Rule
Summary
The EPA is giving cranberry growers a three-year extension to use the pesticide propyzamide under an emergency exemption, allowing safe levels of residue on cranberries until December 31, 2028.

Cranberry growers get 3-year pesticide tolerance
The EPA extends a time-limited tolerance for the pesticide propyzamide on cranberries at 1 part per million (1 ppm) for an additional three-year period that expires on December 31, 2028. The rule is effective November 26, 2025 and follows an emergency exemption authorizing use to control dodder in Massachusetts.
Lawful residues remain legal after expiration
If propyzamide was applied lawfully while the tolerance was in place, residues on cranberries at or below the authorized level will not be unlawful after the tolerance expires on December 31, 2028. This protection applies to residues resulting from applications that were lawful under FIFRA and when the tolerance existed.
