 The following communication, dated 5 November 2004, is being circulated at the request of 
the Delegation of the United States.

Final rule:  Pyraclostrobin;  Pesticide Tolerances
 
  This final rule establishes a tolerance for th e combined residues of 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 chlorophe nyl) pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]o-tolyl] carbamate), 
expressed as parent compound in or on apple, wet pomace 8.0 ppm;  brassica, head and stem, 
subgroup at 5.0 ppm;  brassica, leafy greens, subgroup at 16.0 ppm;  citrus, dried pulp at 12.5 ppm 
(increased from 5.5 ppm);  citrus, oil at 9.0 ppm (increased from 4.0 ppm);  corn, field, grain at 0.1 ppm;  corn, field, forage at 5.0 ppm;  corn, field, stover at 17.0 ppm;  corn, field, refined oil at 0.2 
ppm;  corn, pop, grain at 0.1 ppm;  corn, pop, stover at 17.0 ppm;  corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with 
husks removed at 0.04 ppm;  corn, sweet, forage at 5.0 ppm;  corn, sweet, stover at 23.0 ppm;  fruit, 
citrus, group at 2.0 ppm (increased from 0.7 ppm);  fruit, pome, group at 1.5 ppm;  hop, dried cones at 
23.0 ppm;  legume, forage, except peanut and soybean at 25.0 ppm;  pea, succulent at 0.2 ppm;  pea 
and bean, dried shelled, except soybean, subgro up at 0.3 ppm;  peppermint at 8.0 ppm;  soybean, 
forage at 5.0 ppm;  soybean, hay at 7.0 ppm;  soybean, hulls at 0.06 ppm;  soybean, seed at 0.04 ppm;  
spearmint at 8.0 ppm;  strawberry at 1.5 ppm (a te mporary increased tolerance with an expiration date 
of December 31, 2005);  sunflower at 0.3 ppm;  ve getable, legume, edible podded, subgroup at 0.5 
ppm;  vegetable, leafy, except brassica, group at 29.0 ppm;  and vegetable, leav es of root and tuber, 
except sugar beet at 16.0 ppm. 
  This regulation is effective 29 October 2004.  Objections and requests for hearings, identified 
by docket identification (ID) number "OPP-2004-0325", must be received on or before 28 December

 In the Federal Register of 27 August 2004 (69 FR 52670), the Environmental Protection 
Agency issued a notice announcing the filing of thr ee pesticide petitions.  The petitions requested that 
40 CFR 180.582 be amended by establishing tolerances for the combined residues of the fungicide 
carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophe nyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester, 
pyraclostrobin, and methyl-N-[[[1-(4-chloropheny l) pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]o-tolyl] carbamate, the 
desmethoxy metabolite of pyraclostrobin, expressed as parent compound, in or on apple, wet pomace G/SPS/N/USA/980/Add.1

at 8.0 ppm (PP 2F6431);  brassica, leafy greens, subgroup at 16.0 ppm (PP 3F6581);  corn, field, grain at 0.1 ppm (PP 2F6431);  corn, field, forage at 5. 0 ppm (2F6431);  corn, field, stover at 17.0 ppm (PP 
2F6431);  corn, field, refined oil at 0.2 ppm (PP 2F6431);  corn, pop, grain at 0.1 ppm (PP 2F6431);  
corn, pop, stover at 17.0 ppm (PP 2F6431);  corn, sw eet, kernel plus cob with husks removed at 0.04 
ppm (PP 2F6431);  corn, sweet, forage at 5.0 ppm (PP 2F6431);  corn, sweet, stover at 23.0 ppm (PP 2F6431);  fruit, pome, group 11 at 1.5 ppm (PP 2F6431);  hop, dried, cones at 23.0 ppm (PP 2F6431);  
legume, forage, except peanut and soybean at 25.0 ppm (PP 2F6431);  pea, succulent at 0.2 ppm (PP 
2F6431);  pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup at 0.3 ppm (PP 0F6139);  
peppermint at 8.0 ppm (PP2F6431);  soybean, forage at 5.0 ppm (PP 3F6581);  soybean, hay at 7.0 
ppm (PP 3F6581);  soybean, hulls at 0.06 ppm (PP 3F6581);  soybean, seed at 0.04 ppm (PP 3F6581);  spearmint at 8.0 ppm (PP 2F6431);  sunflower at 0.3 ppm (PP 2F6431);  vegetable, leafy, except 
brassica, group at 29.0 ppm (PP 3E6774);  and vegetable, legume, edible podded, subgroup at 0.5 
ppm (PP 2F6431).  Tolerance petition 3F6581 also requests that 40 CFR 180.582 be amended by increasing the tolerances for the co mbined residues of pyraclostrobin and the desmethoxy metabolite 
of pyraclostrobin, expressed as parent compound, in or  on citrus, dried pulp to 12.5 ppm (PP 3F6581);  
citrus, oil to 9.0 ppm (PP 3F6581);  and fruit, citrus, group to 2.0 ppm (PP 3F6581).  Tolerance 
petition 0F6139 also requests that 40 CFR 180.582 be  amended by removing the tolerance for the 
combined residues of pyraclostrobin and the desm ethoxy metabolite of pyraclostrobin, expressed as 
parent compound, in or on bean, dry, seed at 0.3 ppm.  The latter tolerance has been superseded by the 
tolerance for pea and bean, dried shelle d, except soybean, subgroup at 0.3 ppm.
