located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law.

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 preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

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 

parts 174 and 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 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.

metabolites and degradates, in or on 

corn, sweet, forage at 5 parts per million 

(ppm); corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with 

husks removed at 0.01 ppm; and corn, 

sweet, stover at 15 ppm. The Zeneca 

Agrochemicals Method RAM 219/04, 

entitled ‘‘The Determination of Residues 

of Flutriafol (R122450) in Crops,’’ dated 

July 5, 2000, and various subsequent 

modifications is used to measure and 

evaluate the chemical flutriafol. RD

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of the microbial 

pesticide, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 

strain FZB42, in or on all food 

commodities. The pesticide is intended 

to control soil borne diseases. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because Bacillus 

amyloliquefaciens strain FZB42 is 

virtually non-toxic and is not 

pathogenic. Andermatt Biocontrol AG 

is, therefore, submitting a petition to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance and an 

analytical method is not required. BPPD

used as a pesticide inert ingredient in 

pesticide formulations for pre-harvest 

use (seed treatments) not to exceed 10% 

weight (wt)/wt. The petitioner believes 

no analytical method is needed because 

it is not required for the establishment 

of a tolerance exemption for inert 

ingredients. RD
