summary of interest.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

     1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as 
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
     2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments, 
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying 
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to 
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and 
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information 
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you 
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be 
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and 
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of 
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period 
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental 
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, 
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, 
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and 
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the 
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population 
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other 
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human 
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides 
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

     EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed 
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 
21 U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or modification of 
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in 
or on various food commodities. EPA has determined that the pesticide 
petitions described in this document contain the data or information 
prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully 
evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether 
the data support granting of the pesticide petitions. Additional data 
may be needed before EPA can make a final determination on these 
pesticide petitions.
     Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions 
that are the subject of this notice, prepared by the petitioner, is 
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket 
for each of the petitions is available on-line at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)), 
EPA is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an 
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or 
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food 
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained 
through the petition summary referenced in this unit.

New Tolerances

     1. PP 8E7394. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0713). BASF Corporation, PO Box 
13528, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish an 
import tolerance for residues of the fungicide pyraclostrobin, carbamic 
acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester and its metabolite methyl-
N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]o-tolyl] carbamate (BF 500-3); 
expressed as parent compound] in or on coffee, bean, green at 0.5 parts 
per million (ppm). The method of analysis in plants is aqueous organic 
solvent extraction, column clean up and quantitation by liquid 
chromatography/mass spectrometry/ mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). In 
animals the method of analysis involves base hydrolysis, organic 
extraction, column clean up and quantitation by LC/MS/MS or 
derivatization (methylation) followed by quantitation by gas 
chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Contact: John Bazuin, 703-
305-7381, [email protected].
     2.  PP 8E7419. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0730). Interregional Research 
Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Rd. East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 
08540 proposes to establish a tolerance for the combined residues of 
the herbicide, endothall, 7-oxabicylo[2,2,1]heptane-2,3-dicarboxylic 
acid and its monomethyl ester in or on vegetable root, and tuber group 
1 at 2 parts per million (ppm); vegetable, leaves of root and tuber, 
group 2 at 3.5 ppm; vegetable, bulb, group 3-07 at 2 ppm; vegetable, 
leafy, except brassica, group 4 at 3.5 ppm; vegetable, brassica, leafy, 
group 5 at 0.1 ppm; turnip, greens at 0.1 ppm; vegetable, legume, group 
6 at 3 ppm; vegetable, fruiting, group 8 at 0.05 ppm; okra at 0.05 ppm; 
vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 at 1.1 ppm; cilanto at 3.5ppm; fruit, 
citrus, group 10 at 0.05 ppm; fruit, pome, group 11 at 0.05 ppm; fruit, 
stone, group 12 at 0.25 ppm; berry and small fruit group 13-07 at 0.6 
ppm; small fruit vine climing subgroup, except fuzzy kiwifruit, 13-07F 
at 0.9 ppm; nut, tree, group 14, at 0.05 ppm; pistachio at 0.05 ppm; 
almond, hulls at 10 ppm; grain, cereal, group 15 at 2.5 ppm; grain, 
cereal, forage, fodder and hay, group 16, forage at 3.5 ppm; grain, 
cereal, forage, fodder and hay, group 16, hay at 5 ppm; grain, cereal, 
forage, fodder and hay, group 16, stover at 11 ppm; grain, cereal, 
forage, fodder and hay, group 16, straw at 6 ppm; grain, aspirated 
fractions at 24 ppm; grass, forage, fodder, and hay, group 17, forage 
at 3 ppm; grass, forage, fodder and hay, group 17, hay at 19 ppm; 
nongrass animal feed, group 18, forage at 3.5 ppm; nongrass animal 
feed, group 18, hay at 8 ppm; peppermint, tops at 7 ppm; spearmint, 
tops at 7 ppm; and rice, grain at 1.7 ppm; and rice, straw at 4.5 ppm. 
An adequate method for purposes of enforcement of the proposed 
endothall tolerances is available. The method uses a high performance 
liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) 
system. Separation is achieved using a reversed phase column. The 
molecular ions formed in negative ion mode were fragmented by collision 
with neutral gas. The method is capable of analyzing for residues of 
endothall on different crop matrices. Contact: Sidney Jackson, (703) 
305-7610, [email protected].
     3. PP 8E7427. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0731). IR-4, 500 College Rd. East, 
Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ, 08540, proposes to establish a tolerance for 
the combined residues of the fungicide cyazofamid, 4-chloro-2-cyano-
N,N-dimethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-1-sulfonamide (CA) and its 
metabolite CCIM, 4-chloro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-2-
carbonitrile (CA), in or on fruiting vegetables group 8 and okra at 0.8 
ppm; and establish a tolerance with regional registration, as defined 
in Sec. 180.1(n), for grapes - East of the Rocky Mountains at 1.5 ppm. 
The grape tolerance will change from the current import tolerance to a 
regional tolerance. Residues of cyazofamid and CCIM were extracted from 
20 grams of pepper with acetonitrile. After filtration, the extract was 
evaporated to near dryness and reconstituted with 2% sodium sulfate. 
The analytes were removed by partitioning with methylene chloride. 
After reconstitution in 50:50 acetonitrile: water, quantitation was 
achieved by LC/MS/MS. The method for grapes and tomatoes was discussed 
in a previous Federal Register notice on May 7, 2003. Contact: Laura 
Nollen, (703) 305-7390, [email protected].
     4. PP 8F7352. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0733). Syngenta Crop Protection, 
Regulatory Affairs, P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, proposes 
to establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide Acibenzolar S-
methyl, in or on vegetable, cucurbit, group 9) at 1.0 ppm. Syngenta 
Analytical Method AG-671A is a practical and valid method for the 
determination and confirmation of acibenzolar S-methyl (CGA245704) in 
raw agricultural commodities (RAC) and processing substrates from the 
tobacco, leafy (including brassica) and fruiting vegetable crop groups 
at a LOQ of 0.02 ppm. Based on recoveries of dry bulb onion samples 
fortified at the lower limit of method validation, the limit of 
detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were calculated as 
0.013 and 0.040 ppm, respectively. The method involves extraction, 
solid phase cleanup of samples with analysis by high performance liquid 
chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection or confirmatory 
liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/)MS). The validity is 
demonstrated by the acceptable accuracy and precision obtained on 
numerous procedural recovery samples (radiovalidation and field trial 
sample sets), and by the extractability and accountability obtained by 
the analysis of weathered radioactive substrates using Analytical 
Method AG-671A. Contact: Tawanda Maignan, (703) 308-8050, 
[email protected].
     5. PP 8F7385. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0713). BASF Corporation, PO Box 
13528, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish 
tolerances for residues of the fungicide, pyraclostrobin, carbamic 
acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester and its metabolite methyl-
N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]o-tolyl] carbamate (BF 500-3); 
expressed as parent compound in or on Sorghum, forage at 5.0 ppm; 
Sorghum, grain at 0.5 ppm; and sorghum, stover at 0.8 ppm. The method 
of analysis in plants is aqueous organic solvent extraction, column 
clean up and quantitation by LC/MS/MS. In animals the method of 
analysis involves base hydrolysis, organic extraction, column clean up 
and quantitation by LC/MS/MS or derivatization (methylation) followed 
by quantitation by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

     6. PP 8F7406. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0704). Arysta LifeScience North 
America, LLC, 15401 Weston Parkway, Suite 150, Cary, NC 27513, proposes 
to establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide fluoxastrobin, 
(1E)-[2-[[6-(2-chlorophenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimydinyl]oxy]phenyl](5,6-
dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)methanone O-methyloxime, and its Z isomer, 
(1Z)-[2-[[6-(2-chlorophenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimydinyl]oxy]phenyl](5,6-
dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)methanone O-methyloxime] in or on berry, 
low growing, subgroup 13-07G at 1.9 ppm. Adequate analytical 
methodology using LC/MS/MS detection is available for enforcement 
purposes. Contact: John Bazuin, (703) 305-7381, [email protected].
     7. PP 8F7410. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0848). Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. 
Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park,

[[Page 73647]]

NC 27709, proposes to establish a tolerance for the indirect or 
inadvertent residues of the fungicide fenamidone (4H-imidazol-4-
one,3,5-dihydro-5-methyl-2-(methylthio)-5-phenyl-3-(phenylamino)-,(S)-) 
and its metabolite RPA 717879 (2,4-imidazolidinedione, 5-methyl-5-
phenyl), in or on corn, field, forage at 0.50 ppm; corn, field, grain 
at 0.02 ppm; corn, stover at 0.35 ppm; corn, sweet, forage at 0.15 ppm; 
corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husks removed at 0.20 ppm; soybean, 
forage at 0.20 ppm; soybean, hay at 0.20 ppm; and soybean, seed at 0.02 
ppm. Although residue levels approaching the proposed tolerances are 
unlikely, independently validated enforcement methods are available for 
determining residues of fenamidone and relevant metabolites. Residues 
are quantified by HPLC with tandem mass spectrometric detection. The 
method LOQ are 0.02 ppm or lower for fenamidone, and its metabolites, 
RPA 412636, RPA 412708, and RPA 410193 in test raw agricultural 
commodities and processed fractions. Contact: Rosemary Kearns, (703) 
305-5611, [email protected].

Amendment to Existing Tolerances

     1. PP 8E7427. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0731). IR-4, 500 College Rd. East, 
Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ, 08540, proposes to delete the existing 
tolerance in 40 CFR 180.601 for the combined residues of the fungicide 
cyazofamid, 4-chloro-2-cyano-N,N-dimethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-
imidazole-1-sulfonamide (CA) and its metabolite CCIM, 4-chloro-5-(4-
methylphenyl)-1H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile (CA), in or on tomato at 0.2 
ppm since the proposed fruiting vegetable crop group tolerance will 
replace the current tomato tolerance under ``New Tolerance'' No. 2. In 
addition, the grape tolerance will change from the existing import 
tolerance to a regional tolerance under ``New Tolerance'' No. 2. 
Contact: Laura Nollen, (703) 305-7390, [email protected].
     2. PP 8F7390. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0713). BASF Corporation, PO Box 
13528, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to increase the 
tolerance in 40 CFR 180.582 for residues of the fungicide 
pyraclostrobin, carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester and its metabolite methyl-
N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]o-tolyl] carbamate (BF 500-3); 
expressed as parent compound] in or on fruit, stone, group 12 from 0.9 
to 2.5 ppm. The method of analysis in plants is aqueous organic solvent 
extraction, column clean up and quantitation by LC/MS/MS. In animals 
the method of analysis involves base hydrolysis, organic extraction, 
column clean up and quantitation by LC/MS/MS or derivatization 
(methylation) followed by quantitation by GC/MS. Contact: John Bazuin, 
(703) 305-7381, [email protected].

New Exemption from Tolerance

     PP 8F7401. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0993). Dow AgroSciences LLC, 9330 
Zionsville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46268, proposes to establish an 
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the 
herbicide florasulam, in or on turfgrass. Adequate enforcement method 
for the combined residues of florasulam is available to enforce the 
tolerance expression in or on food. The analytical method uses 
capillary gas chromatography and mass selective detection (GC-MSD). The 
LOQ of the method is 0.01 ug/g for grain and 0.05 ug/g for forage, hay 
and straw. A suitable GC/MSD analytical method is available for 
measuring florasulam in small grain commodities for enforcing the above 
tolerances. Contact: Dianne L. Morgan, (703) 305-6217, 
[email protected].

New Exemption from an Inert Tolerance

     1. PP 8E7422. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0725). The Joint Inerts Task Force, 
Cluster Support Team 24, 1156 15th St., N.W., Suite 400, Washington, DC 
20005, proposes to establish an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance in 40 CFR 180.910 and in 40 CFR 180.930 ii for residues of 
Sodium N-oleoyl-N-methyl taurine (CAS No. 137-20-2) when used as a 
pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide formulations in or on all raw 
agricultural commodities. Because this petition is a request for an 
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance, no analytical method is 
required. Contact: Karen Samek, (703) 347-8825, [email protected].
     2. PP 8E7382. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0738). The Joint Inerts Task Force 
(JITF), Cluster Support Team Number 4 (CST 4), EPA Company Number 
84940, c/o CropLife America, 1156 15th Street, N.W., Suite 400, 
Washington, DC 20005, proposes to establish an exemption from the 
requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.920 for residues of Alkyl 
Amine Polyalkoxylates (hereafter referred to as AAP) in or on all raw 
agricultural commodities when used as a pesticide inert ingredient in 
pesticide formulations. This tolerance expression includes the 
following:
    Section 180.920: N, N-Bis-[[alpha]-ethyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly(oxy-
1,2-ethanediyl)] C8-C18 saturated and unsaturated alkylamines; the 
poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) content is 2-60 moles. Concentration in 
formulated pesticide end-use products not to exceed 25% by weight in 
herbicide products and 10% by weight in all other pesticide products.
