Pesticide Tolerance Crop Grouping 

Program Amendment IV 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule revises the 

current pesticide tolerance crop 

grouping regulations, which allow the 

establishment of tolerances for multiple 

related crops based on data from a 

representative set of crops. This rule 

creates five new crop groups, three new 

and two revised commodity definitions 

and revises the regulations on the 

interaction of crop group tolerances 

with processed food, meat, milk, and 

egg tolerances. These revisions will 

promote greater use of crop groupings 

for tolerance-setting purposes, both 

domestically and in countries that 

export food to the United States. This is 

the fourth in a series of planned crop 

group updates. 

DATES: This final rule is effective July 5, 

2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer or food manufacturer. The 

following list of North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes is not intended to be 

exhaustive, but rather provides a guide 

to help readers determine whether this 

document applies to them. Potentially 

affected entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

II. Background 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

This final rule revises EPA’s 

regulations governing crop group 

tolerances for pesticides. Specifically, 

this rule creates five new crop groups, 

three new and two revised commodity 

definitions, and revises the regulations 

on the interaction of crop group 

tolerances with processed food, meat, 

milk, and egg tolerances. This final rule 

is the fourth in a series of crop group 

updates expected to be promulgated in 

the next several years. 

B. What is the agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

This rule is issued under the authority 

of section 408(e)(1)(C) of the Federal 

Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

which authorizes EPA to establish 

‘‘general procedures and requirements 

to implement (section 408).’’ 21 U.S.C. 

346a(e)(1)(C). Under FFDCA section 

408, EPA establishes tolerances for 

pesticide chemical residues in or on 

food, where there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result from 

aggregate exposure to the pesticide 

chemical residue. A tolerance is the 

maximum permissible residue level 

established for a pesticide in raw 

agricultural produce and processed 

foods. The crop group regulations 

currently in 40 CFR 180.40 and 180.41 

enable the establishment of tolerances 

for a crop group based on residue data 

for certain crops that are representative 

of the group. 

III. The Proposed Rule 

EPA published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register on 

November 14, 2014 (79 FR 68153) (FRL– 

9918–40). Written comments were 

received from seven parties in response 

to the proposal: Three private citizens, 

the University of Hawaii, the Hawaii 

Farm Bureau Federation, the Minor 

Crop Farmer Alliance, and the 

Interregional Research Project Number 

(IR–4). 

IV. Response to Comments 

In this unit, EPA describes the major 

provisions of the proposed rule, the 

comments received on each provision, 

EPA’s responses to those comments, and 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
26472 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

EPA’s determination regarding the final 

rule. 

A. Crop Group 4–16: Leafy Vegetable 

Group 

1. Revise the proposed crop group 

name. EPA is adopting its proposal to 

expand ‘‘Crop Group 4: Leafy Vegetables 

(Except Brassica Vegetables) Group’’ to 

both add and remove commodities and 

to restructure the group. EPA revises the 

name of the new crop group to ‘‘Crop 

Group 4–16: Leafy Vegetable Group.’’ 

Although the new crop group was 

proposed as ‘‘Crop Group 4–14: Leafy 

Vegetable Group’’, this change is needed 

in order to reflect the correct year of 

establishment, which is 2016. The final 

rule retains the pre-existing Crop Group 

4 as described in Unit VI. 

2. Add new commodities. The final 

rule expands the leafy vegetable crop 

group from the existing 27 commodities 

to 62 commodities in Crop Group 4–16: 

Leafy Vegetable Group. 

3. Revise representative commodities 

for new crop group. The final rule 

retains the proposed four representative 

commodities for Crop Group 4–16: Head 

lettuce, leaf lettuce, mustard greens, and 

spinach. 

EPA received an anonymous 

comment to make lettuce a separate 

subgroup under Crop Group 4–16 and 

adopt other crops as representative 

crops for Crop Group 4–16. The 

commenter indicated that lettuce is 

intolerant of most herbicides and 

proposed that lettuce be established as 

a separate subgroup and other crops be 

adopted as better representative 

commodities for the crop group. 

However, the commenter did not 

provide any additional information or 

suggest what alternative crop would be 

more appropriate as the representative 

crop. To address this comment, EPA 

reviewed data for all commodities 

included in the proposed Crop Group 4– 

16, including the commodities that 

would be appropriate for inclusion in 

Leafy Green subgroup 4–16A and 

Brassica Leafy Greens subgroup 4–16B. 

EPA has determined that lettuce would 

continue to be appropriately included in 

Crop Group 4 with the other vegetables 

based on similarities in the plant 

morphology; cultural practices; similar 

pest problems; the similar edible food 

portions and lack of livestock feed 

portions; potential to result in similar 

dietary exposure to pesticide residues; 

similarities in geographical locations 

and processing techniques; and the 

established tolerances for commodities 

currently within subgroup 4A (Ref. 1). 

Similarly, the Agency is including 

lettuce in subgroup 4–16A based on 

similarities in plant morphology; 

cultural practices; pest problems; the 

edible food portions and lack of 

livestock feed portions; potential to 

result in similar dietary exposure to 

pesticide residues; and similarities in 

geographical locations and processing 

techniques; and the established 

tolerances for commodities currently 

within subgroup 4A (Ref. 1). EPA 

expects that all proposed members of 

the crop subgroup 4–16A will generally 

have similar residue levels based on 

these similarities and has determined 

that it is appropriate to include the 

proposed commodities, including 

lettuce, in Crop Group 4–16 and 

subgroup 4–16A. 

In determining the appropriate 

representative commodities for this crop 

group and subgroup, the Agency 

considered which commodities are most 

likely to contain the highest residues; to 

be the highest produced and/or 

consumed; and to be similar in 

morphology, growth habit, pest 

problems, and edible portion to the 

related commodities within a group or 

subgroup. EPA determined that head 

lettuce, leaf lettuce, mustard greens, and 

spinach are the appropriate 

representatives for the crop group, 

because these commodities account for 

>95% of the total leafy vegetable 

harvested acres reported in the United 

States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) Census of Agriculture and are 

also the highest consumed commodities 

on a per capita basis in the group. These 

commodities have a long regulatory 

history as being representative 

commodities for Crop Groups 4 and 5 

(Ref. 1). 

4. New subgroups. The final rule 

retains the proposed addition of two 

subgroups to the revised Crop Group 4– 

16. 

i. Leafy greens subgroup 4–16A. 

(Representative commodities- Head 

lettuce, Leaf lettuce, and Spinach). 

Forty-two commodities are included in 

this subgroup. 

ii. Brassica leafy greens subgroup 4– 

16B. (Representative commodityMustard greens). Twenty commodities 

are included in this subgroup. 

B. Crop Group 5–16: Head and Stem 

Brassica Vegetable Group 

EPA proposed to remove commodities 

and to restructure existing Crop Group 

5, as Brassica (Cole) Leafy Vegetables 

Crop Group 5–16. EPA received no 

comments on this proposal and 

therefore is adopting the proposed 

changes as final with one minor 

modification. EPA is revising the name 

of the new crop group to ‘‘Crop Group 

5–16: Head and Stem Brassica Vegetable 

Group.’’ Although the new crop group 

was proposed as ‘‘Crop Group 5–14: 

Head and Stem Brassica Vegetable 

Group’’, this change is needed to reflect 

the correct year of establishment, which 

is 2016. 

1. Revise existing commodities. The 

final rule revises Crop Group 5–16 to 

include five commodities. 

2. Revise representative commodities. 

The final rule revises the representative 

commodities for Crop Group 5–16 by 

designating Broccoli or Cauliflower, and 

Cabbage as the representative 

commodities. 

3. Remove subgroups. The final rule 

adopts the proposal not to include 

subgroups in Crop Group 5–16. 

EPA received no comments on this 

provision and adopts its proposal 

without change. 

C. New Crop Group 22: Stalk, Stem and 

Leaf Petiole Group 

EPA received no comments on the 

addition of this new Crop Group and 

adopts its proposal without change. 

1. Commodities. The final rule adopts 

19 commodities to the new Crop Group 

22. 

2. Representative Commodities. The 

final rule adopts the proposed 

Asparagus and Celery as representative 

commodities. 

3. New Subgroups. The final rule 

adopts the proposed two subgroups to 

the new Crop Group 22. 

i. Stalk and stem vegetable subgroup 

22A. (Representative commodityAsparagus). Twelve commodities are 

included in this subgroup. 

ii. Leaf petiole vegetable subgroup 

22B. (Representative commodityCelery). Seven commodities are 

included in this subgroup. 

4. Amendment to Definitions and 

Interpretations. In conjunction with 

new Crop Group 22, EPA is adopting 

two new commodity definitions that 

were proposed for Fern, edible and 

Palm hearts to be added to § 180.1(g), as 

specified in this final rule. 

No comments were submitted on this 

provision, and EPA adopts its proposal 

without change. 

D. New Crop Group 23: Tropical and 

Subtropical Fruit, Edible Peel Group 

EPA received three comments to the 

proposed Crop Group 23. The Agency 

received one comment about the 

proposed representative commodity for 

Crop subgroup 23A, which is addressed 

in Unit IV D.2, and another comment 

about a commodity definition for guava, 

which is addressed in Unit IV D.4. 

Additionally, EPA received a comment 

from IR–4 requesting that Achachairu ́

(Garcinia gardneriana (Planch. & 

Triana) Zappi) be added to the proposed 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 26473 

Crop subgroup 24B. After reviewing the 

comment and considering available 

information, EPA determined that it 

would be appropriate to include 

Achachairu ́ in Subtropical Fruit, 

medium to large fruit, edible peel 

subgroup 23B; this is addressed in Unit 

IV D.3. 

The Agency also received a comment 

on the name ‘‘Tropical and Subtropical’’ 

being removed from the proposed 

subgroups titled ‘‘small fruit, edible peel 

subgroup 23A’’, ’’ medium to large fruit, 

edible peel subgroup 23B’’, and ‘‘palm 

fruit, edible peel subgroup 23C’’. 

According to the commenter, these 

names could result in misunderstanding 

of what commodities are included in the 

adopted Crop Group 23. 

EPA agrees with the commenter that 

removal of the names ‘‘Tropical and 

Subtropical’’ from the adopted 

subgroups could result in 

misunderstandings and has changed the 

subgroup names as follows: ‘‘Tropical 

and Subtropical, small fruit, edible peel 

subgroup 23A’’; ‘‘Tropical and 

Subtropical, medium to large fruit, 

edible peel subgroup 23B’’; and 

‘‘Tropical and Subtropical, palm fruit, 

edible peel subgroup 23C’’. EPA is 

adopting its proposal with these 

changes to the subgroup names. 

1. Commodities. The final rule adopts 

109 commodities to the new Crop Group 

23. 

2. Representative Commodities. The 

final rule adopts the proposed Olive, 

Fig, Guava, and Date as representative 

commodities after consideration of one 

comment received concerning the 

representative commodity for Crop 

subgroup 23A, Olive. 

An anonymous commenter provided, 

in part, the following comment: ‘‘Having 

only a cool, subtropical fruit crop, i.e., 

olive, as the representative for 

numerous tropical fruit crops . . . will 

make conducting residue trials for these 

crops unlikely since these crops are not 

adapted to nor grown in cool, 

Mediterranean-like climates but in 

tropical regions.’’ The commenter 

recommended that the EPA find a 

different representative commodity for 

subgroup 23A and suggested that wax 

jambu or perhaps Costa Rican guava 

would be good choices. In response, 

EPA notes that there should not be a 

need to conduct residue trials for the 

other crops in the subgroup because the 

basis for crop grouping is that data for 

the representative commodity can be 

used to establish tolerances for the other 

commodities in the subgroup. 

Additionally, representative 

commodities are selected based on 

commodities most likely to contain the 

highest residues; to be the highest 

produced and/or consumed; to be 

similar in morphology, growth habit, 

pest problems and edible portion to the 

related commodities within a group or 

subgroup; and to have production in the 

United States. EPA determined olive is 

the appropriate representative for 

subgroup 23A for several reasons. First, 

in general, the smaller the fruit, the 

larger the ratio of surface area to weight; 

therefore, pesticide deposits on olives 

are expected to be higher than on wax 

jambu or Costa Rican guava. Because of 

their size, olives are expected to have a 

higher residue than wax jambu or Costa 

Rican guava. Second, olives account for 

most of the harvested U.S. acres for the 

members of subgroup 23A, whereas (as 

noted by the commenter) wax jambu 

and Costa Rican guava are primarily 

grown outside of the United States. 

Finally, the commodities in subgroup 

23A are similar in fruit surface area, 

edible portions, and cultural practices. 

3. New Subgroups. The final rule 

adopts the proposed three subgroups to 

the new Crop Group 23. 

i. Tropical and Subtropical, small 

fruit, edible peel subgroup 23A. 

(Representative commodity—Olive). 

Fifty-six commodities are included in 

this subgroup. 

ii. Tropical and Subtropical, medium 

to large fruit, edible peel subgroup 23B. 

(Representative commodities—Fig and 

Guava). Forty-four commodities are 

included in this subgroup after 

consideration of one comment received 

concerning the addition of a 

commodity. 

EPA received a comment from IR–4 

requesting that Achachairu ́ (Garcinia 

gardneriana (Planch. & Triana) Zappi) 

be added to the proposed Crop subgroup 

24B. After reviewing the comment and 

considering available information, EPA 

determined that the peel for Achachairu ́

is edible and is used in fruit drinks. 

Therefore, EPA determined that it 

would be appropriate to include 

Achachairu ́ in the Tropical and 

Subtropical Fruit, medium to large fruit, 

edible peel subgroup 23B. USDA APHIS 

indicates Achachairu ́ is already being 

legally imported into the U.S., and 

therefore, being a member of the crop 

group will help avoid tolerance and 

import issues with this crop. 

iii. Tropical and Subtropical, Palm 

fruit, edible peel subgroup 23C. 

(Representative commodity—Date). 

Nine commodities are included in this 

subgroup. 

4. Amendment to Definitions and 

Interpretations. IR–4 originally 

petitioned the EPA to develop a new 

crop definition for guava to include 

many of the closely related genus 

(Psidium), species and varieties. EPA 

did not propose such a definition in the 

proposed rule and concluded that a 

guava definition was not necessary 

because it is one of the proposed 

representative commodities for crop 

subgroup 23B, ‘‘Tropical and 

Subtropical, medium to large fruit, 

edible peel subgroup’’. In conjunction 

with new Crop Group 23, EPA received 

a comment to the proposed rule from 

IR–4 that stated, in part: ‘‘. . . IR–4 

believes that this definition [for guava] 

is necessary because both fig and guava 

are required as representative 

commodities for Crop Subgroup 23B 

and all of the related guava varieties and 

subspecies would not be covered except 

with a subgroup tolerance.’’ 

Upon review of the comment from IR– 

4, EPA agrees that a commodity 

definition for guava will be helpful to 

provide additional information on the 

closely related species and varieties of 

guava that are included for the 

commodity. Therefore, in conjunction 

with new Crop Group 23 and Crop 

Subgroup 23B, EPA is adopting a 

commodity definition for Guava to be 

added to § 180.1(g). 

No additional comments were 

submitted on this provision, and EPA 

adopts its proposal with the changes 

noted in the previous discussion. 

E. Crop Group 24: Tropical and 

Subtropical Fruit, Inedible Peel Group 

EPA received several comments to the 

proposed Crop Group 24, which are 

individually addressed in this unit. 

The Agency received a comment 

objecting to ‘‘Tropical and Subtropical’’ 

being removed from the proposed 

subgroups titled ‘‘Small Fruit, inedible 

peel subgroup 24A’’; ‘‘medium to large 

fruit, smooth, inedible peel subgroup 

24B’’; ‘‘medium to large fruit, rough or 

hairy, inedible peel subgroup 24C’’; 

‘‘Inedible Peel, cactus subgroup 24D’’; 

and ‘‘Inedible Peel, vine subgroup 24E’’. 

The commenter stated these names 

could result in misunderstanding of 

which commodities are included in the 

adopted Crop Group 24. 

EPA agrees with the commenter that 

removal of the names ‘‘Tropical and 

Subtropical’’ from the adopted 

subgroups as proposed, could result in 

misunderstanding. For clarity the 

subgroups will be named as follows: 

‘‘Tropical and Subtropical, small fruit, 

inedible peel subgroup 24A’’; ‘‘Tropical 

and Subtropical, medium to large fruit, 

smooth, inedible peel subgroup 24B’’; 

‘‘Tropical and Subtropical, medium to 

large fruit, rough or hairy, inedible peel 

subgroup 24C’’; ‘‘Tropical and 

Subtropical, inedible peel, cactus 

subgroup 24D’’; and ‘‘Tropical and 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
26474 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

Subtropical, inedible peel, vine 

subgroup 24E’’. 

1. Commodities. The final rule adopts 

104 commodities to the new Crop Group 

24. 

2. Representative Commodities. The 

final rule adopts the proposed Atemoya 

or Sugar apple; Avocado; Pomegranate 

or Banana; Dragon fruit; Prickly pear, 

fruit; Lychee; Passionfruit; and 

Pineapple as representative 

commodities. 

3. New Subgroups. The final rule 

adopts the proposed five subgroups to 

the new Crop Group 24. 

i. Tropical and Subtropical, Small 

fruit, inedible peel subgroup 24A. 

(Representative commodity—Lychee). 

Nineteen commodities are included in 

the subgroup. 

EPA received a comment from the 

University of Hawaii, requesting 

removal of Longan from subgroup 24C 

and placing it in Crop subgroup 24A. 

The request is based on the size and 

texture of the fruit although it is similar 

to lychee, the adopted representative 

commodity for subgroup 24A. 

EPA agrees with the commenter to 

move Longan from Crop subgroup 24C 

to Crop subgroup 24A. Therefore, 

nineteen commodities are now in 

subgroup 24A. 

ii. Tropical and Subtropical, medium 

to large fruit, smooth, inedible peel 

subgroup 24B. (Representative 

commodities—Avocado, plus 

Pomegranate or Banana) Forty-two 

commodities are included in this 

subgroup. 

iii. Tropical and Subtropical, medium 

to large fruit, rough or hairy, inedible 

peel subgroup 24C. (Representative 

commodities—Pineapple, plus atemoya 

or sugar apple). 26 commodities are 

included in this subgroup. 

As stated previously, the final rule 

moves Longan from the proposed Crop 

subgroup 24C to Crop subgroup 24A. 

Therefore, there are now 26 

commodities included in this subgroup. 

iv. Tropical and Subtropical, Inedible 

peel, cactus subgroup 24D. 

(Representative commodities—Dragon 

fruit and Prickly pear fruit). Nine 

commodities are included in this 

subgroup. 

v. Tropical and Subtropical, Inedible 

peel, vine subgroup 24E. (Representative 

commodity—Passionfruit). Eight 

commodities are included in this 

subgroup. 

No additional comments were 

submitted on this provision, and EPA 

adopts its proposal without change. 

F. Other Changes 

No comments were submitted on the 

proposed ‘‘other changes’’ provisions, 

and EPA adopts its proposal without 

change. 

G. Other Comments 

EPA received one comment from the 

Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation 

requesting that EPA ensure the 

opportunity for some other orphan 

crops grown in Hawaii to be listed in 

future crop groupings scenarios. Those 

crops of concern are coffee (Coffea 

arabica), tea (Camellia sinensis), awa/

kava (Piper methysticum), moringa 

(Moringa oleifera), and noni (Morinda 

citrifolia). 

The primary reasons for the on-going 

crop grouping effort is to include as 

many orphan crops into groups, as 

appropriate, to facilitate trade and to 

provide tools for producers of minor 

and specialty crops. EPA is making 

every effort to include all appropriate 

commodities into crop groups. The crop 

groups discussed in this document are 

based on five petitions developed by the 

International Crop Grouping Consulting 

Committee (ICGCC) workgroup and 

submitted to EPA by IR–4. EPA 

encourages the Hawaii Farm Bureau 

Federation to participate in the ICGCC 

to ensure all commodities important to 

their growers are considered. 

Additionally, just as with this action, 

there will be an opportunity to provide 

comments on any future proposed crop 

groups. 

One commenter disagreed with 

placing Kei apple (Dovyalis caffra) and 

Sapote, white (Casimiroa edulis) in 

Crop Group 24. The commenter believes 

the edible peel of the fruit should place 

the fruits in Crop Group 23. EPA does 

not agree that Crop Group 23 is 

appropriate for these two commodities. 

Kei apples are small, petalless, and 

clustered in the leaf axils. The aromatic 

fruit is oblate or nearly round and long, 

with bright yellow, smooth but minutely 

downy, somewhat tough skin. Aromatic 

fruit is also mealy, apricot-textured, 

juicy, and has highly acid flesh. Most 

people consider the fruit too acidic for 

eating out-of-hand even when fully ripe. 

The skin for Sapote, white is thin, 

papery, smooth, inedible, and covered 

with a very thin waxy bloom. The skin 

should be thickly peeled to remove the 

bitter flesh underneath. Fruit can also be 

halved and the pulp can be scooped out. 

V. The Final Rule 

After fully considering all comments, 

EPA is amending the names of a few 

commodities, and adopting changes to 

its proposal as discussed in Unit IV. 

EPA is otherwise finalizing the rule as 

proposed, and based on the rationales 

set forth in the proposed rule. 

VI. Implementation 

When an existing crop group is 

amended in a manner that expands or 

contracts its coverage of commodities, 

EPA will retain the pre-existing crop 

group in § 180.41; insert the revised 

crop group immediately after the preexisting crop group in § 180.41; and title 

the revised crop group in a way that 

clearly differentiates it from the preexisting crop group. 

The revised crop group will retain 

roughly the same name and number as 

the pre-existing group, except the 

number will be followed by a hyphen 

and the final digits of the year 

established (e.g., Crop Group 4–16). 

EPA will initially retain pre-existing 

crop groups that have been superseded 

by revised crop groups. EPA will not 

establish new tolerances under the preexisting groups. Further, EPA plans to 

eventually convert tolerances for any 

pre-existing crop group to tolerances 

with coverage under the revised crop 

group. This conversion will occur 

through the registration review process 

and in the course of evaluating new uses 

for a pesticide registration. EPA requests 

that petitioners for tolerances address 

crop grouping in their petitions. For 

existing petitions for which a Notice of 

Filing has been published, the Agency 

will attempt to conform these petitions 

to this rule. 

VII. International Considerations 

In the proposed rule, EPA described 

other related activities involving active 

participation by its North American 

Free Trade Agreement partners, 

Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory 

Agency and the government of Mexico, 

IR–4, and the Codex Committee on 

Pesticide Residues. The goals of these 

activities remain minimizing differences 

within and among the United States and 

Codex groups and to develop 

representative commodities for each 

group that will be acceptable on an 

international basis, which in turn could 

lead to the increased harmonization of 

tolerances and MRL recommendations.

IX. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Additional information about these 

statutes and Executive Orders can be 

found at http://www2.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders. 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action is not a significant 

regulatory action and was therefore not 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review for review 

under Executive Orders 12866, October 

4, 1993 (58 FR 51735) and 13563, 

January 21, 2011 (76 FR 3821). 

EPA prepared an analysis of the 

potential costs and benefits associated 

with the first proposed rule issued in 

this series of updates (Ref. 2). This 

analysis, entitled ‘‘Economic Analysis 

Proposed Expansion of Crop Grouping 

Program,’’ is available in the docket. 

Because the costs and benefits of each 

update to the crop grouping rule are 

essentially the same, and generally 

involve reductions in regulatory 

burdens and costs, EPA believes the 

May 23, 2007 economic analysis 

continues to be applicable. This was 

discussed in Unit V. of the proposed 

rule for Group IV, and EPA did not 

receive any comments on the analysis or 

EPA’s findings. 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

This action does not impose any new 

information collection requirements that 

would require additional review or 

approval by OMB under the PRA, 44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq. However, this action 

is expected to reduce paperwork 

burdens associated with submissions for 

tolerance related actions. For example, 

it may reduce the number of residue 

chemistry studies required to establish a 

tolerance for a crop within these groups 

because instead of testing each crop, 

only the representative crops would 

need to be tested under a crop grouping 

scheme. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

I certify that this action will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. In 

making this determination, the impact 

of concern is any significant adverse 

economic impact on small entities. An 

agency may certify that a rule will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities if 

the rule relieves regulatory burden, has 

no net burden or otherwise has a 

positive economic effect on the small 

entities subject to the rule. 

This action provides regulatory relief 

and regulatory flexibility. The new crop 

groups ease the process for an entity to 

request and for EPA to set pesticide 

tolerances on greater numbers of crops. 

Pesticides will be more widely available 

to growers for use on crops, particularly 

specialty crops. This action is not 

expected to have any adverse impact on 

any entities, regardless of size. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain an 

unfunded federal mandate of $100 

million or more as described in UMRA, 

2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. Accordingly, this action is 

not subject to the requirements of 

UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132, August 10, 1999 (64 FR 

43255). It will not 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. Thus, Executive 

Order 13132 does not apply to this 

action. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13175, November 9, 2000 (65 FR 

67249). This action will not have any 

effect on tribal governments, 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. Thus, 

Executive Order 13175 does not apply 

to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045, April 23, 1997 (62 FR 19885) as 

applying only to those regulatory 

actions that concern environmental 

health or safety risks that the EPA has 

reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it does not concern an 

environmental health risk or safety risk. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, May 22, 2001 (66 FR 

28355), because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

This rulemaking does not involve 

technical standards that would require 

the consideration of voluntary 

consensus standards pursuant to 

NTTAA section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 

note. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

This action does not involve special 

consideration of environmental justice 

related issues as specified in Executive 

Order 12898, February 16, 1994 (59 FR 

7629). This action does not address 

human health or environmental risks or 

otherwise have any disproportionate 

high and adverse human health or 

environmental effects on minority, lowincome or indigenous populations. 

IX. Congressional Review Act 

This action is subject to the CRA, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., and EPA will submit 

a rule report to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. This action is not 

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

804(2).

■ 3. In § 180.40, revise paragraphs (e) 

and (f) to read as follows: 

§ 180.40 Tolerances for crop groups. 

* * * * * 

(e) Since a group tolerance reflects 

maximum residues likely to occur on all 

individual crops within a group, the 

proposed or registered patterns of use 

for all crops in the group or subgroup 

must be similar before a group tolerance 

is established. The pattern of use 

consists of the amount of pesticide 

applied, the number of times applied, 

the timing of the first application, the 

interval between applications, and the 

interval between the last application 

and harvest. The pattern of use will also 

include the type of application; for 

example, soil or foliar application, or 

application by ground or aerial 

equipment. Additionally, since a group 

tolerance reflects maximum residues 

likely to occur on all individual foods 

within a group, food processing 

practices must be similar for all crops in 

the group or subgroup if the processing 

practice has the potential to result in 

residues in a processed commodity at a 

higher concentration than the raw 

agricultural commodity. 

(f)(1) General. EPA will not establish 

a crop group for a pesticide unless all 

tolerances made necessary by the 

presence of pesticide residues in the 

crop group commodities have been 

issued or are being issued 

simultaneously with the crop group 

tolerance. For purposes of paragraph 

(f)(1): 

(i) Necessary tolerances for residues 

resulting from crop group tolerances 

include: 

(A) Tolerances for processed food, 

including processed animal feed, to the 

extent needed under FFDCA section 

408(a)(2). 

(B) Tolerances for raw commodities 

not covered by the crop group tolerance 

that are derivative of commodities in the 

group. 

(C) Tolerances for meat, milk, or egg 

products that may contain residues as a 

result of livestock’s consumption of 

animal feed containing pesticide 

residues to the extent needed under 

§ 180.6(b). 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a 

tolerance is not considered necessary for 

processed food, derivative raw 

commodities, or meat, milk, and eggs if 

the precursor raw commodities are 

grown solely for sale as raw 

commodities and are completely 

segregated from commodities grown for 

the purpose of producing processed 

foods, derivative raw commodities, and 

commodities, or fractions thereof, that 

are used as animal feed. 

(2) Processed commodity and related 

raw commodity crop group tolerances. 

EPA may establish crop group 

tolerances for processed commodities or 

fractions of commodities (e.g., bran and 

flour from the Cereal Grains Group), 

including processed fractions used as 

animal feed (e.g., pomace from the Pome 

Fruit Group), produced from crops in 

the crop groups in § 180.41. EPA may 

establish crop group tolerances for raw 

commodities or fractions of 

commodities, including fractions used 

as animal feed, derived from 

commodities covered by the crop groups 

in § 180.41 (e.g., aspirated grain dust 

associated with the Cereal Grains 

Group). Crop group tolerances on 

processed foods and derivative raw 

commodities may be based on data on 

representative commodities for 

associated crop group. Paragraphs (c), 

(d), (e), (g), and (h) of § 180.40 apply to 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 26477 

group tolerances authorized by 

paragraph (f)(2). 

(3) Representative crops. Unless 

indicated otherwise in §§ 180.40 and 

180.41, the processed food and feed 

forms of the representative crops for a 

crop group are considered to be 

representative of the processed food and 

feed forms and any derivative raw 

commodities not covered by the crop 

group, that are produced from any of the 

raw agricultural commodities covered 

by the crop group tolerance. 

Additionally, unless indicated 

otherwise in §§ 180.40 and 180.41, 

representative commodities for such 

crop groups are selected taking into 

consideration whether their use as 

animal feed will result in residues in or 

on meat, milk, and/or eggs at a level 

representative of the residues that 

would result from use of the other 

commodities or byproducts in the crop 

group as an animal feed. 

(4) Data. Processing data on 

representative crops are required prior 

to establishment of a group tolerance if 

the processing of the representative 

commodity has the potential to result in 

residues in a processed commodity at a 

higher concentration than in the 

representative commodity. Residue data 

are required on raw commodities 

derived from the crops in the crop group 

tolerance but not directly covered by the 

tolerance. Animal feeding studies with 

a representative crop are required if the 

representative crop is used as a 

significant animal feed. 

* * * * * 

■ 4. In § 180.41: 

■ i. Revise paragraph (b). 

■ ii. Redesignate paragraphs (c)(6) 

through (28) as paragraphs (c)(7) 

through (29), respectively. 

■ iii. Add a new paragraph (c)(6). 

■ iv. Redesignate newly redesignated 

paragraphs (c)(8) through (29) as 

paragraphs (c)(9) through (30), 

respectively. 

■ v. Add a new paragraph (c)(8). 

■ vi. Revise newly redesignated 

paragraphs (c)(25)(ii), (c)(26)(ii), and 

(c)(27)(ii) introductory text. 

■ vii. Add paragraphs (c)(31), (32), and 

(33). 

The additions and revisions read as 

follows: 

§ 180.41 Crop group tables. 

* * * * * 

(b) Commodities not listed are not 

considered as included in the groups for 

the purposes of paragraph (b), and 

individual tolerances must be 

established. Miscellaneous commodities 

intentionally not included in any group 

include globe artichoke, hops, peanut, 

and water chestnut.
