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 to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    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. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is printing a summary of each pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or amendment of regulations in
40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various
food commodities. EPA has determined that this pesticide petition
contains 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 petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA
rules on this pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner along with a description of the
analytical method available for the detection and measurement of the
pesticide chemical

residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at http://www.regulations.gov.
 To locate this information on the home page of

EPA's Electronic Docket, select ``Quick Search'' and type the OPP
docket ID number. Once the search has located the docket, clicking on
the ``Docket ID'' will bring up a list of all documents in the docket
for the pesticide including the petition summary.

New Tolerance

    1. PP 3E6791. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 681
U.S. Highway 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390, proposes
to establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide boscalid; 3-
pyridinecarboxamide, 2-chloro-N-(4'-chloro(1,1'-biphenyl)-2-yl) in or
on food commodities leafy greens subgroup 4A, except head lettuce and
leaf lettuce at 60 parts per million ppm and leaf petioles subgroup 4B
at 45 ppm.
    2. PP 5E7013. Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), 681
U.S. Highway 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390, proposes
to amend the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.589 for residues of the fungicide
boscalid; 3-pyridinecarboxamide, 2-chloro-N-(4'-chloro(1,1'-biphenyl)-
2-yl) in or on the food commodities by increasing the established
tolerances in or on the raw agricultural commodities; Fruit, pome, crop
group, group 11, to include postharvest use at 8.0 ppm; Fruit, Stone,
crop group 12, to include postharvest use, at 9.0 ppm. Additionally,
IR-4 proposes to establish a tolerance for residues of the fungicide
boscalid; 3-pyridinecarboxamide, 2-chloro-N-(4'-chloro(1,1'-biphenyl)-
2-yl) in or on the food commodity Belgian endive at 12.0 ppm.
    The following analytical methods are used to measure and evaluate
the chemical residues in plants the parent residue is extracted using
an aqueous organic solvent mixture followed by liquid/liquid
partitioning and a column clean up. Quantitation is by gas
chromatography using mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In livestock the
residues are extracted with methanol. The extract is treated with
enzymes in order to release the conjugated glucuronic acid metabolite.
The residues are then isolated by liquid/liquid partition followed by
column chromatography. The hydroxylated metabolite is acetylated
followed by a column clean-up. The parent and acetylated metabolite are
quantitated by gas chromatography with electron capture detection.
