vi. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns and suggest
alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as
possible, avoiding the use of profanity

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 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 Tolerance

Jkt 208001
Kanda-Nishiki-Cho Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo,
101-0054 Japan, proposes to establish a
tolerance for residues of the herbicide
quizalofop-P-ethyl in or on barley, flax
(seed), and wheat at 0.05 parts per
million (ppm); and sunflower (seed) at
2.0 ppm. The analytical method used to
collect sunflower and flax field and
processing data involves refluxing
samples with methanolic potassium
hydroxide to convert quizalofop-P-ethyl
and quizalofop-P residues to 2-methoxy6-chloroquinoxaline (MeCHQ). The
solution is then acidified and
partitioned with hexane to extract the
MeCHQ. The hexane fraction is cleaned
up by gel permeation chromatography.
The appropriate fraction is collected,
concentrated and made up to final
volume with hexane. Residues are
quantified using normal phase high
pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)
with fluorescence detection. The limit
of quantitation of the method is 0.05
ppm. The analytical method used to
collect wheat and barley field and
processing data is similar to the method
used for flax and sunflower, but has a
few modifications. The modified
method requires a silica solid phase
extraction (SPE) purification for wheat
and barley hay and straw matrices prior
to gel permeation chromatography
(GPC) cleanup. The determination and
quantitation of the MeCHQ is conducted
using reverse-phase HPLC with the
fluorescence detection. The limit of
quantitation of the method is still 0.05
ppm.
