SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. Potentially 

affected entities may include, but are 

not limited to: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also 

be affected. The North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes have been provided to 

assist you and others in determining 

whether this action might apply to 

certain entities. If you have any 

questions regarding 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 174 or 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.

dipropylthiocarbamate, in or on fruit, 

citrus, group 10–10 at 0.1 ppm; 

sunflower subgroup 20B at 0.08 ppm; 

and watermelon at 0.08 ppm. Adequate 

methods are available for the 

determination of EPTC and three 

hydroxy metabolites in crops, including 

watermelon. EPTC is analyzed by 

extraction of the macerated samples 

with toluene with subsequent 

quantification using GC/NPD. The three 

hydroxy metabolites are extracted from 

macerated samples with a mixture of 

acetone and water. The acetone is 

dispelled and the aqueous fraction is 

digested with acid. The hydrolyzed 

metabolites are then extracted with a 

mixture of hexane and ether, and the 

extract is purified through a solid phase 

extraction cartridge. The residues are 

then derivatized and quantified using a 

GC equipped with a mass-selective 

detector (MSD). Contact: Sidney

hydroxy-8-methoxy-1- 

azaspiro[4.5]decan-2-one, calculated as 

spirotetramat equivalents, by removing 

the established tolerances: Onion, bulb, 

subgroup 3A–07 at 0.30 ppm; fruit, 

citrus, group 10 at 0.60 ppm; fruit, 

pome, group 11 at 0.70 ppm; okra at 2.5

New Tolerance Exemptions 

1. PP 1E7912. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2012–

Ave, Catonsville, MD on behalf of Triton 

Systems, Inc., 200 Turnpike Road, 

Chelmsford, MA 01824, requests to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of 1,2-Ethanediamine, N1-(2- 

aminoethyl)-, polymer with 2,4- 

diisocyanato-1-methylbenzene, with 

number average molecular weight 

greater than 10,000 daltons, (CAS No. 

35297–61–1) under 40 CFR 180.960 

when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient microencapsulation in 

pesticide formulations. The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because this information is generally not 

required when all criteria for polymer 

exemption under 40 CFR 723.250 are 

met. Contact: Anthony Britten, (703)

24–9) under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 

and 180.940 when used as a pesticide 

inert ingredient propellant in pesticide 

formulations. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because 

this is a petition for exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. Contact: Lisa

to establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of the antimicrobial gaseous chlorine

Ion Chromatography, was used for 

measuring chlorite and chlorate 

residues rinsed from surface of produce 

treated with chlorine dioxide gas.

NAFTA, P.O. Box 12257, 3054 E. 

Cornwallis Road, Research Triangle 

Park, NC 27709–2257, requests to 

amend an exemption from the

174.532 for residues of the plantincorporated protectant (PIP), Bacillus 

thuringiensis eCry3.1Ab protein in corn, 

in or on the food and feed commodities 

of corn; corn, field; corn, sweet; and 

corn, pop. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought. However, in 

response to an Agency request, the 

Petitioner has submitted an 

immunoassay method for determination 

of eCry3.1Ab protein in corn tissues.
