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 biochemical 

pesticide discussed in this document, 

compared to the general population. 

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA is announcing receipt of a 

pesticide petition filed under section 

408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

proposing the establishment/ 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of the biopesticide 

chemical 2,6-DIPN in or on various food 

commodities. EPA has determined that 

the pesticide petition described in this 

notice contains 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 supports 

granting of the petition. Additional data 

may be needed before EPA can make a 

final determination on this petition. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of the petition that is the 

subject of this notice, prepared by the 

petitioner, is included in a docket EPA 

has created for this rulemaking. The 

docket for this petition is available online 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/modification of 

regulations for residues of 2,6-DIPN in 

or on various food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit. 

EPA has received a pesticide petition 

PP 9F7626 from Loveland Products Inc., 

7251 W. 4th Street, Greeley, CO 80634 

proposing pursuant to section 408(d) of 

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C.346a(d) to 

amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing 

permanent tolerances for residues of the 

biochemical pesticide 2,6-DIPN in or on 

the following food commodities: Cattle, 

fat at 0.8 ppm; cattle, liver at 0.3 ppm; 

cattle, meat at 0.1 ppm; cattle, meat 

byproducts at 0.1 ppm; goat, fat at 0.8 

ppm; goat, liver at 0.3 ppm; goat, meat 

at 0.1 ppm; goat, meat byproducts at 0.1 

ppm; hog, fat at 0.8 ppm; hog, liver at 

0.3 ppm; hog, meat at 0.1 ppm; hog, 

meat byproducts at 0.1 ppm; horse, fat 

at 0.8 ppm; horse, liver at 0.3 ppm; 

horse, meat at 0.1 ppm; horse, meat 

byproducts at 0.1 ppm; milk at 0.1 ppm; 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 21, 2009 / Notices 54045 

potato at 2.0 ppm; potato, wet peel at 

6.0 ppm; sheep, fat at 0.8 ppm; sheep, 

liver at 0.3 ppm; sheep, meat at 0.1 

ppm; and sheep, meat byproducts at 0.1 

ppm. The proposed tolerance levels are 

based on results of studies on the 

magnitude of 2,6-DIPN in potatoes and 

processed potatoes and in livestock 

edible commodities. EPA issued a final 

rule, published in the Federal Register 

of September 1, 2006 (71 FR 52003) 

(FRL–8081–9), which announced that it 

established time-limited tolerances for 

residues of the biochemical pesticide 

2,6-DIPN in or on the above-listed 

commodities, with an expiration date of 

August 1, 2009. Because of a thenexisting data gap, all initial tolerances 

were time-limited. The time limitation 

was established to provide sufficient 

time for the development and review of 

additional data, specifically a study on 

the nature of 2,6-DIPN residues in 

potatoes and animals, an independent 

laboratory validation of analytical 

methods in animal tissues, and a 

multiresidue method tryout. Loveland 

Products Inc. submitted the study on the 

nature of the residues in plants and 

animals on July 24, 2009, and a 

multiresidue method tryout report on 

October 8, 2009. 

EPA is providing a shortened 

comment period of 10 days on this 

notice of filing. EPA is expediting action 

on this petition because the time-limited 

tolerances for 2,6-DIPN have expired. 

EPA has determined that 2,6-DIPN is a 

reduced risk pesticide and, given its 

wide-scale use on potatoes in cold 

storage, that it is in the public interest 

to have this reduced risk pesticide 

available as soon as possible for use on 

this valuable commodity. Application of 

2,6-DIPN on stored potatoes decreases 

the number of applications necessary for 

a conventional pesticide on stored 

potatoes, thus posing less risks and 

providing better efficacy. EPA has 

previously evaluated the toxicity of 2,6- 

DIPN and determined that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result from dietary exposure to residues 

of 2,6-DIPN at the requested tolerance 

levels. Thus, EPA does not anticipate 

receiving any adverse comments on the 

subject petition. For these reasons, EPA 

is expediting the processing of this 

petition and is confident that a 

shortened 10–day comment period on 

the petition is appropriate.
