EPA has re ceived a pesticide petition ( IN

- 10607 ) from Huntsman Corp., 8600 Gosling Rd., The Woodlands, TX 773811 request ing, pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for 2,5

- f urandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, reaction products with polyethylene

polypropylene glycol 2

- aminopropyl Me ether, minimum number average molecular weight (in amu), 10,000 ( CASRN 162568

- 32

- 3 ) un der 40 CFR§180.960 when used as an inert ingredient surfactant in food use pesticide formulations without limit

.

EPA has determined that the petition contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in section 408 (d)(2) of FDDCA; 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.

B. Toxicological Profile

1. Acute toxicity. 2,5

- f

urandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene , reaction prod ucts with polyethylene

- polypropylene glycol 2

- aminopropyl Me ether conforms to the definition of a polymer given in 40 CFR 723.2 50 (b) and meets the following 40 CFR 723.250 criteria that are used to identify low

- risk polymers.2

1 a . The polymer is n ot a ca tionic polymer nor is it reasonably anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural aquatic environment.

1b . The polymer does contain as an integral part of its composition the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.

1c . The polyme r does not contain as an integral part of its composition, except as impurities, any element other than those listed in 4 0 CFR 723.25 0(d)(2)(ii).

1d . The polymer is neither designed nor can it be reasonably anticipated to substantially degrade, decompos e, or depolymerize.

1e . The polymer is manufactured or imported from monomers and/or reactants that are already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory.

1f . The polymer is not a water absorbing polymer with a number average molecular weight ( MWn) greater than or equal to 10,000 daltons. 1g . The polymer does not c ontain fluorine, so 40CFR 723.25 0(d)(6) does not apply.

Additionally, the polymer also meets as required the following exemption cri teria specified in 40 CFR 723.25 0(e)(2). The pol ymer's number average MW of 23,817 is greater than or equal to 10,000 daltons. The polymer contains less than 2% oligomeric material below MW 500 and less than 5% oligomeric material below MW 1,000.
