  NOTIFICATION  
1. Notifying Member:  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA  
If applicable, name of local government involved:   
2. Agency responsible:  Environmental Protection Agency  
3. Products covered (provide tariff item number(s) as specified in national 
schedules deposited with the WTO; ICS numbers should be provided in addition, 
where applicable):  Artichoke, globe; Pepper/eggplant subgroup 8 -10B; Sunflower 
subgroup 20B; Tomato subgroup 8 -10A 
4. Regions or countries likely to be affected, to the extent relevant or practicable : 
[X] All trading partners   
[ ] Specific regions or countries:   
5. Title of the notified document:  Cyclaniliprole; Pesticide Tolerances. Final Rule . 
Language(s):  English . Number of pages:  4 
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR -2022-11-18/html/2022 -25185.htm  
6. Description of content:  This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of 
cyclaniliprole in or on multiple crops.  
7. Objective and rationale: [X]  food safety, [  ] animal health, [  ] plant protection, 
[ ] protect humans from animal/plant pest or disease, [  ] protect territor y from 
other damage from pests.   
8. Is there a relevant international standard? If so, identify the standard:  
[ ] Codex Alimentarius Commission (e.g.  title or serial number of Codex 
standard or related text) :  
[ ] World Organization for Animal Health (OIE ) (e.g.  Terrestrial or Aquatic 
Animal Health Code, chapter number) :  
[ ] International Plant Protection Convention (e.g.  ISPM number) :  
[X] None  
Does this proposed regulation conform to the relevant international standard?  
[ ] Yes   [  ] No 
If no, describe, whenever possible, how and why it deviates from the 
international standard:  There are Codex MRLs established on tomato subgroup 8 -10A at 
0.08 ppm for most commodities and at 0.1 ppm for tomato and on pepper/eggplant 
subgroup 8 -10B at 0.15 ppm. Fo r peppers (bell/non -bell) and tomatoes, the Agency is not 
harmonizing with the Codex MRLs because the Codex MRLs are much lower than the 
US tolerances (0.15 vs 1.5 ppm for pepper subgroup and 0.1 vs 0.7 ppm for tomato 
subgroup). Harmonization could potenti ally result in tolerance exceedances in the 
United States  and is therefore not possible.  G/SPS/N/USA/3355
