II. Background and Statutory Findings 

EPA, on its own initiative, in 

accordance with FFDCA sections 408(e) 

and 408(l)(6) of, 21 U.S.C. 346a(e) and 

346a(1)(6), is establishing time-limited 

tolerances for residues of sulfoxaflor, N- 

[methyloxido[1-[6-(trifluoromethyl)-3- 

pyridinyl]ethyl]-l4- 

sulfanylidene]cyanamide, including its 

metabolites and degradates in or on 

sorghum, forage at 0.40 parts per million 

(ppm); sorghum, grain at 0.30 ppm; and 

sorghum, stover at 0.90 ppm. These 

time-limited tolerances expire on 

December 31, 2017. 

Section 408(l)(6) of FFDCA requires 

EPA to establish a time-limited 

tolerance or exemption from the 

requirement for a tolerance for pesticide 

chemical residues in food that will 

result from the use of a pesticide under 

an emergency exemption granted by 

EPA under FIFRA section 18. Such 

tolerances can be established without 

providing notice or period for public 

comment. EPA does not intend for its 

actions on FIFRA section 18 related 

time-limited tolerances to set binding 

precedents for the application of FFDCA 

section 408 and the safety standard to 

other tolerances and exemptions. 

Section 408(e) of FFDCA allows EPA to 

establish a tolerance or an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance on 

its own initiative, i.e., without having 

received any petition from an outside 

party. 

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. . . .’’ 

Section 18 of FIFRA authorizes EPA 

to exempt any Federal or State agency 

from any provision of FIFRA, if EPA 

determines that ‘‘emergency conditions 

exist which require such exemption.’’ 

EPA has established regulations 

governing such emergency exemptions 

in 40 CFR part 166. 

III. Emergency Exemption for 

Sulfoxaflor on Sorghum and FFDCA 

Tolerances 

Numerous states requested emergency 

exemptions for the use of sulfoxaflor on 

sorghum to control sugarcane aphid 

(Melanaphis sacchari). Based on 

information provided by the states, this 

is either a new pest or new biotype of 

M. sacchari. There are no registered 

insecticides or economically or 

environmentally feasible alternative 

control practices available to adequately 

control this non-routine pest infestation. 

Unusually high populations of aphids 

can cause direct plant death from aphid 

feeding as well as indirect damage and 

harvesting issues from the aphid 

honeydew residue. The states asserted 

that without the use of sulfoxaflor, 

uncontrolled aphid infestations are 

likely to result in significant economic 

losses. 

After having reviewed the 

submissions, EPA determined that an 

emergency condition exists for these 

States, and that the criteria for approval 

of an emergency exemption are met. 

EPA has authorized a specific 

exemption under FIFRA section 18 for 

the use of sulfoxaflor on sorghum for 

control of sugarcane aphid in Arkansas, 

Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, 

Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and 

Texas. 

As part of its evaluation of the 

emergency exemption application, EPA 

assessed the potential risks presented by 

residues of sulfoxaflor in or on sorghum. 

In doing so, EPA considered the safety 

standard in FFDCA section 408(b)(2), 

and EPA decided that the necessary 

tolerance under FFDCA section 408(l)(6) 

would be consistent with the safety 

standard and with FIFRA section 18. 

Consistent with the need to move 

quickly on the emergency exemption in 

order to address an urgent non-routine 

situation and to ensure that the resulting 

food is safe and lawful, EPA is issuing 

this tolerance without notice and 

opportunity for public comment as 

provided in FFDCA section 408(l)(6). 

Although these time-limited tolerances 

expire on December 31, 2017, under 

FFDCA section 408(l)(5), residues of the 

pesticide not in excess of the amounts 

specified in the tolerance remaining in 

or on sorghum after that date will not 

be unlawful, provided the pesticide was 

applied in a manner that was lawful 

under FIFRA, and the residues do not 

exceed a level that was authorized by 

these time-limited tolerances at the time 

of that application. EPA will take action 

to revoke these time-limited tolerances 

earlier if any experience with, scientific 

data on, or other relevant information 

on this pesticide indicate that the 

residues are not safe. 

Because these time-limited tolerances 

are being approved under emergency 

conditions, EPA has not made any 

decisions about whether sulfoxaflor 

meets FIFRA’s registration requirements 

for use on sorghum or whether 

permanent tolerances for this use would 

be appropriate. Under these 

circumstances, EPA does not believe 

that this time-limited tolerance decision 

serves as a basis for registration of 

sulfoxaflor by a State for special local 

needs under FIFRA section 24(c). Nor 

does this tolerance by itself serve as the 

authority for persons in any State other 

than those authorized to use this 

pesticide on the applicable crops under 

FIFRA section 18 absent the issuance of 

an emergency exemption applicable 

within that State. For additional 

information regarding the emergency 

exemption for sulfoxaflor, contact EPA’s 

Registration Division at the address 

provided under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

IV. 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 


wreier-aviles on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
4514 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 18 / Wednesday, January 28, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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. . . .’’ 

As part of its evaluation of the 

emergency exemption applications, EPA 

assessed the potential risks presented by 

residues of sulfoxaflor in or on sorghum, 

forage; sorghum, grain; and sorghum, 

stover. In doing so, EPA considered the 

safety standard in FFDCA section 

408(b)(2), and EPA decided that the 

necessary tolerances under FFDCA 

section 408(l)(6) would be consistent 

with the safety standard and with 

FIFRA section 18. 

EPA has evaluated this use of 

sulfoxaflor on sorghum, as well as its 

use on various other crops, and 

established tolerances for similar use 

patterns in the Federal Register of May 

17, 2013 (78 FR 29041) (FRL–9371–4) in 

association with requests for tolerances 

to support registrations of sulfoxaflor 

under FIFRA section 3 . 

Consistent with 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 expected as a result 

of this emergency exemption request 

and the time-limited tolerances for 

residues of sulfoxaflor in or on sorghum, 

forage at 0.40 ppm; sorghum, grain at 

0.30 ppm; and sorghum, stover at 0.90 

ppm. There is an existing permanent 

tolerance for sulfoxaflor residues in/on 

aspirated grain fractions at 20 ppm and 

that tolerance is sufficient to address 

residues in/on aspirated grain fractions 

that may come from sorghum. In 

addition, sorghum commodities may be 

used as livestock feedstuffs. Inclusion of 

sorghum in the estimated reasonable 

balances livestock dietary burdens for 

cattle, poultry, and swine did not result 

in a need for revision of the existing 

tolerances for residues of sulfoxaflor in 

livestock commodities. 

In the May 17, 2013 Federal Register, 

EPA published a final rule establishing 

tolerances for residues of sulfoxaflor in 

40 CFR 180.668 in or on numerous 

commodities. A summary of the 

toxicological endpoints for sulfoxaflor 

for human risk assessment is discussed 

in Units III.A. and B. of the May 17, 

2013 Federal Register final rule. 

In evaluating dietary exposure, the 

Agency has noted that estimated 

drinking water concentrations based on 

the sulfoxaflor use on sorghum resulted 

in lower estimates than those previously 

assessed and the food consumption 

database used to support the Agency’s 

dietary exposure assessments does not 

report any consumption of sorghum, 

either as grain or as syrup. Therefore, 

the dietary exposure estimates from the 

previous assessment are not changed by 

the FIFRA section 18 use. Dietary risk 

estimates from exposure to sulfoxaflor 

through food and water are below the 

Agency’s level of concern. 

In its aggregate assessment of 

exposures and risk associated with 

sulfoxaflor, EPA concluded the 

following: Acute dietary exposure from 

food and water to sulfoxaflor will 

occupy 16% of the acute population 

adjusted dose (aPAD) for children 1–2 

years old and females 13–49 years old, 

the population groups receiving the 

greatest exposure; and chronic exposure 

to sulfoxaflor from food and water will 

utilize 18% of the chronic population 

adjusted dose (cPAD) for all infants, the 

population group receiving the greatest 

exposure. These estimates are well 

below 100% and are, therefore, below 

the Agency’s level of concern. 

There are no residential uses of 

sulfoxaflor at this time. Consequently, 

aggregate exposure and risk estimates 

are equivalent to the dietary (food + 

drinking water) exposure and risk 

estimates discussed in this unit. 

Therefore, EPA concluded there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result to the general population and to 

infants and children from aggregate 

exposure to sulfoxaflor residues. 

Refer to the May 17, 2013 Federal 

Register final rule, available at http://

www.regulations.gov, for a summary of 

the aggregate risk assessment and 

determination of safety. Detailed 

discussion of the aggregate risk 

assessments and the determinations of 

safety relied upon in this action may be 

found in the Agency reviews and 

human health risk assessments provided 

as supporting documents in the docket 

for this action (EPA–HQ–OPP–2014–

0643). 

V. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

An adequate enforcement 

methodology is available to enforce the 

tolerance expression. In the submitted 

field trials, residues of sulfoxaflor and 

its metabolites in crops were 

determined using the Dow analytical 

method designated as 091031. The 

proposed method for tolerance 

enforcement in plant commodities is 

method 091116: ‘‘Enforcement Method 

for the Determination of Sulfoxaflor 

(XDE–208) and its Main Metabolites in 

Agricultural Commodities Using Offline 

Solid-Phase Extraction and Liquid 

Chromatography with Tandem Mass 

Spectrometry Detection.’’ Method 

091116 extracts residues with 

acetonitrile/water and includes use of a 

deuterated internal standard, hydrolysis 

with sodium hydroxide to release baselabile conjugates, and clean up via 

solid-phase extraction. This method is 

applicable for the quantitative 

determination of residues of sulfoxaflor, 

N-[methyloxido[1-[6-(trifluoromethyl)-3- 

pyridinyl]ethyl]-l4-sulfanylidene]cya

namide and its metabolites, X11719474, 

N-((methyl)oxido[1-[6-trifluoromethyl)

pyridine-3-yl]ethyl]- l4-sulfany

lidene)urea and X11721061, 1-[6-(trif

luoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl]ethanol, in 

agricultural commodities and processed 

products. The method was adequately 

validated, with a limit of quantitation 

(LOQ) of 0.010 milligram/kilogram (mg/ 

kg) for all matrices, including sorghum. 

The Food and Drug Administration 

Multi-Residue Method was reported by 

the registrant to be not suitable for 

analysis of sulfoxaflor and/or its 

metabolites; the German multi-residue 

Method S–19 may be suitable. 

The methods may be requested from: 

Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch, 

Environmental Science Center, 701 

Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755–5350; 

telephone number: (410) 305–2905; 

email address: residuemethods@

epa.gov. 

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). 

The Codex Alimentarius is a joint 

United Nations Food and Agriculture 

Organization/World Health 

Organization food standards program, 

and it is recognized as an international 

food safety standards-setting 

organization in trade agreements to 

which the United States is a party. EPA 

may establish a tolerance that is 

different from a Codex MRL; however, 

FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that 

EPA explain the reasons for departing 

from the Codex level. The Codex has not 

established a MRL for sulfoxaflor in/on 

sorghum commodities. 

VI. Conclusion 

Therefore, time-limited tolerances are 

established for residues of sulfoxaflor, 


wreier-aviles on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 18 / Wednesday, January 28, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 4515 

in or on sorghum, forage at 0.40 ppm; 

sorghum, grain at 0.30 ppm; and 

sorghum, stover at 0.90 ppm. These 

tolerances expire on December 31, 2017. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes tolerances 

under FFDCA sections 408(e) and 

408(l)(6). 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 in accordance with 

FFDCA sections 408(e) and 408(l)(6), 

such as the tolerances 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). 

VIII. 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).
