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

26478 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 87 / Friday, May 4, 2012 / Proposed Rules

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 174 or 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 

online 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. 

EPA is providing a shortened 

comment period of 10 days on this 

notice of filing. EPA is expediting this 

petition because the time limited 

tolerances for 2,6-DIPN and its 

metabolites and degradates is set expire 

on May 18, 2012. 

PP 9F7626. Loveland Products, Inc., 

7251 W. 4th St., Greeley, CO 80634, 

requests that 40 CFR 180.590 be 

amended by extending the effective 

dates of existing time-limited tolerances 

for residues of the biochemical 

pesticide, 2,6-diisopropylnaphthalene 

(2,6-DIPN) and its metabolites and 

degradates resulting from post harvest 

applications, in or on the following food 

and edible livestock commodities for 

three years: Potato, whole at 2.0 parts 

per million (ppm); potato peel at 6.0 

ppm; potato, granules/flakes at 5.5 ppm; 

cattle, goat, hog, horse, sheep, fat at 1.0 

ppm; cattle, goat, hog, horse, sheep, 

liver at 0.5 ppm; cattle, goat, hog, horse, 

sheep, meat at 0.2 ppm; cattle, goat, hog, 

horse, sheep, meat byproducts at 0.4 

ppm; and milk, fat at 0.5 ppm. The 

High-performance Liquid 

Chromatograph (HPLC) is used to 

measure and evaluate the chemical 2,6- 

diisopropylnaphthalene (2,6-DIPN).
