and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C.
346a, proposing the establishment or
amendment of regulations in 40 CFR

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

containing the 2-cyclohexen-1-one
moiety in or on the following food
commodities:
1. PP 4E6885 proposes to establish
tolerances for buckwheat, grain at 20
parts per million (ppm); and buckwheat,
flour at 20 ppm; borage; seed at 5.0
ppm; borage, meal at 40 ppm; and
borage, oil at 40 ppm; dill, fresh leaves

2. PP 0E6204 proposes to establish a
tolerance for turnip tops at 5.0 ppm.
Analytical methods for detecting
levels of sethoxydim and its metabolites
in or on food with a limit of detection
that allows monitoring of food with
residues at or above the level in these
tolerances were submitted to EPA. The
proposed analytical method involves
extraction, partition, and clean-up.
Samples are then analyzed by gas
chromatography with sulfur-specific
flame photometric detection. The limit
of quantitation is 0.05 ppm.

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), summaries of the petitions included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner along with descriptions of the
analytical methods available for the detection and measurement of the
pesticide chemical residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at

New Tolerance
PP 4E6885 and 0E6204. Interregional Project Number 4, 681 Highway 1
South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390, proposes to establish tolerances
for residues of the herbicide sethoxydim (2-[1-(ethoxyimino)butyl]-5-
[2-(ethylthio)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-cyclohexen-1-one) and its metabolites
containing the 2-cyclohexen-1-one moiety in or on the following food
commodities:
1. PP 4E6885 proposes to establish tolerances for buckwheat, grain
at 20 parts per million (ppm); and buckwheat, flour at 20 ppm; borage;
seed at 5.0 ppm; borage, meal at 40 ppm; and borage, oil at 40 ppm;
dill, fresh leaves at 10 ppm, and dill, dried leaves at 10 ppm; and
okra at 4.0 ppm; vegetable
[[Page 38156]]
root, except sugar beet, group 1B at 4.0 ppm; and radish tops at 5.0
ppm.
2. PP 0E6204 proposes to establish a tolerance for turnip tops at
5.0 ppm.
Analytical methods for detecting levels of sethoxydim and its
metabolites in or on food with a limit of detection that allows
monitoring of food with residues at or above the level in these
tolerances were submitted to EPA. The proposed analytical method
involves extraction, partition, and clean-up. Samples are then analyzed
by gas chromatography with sulfur-specific flame photometric detection.
The limit of quantitation is 0.05 ppm.
