This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also 

be affected. The North American 

Industrial Classification System

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 e-mail. 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 receipt of a 

pesticide petition 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. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the request before 

responding to the petitioner. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petition described in this 

document contains 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 supports 

granting of the pesticide petition. 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 this 

pesticide petition. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of the petition that is the 

subject of this document, prepared by 

the petitioner, is included in a docket 

EPA has created for this rulemaking. 

The docket for this petition 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 Tolerance 

PP 7F7260. BASF Corporation, P.O. 

Box 13528, Research Triangle Park, NC 

27709, requests to establish a tolerance 

in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the 

insecticide metaflumizone, in or on the 

raw agricultural commodities grape at 

0.04 parts per million (ppm); crop group 

10, citrus fruits group at 0.04 ppm; crop 

group 14, tree nuts group at 0.04 ppm; 

and almond hulls at 0.04 ppm. The 

BASF Analytical Method No. 531/0 was 

developed to determine residues of 

metaflumizone and its metabolites 

M320I04, and M320I23, the residues of 

concern in plants, and in crop matrices. 

In this method, residues of 

metaflumizone are extracted from plant 

matrices with methanol/water (70:30; v/ 

v) and then partitioned into 

dichloromethane. For oily matrices, the 

residues are extracted with a mixture of 

isohexane/acetonitrile (1:1; v/v). The 

final determination of metaflumizone 

and its metabolites is performed by 

liquid chromatography with tandem 

mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS).

the State of Utah, through the Utah 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(UDEQ), have determined that all 

appropriate response actions under 

CERCLA, other than operation, 

maintenance, and five-year reviews,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ Section of 

today’s Federal Register, we are

view this as a noncontroversial revision 

and anticipate no adverse comment. We 

have explained our reasons for this 

deletion in the preamble to the direct 

final Notice of Deletion, and those 

reasons are incorporated herein. If we 

receive no adverse comment(s) on this 

deletion action, we will not take further 

action on this Notice of Intent to Delete. 

If we receive adverse comment(s), we 

will withdraw the direct final Notice of 

Deletion, and it will not take effect. We 

will, as appropriate, address all public 

comments in a subsequent final Notice 

of Deletion based on this Notice of 

Intent to Delete. We will not institute a 

second comment period on this Notice 

of Intent to Delete. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time.

Non-Discrimination in Compensation; 

Compensation Data Collection Tool 

AGENCY: Office of Federal Contract 

Compliance Programs. 

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed 

rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Federal Contract 

Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is 

issuing this Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking in order to invite the public 

to provide input on the development 

and implementation of a compensation 

data collection tool. Possible uses for 

the collected data include generating 

insight into potential problems of 

compensation discrimination at the 

establishment level that warrant further 

review or evaluation by OFCCP or 

contractor self-audit. OFCCP could use 

the data collected by the tool to conduct 

analyses at the establishment level, as 

well as to identify and analyze industry 

trends, Federal contractors’ 

compensation practices and potential 

equal employment-related issues. 

OFCCP is issuing this Advanced 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to 

solicit comments from interested parties 

as early as possible in the development 

process of this new data collection tool. 

There will, of course, be an additional 

opportunity to comment following the
