Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate 

and Sulfate Derivatives; Exemption 

From the Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation amends two 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of a-alkyl 

(minimum C6 linear, branched, 

saturated and/or unsaturated)-whydroxypolyoxyethylene polymer with 

or without polyoxypropylene, mixture 

of di- and monohydrogen phosphate 

esters and the corresponding 

ammonium, calcium, magnesium, 

monoethanolamine, potassium, sodium, 

and zinc salts of the phosphate esters; 

minimum oxyethylene content is 2 

moles; minimum oxypropylene content 

is 0 moles, herein referred to as alkyl 

alcohol alkoxylate phosphate 

derivatives (AAAPD) and a-Alkyl(C6- 

C15)-w-hydroxypoly(oxyethylene)sulfate, 

and its ammonium, calcium, 

magnesium, potassium, sodium, and 

zinc salts, poly(oxyethylene) content 

averages 2–4 moles, herein referred to 

alkyl alcohol alkoxylate sulfate 

derivatives (AAASD) when used as inert 

ingredients (surfactants) applied to 

growing crops and raw agricultural 

commodities after harvest under 40 CFR 

180.910 and applied to animals under 

40 CFR 180.930; not to exceed 30% of 

pesticide formulations. Joint Inerts Task 

Force Cluster Support Team 2 (JITF CST 

2) c/o Huntsman Corp. submitted a 

petition to EPA under the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

requesting an amendment to an existing 

requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

phosphate and sulfate derivatives. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

February 21, 2014. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before April 22, 2014, and must 

be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

30% of pesticide formulations. That 

document referenced a summary of the 

petition prepared by Joint Inerts Task 

Force, Cluster Support Team 2, (JITF 

CST2), c/o Huntsman Corp., the 

petitioner, which is available in the 

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

There were no comments received in 

response to the notice of filing. 

In this petition, the JITF CST 2 claims 

that the requested chemical CAS Reg. 

Nos. listed in Unit II. should be covered 

by the published tolerance exemptions 

for alkyl alcohol alkoxylate phosphate 

and sulfate derivatives and that no 

further data or review is required to 

amend the existing tolerance exemption 

to include the additional CAS Reg. Nos. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition, EPA has 

confirmed that the requested CAS Reg. 

Nos. are appropriately added to the 

currently approved respective 

descriptors (alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

phosphate derivatives or alkyl alcohol 

alkoxylate sulfate derivatives). 

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 exemption is ‘‘safe.’’ 

Section 408(c)(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 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
9858 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 35 / Friday, February 21, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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 alkyl alcohol 

alkoxylate phosphate and sulfate 

derivatives including exposure resulting 

from the exemption amended by this 

action. EPA’s assessment of exposures 

and risks associated with alkyl alcohol 

alkoxylate phosphate and sulfate 

derivatives follows. 

The Agency agrees with the petitioner 

that CAS Reg. Nos.: 9004–80–2; 26982– 

05–8; 31800–89–2; 39341–09–8; 39341–

160901–30–4; 161025–28–1; 161074– 

79–9; and 162063–19–6 are alkyl 

alcohol alkoxylate sulfate derivatives 

similar to those present in the existing 

exemption. 

In 2009, in establishing the exemption 

for alkyl alcohol alkoxylate sulfate 

derivatives and in 2010, in establishing 

the exemption for alkyl alcohol 

alkoxylate phosphate derivatives, EPA 

assessed their safety generally using 

worst case exposure assumptions (see 

Unit IV. of 74 FR 37571 and Unit IV. of 

75 FR 51382). Based upon the review of 

the data supporting both of these 

petitions, EPA has confirmed that the 

requested CAS Reg. Nos. are 

appropriately added to the currently 

approved descriptors. The requested 

CAS Reg. Nos. consist of compounds 

that are either: a-alkyl (minimum C6

linear or branched, saturated and or 

unsaturated)-w-hydroxypolyoxyethylene 

polymers with or without 

polyoxypropylene, mixture of di- and 

monohydrogen phosphate esters or the 

corresponding ammonium, calcium, 

magnesium, monoethanolamine, 

potassium, sodium and zinc salts 

thereof with a minimum oxyethylene 

content averages 2 moles and minimum 

oxypropylene content is 0 moles; or aAlkyl(C6–C15)-whydroxypoly(oxyethylene)sulfate, or the 

ammonium, calcium, magnesium, 

potassium, sodium, and zinc salt 

thereof, with a poly(oxyethylene) 

content averaging 2–4 moles. As such, 

the requested CAS Reg. Nos. fall within 

the existing tolerance exemption 

descriptors for alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

phosphate and sulfate derivatives given 

in 40 CFR 180.910 and 40 CFR 180.930. 

The Agency has determined that the 

proposed addition of the requested CAS 

Reg. Nos. is adequately supported by the 

existing data and assessment and that 

no additional data or review is required. 

Inclusion of the additional chemicals 

described in Unit IV. in the risk 

assessments for the alkyl alcohol 

alkoxylate phosphate and sulfate 

derivatives would in no way alter the 

prior risk assessments given the generic 

findings on toxicity and the worst case 

exposure assumptions used in those risk 

assessments. Accordingly, based on the 

findings in that earlier rule, EPA has 

determined that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm to any population 

subgroup, including infants and 

children, will result from aggregate 

exposure to alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

phosphate and sulfate derivatives by 

including the additional chemicals 

described in Unit IV., under reasonably 

foreseeable circumstances. Therefore, 

the amendment to an existing 

requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 

180.910 and 40 CFR 180.930 for 

residues of alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

phosphate and sulfate derivatives to 

include the chemicals described in Unit 

IV. is safe under FFDCA section 408. 

V. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

An analytical method is not required 

for enforcement purposes since the 

Agency is not establishing a numerical 

level of residues of the alkyl alcohol 

alkoxylate phosphate and sulfate 

derivatives that cannot be exceeded in 

or on any food commodities. EPA is 

establishing a limitation on the amount 

of the alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

phosphate and sulfate derivatives that 

may be used in pesticide formulations. 

That 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 

pesticide for sale or distribution that 

contains greater than 30% of the alkyl 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 35 / Friday, February 21, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 9859 

alcohol alkoxylate phosphate and 

sulfate derivatives by weight in the 

pesticide formulation. 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, the exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 

180. 910 and 40 CFR 180.930 for alkyl 

alcohol alkoxylate phosphate and 

sulfate derivatives are amended to 

include the requested CAS Reg. Nos. 

when used as inert ingredients 

(surfactants) in pesticide formulations 

applied to growing crops, raw 

agricultural commodities after harvest 

and to animals, not to exceed 30% of 

pesticide formulations. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final rule establishes an 

exemption from the requirement for a 

tolerance in response to a petition 

submitted to the Agency under FFDCA 

section 408(d). 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 final rule has been 

exempted from review under Executive 

Order 12866, this final rule 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 final rule 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 final rule 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 final rule. In addition, this final 

rule does not impose any enforceable 

duty or contain any unfunded mandate 

as described under Title II of the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

(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 of 1995 

(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).
