New Tolerance Exemptions 

1. PP 2F8102. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2012– 

0963). BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Dr., 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of the fungicide 

Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R 

in or on all food commodities. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because, as proposed, the use 

of Trichoderma asperelloides strain 

JM41R would not result in residues that 

are of toxicological concern. Note: In the 

Federal Register of February 21, 2014 

(79 FR 9870) (FRL–9904–98), EPA 

announced the filing of this petition to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of Trichoderma fertile strain JM41R in 

or on all food commodities. Since that 

time, the petitioner provided additional 

data on the identity of the active 

ingredient to EPA. After reviewing these 

data, EPA now considers the correct 

identity of the active ingredient to be 

Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R 

and not Trichoderma fertile strain 

JM41R. In order to give the public an 

opportunity to comment on this new 

information, EPA is republishing its 

receipt of this tolerance exemption 

petition filing with an updated and 

accurate description. Contact: BPPD. 

2. PP 4F8252. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0920). Certis USA LLC, 9145 Guilford 

Rd., Suite 175, Columbia, MD 21046, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of the fungicide 

Bacillus mycoides isolate J, in or on all 

agricultural commodities. The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance is being 

sought for any residues and enforcement 

of residue levels would not be needed. 

Contact: BPPD. 

3. PP 4F8271. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0919). Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc., 

2121 Second St., Suite B–107, Davis, CA 

95618, requests to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of the nematocide, fungicide, 

and insecticide, sterile grain inoculated 

with Muscodor albus strain SA–13, in or 

on all food commodities. The petitioner 

believes no analytical method is needed 

because the active ingredient will not be 

in direct contact with treated 

commodities, has limited survivability 

once the nutrient source is exhausted, 

and will not result in residues of 

toxicological concern. Contact: BPPD. 

4. PP 4F8276. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0454). Monsanto Company, 800 North 

Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63167, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 174 for residues of the plantincorporated protectant, Bacillus 

thuringiensis Cry2Ab2 protein, in or on 

soybean. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought. Contact:

5. PP 4F8289. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0834). Southern Garden Citrus, 1820 

Country Rd. 833, Clewiston, FL 33440, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 174 for residues of defensin 

proteins derived from spinach (Spinacia 

oleracea L.) and inserted into citrus 

plants in order to confer disease 

resistance. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought. Contact: 

BPPD. 

6. PP IN–10683. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2014–0176). Exponent, Inc., 1150 

Connecticut Ave. NW., Suite 1100, 

Washington, DC 20036 (on behalf of 

Huntsman Corporation, 8600 Gosling 

Rd., The Woodlands, TX 77381), 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of di-n-butyl 

carbonate (CAS No. 542–52–9) when 

used as a pesticide inert ingredient in 

pesticide formulations as a solvent 

without limits. The petitioner believes 

no analytical method is needed because 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought for this inert 

ingredient. Contact: RD. 

7. PP IN–10770. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2014–0874). BASF Corporation, 100 

Park Ave., Florham Park, NJ 07932, 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.960 for residues of 2-propenoic 

acid, polymer with ethenyl acetate, 

ethenylbenzene, 2-ethylhexyl 2- 

propenoate and ethyl 2-propenoate 

(CAS No. 85075–52–1) with a minimum 

number average molecular weight (in 

amu) of 50,000 Daltons, when used as 

a pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not relevant based upon the definition 

of a low risk polymer under 40 CFR 

723.250. Contact: RD.

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

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), 

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 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 

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.
