AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 180 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2010–0262; FRL–8842–1] 

Acephate, Cacodylic Acid, Dicamba, 

Dicloran, et al.; Tolerance Actions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is revoking certain 

tolerances for the fungicides dicloran 

and thiophanate-methyl; the herbicides 

EPTC, hexazinone, picloram, and 

propazine; the defoliant and herbicide 

cacodylic acid; the plant growth 

regulator and herbicide diquat, the 

insecticides disulfoton, 

methamidophos, methomyl, phosmet, 

piperonyl butoxide, pyrethrins, and 

thiodicarb; the fumigant antimicrobial 

and insecticide methyl bromide, and the 

nematicides/insecticides ethoprop and 

fenamiphos, and the tolerance 

exemptions for the insecticide/miticide 

pyrethrum and insecticide synergist Noctyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide. 

However, EPA will not revoke specific 

malathion tolerances at this time. In 

addition, EPA is removing certain 

expired tolerances for disulfoton, 

fenamiphos, and thiophanate-methyl. 

Also, EPA is modifying certain 

tolerances for the fungicide thiophanatemethyl, herbicides dicamba, EPTC, 

hexazinone and picloram, and 

insecticide synergist N-octyl 

bicycloheptene dicarboximide. In 

addition, EPA is establishing new 

tolerances for the fungicide thiophanatemethyl and the herbicides EPTC, 

hexazinone, and picloram. Also, EPA is 

reinstating specific tolerances for 

methamidophos residues as a result of 

the application of the insecticide 

acephate. The regulatory actions 

finalized in this document are in followup to the Agency’s reregistration 

program under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), and tolerance reassessment 

program under the Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), section 

408(q). 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

September 29, 2010. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before November 29, 2010, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

In the Federal Register of May 19, 

2010 (75 FR 28155) (FRL–8821–3), EPA 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 60233 

issued a proposal to revoke, modify, and 

establish specific tolerances for residues 

of the fungicides dicloran and 

thiophanate-methyl; the herbicides 

dicamba, EPTC, hexazinone, picloram, 

and propazine; the defoliant and 

herbicide cacodylic acid; the plant 

growth regulator and herbicide diquat, 

the insecticides disulfoton, malathion, 

methamidophos, methomyl, phosmet, 

piperonyl butoxide, pyrethrins, and 

thiodicarb; the fumigant, antimicrobial, 

and insecticide, methyl bromide, and 

the nematicides/insecticides, ethoprop 

and fenamiphos, and the tolerance 

exemptions for the insecticide/miticide 

pyrethrum and insecticide synergist Noctyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide. In 

addition, EPA proposed to remove 

certain expired tolerances for 

disulfoton, fenamiphos, and 

thiophanate-methyl, and to reinstate 

specific tolerances for methamidophos 

residues as a result of the application of 

the insecticide acephate. Also, the 

proposal of May 19, 2010 (75 FR 28155) 

provided a 60–day comment period 

which invited public comment for 

consideration and for support of 

tolerance retention under FFDCA 

standards. 

In this final rule, EPA is revoking, 

modifying, and establishing specific 

tolerances/tolerance exemptions for 

residues of cacodylic acid, dicamba, 

dicloran, diquat, disulfoton, EPTC, 

ethoprop, fenamiphos, hexazinone, 

methamidophos, methomyl, methyl 

bromide, N-octyl bicycloheptene 

dicarboximide, phosmet, picloram, 

piperonyl butoxide, propazine, 

pyrethrins, pyrethrum, thiodicarb, and 

thiophanate-methyl in or on 

commodities listed in the regulatory text 

of this document. Also, EPA is removing 

certain expired tolerances for 

disulfoton, fenamiphos, and 

thiophanate-methyl, and reinstating 

specific tolerances for methamidophos 

residues as a result of the application of 

the insecticide acephate. 

EPA is finalizing these tolerance 

actions in order to implement the 

tolerance recommendations made 

during the reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment processes (including 

follow-up on canceled or additional 

uses of pesticides). As part of these 

processes, EPA is required to determine 

whether each of the amended tolerances 

meets the safety standard of FFDCA. 

The safety finding determination of 

‘‘reasonable certainty of no harm’’ is 

discussed in detail in each 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) 

and Report on FQPA Tolerance 

Reassessment Progress and Interim Risk 

Management Decision (TRED) for the 

active ingredient. REDs and TREDs 

recommend the implementation of 

certain tolerance actions, including 

modifications, to reflect current use 

patterns, to meet safety findings and 

change commodity names and 

groupings in accordance with new EPA 

policy. Printed copies of many REDs 

and TREDs may be obtained from EPA’s 

National Service Center for 

Environmental Publications (EPA/ 

NSCEP), P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, 

OH 45242–2419; telephone number: 1– 

800–490–9198; fax number: 1–513–489– 

8695; Internet at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ncepihom and from the National 

Technical Information Service (NTIS), 

5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 

22161; telephone number: 1–800–553– 

6847 or (703) 605–6000; Internet at 

http://www.ntis.gov. Electronic copies of 

REDs and TREDs are available on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

and http:// www.epa.gov/pesticides/ 

reregistration/status.htm. 

In this final rule, EPA is revoking 

certain tolerances and/or tolerance 

exemptions because either they are no 

longer needed or are associated with 

food uses that are no longer registered 

under FIFRA in the United States. 

Those instances where registrations 

were canceled were because the 

registrant failed to pay the required 

maintenance fee and/or the registrant 

voluntarily requested cancellation of 

one or more registered uses of the 

pesticide active ingredient. The 

tolerances revoked by this final rule are 

no longer necessary to cover residues of 

the relevant pesticides in or on 

domestically treated commodities or 

commodities treated outside but 

imported into the United States. It is 

EPA’s general practice to issue a final 

rule revoking those tolerances and 

tolerance exemptions for residues of 

pesticide active ingredients on crop uses 

for which there are no active 

registrations under FIFRA, unless any 

person in comments on the proposal 

indicates a need for the tolerance or 

tolerance exemption to cover residues in 

or on imported commodities or legally 

treated domestic commodities. 

EPA has historically been concerned 

that retention of tolerances that are not 

necessary to cover residues in or on 

legally treated foods may encourage 

misuse of pesticides within the United 

States. 

Generally, EPA will proceed with the 

revocation of these tolerances on the 

grounds discussed in Unit II.A. if one of 

the following conditions applies: 

• Prior to EPA’s issuance of a FFDCA 

section 408(f) order requesting 

additional data or issuance of a FFDCA 

section 408(d) or (e) order revoking the 

tolerances on other grounds, 

commenters retract the comment 

identifying a need for the tolerance to be 

retained. 

• EPA independently verifies that the 

tolerance is no longer needed. 

• The tolerance is not supported by 

data that demonstrate that the tolerance 

meets the requirements under FQPA. 

In response to the proposal published 

in the Federal Register of May 19, 2010 

(75 FR 28155), EPA received comments 

during the 60–day public comment 

period, as follows: 

1. Disulfoton— comment by Bayer 

CropScience. The commenter requested 

that the Agency delay revocation of the 

disulfoton tolerances proposed in the 

Federal Register of May 19, 2010 (75 FR 

28155) because of communications 

received from trade channels and 

growers who claim that they will not 

exhaust their existing stocks for 

disulfoton use on those crops by EPA’s 

proposed revocation dates. Therefore, 

Bayer CropScience requested that the 

Agency delay tolerance revocation by an 

additional 5 years. 

Agency response. In a follow-up 

communication with the Agency, Bayer 

CropScience provided disulfoton sales 

information over a recent period of 

years. The Agency has considered the 

information that Bayer provided 

together with the Agency’s data on 

disulfoton production, sales, inventory, 

and use, and determined that there is a 

need for more time to exhaust existing 

stocks. The Agency believes that 

extending tolerance revocation by 1 

additional year for lima and succulent 

snap beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, 

cabbage, cauliflower, cotton, coffee 

green beans, and asparagus, and by 2 

additional years for head and leaf 

lettuce would allow sufficient time to 

exhaust existing stocks. Therefore, EPA 

is revoking the tolerances in 40 CFR 

180.183(a) on bean, lima; bean, snap, 

succulent; broccoli; Brussels sprouts; 

cabbage; cauliflower; and cotton, 

undelinted seed with expiration/ 

revocation dates of December 31, 2013, 

the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.183(a) on 

lettuce, head and lettuce, leaf with 

expiration/revocation dates of December 

31, 2014, the tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.183(a) on coffee, green bean with an 

expiration/revocation date of June 30, 

2014, and the tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.183(c) on asparagus with an 

expiration/revocation date of December 

31, 2013. 

In addition, EPA is finalizing all other 

amendments proposed concerning 

disulfoton in the Federal Register of 

May 19, 2010 (75 FR 28155). 

2. EPTC—comment by Gowan 

Company. The commenter from Gowan 

requested that EPA delay revocation of 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES2
60234 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

the EPTC tolerance on vegetable, root at 

0.1 ppm until the Agency has reviewed 

residue data on carrots, which it had 

earlier submitted to the California 

Department of Pesticide Regulation 

(CDPR) to support a Special Local Need 

(SLN) in California. The commenter 

stated that CDPR had reviewed the 

carrot data and granted the SLN in 2008, 

and that the company would submit the 

residue data for EPTC on carrots to the 

Agency by July 30, 2010. 

Agency response. Recently, the 

Agency received magnitude of residue 

data for EPTC in/on carrots from Gowan 

Company. The Agency will consider the 

data for carrots and therefore, will not 

take any action on the vegetable, root 

tolerance in 40 CFR 180.117(a) at this 

time. Also, the Agency will not establish 

any of the proposed individual 

tolerances for beet, garden, roots; beet, 

sugar, roots; potato; and sweet potato, 

roots at this time. However, EPA is 

finalizing all other amendments 

proposed concerning EPTC in the 

Federal Register of May 19, 2010 (75 FR 

28155). 

3. Ethoprop—comment by Bayer 

CropScience. The commenter requested 

that the Agency not revoke the tolerance 

for ethoprop on pineapple. The 

commenter stated that there is still a 

need for the tolerance to cover 

pineapples imported into the United 

States. Bayer CropScience is also 

prepared to support an import tolerance 

where necessary. 

Agency response. Because Bayer 

CropScience has stated a continued 

need for the tolerance on pineapple in 

40 CFR 180.262(a), the Agency will not 

take any action on the tolerance at this 

time with a footnote to denote that there 

are no registrations on pineapple in the 

United States as of July 23, 2009, except 

for existing stocks bearing old labeling 

whose sale, distribution, and use is 

allowed, provided it is consistent with 

the terms of the cancellation order of 

July 9, 2009. The proposed revocation, 

with a proposed effective date of 

January 9, 2011, had been based on the 

Agency’s belief that pineapple treated 

with existing stocks of ethoprop bearing 

old labeling whose sale, distribution, 

and use is allowed, provided it is 

consistent with the terms of the 

cancellation order of July 9, 2009, 

would have cleared the channels of 

trade by that time, about 1 year after the 

registrant was last permitted to sell and 

distribute stocks of the amended 

registration (concerning pineapple use 

deletion). Under that amended 

registration, the Agency will continue to 

allow the registrant to sell and distribute 

existing stocks of products bearing the 

old labeling for 18 months after July 9, 

2009; i.e., until January 9, 2011. Also, 

the Agency will continue to allow 

persons other than the registrant to sell 

and distribute those existing stocks of 

products bearing the old labeling and 

use of them until exhaustion, consistent 

with the terms of the cancellation order 

of July 9, 2009. 

However, EPA is revoking the 

tolerances for ethoprop in 40 CFR 

180.262(a) on corn, pop, grain and corn, 

pop, stover and revising the 

introductory text containing the 

tolerance expression in 40 CFR 

180.262(a). 

4. Malathion—i. comment by 

Cheminova, Inc.. The commenter from 

Cheminova requested that the Agency 

not revoke any existing tolerance in 40 

CFR 180.111 for malathion until the 

Agency can establish a tolerance for 

inadvertent residues to cover critical 

uses including public health mosquito 

and fly control, exotic/imported pest 

suppression and eradication programs, 

grasshopper/mormon cricket 

suppression programs, and other 

quarantine programs administered or 

directed by the United States 

Department of Agriculture and 

Individual states. In addition to its 

general concerns, Cheminova requested 

that animal tolerances for malathion in 

40 CFR 180.111 be retained since the 

Agency’s human health risk assessment 

did not have a health-related concern 

that necessitated revocation of animal 

tolerances and to avoid trade irritant 

issues that may arise from mistaken 

views about use of malathion on animal 

feed products. Also, the commenter 

requested that the tolerances on nonmedicated cattle feed concentrate blocks 

(residues resulting from malathion 

application to paper used in packaging) 

and citrus, dried pulp (residues 

resulting from malathion application to 

bagged citrus pulp during storage) in 40 

CFR 180.111 not be revoked to avoid 

trade barriers concerning pre-harvest 

use of malathion related to any animal 

feed commodity, and cited orange 

processing data that showed a need for 

the establishment of a citrus, dried pulp 

tolerance as a result of foliar application 

of malathion to citrus. 

ii. Comments by American Mosquito 

Control Association (AMCA), the Texas 

Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, 

Inc., and the National Cotton Council of 

America (NCC). The commenters 

requested that the Agency not revoke 

existing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.111 

for malathion because of boll weevil and 

public health mosquito control use of 

malathion in the vicinity of crop 

commodities, including cotton, and the 

potential for inadvertent deposition of 

malathion residues on adjacent crops. 

iii. Comment by the United States 

Department of Agriculture’s Animal and 

Public Health Inspection Service. The 

commenter requested that the Agency 

not revoke existing tolerances for bagged 

citrus pulp and peanut, hay in 40 CFR 

180.111 for malathion because of pest 

control use of malathion in citrus groves 

and areas adjoining cotton and peanut 

fields; and the potential for inadvertent 

deposition of malathion residues on 

adjacent crops. 

Agency response. Malathion 

tolerances for animal commodities were 

originally based on use patterns 

involving direct animal treatments with 

malathion. Subsequently, direct animal 

treatment uses were not supported for 

reregistration, eliminating this exposure 

pathway. In the malathion 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision 

(RED), tolerances on livestock 

commodities were recommended to be 

revoked based on no active registrations 

for direct animal treatment and 

available ruminant and poultry 

metabolism data at exaggerated feeding 

rates of malathion-treated livestock 

feeds, from which EPA concluded that 

no residues of malathion or malaoxon 

occur in eggs, milk, and animal tissues 

as a result of dietary exposure to these 

animals. However, the Agency intends 

to reevaluate its decision on whether 

livestock commodity tolerances may be 

needed based on pending and recently 

reviewed livestock feed item residue 

data that were not available at the time 

of the RED. Therefore, the Agency will 

defer its decision of whether to revoke 

the livestock commodity tolerances 

until all required livestock feed residue 

data have been received and reviewed. 

Also, the Agency is not finalizing 

tolerance actions at this time on plant 

commodity tolerances in 40 CFR 

180.111 which had been proposed for 

revocation in the Federal Register on 

May 19, 2010 (75 FR 28155). However, 

the Agency is revising the commodity 

terminology for ‘‘bean, dry seed’’ to 

‘‘bean, dry, seed.’’ 

5. Methamidophos—comment by 

Bayer CropScience. The commenter 

requested that the Agency delay 

revocation of the methamidophos 

tolerances on cotton, potato, and tomato 

because of communications received 

from trade channels and growers who 

claim that they will not exhaust their 

existing stocks for methamidophos use 

on those crops by EPA’s proposed 

revocation dates. Therefore, Bayer 

CropScience requested that the Agency 

delay tolerance revocation for the three 

crop commodities from December 31, 

2012 by an additional 3 years. 

Agency response. In a follow-up 

communication with the Agency, Bayer 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 60235 

CropScience agreed that 1 additional 

year for methamidophos use would 

allow sufficient time to exhaust existing 

stocks; i.e., tolerance revocation on 

December 31, 2013. Because there is a 

need for more time to exhaust existing 

stocks of methamidophos for use on 

cotton, potato, and tomato, EPA is 

extending the time by 1 year and 

revoking the tolerances in 40 CFR 

180.315 on cotton, undelinted seed, 

potato, and tomato with expiration/ 

revocation dates of December 31, 2013. 

Also, EPA is redesignating 40 CFR 

180.315(b) as 40 CFR 180.315(c), 

removing the tolerance on tomato from 

40 CFR 180.315(a) and transferring it to 

newly designated and revised 40 CFR 

180.315(c), and increasing the tolerance 

on tomato to 2.0 ppm. 

In addition, EPA is finalizing all other 

amendments proposed concerning 

methamidophos in the Federal Register 

of May 19, 2010 (75 FR 28155). 

6. Methomyl—comment by DuPont 

Crop Protection. Regarding the proposed 

revocation of the methomyl tolerance on 

leeks at 3.0 ppm, a commenter asked if 

in the future, DuPont submits an action 

to add leeks to the methomyl labels 

whether that use on leeks would be 

covered per 40 CFR 180.1(g) by the 

existing tolerance of 3 ppm on onion, 

green in 40 CFR 180.253. 

Agency response. There have been no 

active food-use registrations for use of 

methomyl on leeks in the United States 

for more than 10 years, and therefore the 

tolerance is no longer needed. 

Therefore, EPA is revoking the tolerance 

in 40 CFR 180.253(a) on leeks. If in 

future, DuPont submits an action to add 

leeks to methomyl labels, the Agency 

would consider if data are needed, and 

whether a tolerance level of 3 ppm for 

onion, green in 40 CFR 180.253 is 

appropriate per 40 CFR 180.1(g) to cover 

use on leeks or a new tolerance should 

be established separately on leeks. 

Also, EPA is revoking the tolerances 

for methomyl in 40 CFR 180.253(a) on 

strawberry and watercress. 

The Agency did not receive any 

specific comments, during the 60–day 

comment period, on the following 

pesticide active ingredients: Acephate, 

cacodylic acid, dicamba, dicloran 

(DCNA), diquat, fenamiphos, 

hexazinone, methyl bromide, N-octyl 

bicycloheptene dicarboximide (MGK264), phosmet, picloram, piperonyl 

butoxide, propazine, pyrethrins, 

pyrethrum, thiodicarb, and thiophanatemethyl. Therefore, EPA is finalizing the 

amendments proposed concerning these 

pesticide active ingredients in the 

Federal Register of May 19, 2010 (75 FR 

28155). For a detailed discussion of the 

Agency’s rationale for the 

establishments, revocations, and 

modifications to the tolerances/ 

tolerance exemptions, refer to the 

proposed rule of May 19, 2010 (75 FR 

28155). 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

EPA may issue a regulation 

establishing, modifying, or revoking a 

tolerance under FFDCA section 408(e). 

In this final rule, EPA is establishing, 

modifying, and revoking tolerances to 

implement the tolerance 

recommendations made during the 

reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment processes, and as followup on canceled uses of pesticides. As 

part of these processes, EPA is required 

to determine whether each of the 

amended tolerances meets the safety 

standards under FFDCA. The safety 

finding determination is found in detail 

in each post-FQPA RED and TRED for 

the active ingredient. REDs and TREDs 

recommend the implementation of 

certain tolerance actions, including 

modifications to reflect current use 

patterns, to meet safety findings, and 

change commodity names and 

groupings in accordance with new EPA 

policy. Printed and electronic copies of 

the REDs and TREDs are available as 

provided in Unit II.A. 

EPA has issued REDs for acephate, 

cacodylic acid, dicamba, dicloran 

(DCNA), diquat, disulfoton, EPTC, 

ethoprop, malathion, methamidophos, 

methomyl, methyl bromide, N-octyl 

bicycloheptene dicarboximide, 

phosmet, picloram, piperonyl butoxide, 

pyrethrins, pyrethrum (see pyrethrins), 

thiodicarb, and thiophanate-methyl, and 

TREDs for hexazinone, methyl bromide, 

and propazine. REDs and TREDs 

contain the Agency’s evaluation of the 

database for these pesticides, including 

statements regarding additional data on 

the active ingredients that may be 

needed to confirm the potential human 

health and environmental risk 

assessments associated with current 

product uses, and REDs state conditions 

under which these uses and products 

will be eligible for reregistration. The 

REDs and TREDs recommended the 

establishment, modification, and/or 

revocation of specific tolerances. RED 

and TRED recommendations such as 

establishing or modifying tolerances, 

and in some cases revoking tolerances, 

are the result of assessment under the 

FFDCA standard of ‘‘reasonable 

certainty of no harm.’’ However, 

tolerance revocations recommended in 

REDs and TREDs that are made final in 

this document do not need such 

assessment when the tolerances are no 

longer necessary. 

EPA’s general practice is to revoke 

tolerances for residues of pesticide 

active ingredients on crops for which 

FIFRA registrations no longer exist and 

on which the pesticide may therefore no 

longer be used in the United States. EPA 

has historically been concerned that 

retention of tolerances that are not 

necessary to cover residues in or on 

legally treated foods may encourage 

misuse of pesticides within the United 

States. Nonetheless, EPA will establish 

and maintain tolerances even when 

corresponding domestic uses are 

canceled if the tolerances, which EPA 

refers to as ‘‘import tolerances,’’ are 

necessary to allow importation into the 

United States of food containing such 

pesticide residues. However, where 

there are no imported commodities that 

require these import tolerances, the 

Agency believes it is appropriate to 

revoke tolerances for unregistered 

pesticides in order to prevent potential 

misuse. 

When EPA establishes tolerances for 

pesticide residues in or on raw 

agricultural commodities, the Agency 

gives consideration to possible pesticide 

residues in meat, milk, poultry, and/or 

eggs produced by animals that are fed 

agricultural products (for example, grain 

or hay) containing pesticides residues 

(40 CFR 180.6). If there is no reasonable 

expectation of finite pesticide residues 

in or on meat, milk, poultry, or eggs, 

then tolerances do not need to be 

established for these commodities (40 

CFR 180.6(b) and 180.6 (c)). 

C. When Do These Actions Become 

Effective? 

With the exception of certain 

tolerances for cacodylic acid, dicloran, 

disulfoton, methamidophos, and methyl 

bromide for which EPA is revoking with 

specific expiration/revocation dates, the 

Agency is revoking, modifying, and 

establishing specific tolerances, and 

revising specific tolerance 

nomenclatures effective on the date of 

publication of this final rule in the 

Federal Register. With the exception of 

the revocation of specific tolerances for 

cacodylic acid, dicloran, disulfoton, 

methamidophos, and methyl bromide, 

the Agency believes that existing stocks 

of pesticide products labeled for the 

uses associated with the revoked 

tolerances have been completely 

exhausted and that treated commodities 

have had sufficient time for passage 

through the channels of trade. EPA is 

revoking the cacodylic acid tolerance on 

cotton, undelinted seed with an 

expiration date of January 1, 2012; 

dicloran tolerance on carrot, roots, 

postharvest with an expiration/ 

revocation date of November 2, 2011; 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES2
60236 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

disulfoton tolerances on bean, lima; 

bean, snap, succulent; broccoli; Brussels 

sprouts; cabbage; cauliflower; cotton, 

undelinted seed; and asparagus with 

expiration dates of December 31, 2013; 

disulfoton tolerances on lettuce, head 

and lettuce, leaf wtih expiration/

bean with an expiration/revocation date 

of June 30, 2014; methamidophos 

tolerances on broccoli and cabbage with

tomato; and potato with expiration/ 

revocation dates of December 31, 2013; 

methyl bromide tolerance on timothy, 

hay, postharvest with an expiration/ 

revocation date of October 19, 2010; and 

methyl bromide tolerances on alfalfa, 

hay, postharvest and cotton, undelinted 

seed with expiration/revocation dates of 

October 31, 2011. The Agency believes 

that these revocation dates allow users 

to exhaust stocks and allow sufficient 

time for passage of treated commodities 

through the channels of trade. 

Any commodities listed in the 

regulatory text of this document that are 

treated with the pesticides subject to 

this final rule, and that are in the 

channels of trade following the 

tolerance revocations, shall be subject to 

FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established 

by FQPA. Under this unit, any residues 

of these pesticides in or on such food 

shall not render the food adulterated so 

long as it is shown to the satisfaction of 

the Food and Drug Administration that: 

1. The residue is present as the result 

of an application or use of the pesticide 

at a time and in a manner that was 

lawful under FIFRA. 

2. The residue does not exceed the 

level that was authorized at the time of 

the application or use to be present on 

the food under a tolerance or exemption 

from tolerance. Evidence to show that 

food was lawfully treated may include 

records that verify the dates that the 

pesticide was applied to such food. 

III. 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 cacodylic acid, dicamba, EPTC, 

hexazinone, N-octyl bicycloheptene 

dicarboximide, picloram, propazine, 

pyrethrum, thiodicarb, and thiophanatemethyl, or MRL in or on corn, pop, 

grain; corn, pop, stover; or pineapple for 

ethoprop; or MRL in or on citrus, dried 

pulp; citrus, oil; fruit, citrus, group 10; 

or garlic for fenamiphos; or MRL for 

citrus, dried pulp; cranberry; peanut, 

hay; peanut, postharvest; raisins; 

safflower, seed; safflower, refined oil; 

sunflower, seed, postharvest; fat, meat, 

and meat byproducts of cattle, goats, 

hogs, horses, poultry, and sheep; egg; 

milk, fat; or nonmedicated cattle feed 

concentrate blocks for malathion; or 

MRL in or on alfalfa, hay, postharvest; 

cotton, undelinted seed; mango, 

postharvest; papaya, postharvest; or 

timothy, hay, postharvest for bromide 

ion or methyl bromide; or MRL in or on 

leek; strawberry; or watercress for 

methomyl; or MRL in or on broccoli; 

Brussels sprouts; cabbage; lettuce; or 

tomato for methamidophos. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

dicloran in or on commodities including 

carrot, postharvest at 15 mg/kg. This 

MRL is different than the current 

tolerance established for dicloran at 10 

ppm in the United States, which EPA is 

revoking in this final rule. The tolerance 

was reassessed in the RED at 10 ppm 

and was harmonized with Codex at that 

time. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

diquat in or on commodities including 

sorghum at 2 mg/kg and soya bean (dry) 

at 0.2 mg/kg. These MRLs are the same 

as the current tolerances for diquat in or 

on sorghum, grain, grain and soybean, 

seed in the United States, which EPA is 

revoking in this final rule. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

disulfoton in or on commodities 

including asparagus at 0.02 mg/kg; 

cotton seed at 0.1 mg/kg. These MRLs 

are different than the current tolerances 

established for disulfoton in or on 

asparagus at 0.1 ppm and cotton, 

undelinted seed at 0.75 ppm in the 

United States, both of which EPA is 

revoking in this final rule. The 

tolerances were reassessed in the RED 

and were not harmonized with Codex 

levels because of differences in good 

agricultural practices. The Codex MRL 

for disulfoton in or on coffee beans is 

the same as the current tolerance for 

disulfoton in or on coffee, green bean, 

which EPA is revoking in this final rule. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

methamidophos in or on commodities 

including cauliflower at 0.5 mg/kg; 

cotton seed at 0.2 mg/kg; chili peppers 

at 2 mg/kg; sweet peppers at 1 mg/kg; 

and potato at 0.05 mg/kg. These MRLs 

are different than the current tolerances 

established for methamidophos from 

methamidophos application in or on 

cauliflower at 1.0 ppm; cotton, 

undelinted seed at 0.1 ppm; pepper at 

1.0 ppm; and potato at 0.1 ppm in the 

United States, all of which EPA is 

revoking in this final rule. The 

tolerances were reassessed in the RED 

and were not harmonized with the 

Codex levels because of differences in 

good agricultural practices. While 

methamidophos is a metabolite of 

acephate and EPA is re-instating certain 

methamidophos tolerances as a result of 

the application of acephate, Codex has 

established MRLs for acephate but for 

compliance purposes has defined them 

as only acephate residues. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

phosmet in or on commodities 

including cotton seed at 0.05 mg/kg. 

This MRL is different than the current 

tolerance established for phosmet in or 

on cotton, undelinted seed at 0.1 ppm 

in the United States, which EPA is 

revoking in this final rule. The tolerance 

was reassessed in the RED and was not 

harmonized with the Codex level 

because of differences in good 

agricultural practices and tolerance 

expression where total residues for U.S. 

tolerances included phosmet’s oxygen 

analog. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

In this final rule, EPA establishes 

tolerances under FFDCA section 408(e), 

and also modifies and revokes specific 

tolerances established under FFDCA 

section 408. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) has exempted these 

types of actions (i.e., establishment and 

modification of a tolerance and 

tolerance revocation for which 

extraordinary circumstances do not 

exist) from review under Executive 

Order 12866, entitled Regulatory 

Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993). Because this rule has 

been exempted from review under 

Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of 

significance, this 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). 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 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 60237 

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 

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 OMB review or 

any other 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 104–13, section 

12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Pursuant to 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency 

previously assessed whether 

establishment of tolerances, exemptions 

from tolerances, raising of tolerance 

levels, expansion of exemptions, or 

revocations might significantly impact a 

substantial number of small entities and 

concluded that, as a general matter, 

these actions do not impose a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. These analyses 

for tolerance establishments and 

modifications, and for tolerance 

revocations were published on May 4, 

1981 (46 FR 24950) and on December 

17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL–5753–1), 

respectively, and were provided to the 

Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration. Taking into 

account this analysis, and available 

information concerning the pesticides 

listed in this rule, the Agency hereby 

certifies that this final rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. In 

a memorandum dated May 25, 2001, 

EPA determined that eight conditions 

must all be satisfied in order for an 

import tolerance or tolerance exemption 

revocation to adversely affect a 

significant number of small entity 

importers, and that there is a negligible 

joint probability of all eight conditions 

holding simultaneously with respect to 

any particular revocation. (This Agency 

document is available in the docket of 

the proposed rule, as mentioned in Unit 

II.A.). Furthermore, for the pesticides 

named in this final rule, the Agency 

knows of no extraordinary 

circumstances that exist as to the 

present revocations that would change 

EPA’s previous analysis. 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 

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 section 408(n)(4) of 

FFDCA. For these same reasons, the 

Agency has determined that this rule 

does not have any ‘‘tribal implications’’ 

as described in Executive Order 13175, 

entitled Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000). Executive 

Order 13175, requires EPA to develop 

an accountable process to ensure 

‘‘meaningful and timely input by tribal 

officials in the development of 

regulatory policies that have tribal 

implications.’’ ‘‘Policies that have tribal 

implications’’ is defined in the 

Executive order to include regulations 

that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on 

one or more Indian tribes, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and the Indian tribes, or on 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes.’’ This 

rule will not have substantial direct 

effects on tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175. 

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 

apply to this rule. 

V. 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 

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2).
