Cyromazine; Pesticide Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule establishes

permanent tolerances for residues of

cyromazine (CAS No. 66215–27–8) in or

on mango at 0.3 parts per million (ppm);

onion, green at 2.0 ppm; onions, dry

bulb at 0.1 ppm; potato at 0.8 ppm;

corn, sweet, (kernels plus cob with

husks removed) at 0.5 ppm; corn, sweet,

forage at 0.5 ppm; corn, sweet, stover at

0.5 ppm; radishes, root at 0.5 ppm;

radishes, tops at 0.5 ppm; lima beans at

1.0 ppm; cotton, undelinted seed at 0.1

ppm; milk at 0.05 ppm; and meat, fat

and meat byproducts (of cattle, goat,

hogs, horses and sheep) at 0.05 ppm.

This final rule also removes melamine,

a metabolite of cyromazine from the

tolerance expression since it is no

longer considered a residue of concern.

The Interregional Research Project (IR–

4) and Novartis Crop Protection, Inc.

requested these tolerances under the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act,

as amended by the Food Quality

Protection Act of 1996.

DATES: This regulation is effective May

4, 2000. Objections and requests for

hearings, identified by docket control

number OPP–300913A, must be

received by EPA on or before July 3,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Written objections and

hearing requests may be submitted by

mail, in person, or by courier. Please

follow the detailed instructions for each

method as provided in Unit VI. of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. To ensure

proper receipt by EPA, your objections

and hearing requests must identify

docket control number OPP–300913A in

II. Background and Statutory Findings

In the Federal Register of September

15, 1999 (64 FR 50043) (FRL–6098–7),

EPA issued a proposed rule which

announced that Novartis Crop

Protection, Inc., 410 Swing Road,

Greensboro, NC 27419 and the

Interregional Research Project (IR-4) had

submitted pesticide petitions (PP)

5E4450, 5F4574, 6F4613, 5F4546,

6F3332, and 7E4905 pursuant to section

408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a

as amended by the Food Quality

Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) (Public

Law 104–170) proposing that 40 CFR

part 180 be amended by establishing a

tolerance for cyromazine in or on mango

at 0.3 parts per million (ppm); onion,

green at 2.0 ppm; onions, dry bulb at 0.1

ppm; potato at 0.8 ppm; corn, sweet,

(kernels plus cob with husks removed)

at 0.5 ppm; corn, sweet, forage at 0.5

ppm; corn, sweet, stover at 0.5 ppm;

radishes, root at 0.5 ppm; radishes, tops

at 0.5 ppm; lima beans at 1.0 ppm;

cotton, undelinted seed at 0.1 ppm; milk

at 0.05 ppm; and meat, fat and meat

byproducts (of cattle, goat, hogs, horses

and sheep) at 0.05 ppm. EPA received

one comment from a private citizen of

Australia alleging that the poor health of

a dog was due to cyromazine and stating

that long-term implications and studies

25858 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 87 / Thursday, May 4, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

had not been addressed in this petition.

In particular the citizen stated:

1. On 14 September 1999, an Adverse

Reaction Experience Report was submitted to

the National Registration Authority in

Australia on the use and subsequent illhealth of a dog after long-term ingestion of

cyromazine available in Australia as an oral

flea control. Period was some 4-5 years at 300

mg/day for 27 kg dog. The dog’s kidneys and

liver were enlarged and her immune system

dysfunctional. The cyromazine was

immediately stopped at a veterinarian’s

request and the dog’s organs continually

become less inflamed. The flea control tablet

was withdrawn from the market some 2 or 3

years ago, due to fatalities in a number of

animals due to liver failure. The product was

subsequently re-released with warning that

only dogs which had shown no reaction to

the ‘‘Decaflea’’ could use it.

2. If a factor of 10 or 100 is used from

animal reaction to allowable human

exposure, how does very short-term fatal

liver dysfunction in dogs equate to long-term

ingestion by humans, especially infants and

children. How does this equate to humans

who already have liver and kidney disease/

dysfunction?

3. Please refer to the following publications

available through PubMed at http://

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov: ‘‘Feeding cyromazine

to Luhmann hens: residues in tissues and

effects on some biochemical constituents.’’

Cyromazine was fed to Luhmann hens at 0.15

ppm level supplemented the basal diet for 3

weeks. The build up of cyromazine residues

in liver and muscles of hens up to 7th

day. . . .During the 3 weeks of feeding on

the treated diet, the accumulated residues

reduced the blood glucose and hepatic

protein significantly up to 2 weeks. . . .Also

such residues had adverse effects on the

activities of alkaline phosphates and

transaminase and extend on red blood cells,

white blood cells, hemoglobin content and

packed cell volume compared with the

untreated hens.

‘‘Effects of CGA-72662 (Larvadex) in

turkeys during rearing and reproduction’’

. . . The kidneys were characterized as

enlarged, nodular and cystic, containing

urate deposits and areas of necrosis.

I suggest that although short-term studies

have been carried out on cyromazine, the

long-term implications have not been

addressed in this petition.

Allowing increased levels of cyromazine in

foods loved by children, e.g., milk, mangoes

and sweet corn without long-term studies of

the effects of this toxin is tantamount to

negligence.

EPA responses to these comments

follows:

The cyromazine data base contains all

required studies, this includes

(sometimes with several studies for each

study category):

Acute oral toxicity in the rat

Acute dermal toxicity in the rabbit

Acute inhalation toxicity in the rat

Primary eye irritation in the rabbit

Primary dermal irritation in the rabbit

Dermal sensitization in the guinea pig

Subchronic oral toxicity in the rat (13

weeks)

Subchronic oral toxicity in the dog (13

weeks)

Subchronic dermal toxicity in the rabbit

(21 days)

Chronic oral toxicity in the rat (2 year)

Chronic oral toxicity in the dog (6 month)

Developmental toxicity in the rat

Developmental toxicity in the rabbit

Developmental toxicity in the rabbit with

postnatal

Multigeneration reproduction study in the

rat

Carcinogenicity study in the rat (2 year)

Carcinogenicity study in the mouse (2 year)

Mutagenicity battery

General metabolism in the rat

General metabolism in sheep

General metabolism in the chicken

General metabolism in the goat

General metabolism in the cow

Dermal absorption in the rat

All the required acute, short-term and

long-term studies have been conducted.

The Agency has assessed the long-term

human health effects from exposure to

cyromazine. The available dog studies

only indicate effects on the

hematological parameters (hematocrit

and hemoglobin levels); there was an

increase in liver weight in the 13–week

study, but this was not seen in any other

species. There was no indication of

effects in the dog on the liver (other

than weight, a normal physiological

response to metabolism of the

compound, no supportive

histopathology was noted), kidneys, or

on the immune system. The Agency

notes that ‘‘Decaflea’’ product

administered to the dog also contained

200 milligrams/tablet of

diethylcarbamazine citrate, an ethyl

carbamate and heartworm animal drug.

If the health effects seen in the dog were

treatment-related, the presence of this

compound should also have been

investigated as a possible cause.

In regards to the two open literature

studies cited, the Agency notes that the

first open literature study is an Egyptian

study in chickens looking at liver

function. The results indicate that the

liver was functioning normally to

detoxify the administered compound.

The second study was in turkeys

intended to assess the effects on

reproduction. This study utilized

extremely high doses (up to 2 grams per

kilogram diet). These are doses that

exceeded even our limit doses. Since

the turkey is one of the treated species

for fly control, this study was not an

evaluation of the reproductive effects,

but rather a true toxicity study

(producing adverse effects) as opposed

to hazard studies used by EPA to

evaluate potential hazards to humans.

The investigators had to reduce one

dose due to palatability problems (the

turkeys would not eat the treated diet).

The kidney effects were due to an

overburdening of the organ from the

extremely high doses. The Agency

conducted open literature searches to

determine if there was any report of

adverse effects not reported previously

and no additional information was

found.

As stated previously and as indicated

in the September 15, 1999 Federal

Register proposal for cyromazine, the

Agency has sufficient data to assess the

short- and long-term hazards of

cyromazine with special consideration

to the sensitivity of infants and children

from exposure to cyromazine as

required by the FQPA.

The petitions requested that 40 CFR

180.414 be amended by establishing a

tolerance for residues of the insecticide

cyromazine, in or on mango at 0.3 parts

per million (ppm); onion, green at 2.0

ppm; onions, dry bulb at 0.1 ppm;

potato at 0.8 ppm; corn, sweet, (kernels

plus cob with husks removed) at 0.5

ppm; corn, sweet, forage at 0.5 ppm;

corn, sweet, stover at 0.5 ppm; radishes,

root at 0.5 ppm; radishes, tops at 0.5

ppm; lima beans at 1.0 ppm; cotton,

undelinted seed at 0.1 ppm; milk at 0.05

ppm; and meat, fat and meat byproducts

(of cattle, goat, hogs, horses and sheep

at 0.05 ppm. Based on the risk

assessments discussed in the proposed

rule and the findings made therein, the

Agency concludes that there is a

reasonable certainty that no harm will

result to the U.S. population and to

infants and children from aggregate

exposure to residues of cyromazine.

Therefore, tolerances are established as

set forth below.

III. Objections and Hearing Requests

Under section 408(g) of the FFDCA, as

amended by the FQPA, any person may

file an objection to any aspect of this

regulation and may also request a

hearing on those objections. The EPA

procedural regulations which govern the

submission of objections and requests

for hearings appear in 40 CFR part 178.

Although the procedures in those

regulations require some modification to

reflect the amendments made to the

FFDCA by the FQPA of 1996, EPA will

continue to use those procedures, with

appropriate adjustments, until the

necessary modifications can be made.

The new section 408(g) provides

essentially the same process for persons

to ‘‘object’’ to a regulation for an

exemption from the requirement of a

tolerance issued by EPA under new

section 408(d), as was provided in the

old FFDCA sections 408 and 409.

However, the period for filing objections

is now 60 days, rather than 30 days.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 87 / Thursday, May 4, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 25859

A. What Do I Need to Do to File an

characters and any form of encryption.

Copies of electronic objections and

hearing requests will also be accepted

on disks in WordPerfect 6.1/8.0 file

format or ASCII file format. Do not

include any CBI in your electronic copy.

You may also submit an electronic copy

of your request at many Federal

Depository Libraries.

B. When Will the Agency Grant a

Request for a Hearing?

A request for a hearing will be granted

if the Administrator determines that the

material submitted shows the following:

There is a genuine and substantial issue

of fact; there is a reasonable possibility

that available evidence identified by the

requestor would, if established resolve

one or more of such issues in favor of

the requestor, taking into account

uncontested claims or facts to the

contrary; and resolution of the factual

issues(s) in the manner sought by the

requestor would be adequate to justify

the action requested (40 CFR 178.32).

IV. Regulatory Assessment

Requirements

This final rule establishes 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). 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., or impose any

enforceable duty or contain any

unfunded mandate as described under

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public

Law 104–4). Nor does it require any

prior consultation as specified by

Executive Order 13084, entitled

Consultation and Coordination with

Indian Tribal Governments (63 FR

27655, May 19, 1998); special

considerations as required by Executive

Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to

Address Environmental Justice in

Minority Populations and Low-Income

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,

1994); or 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 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). Since

tolerances and exemptions that are

established on the basis of a petition

under FFDCA section 408(d), 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. In addition, the

Agency has determined that this action

will not have a substantial direct effect

on States, on the relationship between

the national government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government, as specified in

Executive Order 13132, entitled

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,

1999). Executive Order 13132 requires

EPA to develop an accountable process

to ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input

by State and local officials in the

development of regulatory policies that

have federalism implications.’’ ‘‘Policies

that have federalism implications’’ is

defined in the Executive Order to

25860 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 87 / Thursday, May 4, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

include regulations that have

‘‘substantial direct effects on the States,

on the relationship between the national

government and the States, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government.’’ This final rule

directly regulates growers, food

processors, food handlers and food

retailers, not States. This action does not

alter the relationships or distribution of

power and responsibilities established

by Congress in the preemption

provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4).

V. Submission to Congress and the

Comptroller General

The Congressional Review Act, 5

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before a rule may take effect, the

agency promulgating the rule must

submit a rule report, which includes a

copy of the rule, 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 a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by

5 U.S.C. 804(2).
