Sec. 180.226  Diquat; tolerances for residues.

    (a) General. (1) Tolerances are established for residues of the 
plant growth regulator diquat [6,7-dihydrodipyrido (1,2-a:2(a) 
Tolerancprime;,1-c) pyrazinediium] derived from application of the

    (2)(i) Tolerances are established for residues of the herbicide 
diquat (6,7-dihydrodipyrido (1,2-a:2,1-c) pyrazinediium) (calculated as 
the cation) derived from the application of the dibromide salt to ponds, 
lakes, reservoirs, marshes, drainage ditches, canals, streams, and 
rivers which are slow-moving or quiescent in programs of the Corps of 
Engineers or other Federal or State public agencies and to ponds, lakes 
and drainage ditches only

    (ii) Where tolerances are established at higher levels from other 
uses of diquat on the subject crops, the higher tolerances applies also 
to residues of the aquatic uses cited in this paragraph.
    (3) Tolerances are established for the plant growth regulator diquat 
[6,7-dihydrodipyrido (1,2-a:2\1/4\,1\1/4\-c) pyrazinediium] derived from 
application of the dibromide salt and calculated as the cation in or on
