Abstract

This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of spinosad in or on succulent shelled pea and bean legumes at 0.02 parts per million (ppm), dried shell pea and bean (except soybean) legumes at 0.02 ppm, and wheat (flour, bran, middlings, and shorts, only) at 0.15 ppm; cucurbit vegetables at 0.30 ppm; edible-podded legume vegetables at 0.30 ppm; soybeans at 0.02 ppm; stone fruits at 0.20 ppm; corn, grain, including field, and pop at 0.020 ppm; sorghum, grain at 1.0 ppm; wheat, grain at 0.020 ppm; forage, fodder, hay, stover, and straw of cereal grains at 1.0 ppm; aspirated grain fractions at 20 ppm; poultry, fat at 0.20 ppm; and poultry, meat, meat byproducts, and eggs at 0.020 ppm. This regulation increases current livestock residue tolerances as follows: meat of cattle, goats, hogs, horses and sheep from 0.04 to 0.15 ppm, meat by-products of cattle, goats, hogs, horses and sheep from 0.20 ppm to 1.0 ppm; fat of cattle, goats, hogs, horses and sheep from 0.6 ppm to 3.5 ppm; milk, whole from 0.04 ppm to 0.50 ppm and milk fat from 0.5 ppm to 5 ppm. This regulation also removes time limitations for residues of spinosad on corn, sweet; kernel plus cob with husk removed, stover and forage, which expire on June 20, 2001 and raises the tolerance on corn, sweet, forage to 1.0 ppm. Dow AgroSciences requested this tolerance under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.
