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 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 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 Exemption from Tolerance
PP 6E7062. The Shepherd Chemical
Company, 4900 Beech St., Norwood, OH
45212, proposes to establish an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of the inert
ingredient ferric citrate (CAS No. 2338–
05–8), in or on food commodities when
used as an inert ingredient in pesticide
products. Because this petition is a
request for an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance without
numerical limitations, no analytical
method is required.

II. Background
Under FIFRA section 18, EPA can
authorize the use of a pesticide when
emergency conditions exist.
Authorizations (commonly called
emergency exemptions) are granted to
State and Federal agencies and are of
four types:
1. A ‘‘specific exemption’’ authorizes
use of a pesticide against specific pests
on a limited acreage in a particular
State. Most emergency exemptions are
specific exemptions.
2. ‘‘Quarantine’’ and ‘‘public health’’
exemptions are a particular form of
specific exemption issued for
quarantine or public health purposes.
These are rarely requested.
3. A ‘‘crisis exemption’’ is initiated by
a State or Federal agency (and is
confirmed by EPA) when there is
insufficient time to request and obtain
EPA permission for use of a pesticide in
an emergency.
EPA may deny an emergency
exemption: If the State or Federal
agency cannot demonstrate that an
emergency exists, if the use poses
unacceptable risks to the environment,
or if EPA cannot reach a conclusion that
the proposed pesticide use is likely to
result in ‘‘a reasonable certainty of no
harm’’ to human health, including
exposure of residues of the pesticide to
infants and children.
If the emergency use of the pesticide
on a food or feed commodity would
E:\FR\FM\07JNN1.SGM
07JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 109 / Wednesday, June 7, 2006 / Notices
result in pesticide chemical residues,
EPA establishes a time-limited tolerance
meeting the ‘‘reasonable certainty of no
harm standard’’ of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
In this document: EPA identifies the
State or Federal agency granted the
exemption or denial, the type of
exemption, the pesticide authorized and
the pests, the crop or use for which
authorized, number of acres (if
applicable), and the duration of the
exemption. EPA also gives the Federal
Register citation for the time-limited
tolerance, if any.

II. Background
Under FIFRA section 18, EPA can authorize the use of a pesticide
when emergency conditions exist. Authorizations (commonly called
emergency exemptions) are granted to State and Federal agencies and are
of four types:
1. A ``specific exemption'' authorizes use of a pesticide against
specific pests on a limited acreage in a particular State. Most
emergency exemptions are specific exemptions.
2. ``Quarantine'' and ``public health'' exemptions are a particular
form of specific exemption issued for quarantine or public health
purposes. These are rarely requested.
3. A ``crisis exemption'' is initiated by a State or Federal agency
(and is confirmed by EPA) when there is insufficient time to request
and obtain EPA permission for use of a pesticide in an emergency.
EPA may deny an emergency exemption: If the State or Federal agency
cannot demonstrate that an emergency exists, if the use poses
unacceptable risks to the environment, or if EPA cannot reach a
conclusion that the proposed pesticide use is likely to result in ``a
reasonable certainty of no harm'' to human health, including exposure
of residues of the pesticide to infants and children.
If the emergency use of the pesticide on a food or feed commodity
would
[[Page 32957]]
result in pesticide chemical residues, EPA establishes a time-limited
tolerance meeting the ``reasonable certainty of no harm standard'' of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
In this document: EPA identifies the State or Federal agency
granted the exemption or denial, the type of exemption, the pesticide
authorized and the pests, the crop or use for which authorized, number
of acres (if applicable), and the duration of the exemption. EPA also
gives the Federal Register citation for the time-limited tolerance, if
any.
