[EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-1125; FRL-8350-6]
Pesticide Inert Ingredients; Revocation of Tolerance Exemption
for Sperm Oil
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is issuing this final rule to revoke the existing obsolete
tolerance exemption for residues of sperm oil conforming to 21 CFR
172.210. There have not been any active Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) pesticide product registrations containing
this inert ingredient for many years. In addition, the sperm whale
(from which sperm oil is derived) is a federally listed endangered
species, and taking (or harming) this species is prohibited under the
U.S. Endangered Species Act. Therefore, since this exemption
corresponds to uses no longer current or registered under FIFRA in the
United States, EPA is revoking the existing tolerance exemption under
40 CFR 180.910 because it is no longer necessary.
DATES: This regulation is effective November 4, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before January 4, 2010,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-1125. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://
www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard

Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The Docket

Certain Polyurethane Polymer; Tolerance Exemption
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of carbonic acid, diethyl ester, polymer
with [alpha]-hydro-[omega]-hydroxypoly[oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)]
ether with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (3:1), ester with
[alpha]-[[[[5-(carboxyamino)-1,3,3-
trimethylcyclohexyl]methyl]amino]carbonyl]-[omega]-methoxypoly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical
formulation under 40 CFR 180.960. BASF Corporation submitted a petition
to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level
for residues of carbonic acid, diethyl ester, polymer with [alpha]-
hydro-[omega]-hydroxypoly[oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)] ether with 2-
ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (3:1), ester with [alpha]-
[[[[5-(carboxyamino)-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohexyl]methyl]amino]carbonyl]-
[omega]-methoxypoly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), on food or feed commodities.
DATES: This regulation is effective November 4, 2009. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before January 4, 2010,

Pesticides; Draft Guidance for Pesticide Registrants on Pesticide
Drift Labeling
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Agency is announcing the availability of and seeking
public comment on two documents - a draft Pesticide Registration Notice
(draft PR Notice) entitled ``Pesticide Drift Labeling'' (PRN 2009-X)
and a draft explanatory document entitled ``Pesticide Drift Labeling
Interpretation.'' PR Notices are issued by the Office of Pesticide
Programs (OPP) to inform pesticide registrants and other interested
persons about important policies, procedures, and registration related
decisions, and serve to provide guidance to pesticide registrants and
OPP personnel. This particular draft PR Notice provides guidance to the
applicants and registrants of certain pesticide products for revising
labeling statements intended to protect people and other non-target
organisms and sites from adverse effects that may be caused by off-
target pesticide drift. The draft explanatory document provides
guidance for state and tribal regulatory officials responsible for
enforcement of user compliance with the requirements of pesticide
labeling on how to interpret the labeling statements contained in the
draft PR Notice. An additional supporting document, entitled ``Draft PR
Notice 2009-X: Additional Information and Questions for Commenters,''
provides background and supplemental information that explain the
Agency's rationale for its proposed guidance on drift labeling. This
document also requests responses by readers to specific questions
concerning draft PR Notice 2009-X. All three documents are available in
the public docket.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 4, 2010.
