Ethofumesate; Modification and Closure of Reregistration Eligibility Decision; Notice of Availability
This notice announces EPA's intention to modify certain risk mitigation measures that were imposed as a result of the 2005 Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the pesticide ethofumesate, and opens a public comment period on these changes. EPA conducted this reassessment of the ethofumesate RED in response to new dermal absorption data submitted by the technical registrant, Bayer CropScience, Inc. These data allowed the Agency to modify its original assumption of 100% dermal absorption to 27% and thus modify the ethofumesate label requirements including: removing the 9-day re-entry interval for maintenance activity and adjusting the existing harvest prohibition for sod from 16 days to 3 days.
Avermectin; Pesticide Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions

This action is in response to EPA's granting of an emergency exemption under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of this pesticide on bulb onions. This regulation establishes a maximum permissible level for residues of avermectin in this food commodity. The tolerance expires and is revoked on December 31, 2009.

EPA has received a specific exemption request from the Oregon Department of Agriculture to use the pesticide quinoclamine (CAS No. 2797-51-5) to treat up to 600 acres of ornamental plants grown in containers in commercial greenhouses to control liverwort. The Applicant proposes the use of a new chemical which has not been registered by the EPA. EPA is soliciting public comment before making the decision whether or not to grant the exemption.
Tris (2-ethylhexyl) Phosphate; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of tris (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (TEHP, CAS Reg. No. 78-42-2) when used as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations with the active ingredients pinoxaden, clodinafop- propargyl, and tralkoxydium, with no more than two applications per season when applied to wheat and barley up to the pre-boot stage (prior to formation of edible grain). Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for residues of TEHP.
