III. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is printing notice of the filing of 

pesticide petitions 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 petitions described in this 

notice contain 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 support granting of the 

pesticide petitions. Additional data may 

be needed before EPA rules on these 

pesticide petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of each of the petitions 

included in 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. 

A. New Tolerances 

1. PP 7E7258 and 7E7286. (EPA–HQ–

OPP–2008–0049). Interregional 

Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 681 

U.S. Highway #1 South, North 

Brunswick, NJ 08902–3390, proposes to 

establish a tolerance for residues of 

triflumizole, [1-[1-((4-chloro-2- 

(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)imino)- 

2propoxyethyl]-1H-imidazole] in or on 

food commodities for PP 7E7258: Leafy 

greens except spinach (subgroup 4A) 

and cilantro, leaves at 35 parts per 

million (ppm); swiss chard at 18 ppm; 

pineapple at 4.0 ppm; papaya; sapote 

black; canistel; sapote, mamey; mango; 

sapodilla and star apple at 2.5 ppm; 

hop, dried cones at 50.0 ppm; and for 

PP 7E7286: Brassica, head and stem, 

subgroup 5A at 5.0 ppm. The analytical 

method is suitable for analyzing crops 

for residues of triflumizole and its 

aniline containing metabolites at the 

proposed tolerance levels. The 

analytical method has been 

independently validated. Residue levels 

of triflumizole are converted to FA-1–1 

by acidic and alkaline reflux, followed 

by distillation. Residues are then 

extracted and subjected to SPE 

purification. Detection and quantitation 

are conducted by gas chromatograph 

equipped with nitrogen phosphorus 

detector, electron capture detector or 

mass spectrometry detection. The limit 

of quantitation of the method has been 

determined in the range of 0.01 ppm to 

0.05 ppm for the combined residues of 

triflumizole and FA-1–1. The 

enforcement methodology has been 

submitted to the Food and Drug 

Administration for publication in the 

Pesticide Analytical Manual (PAM II) 

Vol. II. Contact: Sidney Jackson, 

telephone number: (703) 305–7610; email address: jackson.sidney@epa.gov. 

2. PP 7E7268. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–

1199). Valent USA Corporation, 1600 

Riviera Avenue, Walnut Creek, CA 

94596–8025, proposes to establish a 

tolerance for residues of the 

uniconazole, [(E)-(+)-(S)-1-(4- 

chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4- 

triazol-1-yl)-pent-1-ene-3-ol] in or on 

food commodity vegetables, fruiting, 

group 8 at 0.01 ppm. An adequate 

analytical enforcement method is 

available for the determination of 

residues of uniconazole in plants. The 

analytical method has been validated by 

an independent laboratory. Contact: 

Shaja R. Brothers, telephone number: 

(703) 308–3194; e-mail address: 

brothers.shaja@epa.gov. 

3. PP 7E7287. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–

1159). Interregional Research Project #4 

(IR-4), Rutgers, The State University of 

New Jersey, 500 College Road East, 

Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540, 

proposes to establish a tolerance for 

residues of gamma-cyhalothrin ((S)- 

[alpha]-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (Z)- 

(1R,3R)-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3- 

trifluoripropenyl)-2,2- 

dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate) in or 

on food commodities pistachio at 0.05 

ppm and okra at 0.2 ppm. An adequate 

analytical method is available for 

enforcement purposes. In the Federal 

Register of April 8, 2004 (69 FR 18480) 

(FRL–7353–4), the ICI method 81 for 

lamda-cyhalothrin has been validated 

by EPA. Given the enantiomeric relation 

of gamma-cyhalothrin to lambdacyhalothrin and the fact that the method 

does not provide chiral resolution, the 

method is also applicable to gammacyhalothrin. Contact: Susan Stanton, 

telephone number: (703) 305–5218; email address: stanton.susan@epa.gov. 

4. PP 7E7298. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2006–

0875). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR-4), 681 U.S. Highway #1 

South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902–

3390, proposes to establish a tolerance 

for residues of the insecticide 

fenpropathrin, alpha-cyano-3- 

phenoxybenzyl 2,2,3,3- 

tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylate in 

or on food commodities caneberry 

subgroup 13–07A at 12 ppm and olives 

at 5 ppm. Adequate analytical 

methodology is available to detect and 

quantify fenpropathrin at residue levels 

in numerous matrices. The methods use 

solvent extraction and partition and/or 

column chromatography clean-up steps, 

followed by separation and quantitation 

using capillary gas liquid 

chromatography (GLC) with FID. The 

extraction efficiency has been validated 

using radiocarbon samples from the 

plant and animal metabolism studies. 

The enforcement methods have been 

validated at independent laboratories 

and by EPA. The limit of quantification 

(LOQ) for fenpropathrin in raw 

agricultural commodity samples is 

usually 0.01 ppm. Contact: Sidney 

Jackson, telephone number: (703) 305–

7610; e-mail address:

5.PP 7E7300. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–

1202). Interregional Research Project 

Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, 

Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 05840, 

proposes to establish a tolerance for 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
6966 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 25 / Wednesday, February 6, 2008 / Notices 

residues of propiconazole, 1-[[2-(2,4- 

dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3-dioxolan2-yl] methyl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole and its 

metabolites determined as 2,4,- 

dichlorobenzoic acid and expressed as 

parent compound in or on food 

commodities beet, garden, roots at 0.6 

ppm; parsley, leaves at 13 ppm; parsley, 

dried leaves at 60 ppm; coriander, fresh 

at 13 ppm; vegetable, leaves of root and 

tuber, group 2 at 8.0 ppm; pineapple 

(post harvest) at 0.9 ppm; and turnip, 

roots at 0.2 ppm. Analytical methods 

AG-626 and AG-454A were developed 

for the determination of residues of 

propiconazole and its metabolites 

containing the DCBA moiety. Analytical 

method AG-626 has been accepted and 

published by EPA as the tolerance 

enforcement method for crops. The limit 

of quantitation (LOQ) for the method is 

0.05 ppm. Contact: Shaja R. Brothers, 

telephone number: (703) 308–3194; email address: brothers.shaja@epa.gov. 

6. PP 7F7289. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–

0066). Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., 

P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419, 

proposes to establish a tolerance for 

residues of the herbicide fluazifop-pbutyl in or on food commodities dry 

beans at 25 ppm; dry beans at 25 ppm; 

peanuts at 1.5 ppm; soybean at 2.5 ppm; 

soybean meal at 2.5 ppm; and soybean 

refined oil at 0.01 ppm. The analytical 

method utilized in the studies 

supporting this action is based upon the 

Pesticide Analytical Method (PAM) Vol. 

II, Method II for the enforcement of 

tolerances for fluazifop-p-butyl residues 

of concern for oily and non-oily crops. 

Using this method, residues of 

fluazifop-p-butyl or fluazifop, and any 

ester or acid conjugates are extracted 

from crop samples using a mixture of 

acetonitrile and dilute acid. Residues 

are then hydrolyzed using hydrochloric 

acid to fluazifop and further cleaned up 

via solvent partitioning, and absorption 

chromatography. Once sufficiently 

cleaned up, the samples are 

subsequently derivatized to form the 

methyl ester derivative of fluazifop prior 

mass-selective detection using gas 

chromatography/mass spectrometry 

(GC/MS). It should be noted that this 

analytical method does not distinguish 

the optical isomers of fluazifop-butyl or 

fluazifop but instead, hydrolyzes these 

residues to a common moiety (fluazifop 

acid) and as such, the detected residues 

are reported as ‘‘fluazifop’’ residues.

7. PP 7F7304. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–

0065). Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. 

Alexander Drive, P.O. Box 12014, 

Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 

proposes to establish a tolerance for 

residues of the herbicide 

propoxycarbazone, methyl 2-[[[(4,5- 

dihydro-4-methyl-5-oxo-3-propoxy-1H1,2,4-triazol-1- 

yl)carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl] benzoate 

and its metabolite, methyl 2-[[[(4,5- 

dihydro-3-(2-hydroxypropoxy)-4- 

methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1- 

yl)carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]benzoate 

(MKH–6561) in or on food commodities 

grass forage at 20 ppm, and grass hay at 

25 ppm. The proposed tolerance 

expression is MKH–6561 and Pr–2–OH 

MKH–6561. An analytical method was 

developed to measure these two 

analytes in plant matrices. The method 

was validated in grass tissues and the 

analysis by high performance liquid 

chromatography-electrospray 

ionization/tandem mass spectrometry 

(LC/MS/MS). In animal matrices, the 

proposed tolerance expression is MKH–

6561. The proposed tolerance 

expression is MKH–6561. An analytical 

method was developed to measure this 

analyte in animal tissues and milk. The 

method was validated in animal tissues 

and milk. MKH–6561 was extracted 

from the tissues with 0.05 M NH4OH 

using accelerated solvent extraction. 

Trifluoroacetic acid (0.5 mL) and an 

isotopically labeled internal standard 

were added to the extract which was 

then centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 10 

minutes. Approximately half of the 

sample was loaded onto a C–18 SPE 

cartridge. The C–18 SPE cartridge was 

washed with aqueous trifluoroacetic 

acid (0.1%) and aqueous acetic acid 

(0.1%). A three to one mixture of 

acetonitrile and aqueous acetic acid 

(0.1%) was used to elute the analytes 

from the C–18 SPE cartridge. Water and 

acetic acid were added to the sample 

which was analyzed by LC/MS/MS. 

Milk samples were analyzed by 

amending an aliquot of milk with 

trifluororacetic acid (0.5 mL) and 

isotopically labeled internal standard. 

The sample was purified by C–18 SPE 

as described above. The resultant 

sample was analyzed by LC/MS/MS.
