(a) General. Tolerances are established for residues of permethrin, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only permethrin [(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate], as the sum of its cis- and trans- isomers in or on the commodity.

1 There are no United States registrations for use of permethrin on tea, plucked leaves as of July 28, 2020.

(b) Section 18 emergency exemptions. [Reserved]

(c) Tolerances with regional registrations. Tolerances with regional registrations, as defined in § 180.1(l), are established for residues of permethrin, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table below. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified below is to be determined by measuring only permethrin [(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl 3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate], as the sum of its cis- and trans- isomers in or on the commodity.

Commodity	Parts per million	Collards	15	Fruit, small, vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit, subgroup 13-07F	2	Grass, forage	15	Grass, hay	15	Papaya	1.0	Turnip, tops	10	Turnip, roots	0.20
