6534 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 29 / Wednesday, February 12, 1997 / Notices

Regarding non-occupational

exposures, sethoxydim is registered for

use in non-crop areas and around the

home and may have some potential for

exposure to the general public.

However, as discussed for clethodim,

sethoxydim cannot be applied to grass

where public contact is expected and

sethoxydim is not persistent in the

environment. Valent expects that nonoccupational exposures to the public are

therefore expected to be minimal for

sethoxydim.

In summary, Valent expects that

dietary exposure for clethodim and

sethoxydim are each expected to occupy

less than 10% of their RfD’s when

anticipated residue levels and percent of

crop treated values are considered.

Exposures through the drinking water or

other non-occupational routes are

expected to be minimal. Collectively,

Valent believes that the aggregate risks

associated with the uses of these two

chemicals is small and demonstrates a

reasonable certainty of no harm to the

public.

2. Infants and children. As discussed

above, dietary exposure for clethodim

and sethoxydim is greatest for children

ages 1 to 6 years or non- nursing infants

less than 1 year old. However, using a

realistic approach to estimating

exposures, exposures are expected to be

below 10% of the RfD for each chemical

even for infants and children. The

databases for clethodim and sethoxydim

are complete relative to current pre- and

post-natal toxicity testing requirements

including developmental toxicity

studies in two species and multigeneration reproduction studies in rats.

Reproduction and developmental effects

have been found in toxicology studies

for clethodim and sethoxydim, but the

effects were seen at levels that were also

maternally toxic. This indicates that

developing animals are not more

sensitive than adults. FQPA requires an

additional safety factor of up to 10 for

chemicals which represent special risks

to infants or children. Clethodim and

sethoxydim do not meet the criterion for

application of an additional safety factor

for infants and children. Valent believes

that this demonstrates a reasonable

certainty of no harm to children and

infants from the proposed uses of

clethodim.

3. International tolerances. Although

some have been proposed, there are no

Canadian, Mexican, or Codex tolerances

or maximum residue limits established

for clethodim on tomatoes, alfalfa,

peanuts, or dry beans. There are no

conflicts between this proposed action

and international residue limits.
