    (2) A tolerance of 0.05 ppm is established for residues of the 
insecticide deltamethrin (1R,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-
dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (S)-alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl 
ester and its major metabolites, trans deltamethrin (S)-alpha-cyano-m-
phenoxybenzyl-(1R,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-
dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and alpha-R-deltamethrin[(R)-alpha-
cyano-m-phenoxybenzyl-(1R,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-
dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] as follows:
    (i) In or on all food/feed items (other than those covered by a 
higher tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in food/feed 
handling establishments.
    (ii) The insecticide may be present as a residue from application of 
deltamethrin in food handling establishments, including food service, 
manufacturing and processing establishments, such as restaurants, 
cafeterias, supermarkets, bakeries, breweries, dairies, meat 
slaughtering and packing plants, and canneries, feed handling 
establishments including feed manufacturing and processing 
establishments, in accordance with the following prescribed conditions:

served. General surface application may be used only when the facility 
is not in operation provided exposed food/feed has been covered or 
removed from the area being treated. Spot and/or crack and crevice 
application may be used while the facility is in operation provided 
exposed food/feed is covered or removed from the area being treated 
prior to application. Spray concentration shall be limited to a maximum 
of 0.06 percent active ingredient. Contamination of food/feed or food/
feed contact surfaces shall be avoided.
    (B) To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling 
shall conform to that registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency and shall be used in accordance with such label and labeling.
