USA established pesticide tolerances for various pesticides This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of: Cyromazine- in or on multiple commodities which are Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 4-16B; Celtuce; Chickpea, edible podded; Chickpea, succulent shelled; Dwarf pea, edible podded; Edible podded pea, edible podded; English pea, succulent shelled; Fennel, Florence, fresh leaves and stalk; Garden pea, succulent shelled; Grass-pea, edible podded; Green pea, edible podded; Green pea, succulent shelled; Kohlrabi; Leaf petiole vegetable subgroup 22B; Leafy greens subgroup 4-16A; Lentil, edible podded; Lentil, succulent shelled; Onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A; Onion, green, subgroup 3-07B; Onion, potato; Pepper/eggplant subgroup 8-10B; Pigeon pea, edible podded; Pigeon pea, succulent shelled; Snap pea, edible podded; Snow pea, edible podded; Sugar snap pea, edible podded; Tomato subgroup 8-10A; Vegetable, brassica, head and stem, group 5-16, except broccoli; Vegetable, tuberous and corm, subgroup 1C Clothianidin- in or on rice, grain. This action is in response to EPA's granting of an emergency exemption under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of thiamethoxam on rice. Emergency use of thiamethoxam on rice results in potential clothianidin (a major metabolite of thiamethoxam) residues that when combined with the residues from legal use of clothianidin on rice, require an increase in the tolerance for residues of clothianidin in rice. Although there is an existing regulation establishing a maximum permissible level for residues of clothianidin in or on rice, grain at 0.01 ppm, this rule would establish a new, time-limited maximum permissible level at 0.5 ppm for clothianidin in or on rice, grain. The time-limited tolerance expires on 31 December 2024. This action is also associated with the utilization of a crisis exemption under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of thiamethoxam on rice. Chlorantraniliprole- in or on palm, oil. Furilazole- in or on sweet corn commodities.
