(H), and (I); and (f) of the Privacy Act 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(1) and

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

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

CONTACT for the division 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 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 


Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
54258 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 174 / Wednesday, September 9, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

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 174 or 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.

ppm; turnip greens (tops) at 0.08 ppm; 

and hop, dried cones at 0.05 ppm. A gas 

chromatography-mass spectrometry 

(GC/MS) analytical method for 

enforcement has been developed for 

analyzing residues of metaldehyde in 

food crops, including all of the crops 

identified above. The limit of 

quantitation (LOQ) for the method is 

0.05 ppm. Contact: RD. 

2. PP 5F8368. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2015–

group 6 at 0.01 ppm; foliage of legume 

vegetables, crop group 7, except pea, 

field, hay and vines at 0.01 ppm; pea, 

field, hay at 0.15 ppm; and pea, field, 

vines at 0.03 ppm. There are acceptable 

analytical methods for tolerance 

enforcement that include four

the determination of thiabendazole per 

se in or on plant commodities and one 

spectrophotofluorometric method 

(Method D) for determining residues of

amend the tolerance in 40 CFR 180.599 

for residues of the insecticide 

acequinocyl in or on hop, dried cones 

from 4.0 ppm to 15.0 ppm. The

of acequinocyl and acequinocyl-OH in/ 

on fruit crops utilizes high pressure 

liquid chromatography (HPLC) using 

mass spectrometric (MS/MS) detection.

for the determination of thiabendazole 

per se in or on plant commodities and 

one spectrophotofluorometric method 

(Method D) for determining residues of 

thiabendazole and 5- 

hydroxythiabendazole in milk. Contact: 

RD.

petitioner is requesting an exemption 

from tolerance. Contact: BPPD.

(solvent, cosolvent) in pesticide 

formulations applied to growing crops 

or to raw agricultural commodities after 

harvest under 40 CFR 180.910 and 

applied to animals under 40 CFR 

180.930. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not required for an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. Contact: 

RD. 

Amended Tolerance Exemption

of the plant-incorporated protectant 

(PIP) Potato Late Blight Resistance Gene

potato. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because the 

petitioner is seeking a temporary 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. Contact: BPPD.
