EPA is printing a summary of a pesticide petition received under
[[Page 2929]]
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or amendment of regulations in
40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various
food commodities. 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 included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner along with a description of the
analytical method available for the detection and measurement of the
pesticide chemical residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at
https://www.regulations.gov/. To locate this information on the home
page of EPA's Electronic Docket, select ``Quick Search'' and type the
OPP docket ID number. Once the search has located the docket, clicking
on the ``Docket ID'' will bring up a list of all documents in the
docket for the pesticide including the petition summary.
Amendment to Existing Tolerance
PP 4E6834. IR-4, 681 U.S. Highway 1 South, North
Brunswick, NJ 08902, proposes to amend 40 CFR 180.598 by establishing
tolerances for residues of the insecticide novaluron (1-[3-chloro-4-
(1,1,2-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethoxyethoxy)phenyl]-3-[2,6-
difluorobenzoyl]urea) in or on the food commodities Brassica
vegetables, head and stem (Subgroup 5A)at 0.5 parts per million (ppm).
Makhteshim-Agan of North America, Inc., 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1100,
New York, NY 10176 is the manufacturer and basic registrant of
novaluron. Makhteshim-Agan of North America, Inc. prepared and
summarized the information in support of this pesticide petition for
novaluron. An adequate analytical method, gas chromatography/electron
capture detector (GC/ECD), is available for enforcing tolerances of
novaluron residues in or on head and stem Brassica vegetables, as
recently published in the Federal Register of June 2, 2004 (69 FR
31013; FRL-7359-2). The limit of quantitation (LOQ = 0.05 ppm) was
taken as the lowest level validated by this method.
