In plants and plant products, the residue of concern, parent clothianidin, can be determined using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with Electrospray Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry Detection (MS/MS detection). In an extraction efficiency testing, the plant residues method has also demonstrated the ability to extract aged clothianidin residue. Although the plant residues Liquid Chromatography (LC)-MS/MS method is highly suitable for enforcement method, an LCUltraviolet (UV) method has also been developed which is suitable for enforcement (monitoring) purposes in all relevant matrices.

21 U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment of regulations in 40 CFR 
part 180 for residues of the insecticide clothianidin in or on cotton, 
undelinted seed and cotton, gin byproducts. EPA has determined that 
this pesticide petition contains data or information regarding the 
elements set forth 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 petition. Additional 
data may be needed before EPA rules on this pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition, prepared by 
the petitioner along with a description of the analytical methods 
available for the detection and measurement of the pesticide chemical 
residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at https://www.epa.gov/
edocket. To locate this information, on the home page of EPA's 
Electronic Docket select ``Quick Search'' and type the OPP docket ID 
number for the pesticide petition (as specified in Unit I.B.1.) in the

New Tolerance

    PP 5F6908. Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research 
Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish a tolerance for residues 
of the insecticide clothianidin in or on raw agricultural commodities 
cotton, undelinted seed at 0.01 parts per million (ppm); and cotton, 
gin byproducts at 0.01 ppm. In plants and plant products, the residue 
of concern, parent clothianidin, can be determined using High 
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with Electrospray Mass 
Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry Detection (MS/MS detection). In an 
extraction efficiency testing, the plant residues method has also 
demonstrated the ability to extract aged clothianidin residue. Although 
the plant residues Liquid Chromatography (LC)-MS/MS method is highly 
suitable for enforcement method, an LC-Ultraviolet (UV) method has also 
been developed which is suitable for enforcement (monitoring) purposes 
in all relevant matrices.
