NOTIFICATION  
 
Addendum
 
 
 
The following communication, received on 7 Augus t 2007, is being circulated at the request 
of the Delegation of the United States . 
 
_______________  
 
 Bromoxynil, Diclofop-methyl, Dicofol, Diquat, Etridiazole, et al.; Tolerance Actions
 
 By means of this rule:  
EPA is recodifying the tolerance for residues of folpet in or on "avocado" at 25 ppm from as a 
tolerance with regional registration because the use of  folpet on avocados is limited to the state of 
Florida, and there is no need for a national toleran ce.  Additional residue da ta would be required to 
establish a tolerance for folpet use on av ocados outside the state of Florida. 
 
With the exception of "avocado" and "hop, dried cones", the registrant is supporting the 
remaining folpet tolerances for import purposes only and EPA is designating them as import 
tolerances with no US registrations.  Therefore, EP A is modifying certain tolerances for folpet to 
reflect the best available foreign field trial data.  Therefore, use of folpet outside the United States should not exceed the maximum use rate, minimum pr e-harvest interval, and retreatment interval 
specified herein.  Any use pattern exceeding th ese maximum single and seasonal application rates, 
minimum PHIs, and minimum retreatment interval s may result in residues exceeding US tolerance 
levels.  
EPA is decreasing the tolerance on "apple" from 25.0 ppm to 5.0 ppm. 
 
EPA is decreasing the tolerance in 40 CFR 180.191(a) for "cranberry" from 25.0 ppm to 15.0 
ppm.  
EPA is decreasing the tolerance for residues of folpet in or on "onion, dry bulb" from 15.0 
ppm to 2.0 ppm, decreasing the tolerance for "strawberry" from 25.0 ppm to 5.0 ppm, increasing the 
tolerance for "grape" from 25 ppm to 50.0 ppm, is es tablishing a tolerance for "grape, raisin" at 80.0 
ppm, and EPA is decreasing the tolerances on cu cumber to 2.0 ppm and melon to 3.0 ppm. 
 
Tolerances for "lettuce" and "tomato" will be ma intained at the current level of 50.0 ppm and 
25.0 ppm, respectively, for import purposes only.  Th ere are no US registrations for use of folpet on 
these commodities.

  EPA is revising the tolerance terminology fro m onion, dry bulb to read onion, bulb.  The 
reason for taking this action is because such action has no practical impact on the use of or exposure 
to the pesticide active ingredient, folpet, in or on th at commodity and is made such that the tolerance 
terminology will conform to current Agency practice.  
This regulation is effective 30 October 2007.  Objections and requests for hearings must be 
received on or before 1 October 2007, and may be identified by docket number EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-
0154.

This action is subsequent to a notice published in the Federa l Register 4 August 2004, in 
which the Agency announced proposed changes to tole rances for folpet, among other pesticide agents.
