Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of the biochemical 

pesticide 1-octanol in or on root and 

tuber vegetables. D–I–1–4, Inc., a 

division of 1,4-Group, Inc., submitted a 

petition to EPA under the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

requesting an amendment to the 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. This regulation eliminates the 

need to establish a maximum 

permissible level for residues of 1- 

octanol in or on root and tuber 

vegetables.

II. Background and Statutory Findings 

In the Federal Register of August 1, 

2014 (79 FR 44729) (FRL–9911–67), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 

346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a 

pesticide tolerance petition (PP 3F8195) 

by D–I–1–4, Inc., a division of 1,4- 

Group, Inc. (the Petitioner), P.O. Box 

860, Meridian, ID 83360. The petition 

requested that 40 CFR part 180 be 

amended by establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of 1-octanol, applied postharvest to stored potatoes and other 

sprouting root and tuber crops. That 

document referenced a summary of the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 87 / Wednesday, May 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 25951 

petition prepared by the Petitioner, 

which is available in the docket, http:// 

www.regulations.gov. There were no 

comments received in response to the 

notice of filing. 

Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA 

allows EPA to establish an exemption 

from the requirement for a tolerance (the 

legal limit for a pesticide chemical 

residue in or on a food) only if EPA 

determines that the exemption is ‘‘safe.’’ 

Section 408(c)(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. Pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), in 

establishing or maintaining in effect an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance, EPA must take into account 

the factors set forth in FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(C), which require 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. . . . ’’ Additionally, 

EPA is required to take into account the 

factors set forth in FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(D). 

EPA performs a number of analyses to 

determine the risks from aggregate 

exposure to pesticide residues. First, 

EPA determines the toxicity of 

pesticides. Second, EPA examines 

exposure to the pesticide through food, 

drinking water, and through other 

exposures that occur as a result of 

pesticide use in residential settings. 

III. Toxicological Profile 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the 

available scientific data and other 

relevant information in support of this 

action and considered its validity, 

completeness and reliability, and the 

relationship of this information to 

human risk. EPA has also considered 

available information concerning the 

variability of the sensitivities of major 

identifiable subgroups of consumers, 

including infants and children. 

A. Overview of 1-Octanol 

1-Octanol, or octyl alcohol, is a linear 

saturated aliphatic alcohol containing 

eight carbons. It is classified as a 

biochemical pesticide and functions as 

a plant growth regulator (PGR) by 

inhibiting sprout growth on stored 

potatoes and other sprouting root and 

tuber crops when applied after 

harvesting. 

There is a significant history of 

human dietary exposure to 1-octanol. 1- 

Octanol occurs naturally in the essential 

oils of green tea, grapefruit, California 

orange, bitter orange, Turkish rose and 

Bulgarian rose. 1-Octanol has also been 

identified as a component of fried 

bacon, roasted filberts, raw and roasted 

earth almonds, mutton, chicken, pork, 

raw beef, frankfurters, nectarines, apple 

juice, common guava, Gruyere cheese 

and in foods processed from cassava 

root. The amount of 1-octanol has been 

quantified in some foods: Fermented 

soybean curds were found to contain 

164.8 to 337.1 micrograms per kilogram 

(ug/kg) of 1-octanol, and duck meat and 

duck fat were found to contain 1-octanol 

as a volatile component at 8.88 parts per 

billion (ppb) and 12.69 ppb, 

respectively. 1-Octanol is approved by 

the FDA for use as a direct food additive 

under 21 CFR 172.230 in microcapsules 

for flavoring substances and under 21 

CFR 172.515 as a synthetic flavoring 

substance and adjuvant. 

EPA has already determined under 

the FFDCA that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result from 

aggregate exposures to 1-octanol, when 

1-octanol is used as an inert ingredient 

(specifically as a solvent or co-solvent) 

in pesticide products applied to food. In 

addition, 1-octanol has been registered 

for use as an active ingredient to control 

tobacco sucker and as an inert 

ingredient for nonfood and fragrance 

uses. 

For a summary of the data upon 

which EPA relied, and its human health 

risk assessment based on that data, 

please refer to the March 13, 2015 

document entitled: ‘‘Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

Considerations for 1-Octanol’’ available 

in the docket for this action. 

B. Biochemical Pesticide Toxicology 

Data Requirements 

All applicable mammalian toxicology 

data requirements supporting the 

petition to establish an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for the 

use of 1-octanol as an active ingredient, 

post-harvest, on root and tuber 

vegetables have been fulfilled. No 

significant toxicological effects were 

observed in any of the acute toxicity 

studies and no toxic endpoints were 

established as a result of these studies. 

In addition, data and information 

submitted indicate that 1-octanol is not 

genotoxic. A developmental toxicity 

study (subchronic) revealed increased 

salivation (maternal) at 1,000 milligrams 

1-octanol per kilogram body weight 

(mg/kg); however, the Agency does not 

consider this to be an adverse effect 

because the effect occurs at a very high 

dose, much higher dose than the level 

at which humans are likely to be 

exposed, given the half-life of this 

substance and the classification of the 

pesticide: A plant growth regulator 

intended for use before long-term 

storage. EPA concludes that 1-octanol 

has no subchronic toxic effects and is 

not a developmental toxicant. There are 

no known effects of 1-octanol on 

endocrine systems via oral, dermal, or 

inhalation routes of exposure. 

IV. Aggregate Exposures 

In examining aggregate exposure, 

FFDCA section 408 directs EPA to 

consider available information 

concerning exposures from the pesticide 

residue in food and all other nonoccupational exposures, including 

drinking water from ground water or 

surface water and exposure through 

pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or 

buildings (residential and other indoor 

uses). 

A. Dietary Exposure 

The proposed use patterns may result 

in dietary exposure to 1-octanol, 

however, dietary exposure as a result of 

the application of 1-octanol to postharvest potatoes and other root tubers is 

expected to be insignificant. 1-Octanol 

is volatile and is expected to degrade in 

the atmosphere by reaction with 

photochemically-produced hydroxyl 

radicals; its half-life is estimated to be 

from 3.5 minutes to 1.3 days. The 

typical length of time between 

application of the pesticide and 

consumption of the potatoes will exceed 

this half-life. Therefore, residues of 1- 

octanol are unlikely to occur at the time 

of consumption. No significant exposure 

via drinking water is expected from its 

use as an active ingredient in this 

pesticide as 1-octanol is applied indoors 

only. Some dietary exposure is expected 

from the use of 1-octanol as an inert 

ingredient in pesticide formulations. 

Some dietary exposure to 1-octanol 

might occur through other nonpesticidal 

sources as a result of its natural 

presence in other foods or from its use 

as a food additive and flavoring 

substance. Should exposure occur, 

however, minimal to no risk is expected 

for the general population, including 

infants and children, due to the low 

toxicity of 1-octanol. 

B. Other Non-Occupational Exposure 

Other non-occupational exposure to 

1-octanol from pesticidal use may occur 

in tobacco products from its use on 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
25952 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 87 / Wednesday, May 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

tobacco or in or on other food and nonfood commodities, as a result of its use 

as a pesticide inert ingredient. However, 

minimal to no risk is expected for the 

general population, including infants 

and children, due to the low toxicity of 

this chemical as demonstrated in the 

data submitted and evaluated by the 

Agency, as fully explained in the March 

13, 2015 document entitled: ‘‘Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

Considerations for 1-Octanol’’ available 

in the docket for this action. 

V. Cumulative Effects From Substances 

With a Common Mechanism of Toxicity 

Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA 

requires that, when considering whether 

to establish, modify, or revoke a 

tolerance, the Agency consider 

‘‘available information’’ concerning the 

cumulative effects of a particular 

pesticide’s residues and ‘‘other 

substances that have a common 

mechanism of toxicity.’’ 

EPA has not found 1-octanol to share 

a common mechanism of toxicity with 

any other substances, and 1-octanol 

does not appear to produce a toxic 

metabolite produced by other 

substances. For the purposes of this 

tolerance action, therefore, EPA has 

assumed that 1-octanol does not have a 

common mechanism of toxicity with 

other substances. For information 

regarding EPA’s efforts to determine 

which chemicals have a common 

mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate 

the cumulative effects of such 

chemicals, see EPA’s Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative. 

VI. Determination of Safety for U.S. 

Population, Infants and Children 

FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides 

that, in considering the establishment of 

a tolerance or tolerance exemption for a 

pesticide chemical residue, EPA shall 

assess the available information about 

consumption patterns among infants 

and children, special susceptibility of 

infants and children to pesticide 

chemical residues, and the cumulative 

effects on infants and children of the 

residues and other substances with a 

common mechanism of toxicity. In 

addition, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) 

provides that EPA shall apply an 

additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety 

for infants and children in the case of 

threshold effects to account for prenatal 

and postnatal toxicity and the 

completeness of the database on toxicity 

and exposure, unless EPA determines 

that a different margin of safety will be 

safe for infants and children. This 

additional margin of safety is commonly 

referred to as the Food Quality 

Protection Act Safety Factor 

(FQPA)(SF). In applying this provision, 

EPA either retains the default value of 

10X, or uses a different additional or no 

safety factor when reliable data are 

available to support a different 

additional or no safety factor. 

As part of its qualitative assessment, 

EPA evaluated the available toxicity and 

exposure data on 1-octanol and 

considered its validity, completeness, 

and reliability, as well as the 

relationship of this information to 

human risk. EPA considers the toxicity 

database to be complete and has 

identified no residual uncertainty with 

regard to prenatal and postnatal toxicity 

or exposure. No hazard was identified 

based on the available studies; therefore, 

EPA concludes that there are no 

threshold effects of concern to infants, 

children, or adults from 1-octanol. As a 

result, EPA concludes that no additional 

margin of exposure (safety) is necessary. 

VII. Analytical Enforcement 

Methodology 

An analytical method is not required 

for enforcement purposes since the 

Agency is establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance 

without any numerical limitation. 

VIII. Conclusion 

Based on its assessment of 1-octanol, 

EPA concludes that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result to the 

general population, or to infants and 

children, from aggregate exposure to 1- 

octanol. Therefore, an amendment to the 

exemption of a tolerance is established 

for residues of 1-octanol in or on root 

and tuber vegetables. 

The Agency is issuing the exemption 

for residues on root and tuber vegetables 

instead of limiting this exemption to 

post-harvest indoor applications to root 

and tuber vegetables because these 

restrictions are not relevant to the 

FFDCA safety finding for 1-octanol. 

Those limitations are related to the use 

of the pesticide and regulated under 

FIFRA. 

IX. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final rule establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance 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 final rule has been exempted from 

review under Executive Order 12866, 

this final rule 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 final rule 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 exemption 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 final rule 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 final rule. 

In addition, this final rule does not 

impose any enforceable duty or contain 

any unfunded mandate as described 

under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (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 of 1995 

(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). 

X. 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 87 / Wednesday, May 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 25953 

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).
