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 a typical 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 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. EPA has determined 

that the pesticide petitions described in 

this notice 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

New Tolerances 

1. PP 9E7554. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007– 

0099). Nichino America, Inc., 4550 New 

Linden Hill Road, Suite 501, 

Wilmington, DE 19808, proposes to 

establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 

for residues of the insecticide 

flubendiamide, (N2-[1,1-dimethyl-2- 

(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-3-iodo- N1-[2- 

methyl-4-[1,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-1- 

(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]phenyl-1,2- 

benzenedicarboxamide, in or on rice, 

grain at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). 

Independently validated, analytical 

methods for crop matrices have been 

submitted for measuring flubendiamide. 

Typically, plant matrices samples are 

extracted, concentrated, and quantified 

by liquid chromatography/mass 

spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/ 

MS/MS) using deuterated internal 

standards. Contact: Carmen Rodia, (703)

2. PP 9E7652. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

1008). The Interregional Research 

Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road 

East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540, 

proposes to establish tolerances in 40 

CFR part 180 for residues of the 

insecticide bifenthrin, (2-methyl [1,1′- 

biphenyl]-3-yl) methyl-3-(2-chloro3,3,3,-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2- 

dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate), in 

or on tea (import tolerance) at 25 ppm; 

and tolerances with regional 

registrations in or on grass, forage at 2.5 

ppm and grass, hay at 4.5 ppm. There 

is a practical analytical method for 

detecting and measuring levels of 

bifenthrin in or on food with a limit of 

detection (LOD) that allows monitoring 

of food with residues at or above the 

levels set in these tolerances: Gas 

chromatography with electron capture 

detection (GC/ECD). Contact: Laura 

Nollen, (703) 305–7390, e-mail address:

3. PP 9E7659. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

1009). The Interregional Research 

Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road 

East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540, 

proposes to establish tolerances in 40 

CFR part 180 for the combined residues 

of the fungicide propiconazole, (1-[[2- 

(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3- 

dioxolan-2-yl] methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole) 

and its metabolites determined as 2,4- 

dichlorobenzoic acid and expressed as 

parent compound, in or on onion, bulb, 

subgroup 3-07A at 0.2 ppm; onion, 

green, subgroup 3-07B at 9.0 ppm; 

caneberry subgroup 13-07A at 1.0 ppm; 

bushberry subgroup 13-07B at 1.0 ppm; 

and low growing berry subgroup 13- 

07G, except cranberry at 1.3 ppm. 

Analytical methods AG-626 and AG454A were developed for the 

determination of residues of 

propiconazole and its metabolites 

containing the dichlorobenzoic acid 

(DCBA) moiety. Analytical method AG626 has been accepted and published by 

EPA as the tolerance enforcement 

method for crops. The limit of 

quantitation (LOQ) for the method is 

0.05 ppm. Contact: Andrew Ertman,

4. PP 9E7669. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010– 

0102). The Interregional Research 

Project No. 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road 

East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540, 

proposes to establish tolerances in 40 

CFR part 180 for residues of the 

herbicide, triflusulfuron methyl, 2 [[[[[4- 

(dimethylamino)-6-(2,2,2- 

trifluoroethoxy)-1,3,5-triazin-2- 

yl]amino]carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]-3- 

methylbenzoate, in or on beet, garden, 

roots at 0.01 ppm; and beet, garden, tops 

at 0.02 ppm. A method for quantitation 

of triflusulfuron methyl in garden beets 

uses a high performance liquid 

chromatograph (HPLC) with eluent and 

column-switching and ultra-violet (UV) 

detection at 232 nanometer (nm) for the 

determination of triflusulfuron methyl 

residues in garden beet foliage and 

roots. Sample clean-up is achieved 

through reversed phase chromatography 

using eluent-switching. Columnswitching provides the resolution 

required for quantitation of 

triflusulfuron methyl. The calculated 

LOQ values were 0.0069 ppm for roots 

and 0.0044 ppm on tops (leaves) 

respectively. Triflusulfuron methyl is 

detected at levels as low as 0.005 ppm. 

Triflusulfuron methyl recoveries 

averaged 99% for foliage and 110% for 

roots. Contact: Laura Nollen, (703) 305–
