II. Summary of Petitioned-For 

Tolerance 

In the Federal Register of April 25, 

2016 (81 FR 24044) (FRL–9944–86), 

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 5F8427) by Geo 

Logic Corporation, P.O. Box 3091, 

Tequesta, FL 33409. The petition 

requested that 40 CFR 180.245 be 

amended by establishing tolerances for 

residues of streptomycin in or on citrus 

fruit, crop group 10–10 at 0.5 ppm and 

citrus, dried pulp at 3.5 ppm and by 

removing the existing tolerances for 

grapefruit. 

In addition, in the Federal Register of 

September 5, 2014 (79 FR 53009) (FRL– 

9914–98), 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 4E8236) by 

Interregional Research Project No. 4 

(IR–4), 500 College Road East, Suite 

201W, Princeton, NJ 08540. The petition 

requested the establishment of 

tolerances for residues of streptomycin 

in or on grapefruit at 0.15 ppm, 

grapefruit, dried pulp at 0.63 ppm, and 

fruit, pome, group 11–10 at 0.25, as well 

as several amendments to the existing 

tolerances in 40 CFR 180.245 as follows: 

(1) Moving the existing tolerances for 

streptomycin on celery, pepper, and 

tomato from paragraph (a)(2), and potato 

from paragraph (a)(3) to the table in 

paragraph (a)(1); (2) modifying the 

existing tolerance for tomato from 0.25 

ppm to 0.5 ppm; (3) removing the 

existing time-limited tolerances for 

grapefruit and grapefruit, dried pulp in 

paragraph (b) upon establishment of the 

permanent tolerances for grapefruit and 

grapefruit, dried pulp; (4) removing the 

existing tolerance for fruit, pome, group 

11 upon establishment of the tolerance 

for fruit, pome, group 11–10; and (5) 

modifying the tolerance expression and 

creating a single paragraph and table 

under § 180.245(a) to provide that in 

general tolerances are established for 

residues of the fungicide streptomycin, 

including its metabolites and 

degradates, in or on the commodities in 

the table to the paragraph. Compliance 

with the tolerance levels specified in the 

table is to be determined by measuring 

only streptomycin (O-2-Deoxy-2- 

(methylamino)-a-Lglucopyranosyl-(1-2)- 

O-5-deoxy-3-Cformyl-a-L-lyxofuranosyl- 

(1-4)-N,N′-bis(aminoiminomethyl)-Dstreptamine) in or on the commodity. 

The documents referenced summaries 

of the petitions prepared by the 

petitioners, which are available at 

http://www.regulations.gov. in the 

following dockets: EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2016–0067 for PP 5F8427 and EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2014–0134 for PP 4E8236. No 

comments were received in response to 

the notice of filing for PP 5F8427; 

eighteen comments were submitted in 

response to the notice of filing for PP 

4E8236 although none were relevant to 

the streptomycin tolerance. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petitions, EPA is 

establishing the tolerances at different 

levels than requested. 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 streptomycin 

including exposure resulting from the 

tolerances modified by this action. 

EPA’s assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with streptomycin 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 

tolerance rulemaking for streptomycin, 

in which EPA concluded, based on the 

available information, that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm would 

result from aggregate exposure to 

streptomycin 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. There are no 

guideline toxicity studies available to 

assess pesticidal uses of streptomycin. 

The toxicity of streptomycin was 

assessed using the extensive published 

literature on drug use of streptomycin in 

humans and in animals, as well as with 

several toxicity summaries provided by 

the FDA. Injections of streptomycin as 

a drug (up to a gram), at doses much 

higher than expected from dietary or 

residential routes of exposure to 

pesticidal uses, can cause inner ear 

toxicity resulting in vestibular problems 

with loss of balance or equilibrium. 

Injections also sometimes cause hearing 

loss and mild, reversible kidney 

toxicity. Children born to mothers 

treated with streptomycin injections 

have sometimes had hearing loss. No 

teratogenic effects were noted in a nonguideline rabbit developmental study. 

In a non-guideline 2-year rat feeding 

study, the only adverse effect noted was 

reduced body weight in males; an 

increase in treatment-related tumors 

was not reported. The acute oral toxicity 

for streptomycin is very low; the LD50

was 9,000 mg/kg in both rats and mice. 

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 IV.A. of the March 

15, 2017 rulemaking (82 FR 13759) 

(FRL–9957–65). 

Exposure Assessment. EPA’s dietary 

exposure assessments for the permanent 

tolerances on the citrus fruit crop group 

10–10 and dried citrus pulp relied on 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 8709 

tolerance-level residues for all crops and 

an assumption of 100 percent crop 

treated (PCT). EPA’s aggregate exposure 

assessment incorporated this assumed 

dietary exposure, as well as exposure in 

drinking water and from residential 

sources, which have not changed since 

the last assessment. The assessment also 

considered aggregate risk as a result of 

the pharmaceutical uses of 

streptomycin. For a description of the 

rest of the EPA approach to and 

assumptions for the exposure 

assessment, see Unit IV.B. of the March 

15, 2017 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 IV.C. 

of the March 15, 2017 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 

PODs 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. 

No acute effects were identified in the 

toxicological studies for streptomycin; 

therefore, acute risk is not expected. 

Chronic dietary risks are below the 

Agency’s level of concern of 100% of 

the cPAD: They are 91% of the cPAD for 

all infants less than 1 year old, the 

population subgroup with the highest 

exposure estimate. The short-term MOE 

is greater than the Agency’s level of 

concern of 100: It is 260 for adults, the 

population group of concern. 

Intermediate-term or long-term 

residential exposures are not expected. 

Lastly, because the pesticide exposure 

has no more than a minimal impact on 

the total dose to a pharmaceutical user, 

EPA believes that there is a reasonable 

certainty that the potential dietary 

pesticide exposure will result in no 

harm to a user being treated 

therapeutically with streptomycin. 

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 streptomycin residues. 

More detailed information about the 

Agency’s analysis can be found at 

http://www.regulations.gov in the 

document titled ‘‘Streptomycin. Section 

3 Registration for Citrus Fruits Crop 

Group 10–10’’ in docket ID number 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2016–0067. 

IV. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

A high-performance liquid 

chromatography method with tandem 

mass spectrometry detection (LC/MS/ 

MS) is available for tolerance 

enforcement. 

The method 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 has not established any 

MRLs for streptomycin. 

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For 

Tolerances 

The tolerances proposed by the 

petitioner for the citrus fruit crop group 

10–10 (0.50 ppm) and citrus dried pulp 

(3.5 ppm) are different from those which 

are being established by this document. 

This is primarily because the petitioner 

input the residue data differently into 

the calculation procedures for 

determining the proposed crop group 

tolerance (including all data for the 

representative crops into a single 

calculation). As a result, the tolerances 

are being established at 0.8 ppm for the 

fruit, citrus, crop group 10–10 and 3 

ppm for fruit, citrus, group 10–10, dried 

pulp. In addition, the commodity 

definitions were corrected to reflect the 

crop group. 

As a result of the IR–4 petition being 

withdrawn by the petitioner, EPA is not 

granting the request to establish the 

requested tolerances or to increase the 

tomato tolerance from 0.25 to 0.5 ppm. 

EPA is making the editorial changes 

requested by IR–4, however, including 

modifications to the tolerance 

expression and tables contained in 

paragraph (a) and removal of expired 

grapefruit tolerances from paragraph (b). 

V. Conclusion 

Therefore, tolerances are established 

for residues of streptomycin in or on 

Fruit, citrus, group 10–10 at 0.8 ppm 

and Fruit, citrus, group 10–10, dried 

pulp at 3 ppm. In addition, existing 

tolerances in 40 CFR 180.245 are 

amended as follows: (1) Consolidating 

the subparagraphs and tables in 

paragraph (a) into a single paragraph (a); 

(2) removing the time-limited tolerances 

for grapefruit and grapefruit, dried pulp, 

as they have expired; and (3) modifying 

the tolerance expression and creating a 

single paragraph and table under 

§ 180.245(a) to provide that in general 

tolerances are established for residues of 

the fungicide streptomycin, including 

its metabolites and degradates, in or on 

the commodities in the table to the 

paragraph. Compliance with the 

tolerance levels specified in the table is 

to be determined by measuring only 

streptomycin (O-2-Deoxy-2- 

(methylamino)-a-Lglucopyranosyl-(1-2)- 

O-5-deoxy-3-Cformyl-a-L-lyxofuranosyl- 

(1-4)-N,N′-bis(aminoiminomethyl)-Dstreptamine) in or on the commodity. 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes and modifies 

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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
8710 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

under FFDCA section 408(d), 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). 

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).
