Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 8, 2000 / Notices 67005

concludes that the chronic dietary risk

of zeta-cypermethrin, as estimated by

the aggregate risk assessment, does not

appear to be of concern.

The 95th percentile of exposure for

the overall U. S. population was

estimated to be 0.000330 mg/kg/day

(MOE of 1514); 99th percentile 0.001136

mg/kg/day (MOE of 440); and 99.9th

percentile 0.002544 mg/kg/day (MOE of

196). The 95th percentile of exposure

for all infants < 1 year old was estimated

to be 0.000096 mg/kg/day (MOE of

5211); 99th percentile 0.000365 mg/kg/

day (MOE of 1368); and 99.9th

percentile 0.001438 mg/kg/day (MOE of

347). The 95th percentile of exposure

for nursing infants < 1 year old was

estimated to be 0.000040 mg/kg/day

(MOE of 12532); 99th percentile

0.000194 mg/kg/day (MOE of 2575); and

99.9th percentile 0.000899 mg/kg/day

(MOE of 556). The 95th percentile of

exposure for non-nursing infants < 1

year old was estimated to be 0.000114

mg/kg/day (MOE of 4391); 99th

percentile 0.000437 mg/kg/day (MOE of

1144); and 99.9th percentile 0.001732

mg/kg/day (MOE of 288). The 95th

percentile of exposure for children 1 to

6 years old (the most highly exposed

population subgroup) and children 7 to

12 years old was estimated to be,

respectively, 0.000442 mg/kg/day (MOE

of 1131) and 0.000413 mg/kg/day (MOE

of 1209); 99th percentile 0.001355 mg/

kg/day (MOE of 368) and 0.001349

(MOE of 370); and 99.9th percentile

0.003454 mg/kg/day (MOE of 144) and

0.002928 (MOE of 170). The 95th

percentile of exposure for females (13+/

nursing) was estimated to be 0.000306

mg/kg/day (MOE of 1635); 99th

percentile 0.001174 mg/kg/day (MOE of

425); and 99.9th percentile 0.002583

mg/kg/day (MOE of 193). Therefore,

FMC concludes that there is reasonable

certainty that no harm will result from

acute exposure to zeta-cypermethrin.

2. Infants and children— i. General.

In assessing the potential for additional

sensitivity of infants and children to

residues of zeta-cypermethrin, FMC

considered data from developmental

toxicity studies in the rat and rabbit,

and a 2–generation reproductive study

in the rat. The data demonstrated no

indication of increased sensitivity of

rats to zeta-cypermethrin or rabbits to

cypermethrin in utero and/or postnatal

exposure to zeta-cypermethrin or

cypermethrin. The developmental

toxicity studies are designed to evaluate

adverse effects on the developing

organism resulting from pesticide

exposure during prenatal development

to one or both parents. Reproduction

studies provide information relating to

effects from exposure to the pesticide on

the reproductive capability of mating

animals and data on systemic toxicity.

FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA

may apply an additional margin of

safety for infants and children in the

case of threshold effects to account for

pre- and post-natal toxicity and the

completeness of the database.

ii. Developmental toxicity studies. In

the prenatal developmental toxicity

studies in rats and rabbits, there was no

evidence of developmental toxicity at

the highest doses tested (35.0 mg/kg/day

in rats and 700 mg/kg/day in rabbits).

Decreased body weight gain was

observed at the maternal LOAEL in each

study; the maternal NOAEL was

established at 12.5 mg/kg/day in rats

and 100 mg/kg/day in rabbits.

iii. Reproductive toxicity study. In the

2–generation reproduction study in rats,

offspring toxicity (body weight) and

parental toxicity (body weight, organ

weight, and clinical signs) was observed

at 27.0 mg/kg/day and greater. The

parental systemic NOAEL was 7.0 mg/

kg/day and the parental systemic

LOAEL was 27.0 mg/kg/day. There were

no developmental (pup) or reproductive

effects up to 45.0 mg/kg/day, HDT.

iv. Pre- and post-natal sensitivity— a.

Pre-natal. There was no evidence of

developmental toxicity in the studies at

the highest doses tested in the rat (35.0

mg/kg/day) or in the rabbit (700 mg/kg/

day). Therefore, there is no evidence of

a special dietary risk (either acute or

chronic) for infants and children which

would require an additional safety

factor.

b. Post-natal. Based on the absence of

pup toxicity up to dose levels which

produced toxicity in the parental

animals, there is no evidence of special

post-natal sensitivity to infants and

children in the rat reproduction study.

v. Conclusion. Based on the above,

FMC concludes that reliable data

support use of the standard 100-fold

uncertainty factor, and that an

additional uncertainty factor is not

needed to protect the safety of infants

and children. As stated above, aggregate

exposure assessments utilized

significantly less than 1 percent of the

RfD for either the entire U. S.

population or any of the 26 population

subgroups including infants and

children. Therefore, it may be

concluded that there is reasonable

certainty that no harm will result to

infants and children from aggregate

exposure to cypermethrin residues.

F. International Tolerances

There are no Codex, Canadian, or

Mexican residue limits for residues of

zeta-cypermethrin in or on sunflowers.
