Fluroxypyr 1-methylheptyl ester; Pesticide Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions

Résumé

This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for combined residues of fluroxypyr [1-methylheptyl ester 1-methylheptyl ((4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridinyl)oxy)acetate] and its metabolite fluroxypyr [((4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6-fluoro-2- pyridinyl)oxy)acetic acid] in or on sorghum, grain at 0.035 parts per million (ppm); sorghum, forage at 2.0 ppm; and sorghum, grain, stover at 4.0 ppm. This action is in connection with a crisis exemption declared by the state of Kansas under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of the pesticide on sorghum. This regulation establishes maximum permissible levels for residues of fluroxypyr 1-methylheptyl ester and its metabolite, all expressed as fluroxypyr in these food commodities. The tolerances will expire and are revoked on December 31, 2005.
