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 as 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 ID 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 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
[[Page 26086]]
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.
New Tolerances
1. PP 6E4788. Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), 681 US
Highway 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902, proposes to
establish a tolerance for the residues of the fungicide propiconazole
and its metabolites containing the dichlorobenzoic acid (DCBA) moiety
in or on food and feed commodities leafy vegetables (Subgroup 4B) at
5.0 parts per million (ppm); and
2. PP 7E4860. Cranberry at.1.0 ppm; and
3. PP 8E4931. Mint at.3.0 ppm.
4. PP 2F6371. Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., P.O. Box 18300,
Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, proposes to establish a tolerance for the
residues of the fungicide propiconazole and its metabolites containing
the dichlorobenzoic acid (DCBA) moiety in or on food and feed
commodities almond, hulls and onion, green at 8.0 ppm; berries (Group
13) and legume vegetables (Group 6) at 1.0 ppm; foliage of legume
vegetables (Group 7)/ sorghum/soybean, forage and sugar beet, tops at
10.0 ppm; carrot, roots/pistachios/nuts, tree (Group 14) at 0.2 ppm;
foliage of legume vegetable (Group 7)/soybean, hay at 32.0 ppm; onion,
dry bulb/corn, grain/sugar beet, roots at 0.3 ppm; sorghum, grain/grain
cereal group (except corn, rice, and sorghum), bran at 2.5 ppm;
sorghum, stover at 15.0 ppm; soybean, seed/grain, cereal group (except
corn, rice, and sorghum), hay/sugar beet, dried pulp at 2.0 ppm;
strawberry at 1.5 ppm; grain, cereal group (except corn, rice, and
sorghum) (Group 15), forage/sugar beet, molasses at 3.0 ppm; grain,
cereal group (except corn, rice, and sorghum), straw at 13.0 ppm;
grain, cereal group (except corn, rice, and sorghum)/corn, oil at 0.5
ppm; corn, forage at 4.0 ppm; corn, stover at 25.0 ppm; rice, bran and
hulls at 28.0 ppm; rice, grain at 7.0 ppm; rice, straw at 18.0 ppm; and
aspirated grain fraction at 17.0 ppm; and
5. PP 5F4498. Alfalfa, forage and hay at 0.1 ppm.
Analytical method AG-454A was developed for the determination of
residues of propiconazole and its metabolites containing the
dichlorobenzoic acid (DCBA) moiety. This method has been accepted and
published by EPA as the tolerance enforcement method for crops. The
limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the method is 0.05 ppm.
