II. Summary of Petitioned-for Tolerance 

In the Federal Register of May 23, 

2012 (77 FR 30481) (FRL–9347–8), 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 1F7956) by Syngenta Crop 

Protection, LLC., P.O. Box 18300, 

Greensboro, NC 24719. The petition 

requested that 40 CFR 180.485 be 

amended by establishing tolerances for 

residues of the fungicide cyproconazole, 

in or on peanut, hay at 6.0 parts per 

million (ppm), and peanut, nutmeat; 

peanut, meal; peanut, butter; and 

peanut, refined oil at 0.03 ppm. That 

document referenced a summary of the 

petition prepared by Syngenta Crop 

Protection, the registrant, which is 

available in the docket, http:// 

www.regulations.gov. There were no 

substantive comments received in 

response to the notice of filing. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition, EPA has 

modified the requested tolerance levels 

and crops for which tolerances were 

needed. 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
