II. Summary of Petitioned-For 

Tolerance 

In the Federal Register of July 5, 2023 

(88 FR 42935) (FRL–10579–05–OCSPP), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 

346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a 

pesticide petition (PP 2F9019) by BASF 

Corporation, 26 Davis Drive, P.O. Box 

13528, Research Triangle Park, NC 

27709. The petition requested that 40 

CFR 180.649(a)(1) be amended by 

establishing tolerances for residues of 

the herbicide saflufenacil, including its 

metabolites and degradates, in or on 

Corn, field, forage at 0.3 parts per 

million (ppm), Corn, field, milled 

byproducts at 0.125 ppm, and Corn, 

field, stover at 5.0 ppm. The petition 

also requested to amend the existing 

commodity definition in 40 CFR 

180.649(a)(1) for residues of the 

herbicide saflufenacil, including its 

metabolites and degradates, in or on 

‘‘Grain, cereal, forage, fodder and straw 

group 16 (except barley and wheat 

straw)’’ to ‘‘Grain, cereal, forage, hay, 

stover, and straw group 16–22 (except 

field corn forage, field corn stover, 

barley straw, wheat straw, and chia 

straw)’’ unchanged at 0.1 ppm. That 

document referenced a summary of the 

petition prepared by BASF Corporation, 

the registrant, which is available in the 

docket, https://www.regulations.gov. 

There were no comments received in 

response to the notice of filing. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition and in 

accordance with its authority under 

FFDCA section 408(d)(4)(A)(i), EPA has 

made modifications to the proposed 

tolerance values and commodity 

definitions. The reasons for these 

changes are explained in Unit IV.C. 

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and 

Determination of Safety 

Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA 

allows EPA to establish a tolerance (the 

legal limit for a pesticide chemical 

residue in or on a food) only if EPA 

determines that the tolerance is ‘‘safe.’’ 

Section 408(b)(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 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 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. . . .’’ 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(D), and the factors specified in 

FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has 

reviewed the available scientific data 

and other relevant information in 

support of this action. EPA has 

sufficient data to assess the hazards of 

and to make a determination on 

aggregate exposure for saflufenacil 

including exposure resulting from the 

tolerances established by this action. 

EPA’s assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with saflufenacil follows. 

In an effort to streamline its 

publications in the Federal Register, 

EPA is not reprinting sections that 

repeat what has been previously 

published for tolerance rulemakings for 

the same pesticide chemical. Where 

scientific information concerning a 

particular chemical remains unchanged, 

the content of those sections would not 

vary between tolerance rulemakings, 

and EPA considers referral back to those 

sections as sufficient to provide an 

explanation of the information EPA 

considered in making its safety 

determination for the new rulemaking. 

EPA has previously published a 

tolerance rulemaking in 2015 for 

saflufenacil in which EPA concluded, 

based on the available information, that 

there is a reasonable certainty that no 

harm would result from aggregate 

exposure to saflufenacil and established 

tolerances for residues of that chemical. 

EPA is incorporating previously 

published sections from that rulemaking 

as described further in this rulemaking, 

as they remain unchanged. 

Toxicological profile. For a discussion 

of the toxicological profile for 

saflufenacil, see Unit III.A. of the 

saflufenacil tolerance rulemaking 

published in the Federal Register of 

November 25, 2015 (80 FR 73663) (FRL– 

9936–71). 

Toxicological points of departure/ 

Levels of concern. A summary of the 

toxicological points of departure and 

levels of concern for saflufenacil used 

for human health risk assessment is 

discussed in Unit III.B. of the November 

25, 2015, rulemaking. 

Exposure assessment. Much of the 

exposure assessment remains 

unchanged from the November 2015 

rulemaking, although updates have 

occurred to accommodate the exposures 

from the petitioned-for tolerances. 

These updates are discussed in this 

section; for a description of the rest of 

the EPA approach to and assumptions 

for the exposure assessment, see Unit 

III.C of the November 25, 2015, 

rulemaking. 

EPA’s dietary exposure assessments 

have been updated to include the 

additional exposure from the petitionedfor tolerances for saflufenacil. Acute and 

chronic dietary exposure assessments 

were performed for saflufenacil that 

incorporated tolerance-level residues, 

100% crop treated (CT) assumptions, 

and default processing factors. These 

assessments were revised to reflect the 

updated Dietary Exposure Evaluation 

Model software with the Food 

Commodity Intake Database (DEEM– 

FCID), Version 4.02, which incorporates 

2005–2010 consumption data from the 

United States Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) National Health and Nutrition 

Examination Survey, What We Eat in 

America (NHANES/WWEIA). The acute 

and chronic estimated drinking water 

concentrations (EDWCs) of 133 parts per 

billion (ppb) and 120 ppb, respectively, 

are unchanged from the November 25, 

2015, rulemaking and were directly 

incorporated into the dietary 

assessments. A cancer dietary 

assessment was not conducted as 

saflufenacil is classified as ‘‘not likely’’ 

to be a human carcinogen. Saflufenacil 

is not registered for any specific use 

patterns that would result in residential 

exposure. Therefore, a quantitative 

residential exposure assessment was not 

conducted. 

Cumulative exposure. 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 saflufenacil to share 

a common mechanism of toxicity with 

any other substances, and saflufenacil 

does not appear to produce a toxic 

metabolite produced by other 

substances. For the purposes of this 

tolerance action, therefore, EPA has 

assumed that saflufenacil 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 https:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-andassessing-pesticide-risks/cumulativeassessment-risk-pesticides. 

Safety factor for infants and children. 

EPA continues to conclude that there 

are reliable data to support the 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 23 / Friday, February 2, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 7293 

reduction of the Food Quality Protection 

Act (FQPA) safety factor from 10X to 

1X. See Unit III.D. of the November 25, 

2015, rulemaking for a discussion of the 

Agency’s rationale for that 

determination. 

Aggregate risks and Determination of 

safety. EPA determines whether acute 

and chronic dietary pesticide exposures 

are safe by comparing dietary exposure 

estimates to the acute population 

adjusted dose (aPAD) and the chronic 

population adjusted dose (cPAD). 

Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term 

aggregate risks are evaluated by 

comparing the estimated total food, 

water, and residential exposure to the 

appropriate points of departure (PODs) 

to ensure that an adequate margin of 

exposure (MOE) exists. 

Acute dietary (food and drinking 

water) risks are below the Agency’s 

level of concern of 100% of the acute 

population adjusted dose (aPAD); they 

are <1% of the aPAD for all infants less 

than 1 year old, the population group 

receiving the greatest exposure. Chronic 

dietary (food and drinking water) risks 

are below the Agency’s level of concern 

of 100% of the chronic population 

adjusted dose (cPAD); they are 26% of 

the cPAD for all infants less than 1 year 

old, the population group receiving the 

greatest exposure. There is no short- or 

intermediate-term residential exposure 

expected since there are no proposed or 

previously registered residential uses of 

saflufenacil. Therefore, the acute and 

chronic aggregate risks consist only of 

the dietary risks from food and water 

only, and as stated above, are below the 

Agency’s level of concern. Based on the 

lack of evidence of carcinogenicity in 

two adequate rodent carcinogenicity 

studies, saflufenacil is not expected to 

pose a cancer risk to humans. 

Therefore, based on the risk 

assessments and information described 

above, EPA concludes there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result to the general population, or to 

infants and children, from aggregate 

exposure to saflufenacil residues, 

including its metabolites and 

degradates. More detailed information 

about the Agency’s analysis can be 

found at https://www.regulations.gov in 

the document titled ‘‘Saflufenacil. 

Human Health Risk Assessment for 

Proposed New and Amended Uses on 

Field Corn Commodities, Post-Harvest 

and Fallow’’ in docket ID number EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2022–0868. 

IV. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

Adequate enforcement methodology 

(high-performance liquid 

chromatography with tandem mass 

spectroscopy detection (HPLC–MS/MS) 

Method D0603/04) is available to 

enforce the tolerance expression. The 

method may be requested from: Chief, 

Analytical Chemistry Branch, 

Environmental Science Center, 701 

Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755–5350; 

telephone number: (410) 305–2905; 

email address: residuemethods@

epa.gov. 

B. 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 has not established MRLs for 

saflufenacil for feed items of raw 

agricultural commodities. Therefore, 

harmonization of MRLs and U.S. 

tolerances is not an issue at this time. 

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For 

Tolerances 

EPA is revising the tolerance level 

proposed for corn, field, forage from 0.3 

ppm to 0.4 ppm based on field trial 

residues values and the combined 

residue calculation. The tolerance level 

proposed for corn, field, stover is also 

being revised from 5.0 ppm to 5 ppm 

based on the Organization for Economic 

Co-operation and Development (OECD) 

rounding class practice. EPA is also 

revising the tolerance level proposed for 

corn, field, milled byproducts from 

0.125 ppm to 0.2 ppm to adjust for 

degree of exaggeration and the OECD 

rounding class. Also, EPA is revising the 

proposed commodity definition ‘‘Grain, 

cereal, forage, hay, stover, and straw 

group 16–22 (except field corn forage, 

field corn stover, barley straw, wheat 

straw, and chia straw)’’ to the following 

definitions to align better with the 

Agency’s current preferred commodity 

vocabulary: ‘‘Grain, cereal, forage, hay, 

stover, and straw, group 16–22, forage, 

except corn, field, forage’’; ‘‘Grain, 

cereal, forage, hay, stover, and straw, 

group 16–22, hay’’; ‘‘Grain, cereal, 

forage, hay, stover, and straw, group 16– 

22, stover, except corn, field, stover’’; 

and ‘‘Grain, cereal, forage, hay, stover, 

and straw, group 16–22, straw, except 

barley, chia, and wheat, straw.’’ 

V. Conclusion 

Therefore, tolerances are established 

for residues of saflufenacil, including its 

metabolites and degradates, in or on 

Corn, field, forage at 0.4 ppm; Corn, 

field, milled byproducts at 0.2 ppm; 

Corn, field, stover at 5 ppm; Grain, 

cereal, forage, hay, stover, and straw, 

group 16–22, forage, except corn, field, 

forage at 0.1 ppm; Grain, cereal, forage, 

hay, stover, and straw, group 16–22, hay 

at 0.1 ppm; Grain, cereal, forage, hay, 

stover, and straw, group 16–22, stover, 

except corn, field, stover at 0.1 ppm; 

and Grain, cereal, forage, hay, stover, 

and straw, group 16–22, straw, except 

barley, chia, and wheat, straw at 0.1 

ppm. In addition, EPA is removing the 

established tolerance in or on Grain, 

cereal, forage, fodder and straw group 

16 (except barley and wheat straw) at 

0.1 ppm. 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes tolerances 

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 

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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
7294 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 23 / Friday, February 2, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

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). 

VII. 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).
