IV. What is the Agency’s Authority for
Taking this Action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that
a registrant of a pesticide product may
at any time request that any of its
pesticide registrations be canceled or
amended to terminate one or more uses.
FIFRA further provides that, before
acting on the request, EPA must publish
a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period,
the Administrator may approve such a
request.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:58 Apr 25, 2006
Jkt 208001
INFORMATION CONTACT,
postmarked
before May 26, 2006. This written
withdrawal of the request for
cancellation will apply only to the
applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request
listed in this notice. If the products have
been subject to a previous cancellation
action, the effective date of cancellation
and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products which are
currently in the United States and
which were packaged, labeled, and
released for shipment prior to the
effective date of the cancellation action.
If the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination is
granted as discussed above, the Agency
intends to issue a cancellation order that
will allow persons other than the
registrant to continue to sell and/or use
existing stocks of cancelled products
until such stocks are exhausted,
provided that such use is consistent
with the terms of the previously
approved labeling on, or that
accompanied, the cancelled product.
The order will specifically prohibit any
use of existing stocks that is not
consistent with such previously
approved labeling. If, as the Agency
currently intends, the final cancellation
order contains the existing stocks
provision just described, the order will
be sent only to the affected registrants
of the cancelled products. If the Agency
determines that the final cancellation
order should contain existing stocks
provisions different than the ones just
described, the Agency will publish the
cancellation order in the Federal
Register.

(PP) 5F7009. Bayer CropScience, P.O.
Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive,
Research Triangle Park, NC 27709,
proposes to establish a tolerance for
residues of the herbicide AE 0172747 (2[(2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)-3-[2,2,2trifluoroethoxy)methyl]benzoyl]-1,3cyclohexanedione), and its metabolite
AE 1417268 (2-[2-chloro-4(methylsulfonyl)-3-[(2,2,2trifluoroethoxy)methyl]benzoyl]-4,6dihydroxy-1,3-cyclohexanedione) in or
on food commodities field corn, grain at
0.02 parts per million (ppm); field corn,
forage and stover at 0.5 ppm; sweet corn
(K+CWHR) at 0.03 ppm; sweet corn,
forage and stover at 1.0 ppm; popcorn,
grain at 0.01 ppm; and popcorn, stover
at 0.25 ppm. Tolerances are also
proposed for AE 1417268 (2-[2-chloro-4(methylsulfonyl)-3-[(2,2,2trifluoroethoxy) methyl]benzoyl]-4,6dihydroxy-1,3-cyclohexanedione) in or
on food commodities cattle, goat, hog
liver; and sheep and horse meat byproducts at 0.5 ppm; and cattle, goat,
hog, sheep; and horse kidney at 0.07
ppm.
Independently validated analytical
methods suitable for enforcement
purposes for plants, plant products, and
animal matrices have been submitted for
measuring AE 0172747 and all its
significant metabolites. Typically,
residues are extracted from plant or
animal using accelerated solvent
extraction. Following concentration,
quantitation is by liquid
chromatography/mass spectrometry/
mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) using
deuterated internal standards.
Metabolite AE 1392936 requires
additional clean-up by anion exchange,
solid phase extraction prior to
quantitation. AE 1417268 in ruminant
samples requires a hexane wash prior to
quantitation.

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

New Tolerance
(PP) 5F7009. Bayer CropScience, P.O. Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander
Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish a
tolerance for residues of the herbicide AE 0172747 (2-[(2-chloro-4-
(methylsulfonyl)-3-[2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl]benzoyl]-1,3-
cyclohexanedione), and its metabolite AE 1417268 (2-[2-chloro-4-
(methylsulfonyl)-3-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl]benzoyl]-4,6-
dihydroxy-1,3-cyclohexanedione) in or on food commodities field corn,
grain at 0.02 parts per million (ppm); field corn, forage and stover at
0.5 ppm; sweet corn (K+CWHR) at 0.03 ppm; sweet corn, forage and stover
at 1.0 ppm; popcorn, grain at 0.01 ppm; and popcorn, stover at 0.25
ppm. Tolerances are also proposed for AE 1417268 (2-[2-chloro-4-
(methylsulfonyl)-3-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) methyl]benzoyl]-4,6-
dihydroxy-1,3-cyclohexanedione) in or on food commodities cattle, goat,
hog liver; and sheep and horse meat by-products at 0.5 ppm; and cattle,
goat, hog, sheep; and horse kidney at 0.07 ppm.
Independently validated analytical methods suitable for enforcement
purposes for plants, plant products, and animal matrices have been
submitted for measuring AE 0172747 and all its significant metabolites.
Typically, residues are extracted from plant or animal using
accelerated solvent extraction. Following concentration, quantitation
is by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/ mass spectrometry (LC/
MS/MS) using deuterated internal standards. Metabolite AE 1392936
requires additional clean-up by anion exchange, solid phase extraction
prior to quantitation. AE 1417268 in ruminant samples requires a hexane
wash prior to quantitation.
