II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is printing a summary of a
pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C.
346a, proposing the establishment of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for
residues of pesticide chemicals in or on
various 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.

New Tolerance
PP 3E6775. Interregional Research
Project No. 4 (IR-4), 681 Highway 1
South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902,
proposes to establish a tolerance for the
combined residues of the herbicide
fluroxypyr MHE and its metabolite
fluroxypyr (expressed as total
fluroxypyr) in or on food commodities
garlic and shallot (bulb), and onion (dry
bulb) at 0.03 parts per million (ppm).
Dow AgroSciences, 9330 Zionsville
Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268 is the
manufacturer and basic registrant of
fluroxypyr. An adequate enforcement
method for the combined residues of
total fluroxypyr is available to enforce
the tolerance expression in or on food.
The analytical method uses capillary gas
chromatography and mass spectrometry
detector (GC-MSD) with limits of
quantitation (LOQ) of 0.01 ppm.
Fluroxypyr has also been tested through
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), Multi-residue Methodology,
Protocols C, D, and E. The results have
been published in the FDA Pesticide
Analytical Manual (PAM), Volume 1.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is printing a summary of a pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment of regulations in 40 CFR part
180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various 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

New Tolerance
PP 3E6775. Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), 681 Highway
1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902, proposes to establish a tolerance
for the combined residues of the herbicide fluroxypyr MHE and its
metabolite fluroxypyr (expressed as total fluroxypyr) in or on food
commodities garlic and shallot (bulb), and onion (dry bulb) at 0.03
parts per million (ppm). Dow AgroSciences, 9330 Zionsville Road,
Indianapolis, IN 46268 is the manufacturer and basic registrant of
fluroxypyr. An adequate enforcement method for the combined residues of
total fluroxypyr is available to enforce the tolerance expression in or
on food. The analytical method uses capillary gas chromatography and
mass spectrometry detector (GC-MSD) with limits of quantitation (LOQ)
of 0.01 ppm. Fluroxypyr has also been tested through the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), Multi-residue Methodology, Protocols C, D, and E.
The results have been published in the FDA Pesticide Analytical Manual
(PAM), Volume 1.
