Sec. 180.34  Tests on the amount of residue remaining.

    (a) Data in a petition on the amount of residue remaining in or on a 
raw agricultural commodity should establish the residue that may remain 
when the pesticide chemical is applied according to directions 
registered under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 
Act, or according to directions contained in an application for 
registration. These data should establish the residues that may remain 
under conditions most likely to result in high residues on the 
commodity.
    (b) The petition should establish the reliability of the residue 
data reported in it. Sufficient information should be submitted about 
the analytical method to permit competent analysts to apply it 
successfully.
    (c) If the pesticide chemical is absorbed into a living plant or 
animal when applied (is systemic), residue data may be needed on each 
plant or animal on which a tolerance or exemption is requested.
    (d) If the pesticide chemical is not absorbed into the living plant 
or animal when applied (is not systemic), it may be possible to make a 
reliable estimate of the residues to be expected on each commodity in a 
group of related commodities on the basis of less data than would be 
required for each commodity in the group, considered separately.
    (e) Each of the following groups of crops lists raw agricultural 
commodities that are considered to be related for the purpose of 
paragraph (d) of this section. Commodities not listed in this paragraph 
are not considered as related for the purpose of paragraph (d) of this 
section. This grouping of crops does not affect the certification of 
usefulness by the Administrator as contemplated by section 408(l) of the 
act.
