II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is printing a summary of a 

pesticide petition received under 

section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 

346a, proposing the establishment or 

amendment of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. EPA has determined that 

this pesticide petition contains data or 

information regarding the elements set 

forth 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 petition. 

Additional data may be needed before 

EPA rules on this pesticide petition. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of the petition included in this 

notice, prepared by the petitioner along 

with a description of the analytical 

method available for the detection and 

measurement of the pesticide chemical 

residues is available on EPA’s Electronic 

Docket at http://www.regulations.gov/. 

To locate this information on the home 

page of EPA’s Electronic Docket, select

Amendment to Existing Tolerance 

PP 5F6906. BASF Corporation, 26 

Davis Drive, P.O. Box 13528, Research 

Triangle Park, NC 17709, proposes to 

amend the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.582 

for residues of the fungicide 

pyraclostrobin carbamic acid, [2–[[[1–

(4–chlorophenyl)–1H-pyrazol–3–

yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl 

ester and its metabolite methyl-N-[[[1–

(4–chlorophenyl) pyrazol–3–yl]oxy]otolyl] carbamate (BF 500–3); expressed 

as parent compound in or on the food 

commodity almond, hulls at 7.0 parts 

per million (ppm). In plants, the method 

of analysis is aqueous organic solvent 

extraction, column clean up and 

quantitation by liquid chromatography/ 

mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry 

(LC/MS/MS). In animals, the method of 

analysis involves base hydrolysis, 

organic extraction, column clean up and 

quantitation by LC/MS/MS or 

derivatization (methylation) followed by 

quantitation by gas chromatography/ 

mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
