9. PP 8F7342. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-00461). Syngenta Crop Protection,
Inc., 410 Swing Rd., P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419, proposes to
establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide mandipropamid,
benzeneacetamide, 4-chloro-N-[2-[3-methoxy-4-(2-propynyloxy)
phenyl]ethyl-alpha-(2-propynyloxy)] in or on food commodity hops at 50
ppm. Analytical method RAM 415-01 was developed for determination of
mandipropamid residues in crops. This method involves extraction of
mandipropamid residues from crop samples by homogenization with
acetonitrile:water (80:20 v/v). Extracts are centrifuged and aliquots
diluted with water prior to being cleaned up using polymeric solid-
phase extraction cartridges. Residues of mandipropamid are quantified
using high performance liquid chromatography with LC-MS/MS. This method
has been successfully validated at an independent facility and
therefore is suitable for use as the enforcement method for the
determination of residues of mandipropamid in crops. Contact: Rosemary
Kearns, (703) 305-5611, [email protected].
Amendment to Existing Tolerance
1. PP 7F7190. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0366). Nichino America, Inc., 4550
New Linden Hill Rd., Suite 501, Wilmington, DE 19808, proposes to amend

5-difluoromethoxy-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-4-fluorophenoxyacetate] and
its acid metabolite, E-1 [2-chloro-5-(4-chloro-5-difluoromethoxy-1-
methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-4-fluorophenoxyacetic acid], expressed in terms
of the parent, in or on food commodities soybeans, seed to 0.05 ppm;
soybeans, hay to 0.1 ppm; wheat, forage to 0.02 ppm; and wheat, hay to
0.01 ppm. Aqueous organic solvent extraction, column clean up, and
quantitation by gas chromatography is used to measure and evaluate the
chemical residues. Contact: James M. Stone, (703) 305-7391,
[email protected].
2. PP 7F7306. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0384). Monsanto Company (a member of
the Acetochlor Registration Partnership, ARP), 1300 I Street NW, Suite
450 East, Washington DC 20005, proposes to amend the tolerances in 40
CFR 180.470 for residues of the herbicide acetochlor (2-chloro-2'-
methyl-6'-ethyl-N-ethoxymethylacetanilide) and its metabolites
containing either the 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline (EMA) or the 2-(1-
hydroxyethyl)-6-methyl-aniline (HEMA) moiety, to be expressed as
acetochlor equivalents, in or on the food commodities when present
therein as a result of the application of acetochlor to soil or growing
crops: corn, field, forage at 4.5 ppm and corn, field, stover at 3.0
ppm. An adequate enforcement method for residues of acetochlor in crops
has been approved. Acetochlor and its metabolites are hydrolyzed to
either EMA or HEMA, which are determined by high performance liquid
chromatography-oxidative coulometric electrochemical detector (HPLC-
OCED) and expressed as acetochlor equivalents. Contact: Vickie Walters,
(703) 305-5704, [email protected].
3. PP 7F7307. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0385). E. I. du Pont de Nemours and
Company, DuPont Crop Protection, Laurel Run Plaza, P.O. Box 80038,
Wilmington, DE 19880-0038, proposes to amend the tolerances in 40 CFR
180.364 by establishing tolerances for the combined residues of the
herbicide glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] and its metabolite N-
acetylglyphosate [N-acetyl-N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] resulting from
the application of glyphosate, the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate,
the ethanolamine salt of glyphosate, the ammonium salt of glyphosate,
and the potassium salt of glyphosate to OptimumTM GATTM field corn, in
or on the food commodities: Field corn, grain; field corn, forage;
field corn, stover; and field corn, aspirated grain fractions at levels
already established for glyphosate alone. An analytical method was
developed, and validated, for the determination of glyphosate and
degradate residues in transgenic crop and crop fraction matrices. The
analytes examined included glyphosate and N-acetylglyphosate since N-
acetylglyphosate is a metabolite associated with transgenic crops
containing the glyphosate N-acetyltransferase (gat) enzyme. The method
target LOQ in each matrix examined was 0.050 mg/kg (ppm). The method
was validated at 0.050 milligrams/kilograms (mg/kg) and 0.50 mg/kg or
higher fortification level using a LC/MS/MS system operating with an
electrospray interface (ESI) in positive ion mode detection. An
analytical method was developed, and validated, for the determination
of N-acetylglyphosate, glyphosate, AMPA, and N-acetyl AMPA in animal
matrices including milk, eggs, muscle, kidney, liver, and fat. The
method target LOQ in glyphosate equivalents for each analyte was 0.025
mg/kg in egg, milk, and muscle matrices and 0.050 mg/kg in kidney,
liver, and fat matrices. The method was validated at the respective LOQ
and 10xLOQ level for each matrix using a LC/MS/MS system operating with
an electrospray interface (ESI) in positive or negative ion mode
detection. Contact: Vickie Walters, (703) 305-5704,

New Exemption from Tolerance
1. PP 6E7093. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0105). Huntsman Corporation, 8600
Gosling Rd., The Woodlands, TX 77381, proposes to amend 40 CFR 180 by
establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under 40
CFR 180.910, 40 CFR 180.920, and 40 CFR 180.930 for residues of
morpholine 4-C6-12 Acyl derivatives (CAS Reg. No. 887947-29-7) when
used as a pesticide inert ingredient as a solvent in pesticide
formulations applied to growing food crops, post harvest applications,
and to animals. Because this petition is a request for an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance, no analytical method is required.
