Suspended 

Your product will remain suspended, 

however, until the Agency determines 

you are in compliance with the 

requirements which are the bases of this 

notice and so informs you in writing. 

After the suspension becomes final 

and effective, the registrant(s) subject to 

this notice, including all supplemental 

registrants of product(s) listed in Table 

1 of Unit II., may not legally distribute, 

sell, use, offer for sale, hold for sale, 

ship, deliver for shipment, or receive 

and (having so received) deliver or offer 

to deliver, to any person, the product(s) 

listed in Table 1 of Unit II. Persons other 

than the registrant(s) subject to this 

notice, as defined in the preceding 

sentence, may continue to distribute, 

sell, use, offer for sale, hold for sale, 

ship, deliver for shipment, or receive 

and (having so received) deliver or offer 

to deliver, to any person, the product(s) 

listed in Table 1 of Unit II. Nothing in 

this notice authorizes any person to 

distribute, sell, use, offer for sale, hold 

for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or 

receive and (having so received) deliver 

or offer to deliver, to any person, the 

product(s) listed in Table 1 of Unit II. in 

any manner which would have been 

unlawful prior to the suspension. 

If the registration(s) for your 

product(s) listed in Table 1 of Unit II. 

are currently suspended as a result of 

failure to comply with another FIFRA 

section 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In notice or 

Section 4 Data Requirements notice, this 

notice, when it becomes a final and 

effective order of suspension, will be in 

addition to any existing suspension, i.e., 

all requirements which are the bases of 

the suspension must be satisfied before 

the registration will be reinstated. 

It is the responsibility of the basic 

registrant to notify all supplementary 

registered distributors of a basic 

registered product that this suspension 

action also applies to their 

supplementary registered products. The 

basic registrant may be held liable for 

violations committed by their 

distributors.

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,

New Tolerance Exemptions 

1. PP 0E7686. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010– 

0233). Dow Agrosciences, LLC, 9330 

Zionsville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46268, 

proposes to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of choline hydroxide (CAS No. 

123–41–1) under 40 CFR 180.920 when 

used as a pesticide inert ingredient in 

pesticide formulations. A limitation for 

use as a neutralizing agent in herbicideonly products is proposed. Based on the 

proposed use, the choline cation is the 

species of interest for end-use products. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because it is not 

required for an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. Contact:

2. PP 0E7692. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010– 

0231). Rhodia, Inc. c/o SciReg, Inc., 

12733 Director’s Loop, Woodbridge, VA 

22192, proposes to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of castor oil, 

ethoxylated, oleate (CAS No. 220037– 

02–5) with a minimum number average 

molecular weight (in amu) of 1,200 

under 40 CFR 180.960 when used as an 

emulsifier and surfactant pesticide inert 

ingredient in pesticide formulations. 

Rhodia is requesting that castor oil, 

ethoxylated, oleate, with a minimum 

number average molecular weight (in 

amu) of 1,200 be exempt from the 

requirement of a tolerance based upon 

the definition of a low-risk polymer 

under 40 CFR 723.250. Therefore, 

Rhodia believes that an analytical 

method to determine residues in treated 

crops is not relevant. Contact: Karen

3. PP 9E7648. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010– 

0232). Exponent Inc., 1150 Connecticut 

Ave., NW., Suite 1100, Washington, DC 

20036, on behalf of Plant Impact plc, 12 

S. Preston Office Village, Cuerdan Way, 

Bamber Bridge, Preston, PR5 6BL, 

United Kingdom, proposes to establish 

a low risk polymer exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of Castor oil, ethoxylated, dioleate (CAS 

No. 110531–96–9) under 40 CFR 

180.960 when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient with a surfactant function in 

pesticide formulations. The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because it is not required for an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. Contact: Deirdre Sunderland, 

(703) 603–0851, e-mail address:

4. PP 0F7695. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010– 

0261). BASF Corporation, P.O. Box 

13528, Research Triangle Park, NC, 

27709, proposes to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for the metabolites of 

ametoctradin, M650F03, (7-amino-5- 

ethyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-6- 

y-l)acetic acid, and M650F04, 7-amino5-ethyl[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine6-carboxylic acid in or on all food crops. 

The proposed enforcement method for 

ametoctradin was fully validated. 

Ametoctradin is extracted with a 

mixture of methanol/water. An aliquot 

of the extract is centrifuged and 

partitioned against dichloromethane. 

The final determination of ametoctradin 

is performed by high performance liquid 

chromatography-mass spectrometry 

(HPLC-MS/MS). This method has an 

LOQ of 0.01 mg/kg and is suitable for 

enforcement purposes. Contact: Shaunta
