II. Today’s Action 

A. What is the authority for this action? 

EPA is taking this action under 

section 408(e) the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 

346a(e), which allows EPA to establish 

a tolerance exemption under FFDCA 

section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a et se. 

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 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. . . . ’’ 

EPA performs a number of analyses to 

determine the risks from aggregate 

exposure to pesticide residues. For 

further discussion of the regulatory 

requirements of FFDCA section 408 and 

a complete description of the risk 

assessment process, see http://

www.epa.gov/pesticides/regulating/

tolerances.htm. 

B. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA, on its own initiative under 

FFDCA section 408(e), is establishing 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of various 

fragrance component substances 

identified at the end of this document. 

III. EPA’s Proposal 

In the Federal Register of July 25, 

2014 (79 FR 43350) (FRL–9910–53),

No. 112–42–5), valeraldehyde (CAS Reg. 

No. 110–62–3), and valeric acid (CAS 

Reg. No. 109–52–4) when used as 

fragrance components (i.e., inert 

ingredients) in antimicrobial pesticide 

formulations for use on food-contact 

surfaces in public eating places, dairyprocessing equipment, and foodprocessing equipment and utensils at 

end-use concentrations not to exceed 

100 parts per million (ppm). 

As discussed in that document, EPA 

has reviewed the available scientific 

data and other relevant information in 

support of this action, consistent with 

FFDCA section 408(c)(2), and the factors 

specified in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C 

and D). EPA has sufficient data to assess 

the hazards of and to make a 

determination on aggregate exposure for 

these various fragrance components 

including exposure resulting from the 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance established by this action. For 

a detailed discussion of the aggregate 

risk assessments and determination of 

safety that support the establishment of 

these exemptions from the requirement 

of a tolerance, please refer to the July 25, 

2014 Federal Register final rule and its 

supporting documents, available at 

http://regulations.gov. 

IV. Public Comments 

EPA received nine comments to the 

proposed rule. Six of the comments 

were fully supportive of the proposed 

rule. One comment made specific 

reference to the fragrance component 

acetaldehyde and stated that the risk 

assessment of acetaldehyde should 

reconsider the compound’s cancer risk. 

The comment noted that part of the 

safety finding for the fragrance 

components was based on no structural 

alerts for genotoxicity or carcinogenicity 

but in the case of acetaldehyde EPA had 

previously considered acetaldehyde to 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 97 / Wednesday, May 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 28841 

be a probable human carcinogen based 

on inadequate human cancer studies 

and animal studies that have shown 

increased incidence of nasal tumors in 

rats and laryngeal tumors in hamsters 

after inhalation exposure. The Agency 

agrees with the commenter that the 

safety analysis provided in the proposed 

rule, which relies on human exposure 

threshold values for non-cancer risks, is 

not applicable to acetaldehyde and 

therefore, cannot be used to support an 

exemption for acetaldehyde. As such, 

EPA is not establishing in this final rule 

an exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for acetaldehyde as a fragrance 

component for use in antimicrobial 

pesticide formulations for use on foodcontact surfaces in public eating places, 

dairy-processing equipment, and foodprocessing equipment and utensils at 

end-use concentrations not to exceed 

100 ppm. 

Two comments made reference to 

fragrance sensitivity among certain 

individuals. The Agency understands 

the commenter’s concerns, however the 

legal framework provided by FFDCA 

section 408 states that tolerances may be 

set when the pesticide chemical meets 

the safety standard imposed by that 

statute. The Agency is required by 

FFDCA section 408 to estimate the risk 

of the potential exposure to these 

residues. Neither the supporting 

information cited by the commenters or 

other reliable data demonstrate the 

occurrence of specific adverse effects 

directly attributable to exposures to the 

substances listed in Unit III and EPA 

has concluded that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result to the 

general population and to infants and 

children from aggregate exposure to the 

fragrance components listed in Unit III 

when used as inert ingredients in 

antimicrobial formulations for use on 

food contact surfaces in public eating 

places, dairy processing equipment, and 

food processing equipment and utensils 

at end-use concentrations not to exceed 

100 ppm. 

V. Final Rule and Determination of 

Safety 

Except for the exclusion of 

acetaldehyde, EPA is not making any 

changes to the risk assessment or final 

rule text that was proposed in July 25, 

2014 Federal Register. Therefore, EPA 

concludes that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result to the 

general population and to infants and 

children from aggregate exposure to 

acetic acid; allyl cylcohexylpropionate; 

butryic acid; butyl alcohol; citral; 

citronellol; citronellyl acetate; bdamascone, (Z)-; decanal; (E)-4-decenal; 

decanoic acid; 1-decanol; 2,6-dimethyl5-heptanal; 2-dodecanol, (2E)-; dlimonene; ethyl 2-methylbutyrate; (E)- 

geraniol; (E)-geraniol acetate; heptanal; 

heptanoic acid; heptyl alcohol; hexanal; 

hexanoic acid; (Z)-3-hexenol; (Z)-3- 

hexenol acetate; hexyl acetate; hexyl 

alcohol; lauric acid; lauric aldehyde; 

lauryl alcohol; methyl-a-ionone; 3- 

methyl-2-butenyl acetate; 2- 

methylundecanal; myristaldehyde; 

myristic acid; neryl acetate; n-hexanol; 

nonanal; nonanoic acid; nonyl alcohol; 

octanal; octanoic acid; 1-octanol; 

palmitic acid; propionic acid; stearic 

acid; 2-tridecanal; 3,5,5- 

trimethylhexanal; undecanal; undecyl 

alcohol; valeraldehyde; and valeric acid 

residues when used as when used as 

fragrance components (i.e., inert 

ingredients) in antimicrobial pesticide 

formulations for use on food-contact 

surfaces in public eating places, dairyprocessing equipment, and foodprocessing equipment and utensils at 

end-use concentrations not to exceed 

100 ppm. 

VI. Other Considerations 

A. 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. 

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 the fragrance components listed in 

Unit II above. 

VII. Conclusion 

Therefore, exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance are 

established for residues of acetic acid 

(CAS Reg. No. 64–19–7), allyl 

cyclohexyl propionate (CAS Reg. No. 

2705–87–5), butryic acid (CAS Reg. No.

VIII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes exemptions 

from the requirement of a tolerance 

under FFDCA section 408(e). The Office 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

28842 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 97 / Wednesday, May 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

of Management and Budget (OMB) has 

exempted tolerance actions from review 

under Executive Orders 12866, entitled 

Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563, 

entitled Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review (76 FR 3821, January 

21, 2011). As a result, 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). Nor does it require OMB 

review or any Agency action under 

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.); does not 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); and 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). 

This action directly regulates growers, 

food processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, but it does not regulate State 

or tribal governments. 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). Therefore, the Agency 

has determined that Executive Orders 

13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 

43255, August 10, 1999) and 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, 

contain any unfunded mandate, or 

otherwise significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments as described in 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency 

hereby certifies that this action will not 

have significant negative economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. Establishing an exemption from 

the requirement of a pesticide tolerance 

is, in effect, the removal of a regulatory 

restriction on pesticide residues in food 

and thus such an action will not have 

any negative economic impact on any 

entities, including small entities. 

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 

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).
