II. Summary of Petitioned-For 

Tolerance 

In the Federal Register of May 23, 

2014 (79 FR 29729) (FRL–9910–29), 

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 3F8214) by FMC 

Corporation, 1735 Market St., 

Philadelphia, PA 19103. The petition 

requested EPA to amend the tolerances 

in 40 CFR 180.418 for residues of the 

insecticide zeta-cypermethrin, S-cyano 

(3-phenoxyphenyl) methyl (±))(cis-trans 

3-(2–2-dichloroethenyl)-2,2 

dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, in or 

on alfalfa, forage from 5.0 parts per 

million (ppm) to 15.0 ppm and alfalfa, 

hay from 15.0 ppm to 30.0 ppm. That 

document referenced a summary of the 

petition prepared by FMC Corporation, 

the registrant, which is available in the 

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

Comments were received on the notice 

of filing. EPA’s response to these 

comments is discussed in Unit IV.C. 

Instead of the proposed tolerances in 

alfalfa hay at 30.0 ppm and alfalfa forage 

at 15.0 ppm, EPA is establishing these 

tolerances at 30 ppm and 15 ppm, 

respectively. The Agency establishes 

tolerances using whole numbers for 

tolerances of 10 ppm or more, per the 

Organization for Economic Cooperation 

and Development (OECD) User Guide 

ENV/JM/MONO(2011)2 for the OECD 

tolerance calculation procedure. 

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 zetacypermethrin including exposure 

resulting from the tolerances established 

by this action. EPA’s assessment of 

exposures and risks associated with 

zeta-cypermethrin follows. 

Zeta-cypermethrin is an enriched 

isomer of the pyrethroid insecticide 

cypermethrin. In addition, alphacypermethrin is also an enriched isomer 

of cypermethrin. Although 

cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, and 

zeta-cypermethrin are separate active 

ingredients with different end-use 

products, they are included together in 

the hazard evaluation for the purpose of 

human health risk assessment. The 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 24, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 77393 

toxicology database for the 

cypermethrins includes studies with 

cypermethrin and both of its enriched 

isomers, and is considered complete for 

the purpose of risk assessment. 

The aggregate risk assessment for zetacypermethrin must consider potential 

exposure from all cypermethrins (i.e., 

cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, and 

zeta-cypermethrin), since the three 

active ingredients are considered to be 

essentially the same from the 

mammalian toxicity perspective. The 

revised tolerances associated with the 

increased use rate on alfalfa forage and 

hay have no impact on the existing 

dietary exposure assessment for the 

cypermethrins. Alfalfa forage and hay 

are livestock feed items that are not 

directly entered into the dietary 

exposure assessment. In addition, the 

increased tolerances in the alfalfa forage 

and hay will not have an impact on the 

existing livestock commodity 

tolerances; these tolerances were 

established at levels determined largely 

due to the potential for residues in other 

commodities (such as clover and trefoil) 

with higher tolerances and which also 

constitute a greater percentage of the 

estimated livestock diet for zetacypermethrin. Therefore, the proposed 

increased use rates on alfalfa grown for 

hay and forage will not result in the 

need to increase the tolerances in 

livestock commodities. Consequently, 

the previously conducted dietary 

exposure assessment will not be affected 

by the proposed increased use rate and 

corresponding tolerances for alfalfa hay 

and forage. Furthermore, the drinking 

water estimates used in the existing 

dietary exposure assessment are more 

protective (higher) than those recently 

estimated based on the proposed use 

pattern and using updated drinking 

water models. 

In the final rule published in the 

Federal Register of December 7, 2012 

(77 FR 72975) (FRL–9371–7), EPA 

established tolerances for residues of 

zeta-cypermethrin in multiple 

commodities. Since the publication of 

that final rule, the toxicity profile of 

zeta-cypermethrin has not changed and 

since the revised tolerances associated 

with the increased use rate on alfalfa 

forage and hay have no impact on the 

existing dietary and aggregate risk 

determinations, the risk assessments 

that supported the establishment of the 

zeta-cypermethrin tolerances published 

in the December 7, 2012 Federal 

Register final rule remain valid. 

Therefore, EPA is relying on those risk 

assessments in order to support the 

revised tolerances for zeta-cypermethrin 

in alfalfa forage and hay. 

An updated aggregate risk assessment 

was not needed to support the proposed 

increased tolerances for residues in 

alfalfa forage and hay, since these are 

livestock feed items, and the increased 

tolerances will not result in a change in 

the previously estimated dietary (food 

and water) or residential exposure 

estimates for zeta-cypermethrin. For a 

detailed discussion of the aggregate risk 

assessments and determination of 

safety, please refer to the December 7, 

2012 Federal Register final rule and its 

supporting documents, available at 

http://www.regulations.gov in docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2010–0472. EPA 

is also relying on those supporting risk 

assessments and findings to support of 

this final rule. 

Based on the risk assessments and 

information described in this unit, EPA 

concludes that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result to the 

general population, or to infants and 

children from aggregate exposure to 

zeta-cypermethrin residues. Further 

information can also be found in the 

document: ‘‘Zeta-Cypermethrin— 

Human Health Risk Assessment to 

Support Increased Tolerances and Use 

Rate on Alfalfa Hay and Forage’’ in 

docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2014– 

0210. 

IV. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

Adequate tolerance enforcement 

methods are available in Pesticide 

Analytical Manual (PAM) Volume II for 

determining residues of alphacypermethrin, cypermethrin, and zetacypermethrin in plant (Method I) and 

livestock (Method II) commodities. Both 

methods are gas chromatographic 

methods with electron-capture detection 

(GC/ECD), and have undergone 

successful Agency petition method 

validations (PMVs). These methods are 

not stereospecific; thus no distinction is 

made between residues of cypermethrin 

(all 8 stereoisomers), alphacypermethrin (enriched in 2 isomers), 

and zeta-cypermethrin (enriched in 4 

isomers). The January 1994 Food and 

Drug Administration (FDA) PESTDATA 

database (PAM Volume I) indicates that 

residues of cypermethrin are completely 

recovered (≤80%) using multi-residue 

method sections 302 (Luke), 303 (Mills, 

Onley, and Gaither), and 304 (Mills fatty 

food). 

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 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. 

Currently established U.S. tolerances 

for cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, 

and zeta-cypermethrin are included in 

the same part in title 40 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), but have 

separate sections and different crops 

listed. There are multiple Codex MRLs 

for zeta-cypermethrin, but all are in 

conjunction with MRLs for total 

cypermethrin isomers (no MRLs have 

been established solely for zetacypermethrin). However, although the 

definitions differ formally, they are 

effectively harmonized since the 

tolerance-enforcement methods are not 

stereospecific, and thus do not 

distinguish between residues of 

cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, and 

zeta-cypermethrin. For enforcement 

purposes, the same moiety is being 

regulated. 

There is a Codex MRL established in 

alfalfa fodder at 30 ppm, which would 

be harmonized with the proposed 

tolerance in alfalfa hay. Codex has not 

established an MRL in alfalfa forage. 

C. Response to Comments 

One comment was received from the 

general public urging the Agency to 

tighten regulations for pesticides 

tolerances and uses. The commenter 

particularly addressed carcinogenic 

chemicals and their effects on children’s 

health. 

Cypermethrin is classified as a 

‘‘Possible human carcinogen’’ based on 

the presence of benign tumors (lung 

adenomas) in an adequate mouse 

carcinogenicity study with 

cypermethrin. The presence of common 

benign tumors (lung adenomas), in one 

species (mice) and one sex (female), 

with no increase in the proportion of 

malignant tumors or decrease in the 

time-to-tumor occurrence, together with 

the lack of mutagenic activity, was not 

considered strong enough to warrant a 

linear or no-threshold approach to 

quantitation of human cancer risk. 

Quantification of risk using a non-linear 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

77394 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 24, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

approach (i.e., acute population 

adjusted dose (aPAD), acute reference 

dose (aRfD)) will adequately account for 

all chronic toxicity, including 

carcinogenicity that could result from 

exposure to cypermethrin. The Agency 

is using the acute dietary endpoint 

because, due to the rapid reversibility of 

the most sensitive neurotoxicity 

endpoint used for quantifying risks, 

there is no increase in hazard with 

increasing dosing duration; therefore, 

the acute dietary endpoint is protective 

of the endpoints from repeat dosing 

studies, including cancer dietary 

exposures. 

No evidence of carcinogenicity was 

observed in carcinogenicity studies in 

rats with cypermethrin or in mice with 

alpha-cypermethrin. Carcinogenicity 

studies are not available for zetacypermethrin; however, based on the 

structural and toxicological similarities 

to alpha cypermethrin and 

cypermethrin the carcinogenic potential 

is expected to be similar. Therefore, the 

Agency considers conclusions regarding 

the carcinogenic potential of 

cypermethrin to be applicable to alphacypermethrin and zeta-cypermethrin. 

The Agency has considered all the 

available data, including all available 

data concerning the potential for 

carcinogenicity and concluded after 

conducting a risk assessment, that there 

is a reasonable certainty that no harm 

will result from aggregate human 

exposure to zeta-cypermethrin. EPA 

gives special consideration to the 

potential susceptibility and exposures of 

infants and children to pesticide 

chemical residues and is confident that 

it has chosen endpoints, points of 

departure, and uncertainty factors that 

are protective for all populations, 

including infants and children, and that 

have a strong scientific foundation. In 

addition, there are ongoing efforts to 

develop data to gain more information 

concerning the potential sensitivity of 

infants and young children to 

pyrethroids as a class. 

V. Conclusion 

Therefore, tolerances are amended for 

residues of zeta-cypermethrin, Scyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl (±))(cistrans3-(2–2-dichloroethenyl)- 

2,2dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, 

including its metabolites and degradates 

in or on alfalfa, forage at 15 ppm and 

alfalfa, hay at 30 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 

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).
