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 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 
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 preparing and submitting 
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    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 its receipt of several 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 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

[[Page 40273]]

proposing any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that 
the pesticide petitions described in this document contain the data or 
information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 
346a(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. 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), a summary of each of the petitions 
that are the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is 
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket 
for each of the petitions is available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA 
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.

III. Amended Tolerances

    1. PP 8E8665. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0162). Interregional Research 
Project No. 4 (IR-4), IR-4 Project Headquarters, Rutgers, The State 
University of NJ, 500 College Road East, Suite 201 W, Princeton, NJ 
08540, requests to amend 40 CFR 180.566 by removing the established 
tolerances for residues of fenpyroximate determined by measuring only 
the sum of fenpyroximate, (E)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-
phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene]amino]oxy]methyl] benzoate and its Z-
isomer, (Z)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-[[[[(1,3-dimethyl-5-phenoxy-1H-pyrazol-
4-yl)methylene]amino]oxy]methyl] benzoate, calculated as the 
stoichiometric equivalent of fenpyroximate in or on the raw 
agricultural commodities: Bean, snap, succulent at 0.40 parts per 
million (ppm); cotton, undelinted seed at 0.10 ppm; cucumber at 0.40 
ppm; nut, tree, group 14 at 0.10 ppm; and pistachio at 0.10 ppm. An 
enforcement method has been developed which involves extraction of 
fenpyroximate and the M-1 Metabolite from crops with ethyl acetate in 
the presence of anhydrous sodium sulfate, dilution with methanol, and 
then analysis by high performance LC/MS/MS. The method has undergone 
independent laboratory validation as required by PR Notice 88-5 and 96-
1. Contact: RD.
    2. PP 8F8668. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0207). Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. 
Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 requests to amend a 
tolerance in 40 CFR 180 for residues of the herbicide glufosinate-
ammonium, in or on the raw agricultural commodities olive at 0.50 ppm; 
soybean hulls at 10.0 ppm; stone fruit (Crop Group 12-12) at 0.30 ppm; 
and tree nuts (Crop Group 14-12) at 0.50 ppm. The LC/MS/MS method is 
used to measure and evaluate the chemical glufosinate-ammonium 
(ammonium (butanoic acid, 2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-
monoammonium salt) and its metabolites, 2-acetamido-4-
methylphosphinico-butanoic acid and 3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid, 
expressed as 2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl) butanoic acid 
equivalents. Contact: RD.

IV. New Tolerance Exemptions for Inerts (Except PIPS)

    PP IN-11127. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-0289). Spring Trading Company on 
behalf of Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry LLC, 525 West Van Buren, 
Chicago, IL 60607-3823 requests to establish an exemption from the 
requirement of a tolerance for residues of maltodextrin-
vinylpyrrolidone copolymer (CAS Reg. No. 1323833-56-2), when used as an 
inert ingredient in pesticide formulations under 40 CFR 180.960. The 
petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because it is not 
required for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.

V. New Tolerances for Non-Inerts

    1. EPA Registration Numbers: 59639-97, 59639-193, 59639-206, 59639-
