Publicly available docket materials are 

available either in the electronic docket 

at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Under section 408(d) of the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

21 U.S.C. 346a, EPA is authorized to 

establish tolerances for pesticide 

residues in or on food based on a 

petition from any person. Ordinarily, 

EPA resolves these petitions either by 

granting or denying them. (21 U.S.C. 

346a(d)(4)). EPA’s regulations, however, 

allow petitions to be withdrawn by the 

petitioner without prejudice to refiling 

the petition at a later date (40 CFR 

180.8). EPA has received notifications 

from various petitioners that several 

petitions, cited above, have been 

withdrawn, either partially or 

completely. By this action, EPA is 

providing the general public with notice 

that the petitions have been withdrawn 

by the petitioners. The petitioners may 

refile these petitions in the future 

without prejudice. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions 

covered by this notice, prepared by the 

petitioner, was included in a docket 

EPA created for each rulemaking. The 

docket for each of the petitions is
