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 

https://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 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 https://

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

Inspection Service (4700 River Road, 

Unit 149, Riverdale, MD 20737), 

requests to amend 40 CFR part 180.930 

to add iron oxide (Fe3O4) (CAS No. 

1317–61–9) as an inert ingredient 

(colorant) in pesticide formulations at 

no more than 2,000 parts per million 

(ppm) (0.2% by weight) in the final 

formulation when applied to animals. 

No analytical method is needed because 

it is not required for an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. Contact: 

RD. 

B. Amended Tolerances for Non-Inerts 

1. PP 1F8929. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2021– 

0555). Gowan Company, LLC 370 S 

Main St., Yuma, AZ 85366, requests to 

amend the tolerance(s) in 40 CFR 

180.416 for residues of the herbicide 

ethalfluralin in or on 3–07A. Onion, 

bulb subgroup at 0.01 ppm. The 

capillary gas chromatography with mass 

selective detection (GC/MSD) is used to 

measure and evaluate the chemical 

ethalfluralin. Contact: RD. 

2. PP 1F8940. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2021– 

0787). SePRO Corporation, 11550 North 

Meridian Street, Suite 600, Carmel, IN 

46032, requests to amend the tolerances 

in 40 CFR 180.420(d) by removing the 

existing tolerances for indirect or 

inadvertent residues of the herbicide 

fluridone, including its metabolites and 

degradates, in or on berry, group 13; 

fruit, citrus, group 10; fruit, pome, group 

11; hop, dried cones; and nut, tree, 

group 14 at 0.1 ppm and animal feed, 

nongrass, group 18 and grass, forage at 

0.15 ppm. Contact: RD. 

C. New Tolerance Exemptions for Inerts 

(Except PIPS) 

1. PP IN–11599. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2021–0645). Valent BioSciences LLC 

(1910 Innovation Way, Suite 100, 

Libertyville, Il. 60048) requests to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of arbuscular mychorrhizae 

(funnelformis mosseae, rhizophagus 

irregularis, rhizophagus etunicatum, 

claroideoglomus clarus, 

claroideoglomus luteum, 

claroideoglomus claroideum, 

septoglomus deserticola, gigaspora 

margarita, paraglomus brasiliensis) for 

use as an inert ingredient (biostimulant) 

in pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops pre-harvest under 40 CFR 

180.920. The petitioner believes no 

analytical method is needed because it 

is not required for an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. Contact: 

RD. 

2. PP IN–11669. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2022–0188). Spring Regulatory Sciences 

(6620 Cypresswood Dr., Suite 250, 

Spring, TX 77379), on behalf Nouryon 

Chemicals LLC USA (131 S Dearborn, 

Suite 1000, Chicago, IL 60603–5566), 

requests to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

cellulose, ethyl 2-hydroxyethyl ether 

(CAS Number: 9004–58–4), with a 

minimum number average molecular 

weight of 165,000 daltons, when used as 

a pesticide inert ingredient (thickener 

carrier) in pesticide formulations under 

40 CFR 180.960. The petitioner believes 

no analytical method is needed because 

it is not required for an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance. Contact: 

RD 

D. New Tolerance Exemptions for NonInerts (Except PIPS) 

PP IF8923. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2021 

–0781). Vestaron Corporation 600 Park 

Offices, Suite 117, Research Triangle, 

NC 27709, requests to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of the insecticide U1–AGTX– 

Ta1b–QA in or on all food commodities. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because an exemption 

from tolerance without numerical 

limitations is requested and analytical 

methods that are normally utilized for 

detection of compounds in crop plants 

are incapable of quantifying the 

negligible levels of U1–AGTX–Ta1b–QA 

that are predicted to be present in raw 

or processed agricultural commodities. 

Contact: BPPD. 

E. New Tolerance Exemptions for PIPS 

PP 1E8948. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2022– 

0205). State University of New York 

(SUNY) College of Environmental 

Science and Forestry, 1 Forestry Dr., 

Syracuse, NY 13210, requests to 

establish an exemption from the

part 174 for residues of the plantincorporated protectant (PIP) oxalate 

oxidase enzyme and the genetic material 

necessary for its production in or on 

American Chestnut (Castanea spp. and 

their hybrids). The petitioner believes 

no analytical method is needed because 

an analytical method for residues is not 

applicable as an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance is proposed. 

Contact: BPPD.
