ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

[OPP–300523; FRL–5734–6]

Raw and Processed Food Schedule for

Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s

schedule for reassessing tolerances for

pesticide residues in or on raw and

processed foods. Publication of this

schedule meets the requirements of

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

(FFDCA) section 408(q)(3), as

established by the Food Quality

Protection Act of 1996. Under the new

law, EPA is required to reassess all

existing tolerances and exemptions from

tolerances for both active and inert

ingredients. EPA is directed to give

priority review to pesticides that appear

to present risk concerns based on

current data. In reassessing tolerances,

EPA must consider the aggregate

exposure to the pesticide; cumulative

effects from other pesticides with a

common mode of toxicity; whether

there is an increased susceptibility from

exposure to the pesticide to infants and

children; and whether the pesticide

produces an effect in humans similar to

an effect produced by a naturally

occurring estrogen or other endocrine

effects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The FFDCA authorizes EPA to

establish tolerances (maximum residue

levels) or exemptions from the

requirement of a tolerance, and to

modify and revoke tolerances for

residues of pesticide chemicals in or on

raw agricultural commodities and

processed food. Without a tolerance or

exemption, food containing pesticide

residues is considered to be adulterated

and may not be legally moved in

interstate commerce. Tolerance

procedures are contained in 40 CFR

parts 177 through 180; all tolerances

and exemptions are listed in parts 180,

185, and 186. Monitoring and

enforcement of pesticide tolerances are

carried out by the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) and the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA). This

includes monitoring for pesticide

residues in or on commodities imported

into the United States.

On August 3, 1996, the Food Quality

Protection Act (FQPA) was signed into

law. Effective upon signature, FQPA

significantly amended the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act (FIFRA) and the FFDCA. One new

FFDCA provision established by FQPA

requires the reassessment of all existing

tolerances and exemptions from the

requirement of a tolerance in a manner

consistent with the requirements of the

new law.

Prior to FQPA, EPA reassessed

tolerances as part of its reregistration

process for pesticides registered prior to

November 1984. For pesticide chemicals

registered after November 1984 (known

as the post-1984 chemicals) and for

newly registered pesticides, EPA has

used the registration process to ensure

that the best available information is

used to assess the safety of tolerances

and exemptions.

II. Regulatory Requirements of FFDCA

Section 408(q) of the FFDCA requires

that EPA review within ten years all

tolerances and exemptions established

prior to the August 3, 1996 enactment

of FQPA, giving priority to the review

of those tolerances or exemptions that

appear to pose the greatest risk to public

health. In its review of these tolerances

and exemptions, EPA must meet the

following time table: 33 percent of

applicable tolerances and exemptions

must be reviewed by August 1999, 66

percent by August 2002, and 100

percent by August 2006. FQPA also

requires that by August 3, 1997, EPA

publish a schedule of its reassessment of

these tolerances and exemptions.

Today’s notice satisfies that

requirement. Although publication of

this tolerance reassessment schedule is

not a rulemaking and is not subject to

judicial review, EPA welcomes

responses to this schedule from

interested parties and the general

public. Please see part VI, ‘‘Effective

Date and Public Response,’’ for

information on how to respond to this

notice.

III. Tolerances and Exemptions Subject

to Reassessment

At the time of FQPA’s August 1996

enactment, there were 9,728 tolerances

and exemptions for active and inert

ingredients that are subject to the FQPA

reassessment time table in section

408(q). Of the tolerances and

exemptions for active ingredients

subject to the reassessment schedule,

8,190 are tolerances and 712 are

exemptions. Also subject to

reassessment are 826 exemptions for

inert ingredients.

IV. Tolerance Reassessment Program

All existing tolerances and

exemptions will be reviewed in the

course of the tolerance reassessment

program, initially as part of the

Agency’s pesticide reregistration

program and later as part of the

registration renewal program. First,

tolerance reassessment will occur as a

part of the reregistration process. That

is, tolerances and exemptions for a

pesticide chemical subject to

reregistration are reassessed at the time

that the reregistration eligibility

decision (RED) is completed for the

pesticide. EPA will also reassess

tolerances and exemptions associated

with pesticides for which REDs were

issued before FQPA’s August 1996

enactment and therefore require

tolerance reassessments conducted

according to FQPA standards, pesticides

that were registered after 1984 and

therefore are not subject to

reregistration, and food-use inert

ingredients. In 2003, after completion of

the reregistration program, tolerance

reassessment will become an output of

the registration renewal process.

A. Reassessment Considerations

In reassessing tolerances, FQPA

requires that EPA consider, among other

things, the best available data and

information on the following:
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 149 / Monday, August 4, 1997 / Notices 42021

• The aggregate exposure to the

pesticide (including exposure from

residential pesticide uses and drinking

water).

• The cumulative effects from other

pesticides sharing a common

mechanism of toxicity.

• Whether there is an increased

susceptibility from exposure to the

pesticide to infants and children.

• Whether the pesticide produces an

effect in humans similar to an effect

produced by a naturally occurring

estrogen, or other endocrine effects.

B. Tolerance Reassessment Priorities

In order to comply with FQPA

reassessment priorities and

reregistration scheduling requirements,

EPA has divided the pesticides with

tolerances and exemptions subject to the

reassessment schedule into three

groups. In general, tolerances and

exemptions for Group 1 pesticides will

be subject to reassessment first,

followed by groups 2 and 3. While the

actual reassessment of the tolerances

and exemptions in these three groups

may not correspond directly with the

three FQPA reassessment deadlines of

August 1999, August 2002, and August

2006, this grouping reflects the overall

scheduling priorities for tolerance

reassessment.

1. Group 1—i. Risk- and hazard-based

priorities. EPA has placed into Group 1

those tolerances and exemptions

associated with the following types of

pesticides, which based on the best

available information to date appear to

pose the greatest risk to the public

health:

(1) Pesticides of the organophosphate,

carbamate, and organochlorine classes

(it is EPA’s intent to conduct tolerance

reassessments for organophosphate

pesticides in the first three years of the

schedule).

(2) Pesticides that EPA has classified

as probable human (groups B1 and B2)

carcinogens, and possible human (group

C) carcinogens for which EPA has

quantified a cancer potency.

(3) High-hazard inert ingredients.

(4) Any pesticides that, based on the

best available data at the time of

scheduling, exceed their reference dose

(RfD).

In making the determination as to

which pesticides appear to pose the

greatest risk to the public health,

whenever possible EPA has taken into

account exposure to infants, children,

and other sensitive subpopulations.

ii. Reregistration priorities. Because

EPA must, in addition to meeting the

tolerance reassessment schedule, also

complete the reregistration program by

2002, tolerance reassessments for those

pesticides for which REDs were

substantially complete prior to FQPA’s

enactment are also included in Group 1,

even though the tolerances for these

pesticides may not be among those that

appear to pose the greatest risk to the

public health. For the sake of

completeness and for tracking purposes,

those food-use pesticides for which

REDs were issued after August 3, 1996

are also listed in Group 1, even though

EPA has completed their FQPA

tolerance reassessments.

iii. Tolerance revocations. EPA has

also placed in Group 1 pesticides for

which tolerances and exemptions are in

the process of being proposed for

revocation. These tolerances and

exemptions are included in the total

9,728 tolerances and exemptions. In

some cases, revocations reduce

theoretical risk in dietary assessments

where tolerance-level residues are used.

This year, EPA has begun to issue a

number of proposed rules to revoke over

1,000 tolerances and exemptions: one

notice proposes to revoke tolerances and

exemptions associated with pesticides

for which all registrations have been

canceled; a second notice proposes to

revoke tolerances for uses that have

been deleted from pesticide

registrations; a third notice proposes to

revoke tolerances for uses canceled in

order to reduce theoretical risks to

levels below the reference dose; a fourth

notice, already issued, proposes to

revoke tolerances for uses no longer

considered to be significant livestock

feed items; and several other notices

propose to revoke tolerances for

individual pesticides.

2. Group 2. Possible human

carcinogens not included in Group 1

will be reassessed as part of Group 2.

Because EPA intends to complete the

reregistration program in 2002,

tolerances and exemptions for all

remaining pesticides subject to

reregistration will also be reassessed as

part of Group 2. Other pesticides have

been placed into Group 2 based on

scheduling considerations.

3. Group 3. EPA has placed in Group

3 the biological pesticides, as well as

those inert ingredients referenced in 40

CFR part 180 that EPA has not

identified as high-hazard inerts. Also in

Group 3 are, as part of the registration

renewal program, those post-1984

pesticides with tolerances and/or

exemptions not yet reassessed under

FQPA.

V. Tolerance Reassessment Schedule

This section presents EPA’s schedule

for reassessing tolerances and

exemptions. The schedule is presented

in two tables: In Table 1, column A lists

the three tolerance reassessment time

frames mandated by FFDCA section

408(q)(1), as established by FQPA;

column B estimates the total number of

tolerances and exemptions that should

be reassessed by the end of each period.

Table 2 is a comprehensive list of the

pesticides with tolerances and/or

exemptions subject to tolerance

reassessment from the date of this notice

until August 3, 2006, divided into

groups 1, 2, and 3. Where EPA had the

information readily available, the

pesticides within a group are arranged

according to their chemical class; within

a chemical class, pesticides are listed

alphabetically. The pesticide names

listed in Table 2 correspond with their

listing in 40 CFR parts 180, 185, and

186, where some common names are

also given. Note that each individual

pesticide listing may encompass more

than one active ingredient. Please refer

to the tolerance listings in 40 CFR parts

180, 185, and 186 for further

information on the active ingredients

covered by specific tolerance citations.

In all, there are a total of 469

pesticides or high-hazard inert

ingredients with food use tolerances

that are scheduled for reassessment.

This includes 228 in group 1, 93 in

group 2 and 148 in group 3. Also, there

are an additional 823 inert ingredient

exemptions that will be dealt with as

part of group 3. The total number of

pesticides may change during the course

of the process, as, for example, in the

case of canceled registrations.

VI. Effective Date and Public Response

This schedule is not subject to a

formal public comment period, and

therefore becomes effective upon

publication in the Federal Register.

Prior to issuance of this notice, EPA

involved various stakeholders through

the Pesticide Program Dialogue

Committee in a public discussion of

EPA’s tolerance reassessment program

and scheduling priorities. Nevertheless,

EPA welcomes additional input from

interested parties and the general

public, in particular: (1) if they believe

there are pesticides that should appear

on the list but are omitted from it; or (2)

if they believe there are pesticides that

should be dropped from the list. The

Agency will also keep the list of

pesticides up-to-date in its periodic

reports to Congress on this program.

alphabetically within a given chemical

class. The chemical class determination

is not equivalent to a common

mechanism of action determination.

Those evaluations are underway. When

no chemical class is given, it is assumed

that the pesticide is not a member of an

identified class of chemicals. Note that

the oxime carbamates are structurally

different from carbamates; however, it

has not been determined if they share a

common mechanism of action. A
