U.S.A Corp., collectively called the industry's Pyrethroid Working Group (PWG), requested this rule to extend the effective date for tolerances for maximum permissible levels of residues of these synthetic pyrethroids in or on the commodities.
