claimed to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise
protected through regulations.gov or e-
mail. The regulations.gov website is an
"anonymous access" system, which
means EPA will not know your identity
or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment.
If you send an e-mail comment directly
to EPA without going through
regulations.gov, your e-mail address
will be automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is
placed in the docket and made available
on the Internet. If you submit an
electronic comment, EPA recommends
that you include your name and other
contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM
you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification,
EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form
of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.

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 a
pesticide petition filed 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 174 or part 180 for residues of
pesticide chemicals in or on various
food commodities. EPA has determined
that the pesticide petition described in
this notice contains data or information
prescribed 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 supports
granting of the pesticide petition.
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 notice, prepared by the
petitioner, is included in a docket EPA
has created for this rulemaking. The
docket for this petition is available on-
line 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 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 summaryreferenced in this unit.
