# §180.578. Acetamiprid; tolerances for residues.

- (a) **General.**
  - (1) Tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide acetamiprid (1E)-N-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N'-cyano-N-methylethanimidamide, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below as a result of the application of acetamiprid. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only acetamiprid in or on the following commodities.
  - (2) Tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide acetamiprid (1E)-N-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N′-cyano-N-methylethanimidamide, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below as a result of the application of acetamiprid. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring acetamiprid and (1E)-N-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N′-cyano-N-ethanimidamide in or on the following commodities.
  - (3) A tolerances of 0.01 ppm is established for residues of the insecticide acetamiprid, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on all food/feed items (other than those covered by a higher tolerance in paragraph [(a)(1)](#a-1) or [(a)(2)](#a-2) of this section as a result of the use on growing crops) as a result of the application of acetamiprid in food/feed handling establishments. Compliance with the 0.01 ppm tolerance level is to be determined by measuring only acetamiprid (1E)-N-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N′-cyano-N-methylethanimidamide in or on the commodities.
- (b) **Section 18 emergency exemptions.** Time-limited tolerances specified in the following table are established for residues of the acetamiprid, (1E)-N-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N'-cyano-N-methylethanimidamide, in or on the specified agricultural commodities, resulting from use of the pesticide pursuant to FIFRA [section 18](/cfr/40/18.md) emergency exemptions. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only acetamiprid. The tolerances expire on the date specified in the table.
- (c) **Tolerances with regional registrations.** Tolerances with regional registrations are established for residues of the insecticide acetamiprid (1E)-N-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N′-cyano-N-methylethanimidamide, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below as a result of the application of acetamiprid. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only acetamiprid in or on the following commodities.
- (d) **Indirect or inadvertent residues.** [Reserved]
