Carboxin; Pesticide Tolerance
This regulation (final rule) establishes a tole rance for combined residues of carboxin (5,6-
dihydro-2-methyl-N-phenyl-1,4-oxathiin-3-carboxamide) and its metabolite 5,6-dihydro-3-
carboxanilide-2-methyl-1,4-oxathiin-4-oxide (calculated as carboxin) (from treatment of seed prior to
planting) in or on onion, dry bulb.  The petitioner requested this tolerance under the Federal Food,Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.  In addition, this
regulatory action is part of the tolerance reassessment requirements of section 408(q) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), as amended by the Food Quality
Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. By law, EPA is required to reassess 66 per cent of the tolerances in
existence on 2 August 1996, by August 2002, or about 6,400 tolerances.  This regulatory action will
count for 47 reassessments toward the August 2002 deadline.
