II. Summary of Petitioned-For 

Tolerance 

In the Federal Register of April 15, 

2020 (85 FR 20910) (FRL–10006–54), 

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 9E8806) 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 that 40 CFR part 180 be 

amended by establishing tolerances for 

residues of benzovindiflupyr (N-[9- 

(dichloromethylene)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro1,4-methanonaphthalen-5-yl]-3- 

(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole4-carboxamide) in or on the raw 

agricultural commodities Blueberry, 

lowbush at 2 parts per million (ppm) 

and Ginseng at 0.3 ppm. That document 

referenced a summary of the petition 

prepared by Syngenta, the registrant, 

which is available in the docket EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2020–0066, http://

www.regulations.gov. There were no 

comments received in response to the 

notice of filing. 

In the Federal Register of February 4, 

2020 (85 FR 6129) (FRL–10003–17), 

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 9F8772) by 

Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, P.O. 

Box 18300, Greensboro, NC, 27419. The 

petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 

be amended by establishing tolerances 

for residues of benzovindiflupyr in or 

on the raw agricultural commodities 

Beet, sugar, dried pulp at 0.15 ppm; 

Beet, sugar, roots at 0.08 ppm; and Beet, 

sugar, tops at 0.06 ppm. That document 

referenced a summary of the petition 

prepared by Syngenta, the registrant, 

which is available in the docket EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2019–0586, http://

www.regulations.gov. One relevant 

comment was received in response to 

the notice of filing. EPA’s response to 

this comment is discussed in Unit IV.C. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition, EPA is 

establishing several tolerances at 

different levels than were petitioned for 

and is also modifying a commodity 

definition. The reason for these changes 

is explained in Unit IV.D. 

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 benzovindiflupyr 

including exposure resulting from the 

tolerances established by this action. 

EPA’s assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with benzovindiflupyr 

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 

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 

benzovindiflupyr, in which EPA 

concluded, based on the available 

information, that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm would result 

from aggregate exposure to 

benzovindiflupyr 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 

benzovindiflupyr, see Unit III.A. of the 

June 22, 2018 rulemaking (83 FR 29033) 

(FRL–9977–94). 

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 

October 2, 2015 rulemaking (80 FR 

59627) (FRL–9933–03). 

Exposure Assessment. Much of the 

exposure assessment remains the same, 

although some updates have occurred to 

accommodate exposures from the 

petitioned-for tolerances and reflect 

changes to the non-dietary, nonoccupational exposure assessment. The 

updates are discussed in this section; for 

a description of the rest of the EPA 

approach to and assumptions for the 

exposure assessment, see Unit III.C. of 

the June 22, 2018 rulemaking. 

EPA’s dietary exposure assessments 

have been updated to include the 

additional exposure from the new uses 

of benzovindiflupyr on lowbush 

blueberry, ginseng, and sugar beet. The 

assessment used the same assumptions 

concerning 100 percent crop treated and 

tolerance-level residues as the June 22, 

2018 final rule. Drinking water 

exposures are not impacted by the new 

uses, and thus have not changed since 

the last assessment. 

There have been two updates to the 

residential exposure assessment since 

the June 22, 2018 final rule. The 

updated assessment no longer assesses 

risks to residential handlers, since the 

label requirements for handlers to wear 

specific clothing and to use personal 

protective equipment (PPE) are 

presumed to indicate that these 

products are not intended for 

homeowner use; thus, there is no 

residential handler exposure. The 

consideration of the new turf use does 

not change previous conclusions about 

post-application risk exposures. 

EPA’s conclusions concerning 

cumulative risk remain unchanged from 

the June 22, 2018 rulemaking. 

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 June 22, 2018 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 dietary exposure 

estimates to the acute population 

adjusted dose (aPAD) and the chronic 

population adjusted dose (cPAD). 

Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term 

risks are evaluated by comparing the 

estimated aggregate food, water, and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
8706 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

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 44% of the aPAD for 

children 1 to 2 years old, the population 

subgroup with the highest exposure 

estimate. Chronic dietary risks are 

below the Agency’s level of concern of 

100% of the cPAD: They are 19% of the 

cPAD for children 1 to 2 years old, the 

population subgroup with the highest 

exposure estimate. Because the chronic 

dietary risks are below EPA’s level of 

concern, EPA also concludes that 

benzovindiflupyr will not pose a cancer 

risk. The short-term aggregate MOE 

(food, water, and residential) is 500 for 

children 1 to 2 years old. This MOE 

exceeds the target level of concern of 

100, so it is not of concern. There are 

no intermediate or long-term residential 

exposures. 

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 benzovindiflupyr residues. 

More detailed information about the 

Agency’s analysis can be found at 

http://www.regulations.gov in the 

documents titled ‘‘Benzovindiflupyr. 

Human Health Risk Assessment for the 

Proposed New Food Use on Lowbush 

Blueberries and Ginseng and New NonFood Uses.’’ in docket ID number EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2020–0066 and 

‘‘Benzovindiflupyr. Human Health Risk 

Assessment for the Proposed New Use 

on Sugar Beets’’ in docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2019–0586. 

IV. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

For a discussion of the available 

analytical enforcement method, see Unit 

IV.A. of the June 22, 2018 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). 

There are no benzovindiflupyr Codex 

MRLs established for blueberries, 

ginseng, or sugar beets. 

C. Response to Comments 

Although three comments were 

submitted to the docket in response to 

the February 4, 2020 Notice of Filing, 

only one specifically related to this 

tolerance action. The commenter 

requested that EPA deny Syngenta’s 

request for tolerances for 

benzovindiflupyr on sugar beets out of 

a concern for the general health impacts 

of pesticides. 

Although the Agency recognizes that 

some individuals believe that pesticides 

should be banned on agricultural crops, 

the existing legal framework provided 

by section 408 of the FFDCA authorizes 

EPA to establish tolerances when it 

determines that the tolerance is safe. 

Upon consideration of the validity, 

completeness, and reliability of the 

available data as well as other factors 

the FFDCA requires EPA to consider, 

EPA has determined that the 

benzovindiflupyr tolerances are safe. 

The commenter has provided no 

information indicating that a safety 

determination cannot be supported. 

D. Revisions to Petitioned-For 

Tolerances 

Based on available residue data and 

using the Organization for Economic 

Cooperation and Development (OECD) 

calculator, EPA has determined that it is 

appropriate to set the tolerance level for 

beet, sugar, dried pulp at 0.6 ppm rather 

than as proposed at 0.15 ppm. Also, the 

tolerance is being established on ‘‘Beet, 

sugar, leaves’’ rather than ‘‘Beet, sugar, 

tops’’ to be consistent with Agency 

nomenclature; this tolerance is being 

established at 0.07 ppm rather than 0.06 

ppm. 

V. Conclusion 

Therefore, tolerances are established 

for residues of benzovindiflupyr in or 

on beet, sugar, dried pulp at 0.6 ppm; 

beet sugar, leaves at 0.07 ppm; beet, 

sugar, roots at 0.08 ppm; blueberry, 

lowbush at 2 ppm; and ginseng at 0.3 

ppm. 

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), nor is it considered a 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

13771, entitled ‘‘Reducing Regulations 

and Controlling Regulatory Costs’’ (82 

FR 9339, February 3, 2017). 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 8707 

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).
