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.
