deadline identified. 

II. Background on the Receipt of 

Requests to Cancel and/or Amend 

Registrations to Delete Uses 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from United Industries 

Corp. to cancel 8860–67 Liquid LimeSulphur 32 Degrees Baume product 

registration. In a letter dated January 24, 

2007, United Industries Corp. requested 

EPA to cancel affected product 

registrations identified in this notice 

(Table 1). Specifically, United Industries 

Corp. requests voluntary cancellation of 

the product Liquid Lime-Sulphur 32 

Degrees Baume due to lack of use. This 

product has never been manufactured or 

marketed by United Industries Corp. 

Action on the registrant’s request will 

terminate the last calcium thiosulfate 

products registered in the United States. 

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

This notice announces receipt by EPA 

of a request from a registrant to cancel 

calcium thiosulfate product 

registrations. The affected products and 

the registrants making the requests are 

identified in Tables 1 and 2 of this unit. 

Under section 6(f)(1)(A) of FIFRA, 

registrants may request, at any time, that 

their pesticide registrations be canceled 

or amended to terminate one or more 

pesticide uses. Section 6(f)(1)(B) of 

FIFRA requires that before acting on a 

request for voluntary cancellation, EPA 

must provide a 30–day public comment 

period on the request for voluntary 

cancellation or use termination. In 

addition, section 6(f)(1)(C) of FIFRA 

requires that EPA provide a 180–day 

comment period on a request for 

voluntary cancellation or termination of 

any minor agricultural use before 

granting the request, unless: 

1. The registrants request a waiver of 

the comment period, or 

2. The Administrator determines that 

continued use of the pesticide would 

pose an unreasonable adverse effect on 

the environment. 

The calcium thiosulfate registrant has 

requested that EPA waive the 180–day 

comment period. EPA will provide a 

30–day comment period on the 

proposed request. 

Unless a request is withdrawn by the 

registrant within 30 days of publication 

of this notice, or if the Agency 

determines that there are substantive 

comments that warrant further review of 

this request, an order will be issued 

canceling the affected registration.

IV. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that 

a registrant of a pesticide product may 

at any time request that any of its 

pesticide registrations be canceled or 

amended to terminate one or more uses. 

FIFRA further provides that, before 

acting on the request, EPA must publish 

a notice of receipt of any such request 

in the Federal Register. Thereafter, 

following the public comment period, 

the Administrator may approve such a 

request. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request and Considerations for 

Reregistration of Calcium Thiosulfate 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation must submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked 

before 30 days after date of publication 

in the Federal Register. This written 

withdrawal of the request for 

cancellation will apply only to the 

applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request 

listed in this notice. If the products(s) 

have been subject to a previous 

cancellation action, the effective date of 

cancellation and all other provisions of 

any earlier cancellation action are 

controlling. 

VI. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products which are 

currently in the United States and 

which were packaged, labeled, and 

released for shipment prior to the 

effective date of the cancellation action. 

This Notice proposes the following 

existing stocks provision: The 

prohibition on sales, distribution, and 

use of existing stocks by the registrant 

will be effective on the date of the 

cancellation order. 

Persons other than the registrant will 

be able to continue to sell and/or use 

existing stocks of cancelled products 

until such stocks are exhausted, 

provided that such use is consistent 

with the terms of the previously 

approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the cancelled product. 

The order will specifically prohibit any 

use of existing stocks that is not 

consistent with such previously 

approved labeling. If, as the Agency 

currently intends, the final cancellation 

order contains the existing stocks 

provision just described, the order will 

be sent only to the affected registrants 

of the cancelled products. If the Agency 

determines that the final cancellation 

order should contain existing stocks 

provisions different than the ones just 

described, the Agency will publish the 

cancellation order in the Federal 

Register.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is printing notice of the filing of 

pesticide petitions received 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 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. EPA has determined that 

the pesticide petitions described in this 

notice contain 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 petitions. Additional data may 

be needed before EPA rules on these 

pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions 

included in this notice, prepared by the 

petitioner, is included in a docket EPA 

has created for each rulemaking. The 

docket for each of the petitions is 

available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

Amendment to Existing Tolerances 

1. PPs 3E6562 and 6E7138. (Docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0107). 

Interregional Research Project Number 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 

W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to 

amend 40 CFR 180.443 by establishing 

tolerances for residues of the fungicide 

myclobutanil in or on the food 

commodities in PP 3E6562: Black 

sapote, canistel, mamey sapote, mango, 

papaya, sapodilla, and star apple at 3.0 

parts per million (ppm); and in PP 

6E7138: Fruiting vegetables, crop group 

8, except tomato at 4.5 ppm; leafy 

vegetables, crop subgroup 4A, except 

spinach at 11.0 ppm; globe artichoke at 

0.9 ppm; cilantro at 11.0 ppm; and okra 

at 4.5 ppm. The residue analytical 

method used was Rohm and Haas 

Company method 34S–88–10, ‘‘RH–

3866 total residue analytical method for 

apple, and grape’’ for artichokes, lettuce, 

pepper, and tropical fruits; and Rohm 

and Haas method TR34S–88–21, 

‘‘Analytical method for the measure of 

RH–3866 in various crops, soil, meat, 

milk and eggs’’. The lowest level of 

method validation (LLMV) in this study 

was 0.01 ppm for each analyte. Based on 

recoveries of samples fortified at the 

LLMV, the limit of detection (LOD) and 

the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were 

estimated as 0.0036 ppm and 0.011 

ppm; respectively, for myclobutanil as 

0.018 ppm and 0.054 ppm; respectively, 

for RH–9090. Contact: Barbara Madden,

2. PP 6E7129. (Docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0106). 

Interregional Research Project Number 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 

W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to 

amend 40 CFR 180.361 by establishing 

tolerances for residues of the herbicide 

pendimethalin, [N-(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4- 

dimethyl-2,6-dinitrobenzenamine] and 

its metabolite 4-[(1-ethylpropyl)amino]- 

2-methyl-3,5-dinitrobenzyl alcohol in or 

on the food commodities Brassica, head 

and stem, subgroup 5A at 0.05 ppm; 

grape at 0.05 ppm; artichoke, globe at 

0.05 ppm; and asparagus at 0.1 ppm. 

The analytical method in plants is 

aqueous organic solvent extraction, 

column clean-up, and quantitation by 

gas chromatography (GC). The method 

has a LOQ of 0.05 ppm for 

pendimethalin and the alcohol 

metabolite. Contact: Barbara Madden, 

telephone number: (703) 305–6463; email address: madden.barbara@epa.gov. 

3. PP 6E7152. (Docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0116). 

Interregional Research Project Number 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 

W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to 

amend 40 CFR 180.361 by establishing 

tolerances for residues of the herbicide 

dimethenamid, (R,S)-2-chloro-N-[(1- 

methyl-2-methoxy) ethyl]-N-(2,4- 

dimethyl-thien-3-yl)-acetamide in or on 

the food commodities squash, winter at 

0.01 ppm; pumpkin at 0.01 ppm; radish, 

roots at 0.01 ppm; radish, tops at 0.01 

ppm; turnip, roots at 0.01 ppm; turnip, 

tops at 0.01 ppm; rutabaga, roots at 0.01 

ppm; rutabaga, tops at 0.01 ppm; and 

hops, dried cones 0.05 ppm. The 

proposed analytical method uses 

extraction and clean-up followed by 

quantification with capillary column GC 

using thermionic nitrogen specific 

detector. A gas spectrometry/mass 

spectrometry (GS/MS) method for 

identification is also available. This 

method is not selective towards the 

dimethenamid isomer and is therefore 

valid for residues from both racemic 

dimethenamid and the enriched isomer 

dimethenamid-P. Tolerances are 

proposed based on a non-isomer 

specific basis. Contact: Shaja Brothers, 

telephone number: (703) 308–3194; email address: brothers.shaja@epa.gov. 

4. PP 6E7163. (Docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0105). 

Interregional Research Project Number 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 

W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to 

amend 40 CFR 180.578 by establishing 

tolerances for residues of the insecticide 

acetamiprid, N1-[(6-chloro-3- 

pyridyl)methyl]-N2-cyano-N1- 

methylacetamidine in or on the food 

commodities strawberry, bearberry, 

bilberry, lowbush blueberry, cloudberry, 

cranberry, ligonberry, muntries, and 

partridgeberry at 0.60 ppm. Based upon 

the metabolism of acetamiprid in plants 

and the toxicology of the parent, and 

metabolites quantification of the parent 

acetamiprid is sufficient to determine 

toxic residues. As a result, a method has 

been developed which involves 

extraction of acetamiprid from crops 

with methanol and analysis by liquid 

chromatography/tandem mass 

spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) methods. The 

LOQ and the LOD for the method are 

calculated to be 0.002 ppm and 0.0008 

ppm for strawberries, respectively. The 

LLMV for strawberries was 0.01 ppm for 

acetamiprid. Contact: Barbara Madden, 

telephone number: (703) 305–6463; email address: madden.barbara@epa.gov.

Interregional Research Project Number 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 

W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to 

amend 40 CFR 180.582 by establishing 

tolerances 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 (methylN-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-

black at 0.7 ppm; sapote, mamey at 0.7 

ppm; canistel at 0.7 ppm; sapodilla at 

0.7 ppm; and star apple at 0.7 ppm. In 

plants the method of analysis is aqueous 

organic solvent extraction, column 

clean-up and quantitation by LC/MS/ 

MS. In animals the method of analysis

Interregional Research Project Number 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 

W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to 

establish a tolerance for residues of the 

fungicide boscalid, (BAS 510F), 3- 

pyridinecarboxamide, 2-chloro-N-(4’- 

chloro(1,1’-biphenyl)-2-yl) in or on food 

commodities avocado at 1.5 ppm; 

sapote, black at 1.5 ppm; canistel at 1.5 

ppm; sopote, mamey at 1.5 ppm; mango 

at 1.5 ppm; papaya at 1.5 ppm; sapodilla 

at 1.5 ppm; star apple at 1.5 ppm; and 

herbs, fresh, subgroup 19A at 60.0 ppm. 

In plants the parent residue is extracted 

using an aqueous organic solvent 

mixture followed by liquid/liquid 

partitioning and a column clean-up. 

Quantitation is by GC using MS. In 

livestock the residues are extracted with 

methanol. The extract is treated with 

enzymes in order to release the 

conjugated glucuronic acid metabolite. 

The residues are then isolated by liquid/ 

liquid partition followed by column 

chromatography. The hydroxylated 

metabolite is acetylated followed by a 

column clean-up. The parent and 

acetylated metabolite are quantitated by 

GC with electron capture detection.

Interregional Research Project Number 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 

W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to 

establish a tolerance for residues of 

fluroxypyr MHE, and its metabolite 

fluroxypyr (expressed as combined 

residues of total fluroxypyr) in or on 

food commodities pome, fruit, group 11 

at 0.02 ppm; millet, grain at 0.5 ppm; 

millet, forage at 12.0 ppm; grass, hay at 

20.0 ppm; millet, proso, grain at 0.5 

ppm; millet, proso, straw at 12.0 ppm; 

millet, proso, forage at 12.0 ppm; millet, 

proso, hay at 20.0 ppm; millet, pearl, 

grain at 0.5 ppm; millet, pearl, forage at 

12.0 ppm; and millet, pearl, hay at 20.0 

ppm. Adequate enforcement method for 

the combined residues of total 

fluroxypyr is available to enforce the 

tolerance expression in or on food. The 

analytical method uses capillary GC and 

mass selective detection (MSD) with 

LOQ of 0.01 ppm. Fluroxypyr has also 

been tested through the Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA), Multi-residue 

Methodology, Protocols C, D, and E. The 

results have been published in the FDA 

Pesticide Analytical Manual, volume 1.

Amended Exemption from Tolerance 

PP 5E6996. (Docket ID number EPA–

HQ–OPP–2005–0306). BASF 

Corporation, 100 Campus Drive, 

Florham Park, NJ 07932, proposes to 

amend an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of vitamin E (CAS no. 1406–18–4) by 

including the form of vitamin E alcohol 

(d-alpha tocopherol, CAS no. 59–02–9 

and dl-alpha tocopherol, CAS no. 

10191–41–0), and vitamin E Acetate (dalpha tocopheryl acetate, CAS no. 58–

95–7 and dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate, 

CAS no. 7695–91–2), in or on raw 

agricultural commodities when used as 

an ingredient in pesticide formulations 

used in accordance with good 

agricultural practices. Vitamin E is a 

chemical complex that includes eight 

naturally occurring homologues having 

a chromanol ring and a twelve-carbon 

aliphatic side chain containing two 

methyl groups in the middle and two or 

more methyl groups on the end. Vitamin 

E is found in many plant-derived foods 

and is believed to be necessary for 

human health. Vitamin E alcohol in the 

form of d-alpha tocopherol has the 

highest biological activity of the 

compounds in the vitamin E complex. 

Vitamin E alcohol and its ester, vitamin 

E acetate, are commonly consumed as 

dietary supplements. Vitamin E alcohol 

and vitamin E acetate are common food 

additives. Vitamin E alcohol is used as 

an antioxidant for foods or food 

chemicals. Vitamin E acetate is a 

common animal feed additive and is 

used widely in topical skin care 

products. 

EPA has determined that the petition 

contains data or information regarding 

the elements set forth in section 408 

(d)(2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has 

not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the 

submitted data at this time or whether

the data supports granting of the 

petition. Additional data may be needed 

before EPA rules on the petition. 

Because this petition is a request for an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance without numerical limitations, 

no analytical method is required.

Ethylene Oxide; Receipt of Application 

for Emergency Exemption, Solicitation 

of Public Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has received a 

quarantine exemption request from the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) to use the pesticide ethylene 

oxide (EtO); Receipt (CAS No. 75–21–8) 

to sterilize the interior surfaces of 

enclosed animal isolator units to control 

microorganisms to create a germ free 

environment for research at USDA 

National Veterinary Services 

laboratories (NVSL) and at the National 

Animal Disease Center (NADC) in 

Ames, IA. The application proposes the 

use of a pesticide containing an active 

ingredient which is the subject of a 

Special Review. Due to the urgent
