II. Petition for Exemption 

In the Federal Register of Monday, 

April 25, 2016 (81 FR 24046) (FRL– 

9944–86), EPA issued a document 

pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 

U.S.C. 346a, announcing the filing of a 

pesticide petition (PP IN–10815) by 

Keller and Heckman LLP (1001 G Street 

NW., Suite 500 West, Washington, DC 

20001), on behalf of CP Kelco U.S., Inc 

(3100 Cumberland Blvd., Suite 600, 

Atlanta, GA 30339). The petition 

requested that 40 CFR 180.910 and 40 

CFR 180.940 be amended by 

establishing an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of D-glucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-Dglucan, acetate, calcium magnesium 

potassium sodium salt (diutan gum) 

(CAS Reg. No. 595585–15–2) when used 

as an inert ingredient stabilizer/

suspension agent in pesticide 

formulations applied to crops pre- and 

post-harvest and to food contact 

surfaces. That document referenced a 

summary of the petition prepared by 

Keller and Heckman on behalf of CP 

Kelco U.S., Inc., the petitioner, which is 

available in the docket, http://

comments of substance received in 

response to the notice of filing. 

III. Inert Ingredient Definition 

Inert ingredients are all ingredients 

that are not active ingredients as defined 

in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are 

not limited to, the following types of 

ingredients (except when they have a 

pesticidal efficacy of their own): 

Solvents such as alcohols and 

hydrocarbons; surfactants such as 

polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty 

acids; carriers such as clay and 

diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as 

carrageenan and modified cellulose; 

wetting, spreading, and dispersing 

agents; propellants in aerosol 

dispensers; microencapsulating agents; 

and emulsifiers. The term ‘‘inert’’ is not 

intended to imply nontoxicity; the 

ingredient may or may not be 

chemically active. Generally, EPA has 

exempted inert ingredients from the 

requirement of a tolerance based on the 

low toxicity of the individual inert 

ingredients. 

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and 

Determination of Safety 

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 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. . . .’’ 

EPA establishes exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance only in those 

cases where it can be clearly 

demonstrated that the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide 

chemical residues under reasonably 

foreseeable circumstances will pose no 

appreciable risks to human health. In 

order to determine the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide inert 

ingredients, the Agency considers the 

toxicity of the inert in conjunction with 

possible exposure to residues of the 

inert ingredient through food, drinking 

water, and through other exposures that 

occur as a result of pesticide use in 

residential settings. If EPA is able to 

determine that a finite tolerance is not 

necessary to ensure that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result from aggregate exposure to the 

inert ingredient, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance may be 

established. 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(c)(2)(A), and the factors specified in 

FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), 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 D-glucurono-6- 

deoxy-L-manno-D-glucan, acetate, 

calcium magnesium potassium sodium 

salt (diutan gum) including exposure 

resulting from the exemption 

established by this action. EPA’s 

assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with D-glucurono-6-deoxy-Lmanno-D-glucan, acetate, calcium 

magnesium potassium sodium salt 

(diutan gum) follows. 

A. Toxicological Profile 

EPA has evaluated the available 

toxicity data and considered their 

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. Specific 

information on the studies received and 

the nature of the adverse effects caused 

by D-glucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-Dglucan, acetate, calcium magnesium 

potassium sodium salt (diutan gum) as 

well as the no-observed-adverse-effectlevel (NOAEL) and the lowest-observedadverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the 

toxicity studies are discussed in this 

unit. 

D-glucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-Dglucan, acetate, calcium magnesium 

potassium sodium salt (diutan gum) 

exhibits low levels of acute toxicity. The 

oral lethal dose (LD)50 in the rat is 

greater than 5 grams/kilograms (g/kg) 

(5,000 milligrams/kilograms (mg/kg)). 

The inhalation lethal concentration 

(LC)50 in the rat is > 0.316 milligram/

Liter (mg/L) (∼81.9 mg/kg). It is 

minimally irritating to the rabbit eye. It 

is not an irritant to the rabbit skin and 

it was not a skin sensitizer in DunkinHartley guinea pigs. 

In a 28-day repeat dose oral toxicity 

(OECD Test Guideline 407) study there 

were no treatment-related adverse 

toxicological effects at doses up to 1,000 

mg/kg/day. The NOAEL is 1,000 mg/kg/ 

day. 

The reverse gene mutation assay with 

Salmonella typhimurium and 

Escherichia coli and a chromosome 

aberration test with human lymphocytes 

show that the compound is neither 

mutagenic nor clastogenic, respectively. 

In a metabolism study in male and 

female rats the compound was absorbed, 

metabolized and excreted rapidly. The 

major route of excretion was the feces. 

There was no bioaccumulation. 

No toxicological point of departure 

(toxicological endpoint) was identified 

due to the low levels of toxicity 

exhibited and due to the very large 

molecular weight and lack of systemic 

absorption. 

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. 

No toxicological point of departure 

(toxicological endpoint) was identified 

due to the low levels of acute and 

subchronic toxicity exhibited and due to 

the very large molecular weight and lack 

of systemic absorption. 

C. Exposure Assessment 

1. Dietary exposure from food and 

feed uses. In evaluating dietary 

exposure to D-glucurono-6-deoxy-Lmstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 38103 

manno-D-glucan, acetate, calcium 

magnesium potassium sodium salt 

(diutan gum), EPA considered exposure 

under the proposed exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. EPA 

assessed dietary exposures from Dglucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-D-glucan, 

acetate, calcium magnesium potassium 

sodium salt (diutan gum) in food as 

follows: 

Dietary exposure can occur from 

eating foods containing residues of Dglucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-D-glucan, 

acetate, calcium magnesium potassium 

sodium salt (diutan gum). Because no 

hazard endpoint of concern was 

identified for acute and chronic dietary 

assessment (food and drinking water), a 

quantitative dietary exposure risk 

assessment was not conducted. 

2. Dietary exposure from drinking 

water. Residues of D-glucurono-6- 

deoxy-L-manno-D-glucan, acetate, 

calcium magnesium potassium sodium 

salt (diutan gum) might be found in 

drinking water. However, since no 

toxicological endpoint of concern was 

identified for dietary risk assessment 

(food and drinking water), a quantitative 

dietary was not conducted. 

3. From non-dietary exposure. The 

term ‘‘residential exposure’’ is used in 

this document to refer to nonoccupational, non-dietary exposure 

(e.g., textiles (clothing and diapers), 

carpets, swimming pools, and hard 

surface disinfection on walls, floors, 

tables). 

D-glucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-Dglucan, acetate, calcium magnesium 

potassium sodium salt (diutan gum) 

could be used in products that could 

result in short- or intermediate-term 

residential exposures. However, based 

on the lack of toxicity, a quantitative 

exposure assessment from residential 

exposures was not performed. 

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 D-glucurono-6- 

deoxy-L-manno-D-glucan, acetate, 

calcium magnesium potassium sodium 

salt (diutan gum) to share a common 

mechanism of toxicity with any other 

substances, and D-glucurono-6-deoxy-Lmanno-D-glucan, acetate, calcium 

magnesium potassium sodium salt 

(diutan gum) does not appear to 

produce a toxic metabolite produced by 

other substances. For the purposes of 

this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has 

assumed that D-glucurono-6-deoxy-Lmanno-D-glucan, acetate, calcium 

magnesium potassium sodium salt 

(diutan gum) 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 

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 

Food Quality Protection Act Safety 

Factor (FQPA 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. 

Based on an assessment of Dglucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-D-glucan, 

acetate, calcium magnesium potassium 

sodium salt (diutan gum), EPA 

concluded that there are no 

toxicological endpoints of concern for 

the U.S. population, including infants 

and children. As part of its qualitative 

assessment, the Agency did not use 

safety factors for assessing risk and no 

additional safety factor is needed for 

assessing risk to infants and children. 

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 acute PAD (aPAD) and 

chronic PAD (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. 

Based on the lack of any toxicological 

endpoints of concern, 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 residues of 

D-glucurono-6-deoxy-L-manno-Dglucan, acetate, calcium magnesium 

potassium sodium salt (diutan gum). 

V. 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. 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance is established 

under 40 CFR 180.910 and 40 CFR 

180.940(a) for D-glucurono-6-deoxy-Lmanno-D-glucan, acetate, calcium 

magnesium potassium sodium salt 

(diutan gum) (CAS Reg. No. 595585–15– 

2) when used as an inert ingredient 

(stabilizer/suspension agent) in 

pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops pre- and post-harvest and 

to food contact surfaces. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance 

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). 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 exemption 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. 

mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with RULES

38104 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

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).
