NAAQS and of the associated 

maintenance plan, including the 2017 

and 2025 MVEBs. EPA is proposing to 

withdraw the SIP-approved 2009 

MVEBs prepared using MOBILE6.2. 

EPA is also proposing to approve the 

base-year emissions inventory for the 

Southwestern CT Area included in 

Connecticut’s June 22, 2012 submittal as 

meeting the comprehensive emissions 

inventory requirements of section 

172(c)(3) of the CAA. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, redesignation of an 

area to attainment and the 

accompanying approval of a 

maintenance plan under section 

107(d)(3)(E) are actions that affect the 

status of a geographical area and do not 

impose any additional regulatory 

requirements on sources beyond those 

imposed by state law. A redesignation to 

attainment does not in and of itself 

create any new requirements, but rather 

results in the applicability of 

requirements contained in the CAA for 

areas that have been redesignated to 

attainment. Moreover, the Administrator 

is required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, these proposed 

actions do not impose additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law and the CAA. For that reason, 

these proposed actions: 

• are not ‘‘significant regulatory 

actions’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• do not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• are certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• do not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• do not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• are not economically significant 

regulatory actions based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• are not significant regulatory 

actions subject to Executive Order 

13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); 

• are not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• do not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposed rule does 

not have tribal implications as specified 

by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because a 

determination of attainment is an action 

that affects the status of a geographical 

area and does not impose any new 

regulatory requirements on tribes, 

impact any existing sources of air 

pollution on tribal lands, nor impair the 

maintenance of ozone national ambient 

air quality standards in tribal lands.

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 

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.

coriander, seed at 0.01; dill, oil at 4.8 

ppm; dill, seed at 0.3 ppm; dillweed, 

dried leaves at 7.1 ppm; dillweed, fresh 

leaves at 1.5 ppm; horseradish at 0.05 

ppm; parsley, dry leaves at 8.3 ppm; 

parsley, leaves at 3.0 ppm; and pea, dry, 

seed at 0.08 ppm. Adequate 

enforcement methods are available for 

the determination of linuron in plant 

and animal commodities. A gas 

chromatography/mass spectroscopy 

(GC/MS) detection method involves 

hydrolysis of linuron and all 

metabolites by alkaline reflux to 3,4- 

dichloroaniline, followed by distillation 

of the 3,4-dichloroaniline into an acid 

solution. A second method involves 

extraction of linuron and metabolites 

using methanol and clean-up of the 

extract by using an ENVI-Carb solid 

phase extraction (SPE) column, elution 

of linuron and its metabolites using 

methanol followed by methanoltoluene, and concentration of the eluate. 

The eluate is dissolved in methanol, 

filtered, and analyzed for linuron and its 

metabolites using reversed phase high 

pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) 

with MS/MS detection. Contact: Laura

initiated, minimum number average 

molecular weight (in AMU) 5,816 (CAS 

No. 1062609–13–5), under 40 CFR 

180.960, when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient (functioning as a dispersant) 

in pesticide formulations. The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because this information is not required 

for the establishment of a tolerance 

exemption. Contact: David Lieu, (RD),

8. PP IN–10565. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2013–0467). Huntsman Corp., 8600 

Gosling Rd., The Woodlands, TX 77381, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of cumenesulfonic acid and its 

ammonium, calcium, magnesium, 

potassium, sodium, and zinc salts with 

no limits when used as pesticide inert 

ingredients (surfactants, related 

adjuvants of surfactants) in pesticide 

formulations under 40 CFR 180.920 and 

180.930, in or on all the raw agricultural 

commodities, including the following 

with Chemical Abstracts Service 

Registry Numbers (CASRNs): 

Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-(1- 

methylethyl)-, sodium salt (15763–76– 

5); benzenesulfonic acid, 4-(1- 

methylethyl)- (16066–35–6); 

benzenesulfonic acid, 

4-(1-methylethyl)-, potassium salt 

(164524–02–1); benzenesulfonic acid, 

(1-methylethyl)-, potassium salt (28085– 

69–0); benzenesulfonic acid, (1- 

methylethyl)-, sodium salt (1:1) (28348– 

53–0); benzenesulfonic acid, 2(or 4)-(1- 

methylethyl)- (28631–63–2); benzene, 

(1-methylethyl)-, monosulfo deriv., 

sodium salt (1:1) (32073–22–6); 

benzenesulfonic acid, (1-methylethyl)-, 

ammonium salt (1:1) (37475–88–0); 

benzenesulfonic acid, (1-methylethyl)- 

(37953–05–2); benzenesulfonic acid, (1- 

methylethyl)-, magnesium salt (90959– 

88–9). Prior to the submission of this 

petition to add cumenesulfonate 

CASRNs, the EPA reapproved 

toluenesulfonate and xylenesulfonate 

hydrotropes in the EPA Decision 

Documents dated 9/14/2006 and 6/30/ 

2006. The combined documents are 

available at http://www.epa.gov/

opprd001/inerts/xylenesulfonic.pdf. 

Huntsman Corp. is relying on the 

information in that combined EPA 

Decision Document to support this 

petition which includes a chemistry that 

was also in the Screening Information 

Data Set (SIDS) Initial Assessment 

Report for hdrotropes. The SIDS 

hydrotropes category included 

cumenesulfonates, toluenesulfonates, 

and xylenesulfonates. In fact, 

cumenesulfonate data was used to 

support the reassessment of the 

toluenesulfonates and xylenesulfonates 

in the EPA Decision Document. 

Huntsman Corp. does not expect the 

addition of these cumenesulfonate 

CASRNs to result in additional exposure 

or risk, and no new data is being 

submitted with this petition. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because this information is 

not required for the establishment of a 

tolerance exemption. Contact: William 

D. Cutchin, (RD), (703) 305–7990, email

Amended Tolerance Exemption 

1. PP IN–10544. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2013–0210). Akzo Nobel Surface 

Chemistry, LLC, 525 West Van Buren, 

Chicago, IL 60607–3823, requests to 

amend an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 

180.920, 180.930, or 180.960, for 

residues of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]- 

hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or 

poly(oxyethylene) polymers where the 

alkyl chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons, and alkyl-w-hydroxypoly 

(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons, minimum number average 

molecular weight (in AMU) 1,100 in or 

on the raw agricultural commodity 

growing crops at no limitation. An 

analytical method is not required for 

enforcement purposes since the Agency 

is establishing an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance without any 

numerical limitation. Contact: William 

D. Cutchin, (RD), (703) 305–7990, email 

address: cutchin.william@epa.gov.

Chemistry, LLC, 909 Mueller Dr., 

Chattanooga, TN 37406, requests to 

revise an existing exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for modified 

acrylic polymers in 40 CFR 180.960. 

Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry, LLC, is 

requesting that the exemption be revised 

to include lauryl methacrylate by 

inserting lauryl methacrylate after 

hydroxyethyl acrylate and before the 

following text ‘‘and its sodium, 

potassium, ammonium, 

monoethanolamine and triethanolamine 

salts; the resulting polymer having a 

minimum number average molecular 

weight (in amu), 1200.’’ This entry 

begins with the following: Styrene, 

copolymers with acrylic acid. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because this information is 

not required for the establishment of a 

tolerance exemption. Contact: Mark
