New Tolerances
PP 6F7101. Dow AgroSciences LLC,
9330 Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN
46268-1054, proposes to establish
tolerances for residues of the herbicide
pyroxsulam, N-(5,7dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5a]pyrimidin-2-yl)-2-methoxy-4(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinesulfonamide
in or on the food/feed commodities
wheat, forage at 0.04 parts per million
(ppm); wheat, grain at 0.01 ppm; wheat,
hay at 0.01 ppm; and wheat, straw at
0.01 ppm. An analytical method was
developed to measure the pyroxsulam
in wheat by liquid chromatography with
positive-ion electrospray ionization
(ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (LC/
MS/MS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
108(a) of the Clean Air Act directs the
Administrator to identify certain air
pollutants, which ‘‘may reasonably be
anticipated to endanger public health
and welfare’’ and to issue air quality
criteria for them. These air quality
criteria are to ‘‘accurately reflect the
latest scientific knowledge useful in
indicating the kind and extent of all
identifiable effects on public health or
welfare which may be expected from the
presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient
air * *. *.’’ Under section 109 of the
Act, EPA is then to establish National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for each pollutant for which
EPA has issued criteria. Section 109(d)
of the Act requires subsequent periodic
review and, if appropriate, revision of
existing air quality criteria to reflect
advances in scientific knowledge on the
effects of the pollutant on public health
and welfare. EPA is also to revise the
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the
revised criteria.
Lead is one of six ‘‘criteria’’ pollutants
for which EPA has established air
quality criteria and NAAQS. On
November 9, 2004 (69 FR 64926), EPA
formally initiated its current review of
the criteria and NAAQS for lead,
requesting the submission of recent
scientific information on specified
topics. A draft of EPA’s ‘‘Project Work
Plan for Revised Air Quality Criteria for
Lead’’ (NCEA–R–1465) was released on
January 7, 2005, for public comment (70
FR 1439) and was discussed by the
Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC) via a publicly
accessible teleconference consultation
on March 28, 2005 (70 FR 11629). On
July 15, 2005 (70 FR 41007), several
workshops were announced to discuss,
with invited recognized scientific
experts, initial draft materials that dealt
with various lead-related issues being
addressed in the draft AQCD for lead.
