II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is printing a summary of each
pesticide petition 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 esfenvalerate in or on okra
and oilseed crops. 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 esfenvalerate 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

Interregional Research Project Number 4
(IR-4), 681 U.S. Highway 1 South, North
Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390, proposes to
establish tolerances for residues of the
insecticide esfenvalerate ((S)-cyano-(3phenoxyphenyl)methyl(S)-4-chloroalpha-(1-methylethyl)benzeneacetate) in
or on okra at 0.5 parts per million (ppm)
(PP6E7096) and oilseed crops; rapeseed
(canola), seed; indian rapeseed; indian
mustard, seed; field mustard, seed;
black mustard, seed; flax, seed;
sunflower, seed; safflower, seed; borage,
seed; and crambe at 0.3 ppm (9E5075).
There is a practical analytical method
utilizing electron-capture gas
chromatography with nitrogen
phosphorous detection available for
enforcement with a limit of detection
that allows monitoring food with
residues at or above tolerance levels.
The limit of detection for updated
method is the same as that of the current
PAM II, which is 0.01 ppm.

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from July 31, 2006 to August 11, 2006, consists of the PMNs
pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a
new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.
DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before October 13, 2006.
