final rule cyhexatin tolerance actions available in english 3 pages epa is revoking all existing tolerances for residues of the insecticide acaricide cyhexatin. epa canceled food use registrations for cyhexatin in 1989. currently epa determined that acute dietary risks from use of cyhexatin on commodities for which import tolerances exist exceed the agencys level of concern. however epa also determined that if the only cyhexatin tolerance is for orange juice there is a reasonable certainty that no harm to any population subgrou will result from exposure to cyhexatin treated oranges. epa is also establishing concurrent with the revocation of the citrus fruit grou tolerance an individual time-limited tolerance on orange juice. epa establishes a tolerance for fruit citrus at 2 parts per million ppm a tolerance on orange juice should be established at 0.1ppm. epa is establishing an individual time-limited tolerance for combined residues of cyhexatin and its organotin metabolites calculated as cyhexatin in orange juice at 0.1 ppm with an expiration revocation date of 13june2009 i.e. the time-limited tolerance will be established for a period of 4 years from the tred completion date of 13june2005 in order to allow sufficient time for the agency to issue a data call-in request the manufacturers to submit the needed data and for the agency to review it. after reviewing the available data epa will decide whether there is sufficient data to support the orange juice tolerance as a permanent one. if the requisite information is not submitted epa may issue an order revoking the tolerance at issue or allow the time-limited tolerance to expire. without a tolerance or exemption food containing pesticide residues is considered to be unsafe and therefore adulterated. such food may not be distributed in interstate commerce 21 u.s.c. 331 a . food-use pesticides not registered in the united states must have tolerances in order for commodities treated with those pesticides to be imported into the united states
