Mail: Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket (7502P), Start Printed Page 57943Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001.
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 174 or part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various food commodities. EPA has determined Start Printed Page 57944that the pesticide petitions described in this notice 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.
1. PP 0E7755. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0740). Exigent, LLC, 377 S. Main Street, Yuma, AZ 85367, the U.S. agent on behalf of Quimica Agronomica de Mexico, S. de R.L. MI., Calle 18 N° 20501, Colonia Impulso, C.P. 31183, Chihuahua, Chih., Mexico, proposes to establish tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide oxytetracycline, in or on cucurbits, crop group 9; and fruiting vegetables, crop group 8 at 0.03 parts per million (ppm). An analytical method was developed and used to quantitate residues of oxytetracycline by using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) detection. The limits of quantitation (LOQs), in all matrices, were 0.028 ppm for oxytetracycline (as base). The limit of detection (LOD), in all matrices, was defined as 0.0093 ppm for oxytetracycline, as base (1/3 or LOQ). This method is available for enforcement purposes with a LOD that allows monitoring of food with residues at or above the levels set in these tolerances.

2. PP 0F7726. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0725). Arysta LifeScience North America, LLC, 15401 Weston Pkwy., Suite 150, Cary, NC 27513, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide fluoxastrobin, (1E)-[2-[[6-(2-chlorophenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimydinyl]oxy]phenyl](5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)methanone O-methyloxime, and its Z isomer, (1Z)-[2-[[6-(2-chlorophenoxy)-5-fluoro-4-pyrimydinyl]oxy]phenyl](5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazin-3-yl)methanone O-methyloxime, in or on raw agricultural commodities listed under crop subgroup 9B - squash/cucumber at 0.5 ppm. Adequate analytical methodology using high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) detection is available for enforcement purposes.

3. PP 0F7736. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0707). Adorno and Yoss, LLP, 1225 19th Street, NW., Suite 500, Washington, DC 20036-2456 as the U.S. agent on behalf of Productos Químicos y Alimenticios OSKU S.A. (OSKU), 5212 El Guanaco, Huechuraba, Santiago, Chile, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide sulfur dioxide (from sodium metabisulfite), in or on blueberry at 10 ppm. An adequate residue analytical method is available for enforcement purposes. The modified Monier-Williams method, which is the official method of analysis approved by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), is listed in 40 CFR Appendix B to part 425.

4. PP 0F7744. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0755). BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Drive, P.O. Box 13528, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709-3528, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for the combined residues of the herbicide saflufenacil (2-chloro-5-[3,6-dihydro-3-methyl-2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl]-4-fluoro-N-[[methyl(1-methylethyl)amino]sulfonyl]benzamide) and its metabolites N-[2-chloro-5-(2,6-dioxo-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dihydro-1(2H)-pyrimidinyl)-4-fluorobenzoyl]-N′-isopropylsulfamide and N-[4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-({[(isopropylamino)sulfonyl]amino}carbonyl)phenyl]urea, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of saflufenacil, in or on oilseeds, cottonseed subgroup 20C, gin by products at 3.5 ppm; oilseeds, cottonseed subgroup 20C, undelinted seed at 0.2 ppm; oilseeds, sunflower subgroup 20B, seed at 1.0 ppm; pea, vines at 8.0 ppm; soybean, aspirated grain fractions at 4.52 ppm; soybean, hulls at 0.42 ppm; soybean, seed at 0.1 ppm; vegetable, legume, subgroup 6C, beans, dry at 0.5 ppm; vegetable, legume, subgroup 6C, peas, dry at 0.1 ppm. Adequate enforcement methodology (LC/MS/MS methods D0603/02 (plants) and L0073/01 (livestock)) is available to enforce the tolerance expression.

1. PP 0E7727. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0703). Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) Project Headquarters, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08450, on behalf of Koppert Biological Systems, Inc., 28465 Beverly Road, Romulus, MI 48174, proposes to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of lactoperoxidase (CAS No. 9003-99-0) under 40CFR 180.920 in or on all raw agricultural commodities when used pre-harvest as a pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide formulations of the active ingredients potassium iodide and potassium thiocyanate. Since it is proposed that lactoperoxidase be exempt from the requirement for a tolerance, no analytical method is necessary.

2. PP 0E7753. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0733). The Law Offices of Walter G. Talarek, P.C., 1008 Riva Ridge Drive, Great Falls, VA 22066-1620 as the U. S. agent on behalf of Innospec Limited, Innospec Manufacturing Park, Oil Sites Road, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire CH65 4EY, United Kingdom, proposes to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues Start Printed Page 57945of [S,S]-ethylenediamine disuccinic acid tri-sodium salt (hereafter referred to as EDDS) (CAS No. 178949-82-1) under 40 CFR 180.910 when used in accordance with good agricultural practices as a pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops or to raw agricultural commodities after harvest. An analytical method has not been proposed because EDDS residues harmful to plants and animals is highly unlikely to occur when it is applied as part of the proposed pesticide formulation and according to that formulation's label directions for use.
