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
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.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is printing a summary of each
pesticide petition received under
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
these pesticide petitions contain 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 these pesticide petitions.
Additional data may be needed before
EPA rules on these pesticide petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of each 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.
New Tolerances
PPs 4E6878 and 5E6987. Interregional
Research Project Number 4 (IR–4), 681
U.S. Highway #1 South, North
Brunswick, NJ 08902–3390, proposes to
establish tolerances for residues of the
herbicide glyphosate [(Nphosphonomethyl) glycine] sunflower
and safflower at 25.0 parts per million
(ppm) (PP 4E6878); vegetable, legume,
group 6, except soybean at 8.0 ppm (PP
5E6987); and mulberry, Indian at 0.2
ppm (PP 5E6987). IR–4 further proposes
to delete the present entire entries for
sunflower, seed at 0.1 ppm; safflower,
seed at 0.1 ppm; and vegetable, legume,
group 6, except soybean at 6.0, as these
tolerances are no longer needed.
Adequate enforcement methods are
available for analysis of residues of
glyphosate in or on plant and livestock
commodities. These methods include
GLC (Method I in Pesticides Analytical
Manual (PAM) II; the limit of detection
is 0.05 ppm) and HPLC with
fluorometric detection. Use of the GLC
method is discouraged due to the
lengthiness of the experimental
procedure. The HPLC procedure has
undergone successful Agency validation
and was recommended for inclusion in
PAM II. A GC/MS method for
glyphosate in crops has also been
validated by EPA’s Analytical
Chemistry Laboratory (ACL). Thus,
adequate analytical methods are
available for residue data collection and
enforcement of the proposed tolerance
changes for glyphosate.

chemicals. This status report, which
covers the period from February 27,
2006 to March 10, 2006, consists of the
PMNs and TMEs, both pending or
expired, and the notices of
commencement to manufacture a new

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2006-0269; FRL-7771-2]
Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from February 27, 2006 to March 10, 2006, consists of the PMNs
and TMEs, both pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to
manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA
section 5 during this time period.
DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before April 28, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by docket identification

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitter of the premanufacture notices
addressed in the action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
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 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 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 the estimate.
vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggested 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.
