(the report may be found at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab/panels/ 

cremgacpanel.html). 

The CREM also commissioned the 

National Academy of Science (NAS) to 

assess evolving scientific and technical 

issues related to the selection and use of 

computational and statistical models in 

decision making processes at the EPA. 

The NAS report which provides advice 

on the management, evaluation and use 

of models at the EPA was released in 

2007 (the report may be found at 

http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?

record_id=11972). 

This revised draft of the Guidance 

Document builds on the 

recommendations of the Science 

Advisory Board review panel and the 

National Research Council report on 

Models in Environmental Regulatory 

Decision Making.

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 under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

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. 

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 printing notice of the filing of 

a pesticide petition received 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 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. EPA has determined that 

the pesticide petition described in this 

notice contains data or information 

regarding the elements set forth 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 supports granting of 

the pesticide petition. Additional data 

may be needed before EPA rules on this 

pesticide petition. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of the petition included in this 

notice, prepared by the petitioner, is 

included in a docket EPA has created 

for this rulemaking. The docket for this 

petition is available on-line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

Amendment to Existing Tolerances 

PP 7F7250. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–

0609). Pace International, LLC, 5661 

Branch Road, Wapato, WA 98951, 

proposes to amend 40 CFR 180.518 by 

increasing tolerances for residues of the 

fungicide pyrimethanil (4,6-dimethyl-Nphenyl-2-pyrimidinamine), in or on the 

raw agricultural commodities for the 

pome fruit crop group, namely apples, 

crabapple, loquat, mayhaw, pear, 

including oriental pear, and quince to 

14 parts per million (ppm), and pome 

fruit wet pomace to 56 ppm. The 

petitioner, Pace International LLC, 

proposes to amend 40 CFR 180.518 to 

increase the tolerances for the combined 

residues of the fungicide 4,6-dimethylN-phenyl-2-pyrimidinamine, expressed 

as pyrimethanil, and its metabolite 4- 

[4,6-(dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl) 

amino]phenol in or on kidney of cattle, 

goat, horse, and sheep to 0.6 ppm and 

to increase the tolerances for the 

combined residues of the fungicide 4,6- 

dimethyl-N-phenyl-2-pyrimidinamine, 

expressed as pyrimethanil, and its 

metabolite 4,6-dimethyl-2- 

(phenylamino)-5-pyrimidinol in milk to 

0.06 ppm. 

The analytical method for 

Pyrimenthanil involves the extraction of 

Pyrimethanil from apples by 

homogenization with acetone, the 

extract acidified and washed with 

hexane and basified to enable solvent 

partition (ethyl acetate and hexane). 

Final clean-up was by silica SPE, with 

determination by gas chromatography 

with mass selective detection. The 

validated sensitivity of the method is 

0.05 ppm for pyrimethanil, which 

allows for the detection and 

measurement of residues in or on pome 

fruits at or above the proposed tolerance 

level.
