4. PP 9E7669 . (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010– 0102). The Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the herbicide, triflusulfuron methyl, 2 [[[[[4- (dimethylamino)-6-(2,2,2- trifluoroethoxy)-1,3,5-triazin-2- yl]amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]-3- methylbenzoate, in or on beet, garden, roots at 0.01 ppm; and beet, garden, tops at 0.02 ppm. A method for quantitation of triflusulfuron methyl in garden beets uses a high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) with eluent and column-switching and ultra-violet (UV) detection at 232 nanometer (nm) for the determination of triflusulfuron methyl residues in garden beet foliage and roots. Sample clean-up is achieved through reversed phase chromatographyusing eluent-switching. Columnswitching provides the resolution required for quantitation of triflusulfuron methyl. The calculated LOQ values were 0.0069 ppm for roots and 0.0044 ppm on tops (leaves) respectively. Triflusulfuron methyl is detected at levels as low as 0.005 ppm. Triflusulfuron methyl recoveries averaged 99% for foliage and 110% for roots. Contact: Laura Nollen, (703) 305– 7390, e-mail address: nollen.laura@epa.gov
