[EPA–HQ–OPP–2014–0793; FRL–9930–20] 

Acetic Acid; Exemption From the 

Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation amends the 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of acetic acid 

(CAS Reg. No. 64–19–7) when used as 

an inert ingredient in antimicrobial 

pesticide formulations used on dairy 

and food-processing equipment and 

utensils, to allow for a limitation of 

1200 ppm. Technology Sciences Group, 

Inc. on behalf of West Agro, Inc. 

submitted a petition to EPA under the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), requesting an amendment to 

the existing exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of acetic acid. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

August 14, 2015. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before October 13, 2015, and must 

be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the

II. Petition for Exemption 

In the Federal Register of March 4, 

2015 (80 FR 11611) (FRL–9922–68), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

announcing the filing of a pesticide 

petition inert ingredient (IN–10766) by 

Technology Sciences Group, Inc. (1150 

18th Street, Suite 1000 Washington, DC 

20036), on behalf of West Agro, Inc. 

(11100 Congress Ave., Kansas City, MO 

64153). The petition requested that 40 

CFR 180.940(b) and (c) be amended by 

modifying an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of acetic acid (CAS Reg No. 64–19–7) 

when used as an inert ingredient to 

promote the active ingredient in 

antimicrobial pesticide formulations 

applied to dairy-processing equipment, 

food-processing equipment, and utensils 

to increase the use limitation from 686 

parts per million (ppm) to 1,200 ppm. 

That document referenced a summary of 

the petition prepared by Technology 

Sciences Group, Inc. on behalf of West 

Agro, Inc., the petitioner, which is 

available in the docket, http://

www.regulations.gov. No comments 

were received on the notice of filing. 

III. Inert Ingredient Definition 

Inert ingredients are all ingredients 

that are not active ingredients as defined 

in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are 

not limited to, the following types of 

ingredients (except when they have a 

pesticidal efficacy of their own): 

Solvents such as alcohols and 

hydrocarbons; surfactants such as 

polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty 

acids; carriers such as clay and 

diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as 

carrageenan and modified cellulose; 

wetting, spreading, and dispersing 

agents; propellants in aerosol 

dispensers; microencapsulating agents; 

and emulsifiers. The term ‘‘inert’’ is not 

intended to imply nontoxicity; the 

ingredient may or may not be 

chemically active. Generally, EPA has 

exempted inert ingredients from the 

requirement of a tolerance based on the 

low toxicity of the individual inert 

ingredients. 

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and 

Determination of Safety 

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

allows EPA to establish an exemption 

from the requirement for 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. . . .’’ 

EPA establishes exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance only in those 

cases where it can be clearly 

demonstrated that the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide 

chemical residues under reasonably 

foreseeable circumstances will pose no 

appreciable risks to human health. In 

order to determine the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide inert 

ingredients, the Agency considers the 

toxicity of the inert in conjunction with 

possible exposure to residues of the 

inert ingredient through food, drinking 

water, and through other exposures that 

occur as a result of pesticide use in 

residential settings. If EPA is able to 

determine that a finite tolerance is not 

necessary to ensure that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result from aggregate exposure to the 

inert ingredient, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance may be 

established. 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(c)(2)(A), and the factors specified in 

FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), 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 acetic acid 

including exposure resulting from the 

exemption established by this action. 

EPA’s assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with acetic acid follows. 

A. Toxicological Profile 

EPA has evaluated the available 

toxicity data and considered their 

validity, completeness, and reliability as 

well as the relationship of the results of 

the studies to human risk. EPA has also 

considered available information 

concerning the variability of the 

sensitivities of major identifiable 

subgroups of consumers, including 

infants and children. Specific 

information on the studies received and 

the nature of the adverse effects caused 

by acetic acid as well as the noobserved-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) 

and the lowest-observed-adverse-effectlevel (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies 

are discussed in this unit. 

Acetic acid is of low acute dermal and 

inhalation toxicity in rats. It causes 

dermal irritation in mice and is 

corrosive in rabbits. It was also irritating 

in the eyes of rabbits. Although, reduced 

body weight was observed at 390 

milligrams/kilograms/day (mg/kg/day) 

in a 90-day oral toxicity study in the rat, 

the reduction in weight gain was likely 

attributed to reduced appetite and food 

consumption observed in the study. 

Therefore, this is not considered an 

adverse effect. Fetal susceptibility was 

not observed in developmental studies 

in rats, mice and rabbits. It is not 

genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic or 

neurotoxic. Although, increased spleen 

weight and increased levels of iron 

stored in the spleen were observed in a 

toxicity study via inhalation in rats, 

these effects are not considered an 

immunotoxic response, but are due to 

the destruction of red blood cells; 

therefore, there is no concern for 

potential immunotoxicity. 

Acetic acid undergoes dissociation to 

the acetate anion and the H+ cations in 

aqueous media at pHs commonly found 

in the environment. Also, it is a 

naturally-occurring substance in plants 

and animals. In aerobic metabolism, 

acetic acid (as acetate) is a metabolite 

that combines with Co-enzyme A to 

form acetyl Co-A which subsequently 

enters into the Citric Acid Cycle, a 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 157 / Friday, August 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 48751 

common metabolic pathway in which 

food molecules are broken down to form 

energy. A major function of the Citric 

Acid Cycle is the oxidation of acetate. 

In animals, acetate is obtained from the 

breakdown of glucose molecules. 

Specific information on the studies 

received and the nature of the adverse 

effects caused by acetic acid as well as 

the no observed adverse effect level 

(NOAEL) and the lowest observed 

adverse effect level (LOAEL) from the 

toxicity studies can be found at http:// 

www.regulations.gov in the document 

‘‘Acetic Acid; Human Health Risk 

Assessment and Ecological Effects 

Assessment to Support Proposed 

Exemption from the Requirement of a 

Tolerance When Used as Inert 

Ingredients in Pesticide Formulations’’ 

in docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP– 

2014–0793. 

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/

Levels of Concern 

Once a pesticide’s toxicological 

profile is determined, EPA identifies 

toxicological points of departure (POD) 

and levels of concern to use in 

evaluating the risk posed by human 

exposure to the pesticide. For hazards 

that have a threshold below which there 

is no appreciable risk, the toxicological 

POD is used as the basis for derivation 

of reference values for risk assessment. 

PODs are developed based on a careful 

analysis of the doses in each 

toxicological study to determine the 

dose at which no adverse effects are 

observed (the NOAEL) and the lowest 

dose at which adverse effects of concern 

are identified (the LOAEL). Uncertainty/ 

safety factors are used in conjunction 

with the POD to calculate a safe 

exposure level—generally referred to as 

a population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a 

reference dose (RfD)—and a safe margin 

of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold 

risks, the Agency assumes that any 

amount of exposure will lead to some 

degree of risk. Thus, the Agency 

estimates risk in terms of the probability 

of an occurrence of the adverse effect 

expected in a lifetime. For more 

information on the general principles 

EPA uses in risk characterization and a 

complete description of the risk 

assessment process, see http://

www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/

riskassess.htm. 

Based on the widespread presence of 

acetic acid in human foods, and the fact 

that acetic acid is a normal metabolite 

in humans and animals and its status as 

a substance that is considered Generally 

Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the Food 

and Drug Administration, toxicological 

endpoints of concern relevant to human 

exposures have not been identified for 

acetic acid. Thus, due to its low 

potential hazard and lack of hazard 

endpoint, the Agency has determined 

that a quantitative risk assessment using 

safety factors applied to a point of 

departure protective of an identified 

hazard endpoint is not appropriate. 

Instead, the Agency’s assessment of the 

risk from acetic acid is qualitative. 

C. Exposure Assessment 

1. Dietary exposure from food and 

feed uses and drinking water. In 

evaluating dietary exposure to acetic 

acid, EPA considered exposure under 

the proposed exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. EPA 

assessed dietary exposures from acetic 

acid in food as follows: 

Acetic acid is currently used as a 

biochemical pesticide post-harvest on 

grains, hays for animal feed, and as a 

herbicide. Under this exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance, residues 

of this chemical also may be found on 

foods that come in contact with treated 

dairy and food-processing equipment 

and utensils. However, a quantitative 

dietary exposure assessment was not 

conducted since an endpoint for risk 

assessment was not identified. 

2. From non-dietary exposure. The 

term ‘‘residential exposure’’ is used in 

this document to refer to nonoccupational, non-dietary exposure 

(e.g., textiles (clothing and diapers), 

carpets, swimming pools, and hard 

surface disinfection on walls, floors, 

tables). 

Acetic acid may be used in pesticide 

products and nonpesticide products that 

may be used around the home. Since an 

endpoint for risk assessment was not 

identified, a quantitative residential 

exposure assessment for acetic acid was 

not conducted. 

3. Cumulative effects from substances 

with a common mechanism of toxicity. 

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 acetic acid to share 

a common mechanism of toxicity with 

any other substances, and acetic acid 

does not appear to produce a toxic 

metabolite produced by other 

substances. For the purposes of this 

tolerance action, therefore, EPA has 

assumed that acetic acid 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 Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/

cumulative. 

D. Safety Factor for Infants and 

Children 

1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of 

FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply 

an additional tenfold (10X) margin of 

safety for infants and children in the 

case of threshold effects to account for 

prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the 

completeness of the database on toxicity 

and exposure unless EPA determines 

based on reliable data that a different 

margin of safety will be safe for infants 

and children. This additional margin of 

safety is commonly referred to as the 

Food Quality Protection Act Safety 

Factor (FQPA SF). In applying this 

provision, EPA either retains the default 

value of 10X, or uses a different 

additional safety factor when reliable 

data available to EPA support the choice 

of a different factor. 

As part of its qualitative assessment, 

the Agency did not use safety factors for 

assessing risk, and no additional safety 

factor is needed for assessing risk to 

infants and children. Based on an 

assessment of acetic acid and its 

chemical properties, EPA has concluded 

that there are no toxicological endpoints 

of concern for the U.S. population, 

including infants and children. 

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of 

Safety 

Because no toxicological endpoints of 

concern were identified, EPA concludes 

that aggregate exposure to residues of 

acetic acid will not pose a risk to the 

U.S. population, including infants and 

children, and that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result to the 

general population, or to infants and 

children from aggregate exposure to 

acetic acid residues. 

V. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

An analytical method is not required 

for enforcement purposes since the 

Agency is establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance. 

EPA is establishing a limitation on the 

amount of acetic acid that may be used 

in pesticide formulations. 

The limitation will be enforced 

through the pesticide registration 

process under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. EPA will 

not register any antimicrobial pesticide 

formulation used on dairy processing 

equipment or food-processing 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
48752 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 157 / Friday, August 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

equipment and utensils for sale or 

distribution containing acetic acid at 

ready for use end-use concentrations 

exceeding 1,200 parts per million. 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, the exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for acetic 

acid when used as an inert ingredient in 

antimicrobial pesticide formulations 

used on dairy-processing equipment, 

food-processing equipment, and utensils 

under 40 CFR 180.940(b) and (c) are 

amended by an increase in the use 

limitation from 686 ppm to 1,200 ppm. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action amends exemptions from 

the requirement of a tolerance 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 exemption 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). 

VIII. 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).
