II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance
In the Federal Register of September 30, 2020 (85 FR 61681) (FRL-
10014-74), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3),
21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
0E8827) by IR-4, IR-4 Project Headquarters, Rutgers, The State
University of New Jersey, 500 College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton,
NJ 08540. The petition requested the establishment of tolerances in 40
CFR 180.574 for residues of the herbicide fluazinam in or on multiple
commodities. For a complete list, please refer to the September 30,
2020 notification (85 FR 61681) (FRL-10014-74). Additionally, the
petitioner proposed removing established tolerances for residues of
fluazinam in or on the raw agricultural commodities; vegetable, legume,
edible podded, subgroup 6A, except pea at 0.10 ppm; pea and bean,
succulent shelled, subgroup 6B, except pea at 0.04 ppm; pea and bean,
dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C, except pea at 0.02 ppm;
vegetable, brassica leafy, group 5, except cabbage at 0.01 ppm; and
turnip, greens at 0.01 ppm. That document referenced a summary of the
petition prepared by ISK Biosciences, the registrant, which is
available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. Two comments were
received in response to the notice of filing. One was about geographic
pesticide concentration but not about fluazinam specifically, and the
other was associated with a different chemical.
Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA is
establishing tolerances at different levels than petitioned-for and
modified some of the commodity definitions used. The reasons for these
changes are explained in Unit IV.C.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable
information.''
This includes exposure through drinking water and in residential
settings but does not include occupational exposure. Section
408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special consideration to
exposure of infants and children to the pesticide chemical residue in
establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue . . . .''
Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for fluazinam including exposure
resulting from the tolerances established by this action. EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks associated with fluazinam follows.
In an effort to streamline its publications in the Federal
Register, EPA is not reprinting sections that repeat what has been
previously published for tolerance rulemakings of the same pesticide
chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical
remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between
tolerance rulemakings and republishing the same sections is
[[Page 52079]]
unnecessary; EPA considers referral back to those sections as
sufficient to provide an explanation of the information EPA considered
in making its safety determination for the new rulemaking.
EPA has previously published a number of tolerance rulemakings for
fluazinam, in which EPA concluded, based on the available information,
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm would result from
aggregate exposure to fluazinam and established tolerances for residues
of that chemical. EPA is incorporating previously published sections
from those rulemakings as described further in this rulemaking, as they
remain unchanged.
Toxicological profile. For a discussion of the Toxicological
Profile of fluazinam, see Unit III.A. of the April 8, 2016 rulemaking
(81 FR 20545) (FRL-9942-99).
Toxicological points of departure/Levels of concern. For a summary
of the Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern used for the
safety assessment, see Unit III.B. of the November 7, 2012 rulemaking
(77 FR 66723) (FRL-9366-6).
Exposure assessment. Much of the exposure assessment remains the
same, although some updates have occurred to accommodate exposures from
the petitioned-for tolerances. The updates are discussed in this
section.
The acute dietary analysis is based on tolerance-level residues for
all commodities and uses high-end residue estimates for the metabolite
3-[[4-amino-3-[[3-chloro-5- (trifloromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]amino]-2-
nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] thio]-2-(beta-Dglucopyranosyloxy)
propionic acid), known as AMGT. In addition, the acute assessment
assumes 100 percent crop treated (PCT) and incorporates modeled EDWCs
that account for both parent fluazinam and its transformation products.
The chronic dietary analysis is based on tolerance level residues for
all commodities except apples. For apples, the average field trial
value was used. As with the acute assessment, the chronic assessment
incorporates high-end estimates for AMGT and default processing factors
for all relevant processed commodities without a separate tolerance,
and modeled EDWCs that account for both parent and transformation
products. The chronic assessment also incorporated PCT data.
Anticipated residue and PCT information. Section 408(b)(2)(E) of
FFDCA authorizes EPA to use available data and information on the
anticipated residue levels of pesticide residues in food and the actual
levels of pesticide residues that have been measured in food. If EPA
relies on such information, EPA must require pursuant to FFDCA section
408(f)(1) that data be provided 5 years after the tolerance is
established, modified, or left in effect, demonstrating that the levels
in food are not above the levels anticipated. For the present action,
EPA will issue such data call-ins as are required by FFDCA section
408(b)(2)(E) and authorized under FFDCA section 408(f)(1). Data will be
required to be submitted no later than 5 years from the date of
issuance of these tolerances.
Section 408(b)(2)(F) of FFDCA states that the Agency may use data
on the actual percent of food treated for assessing chronic dietary
risk only if:
Condition a: The data used are reliable and provide a
valid basis to show what percentage of the food derived from such crop
is likely to contain the pesticide residue.
Condition b: The exposure estimate does not underestimate
exposure for any significant subpopulation group.
Condition c: Data are available on pesticide use and food
consumption in a particular area, and the exposure estimate does not
understate exposure for the population in such area.
In addition, the Agency must provide for periodic evaluation of any
estimates used. To provide for the periodic evaluation of the estimate
of PCT as required by FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(F), EPA may require
registrants to submit data on PCT.
The following average PCT estimates were used in the chronic
dietary risk assessments for the crops that are currently registered
for fluazinam: Apples (http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/about-water-exposure-models-used-pesticide.
Based on the FQPA Index Reservoir Screening Tool (FIRST) and
Pesticide Root Zone Model for Groundwater (PRZM-GW), EPA used an EDWC
of 226 ppb for the acute dietary assessment and 141 ppb in the chronic
dietary risk assessment.
Non-occupational exposure. See Unit III.C.3. of the April 8, 2016
rulemaking for a discussion of non-dietary exposure, which included
residential exposures to golf course turf.
Cumulative exposure. Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has
followed a cumulative risk approach based on a
[[Page 52080]]
common mechanism of toxicity, EPA has not made a common mechanism of
toxicity finding as to fluazinam and any other substances, and
fluazinam does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by
other substances. For the purposes of this action, therefore, EPA has
not assumed that fluazinam has a common mechanism of toxicity with
other substances.
Safety factor for infants and children. EPA continues to conclude
that there is reliable data to support the reduction of the Food
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor. See Unit III.D. of the
April 8, 2016 rulemaking for a discussion of the Agency's rationale for
that determination.
Aggregate risks and determination of safety. EPA determines whether
acute and chronic dietary pesticide exposures are safe by comparing
aggregate exposure estimates to the acute population adjusted dose
(aPAD) and chronic PAD (cPAD). Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term
risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate food, water,
and residential exposure to the appropriate points of departure to
ensure that an adequate margin of exposure (MOE) exists. For linear
cancer risks, EPA calculates the lifetime probability of acquiring
cancer given the estimated aggregate exposure.
Acute dietary risks are below the Agency's level of concern of 100%
of the aPAD: They are 37% of the aPAD for females 13 to 49 years old,
the population subgroup with the highest risk estimate. Chronic dietary
risks are below the Agency's level of concern of 100% of the cPAD: they
are 88% of the cPAD for all infants, the population subgroup with the
highest exposure estimate. The short-term aggregate risk assessments
resulted in MOEs that are greater than the Agency's level of concern of
100 and therefore are not of concern. The MOEs are 381 for children 6
to less than 11 years old; 470 for youths 11 to less than 16 years old;
and 420 for adults. Intermediate-term and long-term residential
exposures are not expected.
Therefore, based on the risk assessments and information described
above, EPA concludes there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to the general population, or to infants and children, from
aggregate exposure to fluazinam residues. More detailed information
about the Agency's analysis can be found at http://www.regulations.gov
in the document titled ``Fluazinam. Human Health Risk Assessment for
the Proposed Use on Individual Commodities of Proposed Crop Subgroup 6-
19B; Edible Podded Pea Legume Vegetable Subgroup, Crop Subgroup 6-19D:
Succulent Shelled Pea Subgroup, Crop Subgroup 6-19F: Dried Shelled Pea
Subgroup, Crop Subgroup 8-10A: Tomato Subgroup, Papaya, and Crop Group
Conversions.'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0245.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
For a discussion of the available analytical enforcement method,
see Unit IV.A of the April 8, 2016 rulemaking.
B. International Residue Limits
In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). No Codex MRLs have been established for fluazinam.
C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances
Most of the proposed commodity definitions have been modified to be
consistent with Agency nomenclature. In addition, EPA adjusted the
tolerances for the edible podded bean commodities by removing the
trailing zero to be consistent with the OECD Rounding Practice.
V. Conclusion

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This action establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408(d) in
response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this action has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerances and
modifications in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a
proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), do not apply.
This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or Tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
Tribal Governments, on the relationship between the National Government
and the States or Tribal Governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this
action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
VII. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
