II. Background 

A. What action is the agency taking? 

In the Federal Register of May 4, 2011 

(76 FR 25281) (FRL–8870–4), EPA 

issued a proposal to revoke certain 

tolerances in follow-up to canceled uses 

for chloroneb, chlorpyrifos, clofencet, 

endosulfan, ethyl parathion, 

methidathion, methyl parathion, and 

N,N-diethyl-2-(4- 

methylbenzyloxy)ethylamine, modify 

certain tolerances for atrazine, set a 

revocation date for specific endosulfan 

tolerances, make minor revisions to 

tolerance expressions, in accordance 

with current Agency practice to describe 

more clearly the measurement and 

scope or coverage of the tolerances, 

including applicable metabolites and 

degradates, for chloroneb, clofencet, 

endosulfan, methidathion, and methyl 

parathion, remove expired tolerances for 

methidathion, methyl parathion, and 

ethyl parathion, and revise the tolerance 

nomenclature for a specific atrazine 

tolerance. Also, the proposal of May 4, 

2011 (76 FR 25281) 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 

tolerances for residues of chloroneb, 

chlorpyrifos, clofencet, endosulfan, 

ethyl parathion, methidathion, methyl 

parathion, and N,N-diethyl-2-(4- 

methylbenzyloxy)ethylamine, 

modifying specific tolerances for 

atrazine, and setting a revocation date 

for specific endosulfan tolerances. Also, 

EPA is making minor revisions to 

tolerance expressions for chloroneb, 

clofencet, endosulfan, methidathion, 

and methyl parathion, removing expired 

tolerances for methidathion, methyl 

parathion, and ethyl parathion, and 

revising the tolerance nomenclature for 

a specific atrazine tolerance. 

EPA is finalizing these tolerance 

actions in order to follow-up on 

canceled uses of chloroneb, 

chlorpyrifos, clofencet, N,N-diethyl-2- 

(4-methylbenzyloxy)ethylamine, 

endosulfan, ethyl parathion, 

methidathion, and methyl parathion, 

and modifying certain tolerances as 

recommended in the atrazine 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) 

of 2006. As part of the tolerance 

reassessment process, 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. An electronic copy 

is available on the Internet for the 

atrazine RED at 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 the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (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: 

1. 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, commenter 

retracts the comment identifying a need 

for the tolerance to be retained. 

2. EPA independently verifies that the 

tolerance is no longer needed. 

3. The tolerance is not supported by 

data that demonstrate that the tolerance 

meets the requirements under the Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA). 

In response to the proposal published 

in the Federal Register of May 4, 2011 

(76 FR 25281), EPA received comments 

during the 60-day public comment 

period, as follows: 

General—i. Comment by private 

citizen. An anonymous comment was 

received which expressed concerns 

about pesticides on food and that only 

zero tolerance levels should be 

acceptable. 

Agency response. The commenter did 

not take issue with any of the Agency’s 

specific conclusions to modify, revoke, 

or set a revocation date for certain 

tolerances. Also, the commenter did not 

refer to any specific studies which 

pertain to those conclusions. The 

Agency has not changed its previous 

determination that the tolerances in 

question are safe. 


tkelley on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with RULES
56650 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 14, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

1. Methidathion—Comment by Gowan 

Company. Gowan requested that the 

expiration/revocation date regarding 

each tolerance for residues of 

methidathion on citrus, oil; fruit, citrus, 

group 10, except tangerine; fruit, pome, 

group 11; fruit, stone, group 12; and 

tangerine be extended from December 

31, 2016 until December 31, 2018 in 

order to allow treated commodities, 

such as frozen commodities that can be 

stored longer, to clear the channels of 

trade. 

Agency response. In the Federal 

Register of May 4, 2011 (76 FR 25281), 

EPA proposed to revoke specific 

tolerances for residues of methidathion 

in 40 CFR 180.298(a) and included the 

tolerances on citrus, oil; fruit, citrus, 

group 10, except tangerine; fruit, pome, 

group 11; fruit, stone, group 12; and 

tangerine, each proposed with an 

expiration/revocation date of December 

31, 2016, among other tolerance actions 

proposed for methidathion. As stated in 

Unit II.C. of the May 4, 2011 document, 

commodities treated with pesticides 

that are in the channels of trade 

following tolerance revocation are 

subject to FFDCA section 408(l)(5). 

Under this section, any residues of 

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 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 and 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 a tolerance. Evidence to 

show that food was lawfully treated may 

include records that verify the dates that 

the pesticide was applied to such food. 

Therefore, the revocation date for these 

tolerances remains December 31, 2016. 

In addition, EPA is finalizing all other 

amendments (including all other 

tolerance revocations) proposed 

concerning methidathion in the Federal 

Register of May 4, 2011 (76 FR 25281). 

2. Atrazine—Comment by private 

citizen. The commenter expressed 

concerns about developmental and 

toxicological risks to frogs in the United 

States and the potential risks of atrazine 

exposure. The commenter requested 

that as part of the Agency’s review of 

atrazine, it should reevaluate the 

impacts of atrazine on frogs. 

Agency response. The commenter’s 

concerns regarding potential ecological 

effects of atrazine are not germane to 

tolerance setting under FFDCA. Also, 

the commenter did not take issue with 

any of the Agency’s specific conclusions 

to decrease the atrazine tolerances on 

corn, field, forage; sorghum, forage, 

forage; and sorghum, grain forage (and 

revise it to sorghum, grain, forage) based 

on the available field trial data. The 

commenter did not refer to any specific 

studies which pertain to those 

conclusions about decreasing the 3 

specific tolerances aforementioned. EPA 

has determined that the proposed 

tolerance levels meet the safety standard 

of FFDCA section 408(b). Consequently, 

EPA is decreasing the tolerances in 40 

CFR 180.220(a) on corn, field, forage to 

1.5 ppm; sorghum, forage, forage to 0.25 

ppm; and sorghum, grain forage to 0.25 

ppm, and revising sorghum, grain forage 

to sorghum, grain, forage. 

The Agency did not receive any 

specific comments, during the 60-day 

comment period, on the following 

pesticide active ingredients: Chloroneb, 

chlorpyrifos, clofencet, endosulfan, 

ethyl parathion, methyl parathion, and 

N,N-diethyl-2-(4-methylbenzyloxy) 

ethylamine. Therefore, EPA is finalizing 

the amendments proposed concerning 

these pesticide active ingredients in the 

Federal Register of May 4, 2011 (76 FR 

25281). For a detailed discussion of the 

Agency’s rationale for the finalized 

tolerance actions, refer to the proposed 

rule of May 4, 2011. 

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 revoking, 

modifying, and setting a revocation date 

for specific 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 issued a RED for atrazine and 

among its tolerance recommendations, it 

stated that certain tolerances should be 

modified. 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. 

C. When do these actions become 

effective? 

As stated in the DATES section, this 

regulation is effective on the date of 

publication in the Federal Register. In 

this final rule, EPA is revoking certain 

tolerances for chloroneb, clofencet, 

endosulfan, methidathion, and methyl 

parathion with specific expiration/ 

revocation dates, and setting a 

revocation date for specific endosulfan 

tolerances. EPA is revoking certain 

tolerances for chlorpyrifos, endosulfan, 

ethyl parathion, methyl parathion, and 

N,N-diethyl-2-(4-methylbenzyloxy) 

ethylamine, modifying certain 

tolerances for atrazine, revising a single 

tolerance nomenclature, revising certain 

tolerance expressions, and removing 

certain expired tolerances on the date of 

publication of this final rule in the 

Federal Register. With the exception of 

the aforementioned tolerances for which 

EPA is revoking with expiration/ 


tkelley on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 14, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 56651 

revocation dates or setting a revocation 

date for specific endosulfan tolerances, 

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. As 

proposed in the May 4, 2011 document, 

EPA is revoking specific chloroneb, 

clofencet, endosulfan, methidathion, 

and methyl parathion (except for 

peanut) tolerances with expiration/ 

revocation dates of April 16, 2012, July 

14, 2012, various dates, December 31, 

2016, and December 31, 2013. 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. Also, in the cases of 

endosulfan and methyl parathion, these 

revocation dates are also consistent with 

a Memorandum of Agreement between 

the registrants and the Agency. 

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(l)(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 atrazine, chloroneb, clofencet, N,Ndiethyl-2-(4- 

methylbenzyloxy)ethylamine, ethyl 

parathion, or MRL on lettuce for 

chlorpyrifos. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

endosulfan in or on various 

commodities including melons, except 

watermelon at 2 mg/kg and tea, green, 

black at 30 mg/kg. These MRLs are 

different than the tolerances established 

for endosulfan in the United States 

because of differences in use patterns 

and/or good agricultural practices. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

methidathion in or on various 

commodities including apple at 0.5 mg/ 

kg; cherries at 0.2 mg/kg; cottonseed at 

1 mg/kg; nectarine at 0.2 mg/kg; olives 

at 1 mg/kg; peach at 0.2 mg/kg; pear at 

1 mg/kg; and plums (including prunes) 

at 0.2 mg/kg. These MRLs are different 

than the tolerances established for 

methidathion in the United States 

because of differences in use patterns 

and/or good agricultural practices. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

methyl parathion (parathion-methyl) in 

or on various commodities including 

potato at 0.05 mg/kg. The MRL is 

different than the tolerance established 

for methyl parathion in the United 

States because of differences in use 

patterns and/or good agricultural 

practices. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

In this final rule, EPA is revoking, 

modifying, and setting a revocation date 

for specific tolerances under FFDCA 

section 408. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) has exempted these 

types of actions (e.g., modification and 

establishment 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 

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). 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 


tkelley on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with RULES
56652 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 14, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

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).
