Tolerances are established for the residues of the fungicide metconazole, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on commodities in the following table. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified in the table is to be determined by measuring only metconazole, 5-[(4-chlorophenyl)-methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1-(1H -1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)cyclopentanol) as the sum of its cis- and trans- isomers in or on the following commodities:
| Commodity | Parts per million |
|---|---|
| Canola seed | 0.04 |
| Corn, field, forage | 3.0 |
| Corn, field, grain | 0.02 |
| Corn, field, stover | 4.5 |
| Corn, pop, grain | 0.02 |
| Corn, pop, stover | 4.5 |
| Corn, sweet, forage | 3.0 |
| Corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husks removed | 0.01 |
| Corn, sweet, stover | 4.5 |
| Cotton, gin byproducts | 8.0 |
| Cotton, undelinted seed | 0.25 |
| Egg | 0.04 |
(b) emergency exemptions.
Time-limited tolerances are established for the residues of the fungicide metconazole, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed in the following table in connection with the use of the pesticide under section 18 emergency exemptions granted by EPA. The tolerances expire and are revoked on the dates specified in the following table. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only metconazole (5-[(4-chlorophenyl)-methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1-(1H -1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)cyclopentanol) as the sum of its cis- and trans-isomers in or on the following commodities:
| Commodity | Parts per million | Expiration/revocation date |
|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane, cane | 1.6 | 12/31/11 |
| Sugarcane, molasses | 3.2 | 12/31/11 |
