1. PP 0E7704. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0311). Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 681 US Highway #1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide thiacloprid ([3-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-2-thiazolidinylidene] cyanamide), in or on fruit, stone, group 12 at 0.5 parts per million (ppm). The analytical method for determining residues in stone fruit and peppers is specific for thiacloprid and metabolites containing the intact thiazolidine ring and utilizes high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)-detection. Thiacloprid and its metabolites are stable in peppers and stone fruit commodities for at least 10 months when the commodities are frozen.

3. PP 0E7702. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0272). Clariant Corporation, 625 E. Catawba Ave, Mt. Holly, NC 28120, proposes to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16-alkyl esters, telomers with 1-dodecanethiol, polyethylene-polypropylene glycol ether with propylene glycol monomethacrylate (1:1), and styrene 2,2 -(1,2-diazenediyl)bis[2-methylbutanenitrile]-initiated (CAS Reg. No. 950207-35-9) under 40 CFR 180.960 when used as a pesticide inert ingredient in pesticide formulations. Clariant Corporation, is petitioning that 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, C12-16-alkyl esters, telomers with 1-dodecanethiol, polyethylene-polypropylene glycol ether with propylene glycol monomethacrylate (1:1), and styrene, 2,2'-(1,2-diazenediyl)bis[2-methylbutanenitrile]-initiated be exempt from the requirement of a tolerance based upon the definition of a low-risk polymer under 40 CFR 723.250. Therefore, an analytical method to determine residues on treated crops is not relevant. Contact: Elizabeth Fertich, (703) 347-8560, e-mail address: fertich.elizabeth@epa.gov.
4. PP 9E7538. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0066). Croda Inc., 315 Cherry Lane, New Castle, DE 19720, proposes to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of alkoxylated glycerides used to formulate pesticides applied to growing crops or to raw commodities after harvest. Croda Inc., is petitioning that alkoxylated glycerides be exempt from the requirement of a tolerance based upon their compliance with the low risk polymer criteria per 40 CFR 723.250. Therefore, an analytical method to determine residues in raw agricultural commodities has not been proposed. No residue chemistry data or environmental fate data are presented in the petition as the Agency does not generally require some or all of the listed studies to rule on the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for a low risk polymer inert ingredient.
