Addendum
 
 
 
 The following communication, dated 12 Augus t 2005 has been received from the delegation 
of the United States. 
_______________ 
 
 
Alachlor, Carbaryl, Diazinon, Disulfoton, Pirimiphos-methyl, and Vinclozolin; Tolerance 
Revocations  
 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is re voking certain tolerances for residues of the 
herbicide Alachlor, insecticides Carbaryl, Diazinon , Disulfoton, and Pirimiphos-methyl, and the 
fungicide Vinclozolin because these specific tolerances are no longer n eeded or are associated with 
food uses that are no longer current or registered in the United States. 
 
Alachlor:   EPA is revoking the tolerances for the combin ed residues of the herbicide Alachlor and its 
metabolites (calculated as Alachlor) in or on pea nut, forage; peanut, hay; soybean, forage; and 
soybean, hay. 
 Carbaryl:   EPA is revoking the tolerance for residues of the insecticide Carbaryl, including its 
hydrolysis product 1-naphthol, calculated as 1-napht hyl N-methylcarbamate, in or on flax, straw. 
     
EPA is also revoking the tolerances for residues of the insecticide Carbaryl, including its hydrolysis 
product 1-naphthol, calculated as 1-naphthyl N-methylcar bamate, in or on bean, forage and bean, hay. 
 Finally, EPA is revoking the tolerance for residues of the insecticide Carbaryl in or on pineapple bran. 
 
Diazinon :  EPA is revoking the tolerances for residues of the insecticide Diazinon (O,O-diethyl O-[6-
methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-4-pyrimidinyl] phosphorot hioate) in or on coffee bean and dandelion, 
leaves. 
 
Disulfoton :  EPA is revoking the tolerance for the comb ined residues of the insecticide O,O-diethyl 
S-[2-(ethylthio)ethyl] phosphorodithioate and its cho linesterase-inhibiting metabolites, calculated as 
demeton, in or on hop, dried cones. 
 Pirimiphos-methyl:   EPA is revoking the tolerance for th e combined residues of the insecticide 
pirimiphos-methyl, O-(2-diethylamino-6-methyl-4-p yrimidinyl) O,O-dimethyl phosphorothioate, the 
metabolite O-(2-ethylamino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)  O,O-dimethyl phosphor othioate and, in free 
and conjugated form, the metabolites 2-diethyla mino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol, 2-ethylamino-6- 
methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol, and 2-amino-6-meth yl-pyrimidin-4-ol in or on kiwifruit. 
 EPA also is revoking the tolerance for residues of the insecticide pirimiphos- methyl and its 
metabolite O-(2-ethylamino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-yl)  O,O-dimethyl phosphor othioate and, in free G/SPS/N/USA/1045/Add.1 
Page 2  
 
 and conjugated form, the metabolites 2-diethyla mino-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol, 2-ethylamino-6-
methyl-pyrimidin-4-ol, and 2-amino-6-methyl-pyr imidin-4-ol in or on wheat flour as a result of 
application to stored wheat grain. 
 
Vinclozolin:   EPA is revoking the tolerances for the comb ined residues of the fungicide vinclozolin 
and its metabolites containing the 3,5-dichloroaniline moiety in or on onion, dry bulb and raspberry. 
 
This rule is effective 3 August 2005. Objections and requests for hearings identified by docket ID 
number OPP-200
5-0183, must be received on or before 3 October 2005 by:    Special Review and

 In the Federal Register of 23 March 2005 (70 FR  14618), EPA issued a proposed rule to revoke 
certain tolerances for residues.
