(a) General.

(1) Tolerances are established for residues of diflubenzuron, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only diflubenzuron (N–[[(4–chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]–2,6–difluorobenzamide).

(2) Tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide diflubenzuron (N–[[(4–chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]–2,6–difluorobenzamide), in or on the commodities in the table below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of diflubenzuron (N–[[(4–chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]–2,6–difluorobenzamide), 4–chlorophenylyurea and 4–chloroaniline, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of diflubenzuron, in or on the commodity.

Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only the sum of diflubenzuron (N–[[(4–chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]–2,6–difluorobenzamide), 4–chlorophenylyurea and 4–chloroaniline, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of diflubenzuron, in or on the commodity. The tolerances are specified in the following table, and will expire and are revoked on the dates specified.
