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.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them.
Potentially affected entities may include:
<bullet> Crop production (NAICS code 111).
<bullet> Animal production (NAICS code 112).
<bullet> Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
<bullet> Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> 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 <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html">https://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html</a>.
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
[[Page 54399]]
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 a pesticide petition 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 request before responding to the petitioner. EPA is not proposing
any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the
pesticide petition described in this document contains 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 supports granting of
the pesticide petition. 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 this pesticide petition.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition that is the
subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is included in a
docket EPA has created for this rulemaking. The docket for this
petition is available at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.
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.
A. Notice of Filing--Amended Tolerance Exemptions for Inerts (Except
PIPS)
PP IN-11865. EPA-HQ-OPP-2024-0190. RegGuide (P.O. Box 2226, 509
Tower Valley Drive, Hillsboro, MO 63050) on behalf of Stratacor, Inc.
(6 Christopher Court, Novato, CA 94947), requests to amend an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of choline chloride
(CAS Reg. No. 67-48-1) by adding its use as an inert ingredient
(adjuvant) in pesticide formulations under 40 CFR 180.930. The
petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because it is not
required for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. Contact:
RD.

or on the raw agricultural plant commodity: Vegetable, cucurbit, group
9, at 0.15 ppm. An independently validated analytical method has been
submitted for determining inpyrfluxam residues with appropriate
sensitivity in all crop commodities for which tolerances are being
requested. Contact: RD.
