| 1 | 01 Jul 2026 | United States | All Trading Partner | Multiple commodities | "This regulation establishes tolerances for residues of fluoxapiprolin in or on the food and feed commodities of brassica head and stem vegetables (group 5-16); bulb vegetables (subgroups 3-07A and 3-07B); cucurbit vegetables (group 9); fruiting vegetables (group 8- 10); leafy vegetables (group 4-16); leaf petiole vegetables (subgroup 22B); lettuce head; small fruit vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit (subgroup 13-07F); and tuberous and corm vegetables (subgroup 1C). Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), Bayer CropScience submitted a petition to EPA requesting these tolerances.The Codex has proposed MRLs for fluoxapiprolin on grapes; grapes, dried; onion bulb; tomato; and potato. The US tolerances and proposed Codex MRLs for the following commodities are harmonized: grape, raisin and grapes, dried at 0.5 ppm; onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A and onion bulb at 0.03 ppm; and vegetable, tuberous and corm, subgroup 1C and potato at 0.01 ppm. The US tolerance and Codex MRL are not harmonized for grapes or vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 and tomato. EPA is establishing a tolerance for fruit, small, vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F at 0.2 ppm, which is higher than the proposed individual Codex MRL for grapes at 0.15 ppm. The US tolerance is based on available residue data and use by US growers consistent with approved label instructions could result in residues that exceed the Codex MRL. Harmonizing with the proposed Codex MRL could put US growers at risk of violative residues despite legal use. EPA is establishing a tolerance for vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 at 0.06 ppm, which is lower than the proposed individual Codex MRL for tomato at 0.07 ppm. Fluoxapiprolin is being jointly reviewed in the United States and Canada. For this joint review, the US tolerances and Canadian MRLs and associated tolerance expressions are harmonized between the United States and Canada. While Codex has proposed an MRL for tomato, the MRL is not yet established. Mexico has not established any fluoxapiprolin MRLs." | G/SPS/N/USA/3579 | 31 Aug 2026 |
