Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540-6635, proposes to establish a tolerance for residues of the miticide bifenazate, (1-methylethyl 2-(4methoxy[1,1’-biphenyl]-3yl)hydrazinecarboxylate) and diazinecarboxylic acid, 2-(4-methoxy[1,1’-biphenyl]-3-yl), 1-methylethyl ester (expressed as bifenazate) in or on food commodities: Papaya, star apple, black sapote, mango, sapodilla, canistel, and mamey sapote at 6.0 ppm; lychee, longan, Spanish lime, rambutan, and pulasan at 4.0 ppm; feijoa, guava, jaboticaba, wax jambu, starfruit, passionfruit, and acerola at 0.9 ppm; caneberry subgroup 13A at 6.0 ppm; wild raspberry at 6.0 ppm; edible podded legume vegetable, subgroup 6A at 4.0 ppm; succulent shelled pea and bean, subgroup 6B at 0.3 ppm; and succulent shelled soybean at 0.3 ppm. As D3598, a significant metabolite, was found to interconvert readily to/from bifenazate, the analytical method is designed to convert all residues of D3598 to the parent compound PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (bifenazate) for analysis. The method utilizes reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to separate the bifenazate from matrix derived interferences, and oxidative coulometric electrochemical detection for the identification and quantification of this analyte. Using this method, the LOQ was 0.05 ppm. The LOD for this method, which varies with matrix, is 0.005 ppm. The analytical method for bifenazate and its major metabolite D3598 in animal samples used the same principles as the plant method with minor modifications. However, in animal samples, a separate aliquot of the extract was used to determine residues of A1530 and its sulfate (combined) in milk and meat samples (these metabolites appeared to be significant in goat metabolism studies). The extract was subjected to acid hydrolysis to convert the sulfate conjugate to A1530 before it was quantified by HPLC using fluorescence or oxidative coulometric electrochemical detectors (OCED).

Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540-6635, proposes to establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide triflumizole, (1-(1-((4chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl) VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:50 Jun 26, 2007 Jkt 211001 phenyl)imino)-′2-propoxyethyl)-1Himidazole), and its metabolites containing the 4-chloro-2trifluoromethylaniline moiety, calculated as the parent compound in or on food commodity leafy Brassica (subgroup 5B) at 20.0 ppm. The analytical method is suitable for analyzing crops for residues of triflumizole and its aniline containing metabolites at the proposed tolerance levels. The analytical method has been independently validated. Residue levels of triflumizole are converted to FA-1-1 by acidic and alkaline reflux, followed by distillation. Residues are then extracted and subjected to solid phase extraction (SPE) purification. Detection and quantitation are conducted by a GC equipped with nitrogen phosphorus detector, electron capture detector or mass spectrometry detection. The LOQ of the method has been determined at 0.05 ppm for the combined residues of triflumizole and FA-1-1 in mustard greens. The enforcement methodology has been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for publication in the PAM II.

Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540-6635, proposes to establish a tolerance for combined residues of the insecticide flonicamid [N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3pyridinecarboxamide] and its metabolites TFNA [4trifluoromethylnicotinic acid], TFNAAM [4-trifluoromethylnicotinamide], TFNG [N-(4trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycine] in or on food commodities: Vegetables, root, except sugarbeet, (subgroup 1B) at 0.45 ppm; radish, tops at 16.0 ppm; vegetables, tuberous and corm, (subgroup 1C) at 0.2 ppm; Brassica, leafy greens (subgroup 5B) at 16.0 ppm; turnip greens at 16.0 ppm; hop at 7.0 ppm; and okra at 0.4 ppm. Analytical methodology has been developed to determine the residues of flonicamid and its three major metabolites (TFNA, TFNG, and TFNA-AM) in various crops. The residue analytical method for the majority of crops includes an initial extraction with acetonitrile/deionized water (ACN/DI), followed by a liquid/ liquid partition with ethyl acetate. The residue method for wheat straw is similar, except that a C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) is added prior to the liquid/liquid partition. The final sample solution is quantitated using LC PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35241 equipped with a reverse phase column and a triple quadruple mass spectrometer (MS/MS).

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is printing notice of the filing of pesticide petitions 
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 
petitions described in this notice contain data or information 
regarding the elements set forth in section 408(d)(2) of FFDCA; 
however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted 
data at this time or whether the data support granting of the pesticide 
petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on these 
pesticide petitions.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions 
included in this notice, prepared by the petitioner, is included in a 
docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket for each of the 
petitions is available on-line at https://www.regulations.gov.

New Tolerances

    1. PP 5F6904. (Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0157). ABERCO, 
Inc., 9430 Lanham-Severn Road, Seabrook, MD 20706, proposes to 
establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide propylene oxide in 
or on food commodities: Grape, raisin at 1.0 parts per million (ppm); 
fig at 3.0 ppm and plum, prune, dried at 2.0 ppm. ABERCO has submitted 
an enforcement method for determination of residues of propylene oxide, 
propylene chlorohydrin, and propylene bromohydrin in nutmeats, cocoa, 
and dried spices. Contact: Tony Kish, telephone number: (703) 308-9943; 
e-mail address: kish.tony@epa.gov.
    2. PP 6E7144. (Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0020). Tamico, 
Inc., 1950 Lake Park Dr., Smyrna, GA 30080, proposes to establish 
import tolerances for residues of the fungicide thiram in or on food 
commodities: Banana, whole at 0.5 ppm and banana, pulp at 0.3 ppm. 
Banana samples were analyzed according to analytical method meth-100, 
revision 4 , ``Determination of Thiram in Raw Agricultural 
Commodities, Processed Commodities and Other Plant Material''. 
Detection and quantitation for thiram (as CS2) were conducted using gas 
chromatography (GC) employing sulfur-specific flame photometric 
detection (FPD). The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0.05 ppm. Contact: 
Bryant Crowe, telephone number: (703) 305-0025; e-mail address:

    3. PP 6F7134. (Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0178). Bayer 
CropScience, P.O. Box 12014, 2 T.W. Alexander Dr., Research Triangle 
Park, NC 27709, proposes to establish a tolerance for residues of the 
fungicide prothioconazole and its desthio metabolite in or on food 
commodities: Beet, sugar, roots at 0.25 ppm and beet, sugar, tops at 
9.0 ppm. The analytical method for determining residues of concern in 
plant extract residues of prothioconazole and JAU6476-desthio and 
converts the prothioconazole to JAU6376-desthio and JAU6476-sulfonic 
acid. Following addition of internal standards the sample extracts are 
analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). 
Radiovalidation and independent laboratory validation have shown that 
the method adequately quantifies prothioconazole residues in treated

[[Page 35240]]

commodities. The analytical method for analysis of large animal tissues 
includes extraction of the residues of concern, followed by addition of 
an internal standard to the extract. The extract is then hydrolyzed to 
release conjugates, partitioned and analyzed by LC/MS/MS as 
prothioconazole, JAU6476-desthio and JAU6476-4-hydroxy. The method for 
analysis of milk eliminated the initial extraction step in the tissue 
method. Contact: Bryant Crowe, telephone number: (703) 305-0025; e-mail

    6. PP 6E7153. (Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0301). 
Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, 
Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 08540-6635, proposes to establish a 
tolerance for residues of the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl [ethyl 2-
[[[[(4-chloro-6-methoxypyrimidin-2yl) amino]carbonyl] amino]sulfonyl] 
benzoate] in or on food commodities: Cranberry; bearberry; bilberry; 
lowbush berry; cloudberry; lingonberry; muntries; and partridgeberry at 
0.02 ppm. The nature of residues of chlorimuron-ethyl is adequately 
understood and an acceptable analytical method is available for 
enforcement purposes. The LOQ allows monitoring of crops with 
chlorimuron-ethyl residues at or above the levels proposed in this 
tolerance. Contact: Sidney Jackson, telephone number: (703) 305-7610; 
e-mail address: jackson.sidney@epa.gov.
    7. PP 6E7167. (Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0302. Interregional 
Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, 
Princeton, NJ 08540-6635, proposes to establish a tolerance for 
residues of the miticide bifenazate, (1-methylethyl 2-(4-methoxy[1,1'-
biphenyl]-3-yl)hydrazinecarboxylate) and diazinecarboxylic acid, 2-(4-
methoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl), 1-methylethyl ester (expressed as 
bifenazate) in or on food commodities: Papaya, star apple, black 
sapote, mango, sapodilla, canistel, and mamey sapote at 6.0 ppm; 
lychee, longan, Spanish lime, rambutan, and pulasan at 4.0 ppm; feijoa, 
guava, jaboticaba, wax jambu, starfruit, passionfruit, and acerola at 
0.9 ppm; caneberry subgroup 13A at 6.0 ppm; wild raspberry at 6.0 ppm; 
edible podded legume vegetable, subgroup 6A at 4.0 ppm; succulent 
shelled pea and bean, subgroup 6B at 0.3 ppm; and succulent shelled 
soybean at 0.3 ppm. As D3598, a significant metabolite, was found to 
interconvert readily to/from bifenazate, the analytical method is 
designed to convert all residues of D3598 to the parent compound 
(bifenazate) for analysis. The method utilizes reversed phase high 
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to separate the bifenazate 
from matrix derived interferences, and oxidative coulometric 
electrochemical detection for the identification and quantification of 
this analyte. Using this method, the LOQ was 0.05 ppm. The LOD for this 
method, which varies with matrix, is 0.005 ppm. The analytical method 
for bifenazate and its major metabolite D3598 in animal samples used 
the same principles as the plant method with minor modifications. 
However, in animal samples, a separate aliquot of the extract was used 
to determine residues of A1530 and its sulfate (combined) in milk and 
meat samples (these metabolites appeared to be significant in goat 
metabolism studies). The extract was subjected to acid hydrolysis to 
convert the sulfate conjugate to A1530 before it was quantified by HPLC 
using fluorescence or oxidative coulometric electrochemical detectors 
(OCED). Contact: Sidney Jackson, telephone number: (703) 305-7610; e-

its metabolites containing the 4-chloro-2-trifluoromethylaniline 
moiety, calculated as the parent compound in or on food commodity leafy 
Brassica (subgroup 5B) at 20.0 ppm. The analytical method is suitable 
for analyzing crops for residues of triflumizole and its aniline 
containing metabolites at the proposed tolerance levels. The analytical 
method has been independently validated. Residue levels of triflumizole 
are converted to FA-1-1 by acidic and alkaline reflux, followed by 
distillation. Residues are then extracted and subjected to solid phase 
extraction (SPE) purification. Detection and quantitation are conducted 
by a GC equipped with nitrogen phosphorus detector, electron capture 
detector or mass spectrometry detection. The LOQ of the method has been 
determined at 0.05 ppm for the combined residues of triflumizole and 
FA-1-1 in mustard greens. The enforcement methodology has been

CropScience, 2 T.W. Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, 
proposes to amend the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.473(a) to eliminate the 
reference to transgenic crops tolerant to glufosinate ammonium in 
section 180.473(a)(2) such that the crop tolerances listed under 
section 180.473(a) General support uses in all of the crops listed to
