issues, the Agency seeks information on

effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is announcing its receipt of
several pesticide petitions filed 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 174 or 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 the data or
information prescribed 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 petitions. Additional data may
be needed before EPA can make a final
determination on these pesticide
petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of each of the petitions that is
the subject of 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.
As specified in FFDCA section
408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)), EPA is
publishing notice of the petition so that
the public has an opportunity to
comment on this request for the
establishment or modification of
regulations for residues of pesticides in
or on food commodities. Further
information on the petition may be
obtained through the petition summary
referenced in this unit.
Time-Limited Tolerance
PP 9E7517 (EPA–HQ–OPP–2005–
0477). DowAgroSciences LLC, 9330
Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268
proposes to establish time-limited
tolerances in 40 CFR 180.469 with an
expiration date of December 31, 2010,
for residues of dichlormid in or on field
corn (forage, grain, stover) at 0.05 part
per million (ppm); pop corn (grain,
stover) at 0.05 ppm; and sweet corn
(forage, kernel plus cob with husks
removed, stover) at 0.05 ppm. An
adequate enforcement method for
residues of dichlormid in corn has been
developed and validated by the
Analytical Chemical Laboratory (ACL)
of EPA. Analysis is carried out using gas
chromatography with nitrogen selective
thermionic detection. The limit of
determination is 0.01 ppm. Contact:

specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have a typical or disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
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 174 or 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 the data or
information prescribed 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 petitions.
Additional data may be needed before EPA can make a final determination
on these pesticide petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that is the subject of 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.
As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)),
EPA is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained
through the petition summary referenced in this unit.
Time-Limited Tolerance
PP 9E7517 (EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-0477). DowAgroSciences LLC, 9330
Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268 proposes to establish time-
limited tolerances in 40 CFR 180.469 with an expiration date of
December 31, 2010, for residues of dichlormid in or on field corn
(forage, grain, stover) at 0.05 part per million (ppm); pop corn
(grain, stover) at 0.05 ppm; and sweet corn (forage, kernel plus cob
with husks removed, stover) at 0.05 ppm. An adequate enforcement method
for residues of dichlormid in corn has been developed and validated by
the Analytical Chemical Laboratory (ACL) of EPA. Analysis is carried
out using gas chromatography with nitrogen selective thermionic
detection. The limit of determination is 0.01 ppm. Contact: Keri
Grinstead, (703) 308-8373, grinstead.keri@epa.gov.
New Tolerance Exemptions
1. PP 9E7518. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0042). The Joint Inerts Task Force,
Cluster Support Team 7, EPA Company Number 84881, c/o CropLife America,
1156 15th Street, NW., Suite 400, Washington, DC 20005, proposes to
establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR
180.920 for residues of methyl poly(oxyethylene) C8-
C18 alkylammonium chlorides where the poly(oxyethylene)
content is n=2-15 and where C8-C18 alkyl is
linear and may be saturated or unsaturated. Concentration in formulated
end-use products is not to exceed 10% by weight in herbicide products
and 5% by weight in all other pesticide products when used as pesticide
inert ingredients in pesticide formulations, including CAS Reg. Nos.

naphthalenesulfonate formaldehyde condensates when used as pesticide
inert ingredients in pesticide formulations, including CAS Reg. Nos.
68425-94-5, 9069-80-1, 9084-06-4, 36290-04-7, 91078-68-1, 141959-43-5,

proposes to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance
under 40 CFR 180.920 for residues of N-alkyl (C8-
C18) primary amines and acetate salts, where the alkyl group
is linear and may be saturated and/or unsaturated. Concentration in
formulated end-use products is not to exceed 8% by weight in herbicide
products, 5% by weight in insecticide products, and 30% by weight in
fungicide products when used as pesticide inert ingredients in
pesticide formulations, including N-alkyl (C8-
C18) primary amine acetate salts: CAS Reg. Nos. 61790-57-6,
61790-60-1, 61790-59-8, 61790-58-7 and N-alkyl (C8-
C18) primary amines: CAS Reg. Nos. 61788-46-3, 61790-33-8,
