180.422—Tralomethrin; tolerances for residues.
(a) General.
(1)
Tolerances are established for the combined residues of the pesticide chemical tralomethrin ((S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1R ,3S )-2,2-dimethyl-3-[(RS )-1,2,2,2-tetrabromoethyl]-cyclopropanecarboxylate) and its metabolites (S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1R ,3R )-3(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropanecarboxylate and (S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl(1S ,3R )-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropanecarboxylate calculated as the parent in or on the following food commodities:
| Commodity | Parts per million |
|---|---|
| Broccoli | 0.5 |
| Cotton, undelinted seed | 0.02 |
| Cotton, oil | 0.20 |
| Lettuce, head | 1.00 |
| Lettuce, leaf | 3.00 |
| Soybean | 0.05 |

(2)
A tolerance of 0.02 part per million is established for the combined residues of the insecticide tralomethrin ((S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-(1R ,3S )-2,2-dimethyl-3-[(RS)-1,2,2,2-tetrabromoethyl] cyclopropanecarboxylate) and its metabolites cis -deltamethrin [(S-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-(1R ,3R )-3-[2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] and trans-deltamethrin [(S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1S ,3R )-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] as follows:
(i)
In or on food commodities (other than those covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in food-handling establishments.
(ii)
The insecticide may be present as a residue from application of tralomethrin in food-handling establishments, including food service, manufacturing, and processing establishments, such as restaurants, cafeterias, supermarkets, bakeries, breweries, dairies, meat slaughtering and packing plants, and canneries in accordance with the following prescribed conditions:
(A)
Application shall be limited to a general surface and spot and/or crack and crevice treatment in food-handling establishments where food and food products are held, processed, prepared, and served. General surface application may be used only when the facility is not in operation provided exposed food has been covered or removed from the area being treated. All food-contact surfaces and equipment must be thoroughly cleaned after general surface applications. Spot and/or crack and crevice application may be used while the facility is in operation provided exposed food is covered or removed from the area being treated prior to application. Spray concentration shall be limited to a maximum of 0.06 percent active ingredient. Contamination of food and food-contact surfaces shall be avoided.
(B)
To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labelling shall conform to that registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and shall be used in accordance with such label and labelling.
(3)
A tolerance of 0.02 part per million is established for the combined residues of the insecticide tralomethrin ((S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-(1R ,3S )-2,2-dimethyl-3-[(RS )-1,2,2,2-tetrabromoethyl] cyclopropanecarboxylate) and its metabolites cis -deltamethrin [(S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-(1R ,3R )-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] and trans -deltamethrin [(S )-alpha -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1S ,3R )-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate as follows:
(i)
In or on all feed items (other than those covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in feed-handling establishments.
(ii)
The insecticide may be present as a residue from application of tralomethrin in feed-handling establishments, including feed manufacturing and processing establishments in accordance with the following prescribed conditions:
(A)
Application shall be limited to a general surface and spot and/or crack and crevice treatment in feed-handling establishments where feed and feed products are held or processed. General surface application may be used only when the facility is not in operation provided exposed feed has been covered or removed from the area being treated. All feed-contact surfaces and equipment must be thoroughly cleaned after general surface applications. Spot and/or crack and crevice application may be used while the facility is in operation provided exposed feed is covered or removed from the area being treated prior to application. Spray concentration shall be limited to a maximum of 0.06 percent active ingredient. Contamination of feed and feed- contact surfaces shall be avoided.
(B)
To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labelling shall conform to that registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and shall be used in accordance with such label and labelling.
