This proposal aims to align certain maximum residue limits for various agricultural and veterinary chemicals, so that they are consistent with other national regulations relating to the safe and effective use of agricultural and veterinary chemicals.
 
Among others, the amendment inserts the permitted residue of cyanamide in walnuts at T*0.02 ppm and cyprodinil in almonds at *0.01, and modifies the permitted residue of phosphorous acid in tree nuts at T3000. (* indicates that the maximum residue limit is set at the limit of determination; and ‘T’ indicates that the maximum residue limit is a temporary maximum residue limit).
 
The final date for comments is October 3, 2017.
