The intent of this network is to inform interested parties of new pesticide uses, impending pesticide use cancellations, tolerance revocations, and other items of agricultural interest. Questions and comments may be directed to your State Liaison Representative (on our web page) for the Pesticide Impact Assessment Program (PIAP) or Kent Smith at 202-720-3186, fax 202-720-3191, email ksmith@ars.usda.gov, or consult our homepage for OPMP and PIAP at http://ipmwww.ncsu.edu/usdanapiap/.
EPA is soliciting comments on its proposal to publish the fiscal year 1999 (FY99) workplan for the Registration Division (RD). The EPA proposes to increase the transparency of the registration process by publishing the RD's proposed FY99 workplan.
A transparent registration workplan would allow opportunities for harmonization of registration work with other pesticide regulatory agencies. EPA also believes that publishing this workplan would provide important information to growers, crop consultants, researchers, states, and the general public. The EPA would like to know of any other benefits or disadvantages to publishing its workplan.

EPA proposes to revoke the tolerances for ALMOND hulls, AVOCADOS, CITRUS, FIGS, and MANGOES listed in 40 CFR 180.231 because no registered dichlobenil use exists on these crops. The tolerance for NUTS is proposed for revocation to be replaced by a tolerance for FILBERTS because the use of dichlobenil on all other nuts has been canceled. Other tolerances may be raised or lowered but not removed. These regulatory actions are part of EPA's tolerance reassessment program required under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).
EPA will not revoke any tolerance proposed for revocation if any person demonstrates a need for the tolerance to cover residues in or on imported commodities or domestic commodities legally treated, and if retention of the tolerance will meet the tolerance standard established under FQPA.
Dichlobenil is a selective herbicide used on APPLES, BLACKBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, CHERRIES, CRANBERRIES, DICHONDRA, FILBERTS, GRAPES, HYBRID POPLAR-COTTONWOOD, ORNAMENTALS, PEARS, and RASPBERRIES. It is manufactured by Uniroyal Chemical Company.

EPA proposes to revoke the tolerance for LENTIL vine hay that is listed in 40 CFR 180.332 because LENTIL vine hay is no longer considered a significant livestock feed commodity; therefore, a tolerance is not necessary. Modifications to other existing tolerances are planned but no other revocations are expected. These regulatory actions are part of EPA's tolerance reassessment program required under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).
EPA will not revoke any tolerance proposed for revocation if any person demonstrates a need for the tolerance to cover residues in or on imported commodities or domestic commodities legally treated, and if retention of the tolerance will meet the tolerance standard established under FQPA.
Metribuzin is an herbicide used to control broadleaf and grassy weed species on a wide range of crop and non-crop sites, including ALFALFA, ASPARAGUS, BARLEY, CARROTS, CORN, GARBANZO BEANS, LENTILS, PEAS, POTATOES, SOYBEANS, SUGARCANE, TOMATOES, WHEAT, fallow land, and TURFGRASSES. It is manufactured by Bayer Corporation.

EPA proposes to revoke the tolerance for pendimethalin on PEANUT forage listed under 40 CFR 180.361 because it is no longer considered a significant livestock feed commodity; therefore, a tolerance is not necessary. Other modifications to existing tolerances are planned but no other revocations are expected. These regulatory actions are part of EPA's tolerance reassessment program required under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).
EPA will not revoke any tolerance proposed for revocation if any person demonstrates a need for the tolerance to cover residues in or on imported commodities or domestic commodities legally treated, and if retention of the tolerance will meet the tolerance standard established under FQPA.

EPA proposes to revoke the only tolerance for sulprofos which is on COTTONSEED oil listed under 40 CFR 185.3000 because the registrant voluntarily canceled its registered use. These regulatory actions are part of EPA's tolerance reassessment program required under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).
EPA will not revoke any tolerance proposed for revocation if any person demonstrates a need for the tolerance to cover residues in or on imported commodities or domestic commodities legally treated, and if retention of the tolerance will meet the tolerance standard established under FQPA.
Sulprofos was once used on COTTON. It was manufactured by Bayer Corporation.

EPA proposes to revoke the tolerances for terbacil on PEARS, PECANS, andSAINFOIN forage and hay listed in 40 CFR 180.209 because no registered uses exist for terbacil on these sites. They are also proposing to revoke all the livestock tolerances (fat, meat, and meat byproducts of CATTLE, GOATS, HOGS, HORSES, and SHEEP; and milk fat) because there is no reasonable expectation of finite terbacil residues in animal commodities since available data support the establishment of lower ALFALFA tolerances. Other modifications to existing tolerances are planned but no other revocations are expected. These regulatory actions are part of EPA's tolerance reassessment program required under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).
EPA will not revoke any tolerance proposed for revocation if any person demonstrates a need for the tolerance to cover residues in or on imported commodities or domestic commodities legally treated, and if retention of the tolerance will meet the tolerance standard established under FQPA.
Terbacil is an herbicide used ALFALFA, APPLES, ASPARAGUS, BLUEBERRIES,CANEBERRIES, MINT, PEACHES, POPLAR HYBRIDS, SUGARCANE and TURFGRASS seed crops. It is manufactured by Dupont.
