§
180.8
Withdrawal
of
petitions
without
prejudice.

In
some
cases
the
Administrator
will
notify
the
petitioner
that
the
petition,
while
technically
complete,
is
inadequate
to
justify
the
establishment
of
a
tolerance
or
the
tolerance
requested
by
petitioner.
This
may
be
due
to
the
fact
that
the
data
are
not
sufficiently
clear
or
complete.
In
such
cases,
the
petitioner
may
withdraw
the
petition
pending
its
clarification
or
the
obtaining
of
additional
data.
This
withdrawal
may
be
without
prejudice
to
a
future
filing.
A
deposit
for
fees
as
specified
in
§
180.33
shall
accompany
the
resubmission
of
the
petition.

amendments
to
petitions.

After
a
petition
has
been
filed,
the
petitioner
may
submit
additional
information
or
data
in
support
thereof,
but
in
such
cases
the
petition
will
be
given
a
new
filing
date.

§
180.32
Procedure
for
modifying
and
revoking
tolerances
or
exemptions
from
tolerances.

(
a)
The
Administrator
on
his/
her
own
initiative
may
propose
the
issuance
of
a
regulation
modifying
or
revoking
a
tolerance
for
a
pesticide
chemical
residue
on
raw
agricultural
commodities
or
processed
foods
or
modifying
or
revoking
an
exemption
from
tolerance
for
such
residue.

(
b)
Any
person
may
file
with
the
Administrator
a
petition
proposing
the
issuance
of
a
regulation
modifying
or
revoking
a
tolerance
or
exemption
from
a
tolerance
for
a
pesticide
chemical
residue.
The
petition
shall
furnish
reasonable
grounds
for
the
action
sought.
Reasonable
grounds
shall
include
an
explanation
showing
wherein
the
person
has
a
substantial
interest
in
such
tolerance
or
exemption
from
tolerance
and
an
assertion
of
facts
(
supported
by
data
if
available)
showing
that
new
uses
for
the
pesticide
chemical
have
been
developed
or
old
uses
abandoned,
that
new
data
are
available
as
to
toxicity
of
the
chemical,
or
that
experience
with
the
application
of
the
tolerance
or
exemption
from
tolerance
may
justify
its
modification
or
revocation.
Evidence
that
a
person
has
registered
or
has
submitted
an
application
for
the
registration
of
a
pesticide
under
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act
will
be
regarded
as
evidence
that
the
person
has
a
substantial
interest
in
a
tolerance
or
exemption
from
the
requirement
of
a
tolerance
for
a
pesticide
chemical
that
consists
in
whole
or
in
part
of
the
pesticide.
New
data
should
be
furnished
in
the
form
specified
in
§
180.7(
b)
for
submitting
petitions,
as
applicable.

§
180.34
Tests
on
the
amount
of
residue
remaining.

(
a)
Data
in
a
petition
on
the
amount
of
residue
remaining
in
or
on
a
raw
agricultural
commodity
should
establish
the
residue
that
may
remain
when
the
pesticide
chemical
is
applied
according
to
directions
registered
under
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act,
or
according
to
directions
contained
in
an
application
for
registration.
These
data
should
establish
the
residues
that
may
remain
under
conditions
most
likely
to
result
in
high
residues
on
the
commodity.

(
b)
The
petition
should
establish
the
reliability
of
the
residue
data
reported
in
it.
Sufficient
information
should
be
submitted
about
the
analytical
method
to
permit
competent
analysts
to
apply
it
successfully.

(
c)
If
the
pesticide
chemical
is
absorbed
into
a
living
plant
or
animal
when
applied
(
is
systemic),
residue
data
may
be
needed
on
each
plant
or
animal
on
which
a
tolerance
or
exemption
is
requested.

(
d)
If
the
pesticide
chemical
is
not
absorbed
into
the
living
plant
or
animal
when
applied
(
is
not
systemic),
it
may
be
possible
to
make
a
reliable
estimate
of
the
residues
to
be
expected
on
each
commodity
in
a
group
of
related
commodities
on
the
basis
of
less
data
than
would
be
required
for
each
commodity
in
the
group,
considered
separately.

(
e)
Each
of
the
following
groups
of

§
180.35
Tests
for
potentiation.

Experiments
have
shown
that
certain
cholinesterase­
inhibiting
pesticides
when
fed
together
to
test
animals
are
more
toxic
than
the
sum
of
their
individual
toxicities
when
fed
separately.
One
substance
potentiates
the
toxicity
of
the
other.
Important
toxicological
interactions
also
have
been
observed
between
pesticides
and
other
substances.
Wherever
there
is
reason
to
believe
that
a
pesticide
chemical
for
which
a
tolerance
is
proposed
may
interact
with
other
pesticide
chemicals
or
other
substances
to
which
man
is
exposed,
it
may
be
necessary
to
require
special
experimental
data
regarding
potentiation
capacities
to
evaluate
the
safety
of
the
proposed
tolerance.
This
necessarily
will
be
determined
on
a
case­
by­
case
basis.

§
180.40
Tolerances
for
crop
groups.

(
a)
Group
or
subgroup
tolerances
may
be
established
as
a
result
of:

(
1)
A
petition
from
a
person
who
has
submitted
an
application
for
the
registration
of
a
pesticide
under
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act.

(
2)
On
the
initiative
of
the
Administrator.

(
3)
A
petition
by
an
interested
person.
(
b)
The
tables
in
§
180.41
are
to
be
used
in
conjunction
with
this
section
for
the
establishment
of
crop
group
tolerances.
Each
table
in
§
180.41
lists
a
group
of
raw
agricultural
commodities
that
are
considered
to
be
related
for
the
purposes
of
this
section.
Refer
also
to
§
180.1(
h)
for
a
listing
of
commodities
for
which
established
tolerances
may
be
applied
to
certain
other
related
and
similar
commodities.

(
c)
When
there
is
an
established
or
proposed
tolerance
for
all
of
the
representative
commodities
for
a
specific
group
or
subgroup
of
related
commodities,
a
tolerance
may
be
established
for
all
commodities
in
the
associated
group
or
subgroup.
Tolerances
may
be
established
for
a
crop
group
or,
alternatively,
tolerances
may
be
established
for
one
or
more
of
the
subgroups
of
a
crop
group.

(
d)
The
representative
crops
are
given
as
an
indication
of
the
minimum
residue
chemistry
data
base
acceptable
to
the
Agency
for
the
purposes
of
establishing
a
group
tolerance.
The
Agency
may,
at
its
discretion,
allow
group
tolerances
when
data
on
suitable
substitutes
for
the
representative
crops
are
available
(
e.
g.,
limes
instead
of
lemons).

(
e)
Since
a
group
tolerance
reflects
maximum
residues
likely
to
occur
on
all
individual
crops
within
a
group,
the
proposed
or
registered
patterns
of
use
for
all
crops
in
the
group
or
subgroup
must
be
similar
before
a
group
tolerance
is
established.
The
pattern
of
use
consists
of
the
amount
of
pesticide
applied,
the
number
of
times
applied,
the
timing
of
the
first
application,
the
interval
between
applications,
and
the
interval
between
the
last
application
and
harvest.
The
pattern
of
use
will
also
include
the
type
of
application;
for
example,
soil
or
foliar
application,
or
application
by
ground
or
aerial
equipment.

(
f)
When
the
crop
grouping
contains
commodities
or
byproducts
that
are
utilized
for
animal
feed,
any
needed
tolerance
or
exemption
from
a
tolerance
for
the
pesticide
in
meat,
milk,
poultry
and/
or
eggs
must
be
established
before
a
tolerance
will
be
granted
for
the
group
as
a
whole.
The
representative
crops
include
all
crops
in
the
group
that
could
be
processed
such
that
residues
may
concentrate
in
processed
food
and/
or
feed.
Processing
data
will
be
required
prior
to
establishment
of
a
group
tolerance.
Tolerances
will
not
be
granted
on
a
group
basis
as
to
processed
foods
prepared
from
crops
covered
by
the
group
tolerance.

(
g)
If
maximum
residues
(
tolerances)
for
the
representative
crops
vary
by
more
than
a
factor
of
5
from
the
maximum
value
observed
for
any
crop
in
the
group,
a
group
or
subgroup
tolerance
will
ordinarily
not
be
established.
In
this
case
individual
crop
tolerances,
rather
than
group
tolerances,
will
normally
be
established.

(
h)
Alternatively,
a
commodity
with
a
residue
level
significantly
higher
or
lower
than
the
other
commodities
in
a
group
may
be
excluded
from
the
group
tolerance
(
e.
g.,
cereal
grains,
except
corn).
In
this
case
an
individual
tolerance
at
the
appropriate
level
for
the
unique
commodity
would
be
established,
if
necessary.
The
alternative
approach
of
excluding
a
commodity
with
a
significantly
higher
or
lower
residue
level
will
not
be
used
to
establish
a
tolerance
for
a
commodity
subgroup.
Most
subgroups
have
only
two
representative
commodities;
to
exclude
one
such
commodity
and
its
related
residue
data
would
likely
provide
insufficient
residue
information
to
support
the
remainder
of
the
subgroup.
Residue
data
from
crops
additional
to
those
representative
crops
in
a
grouping
may
be
required
for
systemic
pesticides.

(
i)
The
commodities
included
in
the
groups
will
be
updated
periodically
either
at
the
initiative
of
the
Agency
or
at
the
request
of
an
interested
party.
Persons
interested
in
updating
this
section
should
contact
the
Registration
Division
of
the
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs.

(
j)
Establishment
of
a
tolerance
does
not
substitute
for
the
additional
need
to
register
the
pesticide
under
a
companion
law,
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act.
The
Registration
Division
of
the
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs
should
be
contacted
concerning
procedures
for
registration
of
new
uses
of
a
pesticide.

be
used
in
conjunction
with
§
180.40
to
establish
crop
group
tolerances.

(

Commodities
not
listed
are
not
considered
as
included
in
the
groups
for
the
purposes
of
this
paragraph,
and

must
be
established.
Miscellaneous
commodities
intentionally
not
included
in
any

Each
group
is
identified
by
a
group
name
and
consists
of
a
list
of
representative
commodities
followed
by
a
list
of
all
commodity
members
for
the
group.
If
the
group
includes
subgroups,
each
subgroup
lists
the
subgroup
name,
the
representative
commodity
or
commodities,
and
the
member
commodities
for
the
subgroup.
Subgroups,
which
are
a
subset
of
their
associated
crop
group,
are
established
for
some
but
not
all
