You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111).

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 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

http://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

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 

pesticide petitions 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 requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain data or information 

prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 

21 U.S.C. 346a(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 petitions. 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 these pesticide 

petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), 

summaries of the petitions that are the 

subject of this document, prepared by 

the petitioners, are included in dockets 

EPA has created for these rulemakings. 

The dockets for these petitions are 

available 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 petitions so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on these requests for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petitions may be 

obtained through the petition 

summaries referenced in this unit. 

A. Amended Tolerance Exemptions for 

Inerts (Except PIPS)

Slidell, LA 70458) requests to amend an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of dimethyl

use as an inert ingredient (solvent, cosolvent) in pesticide formulations 

applied to growing crops pre-harvest 

under 40 CFR 180.920 without 

limitation. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not required for an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. Contact: 

RD. 

B. New Tolerance Exemptions for Inerts 

(Except PIPS) 

• IN–11632. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2021–

inert ingredient (adjuvant) in pesticide 

formulations applied to growing crops 

pre- and post-harvest under 40 CFR 

180.910 without limitation. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because it is not required for 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. Contact: RD. 

C. Notice of Filing—New Tolerances for 

Non-Inerts

tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of the insecticide, 

benzpyrimoxan, in or on rice, grain at 

0.9 parts per million (ppm). The LC– 

MS/MS analytical method was used in 

the residue studies. The method 

involves extraction of benzpyrimoxan 

and NNI–1501–2–OH from crop 

matrices and LC–MS/MS detection and 

was validated using unhulled rice, 

unpolished (brown) rice, and rice straw 

to measure and evaluate the chemical 

benzpyrimoxan. Contact: RD.
