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 a typical 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, proposing 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 has determined 

that the pesticide petitions described in 

this notice 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. 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 notice, 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 9E7591. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

713). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR-4), IR-4 Project, 500 

College Rd. East, Suite 201W, Princeton, 

NJ 08540, proposes to establish a 

tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for the 

combined residues of the fungicide 

mefenoxam, ( R )- and ( S )-2-[(2,6- 

dimethyl(phenyl)-methoxyacetylamine]- 

propionic acid methyl ester, and its 

metabolites containing the 2,6 

dimethylaniline moiety, and N -(2- 

hydroxy methyl-6-methylphenyl)- N 

-(methoxyacetyl)-alanine methyl ester in 

or on bean, snap, succulent at 0.35 parts 

per million (ppm); caneberry, subgroup 

13-07A at 0.80 ppm; bushberry, 

subgroup 13-07B at 2.0 ppm; onion, 

bulb, subgroup 3-07A at 3.0 ppm; onion, 

green, subgroup 3-07B at 10.0 ppm, and 

spinach at 8.0 ppm. Snap bean and 

caneberry samples were analyzed for 

mefenoxam (parent only) using a 

procedure derived from ‘‘Confirmatory 

Analytical Method for the 

Enantioselective Determination of 

Residues of Parent Metalaxyl (CGA48988) or Mefenoxam (CGA-329351) in 

Crop Substrates by Chiral High 

Performance Liquid Chromatography 

with Mass Spectrometric Detection’’ 

(Novartis Crop Protection, Inc., 

Procedure 456–98, March, 1999). Minor 

modifications were made to improve the 

performance of the method. The limit of 

quantitation (LOQ) for the method is 

0.028 ppm for snap beans and 0.059 for 

caneberries. Selected samples from the 

snap bean and caneberry trials were also 

analyzed with the combined residue 

method that converts everything to N- 

(2,6-dimethylpheny1)- 

N(methoxyacetyl)alanine methyl ester. 

This served as a bridging study for the 

other samples that were only analyzed 

for parent. 

The common moiety method was also 

used for the spinach trials. The 

analytical method used was Ciba-Geigy 

Corporation Procedure AG-395, 

‘‘Improved Method for the 

Determination of Total Residues of 

Metalaxyl in Crop as 2,6- 

dimethylaniline,’’ December 1982. This 

total residue method is used for the 

determination of the combined residues 

of metalaxyl N-(2,6-dimethylpheny1)-N- 

(methoxyacetyl)alanine methyl ester 

and its metabolites which contain the 

2,6-dimethylaniline (2, 6-DMA) moiety 

in crop samples. Contact: Laura Nollen,

2. PP 9E7594. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

0644). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Rd. East, 

Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540, 

proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 

CFR part 180 for residues of the 

insecticide fenpropathrin, alpha-cyano3-phenoxy-benzyl 2,2,3,3- 

tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylate in 

or on guava, acerola, feijoa, jaboticaba, 

passionfruit, starfruit and wax jambu at 

1.5 ppm; lychee, longan, Spanish lime, 

pulasan and rambutan at 3.0 ppm; sugar 

apple, atemoya, biriba, cherimoya, 

custard apple, ilama, and soursop at 1.0 

ppm; and tea at 2.0 ppm. Adequate 

analytical methodology is available to 

detect and quantify fenpropathrin at 

residue levels in numerous matrices. 

The methods use solvent extraction and 

partition and/or column 

chromatography clean-up steps, 

followed by separation and quantitation 

using capillary gas liquid 

chromatography (GLC) with flame 

ionization detector (FID). The extraction 

efficiency has been validated using 

radiocarbon samples from the plant and 

animal metabolism studies. The

method for the determination of the 

active ingredient in must and wine,’’ 

were developed to determine residues of 

metrafenone in grapes and wine, 

respectively. Quantitative determination 

of metrafenone is carried out by 

capillary gas chromatography with an 

electron capture detector (GC/ECD). An 

independent laboratory validation 

demonstrated good performance of these 

methods. Contact: Tony Kish, (703)

5. PP 9E7599. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

0662). Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry, 

LLC, 909 Mueller Ave., Chattanooga, TN 

37406, proposes to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues and requests the 

elimination of the need to establish a 

maximum permissible level for residues 

of acrylic acid-benzyl methacrylate-1- 

propanesulfonic acid, 2-methyl-2-[1(1- 

oxo-2-propenyl)amino]-, monosodium 

salt copolymer (CAS No. 1152297–42–1) 

when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient as a dispersant in pesticide 

formulations under 40 CFR 180.960 in 

or on all raw agricultural commodities. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because this 

information is generally not required 

when all criteria for polymer exemption 

under 40 CFR 723.250 are met. In 

addition, Akzo Nobel is petitioning for 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance without any numerical 

limitations. Contact: Alganesh Debesai,

Requirements for an analytical method 

are not applicable to a request to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. An 

analytical method is not provided as the 

Agency does not require it to rule on the 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for a Low Risk Polymer inert 

ingredient. Contact: Deirdre
