for
propiconazole,
formulated
as
a
3.6
lb/
gal
emulsifiable
concentrate
(
EC)
or
a
45%

The
proposed
uses
are
for

foliar
applications
using
ground
or
aerial
equipment
at
rates
ranging
from
0.11
to
0.28
lb

for
a
total
of
0.90
lb

the
proposed
uses
are
for
3

at
0.113
lb
ai/
A,
for
a
total
of
0.225
ai/

the
proposed
use
is
for
a
single
application
or
split
applications
at
heading
totaling
~
0.30
lb
ai/
A,
with
a
PHI
of
35

For
other
cereal
grains,
the
proposed
uses
are
for
2

at
0.113
lb
ai/

up
to
heading
or
grain
development,
for
totals
of
0.22
or
0.45
ai/
A,
with
PHIs
of
14­
45
days.
In
conjunction
with
these
uses,
Syngenta
and
IR­
4
are
proposing
permanent
tolerances
for
propiconazole
residues
in/
on
various
plant
commodities
at
levels
ranging
from
0.1
ppm
on
alfalfa
to
32
ppm
on
soybean
hay.

The
nature
of
propiconazole
residues
in
plants
and
animals
is
adequately
understood
based
on
the
available
peanut,
wheat,
grape,
rice,
celery,
carrot,
goat,
and
poultry
metabolism
studies.
A
major
metabolic
pathway
in
plants
appears
to
be
hydroxylation
(
primarily
of
the
beta­
carbon)
of
the
n­
propyl
group
on
the
dioxolane
ring
of
the
cis/
trans
isomers
of
propiconazole.
These
metabolites
appear
to
readily
form
sugar
conjugates.
The
majority
of
TRR
was
found
in
the
stalks,
such
as
peanut
stalk,
wheat
forage
and
straw,
grape
leaves,
and
celery
stalks.
The
HED
MARC
concluded
that
for
plants
and
animals,
residues
of
propiconazole
and
all
its
metabolites
containing
the
2,4­
dichlorophenyl
moiety
(
2,4­
DCBA),
including
conjugates,
are
of
concern
and
should
be
included
in
the
dietary
(
food)
risk
assessments,
and
that
propiconazole
per
se
should
be
included
in
the
dietary
(
water)
risk
assessments.
For
tolerance
expression,
MARC
concluded
that
the
current
tolerance
expression
for
propiconazole
should
be
amended
to
include
residues
of
propiconazole
per
se
only.
This
allows
for
harmonization
with
the
residue
definition
for
Codex.

The
free
triazole,
triazole
alanine,
and
triazole
acetic
acid
are
also
residues
of
concern.
Since
these
are
common
metabolites
from
several
triazole
containing
pesticides,
the
risk
assessment
for
Propiconazole

triazoles
has
been
assessed
separately
(
HED
memo
of
2/
7/
06,
M.
Doherty,
D322215).
The
cited
assessment
included
all
the
proposed
propiconazole
new
uses
in
the
subject
petitions.

For
enforcing
the
revised
tolerances,
a
GC
method
using
flame
ionization
detection
(
Method
AG­
354)
is
also
available
for
determining
residues
of
propiconazole
per
se
in/
on
plant
commodities,
and
has
an
LOQ
of
0.05
ppm.
In
addition,
Multiresidue
Methods
Section
302
can
also
be
used
to
determine
parent
propiconazole
in
both
plant
and
animal
matrices.

Samples
from
the
various
field
trials
and
processing
studies
supporting
the
current
petitions
were
analyzed
for
combined
residues
of
propiconazole
and
its
2,4­
DCBA
containing
metabolites
using
GC/
ECD
Methods
AG­
454B
and
AG­
626,
which
are
more
recent
versions
of
AG­
454A.
With
the
exception
of
almond
hulls,
which
had
a
LOQ
of
0.1
ppm,
the
validated
LOQ
for
combined
residues
was
0.05
ppm
in
all
raw
and
processed
commodities.
Each
of
the
methods
was
validated
in
conjunction
with
the
field
trials
and
processing
studies.
In
addition,
samples
from
one
of
the
wheat
field
trials
and
processing
studies
were
also
analyzed
for
residues
of
propiconazole,
per
se,
using
a
multiresidue
method
from
the
Pesticide
Analytical
Manual
(
PAM,
Vol.
I,
Section
302).

Adequate
storage
stability
data
are
available
indicating
that
residues
of
propiconazole
are
stable
at
 ­
15
º
C
for
up
to
36
months
in
peaches,
bananas,
corn
meal,
wheat
grain,
celery,
corn
oil,
and
peanut
nutmeat,
hay,
and
hulls;
10
months
in
carrots;
and
4­
6
months
in
soybean
seed
and
fodder.
Weathered
residues
of
propiconazole
and
its
metabolites
were
also
found
to
be
stable
under
frozen
storage
conditions
in
grass
forage,
straw,
and
seed
for
up
to
39
months
at
­
20
º
C;
wild
rice
and
stone
fruits
for
up
to
25
months;
and
peanut
hulls
and
fodder
for
25
months
at
­
15
º
C.
These
data
support
most
of
the
samples
storage
intervals
and
conditions
in
the
field
trials
and
processing
studies
submitted
with
the
current
petitions.
In
cases
where
existing
storage
stability
data
are
not
available,
concurrent
storage
stability
data
were
submitted
along
with
field
trials.

Provided
that
minor
changes
are
made
to
the
proposed
use
directions,
the
available
field
trial
data
on
almonds,
bush
and
cane
berries,
carrots,
celery,
corn,
cranberries,
mint,
onions,
pecans,
rice,
sorghum,
strawberries
and
wheat
are
adequate
and
support
the
proposed
use
patterns
for
propiconazole
(
EC
or
WP)
on
these
crops.
The
number
and
geographic
distribution
of
the
field
trials
are
adequate,
and
the
appropriate
samples
were
collected.
Samples
were
analyzed
using
adequate
analytical
methods
and
the
sample
storage
intervals
are
supported
by
the
available
storage
stability
data.
Side­
by­
side
field
trials
were
conducted
on
almond,
celery,
field
corn,
and
sugar
beets
to
compare
residues
from
the
EC
and
WP
formulation.
These
data
show
residues
are
comparable
from
the
two
products,
with
the
exception
of
sugar
beet
tops
at
the
requested
PHI.

Adequate
field
trial
data
are
also
available
to
support
the
use
of
the
45%
WP
formulation
on
sugar
beets.
However,
based
on
the
results
of
the
side­
by­
side
tests
with
the
WP
and
EC
formulations,
residues
in/
on
tops
at
the
proposed
21­
day
PHI
are
likely
to
be
higher
for
the
EC
formulation
than
the
WP
formulation.
Therefore,
a
complete
set
of
field
trial
data
are
required
for
sugar
beet
tops
reflecting
the
use
of
the
EC
formulation.
A
conditional
registration
can
be
established
on
sugar
beet
tops.

For
soybeans,
after
considering
all
the
available
soybean
field
trial
data,
HED
concluded
that
sufficient
residue
data
are
available
to
support
tolerances
on
soybean
forage
and
hay
harvested
30
days
following
the
second
of
two
applications
totaling
0.33
lb
ai/
A
(
1x
rate).
Although
the
petitioner
has
requested
tolerances
for
soybean
forage
and
hay,
the
Agency
notes
that
the
currently
proposed
use
directions
for
soybean
prohibit
the
feeding
or
grazing
for
forage
or
hay.
HED
also
considers
sufficient
residue
data
are
available
to
support
tolerances
on
soybean
seed,
even
though
the
PHIs
of
the
soybean
seed
data
varies
from
30
to
90
days.
Since
soybean
mature
at
different
times
depending
on
the
growing
regions,
PHI
in
days
can
vary
from
region
to
region;
therefore,
provided
the
label
has
such
language
as
"
do
not
apply
later
than
the
R5
growth
stage'
or
`
apply
up
to
Stage
R6",
no
additional
field
trials
are
required
for
soybean
seeds.

For
dry
peas
and
beans,
however,
there
are
no
sufficient
field
trial
data
to
support
the
proposed
use
as
only
six
dry
bean
field
trials
are
available
and
no
dry
pea
field
trials
were
conducted.
For
a
subgroup
crop
tolerance
on
6C,
a
total
of
12
dry
bean
field
trials
and
5
dry
pea
field
trials
are
required.
In
addition,
the
available
dry
bean
field
trials
support
a
PHI
of
28
days
rather
than
the
14­
day
PHI
on
the
proposed
label.
HED
recommends
against
the
establishment
of
permanent
tolerance
on
subgroup
crop
6C
until
additional
field
trial
data
are
submitted.

The
Agency's
Guidance
for
Setting
Pesticide
Tolerances
Based
on
Field
Trial
Data
(
tolerance
spread
sheet)
was
utilized
for
determining
appropriate
tolerance
levels
on
plant
commodities.
While
these
tolerance/
residue
levels
are
suitable
for
Tier
I
dietary
risk
assessment,
they
are
considered
conservative
for
tolerances
in
that
the
field
trial
data
were
reported
as
parent
plus
all
metabolites
containing
2,4­
DCBA,
while
the
tolerance
expression
is
parent
only.
HED
recommends
that
the
registrant
analyze
parent
and
metabolites
separately
in
all
future
field
trials,
so
that
more
realistic
tolerances
can
be
set
in
the
future.

Adequate
processing
studies
are
available
for
alfalfa
(
rotational
crop),
field
corn,
mint,
rice,
sorghum,
soybean,
sugar
beet,
and
wheat.
These
studies
indicate
that,
with
the
exception
of
aspirated
grain
fractions
(
AGF),
combined
propiconazole
residues
did
not
concentrate
in
processed
commodities
derived
from
alfalfa,
field
corn,
mint,
sorghum,
and
soybeans,
or
in
polished
rice,
sugar
beet
refined
sugar,
or
wheat
germ,
shorts,
middlings
and
flour.
However,
combined
residues
were
shown
to
concentrate
in
rice
hulls
(
3.8x)
and
bran
(
2.9x),
sugar
beet
molasses
(
7.4x)
and
dried
pulp
(
4.9x),
and
wheat
bran
(
3.2x).
Considering
the
highest
average
field
trial
(
HAFT)
residues
in
the
various
RACs
and
the
above
processing
factors,
appropriate
tolerances
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
are
20
and
15
ppm
for
rice
hulls
and
bran,
1.5
and
1.0
ppm
for
sugar
beet
molasses
and
dried
pulp,
and
0.6
ppm
for
wheat
bran.
The
recommended
tolerance
for
wheat
bran
will
be
translated
to
bran
of
barley
and
rye.
With
regards
to
AGF,
combined
residues
were
also
shown
to
concentrate
by
various
degrees
in
AGF
derived
from
field
corn
(
12.8x),
sorghum
(
5.2x),
soybeans
(
32x),
and
wheat
(
18x)
following
late
season
applications.
Considering
these
AGF
concentration
factors
and
the
HAFT
residues
in
the
respective
RACs,
the
maximum
expected
residues
in
AGF
are
1.28
ppm
for
corn,
10.9
ppm
for
sorghum,
30
ppm
for
soybean,
and
3.2
ppm
for
wheat.
Therefore,
the
recommended
tolerance
for
propiconazole
residues
in
AGF
is
30
ppm
based
on
the
soybean
data.

The
maximum
theoretical
dietary
burdens
(
MTDB)
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
were
calculated
to
be
29.0
ppm
for
beef
and
18.5
ppm
for
dairy
cattle,
2.3
ppm
for
swine
and

To
estimate
maximum
combined
residues
in
cattle
and
swine
commodities,
the
residue
levels
for
the
75­
ppm
feeding
level
at
21
days
were
selected
as
these
residue
levels
were
the
highest
for
the
75­
ppm
group.
This
feeding
level
represents
a
2.7x
the
MTDBs
for
beef
cattle,
4.2x
for
dairy
cattle,
and
a
32.6x
for
swine.
Maximum
combined
residues
were
estimated
by
dividing
the
residue
values
for
milk
and
tissues
at
the
75­
ppm
dose
level
by
2.7
for
cattle,
4.2
for
milk,
and
32.6
for
swine.
For
beef
cattle,
estimated
combined
residues
at
a
1x
feeding
level
are
1.7
ppm
for
kidney,
1.6
ppm
for
liver,
0.03
ppm
for
muscle,
0.05
ppm
for
fat,
and
0.03
pm
for
milk.
For
swine,
estimated
combined
residues
at
a
1x
feeding
level
are
0.14ppm
for
kidney,
0.13
ppm
for
liver
and
<
0.005
ppm
for
muscle
and
fat.
HED
recommends
that
the
following
tolerance
levels
be
established:
For
cattle,
goat,
horses
and
sheep,
kidney
and
liver
at
2.0
ppm;
meat
and
meat
byproduct
(
except
kidney
and
liver)
and
fat
at
0.05
ppm,
milk
at
0.05
ppm.
For
hog,
kidney
and
liver
at
0.20
ppm,
no
tolerances
are
needed
for
meat,
fat,
and
meat
byproduct.

For
poultry
tissues
and
eggs,
estimated
combined
residues
and
parent
residues
were
calculated
in
the
same
manner
as
for
cattle
and
swine.
The
maximum
combined
residues
in
tissues
and
eggs
from
the
7.5­
ppm
dose
group
in
the
poultry
feeding
study
were
used
to
estimate
residues
at
the
1x
feeding
level.
The
estimated
combined
residues
at
the
1x
feeding
level
are
all
<
LOQ.
Therefore,
tolerances
for
poultry
tissues
and
eggs
are
not
required
as
quantifiable
levels
of
propiconazole
are
unlikely
to
occur
in
these
commodities
[
40
CFR
180.6(
a)
(
3)].

Adequate
confined
rotational
crop
studies
are
available
indicating
that
the
residues
in
rotational
crops
are
similar
to
the
primary
crops.
The
confined
studies
also
support
the
105­
day
plant­
back
interval
(
PBI)
currently
listed
on
product
labels
for
crops
without
direct
uses.
Under
the
current
petition,
Syngenta
has
submitted
extensive
rotational
crop
field
trial
data
on
alfalfa
planted
following
propiconazole­
treated
wheat
and
proposed
a
0.1
ppm
tolerance
for
inadvertent
residues
in/
on
alfalfa.
The
available
alfalfa
rotational
crop
field
trials
are
adequate
and
will
support
a
75­
day
PBI
for
alfalfa
following
propiconazole
application(
s)
to
primary
crops
at
up
to
0.22
lb

Residue
Chemistry
Deficiencies
With
the
exception
of
the
residue
data
for
dry
peas
and
beans,
and
sugar
beet
tops,
no
major
deficiencies
were
noted
in
the
subject
petitions
that
would
preclude
establishing
permanent
tolerances
for
propiconazole
on
the
proposed
commodities.
Pending
the
favorable
outcome
of
the
aggregate
risk
assessment,
HED
recommends
establishing
permanent
tolerances
for
propiconazole
residues
at
the
levels
recommended
in
the
Table
9.
As
insufficient
field
trial
data
are
available
on
dry
peas
and
beans
(
subgroup
6C),
HED
recommends
against
establishing
permanent
tolerances
on
these
commodities
at
this
time
until
additional
field
trials
are
submitted.
A
conditional
registration
can
be
established
on
sugar
beet
tops.
A
human
health
risk
assessment
is
forthcoming.

To
support

an
additional
8

Background
Propiconazole
is
a
triazole­
type
fungicide
(
Group
3)
that
provides
broad
spectrum
disease
control
through
inhibition
of
sterol
biosynthesis
in
fungi.
It
is
registered
to
Syngenta
Crop
Protection
for
the
control
of
fungal
diseases
on
a
variety
of
crops.
It
is
formulated
as
3.6
lb/
gal
emulsifiable
concentrates
(
EC)
and
45%
wettable
powder
(
WP).
Propiconazole

der
(
carrot
metabolism)

The
nature
of
propiconazole
residues
in
plants
is
adequately
understood.
Initial
metabolism
studies
on
peanuts,
wheat,
grapes
and
rice
were
summarized
in
the
Phase
4
Review
and
indicated
that
the
metabolite
profile
was
similar
in
both
the
primary
and
rotational
crops;
however,
complete
quantitative
data
were
not
available
from
these
studies.
Additional
studies
have
since
been
conducted
on
celery,
wheat,
and
carrots
that
were
deemed
completely
adequate.
Together
these
data
indicate
that
the
major
metabolic
pathway
in
plants
appears
to
involve
hydroxylation
of
the
n­
propyl
group
on
the
dioxolane
ring
of
the
cis/
trans
isomers
of
propiconazole,
with
subsequent
conjugation
to
sugars.
A
possible
alternative
pathway
involves
reductive
deketalization
of
the
dioxolane
ring
and
sugar
conjugation
of
the
resulting
metabolite.
The
alkyl
bridge
between
the
phenyl
and
triazole
rings
is
metabolized
and
free
1H­
1,2,4­
triazole
is
released.
The
free
triazole
is
readily
conjugated
with
the
amino
acid,
serine/
alanine,
forming
triazole
aniline
which
is
further
metabolized
to
triazole
acetic
acid
possibly
through
the
intermediate
formation
of
triazole
lactic
acid.
The
free
triazole,
triazole
alanine,
and
triazole
acetic
acid
are
also
residues
of
concern.
Since
these
are
common
metabolites
from
several
triazole
containing
pesticides,
the
risk
assessment
for
triazoles
has
been
assessed
separately

The
cited
assessment
included
all
the
proposed
propiconazole
new
uses
in
the
subject
petitions.

Based
on
these
studies,
HED
concluded
that
the
residues
of
concern
for
dietary
risk
assessment
(
food)
should
include
propiconazole
and
all
its
metabolites
containing
the
2,4­
DCBA
moiety,
including
conjugates,
as
virtually
all
the
residue
data
have
been
generated
using
a
common
moiety
method
that
converts
parent
and
all
of
the
metabolites
of
concern
to
2,4­
DCBA.
However,
only
residues
of
propiconazole
per
se
should
be
included
in
water
for
purposes
of
the
dietary
risk
assessment.
The
tolerance
expression
should
also
be
amended
to
include
only
propiconazole
per
se
because
1)
there
are
a
number
of
pesticides
that
have
2,4­
DCBA
as
common
metabolite,
and
an
enforcement
agency
may
not
be
able
to
determine
if
residues
are
due
to
misuse
of
propiconazole
or
the
proper
use
of
other
pesticides
containing
2,4­
DCBA;
2)
propiconazole
per
se
can
be
detected
by
FDA
multiresidue
methods;
and
3)
inclusion
of
only
parent
allows
harmonization
with
the
residue
definition
for
the
Codex
MRLs.
Although
HED
also
considers
free
triazole
to
be
a
residue
of
concern
in
plants,
issues
pertaining
to
triazole
residues
are
addressed
in

The
nature
of
propiconazole
residues
in
livestock
is
adequately
understood
based
on
the
acceptable
goat
and
poultry
metabolism
studies.
In
one
ruminant
study,
three
lactating
goats
received
[

14C]
propiconazole
at
67­
92
ppm
for
four
consecutive
days
in
the
feed.
The
dosing

correspond
to

(

and
CGA­

(

were
also
identified
in
milk.
In
addition,
an
unknown
was
quantified
(
6.2­
31.1%
TRR)
in
goat
tissues.
In
a
second
ruminant
study,
a
single
goat
was
fed
[
triazole­
14C]
propiconazole
at
4.53
ppm
(
0.1x)
for
10
days.
The
TRR
in
tissues
and
milk
ranged
from
0.01
ppm
in
muscle
to
0.96
ppm
in
liver;
TRR
in
milk
were
0.015
ppm.
On
further
analysis
of
subsamples
of
milk
and
liver,
sulfate
and
glucuronide
conjugates
were
found
in
milk,
and
conjugation
with
amino
acids
was
suggested
in
liver;
propiconazole
per
se
was
not
identified
in
milk
or

In
the
poultry
study,
four
laying
hens
received
[
phenyl­
14C]
propiconazole
at
67
ppm
for
eight
consecutive
days
in
feed.
The
dosing
level
corresponds
to
7.3x
MTDB
for
poultry.
The
parent
(
1.4­
39.0%
TRR),
and
metabolites
CGA­
118244
(
1.5­
50.0%

and
CGA­
91305
(
17.7­
78.6%
TRR)
were
identified
in
the
organic
extracts
of
tissues
and
eggs.

The
Agency
concluded
that
parent
and
all
metabolites
convertible
to
2,4­
DCBA
are
residues
of
concern
for
risk
assessment,
as
the
analytical
method
is
a
common
moiety
method
that
detects
all
residues
convertible
to
2,4­

However,
for
tolerance
enforcement
purposes,
the
current

expression
should
be
amended
to
include
only
propiconazole

Data
were
obtained
from
Propiconazole
RED,
Y.
Donovan,
6/
15/
06.
2
Residue
values
in
shaded
cells
were
used
to
calculate
maximum
potential
combined
residues
in
poultry
at
1x
feeding
level.

To
estimate
maximum
combined
residues
in
cattle
and
swine
commodities,
the
residue
levels
for
the
75­
ppm
feeding
level
at
21
days
were
selected
as
these
residue
levels
were
the
highest
for
the
75­
ppm
group.
This
feeding
level
represents
a
2.7x
the
MTDBs
for
beef
cattle,
4.2x
for
dairy
cattle,
and
a
32.6x
for
swine.
Maximum
combined
residues
were
estimated
by
dividing
the
residue
values
for
milk
and
tissues
at
the
75­
ppm
dose
level
by
2.7
for
cattle,
4.2
for
milk,
and
32.6
for
swine.
For
beef
cattle,
estimated
combined
residues
at
a
1x
feeding
level
are
1.7
ppm
for
kidney,
1.6
ppm
for
liver,
0.03
ppm
for
muscle,
0.05
ppm
for
fat,
and
0.03
pm
for
milk.
For
swine,
estimated
combined
residues
at
a
1x
feeding
level
are
0.14ppm
for
kidney,
0.13
ppm
for
liver
and
<
0.005
ppm
for
muscle
and
fat.
HED
recommends
that
the
following
tolerance
levels
be
established:
For
cattle,
goat,
horses
and
sheep,
kidney
and
liver
at
2.0
ppm;
meat
and
meat
byproduct
(
except
kidney
and
liver)
and
fat
at
0.05
ppm,
milk
at
0.05
ppm.
For
hog,
kidney
and
liver
at
0.20
ppm,
no
tolerances
are
needed
for
meat,
fat,
and
meat
byproduct.

For
poultry
tissues
and
eggs,
estimated
combined
residues
and
parent
residues
were
calculated
in
the
same
manner
as
for
cattle
and
swine.
The
maximum
combined
residues
in
tissues
and
eggs
from
the
7.5­
ppm
dose
group
in
the
poultry
feeding
study
were
used
to
estimate
residues
at
the
1x
feeding
level.
The
estimated
combined
residues
at
the
1x
feeding
level
are
all
<
LOQ.
Therefore,
tolerances
for
poultry
tissues
and
eggs
are
not
required
as
quantifiable
levels
of
propiconazole
are
unlikely
to
occur
in
these
commodities

This

at

was
evident
in
3
out

Given
the
differences
between

a

was
applied
to
soybeans
as
lateseason
broadcast

Each

The
BBCH
growth

of
71­
89
are
equivalent
to
Stages
R4­
R8.
All
applications
were
made
using
ground
equipment
at
RTIs
of
13­
18
days,
and
did
not
include
the
use
of
any
adjuvants.
Single
control
and
duplicate
treated
samples
of
soybean
seed
were
harvested
from
each
test
at
30
DAT,
and
forage
and
hay
samples
were
not
collected.
Soybean
seed
samples
were
stored
frozen
for
up
to
8.5
months
prior
to
extraction
for
analysis.
Combined
residues
of
propiconazole
and
its
2,4­
DCBA
containing
metabolites
in/
on
soybean
seeds
were
determined
using
GC/
ECD
Method
AG­
626,
which
was
adequately
validated
in
conjunction
with
the
analysis
of
field
trial
samples.
The
validated
method
LOQ
is
0.05
ppm,
and
a
LOD
was
not
reported.
Following
the
two
applications
totaling
0.33­
0.36
lb
ai/
A
(
1x
rate),
combined
residues
levels
in
soybean
seeds
were
0.17­
0.94
ppm
and
averaged
0.39
ppm
in/
on
8
samples
at
30
DAT.
No
residue
decline
trials
were
conducted.

Considering
all
the
available
soybean
field
trial
data,
HED
considers
sufficient
residue
data
are
available
to
support
tolerances
on
soybean
forage
and
hay
harvested
30
days
following
the
second
of
two
applications
totaling
0.33
lb
ai/
A
(
1x

Although
the
petitioner
has
requested
tolerances
for
soybean
forage
and
hay,
the
Agency
notes
that
the
currently
proposed
use
directions
for
soybean
prohibit
the
feeding
or
grazing
for
forage
or
hay.
HED
also
considers
sufficient
residue
data
are
available
to
support
tolerances
on
soybean
seed,
even
though
the
PHIs
of
the
soybean
seed
data
varies
from
30
to
90
days,
as
long
as
the
label
states
that
"
do
not
apply
later
than
the
R5

stage'
or
`
apply
up
to
Stage

no
additional
field

are
required
for
soybean

and
the
final
two

were
determined
using

Although
the
concurrent
recoveries
from
nutmeat
and
hulls
were
generally
low
(
60­
80%),
the
recoveries
were
relatively
consistent.
Therefore,
the
method
is
deemed
adequate
for
data
collection.
Although
the
raw
data
(
instead

were
used
to

the

Application
volume
and

type
had
no
apparent

For
samples
treated
with
the

combined
residues
range
from

and
0.57­
4.60

For
samples
treated

in/
on
12

and
0.85­
4.20

For
the
WP
and
EC
formulations,
average
residues
were
respectively
0.035
and
0.041
ppm
in/
on
nutmeats
and
1.78
and
2.06

When
data
from
both

are
pooled,
average
residues
are
0.038

and
1.92

In
the

declined
slightly
from
an
average
of
0.07

applied
to
field
corn
(
24

With
a

each
had
a
single

Following
a
single
application
of
propiconazole
(
EC)
at
0.28
lb
ai/
A
(
1x

total
propiconazole
residues
ranged
from
0.97­
17.0
ppm
in/
on
32

of
straw
and
0.03­
6.50
ppm
in/
on
32
samples
of
grain
harvested
at
34­
49
DAT.
Average
residues
were
4.50
ppm
for
straw
and
1.76
ppm
for
grain.
At
the
four
sites
where
the
single
application
at
0.28
lb
ai/
A
was
compared
to
the
split
application
totaling
0.31
lb
ai/
A,
residues
were
similar
between
the
two
treatments.
Average
residues
in/
on
grain
and
straw
were
1.34
and
4.27
ppm,
respectively,
following
the
single
application,
and
1.17
and
4.04
ppm,
respectively,
following
the
two
split
applications.

In
the
two
residue
decline
tests,
residues
in/
on
rice
grain
remained
relatively
steadily
over
time,
averaging
1.45
ppm
at
14
DAT
and
1.22
ppm
at
~
45
DAT.
Residues
in/
on
straw
showed
a
slight
increase
at
longer
post­
treatment
intervals,
but
the
trend
could
not
be
verified
due
to
the
variability
in
the
residue
data
on
straw.
Average
residues
in/
on
straw
were
3.05
ppm
at
14
DAT
and
4.45
ppm
by
~
45
DAT.
The
slight
increase
in
straw
residues
may
be
the
result
of
drying
down
of
the
foliage
as
the
crop
matures.
The

were
established
for
the

For
the
forage

propiconazole
was
applied
as
two

in
all

The

notes
that
the

However,
the

reflect
two

Conclusions
The
available
field
trial
data
on
almonds,
bush
and
cane
berries,
carrots,
celery,
cranberries,
mint,
onions,
pecans,
rice
and
strawberries
are
adequate
and
support
the
proposed
use
patterns
for
propiconazole
(
EC
or
WP)
on
these
crops.
The
number
and
geographic
distribution
of
the
field
trials
are
adequate,
and
the
appropriate
samples
were
collected
at
the
proposed
PHIs.
Based
on
available
side­
by­
side
studies
with
almonds,
celery,
field
corn,
and
sugar
beets
comparing
the
EC
and
WP
formulations,
the
general
results
are
that
the
residues
are
similar
with
the
two
formulations,
with
the
exception
of
sugar
beet
tops
where
the
EC
formulation
resulted
in
higher
residues.
For
crops
other
than
almonds,
celery,
field
corn,
and
sugar
beets,
data
were
generated
for
only
the
EC
formulation.
Sugar
beets
are
the
only
crop
for
which
most
of
the
data
reflect
the
WP
formulation.
HED
concluded
that
adequate
data
are
available
to
support
use
of
both
formulations
on
all
crops
in
these
petitions
with
the
exception
of
sugar
beets.

The
available
bush
and
cane
berries
field
trial
data
will
support
a
general
use
on
all
members
of
the
berry
crop
group
(
13);
the
celery
field
trial
data
will
support
uses
on
all
members
of
the
leafy
petioles
crop
subgroup
(
4B);
and
the
onion
(
green
and
dry
bulb)
field
trial
data
will
support
uses
on
all
members
of
the
bulb
vegetable
crop
group
(
3).
The
almond
and
pecan
data
will
support
uses
on
all
members
of
the
tree
nut
crop
group
(
14);
however,
use
directions
for
all
tree
nuts,
except
pecans,
should
be
amended
to
specify
a
minimum
PHI
of
60
days.

Adequate
field
trial
data
have
previously
been
reviewed
supporting
the
current
use
directions
on
sweet
corn.
The
available
field
and
pop
corn
field
trial
data
are
adequate
and
support
the
use
of
up
to
four
late­
season
broadcast
foliar
applications
of
propiconazole
(
EC)
to
field
or
pop
corn
through
grain
development,
up
to
the
dent
stage
(
R5
stage),
at
0.11
lb
ai/
A/
application,
for
a
total
of
0.44
lb
ai/
A/
season.
The
data
support
a
PHI
of
30
days
for
harvest
of
forage,
grain
and
stover.
However,
the
most
extensive
data
on
field
corn
forage
will
only
support
the
use
of
two
earlyseason
applications
prior
to
the
harvest
of
forage.
The
current
time­
limited
tolerance
of
12
ppm
on
field
corn
forage
can
be
reduced
to
4.5
ppm
if
the
petitioner
intends
to
only
support
total
use
rates
of
0.22
lb
ai/
A
to
field
corn
prior
to
the
harvest
of
forage.

The
sorghum
field
trial
data
are
also
adequate
and
support
the
proposed
use
pattern,
provided
that
the
label
is
amended
to
specify
a
maximum
total
application
rate
of
0.22
lb
ai/
A
on
sorghum
harvested
for
forage.

There
are
no
sufficient
field
trial
data
to
support
the
purposed
use
on
dry
peas
and
beans
as
only
six
dry
bean
field
trials
are
available
and
no
dry
pea
field
trials
were
conducted.
For
a
subgroup
crop
tolerance
on
6C,
a
total
of
12
dry
bean
field
trials
and
5
dry
pea
field
trials
are
required.
In
addition,
the
available
dry
bean
field
trials
support
a
PHI
of
28
days
rather
than
the
14­
day
PHI
on
the
proposed
label.
HED
recommends
against
the
establishment
of
permanent
tolerance
on
subgroup
crop
6C
until
additional
field
trial
data
are
submitted.

For
soybeans,
after
considering
all
the
available
soybean
field
trial
data,
HED
concluded
that
sufficient
residue
data
are
available
to
support
tolerances
on
soybean
forage
and
hay
harvested
30
days
following
the
second
of
two
applications
totaling
0.33
lb
ai/
A
(
1x
rate).
Although
the
petitioner
has
requested
tolerances
for
soybean
forage
and
hay,
the
Agency
notes
that
the
currently
proposed
use
directions
for
soybean
prohibit
the
feeding
or
grazing
for
forage
or
hay.

HED
also
considers
sufficient
residue
data
are
available
to
support
tolerances
on
soybean
seed,
even
though
the
PHIs
of
the
soybean
seed
data
varies
from
30
to
90
days,
since
soybean
mature
at
different
times
depending
on
the
growth
regions,
PHI
can
vary
from
region
to
region,
therefore,
provided
the
label
has
such
language
as
"
do
not
apply
later
than
the
R5
growth
stage'
or
`
apply
up
to
Stage
R6",
no
additional
field
trials
are
required
for
soybean
seeds.

For
sugar
beets,
adequate
field
trial
data
are
available
to
support
the
use
of
the
45%
WP
formulation
at
the
proposed
rate.
However,
based
on
the
results
of
the
side­
by­
side
tests
with
the
WP
and
EC
formulations,
residues
in/
on
tops
at
the
proposed
21­
day
PHI
are
likely
to
be
higher
for
the
EC
formulation
than
the
WP
formulation.
Therefore,
a
complete
set
of
field
trial
data
is
required
for
sugar
beet
tops
reflecting
the
use
of
the
EC
formulation.

The
available
wheat
field
trial
data
for
grain
and
straw
are
adequate
and
will
support
the
proposed
late­
season
use
pattern
on
wheat,
barley,
rye
and
oats;
however,
the
available
residue
data
on
forage
and
hay
will
only
support
a
maximum
use
rate
of
0.11
lb
ai/
A
prior
to
the
harvest
of
forage
or
hay.
The
use
directions
must
be
amended
to
specify
a
maximum
total
application
rate
of
0.11
lb
ai/
A
on
wheat,
barley,
oats
or

harvested
for

If
the

intends
to
support
the
use
of
two
applications
totaling
0.22

prior
to

indicating
the

However,
due
to

The
processing

was
12.8x.
The
maximum
theoretical

25x
for

As
the

Based
on
HAFT

using
an
adequate

Total
propiconazole

from
both

for
an
average

and
concentrated
in

Based
on

the
maximum

In
two
field
trials
conducted
in
KS
and
TX
in
1998,
propiconazole
(
3.6
lb/

EC)
was
applied
to
two
plots
of
sorghum
at
each
site
as
four
broadcast
foliar
applications
during
grain
development
at
0.11

for
totals
of
0.44
or

All
applications
were
made
using
ground

in
volumes
of
12­
13
gal/

and
included
the
use
of
a

at
0.1­
0.25%
of
the

and
treated
bulk
samples
of

were
harvested
from
each

The
grain
was
cleaned
to
generate
AGF

then
processed
using
simulated
commercial
procedures
into
flour.
Prior
to
analysis,
the
grain

were
stored
frozen
for
up
to
15

supported
by
the

Total
propiconazole

and
residues
in

were
0.06
and
0.48

For
the
5x

residues
in
AGF
were
9.2
and
21.3

reviewed
a
study
on
soybean
AGF
(

In
two
tests
conducted
in
1997,
mature
samples
of
soybeans
were
harvested
45
or
56
days
following
two
foliar
applications
of
propiconazole
(
3.6
lb/

at
0.17

application,
with
a
14
day
RTI,
for
a
total
of
0.33
lb
ai/

(
1x
rate).
Bulks
samples
of
seed
from
both
tests
were
cleaned
to
generate
AGF
samples,
and
seeds
and
AGF
samples
were
analyzed
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
using
GC/
ECD
Method
AG­
626,
which
has
an
LOQ
of
0.05

Combined
residues
in/

averaged
0.28

0.20
ppm
from
the
two
tests,
and
combined
residues
in/

averaged
0.27
and
1.5

from
the
two

for
processing
factors
of
1x
and
7.5x,
respectively.
The
average
processing

for
soybean

was
4.3x.

In
addition
to
the

is
also
available
reflecting
foliar
applications
later
in
the
growing
season
of
a
MAI
EC
formulation
containing
propiconazole
at
1.04
lb

In
a
field

conducted
during
2003
in

the
propiconazole

was
applied
to
soybeans
as
three

Single
bulk
samples
of
control
and
treated
seeds
were
harvested
at
commercial
maturity,
19
DAT.
Following
harvest,
samples
of
AGF
were
generated,
and
seeds
were
then
processed
using
simulated
commercial
procedures
into
hulls,
meal,
and
refined
oil.
Samples
of
seed
were
stored
frozen
for
up
to
3
months
prior
to
analysis,
and
samples
of
AGF
and
processed
commodities
were
stored
frozen
for
 
1
month;
these
intervals
are
supported
by
the
available
storage

Combined
residues
of
propiconazole
and
its
2,4­
DCBA
containing
metabolites
were
determined
using
a
GC/

method,
which
is
a
modification
to
Method
AG­
626
that
uses
a
MSD
instead
of
ECD
for
detection
of
residues.
The
method
is
adequately
validated
in
conjunction
with
the
analysis
of
treated
samples.
The
validated
LOQ
was
0.5
ppm
for
all
matrices,
and
the
calculated
LODs
were
0.07
ppm
for
seeds,
0.4
ppm
for

0.15
ppm
for

and
0.14

An
LOD
for

was
not
reported.

Following
three
applications
of

to
soybeans
during
pod
development
at
rates
totaling
1.23

were
1.23­

Based
on
the

Both
soybean
processing
studies
indicate
that
combined
propiconazole
residues
are
unlikely
to
concentrate
in
hulls,
meal
and
refined
oil;
therefore,
separate
tolerances
are
not
required
for
these
commodities.
However,
both
studies
also
indicate
that
residues
are
likely
to
concentrate
in
soybean
AGF.
The
difference
between
the
two
processing
factors
for
AGF,
4.3x
and
32x,
was
considerable,
and
most
likely
reflects
the
different
application
timings
and
harvest
intervals
for
beans
in
the
two
studies.
In
the
study
with
the
lower
processing
factor
(
4.3x),
beans
were
harvested
at
45­
56
DAT,
and
in
the
study
with
the
higher
concentration
factor
(
32x),
beans
were
harvested
at
19
DAT.
As
the
petitioner
is
now
proposing
a
shorter
PHI
for
the
harvest
of
soybeans
(
30
days),
the
processing
factor
from
the
later
study
will
be
more
appropriate
for
estimating
soybean
AGF
residues.
Based
on
HAFT
residues
of
0.90
ppm
for
soybean
seed
and
the
32x
processing
factor,
the
maximum
expected
residues
would
be
30
ppm
in
soybean
AGF.

Sugar
beet.
In
a
field
trial
conducted
in
MN
in
1997,
propiconazole
(
45%
WP)
was
applied
to
sugar
beets
as
three
broadcast
foliar
applications
during
root
enlargement
at
either
0.11,
0.33
or
0.55
lb
ai/
A/
application,
at
a
RTI
of
10
days,
for
totals
of
0.33,
0.99
and
1.65
lb
ai/
A/
season
(
1x,
3x
and
5x
rates).
Sugar
beets
were
grown
and
harvested
at
commercial
maturity,
23
DAT.
Following
harvest,
sugar
beet
roots
from
each
rate
were
processed
into
refined
sugar,
dried
pulp
and
molasses
using
simulated
commercial
procedures.
Prior
to
analysis,
samples
were
stored
up
to
9.9
months,
an
interval
supported
by
available
storage
stability
data.

Combined
residues
of
propiconazole
and
its
2,4­
DCBA
containing
metabolites
were
determined
using
GC/
ECD
Method
AG­
454B,
which
was
adequately
validated
in
conjunction
with
the
analysis
of
treated
samples.
The
validated
method
LOQ
is
0.05
ppm
for
each
commodity,
and
the
LOD
was
0.02
ppm.

Total
residues
were
0.03,
0.045
and
0.11
ppm
in/
on
roots
treated
at
the
1x,
3x
and
5x
rates,
respectively.
Residues
in
roots
were
above
the
LOQ
only
in
the
5x
treatment.
For
processed
fractions
from
1x,
3x,
and
5x
treatments,
residues
were
respectively
0.11,
0.26
and
0.54
ppm
in
molasses
and
0.18,
0.76,
and
0.81
ppm
in
dried
pulp.
Residues
in
refined
sugar
were
nondetectable
(<
0.02
ppm)
in
all
samples.
Processing
factors
from
all
three
tests
were
<
0.2­<
0.7x
for
refined
sugar,
6.0­
16.9x
for
molasses,
and
3.7­
7.4x
for
dried
pulp.
With
the
exception
on
one
for
the
processing
factors
for
molasses
(
16.9x
from
3x
rate
test),
the
processing
factors
were
below
the
maximum
theoretical
concentration
factor
for
sugar
beets,
which
is
12.5x.
Because
residues
were
above
the
LOQ
in
roots
from
only
5x
treatment,
the
processing
factors
for
refined
sugar
(<
0.2x),
molasses
(
7.4x)
and
dried
pulp
(
4.9x)
from
the
5x
treatment
should
be
used
for
determining
residues
in
sugar
beet
processed
fractions.
Based
on
HAFT
residues
of
0.18
ppm
for
sugar
beet
roots
and
the
above
processing
factors,
the
maximum
expected
residues
would
be
<
0.05
ppm
in
refined
sugar,
1.33
ppm
in
molasses,
and
0.88
ppm
in
dried
pulp.
These
data
indicate
that
separate
tolerances
should
be
established
at
1.5
and
1.0
ppm
for
sugar
beet
molasses
and
dried
pulp,
respectively.

were
stored
frozen
for
up

months,
an

using
GC/

Method
AG­
454B,
which
was
adequately

with
the

The
validated
method
LOQ
is
0.05
ppm
for
each

and
the
LOD
was
0.02

For
the

conducted
at
the

residues
were
<

all
samples
of

and
all

with
the
exception
of

AGF
samples
from

were
<

in
one
test
and
0.08­
0.14

in
the
remaining
three
1x

indicating
the
potential
for

of
residues
in
AGF.
However,
reliable
processing
factors
could
not
be
calculated
since
residues
in

Residues
were
also

however,
in

were
0.16

All

in
volumes
of

20
gal/

and
no

were
included

The

Single
control
and
treated
bulks
samples
of
grain
were
harvested
from
each
test
at
36
or

Samples
were
cleaned
to
generate

and
then
processed
using
simulated
commercial
procedures
into
wheat
germ,
bran,
middlings,
shorts
and

(

Samples
were
stored
up
to
9.3
months
prior
to
analysis,
an
interval
supported
by
available
storage
stability
data.

Combined
residues
were
determined
using
GC/
ECD
Method
AG­
454B,
which
was
adequately
validated
in
conjunction
with
the
analysis
of
treated
samples.
The
validated
method
LOQ
is
0.05
ppm
for
each
commodity,
and
the
LOD
was
0.02

In
addition,
samples
from
these
processing
studies
were
also
analyzed
for
residues
of
propiconazole,
per
se,
using
a
GC/
NPD
method
from
PAM
Vol.
I
(
Method
302

This
method
was
also
adequately
validated
in
conjunction
with
the
analysis
of
treated
samples,
and
the
validated
method
LOQ
was
0.05
ppm
for
all
wheat
commodities;
a
LOD
was
not
reported.

Following
a
single
broadcast
application
to
wheat
at
a
0.5x
rate
at
FGS
10.5,
total
combined
residues
were
<
LOQ
in/
on
mature
samples
of
grain
harvested
at
either
36
or
47
DAT.
Following
two
broadcast
applications
at
approximately
Feekes
Growth
Stages
(
FGS)
10
and
10.5,
combined
residues
in/
on
grain
were
<
0.05
and
0.062
ppm
from
the
1x
rate
tests,
0.101
and
0.129
ppm
from
the
3x
rate
tests,
and
0.107
and
0.183
ppm
from
the
5x
rate
tests.
Within
each
test,
levels
of
combined
residues
were
typically
highest
in
AGF
and
then
bran,
and
residues
were
lowest
in
flour.
Processing
factors
were
calculated
only
for
those
tests
in
which
residues
were
 
LOQ
in/
on
whole
grain.
For
these
tests,
average
processing
factors
for
total
combined
residues
were
0.9x
for
germ,
3.2x
for
bran,
0.7x
for
middlings,
0.9x
for
shorts,
and
<
0.3x
for
flour.
The
maximum
theoretical
processing
factor
for
wheat
is
8.3x.
Processing
factors
for
combined
residues
in
AGF
varied
considerably
between
the
two
test
sites,
averaging
2.7x
at
the
OK
site
and
34x
at
the
KS
site,
for
an
overall
processing
factor
of
18x.

Regardless
of
the
application
timing
to
wheat,
all
of
the
above
wheat
processing
studies
indicate
that
there
is
the
potential
for
substantial
concentration
of
combined
propiconazole
residues
in
wheat
AGF
and
to
a
lesser
extent
in
bran.
Total
combined
residues
were
either
reduced
or
concentrated
only
slightly
in
germ,
shorts,
middlings,
and
flour;
therefore,
separate
tolerances
are
not
required
for
these
wheat
commodities.
As
the
final
series
of
processing
studies
(
44757208.
der2)
reflected
the
latest
proposed
application
timing
and
had
the
highest
levels
of
residues
in
the
RAC,
the
average
processing
factors
from
these
tests
will
be
used
to
estimate
maximum
potential
residues
in
AGF
(
18x)
and
bran
(
3.2x).

(

reflecting
applications
at
up

the
maximum

Conclusions
Adequate
processing
studies,
reflecting
the
measurement
of
total
combined
residues,
are
available
for
alfalfa
(
rotational
crop),
field
corn,
mint,
rice,
sorghum,
soybean,
sugar
beet,
and
wheat.
Adequate
processing
data
are
also
available
from
one
of
the
wheat
processing
studies
reflecting
the
measurement
of
only
parent
residues.

These
studies
indicate
that,
with
the
exception
of
AGF,
combined
propiconazole
residues
did
not
concentrate
in
processed
commodities
derived
from
alfalfa,
field
corn,
mint,
sorghum,
and
soybeans,
or
in
polished
rice,
sugar
beet
refined
sugar,
or
wheat
germ,
shorts,
middlings
and
flour.
However,
combined
residues
were
shown
to
concentrate
in
rice
hulls
(
3.8x)
and
bran
(
2.9x),
sugar
beet
molasses
(
7.4x)
and
dried
pulp
(
4.9x),
and
wheat
bran
(
3.2x).
Therefore
separate
tolerances
are
required
for
these
commodities.
Considering
the
HAFT
residues
in
the
various
RACs
and
the
above
processing
factors,
appropriate
tolerances
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
would
be
20
and
15
ppm
for
rice
hulls
and
bran,
1.5
and
1.0
ppm
for
sugar
beet
molasses
and
dried
pulp,
and
0.6
ppm
for
wheat
bran.

With
regards
to
AGF,
combined
residues
were
shown
to
concentrate
by
various
degrees
in
AGF
derived
from
field
corn
(
12.8x),
sorghum
(
5.2x),
soybeans
(
32x),
and
wheat
(
13x)
following
late
season
applications.
Considering
these
AGF
processing
factors
and
the
HAFT
residues
in
the
respective
RACs,
the
maximum
excepted
residues
in
AGF
are
1.28
ppm
for
corn,
10.9
ppm
for
sorghum,
30
ppm
for
soybean,
and
4.14
ppm
for
wheat.
Therefore,
the
tolerance
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
in
AGF
should
be
set
at
30
ppm
based
on
the
soybean
data.

The
nature
of
the
residue
in
confined
rotational
crops
is
understood.
Based
on
acceptable
studies
reviewed
by
EFED,
the
metabolism
of
propiconazole
in
rotational
crops
is
similar
to
that
in
primary
crops.
Plant­
back
restrictions
have
been
established
for
propiconazole
products
registered
for
use
on
rotational
crops
based
on
the
confined
rotational
crop
studies.
Labels
specify
that
any
food/
feed
crops
not
listed
on
the
label
should
not
be
planted
within

in
which
Syngenta
is

With

Syngenta
is
still
supporting
a

tolerance
for
alfalfa,
based

Conclusions
The

Proposed
Tolerances
Permanent
tolerances
are
currently
established
for
the
combined
residues
of
propiconazole
and
its
2,4­
DCBA
containing
metabolites
at
levels
ranging
from
0.1­
40
ppm
in/
on
plant
commodities
[
40
CFR
§
180.434(
a)].
Permanent
tolerances
are
also
established
for
the
combined
residues
of
propiconazole
and
its
2,4­
DCBA
containing
metabolites
at
0.1
ppm
in
fat,
meat,
and
meat
byproducts
(
except
liver
and
kidney)
of
livestock,
2.0
ppm
in
liver
and
kidney
of
livestock,
and
at
0.05
ppm
in
milk;
however,
no
tolerances
have
been
established
for
eggs
and
poultry
commodities.
Time­
limited
tolerances
are
established
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
in/
on
a
variety
of
plant
commodities
at
levels
from
0.2
ppm
in/
on
sorghum
grain
to
25
ppm
in/
on
soybean
hay
[
40
CFR
§
180.434(
b)].
In
addition,
tolerances
with
regional
restrictions
have
been
established
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
at
0.3
ppm
in/
on
mint
tops
and
0.5
ppm
in/
on
wild
rice
[
40
CFR
§
180.434(
c)].
However,
HED
has
determined
that
the
current
tolerance
expression
for
plant
and
animal
commodities
is
not
appropriate
and
has
recommended
that
the
tolerance
expression
be
revised
to
include
only
parent.

The
tolerances
proposed
by
Syngenta
and
IR­
4
for
the
current
petitions
and
established
tolerances
are
listed
in
Table
9,
along
with
the
Agency's
new
recommended
tolerance
levels.
Although
HED
has
recommended
changing
the
tolerance
expression
to
include
only
parent,
the
majority
of
residue
data
submitted
in
support
of
the
current
petitions
were
generated
using
common
moiety
methods,
which
do
not
differentiate
between
parent
and
its
DCBA
containing
metabolites.
Therefore,
the
recommended
tolerances
based
on
these
data
will
overestimate
actual
propiconazole
residues.
The
recommended
tolerance
levels
for
RACs
in
the
current
petitions
were
determined
using
recent
Agency
Guidance
(
Guidance
for
Setting
Pesticide
Tolerances
Based
on
Field
Trial
Data
SOP),
with
the
exception
of
commodities
having
substantial
( 
15%)
numbers
of
residue
values
below
the
method
LOQ.
For
those
commodities
with
large
numbers
of
values
<
LOQ
(
corn
grain,
dry
bulb
onions,
sugar
beet
roots,
tree
nuts,
and
wheat
grain),
the
recommended
tolerance
was
based
on
the
observed
maximum
residue
value.
For
those
commodities
for
which
the
tolerance
spreadsheet
was
used
to
calculate
the
appropriate
tolerance
level,
the
residue
data
used
for
the
tolerance
calculations
and
the
supporting
spreadsheet
outputs
are
presented
in
Appendix
II.
HED
also
recommends
using
the
recommended
tolerance
levels
for
conducting
dietary
risk
assessment.
Although
in
some
cases
where
uncorrected
raw
data
were
used
in
deriving
these
tolerances
(
with
average
recoveries
around
70%),
but
since
this
is
a
tier
I
DEEM
assessment,
it
will
not
under
estimate
the
risk.

For
purposes
of
determining
tolerances,
adequate
field

data
are
available
for
alfalfa
(
rotational

almonds,
celery,
bush

carrots,
corn
(

cranberries,
mint,

strawberries,
sugar

The
available
almond

data
will
support
a
crop

on
tree

and
separate

pistachios
and
almond

The
celery
data
will
support
a
subgroup
tolerance
on
leafy
petiole
vegetables,
and
the
bush
and
cane
berry
data
will
support
a
crop

tolerance
on
the
berries
crop
group.
In
addition,
the
recommended
separate
tolerances
on
green
and
dry
bulb
onions
will
cover
the
other
members
of
the
bulb
vegetable
crop
group.

Based
on
the
different
use
patterns
and
resulting
residues
in/
on
the
various
cereal
grains,
a
crop
group
tolerance
is
not
appropriate
for
cereal
grain
and
separate
tolerances
should
be
established
for
each
member
of
the
crop
group
with
labeled
uses.
Adequate
field
trial
data
are
available
for
corn,
rice,
sorghum,
and
wheat.
However,
tolerances
for
corn
must
be
separated
out
for
the
specific
types
of
corn.
The
recent
field
corn
data
will
support
the
recommended
tolerances
for
field
and
pop
corn
commodities
and
sweet
corn
stover,
and
the
previously
reviewed
sweet
corn
data
(
PP#
8F3674,
C.
Deyrup,
12/
14/

will
support
the
current
tolerance
of
0.1
ppm
for
sweet
corn
(
kernels
plus
cobs
with
husks
removed)
along
with
a
lower
tolerance
(
6
ppm)
for
sweet
corn
forage.
The
most
recent
wheat
field
trial
data
will
be
used
to
set
wheat
tolerances
and
will
also
be
translated
to
set
new
tolerances
on
barley
and
rye
commodities.
As
the
proposed
changes
to
the
label
directions
will
also
cover
oats,
the
wheat
residue
data
will
also
be
translated
to
oats
to
reassess
the
existing
tolerances
on
oats.

Although
adequate
residue
data
are
available
to
support
tolerances
on
sugar
beet
roots,
additional
residue
data
are
required
before
permanent
tolerances
can
be
established
for
sugar
beet
tops
if
the
petitioner
wants
to
use
EC
formulation.
HED
recommends
a
conditional
tolerance
be
established
on
sugar
beet
tops.

There
are
no
sufficient
residue
data
to
establish
a
permanent
tolerance
on
the
dry
pea
and
bean
subgroup.
HED
recommends
against
the
establishment
of
permanent
tolerance
on
dry
peas
and
beans
(
subgroup
6C)
until
additional
field
trials
data
are
submitted.

Adequate
processing
studies
are
available
for
alfalfa,
corn,
mint,
rice,
sorghum,
soybeans,
sugar
beets
and
wheat.
The
only
processed
commodities
which
shown
to
have
substantial
concentrations
of
combined
residues
were
rice
bran
(
2.9x)
and
hulls
(
3.8x),
sugar
beet
molasses
(
7.4x)
and
dried
pulp
(
3.9x),
and
wheat
bran
(
3.2x).
Tolerances
for
these
commodities
were
estimated
based
on
maximum
expected
residues
calculated
using
HAFT
residues
and
the
above
processing
factors.
The
tolerances
for
wheat
bran
will
be
translated
to
barley
and
rye
bran.

The
available
corn,
sorghum,
soybean
and
wheat
processing
studies
all
indicated
that
there
is
the
potential
for
concentration
of
combined
residues
in
AGF
from
all
four
crops.
Following
the
proposed
late
season
applications,
processing
factors
for
AGF
were
12.8x
for
field
corn,
5.2x
for
sorghum,
32x
for
soybeans,
and
13x
for
wheat
(
13x).
Considering
these
AGF
processing
factors
and
the
HAFT
residues
in
the
respective
RACs,
the
maximum
excepted
residues
in
AGF
are
1.28
ppm
for
corn,
10.9
ppm
for
sorghum,
30
ppm
for
soybean,
and
4.14
ppm
for
wheat.
Therefore,
Propiconazole
Summary
of

and
Residue
Data

D238458
Page
52
of
63
the
tolerance
for
combined
propiconazole
residues
in
AGF
should
be
set
at
30
ppm
based
on
the
soybean
data.

To
assess
livestock
tolerances,
total
combined
residues
were
estimated
for
a
1x
feeding
level
using
the
data
on
combined
residues
from
the
available
cattle
and
poultry
feeding
studies;
For
beef
cattle,
estimated
combined
residues
at
a
1x
feeding
level
are
1.7
ppm
for
kidney,
1.6
ppm
for
liver,
0.03
ppm
for
muscle,
0.05
ppm
for
fat,
and
0.03
pm
for
milk.
For
swine,
estimated
combined
residues
at
a
1x
feeding
level
are
0.14ppm
for
kidney,
0.13
ppm
for
liver
and
<
0.005
ppm
for
muscle
and
fat.
HED
recommends
that
the
following
tolerance
levels
be
established:
For
cattle,
goat,
horses
and
sheep,
kidney
and
liver
at
2.0
ppm;
meat
and
meat
byproduct
(
except
kidney
and
liver)
and
fat
at
0.05
ppm,
milk
at
0.05
ppm.
For
hog,
kidney
and
liver
at
0.20
ppm,
no
tolerances
are
needed
for
meat,
fat,
and
meat
byproduct.

For
poultry
tissues
and
eggs,
estimated
combined
residues
and
parent
residues
were
calculated
in
the
same
manner
as
for
cattle
and
swine.
The
maximum
combined
residues
in
tissues
and
eggs
from
the
7.5­
ppm
dose
group
in
the
poultry
feeding
study
were
used
to
estimate
residues
at
the
1x
feeding
level.
The
estimated
combined
residues
at
the
1x
feeding
level
are
all
<
LOQ.
Therefore,
tolerances
for
poultry
tissues
and
eggs
are
not
required
as
quantifiable
levels
of
propiconazole
are
unlikely
to
occur
in
these
commodities
[
40
CFR
180.6(
a)
(
3)].

The
Agency
notes
that
these
recommended
tolerance
revisions
are
relatively
conservative,
as
they
are
based
on
combined
residues
instead
of
propiconazole,
per
se.

The
Codex
Alimentarius
Commission
has
established
several
maximum
residue
limits
(
MRLs)
for
propiconazole
in/
on
various
raw
agricultural
commodities.
The
Codex
MRLs
are
expressed
in
terms
of
propiconazole
per
se,
which
is
the
same
as
the
US
tolerance
expression,
recommended
by
the
RED
for
existing
tolerances
and
for
the
new
uses
in
the
present
action.
In
addition,
both
Canada
and
Mexico
have
established
MRLs/
tolerances
on
several
commodities
which
also
have
U.
S.
tolerances.
To
the
extent
possible,
U.
S.
tolerances
have
been
harmonized
with
Codex,
Canadian,
and
Mexican
MRLs;
however,
differences
in
use
patterns
and
the
supporting
residue
data
have
precluded
reducing
many
tolerances.
A
comparison
of
Codex
MRLs,
Canadian
MRLs,
and
Mexican
tolerances
and
the
corresponding
U.
S.
tolerances
is
presented
in
Appendix
I.

The
tolerance
spreadsheet
recommended
a
tolerance
of
16
ppm
for
rice
grain
assuming
that
the
data
are
distributed
lognormally.
However,
an
examination
of
the
plot
suggests
that
the
data
are
not
log
normal;
therefore,
a
tolerance
of
7
ppm
was
selected
using
the
California
Method
(
µ
+
3 ).
Combined
residues
in/
on
rice
grain
were
<
0.05­
5.20
ppm
and
averaged
1.49
ppm.
5
Additional
residue

are

Therefore
only
a

is
being
recommended.
