 Spirotetramat;  Pesticide Tolerances
 
 
By means of this regulation, tolerances are esta blished for combined residues of spirotetramat 
(cis-3-(2,5-dimethlyphenyl)-8-methoxy-2-oxo-1-azaspiro  [4.5] dec-3-en-4-yl-ethyl carbonate]) and its 
metabolites BYI 08330-enol (cis-3-(2,5-dimethylp henyl)-4-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1-azaspiro 4.5 dec-3-
en-2-one), BYI 08330-ketohydroxy (cis-3-(2,5-dim ethylphenyl)-3-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1-azaspiro 4.5 
decane-2,4-dione), BYI08330-enol-Glc(cis-3-(2,5 -dimethylphenyl)-8-methoxy-2-oxo-1-azaspiro 4.5 
dec-3-en-4-yl beta-D-glucopyranoside), and BYI 08330-mono-hydroxy (cis-3-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-
4-hydroxy 8-methoxy-1-azaspiro 4.5 decan-2-one), calc ulated as spirotetramat equivalents, in or on 
the following commodities:  Fruit, citrus, group 10 at 0.60 ppm; citrus, oil at 6.0 ppm; vegetable, 
leafy, except brassica, group 4 at 9.0 ppm; fruit, pome, group 11 at 0.70 ppm; fruit, stone, group 12 at

hulls at 9.0 ppm; hop, dried cones at 10 ppm.   
Tolerances are also established for the combin ed residues of spirotetramat (cis-3-(2,5-
dimethlyphenyl)-8-methoxy-2-oxo-1-azaspiro 4.5 de c-3-en-4-yl-ethyl carbonate) and its metabolite 
BYI 08330-enol (cis-3-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-4-hydr oxy-8-methoxy-1-azaspiro 4.5 dec-3-en-2-one), 
calculated as spirotetramat equivalents, in/on the following livestock commodities:  Milk at 0.01 ppm; 
cattle, meat at 0.02 ppm; cattle, fat at 0.02 ppm; cattl e, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm; goat, meat at 
0.02 ppm; goat, fat at 0.02 ppm; goat, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm; sheep, meat at 0.02 ppm; sheep, fat at 0.02 ppm; sheep, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm ; horse, meat at 0.02 ppm; horse, fat at 0.02 ppm; 
horse, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm. 
 
This regulation is effective 9 July 2008.  Ob jections and requests for hearings must be 
received on or before 8 September 2008, and ma y be identified by docket number EPA-HQ-OPP-
