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:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     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
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
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 https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.
    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); 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.
    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.

A. Amended Tolerance Exemptions for Non-Inerts (Except PIPS)

    PP 1F8962. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0911). Agroindustrial Kimitec S.L.,
Maavi Innovation Center, Paraje Cerro de los Lobos s/n, 04738 Vicar,
Almeria, Spain (c/o Compliance Services International, 7501 Bridgeport

the requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.1271 for residues of the
insecticide eucalyptus oil in or on all food commodities when used in
accordance with good agricultural practices. The petitioner believes no
analytical method is needed because eucalyptus oil is included by the
FDA in the Direct Food Substances Affirmed as Generally Recognized as
Safe list and, per 40 CFR part 150.2040, ``residue chemistry data
requirements apply to biochemical pesticide products when Tier II or
Tier III toxicology data are required, as specified for biochemical
agents in the biochemical human health assessment data requirements,
Sec.  158.2050''. In the case of eucalyptus oil, the results of Tier I
toxicology testing indicated that no Tier II or Tier III toxicology
data were required, and as a result, no residue enforcement method is
required. Contact: BPPD.

B. Notice of Filing--Amended Tolerances for Non-Inerts

(methyl (Z)-2-{2-[6-(2- cyanophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yloxy]pheny1{time} -3-
methoxyacrylate), in or on mango at 4 ppm and papaya at 6 ppm. Gas
chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection (GC-NPD) or in mobile
phase by high performance liquid chromatography with ultra-violet
detection (HPLC-UV) is used to measure and evaluate the chemical
Azoxystrobin and its Z isomer. Contact: RD.

(stabilizing agent) in pesticide formulations applied to animals under
40 CFR 180.930, limited to no more than 10,000 ppm in the final
pesticide formulation. The petitioner believes no analytical method is
needed because it is not required for an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance. Contact: RD.
    2. IN-11693. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0325). Ethox Chemicals, LLC (1801

67167-17-3) with a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) of
2500 when used as a pesticide 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. Contact: RD.

D. New Tolerance Exemptions for Non-Inerts (Except PIPS)

    PP 1F8915. (EPA-HQ-OPP-2022-0308). Gowan Company in cooperation
with SDS Biotech K.K., c/o Landis International, Inc., P.O. Box 5126,
