shellfish. However, the Board will 

provide Federally recognized Tribes and 

Alaska Native Corporations an 

opportunity to consult on this proposed 

rule. Consultation with Alaska Native 

Corporations are based on Public Law 

108–199, div. H, Sec. 161, Jan. 23, 2004, 

118 Stat. 452, as amended by Public 

Law 108–447, div. H, title V, Sec. 518, 

Dec. 8, 2004, 118 Stat. 3267, which 

provides that: ‘‘The Director of the 

Office of Management and Budget and 

all Federal agencies shall hereafter 

consult with Alaska Native corporations 

on the same basis as Indian tribes under 

Executive Order No. 13175.’’ 

The Secretaries, through the Board, 

will provide a variety of opportunities 

for consultation: Engaging in dialogue at 

the Regional Council meetings; engaging 

in dialogue at the Board’s meetings; and 

providing input in person, by mail, 

email, or phone at any time during the 

rulemaking process. 

Executive Order 13211 

This Executive Order requires 

agencies to prepare Statements of 

Energy Effects when undertaking certain 

actions. However, this proposed rule is 

not a significant regulatory action under 

E.O. 13211, affecting energy supply, 

distribution, or use, and no Statement of 

Energy Effects is required. 

Clarity of the Rule 

We are required by Executive Orders 

12866 and 12988, and by the 

Presidential Memorandum of June 1, 

1998, to write all rules in plain 

language. This means that each rule we 

publish must: 

(a) Be logically organized; 

(b) Use the active voice to address 

readers directly; 

(c) Use clear language rather than 

jargon; 

(d) Be divided into short sections and 

sentences; and 

(e) Use lists and tables wherever 

possible. 

If you feel that we have not met these 

requirements, send us comments by one 

of the methods listed in ADDRESSES. To 

better help us revise the proposed rule, 

your comments should be as specific as 

possible.

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 email. 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 preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

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, EPA 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 EPA 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, requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. EPA is taking public 

comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain the data or 

information prescribed in FFDCA 

section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(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. After 

considering the public comments, EPA 

intends to evaluate whether and what 

action may be warranted. 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 document, 

prepared by the petitioner, is included 

in a docket EPA has created for each 

rulemaking. The docket for each of the 

petitions is available 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 petitions so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on these requests for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petitions may be 

obtained through the petition 

summaries referenced in this unit.

New Tolerance Exemptions 

1. PP 2F8102. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2012– 

0963). BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Dr., 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of the fungicide 

Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R 

in or on all food commodities. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because, as proposed, the use 

of Trichoderma asperelloides strain 

JM41R would not result in residues that 

are of toxicological concern. Note: In the 

Federal Register of February 21, 2014 

(79 FR 9870) (FRL–9904–98), EPA 

announced the filing of this petition to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of Trichoderma fertile strain JM41R in 

or on all food commodities. Since that 

time, the petitioner provided additional 

data on the identity of the active 

ingredient to EPA. After reviewing these 

data, EPA now considers the correct 

identity of the active ingredient to be 

Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R 

and not Trichoderma fertile strain 

JM41R. In order to give the public an 

opportunity to comment on this new 

information, EPA is republishing its 

receipt of this tolerance exemption 

petition filing with an updated and 

accurate description. Contact: BPPD. 

2. PP 4F8252. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0920). Certis USA LLC, 9145 Guilford 

Rd., Suite 175, Columbia, MD 21046, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of the fungicide 

Bacillus mycoides isolate J, in or on all 

agricultural commodities. The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance is being 

sought for any residues and enforcement 

of residue levels would not be needed. 

Contact: BPPD. 

3. PP 4F8271. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0919). Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc., 

2121 Second St., Suite B–107, Davis, CA 

95618, requests to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of the nematocide, fungicide, 

and insecticide, sterile grain inoculated 

with Muscodor albus strain SA–13, in or 

on all food commodities. The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because the active ingredient will not be 

in direct contact with treated 

commodities, has limited survivability 

once the nutrient source is exhausted, 

and will not result in residues of 

toxicological concern. Contact: BPPD. 

4. PP 4F8276. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0454). Monsanto Company, 800 North 

Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63167, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 174 for residues of the plantincorporated protectant, Bacillus 

thuringiensis Cry2Ab2 protein, in or on 

soybean. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought. Contact: 

BPPD. 

5. PP 4F8289. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0834). Southern Garden Citrus, 1820 

Country Rd. 833, Clewiston, FL 33440, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 174 for residues of defensin 

proteins derived from spinach (Spinacia 

oleracea L.) and inserted into citrus 

plants in order to confer disease 

resistance. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought. Contact: 

BPPD. 

6. PP IN–10683. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2014–0176). Exponent, Inc., 1150 

Connecticut Ave. NW., Suite 1100, 

Washington, DC 20036 (on behalf of 

Huntsman Corporation, 8600 Gosling 

Rd., The Woodlands, TX 77381), 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of di-n-butyl 

carbonate (CAS No. 542–52–9) when 

used as a pesticide inert ingredient in 

pesticide formulations as a solvent 

without limits. The petitioner believes 

no analytical method is needed because 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought for this inert 

ingredient. Contact: RD. 

7. PP IN–10770. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2014–0874). BASF Corporation, 100 

Park Ave., Florham Park, NJ 07932, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.960 for residues of 2-propenoic 

acid, polymer with ethenyl acetate, 

ethenylbenzene, 2-ethylhexyl 2- 

propenoate and ethyl 2-propenoate 

(CAS No. 85075–52–1) with a minimum 

number average molecular weight (in 

amu) of 50,000 Daltons, when used as 

a pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not relevant based upon the definition 

of a low risk polymer under 40 CFR 

723.250. Contact: RD.
