ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of [alpha]-alkyl- 

[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) 

and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers 

where the alkyl chain contains a 

minimum of six carbons, and [alpha]- 

alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly 

(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons and a minimum number 

average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 

herein referred to as ‘‘AAAs’’ (alkyl 

alcohol alkoxylates) to include 

Chemical Abstract Service Registry 

Number (CAS Reg. No.) 116810–31–2 

when used as an inert ingredient as a 

surfactant in pesticide formulations, 

under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 

180.940a, and 180.960, in growing crops 

without limitations. Akzo Nobel Surface 

Chemistry submitted a petition to EPA 

under the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an 

amendment to an existing requirement 

of a tolerance. This regulation 

eliminates the need to establish a 

maximum permissible level for residues 

of AAAs.

II. Petition for Exemption 

In the Federal Register of August 5, 

2009 (74 FR 38935) (FRL–8430–1), EPA 

issued a final rule, announcing the 

establishment of a tolerance exemption 

pursuant to a pesticide petition (PP 

9E7534) by The Joint Inerts Task Force 

(JITF), Cluster Support Team Number 1 

(CST1), c/o CropLife America, 1156 

15th St. NW., Suite 400, Washington, 


wreier-aviles on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with RULES
33470 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

DC 20005. The petition requested that 

40 CFR 180.910, 40 CFR 180.930, 40 

CFR 180.940a, and 40 CFR 180.960 be 

amended by establishing exemptions 

from the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of a group of substances known 

as AAAs. The exemptions narratively 

describe the subject chemical as a-alkylw-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or 

poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the 

alkyl chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons and specify the individual 

chemicals covered by the exemptions by 

a listing of CAS Reg. Nos. The current 

petition seeks to expand these 

exemptions by adding an additional 

chemical identified by CAS Reg. No. 

In the Federal Register of July 19, 

2013 (78 FR 43118) (FRL–9392–9), EPA 

issued a notice pursuant to section 408 

of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a, announcing 

the filing of a pesticide petition (IN– 

10544) by Spring Trading Company, 

10805 W. Timberwagon Cir., Spring, TX 

77380–4030, on behalf of Akzo Nobel 

Surface Chemistry, LLC, 525 West Van 

Buren, Chicago, IL 60607–3823. The 

petition requested that 40 CFR 180.920, 

180.930, and 180.960 be amended by 

modifying the exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of AAAs by adding residues of 

additional chemicals of [alpha]-alkyl- 

[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) 

and/or poly(oxyethylene) polymers 

where the alkyl chain contains a 

minimum of six carbons, and alkyl-whydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or 

poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the 

alkyl chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons, minimum number average 

molecular weight (in AMU) 1,100 in or 

on growing crops at no limitation when 

used as an inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations. That notice referenced a 

summary of the petition prepared by 

Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry, the 

petitioner, which is available in the 

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

Comments were received on the notice 

of filing. A public comment noted that 

the requested 40 CFR sections, 180.920, 

180.930, or 180.960 were not all the 

correct sections for AAAs. The 

petitioner agreed and resubmitted their 

request. 

In the Federal Register of February 

25, 2014 (79 FR 03861) (FRL–9906–77), 

EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 

408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

announcing the filing of a pesticide 

petition (IN–10544) by Spring Trading 

Company, 10805 W. Timberwagon Cir., 

Spring, TX 77380–4030, on behalf of 

Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry, LLC, 

525 West Van Buren, Chicago, IL 

60607–3823. The petition requested that 

40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a) 

and 180.960 be amended by modifying 

the exemption from the requirement of 

a tolerance for residues of AAAs to 

include CAS Reg. No.: 116810–31–2 

when used as an inert ingredient in 

pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops without limitations. That 

notice referenced a summary of the 

petition prepared by Akzo Nobel 

Surface Chemistry, the petitioner, 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 V.C. 

In this petition, Akzo Nobel Surface 

Chemistry claims that the chemical CAS 

Reg. No.; 116810–31–2 is covered by the 

published tolerance exemption for 

AAAs and that no further data or review 

is required to amend the existing 

tolerance exemption to include the 

additional CAS Reg. No. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition, EPA has 

confirmed that the requested CAS Reg. 

No. is acceptable for consideration 

under the currently approved 

descriptor. This limitation is based on 

the Agency’s risk assessment which can 

be found at http://www.regulations.gov 

in document IN–10544 requesting to 

amend the exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for [alpha]- 

alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly 

(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons, and a-alkyl-w-hydroxypoly 

(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons and a minimum number 

average molecular weight (in amu) 

1,100, under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 

180.940(a) or 180.960 in docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2013–0210. 

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 section 408(c)(2)(A) 

of FFDCA, 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 AAAs including 

exposure resulting from the exemption 

established by this action. EPA’s 

assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with AAAs follows. 


wreier-aviles on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 33471 

The Agency agrees with the petitioner 

that CAS Reg. No.: 116810–31–2 is an 

AAA having molecular structures 

conforming to the chemical description 

given in the tolerance exemption 

expression, i.e., a-alkyl-w-hydroxypoly 

(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons and which do not contain 

additional structural elements that are 

not included within the tolerance 

exemption expression description. In 

2009, in establishing the exemption for 

the AAAs, EPA assessed their safety 

generally using worst case exposure 

assumptions. (74 FR 149) (FRL–8430–1). 

EPA concluded that that assessment 

showed that exempting the AAAs from 

the requirement from a tolerance would 

be safe. Inclusion of additional 

chemicals described above in the risk 

assessment for the AAAs would in no 

way alter that prior risk assessment 

given the generic findings on toxicity 

and the worst case exposure 

assumptions used in that risk 

assessment. Accordingly, based on the 

findings in that earlier rule, EPA has 

determined that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm to any population 

subgroup, including infants and 

children, will result from aggregate 

exposure to AAAs, by including the 

additional chemicals described above, 

under reasonably foreseeable 

circumstances. Therefore, the 

amendment of an exemption from 

tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910, 

180.930, 180.940, and 180.960, for 

residues of AAAs to include the 

chemicals described above is safe under 

FFDCA section 408. 

V. Other Considerations 

A. 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. 

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 a MRL 

for AAAs. 

C. Response to Comments 

One comment was received for a 

notice of filing from a private citizen 

who opposed the authorization to sell 

any pesticide that leaves a residue on 

food. The Agency understands the 

commenter’s concerns and recognizes 

that some individuals believe that no 

residue of pesticides should be allowed. 

However, under the existing legal 

framework provided by section 408 of 

the FFDCA, EPA is authorized to 

establish pesticide tolerances or 

exemptions where persons seeking such 

tolerances or exemptions have 

demonstrated that the pesticide meets 

the safety standard imposed by the 

statute. 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, the exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 

180.910, 180.930, 180.940a, and 180.960 

for AAAs when used as an inert 

ingredient as a surfactant in pesticide 

formulations applied to growing crops is 

amended to add the following CAS No.: 

116810–31–2. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final rule establishes a tolerance 

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). 

VIII. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

GSA reviewed the transportation 

management policy regarding 

international shipments and published a 

proposed rule in the Federal Register on 

June 19, 2013 (78 FR 36723). 

The Fly America Act, 49 U.S.C. 

40118, requires the use of United States 

air carrier service for all air cargo 

transportation services funded by the 

United States (U.S.) Government. One 

exception to this requirement is 

transportation provided under a 

bilateral or multilateral air transport 

agreement, to which the U.S. 

Government and the government of a 

foreign country are parties, and which 

the Department of Transportation has 

determined meets the requirements of 

the Fly America Act. 

The U.S. Government has entered into 

several air transport agreements that 

allow Federally-funded transportation 

services for cargo movements to use 

foreign air carriers under certain 

circumstances. For example, on April 25 

and April 30, 2007, the United StatesEuropean Union (EU) Air Transport 

Agreement (U.S.-EU Agreement) was 

signed, providing EU air carriers the 

right to transport cargo, including 

household goods, on scheduled and 

charter flights funded by the U.S. 

Government (excluding transportation 

funded by the Secretary of Defense or in 

the Secretary of a military department), 

between any point in the U.S. and any
