| 6. | Description of content: Tolerances are established for residues of acequinocyl, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table in paragraph (a) of Sec. 180.599. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified in the table of paragraph (a) of Sec. 180.599 is to be determined by measuring only the sum of acequinocyl [2-(acetyloxy)-3-dodecyl-1,4-naphthalenedione] and its metabolite, 2-dodecyl-3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of acequinocyl, in or on soybean, vegetable, succulent at 0.25 ppm; berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G at 0.50 ppm; fruit, small vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F at 1.6 ppm; bean, succulent shelled at 0.30 ppm; cowpea, forage at 6.0 ppm; cowpea, hay at 18 ppm; caneberry subgroup 13-07A at 4.0 ppm; melon subgroup 9A at 0.15 ppm; cucumber at 0.15 ppm; cherry, tart at 1.0 ppm; cherry, sweet at 0.50; cattle, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm; goat, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm; horse, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm; and sheep, meat byproducts at 0.02 ppm. This regulation additionally removes established tolerances in or on grape at 1.6 ppm; strawberry at 0.40 ppm; cattle, liver at 0.02 ppm; goat, liver at 0.02 ppm; horse, liver at 0.02 ppm; and sheep, liver at 0.02 ppm. |

| 9. | Other relevant documents and language(s) in which these are available: In the Federal Register of 20 July 2011 (76 FR 43231) (FRL-8880-1), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 1E7864) by IR-4, 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.599 be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of the miticide acequinocyl, [2-(acetyloxy)-3-dodecyl-1,4-naphthalenedione] and its metabolite, 2-dodecyl-3-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, expressed as acequinocyl equivalents, in or on bean, succulent shelled at 0.15 parts per million (ppm); caneberry subgroup 13-07A at 4.5 ppm; cherry at 0.8 ppm; cowpea, forage at 9.0 ppm; cucumber at 0.15 ppm; melon subgroup 9A at 0.06 ppm; soybean, vegetable, succulent at 0.25 ppm; fruit, small vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F at 1.6 ppm; and berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G at 0.4 ppm. The petition additionally requested that 40 CFR 180.599 be amended by removing the established tolerances for residues of acequinocyl in or on grape at 1.6 ppm and strawberry at 0.4 ppm, as they will be superseded by inclusion in subgroup 13-07F and 13-07G, respectively. That notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared on behalf of IR-4 by Arysta LifeScience North America LLC, the registrant, which is available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov.
