Amended Filings
PP 8F2128. In the Federal Register of November 7, 1978 (43 FR 53816) EPA issued a notice that the Monsanto Company, 700 14th Street, Suite 1100, Washington, DC 200025, had proposed to amend 40 CFR 180.314 by establishing a tolerance for the combined residues of the herbicide triallate (S-(2,3,3-trichloroallyl) diisopropylthiocarbamate) in or on raw agricultural commodities sugarbeets, sugarbeet tops, soybeans, soybean forage, and hay all at 0.05 ppm. In the Federal Register of September 13, 1995 (60 FR 47579) (FRL-4975-3), EPA issued an amended notice of filing amending the petition to propose that tolerances with regional registration be established for triallate and its metabolites 2,3,3-trichloro-2-propene sulfonic acid and expressed as parent equivalent in or on the raw agricultural commodities sugarbeet roots at 0.05 ppm and sugarbeet foliage at 0.5 ppm. Monsanto is amending this petition to propose that tolerances with regional restriction be established for residues of S-2,3,3-trichloroallyl diisopropylthiocarbamate and its metabolite, 2,3,3,-trichloro-2-propene sulfonic acid, expressed as parent equivalent, in or on the following raw agricultural commodities sugarbeet roots at 0.1 ppm and sugarbeet foliage at 0.5 ppm. Also proposed is the
establishment of a maximum residue limit (MRL) of 0.2 ppm for dried sugarbeet pulp under section 701 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for residues of S-2,3,3-trichloroallyl diisopropylthiocarbamate and its metabolite, 2,3,3-trichloro-2-propene sulfonic acid.
