ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is revoking certain 

tolerances in follow-up to canceled 

product registrations or uses for 

acephate, aldicarb, azinphos-methyl, 

etridiazole, fenarimol, imazamethabenzmethyl, tepraloxydim, thiazopyr, and 

tralkoxydim, and is revoking tolerance 

exemptions for certain pesticide active 

ingredients. However, EPA will not 

revoke the thiacloprid tolerances at this 

time that had been previously proposed 

for revocation. Also, EPA is making 

minor revisions to the section heading 

and introductory text for Pythium 

oligandrum DV 74. In addition, in 

accordance with current Agency 

practice, EPA is making revisions to the 

tolerance expression for 

imazamethabenz-methyl, and removing 

expired tolerances and tolerance 

exemptions for certain pesticide active 

ingredients. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

November 28, 2016. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before August 1, 2016, and must 

be filed in accordance with the

II. Background 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

In the Federal Register of July 22, 

2015 (80 FR 43373) (FRL–9929–12), 

EPA issued a proposed rule to revoke 

certain tolerances for acephate, aldicarb, 

azinphos-methyl, etridiazole, fenarimol, 

imazamethabenz-methyl, tepraloxydim, 

thiacloprid, thiazopyr, and tralkoxydim, 

and tolerance exemptions for certain 

pesticide active ingredients, in followup to canceled product registrations or 

uses. Also, EPA proposed to make 

minor revisions to the section heading 

and introductory text for Pythium 

oligandrum DV 74. In addition, in 

accordance with current Agency 

practice, EPA proposed to make minor 

revisions to the tolerance expression for 

imazamethabenz-methyl, and remove 

expired tolerances and tolerance 

exemptions for certain pesticide active 

ingredients. The proposal provided a 

60-day comment period. 

Since the proposed rule of July 22, 

2015, amendments for the last two 

acephate labels with succulent bean use 

(revising succulent bean to a non-food 

use) were approved by EPA, as 

anticipated and discussed in the 


sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 34903 

proposed rule. Therefore, EPA is 

revoking the acephate tolerances in 40 

CFR 180.108(a)(1) and (a)(3) on bean, 

succulent. 

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 comments on the proposal 

indicating 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, 

commenters retract 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). 

Among the comments received by 

EPA are the following: 

1. Aldicarb.—Comment by Ag Logic 

Chemical LLC (Ag Logic). The 

commenter requested that the aldicarb 

tolerances on sorghum be retained for 

possible future actions. Ag Logic stated 

that another registrant requested the 

voluntary cancellation of its aldicarb 

products for use on sorghum and now 

Ag Logic is the sole registrant for 

aldicarb. Also, Ag Logic stated it is 

reevaluating all current and potential 

agricultural uses for aldicarb and if it 

decides to apply for registration on 

sorghum it would be extremely 

beneficial to both Ag Logic and the 

Agency if the sorghum tolerances 

remained in place. 

Agency response. The use of aldicarb 

on sorghum was officially canceled in 

2009 (see details in the proposed rule of 

July 22, 2015) under section 6(f)(1) of 

FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136(d)(f)(1), under 

which a registrant of a pesticide product 

may request that the product 

registration be canceled or amended to 

terminate one or more uses. Because 

EPA canceled the sorghum use in 

response to a registrant’s voluntary 

request, and no other aldicarb products 

include a use on sorghum, there is 

currently no legal use of aldicarb on 

sorghum. EPA will not retain the 

tolerance based on the possibility that 

someone may apply for a new use on 

sorghum in the future. Tolerances are 

generally maintained for current uses. In 

addition, no comment specific to the 

need for retaining tolerances for aldicarb 

residues of concern on sorghum for 

import purposes was received by the 

Agency during the 60-day comment 

period. Therefore, EPA is revoking the 

tolerances for aldicarb in 40 CFR 

180.269(a) on sorghum, grain, bran; 

sorghum, grain, grain; and sorghum, 

grain, stover. 

2. Thiacloprid.—Comments by Bayer 

CropScience (BCS), BCS in Mexico, 

Power Farms Inc., the Ontario Apple 

Growers (OAG), and the Ontario Fruit 

and Vegetable Growers’ Association 

(OFVGA). The commenters requested 

that all the current tolerances for 

thiacloprid be retained for import 

purposes with the exception of the 

OFVGA, which asked that only the 

specific thiacloprid tolerances on pome 

fruit and wet apple pomace be 

maintained for import purposes. Also, 

BCS stated its intention to provide 

supporting data where necessary for all 

of the current thiacloprid tolerances. 

Agency response. In comments to the 

proposed rule, persons expressed a need 

for retention of the thiacloprid 

tolerances for import purposes. 

Therefore, EPA will not revoke the 

thiacloprid tolerances in 40 CFR 

180.594 at this time. However, because 

there are no longer any active food-use 

registrations in the United States and no 

comments were received by EPA which 

expressed a need for more time to 

exhaust existing stocks for domestic use, 

EPA is not changing its previous 

determination (as stated in the proposed 

rule of July 22, 2015) that existing stocks 

in the United States will be exhausted 

by February 8, 2017. EPA is noting in 

40 CFR 180.594 that the tolerances for 

thiacloprid have no U.S. registrations as 

of August 6, 2014. Also, retaining these 

tolerances may require submission of 

data to demonstrate their safety. For 

example, domestic U.S. residue data 

may not be representative of growing 

conditions and use patterns in other 

countries. EPA published guidance on 

pesticide import tolerances and residue 

data for imported food in the Federal 

Register notices of April 5, 2006 (71 FR 

17099) (FRL–7772–1) and June 1, 2000 

(65 FR 35069) (FRL–6559–3). 

With the exception of aldicarb and 

thiacloprid, the Agency did not receive 

any specific comments in the docket, 

during the 60-day comment period, 

concerning proposed tolerance actions 

associated with pesticide active 

ingredients, as described in the Federal 

Register of July 22, 2015. Therefore, 

with the exception of thiacloprid, EPA 

is finalizing revocations and 

amendments in the proposed rule of 

July 22, 2015. For a detailed discussion 

of the Agency’s rationale for the 

finalized tolerance actions, refer to the 

proposed rule of July 22, 2015. 

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 

tolerances and tolerance exemptions as 

follow-up on canceled uses of 

pesticides. 

C. When do these actions become 

effective? 

As stated in the DATES section, this 

regulation is effective November 28, 

2016. EPA is delaying the effective date 

of these finalized actions to allow a 

reasonable interval for producers in 

exporting members of the World Trade 

Organization’s Sanitary and 

Phytosanitary Measures Agreement to 

adapt to the requirements of a final rule. 

With the exception of fenarimol, 

imazamethabenz-methyl, and 

thiacloprid, EPA believes that existing 

stocks of the canceled or amended 

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. EPA is revoking 

certain tolerances for fenarimol, 

imazamethabenz-methyl, and 

tepraloxydim with expiration/

revocation dates. EPA believes that 

these revocation dates allow users to 

exhaust stocks and allow sufficient time 


sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES
34904 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

for passage of treated commodities 

through the channels of trade. 

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(1)(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 

United Nations 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 etridiazole, imazamethabenz-methyl, 

tepraloxydim, thiazopyr, and 

tralkoxydim. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

acephate, in or on various commodities, 

including beans, except broad bean and 

soya bean at 5 milligrams/kilogram (mg/ 

kg). The beans, except broad bean and 

soya bean MRL is different than the 

tolerance established for acephate on 

succulent bean in the United States, 

which EPA is revoking in this final rule. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

aldicarb, in or on various commodities, 

including sorghum at 0.1 mg/kg, which 

is covered by a current U.S. tolerance at 

a higher level than the MRL, and 

sorghum straw and fodder, dry at 0.5 

mg/kg, which is the same as the U.S. 

tolerance. The sorghum MRL is different 

than the tolerance established for 

aldicarb in the United States. In this 

final rule EPA is revoking the tolerances 

for aldicarb on sorghum, grain, bran; 

sorghum, grain, grain; and sorghum, 

grain, stover. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

azinphos-methyl in or on various 

commodities, including almond hulls 

and blueberries at 5 mg/kg, cherries, 

peach, and plums (including prunes) at 

2 mg/kg, and walnuts at 0.3 mg/kg. 

These MRLs are the same as the 

tolerances established for azinphosmethyl in the United States. In this final 

rule EPA is revoking the tolerances for 

azinphos-methyl on almond, hulls; 

blueberry; cherry; peach; plum, prune; 

and walnut. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

azinphos-methyl, in or on various 

commodities, including almonds and 

apple at 0.05 mg/kg (which are covered 

by current U.S. tolerances at a higher 

level than the MRLs), and pear at 2 mg/ 

kg. These MRLs are different than the 

tolerances established for azinphosmethyl in the United States. In this final 

rule EPA is revoking the tolerances for 

azinphos-methyl on almond; apple; and 

pear. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

fenarimol in or on various commodities, 

including cattle, liver at 0.05 mg/kg, 

cherries at 1 mg/kg, hops, dry at 5 mg/ 

kg, and pecan at 0.02 mg/kg. These 

MRLs are the same as the tolerances 

established for fenarimol in the United 

States. In this final rule EPA is revoking 

the tolerances for fenarimol residues in 

or on cattle, meat byproducts, except 

kidney; cherry, sweet; cherry, tart; hop, 

dried cones; and pecan; each with an 

expiration/revocation date. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

fenarimol, in or on various 

commodities, including cattle kidney 

and cattle meat at 0.02 mg/kg; and 

grapes at 0.3 mg/kg. These MRLs are 

different than the tolerances established 

for fenarimol in the United States. In 

this final rule EPA is revoking the 

tolerances for fenarimol residues in or 

on cattle, kidney; cattle, meat; and 

grape; each with an expiration/

revocation date. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

thiacloprid in or on various 

commodities, including cotton seed at 

0.02 mg/kg, peppers, sweet at 1 mg/kg, 

and stone fruits at 0.5 mg/kg (for U.S. 

tolerances on cherry subgroup and 

peach subgroup). These MRLs are the 

same as the tolerances established for 

thiacloprid in the United States. 

The Codex has established MRLs for 

thiacloprid, in or on various 

commodities, including milks at 0.05 

mg/kg; pome fruits at 0.7 mg/kg, and 

stone fruits at 0.5 mg/kg (for U.S. 

tolerance on plum subgroup). These 

MRLs are different than the tolerances 

established for thiacloprid in the United 

States because of differences in use 

patterns and/or agricultural practices. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

In this final rule, EPA revokes specific 

tolerances established under FFDCA 

section 408. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 

type of action (e.g., a 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 (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et 

seq.). 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 

(NTTAA) (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 revocations 

of tolerances 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. This analysis 

was published in the Federal Register of 

December 17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL– 

5753–1), and was provided to the Chief 


sradovich on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 1, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 34905 

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.) 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 

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 FFDCA section 408(n)(4). 

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 action. 

V. 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).
