establish a tolerance for residues of the
fungicide fluazinam in or on food
commodities in PP 6E7137: Vegetable,
legume, edible podded, subgroup 6A,
except pea at 0.15 parts per million
(ppm); Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup
5B at 0.02 ppm; Brassica, head and
stem, subgroup 5A at 0.01 ppm; and
turnip, tops at 0.02 ppm. IR-4 also
proposes to establish a tolerance for
residues of fluazinam and its metabolite
AMGT in or on food commodities:
Bushberry subgroup 13B; berry, aronia;
blueberry, lowbush; currant, buffalo;
guava, chilean; barberry, European;
cranberry, highbush; honeysuckle;
jostaberry; Juneberry; lingonberry;
currant, native; salal; and buckthorn, sea
at 4.5 ppm. IR-4 proposes to establish a
tolerance for residues of fluazinam in or
on food commodities in PP 6E7139:
Ginseng at 3.0 ppm; bean, dry at 0.01
ppm; and pea and bean, succulent
shelled, subgroup 6B, except pea at 0.02
ppm. An analytical method using gas
chromatography with electron capture
detection (GC-ECD) for the
determination of fluazinam residues on
beans (snap, lima, and dry), Brassica
crops (broccoli, cabbage and mustard
greens), ginseng and blueberry has been
developed and validated. Contact: Shaja

residues of the insecticide clothianidin
in or on food commodities: Beet, sugar,
root at 0.02 ppm; beet, sugar, tops at
0.04 ppm; and beets, sugar, molasses at
0.06 ppm. In plants and plant products,
the residue of concern parent
clothianidin can be determined using
high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) with
electrospray tandem mass spectrometry
(MS/MS) detection. In an extraction
efficiency testing, the plant residues
method has also demonstrated the
ability to extract aged clothianidin
residue. Although the plant residues LCMS/MS method is highly suitable for
enforcement method, an L C-Ultraviolet
(UV) method has also been developed
which is suitable for enforcement
monitoring purposes in all relevant
matrices. Contact: Kable (Bo) Davis,

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is printing notice of the filing 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 modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in
or on various food commodities. EPA has determined that the pesticide
petition described in this notice 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 supports 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, is included in a docket EPA
has created for this rulemaking. The docket for this petition is
available on-line at https://www.regulations.gov.
New Exemption from Tolerance

enyl)-3-methyl-penta-(2Z,4E)-dienoic Acid, in or on food commodity
grapes. Because this petition is a request for an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance without numerical limitations, no analytical
method is required.
