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, 

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 petition described in 

this notice 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. 

Additional data may be needed before 

EPA can make a final determination on 

this pesticide petition. 

In accordance with 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of the petition that is the 

subject of this notice, 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 (PP 

0G7756), for an extension of the 

temporary exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of Bacillus thuringiensis eCry3.1Ab 

protein under 40 CFR 174.532, may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit. 

PP 0G7756. Syngenta Seeds, Inc., P.O. 

Box 12257, Research Triangle Park, 

North Carolina 27709, proposes to 

extend an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of the plant-incorporated protectant 

Bacillus thuringiensis eCry3.1Ab 

protein in corn, in or on the food and 

feed commodities of corn; corn, field; 

corn, sweet; and corn, pop in 40 CFR 

174.532; when Bacillus thuringiensis 

eCry3.1Ab protein in corn is used as a 

plant-incorporated protectant in 

accordance with the terms of 

Experimental Use Permit 67979–EUP–8. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because a temporary 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance is being sought.
