Alcohols, C10–16, Ethoxylated, 

Sulfates, 

Mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium Salts 

(CAS No. 157627–92–4); Tolerance 

Exemption 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of alcohols, C10– 

16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

(CAS No. 157627–92–4); when used as 

an inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations used pre- and post-harvest 

as well as in formulations applied to 

livestock. Spring Regulatory Sciences, 

on behalf of BASF Corporation, 

submitted a petition to EPA under the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), requesting an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for 

specific uses. This regulation eliminates 

the need to establish a maximum 

permissible level for residues of 

alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

(CAS No. 157627–92–4) on food or feed 

commodities or when applied to 

livestock. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

February 2, 2022. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before April 4, 2022, and must be 

filed in accordance with the instructions 

provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also 

Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION).

II. Petition for Exemption 

In the Federal Register of October 21, 

2021 (86 FR 58239) (FRL–8792–04), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

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

announcing the receipt of a pesticide 

petition (PP IN–11530) filed by Spring 

Regulatory Sciences (6620 Cypresswood 

Dr. Suite 250, Spring, TX 77379), on 

behalf of BASF Corporation (100 Park 

Avenue, Florham Park, New Jersey 

07932). The petition requested that 40 

CFR 180.910 and 180.930 be amended 

by establishing an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, 

sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

(CAS No. 157627–92–4) for use as an 

inert ingredient at no more than 30% by 

weight of the final pesticide 

formulation. That document included a 

summary of the petition prepared by the 

petitioner and solicited comments on 

the petitioner’s request. The Agency did 

not receive any public comments. 

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 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
5704 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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. 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 shown 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(b)(2)(D), 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 and considered its 

validity, completeness and reliability 

and the relationship of this information 

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. EPA has 

sufficient data to assess the hazards of 

and to make a determination on 

aggregate exposure to alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

including exposure resulting from the 

exemption established by this action. 

EPA’s assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

follows. 

In an effort to streamline its 

publications in the Federal Register, 

EPA is not reprinting sections that 

repeat what has been previously 

published for tolerance rulemakings of 

the same pesticide chemical. Where 

scientific information concerning a 

particular chemical remains unchanged, 

the content of those sections would not 

vary between tolerance rulemakings, 

and republishing the same sections is 

unnecessary. EPA considers referral 

back to those sections as sufficient to 

provide an explanation of the 

information EPA considered in making 

its safety determination for the new 

rulemaking. 

EPA has previously published 

tolerance rulemakings for alkyl alcohol 

alkoxylate phosphate derivatives 

(AAAPDs) and alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

sulfate derivatives (AAASDs), in which 

EPA concluded, based on the available 

information, that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm would result 

from aggregate exposure to AAAPDs and 

AAASDs, and established tolerances for 

residues of those chemicals. EPA is 

incorporating previously published 

sections from that rulemaking as 

described further in this rulemaking, as 

they remain unchanged. The past rule 

EPA cites here covers AAAPDs and 

AAASDs, which are collectively 

referred to as alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 

phosphate and sulfate derivatives 

(AAAPSDs). Alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

(CAS No. 157627–92–4) is an AAASD 

that is synthesized as a mixture. Based 

on the structural and physicochemical 

similarities between Alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

(CAS No. 157627–92–4) and other 

AAAPSDs previously assessed by EPA, 

the data used in the 2009 risk 

assessment for AAAPSDs is considered 

appropriate to assess alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts. 

A. Toxicological Profile 

The Toxicological Profile of alcohols, 

C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

remain unchanged from the 

Toxicological Profile in Unit IV.A. of the 

July 29, 2009 rulemaking (74 FR 37571) 

(FRL–8424–6). Refer to that section for 

a discussion of the Toxicological Profile 

of AAAPSDs. 

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/ 

Levels of Concern 

The Toxicological Points of 

Departure/Levels of Concern of 

alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

remain unchanged from the 

Toxicological Profile in Unit IV.B. of the 

July 29, 2009 rulemaking (74 FR 37571) 

(FRL–8424–6). Refer to that section for 

a discussion of the Toxicological Points 

of Departure/Levels of Concern of 

AAAPSDs. 

C. Exposure Assessment 

The exposure assessment for alcohols, 

C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

remain unchanged from the July 29, 

2009 rulemaking and supporting human 

health risk assessment (D365210, June 8, 

2009). Provided that the AAAPSDs are 

limited to no more than 30% by weight 

in the final formulation, there were no 

dietary, residential or aggregate risks of 

concern for the U.S. population and all 

subpopulations. No occupational risks 

of concern were identified when 

assuming that mixer/loader/applicators 

will wear chemical-resistant gloves. 

Based on this human health risk 

assessment, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance was 

established under 40 CFR 180.920 for 

pre-harvest use of AAAPDs to no more 

than 30% by weight in pesticide enduse products. This risk assessment also 

supported the use of the AAASD inert 

ingredients in pesticide formulations 

intended for use pre- and post-harvest 

(40 CFR 180.910) as well as for use on 

livestock (40 CFR 180.930). Therefore, 

provided alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, 

sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

are limited to no more than 30% by 

weight in the final formulation, there 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 5705 

are no dietary, residential or aggregate 

risks of concern for the U.S. population 

and all subpopulations. As a result, the 

Agency has determined that a tolerance 

is not necessary to protect public health. 

D. 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 determined that alcohols, 

C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

share a common mechanism of toxicity 

with any other substances, and alcohols, 

C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts do 

not appear to produce a toxic metabolite 

produced by other substances. For the 

purposes of this tolerance action, 

therefore, EPA has assumed that 

alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts do 

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 website at https:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative. 

E. Additional Safety Factor for the 

Protection of Infants and Children 

Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA 

provides that EPA shall apply an 

additional tenfold 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 data base unless 

EPA concludes that a different margin of 

safety will be safe for infants and 

children. EPA continues to conclude 

that there is reliable data showing that 

the safety of infants and children would 

be adequately protected if the Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety 

factor were reduced from 10x to 1x. The 

reasons for that decision are articulated 

in Unit IV.D. of the July 29, 2009 

rulemaking. 

F. Determination of Safety 

Therefore, based on the risk 

assessments and information described 

above, EPA concludes there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result to the general population, or to 

infants and children, from aggregate 

exposure to alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts.

Agency’s analysis can be found at

Sulfates, 

Mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium Salts

Tolerance Exemption for Alkyl Alcohol 

Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate 

Derivatives (AAAPSDs)’’ These 

documents can be found in docket ID 

numbers EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0131 and 

EPA–HQ–OPP–2021–0656. 

V. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

An analytical method is not required 

for enforcement purposes since the 

Agency is not establishing a numerical 

tolerance for residues of alcohols, C10– 

16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts in 

or on any food commodities. EPA is 

establishing a limitation on the amount 

of alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, 

sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

that may be used in pesticide 

formulations. This limitations 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 

formulation for food use that exceeds 

30% by weight of alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts in 

the final pesticide formulation. 

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. 

The Codex has not established a MRL 

for alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, 

sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts. 

VI. Conclusion 

EPA finds that exempting residues of 

alcohols, C10–16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

from the requirement of a tolerance will 

be safe. Therefore, an exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance is 

established under 40 CFR 180.910 and 

180.930 for alcohols, C10–16, 

ethoxylated, sulfates, 

mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts 

when used as an inert ingredient at no 

more than 30% by weight in pesticide 

formulations. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes 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 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 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with RULES1
5706 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 22 / Wednesday, February 2, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

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).
