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. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document

31582 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

If you have any questions regarding 

the applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

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, EPA 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 EPA 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. EPA 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), 21 U.S.C. 346a(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 petitions so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on these requests for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petitions may be 

obtained through the petition 

summaries referenced in this unit.

mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is used 

to measure and evaluate residues of the 

chemical spirotetramat. 

2. PP 5E8422. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2015– 

0829). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR–4), Rutgers University, 

500 College Rd. East, Suite 201 W, 

Princeton, NJ 08540, requests to 

establish tolerances in 40 CFR 180.599 

for residues of the insecticide 

acequinocyl in or on avocado at 0.4 

ppm; bean, dry, seed at 0.03 ppm;

ppm. The analytical method to 

quantitate residues of acequinocyl and 

acequinocyl-OH in/on fruit crops 

utilizes high pressure liquid 

chromatography (HPLC) using mass 

spectrometric (MS/MS) detection. The 

target limit of quantitation (LOQ) is 0.01

final sample solution is quantitated 

using a liquid chromatograph equipped 

with a reverse phase column and a 

triple quadruple mass spectrometer.

increase the established tolerance in 40 

CFR 180.613 for residues of the 

insecticide flonicamid, N-

trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycine, 

calculated as the stoichiometric 

equivalent of flonicamid, in or on

New Tolerance Exemptions 

1. PP IN–10891. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2016–0123). BASF Corp., 26 Davis Dr., 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of Bacillus simplex strain 

BU288 when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient (emulsifier) applied to 

growing crops and raw agricultural 

commodities after harvest under 40 CFR 

180.910. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not required for an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. 

2. PP IN–10907. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2016–0201). Keller and Heckman, LLP, 

1001 G St. NW., Suite 500 West, 

Washington, DC 20001 (on behalf of 

Trinseo LLC, 1000 Chesterbrook Blvd.,

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of butanedioic acid, 2-methylene-, 

polymer with 1,3-butadiene,

propenoate (CAS Reg. No. 36089–06–2) 

when used as an inert ingredient 

(emulsifier or binder) in pesticide 

formulations under 40 CFR 180.960. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because it is not 

required for an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance.
