II. Background 

On November 2, 2015, EPA published 

a final rule making changes to the WPS, 

40 CFR part 170, referred to as the 

‘‘2015 revised WPS’’ (80 FR 67496) 

(FRL–9931–81). The WPS is a regulation 

primarily intended to reduce the risks of 

injury or illness resulting from 

agricultural workers’ and handlers’ use 

of and contact with agricultural 

pesticides on farms, forests, nurseries 

and greenhouses. The rule primarily 

seeks to protect workers (those who 

perform hand-labor tasks on pesticidetreated crops, such as harvesting, 

thinning or pruning) and handlers 

(those who mix, load and apply 

pesticides). The 2015 revised WPS 

requirements retained many of the 1992 

WPS requirements, while increasing the 

stringency of some standards and 

adding new requirements. 

III. Availability of Training Materials 

and Deadline for Compliance With New 

Training Requirements 

Sections 170.401 and 170.501 of the 

2015 revised WPS allowed employers to 

omit certain topics from training 

materials until 180 days after EPA 

publishes in the Federal Register a 

notification of availability of new WPS 

training materials. EPA is announcing 

the availability of new training materials 

covering the expanded training content 

for both workers and handlers. These 

materials, developed through a 

cooperative agreement with the 

Pesticide Education Resources 

Collaborative (PERC), are available at 

http://pesticideresources.org/. These 

materials have been approved by EPA 

and contain the content required by the 

2015 revised WPS. There are also new 

training materials developed by other 

organizations that have been approved 

by EPA and contain the content 

required by the 2015 revised WPS; some 

of these materials are available on the 

PERC website and others are 

proprietary. 

EPA is currently reconsidering three 

requirements of the 2015 revised WPS 

and plans to solicit comments on 

potential changes to the designated 

representative provision, the minimum 

age for handlers and early-entry 

workers, and the application exclusion 

zone. If those requirements are changed 

through a final rulemaking, training 

materials may need to be amended to 

reflect such changes. 

The publication of this notification of 

availability of the training materials 

specified in 40 CFR 170.401(c)(3) and 

170.501(c)(3) commences the 180-day 

period provided in those provisions. Per 

§§ 170.401(c)(3) and 170.501(c)(3), WPS 

training programs must include all of 

the topics specified in 

§§ 170.401(c)(3)(i)–(xxiii) and 

170.501(c)(3)(i)–(xiv) no later than 

December 19, 2018.

II. Background and Statutory Findings 

In the Federal Register of April 11, 

2018 (83 FR 15528) (FRL–9975–57), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

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

announcing the receipt of a pesticide 

petition (PP IN–11112) filed by SciReg, 

Inc., 12733 Director’s Loop, 

Woodbridge, VA 22192 on behalf of 

Solvay USA Inc., 504 Carnegie Center 

Princeton, NJ 08540. The petition 

requested that 40 CFR 180.960 be 

amended by establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer 

with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]

methylether] ether (CAS Reg. No. 

2112825–11–1). That document 

included a summary of the petition 

prepared by the petitioner and solicited 

comments on the petitioner’s request. 

No relevant comments were received on 

the notice of filing. 

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 exemption is ‘‘safe.’’ 

Section 408(c)(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 

use 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 an 

exemption from the requirement of 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 . . .’’ and specifies 

factors EPA is to consider in 

establishing an exemption. 

III. Risk Assessment and Statutory 

Findings 

EPA establishes exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance only in those 

cases where it can be shown 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 FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the 

available scientific data and other 

relevant information in support of this 

action and considered its validity, 

completeness and reliability and the 

relationship of this information to 

human risk. EPA has also considered 

available information concerning the 

variability of the sensitivities of major 

identifiable subgroups of consumers, 

including infants and children. In the 

case of certain chemical substances that 

are defined as polymers, the Agency has 

established a set of criteria to identify 

categories of polymers expected to 

present minimal or no risk. The 

definition of a polymer is given in 40 

CFR 723.250(b) and the exclusion 

criteria for identifying these low-risk 

polymers are described in 40 CFR 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
29016 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

723.250(d). oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer 

with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]

methylether] ether conforms to the 

definition of a polymer given in 40 CFR 

723.250(b) and meets the following 

criteria that are used to identify low-risk 

polymers. 

1. The polymer is not a cationic 

polymer nor is it reasonably anticipated 

to become a cationic polymer in a 

natural aquatic environment. 

2. The polymer does contain as an 

integral part of its composition at least 

two of the atomic elements carbon, 

hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, and 

sulfur. 

3. The polymer does not contain as an 

integral part of its composition, except 

as impurities, any element other than 

those listed in 40 CFR 723.250(d)(2)(ii). 

4. The polymer is neither designed 

nor can it be reasonably anticipated to 

substantially degrade, decompose, or 

depolymerize. 

5. The polymer is manufactured or 

imported from monomers and/or 

reactants that are already included on 

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory 

or manufactured under an applicable 

TSCA section 5 exemption. 

6. The polymer is not a water 

absorbing polymer with a number 

average molecular weight (MW) greater 

than or equal to 10,000 daltons. 

Additionally, the polymer also meets 

as required the following exemption 

criteria specified in 40 CFR 723.250(e). 

7. The polymer does not contain 

certain perfluoroalkyl moieties 

consisting of a CF3- or longer chain 

length as listed in 40 CFR 723.250(d)(6) 

Additionally, the polymer also meets 

as required the following exemption 

criteria: Specified in 40 CFR 723.250(e): 

The polymer’s number average MW of 

polymer’s number average MW is 

greater than 1,000 and less than 10,000 

daltons. The polymer contains less than 

10% oligomeric material below MW 500 

and less than 25% oligomeric material 

below MW 1,000, and the polymer 

contains only reactive functional groups 

listed in 40 CFR 723.250(e)(1)(ii)(A). 

Thus, oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer 

with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]

methylether] ether meets the criteria for 

a polymer to be considered low risk 

under 40 CFR 723.250. Based on its 

conformance to the criteria in this unit, 

no mammalian toxicity is anticipated 

from dietary, inhalation, or dermal 

exposure to oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer 

with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether. 

IV. Aggregate Exposures 

For the purposes of assessing 

potential exposure under this 

exemption, EPA considered that 

oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 

oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether could 

be present in all raw and processed 

agricultural commodities and drinking 

water, and that non-occupational nondietary exposure was possible. The 

number average MW of oxirane, 2- 

methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono[2- 

[2-(2-methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether is 

1900 daltons. Generally, a polymer of 

this size would be poorly absorbed 

through the intact gastrointestinal tract 

or through intact human skin. Since 

oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 

oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether 

conform to the criteria that identify a 

low-risk polymer, there are no concerns 

for risks associated with any potential 

exposure scenarios that are reasonably 

foreseeable. The Agency has determined 

that a tolerance is not necessary to 

protect the public health. 

V. Cumulative Effects From Substances 

With a Common Mechanism of Toxicity 

Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA 

requires that, when considering whether 

to establish, modify, or revoke a 

tolerance, the Agency consider 

‘‘available information’’ concerning the 

cumulative effects of a particular 

pesticide’s residues and ‘‘other 

substances that have a common 

mechanism of toxicity.’’ 

EPA has not found oxirane, 

2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, 

mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]

methylether] ether to share a common 

mechanism of toxicity with any other 

substances, and oxirane, 2-methyl-, 

polymer with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether does 

not appear to produce a toxic metabolite 

produced by other substances. For the 

purposes of this tolerance action, 

therefore, EPA has assumed that 

oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 

oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)methylethoxy]

methylether] ether does not have a 

common mechanism of toxicity with 

other substances. For information 

regarding EPA’s efforts to determine 

which chemicals have a common 

mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate 

the cumulative effects of such 

chemicals, see EPA’s website at http:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative. 

VI. Additional Safety Factor for the 

Protection of Infants and Children 

Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA 

provides that EPA shall apply an 

additional tenfold margin of safety for 

infants and children in the case of 

threshold effects to account for prenatal 

and postnatal toxicity and the 

completeness of the data base unless 

EPA concludes that a different margin of 

safety will be safe for infants and 

children. Due to the expected low 

toxicity of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer 

with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether, EPA 

has not used a safety factor analysis to 

assess the risk. For the same reasons the 

additional tenfold safety factor is 

unnecessary. 

VII. Determination of Safety 

Based on the conformance to the 

criteria used to identify a low-risk 

polymer, EPA concludes that there is a 

reasonable certainty of no harm to the 

U.S. population, including infants and 

children, from aggregate exposure to 

residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer 

with oxirane, mono[2-[2-(2- 

methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether. 

VIII. Other Considerations 

A. Existing Exemptions From a 

Tolerance 

There are no existing exemptions 

from a tolerance for oxirane, 

2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, 

mono[2-[2-(2-methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether 

polymers. 

B. 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. 

IX. Conclusion 

Accordingly, EPA finds that 

exempting residues of oxirane, 2- 

methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono[2- 

[2-(2-methoxymethylethoxy)

methylethoxy]methylether] ether from 

the requirement of a tolerance will be 

safe. 

X. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes a tolerance 

under FFDCA section 408(d) in 

response to a petition submitted to the 

Agency. The Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) has exempted these types 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 29017 

of actions from review under Executive 

Order 12866, entitled ‘‘Regulatory 

Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993). Because this action 

has been exempted from review under 

Executive Order 12866, this action 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 action 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 FFDCA section 408(d), 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 action 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 FFDCA 

section 408(n)(4). 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 action. In addition, this action 

does not impose any enforceable duty or 

contain any unfunded mandate as 

described under Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 

1501 et seq.). 

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 

(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). 

XI. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 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 the rule in the Federal 

Register. This action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
