SECTION 180.607
180.607 Spiromesifen; tolerances for residues.
§ 180.607 Spiromesifen; tolerances for residues.(a) General. (1) Tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide/miticide spiromesifen, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of spiromesifen [2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate] and 4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of spiromesifen, in or on the following primary crop commodities:
| Commodity | Parts per million |
|---|---|
| Bean, dry | 0.02 |
| Bean, edible podded | 0.80 |

| Spearmint, tops | 45 |
| Tea, dry | 40 |
| Tomato, paste | 0.80 |
| Vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 | 0.10 |
| Vegetable, fruiting, group 8 | 0.45 |

(2) Tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide/miticide spiromesifen, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of spiromesifen [2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate] and its metabolites containing the 4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one and 4-hydroxy-3-[4-(hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl]-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one moieties, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of spiromesifen, in the following livestock commodities:
| Commodity | Parts per million |
|---|---|
| Cattle, fat | 0.10 |
| Cattle, meat | 0.02 |
| Cattle, meat byproducts | 0.20 |
| Goat, fat | 0.10 |
| Goat, meat | 0.02 |
| Goat, meat byproducts | 0.20 |
| Horse, fat | 0.10 |
| Horse, meat | 0.02 |
| Horse, meat byproducts | 0.20 |
| Milk | 0.01 |
| Milk, fat | 0.25 |
| Sheep, fat | 0.10 |
| Sheep, meat | 0.02 |
| Sheep, meat byproducts | 0.20 |
(b) Section 18 emergency exemptions. Time-limited tolerances specified in the following table are established for residues of the insecticide/miticide spiromesifen, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of spiromesifen [2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate] and 4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of spiromesifen, in or on the specified agricultural commodities, resulting from use of the pesticide pursuant to FIFRA section 18 emergency exemptions. The tolerances expire and are revoked on the date specified in the table.
| Commodity | Parts per million | Expiration/revocation date |
|---|---|---|
| Soybean, forage | 30 | 12/31/14 |
| Soybean, hay | 86 | 12/31/14 |
| Soybean, seed | 0.02 | 12/31/14 |
(c) Tolerances with regional registrations. [Reserved]
(d) Indirect or inadvertent residues. Tolerances are established for the inadvertent or indirect residues of the insecticide/miticide spiromesifen, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of spiromesifen [2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate], 4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one, and its metabolites containing the 4-hydroxy-3-[4-(hydroxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylphenyl]-1-oxaspiro[4.4]non-3-en-2-one moiety, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of spiromesifen, in the following rotational crop commodities:
