SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. Potentially 

affected entities may include, but are 

not limited to: 

•Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

This listing is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

for readers regarding entities likely to be 

affected by this action. Other types of 

entities not listed in this unit could also 

be affected. The North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes have been provided to 

assist you and others in determining 

whether this action might apply to 

certain entities. If you have any 

questions regarding the applicability of 

this action to a particular entity, consult 

the person listed at the end of the 

pesticide petition summary of interest. 

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 e-mail. 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 submitting comments, remember 

to: 

i. Identify the document by docket ID 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 


PWALKER on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 56 / Wednesday, March 25, 2009 / Notices 12857 

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

iv. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

v. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

vi. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

vii. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

viii. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

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 its receipt of 

several pesticide petitions 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 petitions described in 

this notice contain the 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 support granting of the 

pesticide petitions. Additional data may 

be needed before EPA can make a final 

determination on these pesticide 

petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions that 

are the subject of 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. 

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 may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit. 

New Tolerance 

1. PP 8F7451. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009- 

0007). Cheminova, One Park Drive, 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27707, 

proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 

CFR part 180.364 for residues of the 

herbicide glyphosate N- 

(phosphonomethyl) glycine resulting 

from the application of glyphosate, the 

isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, the 

ethanolamine salt of glyphosate, the 

dimethylamine salt of glyphosate, the 

ammonium salt of glyphosate, and the 

potassium salt of glyphosate in or on 

cotton, gin by-products at 210 parts per 

million (ppm). Adequate enforcement 

methods are available for analysis of 

residues of glyphosate and its 

metabolite AMPA in or on plant 

commodities and in water. These 

methods include gas liquid 

chromatography (GLC) (Method I of 

PAM Vol. II; limit of detection is 0.05 

ppm) and high performance liquid 

chromatography (HPLC) with 

fluorometric detection. Use of the GLC 

method, however, is being discouraged 

due to lengthiness of the procedure. The 

HPLC method has undergone successful 

EPA validation and was recommended 

for inclusion in PAM Vol. II; the limit 

of detection is 0.0005 ppm. For 

enforcement of tolerances in animal 

commodities, an HPLC method with 

fluorescence detector is available; the 

reported limits of detection are 0.01 

ppm for glyphosate and 0.012 ppm for 

AMPA.’’ Contact: Vickie Walters, 703-

Cluster Support Team 23, EPA 

Company Number 84951, c/o CropLife 

America, 1156 15th Street, N.W., Suite 

400, Washington, DC 20005, proposes to 

establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues

Coconut oil polymer with glycerol and 

phthalic anhydride (CAS No. 66070–87– 

9) when used as pesticide inert 

ingredients in pesticide formulations in 

or on all raw agricultural commodities. 

Because this petition is a request for an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance, no analytical method is 

required. Contact: Kerry Leifer, 703-308-

(oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl), alpha-[4-(1,1,3,3- 

tetramethylbutyl)phenyl]-omegahydroxy- (CAS No. 9002–93–1) when 

used as pesticide inert ingredients in 

pesticide formulations. Because this 

petition is a request for an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance, no 

analytical method is required. Contact:

Antimicrobial Pesticide Dockets 

Opened for Review and Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has established 

registration review dockets for the 

pesticides listed in the table in Unit 

III.A. With this document, EPA is 

opening the public comment period for 

these registration reviews. Registration 

review is EPA’s periodic review of 

pesticide registrations to ensure that 

each pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

Agency may consider during the course 

of registration reviews. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before June 23, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments 

identified by the docket identification 

(ID) number for the specific pesticide of 

interest provided in the table in Unit 

III.A., by one of the following methods:
