    (a) The tolerances established for pesticide chemicals in this 

subpart C apply to residues resulting from their application prior to 

harvest or slaughter, unless otherwise stated. Tolerances are expressed 

in terms of parts by weight of the pesticide chemical per one million 

parts by weight of the raw agricultural commodity.

    (b) The poisonous and deleterious substances for which tolerances 

are established by the regulations in this subpart C are named by their 

common names wherever practicable, otherwise by their chemical names.

    (c) The analytical methods to be used for determining whether 

pesticide residues, including negligible residues, in or on raw 

agricultural commodities are in compliance with the tolerances 

established in this part 180 are identified among the methods contained 

or referenced in the Food and Drug Administration's ``Pesticide 

Analytical Manual'' which is available from the Food and Drug 

Administration, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 200 C
