Background sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES A. What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards. EPA has completed a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide propiconazole under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. Propiconazole is used as a conventional fungicide on agricultural crops, ornamentals, and turf and is used as an antimicrobial material preservative and wood preservative. EPA has determined that the database to support reregistration is substantially complete and that currently registered products containing propiconazole are eligible for reregistration, provided the risks are mitigated either in the manner described in the RED or by another means that achieves equivalent risk reduction. Upon submission of any required product-specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) and any necessary changes to the registration and labeling (either to address concerns identified in the RED or as a result of productspecific data), EPA will make a final reregistration decision under section 4(g)(2)(C) for products containing propiconazole. EPA must review tolerances and tolerance exemptions that were in effect when the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) was enacted in August 1996, to ensure that these existing pesticide residue limits for food and feed commodities meet the safety standard established by the new law. Tolerances are considered reassessed once the safety finding has been made or a revocation occurs. EPA has reviewed and made the requisite safety finding for the propiconazole tolerances. Although the Propiconazole RED was signed on July 18, 2006, certain components of the document, which did not affect the final regulatory decision, were undergoing final editing at that time. These components, including the list of additional generic data requirements, summary of labeling changes, appendices, and other relevant information, have been added to the Propiconazole RED document. EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all pesticides VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:04 Aug 22, 2006 Jkt 208001 undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14, 2004 (69 FR 26819) (FRL–7357–9), explains that in conducting these programs, EPA is tailoring its public participation process to be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide. Due to its uses, risks, and other factors, propiconazole was reviewed through the modified 4Phase public participation process. Through this process, EPA worked extensively with stakeholders and the public to reach the regulatory decisions for propiconazole. The reregistration program is being conducted under Congressionally mandated time frames, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely decisions and to involve the public. Because few substantive comments were received during the earlier comment period for this pesticide, and all issues related to this pesticide were resolved through consultations with stakeholders, no comment period is needed on this regulatory decision. The Agency therefore is issuing the Propiconazole RED without a comment period. B. What is the Agency’s Authority for Taking this Action? Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA as amended, directs that, after submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ‘‘the Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active ingredient are eligible for reregistration,’’ before calling in product-specific data on individual enduse products and either reregistering products or taking other ‘‘appropriate regulatory action.’’ Section 408(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review tolerances and exemptions for pesticide residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, to determine whether the tolerance or exemption meets the requirements of section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. This review is to be completed by August 3, 2006. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Material preservatives, Pesticides and pests, Propiconazole, Triazole fungicides, Wood preservatives.

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

    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

New Tolerance

    PP 5F6997. Dow AgroSciences, 9330 Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 
46268, proposes to establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide 
myclobutanil in or on food and feed commodities soybean, aspirated 
grain fractions at 1.1 parts per million (ppm); soybean, forage at 5.0 
ppm; soybean, hay at 13.0 ppm; soybean, hulls at 0.06 ppm; soybean, 
meal at 0.03 ppm; soybean, oil at 0.1 ppm; and soybean, seed at 0.05 
ppm. The validated analytical method limit of quantitation (LOQ) and 
the limit of detection (LOD) were 0.01 ppm and 0.003 ppm, respectively, 
for all soybean matrices. Final samples were filtered and the final 
solutions were analyzed using on-line solid phase extraction coupled to 
high performance liquid chromatography with positive-ion atmospheric 
pressure chemical ionization (APCI) tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/
MS).
