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 PP 0F6076. Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Nissan), 7-1, 3-Chome, VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:40 Aug 01, 2006 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.
