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.

0876). Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. 

Alexander Drive, P.O. Box 12014, 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 

requests to establish tolerances in 40 

CFR part 180 for residues of the 

fungicide prothioconazole, 2-[2-(1- 

chlorocyclopropyl)-3-(2-chlorophenyl-2- 

hydroxypropyl]-1,2-dihydro-3H-1,2,4- 

triazole-3-thione and its desthio 

metabolite, in or on bushberry crop 

subgroup 13–07B at 2.0 ppm; low 

growing berry crop subgroup 13–07H 

(except strawberry) at 0.15 ppm; and 

cucurbit vegetables crop group 9 at 0.3 

ppm. The analytical method for 

determining residues of concern in 

plants extracts residues of 

prothioconazole and JAU6476-desthio 

and converts the prothioconazole to 

JAU6476-desthio and JAU6476-sulfonic 

acid. Following the addition of internal 

standards, the sample extracts are 

analyzed by LC/MS/MS. The analytical 

method for analysis of large animal 

tissues includes extraction of the 

residues of concern, followed by 

addition of an internal standard to the 

extract. The extract is then hydrolyzed 

to release conjugates, partitioned and 

analyzed by LC/MS/MS as 

prothioconazole, JAU6476-desthio and 

JAU6476–4-hydroxy. The method for 

analysis of milk eliminated the initial 

extraction step in the tissue method.

methyl). Tolerances are already 

established for use of cloquintocetmexyl in conjunction with other 

herbicides. This petition will not change 

the established tolerance levels. 

Adequate enforcement methodology is 

available to enforce the tolerance 

expression in the Federal Register of 

June 29, 2011 (76 FR 38035) (FRL– 

8877–2). There are two enforcement 

methods available. The HPLC with 

Ultraviolet Detection (HPLC/UV) 

method REM 138.01 is for the 

determination of cloquintocet-mexyl 

(parent) and the HPLC/UV Method REM 

138.10 allows determination of its acid 

metabolite (also known as CGA– 

153433). Contact: Mindy Ondish, (703)

0789). Sekisui Specialty Chemicals, 

1501 West, LBJ Freeway, Dallas, TX 

75234, requests to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of 2-pyrrolidone, 

1-ethenyl-, polymer with ethenol (CAS 

No. 26008–54–8) under § 180.960 when 

used as a pesticide inert ingredient in 

pesticide formulations for a packaging 

film for unit dose packaging of 

pesticides and pool sanitizers. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because it is not required for 

the establishment of a tolerance 

exemption for inert ingredients. Contact:

Proposed Significant New Use Rule on 

Ethoxylated, Propoxylated Diamine 

Diaryl Substituted Phenylmethane 

Ester With Alkenylsuccinate, 

Dialkylethanolamine Salt 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a significant 

new use rule (SNUR) under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA) for the 

chemical substance identified 

generically as ethoxylated, propoxylated 

diamine diaryl substituted 

phenylmethane ester with 

alkenylsuccinate, dialkylethanolamine 

salt, which was the subject of 

premanufacture notice (PMN) P–01– 

384. This action would require persons 

who intend to manufacture, import, or 

process this chemical substance for an 

activity that is designated as a 

significant new use by this proposed 

rule to notify EPA at least 90 days before 

commencing that activity. The required 

notification would provide EPA with 

the opportunity to evaluate the intended 

use and, if necessary, to prohibit or limit 

the activity before it occurs.
