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.

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.

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 180 for residues of pesticide 

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. EPA has determined that 

the pesticide petitions described in this 

document 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 Tolerances 

1. PP 8F7373. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–

0126). Chemtura Corporation, 199 

Benson Road, Middlebury, CT 06749, 

proposes to establish a tolerance for 

residues of the insecticide bifenazate, 

hydrazine carboxylic acid, 2-(4- 

methoxy-[1,1’-biphenyl]-3-yl) 1- 

methylethyl ester, in or on corn, grain 

at 0.02 part per million (ppm); corn, 

sweet, kernel plus cob with husks 

removed at 0.05 ppm; corn, forage at 25 

ppm; corn, stover at 13 ppm; and 

aspirated grain fractions at 0.7 ppm. The 

analytical method was designed to 

convert all residues of D3598, a 

significant metabolite, to the parent 

compound (bifenazate) for analysis. The 

method utilizes reversed phase high 

performance liquid chromatography 

(HPLC) to separate the bifenazate from 

matrix derived interferences, and

detection for the identification and 

quantification of this analyte. The limit 

of quantitation (LOQ) for bifenazate in 

corn matrices and processed 

commodities was 0.01 ppm. The limit of 

detection (LOD) for the method is set at 

0.005 ppm. The method has also been 

validated by liquid chromatography/ 

mass spectrometry/mass spectroscopy 

(LC/MS/MS), and used for the 

confirmation of residues for corn raw 

agricultural commodities (RAC) and 

processed commodities. The analytical 

method for bifenazate and its major 

metabolite D3598, in animal tissues was 

designed using the same principles 

invoked in the plant method, with 

minor modifications. However, in 

animal tissue samples, a separate 

aliquot of the extract was used to 

determine residues of A1530, and its 

sulfate (combined) in milk and meat 

samples (as these metabolites appeared 

to be significant in the goat metabolism 

studies). The extract was subjected to 

acid hydrolysis to convert the sulfate 

conjugate to A1530, before it was 

quantified by LC/MS/MS. Another 

metabolite, D9569, was also monitored 

in milk by LC/MS/MS. Contact: Amer 

Al-Mudallal, (703) 605–0566; almudallal.amer@epa.gov. 

2. PP 8F7395. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–

0646). Valent U.S.A. Corporation, P.O. 

Box 8025, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 (as 

Agent for Sumitomo Chemical 

Company, Ltd.), proposes to establish a 

tolerance for residues of the insecticide 

clothianidin, (E)-1-(2-chloro-1,3-thiazol5-ylmethyl)-3-methyl-2-nitroguanidine, 

in or on almond, hull at 1.5 ppm; 

cotton, seed at 0.25 ppm; cotton, gin 

trash at 4.5 ppm; cotton, meal at 0.25 

ppm; cotton, hull at 0.25 ppm; cotton, 

refined oil at 0.01 ppm; soybean, seed 

at 0.03 ppm; soybean, hull at 0.35 ppm; 

soybean, meal at 0.07 ppm; soybean, oil 

at 0.01 ppm; tomato, paste at 0.08 ppm; 

tomato, puree at 0.07 ppm; nut, tree, 

group 14 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, 

cucurbit, group 9 at 0.05 ppm; and 

vegetable, fruiting, group 8 at 0.25 ppm; 

and clothianidin, (E)-1-(2-chloro-1,3- 

thiazol-5-ylmethyl)-3-methyl-2- 

nitroguanidine and its metabolite, N-(2- 

chlorothiazol-5-ylmethyl)-N’- 

methylguanidine (TMG), in or on 

vegetable, leafy, brassica, group 5 at 3.0 

ppm; and vegetable, leafy, except 

brassica, group 4 at 3.5 ppm. Adequate 

enforcement methodology LC/MS/MS 

analysis is available to enforce the 

tolerance expression. Contact: Kable

New Exemption from an Inert Tolerance 

PP 8E7402. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–

0652). Falcon Lab, LLC, 1103 Norbee 

Drive, Wilmington, DE 19803, proposes 

to establish an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.910 and 40 CFR 180.950 for 

residues of ammonium salts of higher 

fatty acids, [C8-C18 saturated and C8-C12

unsaturated, (CAS No. 84776–33–0)], 

when used as a pesticide inert 

ingredient in pesticide formulations in 

or on all food commodities. Because this 

petition is a request for an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance, no 

analytical method is required. Contact:
