(2) Tolerances with regional registration are established for residues of S–metolachlor, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities identified in the following table below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified in the following table below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of free and bound S–metolachlor, S–2–chloro–N–(2–ethyl–6–methylphenyl)–N–(2–methoxy–1–methylethyl)acetamide, its R–enantiomer, and its metabolites, determined as the derivatives, 2–(2–ethyl–6–methylphenyl)amino–1–propanol and 4–(2–ethyl–6–methylphenyl)–2–hydroxy–5–methyl–3–morpholinone, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of S–metolachlor, in or on the commodity.
