TOLERANCES AND EXEMPTIONS FROM TOLERANCES FOR PESTICIDE CHEMICALS IN OR ON RAW AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES
Exemptions From Tolerances
Sec. 180.1001 Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance.
(a) An exemption from a tolerance shall be granted when it appears
that the total quantity of the pesticide chemical in or on all raw
agricultural commodities for which it is useful under conditions of use
currently prevailing or proposed will involve no hazard to the public
health.
(b) When applied to growing crops, in accordance with good
agricultural practice, the following pesticide chemicals are exempt from
the requirement of a tolerance:
(1) The following copper compounds: Bordeaux mixture, copper
acetate, basic copper carbonate (malachite), copper hydroxide, copper-
lime mixtures, copper linoleate, copper oleate, copper oxychloride,
copper sulfate basic, copper sulfate monohydrate, copper sulfate
pentahydrate, copper-zinc chromate, cupric oxide, cuprous oxide. These
copper compounds are used primarily as fungicides.
(2) N-Octylbicyclo(2,2,1)-5-heptene-2,3-dicarboximide.
(3) Petroleum oils.
(4) Piperonyl butoxide.
(5) [Reserved]
(6) N-Propyl isomer.
(7) Pyrethrum and pyrethrins.
(8) Rotenone or derris or cube roots.
(9) Ryania.
(10) Sabadilla.
These pesticides are not exempted from the requirement of a
tolerance when applied to a crop at the time of or after harvest.
(c) Residues of the following materials are exempted from the
requirement of a tolerance when used in accordance with good
agricultural practice as inert (or occasionally active) ingredients in
pesticide formulations applied to growing crops or to raw agricultural
commodities after harvest:
