1. PP 1E7923. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0860). Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), IR-4 Project Headquarters, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08450, requests to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide clothianidin, (E)-1-(2-chloro-1,3-thiazol-5-ylmethyl)-3-methyl-2-nitroguanidine, in or on strawberry at 1.4 parts per million (ppm); citrus fruit group 10-10 at 0.5 ppm; citrus, dried pulp at 1 ppm; pistachio at 0.01 ppm; and tea, plucked leaves at 50 ppm. Adequate enforcement methodology (liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy/mass spectroscopy) (LC/MS/MS) analysis is available to enforce the tolerance expression.

2. PP 1E7925. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0905). 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 etofenprox, [2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropyl 3-phenoxybenzyl ether], in or on food and Start Printed Page 76676feed commodities at 0.5 ppm. An aliquot was purified by solid phase extraction (graphitized carbon black for alfalfa, snap bean pods with seed, and leaf lettuce and HAX solid phase extraction for pasture grass and snap bean foliage). The purified extract was concentrated to dryness, reconstituted in acetonitrile:water, and submitted to LC/MS/MS analysis.

3. PP 1E7929. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0906). 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 fungicide cyazofamid, 4-chloro-2-cyano-N,N-dimethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1 H-imidazole-1-sulfonamide (CA) and its metabolite CCIM, 4-chloro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1 H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile (CA), expressed as cyazofamid, in or on bean, succulent at 0.4 ppm; bean, succulent, shelled at 0.07 ppm; leafy greens, subgroup 4A at 9.0 ppm; basil, fresh leaves at 30.0 ppm; basil, dried leaves at 80.0 ppm; vegetable, tuberous and corm, subgroup 1C at 0.02 ppm; and vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 at 0.40 ppm. LC/MS/MS is used to measure and evaluate the residues of cyazofamid. Contact: Laura Nollen, (703) 305-7390, email address: nollen.laura@epa.gov.
4. PP 1F7916. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0781). Canyon Group LLC, c/o Gowan Company, 370 South Main St., Yuma, AZ 85364, requests to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the herbicide halosulfuron-methyl, methyl 5-[(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)amino]carbonylaminosul-fonyl]-3-chloro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate, and its metabolites and degradates, in or on millet, proso, forage at 7.0 ppm; millet, proso, hay at 0.02 ppm; millet, proso, grain at 0.01 ppm; millet, proso, straw at 0.01 ppm; grass forage, fodder, and hay, crop group 17, forage at 17.0 ppm; and grass forage, fodder, and hay, crop group 17, hay at 0.9 ppm. A practical analytical method, gas chromatography with a nitrogen-specific detector (GC-NSD), is available for enforcement purposes. The analytical method accounts for parent halosulfuron-methyl and for the halosulfuron-methyl rearrangement ester, sometimes referred to as “RRE” and “MON 5781.” This product results from the abstraction for the SO2NHCO moiety between the rings, such that the two rings are then joined together only by an NH group.

5. PP 1F7927. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0873). FMC Corporation, 1735 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19103, requests to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the herbicide, fluthiacet-methyl, acetic acid [[2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[(tetrahydro-3-oxo-1 H, 3 H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,4-α]pyridazin-1-ylidene)amino]phenyl] thio]-methyl ester, and its acid metabolite fluthiacet, [[2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[(tetrahydro-3-oxo-1 H, 3 H-[1,3,4]thiadiazolo[3,4-α]pyridazin-1-ylidene)amino]phenyl]thio]], in or on the raw agricultural commodities of crop group 15 (except rice): grain, cereal at 0.01 ppm; grain, cereal, forage at 0.05 ppm; grain, cereal, hay at 0.05 ppm; grain, cereal, stover at 0.05 ppm; grain, cereal, straw at 0.05 ppm; and crop subgroup 6C: pea and bean (except soybean), dried shelled at 0.01 ppm. The analytical enforcement method for fluthiacet-methyl was used with minor modification. The analytical method for all crop matrices consisted of solvent extraction using a high speed mixer, followed by centrifugation. An aliquot of the resulting supernatant was filtered and diluted as necessary for quantitation by high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (HPLC/MS/MS).

6. PP 8F7463. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0364). Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, requests to establish tolerances in 40 CFR part 180 for indirect or inadvertent residues of the fungicide fluopyram, (N-[2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethyl]-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide), in or on alfalfa, forage at 0.25 ppm; alfalfa, hay at 0.80 ppm; rapeseed (canola seed) at 5.0 ppm; corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husk removed at 0.10 ppm; cotton, gin byproducts at 0.05 ppm; cotton, undelinted seed at 0.10 ppm; grain, cereal, forage, fodder and straw, group 16, except rice; forage at 8.0 ppm; grain, cereal, forage, fodder and straw, group 16, except rice; hay, straw and stover at 14 ppm; grain, cereal, forage, fodder and straw, group 16, except rice; aspirated fractions at 50 ppm; grain, cereal, group 15, except rice and sweet corn at 3.0 ppm; soybean, aspirated fractions at 70 ppm; soybean, forage at 8.0 ppm; soybean, hay at 30 ppm; soybean, hulls at 0.40 ppm; and soybean, seed at 0.30 ppm. Fluopyram was determined to be the only analyte required for analysis based on the metabolic profile in plants, the short pre-harvest intervals analyzed, and results from preliminary residues trials in Europe. The analytical method involves, solvent extraction, filtration, and addition of an isotopically labeled internal standard followed by solid phase extraction. Quantitation is by high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization/tandem mass spectrometry. Contact: Lisa Jones, (703) 308-9424, email address: jones.lisa@epa.gov.
PP 1E7929. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0906). Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540, requests to remove, upon approval of the aforementioned tolerances in paragraph 3. under “New Tolerances,” the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.601 for residues of the fungicide cyazofamid, 4-chloro-2-cyano-N,N-dimethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1 H-imidazole-1-sulfonamide (CA) and its metabolite CCIM, 4-chloro-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1 H-imidazole-2-carbonitrile (CA), expressed as cyazofamid, in or on spinach at 9.0 ppm; potato at 0.02 ppm; vegetable, fruiting, group 8 at 0.40 ppm; and okra at 0.40 ppm. These tolerances are being proposed to be removed, as they will be superseded by inclusion in crop group or subgroup tolerances in paragraph 3. under “New Tolerances.” Contact: Laura Nollen, (703) 305-7390, email address: nollen.laura@epa.gov.
PP 1E7877. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0934). Dow Corning Corporation, 2200 W. Salzburg Road, Midland, MI 48640, requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of silicic acid, sodium salt, reaction products with chlorotrimethylsilane and isopropyl alcohol, reaction with poly(oxypropylene)-poly(oxyethylene) glycol, in or on the raw agricultural commodity under 40 CFR 180.960, as a component of seed coatings that provide non-sticking when the seeds are in the planter machines, and also control water permeation to slow germination of the seeds at 1,000 ppm. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because no analytical method is generally required for the establishment of a tolerance exemption. Contact: Alganesh Debesai, (703) 308-8353, email address: debesai.alganesh@epa.gov.
PP 0F7758. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0950). Lonza, Inc., 90 Boroline Road, Allendale, NJ 07401, requests to amend an existing exemption from the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR Start Printed Page 76677180.940(a) for residues of didecyl dimethyl ammonium carbonate and didecyl ammonium bicarbonate (hereinafter cited jointly as DDACB), in or on food-contact surfaces when applied/used in public eating places, dairy processing equipment, and/or food processing equipment, and utensils at 400 ppm. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because the subject quaternary ammonium compounds are exempt from the requirements of a tolerance.
