II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is printing a summary of the
pesticide petitions 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 pendimethalin in or on
onion, green; leek; onion, welsh; shallot,
fresh leaves; and strawberry. EPA has
determined that the 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 the
pesticide petitions. Additional data may
be needed before EPA rules on these
pesticide petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of the petitions included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner
along with a description of the
analytical method available for the
detection and measurement of
pendimethalin 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

2. PP 5E6928 proposes to establish a
tolerance for strawberry at 0.05 ppm.
Section 408 (b)(3) of the amended
FDCA requires EPA to determine that
there is a practical method for detecting
and measuring levels of the pesticide
chemical residue in or on food and the
tolerance be set at a level at or above of
the limit of detection of the designated
method. In plants the method is
aqueous organic solvent extraction,
column clean up, and quantitation by
GC. The method has a limit of
quantitation (LOQ) of 0.05 ppm for
pendimethalin and the alcohol
metabolite.
