B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have a typical or disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
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 that
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.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this notice, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available on-line at http://www.regulations.gov.
As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)),
EPA is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained
through the petition summary referenced in this unit.
New Tolerances
1. PP 9E7591. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-713). Interregional Research
Project Number 4 (IR-4), IR-4 Project, 500 College Rd. East, Suite
201W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR
part 180 for the combined residues of the fungicide mefenoxam, ( R )-
and ( S )-2-[(2,6-dimethyl(phenyl)-methoxyacetylamine]-propionic acid
methyl ester, and its metabolites containing the 2,6 dimethylaniline
moiety, and N -(2-hydroxy methyl-6-methylphenyl)- N -(methoxyacetyl)-
alanine methyl ester in or on bean, snap, succulent at 0.35 parts per
million (ppm); caneberry, subgroup 13-07A at 0.80 ppm; bushberry,
subgroup 13-07B at 2.0 ppm; onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A at 3.0 ppm;
onion, green, subgroup 3-07B at 10.0 ppm, and spinach at 8.0 ppm. Snap
bean and caneberry samples were analyzed for mefenoxam (parent only)
using a procedure derived from ``Confirmatory Analytical Method for the
Enantioselective Determination of Residues of Parent Metalaxyl (CGA-
48988) or Mefenoxam (CGA-329351) in Crop Substrates by Chiral High
Performance Liquid Chromatography with Mass Spectrometric Detection''
(Novartis Crop Protection, Inc., Procedure 456-98, March, 1999). Minor
modifications were made to improve the performance of the method. The
limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the method is 0.028 ppm for snap beans
and 0.059 for caneberries. Selected samples from the snap bean and
caneberry trials were also analyzed with the combined residue method
that converts everything to N-(2,6-dimethylpheny1)-
N(methoxyacetyl)alanine methyl ester. This served as a bridging study
for the other samples that were only analyzed for parent.
The common moiety method was also used for the spinach trials. The
analytical method used was Ciba-Geigy Corporation Procedure AG-395,
``Improved Method for the Determination of Total Residues of Metalaxyl
in Crop as 2,6-dimethylaniline,'' December 1982. This total residue
method is used for the determination of the combined residues of
metalaxyl N-(2,6-dimethylpheny1)-N-(methoxyacetyl)alanine methyl ester
and its metabolites which contain the 2,6-dimethylaniline (2, 6-DMA)
moiety in crop samples. Contact: Laura Nollen, (703) 305-7390;
[email protected].
2. PP 9E7594. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0644). Interregional Research
Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Rd. East, Suite 201W, Princeton,
NJ 08540, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for
residues of the insecticide fenpropathrin, alpha-cyano-3-phenoxy-benzyl
2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylate in or on guava, acerola,
feijoa, jaboticaba, passionfruit, starfruit and wax jambu at 1.5 ppm;
lychee, longan, Spanish lime, pulasan and rambutan at 3.0 ppm; sugar
apple, atemoya, biriba, cherimoya, custard apple, ilama, and soursop at
1.0 ppm; and tea at 2.0 ppm. Adequate analytical methodology is
available to detect and quantify fenpropathrin at residue levels in
numerous matrices. The methods use solvent extraction and partition
and/or column chromatography clean-up steps, followed by separation and
quantitation using capillary gas liquid chromatography (GLC) with flame
ionization detector (FID). The extraction efficiency has been validated
using radiocarbon samples from the plant and animal metabolism studies.
The
[[Page 51599]]
enforcement methods have been validated at independent laboratories and
by EPA. The limit of quantification (LOQ) for fenpropathrin in raw
agricultural commodity samples is usually 0.01 ppm. Contact: Laura
Nollen, (703) 305-7390; [email protected].
3. PP 8F7371. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0732). BASF Corporation, 26 Davis
Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish a
tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide metrafenone
in or on grapes, fruit at 4.5 ppm; grapes, juice at 0.45 ppm; and
grapes, raisin at 17 ppm. BASF analytical methods No. FAMS 105-01 ``CL
375839: Analytical method for the determination of the active
ingredient in grapes,'' and No. FAMS 106-01 ``CL 4375839: Analytical
method for the determination of the active ingredient in must and
wine,'' were developed to determine residues of metrafenone in grapes
and wine, respectively. Quantitative determination of metrafenone is
carried out by capillary gas chromatography with an electron capture
detector (GC/ECD). An independent laboratory validation demonstrated
good performance of these methods. Contact: Tony Kish, (703) 308-9443;
[email protected].
4. PP 9F7528. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0672). BASF Corporation, P.O. Box
13528, Research Triangle Park, NC, 27709, proposes to establish a
tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide
pyraclostrobin, carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester and its metabolite methyl-
N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl) pyrazol-3-yl]oxy]o-tolyl] carbamate (BF 500-3);
expressed as parent compound, in or on alfalfa, forage at 9 ppm and
alfalfa, hay at 27 ppm. In plants the method of analysis is aqueous
organic solvent extraction, column clean-up and quantitation by liquid
chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). In
animals the method of analysis involves base hydrolysis, organic
extraction, column clean-up and quantitation by LC/MS/MS or
derivatization (methylation) followed by quantitation by gas
chromatography/MS (GC/MS). Contact: John Bazuin, (703) 305-7381;
[email protected].

chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS)
detection is available for enforcement purposes. Contact: John Bazuin,
(703) 305-7381; [email protected].
6. PP 9F7602. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0682). Bayer CropScience, P.O. Box
12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes
to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the
insecticide spiromesifen; 2-oxo-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-
oxaspiro(4,4)non-3-en-4-yl 3,3-dimethylbutanoate and its enol
metabolite; 4-hydroxy-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1-oxaspiro[4,4]non-3-
en-2-one, calculated as parent compound equivalents in or on vegetable,
leafy petiole, crop group 4B at 6.0 ppm. Adequate analytical
methodology using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass
spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) detection is available for enforcement
purposes. Contact: Jennifer Gaines, (703) 305-5967;
[email protected].
Amended Tolerances
1. PP 9E7591. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0713). Interregional Research
Project Number 4 (IR-4), IR-4 Project, 500 College Rd. East, Suite
201W, Princeton, NJ 08540, proposes to remove the tolerance in 40 CFR
180.546 for the combined residues of the fungicide mefenoxam, ( R )-
and ( S )-2-[(2,6-dimethyl(phenyl)-methoxyacetylamine]-propionic acid
methyl ester, and its metabolites containing the 2,6 dimethylaniline
moiety, and N -(2-hydroxy methyl-6-methylphenyl)- N -(methoxyacetyl)-
alanine methyl ester in or on lingonberry at 2.0 ppm. Contact: Laura
Nollen, (703) 305-7390; [email protected].
2. PP 9E7592. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0714). Arysta LifeScience North
America, LLC, 15401 Weston Parkway, Cary, NC 27513, proposes to amend
the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.560 by establishing a tolerance for the
combined residues of cloquintocet-mexyl, (acetic acid, [(5-chloro-8-
quinolinyl)oxy-,1-methylhexyl ester) (CAS Reg. No. 99607-70-2) and its
acid metabolite (5-chloro-8-quinolinoxyacetic acid, also known as CGA-
153433) when used as a pesticide inert ingredient (safener) in
pesticide formulations containing the herbicide flucarbazone-sodium
(wheat only), pinoxaden (wheat or barley), clodinafop-propargyl (wheat
only), or pyroxsulum (wheat only) in or on barley, grain at 0.10 ppm;
barley, hay at 0.10 ppm; barley, straw at 0.10 ppm; wheat, grain at
0.10 ppm; wheat, forage at 0.2 ppm; wheat, hay at 0.50 ppm; and wheat,
straw at 0.10 ppm. The analytical methodology for detecting and
measuring combined levels of cloquintocet-mexyl and its acid metabolite
5-chloro-8-quinolinoxylacetic acid has been submitted to the Agency.
The method is based upon acid hydrolysis extraction, which converts the
parent and all conjugates to the acid metabolite. The acid metabolite
is subject to commodity specific clean-up procedures and high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination with triple
stage quadruple mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The limit of quantitation
(LOQ), as demonstrated by the lowest acceptable recovery samples, is
0.01 ppm for grain and 0.02 ppm for forage, hay and straw. Contact:
Karen Samek, (703) 347-8825; [email protected].
New Tolerance Exemptions
