B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through https://www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as 
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the

    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 atypical 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 receipt of pesticide petitions filed under 
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 
U.S.C. 346a, requesting 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. The Agency is taking 
public comment on the requests before responding to the petitioners. 
EPA is not proposing any particular action at this time. EPA has 
determined that the pesticide petitions described in this document 
contain data or information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 
U.S.C. 346a(d)(2), and 40 CFR 180.7(b); however, EPA has not fully 
evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether 
the data supports granting of the pesticide petitions. After 
considering the public comments, EPA intends to evaluate whether and 
what action may be warranted. Additional data may be needed before EPA 
can make a final determination on these pesticide petitions.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), summaries of the petitions that are 
the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioners, are included 
in dockets EPA has created for these rulemakings. The dockets for these 
petitions are available at https://www.regulations.gov.

is publishing notice of the petitions so that the public has an 
opportunity to comment on these requests for the establishment or 
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food 
commodities. Further information on the petitions may be obtained 
through the petition summaries referenced in this unit.

C. New Tolerances for Inerts

    PP 1E8945. EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0853. Corteva Agriscience, 9330 
Zionsville Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46268, requests to establish a 
tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide, 
sulfoxaflor, in or on the raw agricultural commodity coffee, green bean 
at 0.3 ppm and coffee, instant at 0.5. The liquid chromatography/mass 
spectroscopy/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS analysis) is used to measure 
and evaluate the chemical sulfoxaflor, 1-(6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-
yl) ethyl(methyl)-oxido-[lambda]4-sulfanylidenecyanamide. Contact: RD.

D. New Tolerances for Non-Inerts

    1. PP 1E8933. EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0671. Bayer CropScience, 800 N 
Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63141, requests to establish a tolerance 
in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide deltamethrin, in or 
on pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean (crop group 6c) at 0.07 
ppm. The gas chromatography equipped with an electron capture detector 
(GC/ECD) is used to measure and evaluate the chemical deltamethrin. 
Contact: RD.
    2. PP 1F8971. EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0493. Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC., 
P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419-8300, requests to establish a 
tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for inadvertent residues of the fungicide, 
mefenoxam in or on sugarcane at 0.1 ppm. The analytical method Syngenta 
Crop Protection Analytical Method ``Link K (2016) Metalaxyl--Analytical 
Method GRM075.01A for the Determination of Residues of Metalaxyl on 
Structurally Related Metabolites as Common Moiety 2,6-Dimethylaniline 
(CGA72649) in Crops'' is used to measure and evaluate the chemical 
mefenoxam. Contact: RD.
    3. PP 1F8977. EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0575. ADAMA AGAN c/o Makhteshim Agan 
of North America, Inc. (d/b/a ADAMA), 3120 Highwoods Blvd., Suite 100, 
Raleigh, NC 27604, requests to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 
for residues of the herbicide metamitron in or on pome fruit (crop 
group 11-10) at 0.01 ppm. The HPLC employing tandem mass spectrometric 
(MS/MS) detection (LC-MS/MS) is used to measure and evaluate the 
chemical metamitron. Contact: RD.
    4. PP F8997. EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0597. Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, 
P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27419 requests to establish a tolerance 
in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the fungicide, Oxathiapiprolin, in 
or on peanut hay at 0.15 ppm. The adequate analytical methodology, 
high-pressure liquid chromatography with MS/MS detection, is available 
for enforcement purposes is used to measure and evaluate the chemical 
Oxathiapiprolin. Contact: RD.
