Abstract

This document establishes tolerances and feed additive regulations for residues of the herbicide glyphosate [(N- phosphonometyhyl)glycine]. The specific proposals are as follows: establishment of tolerances for alfalfa hay at 200 parts per million (ppm), alfalfa forage at 75 ppm, soybean aspirated grain fractions at 50 ppm; sunflower seed at 0.1 ppm, increased tolerances on the kidney of cattle, goats, hog, horses, and sheep from 0.5 to 4.0 ppm; an amended tolerance removing the metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) from the expression and increasing the established tolerance for soybean forage from 15 to 100 ppm; amended tolerances removing the metabolite AMPA from the expressions for the established tolerances soybean, grain at 20 ppm, and soybean, hay at 200 ppm; deletion of the established tolerances for soybean straw at 200 ppm; and an amended feed additive regulation removing the metabolite AMPA from the expression for the established tolerance soybean hulls at 100 ppm. This rule also amends the current tolerance for citrus fruits and the feed additive regulation for citrus pulp, dried by removing the metabolite AMPA from the expressions and increasing the tolerance for citrus fruits from 0.2 to 0.5 ppm and increasing the tolerance for citrus pulp, dried from 1.0 to 1.5 ppm. Monsanto Company requested these tolerances and feed additive regulation in petitions submitted to EPA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EFFECTIVE DATES: These regulations become effective April 5, 1996.
