particular entity, consult the person listed at the end of the 
pesticide petition summary of interest.

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 email. 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 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, requesting the establishment or modification of 
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in 
or on various food commodities. The Agency is taking public comment on 
the requests before responding to the petitioners. EPA is not proposing 
any particular action at this time. 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. After 
considering the public comments, EPA intends to evaluate whether and 
what action may be warranted. 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 document, prepared by the petitioner, is 
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket 
for each of the petitions 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 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 Tolerance

    1. PP 2E8083. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0791). Interregional Research 
Project Number 4 (IR-4), IR-4 Project Headquarters, 500 College Rd. 
East, Suite 201 W., Princeton, NJ 08540, requests to establish 
tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the herbicide linuron, 
(3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methoxy-1-methylurea), and its metabolites 
convertible to 3,4-dichloroaniline, calculated as linuron, in or on 
cilantro, dried leaves at 27 parts per million (ppm); cilantro, fresh 
leaves at 3.0 ppm; coriander, seed at 0.01; dill, oil at 4.8 ppm; dill, 
seed at 0.3 ppm; dillweed, dried leaves at 7.1 ppm; dillweed, fresh 
leaves at 1.5 ppm; horseradish at 0.05 ppm; parsley, dry leaves at 8.3 
ppm; parsley, leaves at 3.0 ppm; and pea, dry, seed at 0.08 ppm. 
Adequate enforcement methods are available for the determination of 
linuron in plant and animal commodities. A gas chromatography/mass 
spectroscopy (GC/MS) detection method involves hydrolysis of linuron 
and all metabolites by alkaline reflux to 3,4-dichloroaniline, followed 
by distillation of the 3,4-dichloroaniline into an acid solution. A 
second method involves extraction of linuron and metabolites using 
methanol and clean-up of the extract by using an ENVI-Carb solid phase 
extraction (SPE) column, elution of linuron and its metabolites using 
methanol followed by methanol-toluene, and concentration of the eluate. 
The eluate is dissolved in methanol, filtered, and analyzed for linuron 
and its metabolites using reversed phase high pressure liquid 
chromatography (HPLC) with MS/MS detection. Contact: Laura Nollen, 
(RD), (703) 305-7390, email address: nollen.laura@epa.gov.
    2. PP 3E8170. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-0235). Interregional Research

New Tolerance Exemption

    1. PP 2E8094. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-0265). The Clorox Company (Clorox), 
1221 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94612-1888, requests to establish an 
exemption from the requirement of tolerance for residues of saturated 
aliphatic acyclic linear primary alcohols, aldehydes, and acids, under 
40 CFR 180.940, when used as pesticide inert ingredients (fragrances) 
in pesticide formulations used on food-contact surfaces when applied/
used in indoor residential settings at a maximum rate of 0.025%. 
Because Clorox is petitioning for an exemption from the requirement of 
a tolerance, an enforcement analytical method is not needed. Contact: 
David Lieu, (RD), (703) 305-0079, email address: lieu.david@epa.gov.
    2. PP 2E8116. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-0286). OhSo Clean, Inc., 315 Pacific 
Ave., San Francisco, CA 94111, requests to establish an exemption from 
the requirement of a tolerance for residues of copper sulfate 
pentahydrate (Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS No.) 
7758-99-8), under 40 CFR 180.940(a), when used as a pesticide inert 
ingredient in antimicrobial pesticide formulations applied to food-
contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy processing equipment, 
and food processing equipment and utensils. An analytical method is not 
required for enforcement purposes since the Agency is establishing an 
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance without any numerical 
limitation. Contact: David Lieu, (RD), (703) 305-0079, email address:

    8. PP IN-10565. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-0467). Huntsman Corp., 8600 
Gosling Rd., The Woodlands, TX 77381, requests to establish an 
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 
cumenesulfonic acid and its ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, 
sodium, and zinc salts with no limits when used as pesticide inert 
ingredients (surfactants, related adjuvants of surfactants) in 
pesticide formulations under 40 CFR 180.920 and 180.930, in or on all 
the raw agricultural commodities, including the following with Chemical 
Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CASRNs): Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-
(1-methylethyl)-, sodium salt (15763-76-5); benzenesulfonic acid, 4-(1-
methylethyl)- (16066-35-6); benzenesulfonic acid, 4-(1-methylethyl)-, 
potassium salt (164524-02-1); benzenesulfonic acid, (1-methylethyl)-, 
potassium salt (28085-69-0); benzenesulfonic acid, (1-methylethyl)-, 
sodium salt (1:1) (28348-53-0); benzenesulfonic acid, 2(or 4)-(1-
methylethyl)- (28631-63-2); benzene, (1-methylethyl)-, monosulfo 
deriv., sodium salt (1:1) (32073-22-6); benzenesulfonic acid, (1-
methylethyl)-, ammonium salt (1:1) (37475-88-0); benzenesulfonic acid, 
(1-methylethyl)- (37953-05-2); benzenesulfonic acid, (1-methylethyl)-, 
magnesium salt (90959-88-9). Prior to the submission of this petition 
to add cumenesulfonate CASRNs, the EPA reapproved toluenesulfonate and 
xylenesulfonate hydrotropes in the EPA Decision Documents dated 9/14/
2006 and 6/30/2006. The combined documents are available at http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/xylenesulfonic.pdf. Huntsman Corp. is 
relying on the information in that combined EPA Decision Document to 
support this petition which includes a chemistry that was also in the 
Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) Initial Assessment Report for 
hdrotropes. The SIDS hydrotropes category included cumenesulfonates, 
toluenesulfonates, and xylenesulfonates. In fact, cumenesulfonate data 
was used to support the reassessment of the toluenesulfonates and 
xylenesulfonates in the EPA Decision Document. Huntsman Corp. does not 
expect the addition of these cumenesulfonate CASRNs to result in 
additional exposure or risk, and no new data is being submitted with 
this petition. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed 
because this information is not required for the establishment of a 
tolerance exemption. Contact: William D. Cutchin, (RD), (703) 305-7990, 
email address: cutchin.william@epa.gov.
