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 

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

804(2).

II. Summary of Petitioned-For 

Tolerance 

In the Federal Register of February 4, 

2011 (76 FR 6465) (FRL–8858–7), 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 0F7796) by IR–4, 

500 College Road East, Suite 201W, 

Princeton, NJ 08540. PP 0F7796 was 

incorrectly reported and should have 

read PP 0E7796, the correct petition 

number. The petition requested that 40 

CFR 180.142 be amended by 

establishing a tolerance for residues of 

the herbicide 2,4-D (2,4- 

dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), both free 

and conjugated, determined as the acid, 

in or on teff, bran at 4.0 parts per 

million (ppm); teff, forage at 25.0 ppm; 

teff, grain at 2.0 ppm; and teff, straw at 

50.0 ppm. That notice referenced a 

summary of the petition prepared on 

behalf of IR–4 by Helena Chemical 

Company, the registrant, which is 

available in the docket, http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Comments were 

received on the notice of filing. EPA’s 

response to these comments is 

discussed in Unit IV.C. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition, EPA has revised 

the tolerance expression for all 

established commodities to be 

consistent with current Agency policy. 

The reason for these changes is 

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 2,4-D including 

exposure resulting from the tolerances 

established by this action. EPA’s 

assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with 2,4-D follows. 

In the Federal Register of July 27, 

2005 (70 FR 43298) (FRL–7726–8), EPA 

published a final reestablishing 

tolerances for combined residues of the 

herbicide 2,4-D (2,4- 

dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), in or on 

hops, wild rice, and soybeans, based on 

upon EPA’s conclusion that aggregate 

exposure to 2,4-D is safe for the general 

population, including infants and 

children. Since 2005, there have been 

no additional tolerance actions for 

2,4-D. 

As noted in this unit, the current 

action concerns a tolerance for 2,4-D on 

teff. Teff is an intermediate grass that is 

morphologically and taxonomically 

similar to other cereal grains, including 

wheat. It is used to make flour in a 

manner similar to wheat and other 

cereal grains. EPA recently assessed the 

proposed use of 2,4-D on teff. In that 

assessment, EPA determined that 

aggregate 2,4-D exposures and risks will 

not increase as a result of the addition 

of the proposed teff uses to the uses 

assessed as part of the 2005 rulemaking. 

Teff is not included in the Continuing 

Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals 

(CSFII). However, because it is used to 

make flour in a manner similar to wheat 

and other cereal grains, it will likely 

substitute in the diet for cereal grain 

foods which will contain similar 

residues of 2,4-D; therefore, a significant 

increase in dietary exposure to residues 

of 2,4-D from consumption of teffcontaining foods will not occur. 

Furthermore, residues of 2,4-D in teff 

livestock feeds will be similar to those 

in other forages, hays, and silages for 

which tolerances of 2,4-D are currently 

established. As such, there would be no 

increase in the livestock dietary burden 

should teff be substituted in the 

livestock diet for other hays and silages; 

residues in meat, milk, poultry and eggs 

will remain the same. 

Further information about EPA’s risk 

assessment and determination of safety 

for this action can be found at http:// 

www.regulations.gov in document ‘‘2,4- 

D and Dicamba: Petition for the 

Establishment of Tolerances on Teff; 

Request for Registration of Latigo (EPA 

Reg. No. 5905–564) on Teff.’’ in docket 

ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2010–0905. 

Except as supplemented by the 

information described in this unit, EPA 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

55816 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 175 / Friday, September 9, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

is relying on the safety finding in the 

2005 rulemaking and the risk 

assessment underlying that action in 

establishing tolerances for 2,4-D on teff, 

bran; teff, forage; teff, grain; and teff, 

straw. Further information regarding the 

safety finding for the last rulemaking 

can be found in the Federal Register of 

July 27, 2005 (70 FR 43307) (FRL–7726– 

8), at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPAPEST/2005/July/Day-27/p14886.htm. 

For the 2005 rulemaking, the 2,4-D 

toxicity database was considered 

complete except for the submission of a 

developmental neurotoxicity study 

(DNT) and a repeat 2-generation 

reproduction study. The absence of 

these studies led EPA to retain an 

additional safety factor for the 

protection of infants and children as 

provided by FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(C). Additionally, recent 

changes to 40 CFR part 158 imposed 

new data requirements for 

immunotoxicity testing (OPPTS 

Guideline 870.7800) and acute and 

subchronic neurotoxicity testing 

(OPPTS Guideline 870.6200) for 

pesticide registration. All of these data 

requirements have now been met. The 

toxicity database for 2,4-D includes 

acceptable acute and subchronic 

neurotoxicity studies; therefore, the 

requirements for the neurotoxicity 

screening battery have been met. To 

address the other deficiencies, the 

registrant submitted an F1-extended 

1-generation toxicity study in rats. This 

study has been reviewed and found 

acceptable, and fulfills the outstanding 

requirements for a DNT study, a repeat 

2-generation reproduction study, and 

immunotoxicity testing. After review of 

these studies, EPA has concluded that 

they do not affect EPA’s derivation of 

2,4-D’s acute reference dose (aRfD) or 

chronic reference dose (cRfD). It is 

likely, however, that in the future EPA 

will remove the additional safety factor 

for the protection of infants and 

children now that the 2,4-D database is 

complete. Thus, once a full 

reassessment of 2,4-D is completed, 

estimated risks are likely to decline 

substantially. However, because a full 

reassessment of 2,4-D risk taking into 

account the new studies has not been 

formally conducted, EPA is relying 

primarily on the 2005 rulemaking to 

support this action. Therefore, the safety 

finding for this action relies on the 

additional margin of safety provided by 

retaining the additional safety factor for 

protection of infants and children. For 

further information on EPA’s review of 

these studies, information is available at 

http://www.regulations.gov, in docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2010–0905. 

In the 2005 rulemaking, EPA relied 

upon data showing the percent of crops 

treated with 2,4-D in assessing chronic 

risk. In evaluating the proposed teff 

tolerances, EPA considered updated 

data on percent crop treated and has 

concluded that the updated data would 

increase the chronic risk estimates from 

the 2005 assessment for the general 

population and children 1–6 years old 

(the most sensitive subpopulation) by 

2.2% and 3.1% of the cPAD, 

respectively. Because the chronic risk 

estimates for the 2005 assessment were 

well below the level of concern, these 

differences are considered insignificant. 

Therefore, based upon the 2005 

rulemaking and the other information 

discussed in this unit, EPA concludes 

that there is a reasonable certainty that 

no harm will result to the general 

population, and to infants and children 

from aggregate exposure to 2,4-D 

residues. Refer to the July 27, 2005 (70 

FR 43298) (FRL–7726–8) Federal 

Register document, available at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, for a detailed 

discussion of the aggregate risk 

assessments and determination of 

safety. EPA relies upon those risk 

assessments and the findings made in 

the Federal Register document in 

support of this action. 

IV. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

Adequate enforcement methodology, 

a gas chromatography with electron 

capture detection (GC/ECD) method, 

designated as EN–CAS Method No. 

ENC–2/93, 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 MRLs 

for 2,4-D in or on any commodities 

associated with this action. 

C. Response to Comments 

EPA received one comment to the 

Notice of Filing that made a general 

objection to proposed new tolerances 

and new tolerance exemptions for 

several chemicals, including 2,4-D. The 

commenter additionally noted that, 

‘‘prior to approval of these or other 

chemicals in the food system the EPA 

must be confident that these will not 

cause harm’’ and ‘‘only long term 

studies can provide data on the health 

impact of exposure to these chemicals.’’ 

The commenter stated that none of the 

mentioned chemicals, including 2,4-D, 

should be permitted in food. 

The Agency understands the 

commenter’s concerns and recognizes 

that some individuals believe that 

certain pesticide chemicals should not 

be permitted in our food. However, the 

existing legal framework provided by 

section 408 of the FFDCA states that 

tolerances may be set when persons 

seeking such tolerances or exemptions 

have demonstrated that the pesticide 

meets the safety standard imposed by 

that statute. When new or amended 

tolerances are requested for residues of 

a pesticide in food or feed, the Agency, 

as is required by section 408 of the 

FFDCA, estimates the risk of the 

potential exposure to these residues. 

The Agency has concluded after this 

assessment, which includes the 

consideration of long-term animal 

studies with 2,4-D, that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result from aggregate human exposure to 

2,4-D and that, accordingly, the 2,4-D 

tolerances on teff are ‘‘safe.’’ 

D. Revisions to Petitioned-For 

Tolerances 

The EPA has revised the tolerance 

expression to clarify: 

1. Tvided in FFDCA section 408(a)(3), 

the tolerance covers metabolites and 

degradates of 2,4-D not specifically 

mentioned; and 2. Tcompliance with 

the specified tolerance levels is to be 

determined by measuring only the 

specific compounds mentioned in the 

tolerance expression. 

V. Conclusion 

Therefore, tolerances are established 

for residues of 2,4-D (2,4- 

dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), including 

its metabolites and degradates, in or on 

teff, bran at 4.0 ppm; teff, forage at 25.0 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 175 / Friday, September 9, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 55817 

ppm; teff, grain at 2.0 ppm; and teff, 

straw at 50.0 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 

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

804(2).
