II. Summary of Petitioned-for Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of May 19, 2010 (75 FR 28009) (FRL-8823-2), 
EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 
346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 0F7695) 
by BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC. The 
petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing 
tolerances for residues of the fungicide ametoctradin, including its 
metabolites and degradates, in or on brassica, head and stem, subgroup 
5A at 12 parts per million (ppm); brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B 
at 50 ppm; grape at 5.0 ppm; grape, raisin at 8 ppm; hop, dried cones 
at 9 ppm; onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A at 1.2 ppm; onion, green, 
subgroup 3-07B at 16 ppm; vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 at 4.5 ppm; 
vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 at 2 ppm; vegetable, leafy, except 
brassica, group 4, at 70 ppm, and vegetable, tuberous and corm, 
subgroup 1C at 0.05 ppm. That notice referenced a summary of the 
petition prepared by BASF Corporation, the registrant, which is 
available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no 
comments received in response to the notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has 
proposed different tolerance levels under a cooperative global review 
process. The reason for these changes are 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 section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors 
specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, 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 ametoctradin including 
exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action. 
EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with ametoctradin 
follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its 
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of 
the results of the studies 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.
    In toxicity testing with ametoctradin, no single dose or repeated 
dose study performed by any route of exposure produced a significant 
toxic effect up to or within 75-80% of the limit dose (1000 mg/kg/day). 
This includes the studies performed with the ametoctradin metabolites. 
There was also no evidence of carcinogenicity or mutagenicity and 
therefore ametoctradin is considered ``Not Likely to Be Carcinogenic to 
Humans''.
    Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the 
adverse effects caused by ametoctradin as well as the no-observed-
adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-
level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in document ``BAS 650 F (Ametoctradin): Human 
Health Risk Assessment for the Proposed New Fungicide Active 
Ingredient,'' at p. 10 in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0261.

 B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA 
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of 
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the 
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no 
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for 
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed 
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to 
determine the dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL) 
and the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified 
(the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are used in conjunction with 
the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--generally referred to as a 
population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe 
margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes 
that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the 
Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of 
the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the 
general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete 
description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/riskassess.htm. Based on the available data, 
there were no adverse acute or chronic effects identified as to any 
population groups (including infants and children).

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary

[[Page 27132]]

exposure to ametoctradin, EPA considered exposure under the petitioned-
for tolerances. EPA assessed dietary exposures from ametoctradin in 
food as follows:
    i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk 
assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide, if a toxicological 
study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring 
as a result of a 1-day or single exposure. No such effects were 
identified in the toxicological studies for ametoctradin; therefore, a 
quantitative acute dietary exposure assessment is unnecessary.
    ii. Chronic exposure. No chronic dietary exposure assessment was 
conducted because no chronic effect of concern was identified in the 
available data.
    iii. Cancer. Based on the data summarized in Unit III.A., EPA has 
concluded that ametoctradin does not pose a cancer risk to humans. 
Therefore, a dietary exposure assessment for the purpose of assessing 
cancer risk is unnecessary.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. Exposure to ametoctradin 
via drinking water from the proposed uses is expected to be minimal 
based on its short half life in soil. Ametoctradin degradates (F01, 
F02, F03, F04) are likely to contribute much greater drinking water 
exposure because they are more persistent and more mobile than the 
parent. However, no adverse effects were observed in the submitted 
toxicological studies for ametoctradin regardless of the route of 
exposure. Thus, no drinking water exposure assessments are needed.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is 
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary 
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control, 
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets). Ametoctradin is not 
registered for homeowner uses; however, some of the proposed uses could 
be used by commercial applicators in areas that residential 
postapplication exposure could occur (i.e., ornamentals on golf courses 
or in residential landscapes). No adverse effects were observed in the 
submitted toxicological studies for ametoctradin regardless of the 
route of exposure. Thus, no residential handler or postapplication 
exposure assessments are needed.
    4. 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 ametoctradin to share a common mechanism of 
toxicity with any other substances, and ametoctradin does not appear to 
produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the 
purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that 
ametoctradin 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.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA 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 based on reliable data that a 
different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This 
additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA Safety 
Factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either retains the default 
value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety factor when 
reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a different 
factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. Based on the complete 
database, there were no adverse effects noted in the developmental 
toxicity or reproductive toxicity studies.
    3. Conclusion. Based on review of the available ametoctradin 
toxicological studies, no toxicological points of departure where 
selected for ametoctradin and thus, an additional safety factor to 
protect children is not needed. That decision is based on the following 
findings:
    i. The toxicity database for ametoctradin is complete.
    ii. There is no indication that ametoctradin is a neurotoxic 
chemical and there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study 
or additional UFs to account for neurotoxicity.
    iii. There is no evidence that ametoctradin results in increased 
susceptibility in in utero rats or rabbits in the prenatal 
developmental studies or in young rats in the 2-generation reproduction 
study.
    iv. There are no concerns identified with regard to exposure to 
ametoctradin and thus there are no uncertainties identified in the 
exposure databases.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    EPA determines whether acute and chronic dietary pesticide 
exposures are safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the 
aPAD and cPAD. For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the lifetime 
probability of acquiring cancer given the estimated aggregate exposure. 
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 MOE exists.
    1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into 
account acute exposure estimates from dietary consumption of food and 
drinking water. No adverse effect resulting from a single oral exposure 
was identified and no acute dietary endpoint was selected. Therefore, 
ametoctradin is not expected to pose an acute risk.
    2. Chronic risk. No adverse effect resulting from a chronic 
exposure was identified and no chronic endpoint was selected. 
Therefore, ametoctradin is not expected to pose a chronic risk.
    3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into 
account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food 
and water (considered to be a background exposure level). Because no 
short-term adverse effect was identified, ametoctradin is not expected 
to pose a short-term risk.
    4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure 
takes into account intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic 
exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure 
level). Because no intermediate-term adverse effect was identified, 
ametoctradin is not expected to pose a intermediate-term risk.
    5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Based on the lack of 
evidence of carcinogenicity in two adequate rodent carcinogenicity 
studies, ametoctradin is not expected to pose a cancer risk to humans.
    6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, 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 ametoctradin residues.

V. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology using liquid chromatography tandem 
mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is available to enforce the tolerance 
expression. 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 Alimentarius is a joint U.N. 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 ametoctradin.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-for Tolerances

    Ametoctradin is a candidate for global registration in the USA, 
Australia, and Canada and import tolerance establishment in the 
European Union (EU) for varying uses. Under a cooperative joint review 
process, harmonized MRLs were proposed by the Agency, the Pesticide 
Management Regulatory Agency of Canada (PMRA), and the EU.
    Although much effort was made to harmonize with the EU proposed 
import-MRLs, there remained a few crops (celery, broccoli, cucumber and 
hops) where the proposed global registration recommended MRLs differed. 
This is primarily because EU's practice for setting MRLs is to lower 
the MRL as much as possible hence they try to assign MRLs to selected 
individual crops within a crop group as opposed to assigning a crop 
group MRL which is normally higher than all the estimated MRLs for 
individual crops. This approach is impractical for North American Free 
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) regions as there are other crops within a crop 
group petitioned for registration.
    The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) 
MRL calculation procedures used to estimate the proposed MRLs. The MRLs 
were derived using the average of individual residue data points from 
each field trial conducted at maximum applications rates and the lowest 
PHI, and assuming the presence of adjuvants (as indicated on the 
proposed labels). In estimating MRLs for crop groups, the highest 
estimated MRL for individual representative crops were selected.
    For some crops, field trials were conducted at concentrated and 
diluted solutions. In these cases, MRLs were chosen using only the 
residue data for applications with concentrated solution if the 
concentrated solution residue data showed significant differences from 
the whole residue dataset (concentrated and diluted solution 
applications).

 V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of ametoctradin, 
including its metabolites and degradates, in or on brassica, head and 
stem, subgroup 5A at 9.0 ppm; brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B at 50 
ppm; grape at 4.0 ppm; grape, raisin at 8.0 ppm; hop, dried cones at 10 
ppm; onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A at 1.5 ppm; onion, green, subgroup 3-
07B at 20 ppm; spinach at 50 ppm; vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 at 3.0 
ppm; vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 at 1.5 ppm; vegetable, leafy, 
except brassica, group 4, except spinach at 40 ppm; and vegetable, 
tuberous and corm, subgroup 1C at 0.05 ppm.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of 
FFDCA 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 section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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) (Pub. L. 104-4).
    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), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 
note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to 
the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 this final rule in the Federal 
Register. This final rule is not

[[Page 27134]]

a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
