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.

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed because it is not 

required for the establishment of a 

tolerance exemption for polymeric inert 

ingredients. Contact: Deirdre

3. PP 0E7702. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2010– 

0272). Clariant Corporation, 625 E. 

Catawba Ave, Mt. Holly, NC 28120, 

proposes to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of 2–propenoic acid, 2-methyl- 

, C12-16-alkyl esters, telomers with 1- 

dodecanethiol, polyethylenepolypropylene glycol ether with 

propylene glycol monomethacrylate 

(1:1), and styrene 2,2 -(1,2- 

diazenediyl)bis[2-methylbutanenitrile]- 

initiated (CAS Reg. No. 950207–35–9) 

under 40 CFR 180.960 when used as a 

pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations. Clariant Corporation, is 

petitioning that 2–Propenoic acid, 2– 

methyl-, C12-16-alkyl esters, telomers 

with 1-dodecanethiol, polyethylenepolypropylene glycol ether with 

propylene glycol monomethacrylate 

(1:1), and styrene, 2,2’-(1,2- 

diazenediyl)bis[2-methylbutanenitrile]- 

initiated be exempt from the 

requirement of a tolerance based upon 

the definition of a low-risk polymer 

under 40 CFR 723.250. Therefore, an 

analytical method to determine residues 

on treated crops is not relevant. Contact: 

Elizabeth Fertich, (703) 347–8560, email address: fertich.elizabeth@epa.gov. 

4. PP 9E7538. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2009– 

0066). Croda Inc., 315 Cherry Lane, New 

Castle, DE 19720, proposes to establish 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of alkoxylated 

glycerides used to formulate pesticides 

applied to growing crops or to raw 

commodities after harvest. Croda Inc., is 

petitioning that alkoxylated glycerides 

be exempt from the requirement of a 

tolerance based upon their compliance 

with the low risk polymer criteria per 40 

CFR 723.250. Therefore, an analytical 

method to determine residues in raw 

agricultural commodities has not been 

proposed. No residue chemistry data or 

environmental fate data are presented in 

the petition as the Agency does not 

generally require some or all of the 

listed studies to rule on the exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance for 

a low risk polymer inert ingredient.
