2. Other related information. More
information on these cases, including
the active ingredients for each case, may
be located in the registration review
schedule on the Agency’s website at
http://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/

document. To be considered during a
pesticide’s registration review, the
submitted data or information must
meet the following requirements:
• To ensure that EPA will consider
data or information submitted,
interested persons must submit the data
or information during the comment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you are an agricultural
producer, food manufacturer, or
pesticide manufacturer. Potentially
affected entities may include, but are
not limited to:
• Crop production (NAICS code 111).
• Animal production (NAICS code
112).
• Food manufacturing (NAICS code
311).
• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS
code 32532).
This listing is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide
for readers regarding entities likely to be
affected by this action. Other types of
entities not listed in this unit could also
be affected. The North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes have been provided to
assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to
certain entities. If you have any
questions regarding the applicability of
this action to a particular entity, consult
the person listed at the end of the
pesticide petition summary of interest.
B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare
My Comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. 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 specific information that is
claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When submitting comments, remember
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:58 Sep 18, 2007 Jkt 211001
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may
ask you to respond to 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.
vi. Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns and suggest
alternatives.
vii. Explain your views as clearly as
possible, avoiding the use of profanity
or personal threats.
viii. Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
II. Docket ID Numbers
When submitting comments, please
use the docket ID number and the
pesticide petition number of interest, as
shown in the table.

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
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 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
PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM
docket for each of the petitions is
available on-line at http://

New Tolerance
1. PP 1F6253. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–
0637). Dow AgroSciences LLC, 9330
Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268,
proposes to establish a tolerance for
residues of the fungicide 1,3-D, [1,3-
dichloropropene] in or on the food
commodity grape at 0.009 parts per
million (ppm). There is a practical
analytical method for detecting and
measuring levels of 1,3-D in or on food
with a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of
0.003 ppm. Contact: Tamue Gibson,
703-305-9096, e-mail address:

2. PP 7F3530. (EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–
0704). Janssen Pharmaceutica, Inc.,
Preservation and Material Protection
Division, 1125 Trenton-Harbourton
Road, Titusville, NJ 08560, proposes to
establish a tolerance for the combined
residues of the fungicide imazalil, 1-[2-
(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(2-
propenyloxy)ethyl]-1H-imidazole and
its metabolite, 1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-
(1H-imidazole-1-yl)-1-ethanol (R014821)
in or on the food commodities melon
crop subgroup (9-A), except watermelon
at 5.0 ppm and corn, fresh, sweet, forage
and fodder at 0.2 ppm. Melon crop
subgroup (9-A), except watermelon
includes the raw agricultural
commodities cantaloupe, casaba, citron
melon, crenshaw melon, golden
pershaw melon, honeydew melon,
honeyballs, mango melon, Persian
melon, pineapple melon, Santa Claus
melon , snake melon, and true
cantaloupe. The Pesticide Analytical
Manual (PAM) Volume II lists a gas
chromatography/electron capture
detector (GC/ECD) method, designated
as Method I for the quantification of
residues of imazalil and its metabolite
R014821. Briefly, residues are extracted
from plant samples with
heptane:isoamyl alcohol (95:5, v:v),
partitioned into 0.1 NH2SO4 and re-
extracted from alkaline solution into
heptane:isoamyl alcohol (95:5, v:v). The
extract is evaporated to dryness and
N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl) acetamide is
added to convert the metabolite to the
trimethylsilyl derivative. Imazalil and
the derivatized metabolite are
determined separately by GC with ECD
from a single injection of the derivative
solution. The limit of detection (LOD)
ranges from 0.01 – 0.05 ppm, depending
on the plant matrix. This enforcement
method has been successfully radio-
validated. Contact: John Bazuin, 703-
305-7381, e-mail address:

Company, DuPont Crop Protection,
Laurel Run Plaza, P.O. Box 80038,
Wilmington, DE 19880-0038, proposes
to establish a tolerance for residues of
the herbicide thifensulfuron methyl,
methyl-3-[[[[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-
triazin-2-yl)amino]carbonyl]amino]
sulfonyl]-2-thiophenecarboxylate, in or
on the food commodities barley, hay at
0.7 ppm; oat, forage at 0.2 ppm; oat, hay
at 2.0 ppm; wheat, forage at 1.0 ppm;
and wheat, hay at 0.8 ppm.
Thifensulfuron methyl residues in
wheat forage and hay, barley hay, and
oat forage and hay were determined by
an analytical method utilizing liquid
chromatography/mass spectrometry/
mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)
analysis. The analytes were resolved by
high pressure liquid chromatography
(HPLC) and quantitatively analyzed by
using the Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC)
from two molecular ion transitions for
each analyte. The LOQ was 0.01 ppm in
these commodities. Contact: Vickie

food commodities wheat, forage at 0.3
ppm; wheat, hay at 0.3 ppm; barley, hay
at 0.3 ppm; oat, forage at 0.3 ppm; oat,
hay at 0.8 ppm. Tribenuron methyl
residues in wheat forage and hay, barley
hay, and oat forage and hay were
determined by an analytical method
utilizing liquid chromatography/mass
spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/
MS/MS) analysis. The analytes were
resolved by HPLC and quantitatively
analyzed by using the Total Ion
Chromatogram (TIC) from two
molecular ion transitions for each
analyte. The LOQ was 0.01 ppm in these
commodities. There are other analytical
methods to determine tribenuron
methyl residues in wheat forage and
hay, including HPLC column switching
and ultraviolet (UV) detection. The LOQ
is 0.01 ppm for wheat grain and forage,
and 0.05 ppm for wheat hay. Contact:
