Abstract

This regulation establishes a time-limited tolerance for combined residues of the fungicide pyraclostrobin (carbamic acid, [2- [[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester) and its desmethoxy metabolite (methyl-N-[[[1-(4- chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]o-tolyl]carbamate), expressed as parent compound, in or on Belgian endive. This action is in response to EPA's granting of an emergency exemption under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing post harvest use of the pesticide on endive, Belgian to control the fungal pathogen, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. This regulation establishes a maximum permissible level for residues of pyraclostrobin in this food commodity. The time-limited tolerance expires and is revoked on December 31, 2009.
