## Abstract

This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for residues of pyriproxyfen in or on almond nutmeats and hulls, and stone fruits (Crop Group 12, see 40 CFR 180.41). This action is in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act authorizing use of the pesticide on almonds and stone fruits. This regulation establishes maximum permissible levels for residues of pyriproxyfen in these food commodities pursuant to section 408(l)(6) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. The tolerances for almond nut meats and hulls will expire and are revoked on April 30, 2002. The tolerance for stone fruits will expire and is revoked on August 31, 2000. This document will remove a second section (Sec. 180.534) published in the Federal Register on July 6, 1998 (63 FR 36366) which subsequently added pyriproxifen as a permanent tolerance on cotton seed and cotton gin byproducts.
