\1\ The analytical enforcement methods for lambda-cyhalothrin are
applicable for determination of gamma-cyhalothrin residues in plant
and animal commodities.
(3) A food additive tolerance of 0.01 part per million is
established for residues of the insecticide [1[alpha](S*),3[alpha](Z)]-
()-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-
trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate
(lambdacyhalothrin) as follows:
(i) In or on all food items (other than those already covered by a
higher tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in food-handling
establishments where food products are held, processed, or prepared.
(ii) Application shall be limited solely to spot and/or crack and
crevice treatment with a spray solution maximum of a 0.06-percent active
ingredient by weight. Food must be removed or covered during treatment.
Spray should not be applied directly to surfaces or utensils that may
come into contact with food. Food-contact surfaces and equipment should
be thoroughly cleaned with an effective cleaning compound and rinsed
with potable water before using.
(iii) For spot treatment, a coarse low-pressure spray shall be used.
Limit individual spot treatments to an area no larger than 20 percent of
the surface area. Any individual spot treatment shall not exceed 2
square feet.
(iv) For crack and crevice treatment, equipment capable of
delivering a pin-stream of spray directly into the cracks and crevices
shall be used.
(v) To assure safe use of the additive, its label and labeling shall
conform to that registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and labeling.
(b) Section 18 emergency exemptions. Time-limited tolerances are
established for combined residues of the insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin
(a 1:1 mixture of (S)-[alpha]-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-(Z)-(1R,3R)-3-(2-
chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate

trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2-

[alpha]-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (Z)-(1R,3R)-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-

with use of the pesticide under section 18 emergency exemptions granted
by EPA. The tolerances will expire and are revoked on the dates
specified in the following table.
