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 data or information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(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.

Contact: RD.
PP IN-11245. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0129). Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of ethylenebis(oxyethylene) bis[3-(5-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-m-tolyl) propionate (CAS No. 36443-68-2) when used as a pesticide inert ingredient (stabilizer) in pesticide formulations under 40 CFR 180.910. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because it is not required for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. Contact: RD.
1. PP 8F8697. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0266). AgBiTech Pty Ltd., 8 Rocla Ct., Glenvale, Queensland 4350, Australia (c/o V.A. Forster Consulting, Inc., P.O. Box 4097, Wilmington, DE 19807), requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide Autographa californica MNPV strain R3 in or on all food commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because the petition requests an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. Further, it is expected that, when used as proposed, Autographa californica MNPV strain R3 would not result in residues that are of toxicological concern. Contact: BPPD.
2. PP 8F8726. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0183). Bi-PA nv, Technologielaan 7, B-1840 Londerzeel, Belgium (c/o SciReg, Inc., 12733 Director's Loop, Woodbridge, VA 22192), requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 in or on all food commodities. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because of its request for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Trichoderma atroviride Start Printed Page 26632strain SC1; therefore, the requirement to provide an analytical method for the detection of residues of Trichoderma atroviride strain SC1 in agricultural commodities or processed food is not applicable. Contact: BPPD.
1. PP 4F8338. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0599).
