Instructions: Direct your comments to the docket ID number and the pesticide petition number of interest as shown in the body of this document. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the docket without change and may be made available on-line at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov or email. The regulations.gov Web site is an “anonymous access” system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email comment directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the docket and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.Start Printed Page 69691
1. PP 1E7908. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0759). Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540, requests to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide buprofezin, in or on bean, succulent at 0.02 parts per million (ppm); Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B at 55 ppm; turnip, greens at 55 ppm; vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 at 3.0 ppm; fruit, citrus, group 10-10 at 2.5 ppm; fruit, pome, group 11-10 at 4.0 ppm; persimmon at 1.9 ppm; and tea at 20 ppm. This summary has been prepared by Nichino America, Inc., 4550 New Linden Hill Road, Suite 501, Wilmington, DE 91808, the registrant. The proposed analytical method involves extraction, partition, clean-up and detection of residues by gas chromatography using nitrogen phosphorous detection (GC/NPD). Contact: Andrew Ertman, (703) 308-9367, email address: ertman.andrew@epa.gov.
2. PP 1E7919. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0792). Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540, requests to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide acetamiprid, N 1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridyl)methyl]- N 2-cyano- N 1-methylacetamidine, in or on asparagus at 0.8 ppm; Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B at 15 ppm; turnip greens at 15 ppm; corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husks removed at 0.01 ppm; corn, sweet, forage at 10 ppm; corn, sweet, stover at 30 ppm; vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 at 0.20 ppm; fruit, citrus, group 10-10 at 0.50 ppm; fruit, pome, group 11-10 at 1.0 ppm; and Brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A at 1.20 ppm. Based upon the metabolism of acetamiprid in plants and the toxicology of the parent and metabolites, quantification of the parent acetamiprid is sufficient to determine toxic residues. As a result a method was developed that involves extraction of acetamiprid from crop matrices with a solvent followed by a decantation and filtration and finally analysis by a liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method.

3. PP 1E7911. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0780). Summit Agro North America Holding Corporation, 600 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10016-2001, c/o Landis International, Inc., P.O. Box 5126, Valdosta, GA 31603-5126, requests to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide triforine, piperazine-1,4-diylbis(2,2,2-trichloroethane-1,1-diyl)diformamide in or on blueberry at 0.02 ppm; and tomato at 0.5 ppm. Adequate analytical enforcement methods are available to enforce the proposed tolerances. Triforine was extracted from blueberries, tomato and tomato paste with acetone. The final samples were analyzed by LC/MS/MS for quantitation of triforine. Contact: Heather Garvie, (703) 308-0034, email address: garvie.heather@epa.gov.
4. PP 1F7891. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0717). Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC., P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, requests to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide azoxystrobin, (methyl (E)-2-[2-[6-(2-yanophenoxy) pyrimidin-4-yloxy]phenyl]-3-methoxyacrylate) and the Z- isomer of azoxystrobin, (methyl (Z)-2-[2-[6-(2- cyanophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yloxy]pheny1]-3-methoxyacrylate), in or on sugarcane at 0.2 ppm. An adequate analytical method, GC/NPD or in mobile phase by high performance liquid chromatography with ultra-violet detection (HPLC/UV), is available for enforcement purposes with a limit of detection that allows monitoring of food with residues at or above the levels set in these tolerances. Contact: Shaunta Hill, (703) 347-8961, email address: hill.shaunta@epa.gov.
5. PP 1F7892. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0772). Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC., P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, requests to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide propiconazole, 1 H-1,2,4-Triazole, 1-[[2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]methyl]-, and its metabolites determined as 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid and expressed as parent compound, in or on sugarcane at 1.0 ppm. Analytical methods adequate to determine parent propiconazole, total propiconazole as 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid, and the triazole metabolites (1,2,4-Triazole, Triazole Alanine, and Triazole Acetic Acid) are available for enforcement purposes with limits of detection that allow monitoring of food with residues at or above the levels set Start Printed Page 69692in this tolerance.

PP 1E7918. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0829). United Phosphorus, Inc., 630 Freedom Business Center, Suite 402, King of Prussia, PA 19406, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.1195 for residues of titanium dioxide (CAS No. 13463-67-7) in or on growing crops when used as a pesticide inert ingredient ultraviolet (UV) protectant in herbicide formulations at no more than 5 percent by weight of the formulation.
