The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Notice of filing of petitions and request for comment.
SUMMARY:
This document announces the Agency's receipt of and solicits public comment on initial filings of pesticide petitions requesting the establishment or modification of regulations for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various commodities. The Agency is providing this notice in accordance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EPA uses the month and year in the title to identify when the Agency compiled the petitions identified in this notice of filing. Unit II. of this document identifies certain petitions received in 2023, 2024 and 2025 that are currently being evaluated
( printed page 29516)
by EPA, along with information about each petition, including who submitted the petition and the requested action.
DATES:
Comments must be received on or before August 4, 2025.
ADDRESSES:
Submit your comments, identified by docket identification (ID) number and the pesticide petition (PP) of interest identified in Unit II. of this document, online at
https://www.regulations.gov.
Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Additional instructions on commenting and visiting the docket, along with more information about dockets generally, is available at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Each application summary in Unit II. specifies a contact division. The appropriate division contacts are identified as follows:
BPPD (Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division) (Mail Code 7511M); Shannon Borges; main telephone number: (202) 566-1400; email address:BPPDFRNotices@epa.gov;
or
RD (Registration Division) (Mail Code 7505T); Charles Smith; main telephone number: (202) 566-1030; email address:RDFRNotices@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. Does this action apply to me?
This action provides information that is directed to the public in general.
B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
EPA regulations for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various food commodities are established under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a. FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), requires EPA to publish a notice of the filing of these petitions in the
Federal Register
and provide an opportunity for public comment on the requests.
C. What action is the Agency taking?
As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is publishing notice of the receipt of pesticide petitions filed under FFDCA section 408 that request the establishment or modification of regulations for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various food commodities. The Agency is taking public comment on the requests before responding to the petitioner. Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition identified in this document, prepared by the petitioner, is included in a docket. 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), and 40 CFR 180.7(b); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting 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.
Based upon review of the data supporting these petitions and in accordance with its authority under FFDCA section 408(d)(4)(A)(i), EPA may establish a final tolerance or tolerance exemption that “may vary from that sought by the petitioner.” For example, EPA may determine that it is appropriate to vary the commodity name for consistency with EPA's Food and Feed Commodity Vocabulary, which is located here
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-tolerances/food-and-feed-commodity-vocabulary,
or vary the tolerance level based on available data, harmonization interests, or the trailing zeros policy. In addition, when evaluating a petition's requests for a tolerance or exemption, EPA will consider how use of the pesticide on a crop for which a tolerance is requested may result in residues in or on commodities related to that requested commodity (
e.g.,
whether use on sugar beets for which a tolerance was requested on sugar beet root also requires a tolerance on sugar beet tops or whether use on a cereal grain for which a grain tolerance was requested also requires a tolerance on related animal feed commodities derived from that cereal grain). Public commenters should consider the possibility of such revisions in preparing comments on these petitions.
D. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
1.
Submitting CBI.
Do not submit CBI to EPA through
https://www.regulations.gov
or email. If you wish to include CBI in your comment, please follow the applicable instructions at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets#rules
and clearly mark the information that you claim to be CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes CBI, a copy of the comment without CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information marked as CBI will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
2.

s
-triazine, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the following raw agricultural commodity leek at 0.05 parts per million. The control and treated samples were analyzed using a working method very similar to the reference method, “Analytical Method for the Determination of Prometryn and Metabolites GS-11354 and GS-26831 in Celery, Cottonseed, and Cottonseed Fractions.” methods using microcoulometric, thermionic, or FPD/S detectors. (Method AG-559), using a flame photometric detector in the sulfur mode (FPD/S) has undergone a successful independent laboratory validation.

(EPA-HQ-OPP-2025-0286). Elicit Plant S.A.S., 1 Passage de la Croix, Lieu-dit le chataignier, 16220 Moulins-sur-tardoire, France requests to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of D-Glucopyranoside, β-D-fructofuranosyl, mixed palmitates and stearates (CAS Reg. No 84066-95-5) when used as inert ingredient in pesticide formulations applied pre-harvest under 40 CFR 180.920. The petitioner believes no analytical method is needed because it is not required for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.
