I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532).

the applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the person 

listed at the end of the pesticide petition 

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 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 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), requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. The Agency 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 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 35 / Friday, February 21, 2014 / Proposed Rules 9871 

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. 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 online 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 Tolerance 

1. PP 3E8162. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2013– 

0714). Technology Sciences Group on 

behalf of Isagro S.p.A., 1150 18th Street 

NW., Suite 1000, Washington, DC 

20036, requests to establish import 

tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of the fungicide benalaxyl-M, 

in or on grape at 1.1 parts per million 

(ppm); grape, juice at 1.1 ppm; grape, 

wine at 1.1 ppm; grape, raisin at 2.2 

ppm; tomato at 0.25 ppm; and tomato, 

processed at 0.25 ppm. The liquid 

chromatography (LC) with a mass 

spectrometer (MS) detector is used to 

measure and evaluate residues of 

benalaxyl-M for the proposed uses. (RD) 

2. PP 3E8212. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2013– 

0768). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR–4), 500 College Road East, 

Suite 201 W., Princeton, NJ 08540, 

requests to establish tolerances in 40 

CFR part 180 for residues of the 

herbicide pendimethalin, [N-(1- 

ethylpropyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2,6- 

dinitrobenzenamine], and its metabolite, 

4-[(1-ethylpropyl)amino]-2-methyl-3,5- 

dinitrobenzyl alcohol, calculated as the 

stoichiometric equivalent of 

pendimethalin, in or on berry, low 

growing subgroup 13–07G at 0.1 ppm; 

fruit, citrus, group 10–10 at 0.1 ppm; 

fruit, pome, group 11–10 at 0.1 ppm; 

fruit, stone, group 12–12 at 0.1 ppm; 

hops, dried cones at 0.1 ppm; onion, 

bulb subgroup 3–07A at 0.1 ppm; onion, 

green subgroup 3–07B at 0.2 ppm; 

sunflower, subgroup 20B at 0.1 ppm; 

and vegetable, fruiting, group 8–10 at 

0.1 ppm. In plants, the analytical 

method is aqueous organic solvent 

extraction, column clean up, and 

quantitation by gas chromatography 

(GC). The method has a limit of 

quantitation (LOQ) of 0.05 ppm for 

pendimethalin and the alcohol 

metabolite. (RD) 

Amended Tolerance 

PP 3E8212. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2013– 

0768). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR–4), 500 College Road East, 

Suite 201 W., Princeton, NJ 08540, 

requests to remove the existing 

tolerances in 40 CFR 180.361 for 

residues of the herbicide pendimethalin, 

[N-(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2,6- 

dinitrobenzenamine], and its metabolite, 

4-[(1-ethylpropyl)amino]-2-methyl-3,5- 

dinitrobenzyl alcohol, calculated as the 

stoichiometric equivalent of 

pendimethalin, in or on fruit, citrus, 

group 10 at 0.1 ppm; fruit, pome, group 

11 at 0.1 ppm; fruit, stone, group 12 at 

0.1 ppm; garlic at 0.1 ppm; leek at 0.20 

ppm; onion, bulb at 0.1 ppm; onion, 

green at 0.20 ppm; onion, welsh at 0.20 

ppm; shallot at 0.20 ppm; strawberry at 

0.10 ppm; sunflower seed at 0.10 ppm; 

and vegetable, fruiting, group 8 at 0.10 

ppm, upon establishment of the 

proposed tolerances listed in paragraph 

2. under ‘‘New Tolerance’’. (RD) 

New Tolerance Exemption 

1. PP 3E8181. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2013– 

0761). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR–4), 500 College Road East, 

Suite 201 W., Princeton, NJ 08540, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of the herbicide, Tobacco mild 

green mosaic tobamovirus U2 

(TMGMV), in or on all commodities of 

crop group 17 (grass forage, fodder, and 

hay group) and crop group 18 (nongrass 

animal feeds (forage, fodder, straw, and 

hay) group). The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because 

Tobacco mild green mosaic tobamovirus 

U2 is already present in the 

environment; therefore, any applied 

pesticide containing TMGMV would be 

indistinguishable from that which is 

naturally occurring. Additionally, since 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being requested, there is no 

need to analyze for pesticidal residues. 

(BPPD) 

2. 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 for 

residues of the fungicide, Trichoderma 

fertile strain JM41R, in or on all food 

commodities. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because, as 

proposed, the use of Trichoderma fertile 

strain JM41R would not result in 

residues that are of toxicological 

concern. (BPPD) 

3. PP IN–10630. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2013–0756). Clariant Corporation, 4000 

Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC 28205, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for the 

use of secondary alkane (C13-C17) 

sulfonates (C13-C17 SAS) as pesticide 

inert ingredients (as surfactants) for use 

in food crops in accordance with 40 

CFR 180.920 (pre-harvest) for seed 

treatment and foliar applications 

pursuant to section 408(d)(1) of the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA). There are currently no 

approved non-food uses or food use 

tolerance exemptions for C13-C17 SAS as 

a pesticide inert ingredient. The 

following CAS Registry Numbers (CAS 

No.) are supported by way of this 

petition: Sulfonic acids, C13-C17 secalkane (CAS No. 85711–69–9); and 

sulfonic acids, C14-C17 sec-alkane (CAS 

No. 97489–15–1). The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because it is not required for the 

establishment of a tolerance exemption 

for inert ingredients. (RD) 

4. PP IN–16031. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2013–0757). Clariant Corporation, 4000 

Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC 28205, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of C.I. Pigment Red 112 (CAS 

No. 6535–46–2), also known as 3- 

hydroxy-N-(2-methylphenyl)-4-[2-(2,4,5- 

trichlorophenyl)diazenyl]-naphthalene2-carboxamide), as a seed treatment 

pigment, not to exceed 10% wt/wt, 

under 40 CFR 180.920 pursuant to 

section 408(d)(1) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). There 

are currently no approved non-food uses 

or food use tolerance exemptions for C.I. 

Pigment Red 112 as a pesticide inert 

ingredient. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not required for the establishment of 

a tolerance exemption for inert 

ingredients. (RD) 

Amended Tolerance Exemption

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

December 27, 2013 Federal Register (78 

FR 79082 through 79200), we published 

the Emergency Preparedness 

Requirements for Medicare and 

Medicaid Participating Providers and 

Suppliers proposed rule that proposes 

to revise and, for some providers/

suppliers, establish, emergency 

preparedness requirements. These 

emergency preparedness requirements 

would apply to 17 provider and 

supplier types with various capabilities 

and capacities to comply with the 

proposed requirements. The proposed 

rule, if finalized, would require 

providers and suppliers to meet these 

four broad standards: 

• To develop an emergency plan 

based on a risk assessment that utilizes 

an all-hazards approach. 

• To develop and implement policies 

and procedures based on the plan and 

their risk assessment. 

• To develop and maintain a 

communication plan to locate patients 

and/or residents and address their 

health care needs during and after a 

disaster. The plan must comply with 

both Federal and State laws and it must 

be well-coordinated within the facility 

and across health care providers. 

• To provide personnel training and 

to test their emergency program 

annually. 

In the proposed rule, we proposed to 

establish national emergency 

preparedness requirements for Medicare 

and Medicaid participating providers 

and suppliers to ensure that they plan 

for both natural and man-made disasters 

and coordinate with federal, state, tribal, 

regional, and local emergency 

preparedness systems. These 

requirements would ensure that these 

providers and suppliers are adequately 

prepared to meet the needs of patients,
