mg/kg bwt/day in males and 2.68 mg/kg

bwt/day in females) based upon liver

effects (increased serum activities of

ALT and APh, cellular hypertrophy and

periportal fatty change) at 800 ppm

(24.69 mg/kg bwt/day in males and

28.10 mg/kg bwt/day in females). A

follow-up study was conducted in

Beagle dogs that received 0, 10, 20, 40,

or 80 ppm iprovalicarb in their diet for

28 days. The NOAEL for microsomal

liver enzyme induction was determined

to be 20 ppm (0.77 mg/kg bwt/day).

Microsomal liver enzyme induction was

observed at the higher doses, and

reversal of induction was observed

within a 4–week recovery period in the

80 ppm dose group (2.93 mg/kg bwt/

day).

6. Animal metabolism. Iprovalicarb is

readily absorbed, and greater than

97.8% of the total radioactivity was

eliminated in urine and feces within 48

hours of dosing. Iprovalicarb is

extensively metabolized in the rat. The

primary metabolites (>58% of the

administered dose) were diastereomers

of iprovalicarb-carboxylic acid. Eight

minor metabolites, each representing

less than 2% of the administered dose,

were quantified.

7. Metabolite toxicology. The toxicity

of p-methyl-phenethylamine, a rat, plant

and soil metabolite, was investigated in

2 studies:

i. The acute oral LD 50 in Wistar rats

was determined to be in the range of 300

to 500 mg/kg bw.

ii. No mutagenic activity was

observed in the Salmonella/microsome

test. p-Methyl-phenethylamine was

found at concentrations of <0.2% and

has been determined to not be

toxicologically significant.

8. Endocrine disruption. No endocrine

disruption potential was observed in the

2–generation reproduction study,

developmental toxicity studies,

subchronic feeding studies, and chronic

feeding studies.

C. Aggregate Exposure

1. Dietary exposure. There are no

registered uses of iprovalicarb in the

U.S., and no registrations or other

tolerances are pending. Dietary

exposure to iprovalicarb in the U.S. is

limited to residues in/on imported

grapes, grape juice, wine, and raisins.

i. Food. The anticipated residue in/on

fresh grapes based upon the field

studies is 0.50 ppm, and 35.71% of the

fresh grapes consumed in the U.S. are

imported. The anticipated residue in

grape juice based upon the field and

processing studies is 0.050 ppm, and

37.05% of the grape juice consumed in

the U.S. is imported. The anticipated

residue in wine based upon the field

and processing studies is 0.32 ppm, and

17.38% of the wine consumed in the

U.S. is imported. The anticipated

residue in raisins based upon the field

and processing studies is 0.91 ppm, and

8.165% of the raisins consumed in the

U.S. are imported. Assuming 100% of

the imported commodities are treated

and have the average residue resulting

from the maximum international use of

iprovalicarb, the total anticipated

residue is 0.000021 mg/kg bwt/day in

the U.S. diet and 0.000056 mg/kg bwt/

day for the most exposed subpopulation, children 1 to 6 years old.

ii. Drinking water. Iprovalicarb is not

registered for use in the United States.

Therefore, there is no exposure to

iprovalicarb through drinking water in

the United States.

2. Non-dietary exposure. Iprovalicarb

is not used in the United States.

Therefore, there is no non-dietary

exposure to iprovalicarb in the United

States.

D. Cumulative Effects

Iprovalicarb is a member of a new

class of chemistry and does not have a

mode of action that is common with

other registered pesticides. Therefore,

there are no cumulative effects.

E. Safety Determination

1. U.S. population. The reference dose

(RfD) is 0.03 mg/kg bwt/day. Based

upon anticipated residues in imported

commodities and assuming 100% of the

imported commodities contain residue

resulting from the proposed European

use of iprovalicarb, the estimated

chronic dietary margin of exposure of

the U.S. population is 0.07% of the RfD.

Therefore, there is a reasonable certainty

of no harm to the U.S. population

resulting from exposure to iprovalicarb

residues in/on imported commodities.

2. Infants and children. The

population subgroup with the maximum

estimated dietary exposure is children

age 1 to 6 years old. For this subgroup,

and using the same assumptions as

listed for the U.S. population, the

estimated chronic dietary margin of

exposure is 0.18% of the RfD. Therefore,

there is a reasonable certainty of no

harm to infants and children in the U.S.

resulting from exposure to iprovalicarb

residues in/on imported commodities.

F. International Tolerances

The following maximum residue

levels are pending in the European

Union: 2.0 mg/kg in/on grapes; 0.5 mg/

kg in animal fat; 0.05 mg/kg in potatoes,

animal meat, animal edible offal and

eggs; and 0.01 mg/kg in milk.
