tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 251 / Friday, December 30, 2011 / Proposed Rules 82239 

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 on-line 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. 

New Tolerances 

1. PP 0E7789. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2011– 

0138). Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. 

Alexander Dr., P.O. Box 12014, 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 

requests to establish an import tolerance 

in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the 

fungicide trifloxystrobin (benzeneacetic 

acid, (E,E)-a-(methoxyimino)-2-[[[[1-[3- 

(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] 

ethylidene]amino]oxy]methyl]-methyl 

ester) and the free form of its acid 

metabolite CGA–321113 ((E,E)- 

methoxyimino-[2-[1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-ethylideneaminooxymethyl]- 

phenyl]acetic acid), in or on imported 

coffee, bean, green at 0.02 parts per 

million (ppm). A practical analytical 

methodology for detecting and 

measuring levels of trifloxystrobin in or 

on raw agricultural commodities has 

been submitted to the Agency. The 

method is based on crop specific 

procedures and determination by gas 

chromatography with nitrogenphosphorus detection. A newer 

analytical method is available 

employing liquid chromatography/ 

tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) 

with an electrospray interface, operated 

in a positive ion mode. Contact: Rose 

Mary Kearns, (703) 305–5611, email 

address: kearns.rosemary@epa.gov. 

2. PP 1F7928. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2011– 

0962). Dow AgroSciences, LLC., 9330 

Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268, 

requests to establish tolerances in 40 

CFR part 180 for combined residues of 

fluroxypyr 1-methylheptyl ester [1- 

methylheptyl ((4-amino-3,5-dichloro-6- 

fluoro-2-pyridinyl)oxy)acetate] and its 

metabolite fluroxypyr [((4-amino-3,5- 

dichloro-6-fluoro-2-pyridinyl)oxy)acetic 

acid] in or on crop group 15 (cereal 

grains) including: Barley, buckwheat, 

millet, oats, rye, teosinte, triticale, and 

wheat at 0.5 ppm; corn, popcorn, and 

sorghum grain at 0.02 ppm; rice and 

wild rice at 1.5 ppm; rice, bran at 3.0 

ppm; crop group 16 including forage, 

fodder and straw of cereal grains at 12 

ppm; hay of cereal grains at 20 ppm; 

and stover of cereal grains at 4 ppm. 

Adequate enforcement method for the 

combined residues of total fluroxypyr is 

available to enforce the tolerance 

expression in or on food. The analytical 

method uses high performance liquid 

chromatography with tandem mass 

spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) with 

limits of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.01 

ppm. Contact: Bethany Benbow, (703) 

347–8072, email address: 

benbow.bethany@epa.gov. 

New Tolerance Exemption 

PP 1E7932. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2011– 

0975). Clariant Corp., 625 E. Catawba 

Ave., Mt. Holly, NC 28120, requests to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of 2–Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2- 

ethylhexyl ester, telomere with 1- 

dodecanethiol, ethenylbenzene and 2- 

methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 

monoether with 1,2-propanediol 

mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate), hydrogen 

2-sulfobutanedioate, sodium salt, 2,2′- 

(1,2-diazenediyl)bis[2- 

methylpropanenitrile]-initiated (CAS 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
82240 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 251 / Friday, December 30, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

No. 1283712–50–4) under 40 CFR 

180.960 when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient in pesticide formulations as a 

dispersing agent. The petitioner believes 

no analytical method is needed because 

2–Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2- 

ethylhexyl ester, telomere with 1- 

dodecanethiol, ethenylbenzene and 2- 

methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 

monoether with 1,2-propanediol 

mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate), hydrogen 

2-sulfobutanedioate, sodium salt, 2,2′- 

(1,2-diazenediyl)bis[2- 

methylpropanenitrile]-initiated is 

exempt from the requirement of a 

tolerance based upon the definition of a 

low-risk polymer under 40 CFR 723.250. 

Therefore, an analytical method to 

determine residues on treated crops is 

not relevant. Contact: Alganesh Debesai,

COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 14 

[CG Docket No. 10–213; WT Docket No. 96– 

198; CG Docket No. 10–145; FCC 11–151] 

Implementing the Provisions of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

Enacted by the Twenty-First Century 

Communications and Video 

Accessibility Act of 2010 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission seeks comment on the 

implementation of certain provisions in 

sections 716, 717, and 718 of the 

Twenty-First Century Communications 

and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 

(CVAA), the most significant piece of 

accessibility legislation since the 

passage of the Americans with 

Disabilities Act in 1990. Specifically, 

this document seeks comment on 

whether to adopt a permanent 

exemption for small entities that 

provide advanced communications 

services (ACS). The document also 

seeks comment on implementing 

section 718 of the Act which requires 

Internet browsers built into mobile 

phones to be accessible to and usable by 

persons who are blind or have a visual 

impairment, unless doing so is 

unachievable. This inquiry includes the 

recordkeeping and enforcement 

requirements related to section 718. 

People with disabilities have often faced 

technical challenges associated with the 

use of Internet browsers, video 

conferencing services, and the 

accessibility of information content. The 

CVAA attempts to bring existing 

communications laws protecting people 

with disabilities in line with 21st 

Century technologies while providing 

flexibility to the industry by allowing 

for new and innovative ways to meet the 

needs of people with disabilities. These 

actions will promote rapid deployment 

of and universal access to broadband 

services for all Americans across the 

country, which will in turn stimulate 

economic growth and provide 

opportunity.
