FMC Corporation, 1735 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19103, requests to amend the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.418 for residues of the insecticide, zeta-cypermethrin, in or on raw agricultural commodities corn, field, forage from 0.2 parts per million (ppm) to 9.0 ppm; corn, field, stover from 3.0 ppm to 30.0 ppm; and corn, pop, stover from 3.0 ppm to 30.0 ppm. The Gas Chromatography with Electron Capture Detection (GC/ECD) analytical method is used to measure and evaluate the residues of zeta-cypermethrin for the proposed, amended uses. Contact: RD.
1. PP 2F8102. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0963). BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R in or on all food commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because, as proposed, the use of Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R would not result in residues that are of toxicological concern. Note: In the Federal Register of February 21, 2014 (79 FR 9870) (FRL-9904-98), EPA announced the filing of this petition to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Trichoderma fertile strain JM41R in or on all food commodities. Since that time, the petitioner provided additional data on the identity of the active ingredient to EPA. After reviewing these data, EPA now considers the correct identity of the active ingredient to be Trichoderma asperelloides strain JM41R and not Trichoderma fertile strain JM41R. In order to give the public an opportunity to comment on this new information, EPA is republishing its receipt of this tolerance exemption petition filing with an updated and accurate description. Contact: BPPD.
2. PP 4F8252. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0920). Certis USA LLC, 9145 Guilford Rd., Suite 175, Columbia, MD 21046, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide Bacillus mycoides isolate J, in or on all agricultural commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is being sought for any residues and enforcement of residue levels would not be needed. Contact: BPPD.
3. PP 4F8271. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0919). Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc., 2121 Second St., Suite B-107, Davis, CA 95618, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the nematocide, fungicide, and insecticide, sterile grain inoculated with Muscodor albus strain SA-13, in or on all food commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because the active ingredient will not be in direct contact with treated commodities, has limited survivability once the nutrient source is exhausted, and will not result in residues of toxicological concern. Contact: BPPD.
4. PP 4F8276. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0454). Monsanto Company, 800 North Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63167, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 174 for residues of the plant-incorporated protectant, Bacillus thuringiensis Cry2Ab2 protein, in or on soybean. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is being sought. Contact: BPPD.
5. PP 4F8289. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0834). Southern Garden Citrus, 1820 Country Rd. 833, Clewiston, FL 33440, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 174 for residues of defensin proteins derived from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and inserted into citrus plants in order to confer disease resistance. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is being sought. Contact: BPPD.
6. PP IN-10683. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0176). Exponent, Inc., 1150 Connecticut Ave. NW., Suite 1100, Washington, DC 20036 (on behalf of Huntsman Corporation, 8600 Gosling Rd., The Woodlands, TX 77381), requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of di-n-butyl carbonate (CAS No. 542-52-9) when used as a pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide formulations as a solvent without limits. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is being sought for this inert ingredient. Contact: RD.
7. PP IN-10770. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0874). BASF Corporation, 100 Park Ave., Florham Park, NJ 07932, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.960 for residues of 2-propenoic acid, polymer with ethenyl acetate, ethenylbenzene, 2-ethylhexyl 2-propenoate and ethyl 2-propenoate (CAS No. 85075-52-1) with a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) of 50,000 Daltons, when used as a pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide formulations. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because it is not relevant based upon the definition of a low risk polymer under 40 CFR 723.250. Contact: RD.
