Lavandulyl Senecioate; Exemption 

From the Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of the arthropod 

pheromone, lavandulyl senecioate, in or 

on all raw agricultural commodities 

when applied or used in microbeads/

dispensers at a rate not to exceed 150 

grams active ingredient/acre/year in 

accordance with good agricultural 

practices. Suterra, LLC submitted a 

petition to EPA under the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

requesting an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of lavandulyl senecioate. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

August 17, 2015. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before October 16, 2015, 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. Background and Statutory Findings 

In the Federal Register of March 4, 

2015 (80 FR 11611) (FRL–9922–68), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 

346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a 

pesticide tolerance petition (PP 4F8292) 

by Suterra, LLC, 20950 NE Talus Place, 

Bend, OR 97701. The petition requested 

that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by 

establishing an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for residues 

of lavandulyl senecioate in or on all raw 

agricultural commodities when applied 

to growing crops at a rate not to exceed 

150 grams of active ingredient per acre 

per year. That document referenced a 

summary of the petition prepared by the 

petitioner Suterra, LLC, which is 

available in the docket via http://

www.regulations.gov. No comments 

were received on the notice of filing. 

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. Pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), in 

establishing or maintaining in effect an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance, EPA must take into account 

the factors set forth in FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(C), which require 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. . . .’’ Additionally, 

FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D) requires 

that 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 performs a number of analyses to 

determine the risks from aggregate 

exposure to pesticide residues. First, 

EPA determines the toxicity of 

pesticides. Second, EPA examines 

exposure to the pesticide through food, 

drinking water, and through other 

exposures that occur as a result of 

pesticide use in residential settings. 

III. Toxicological Profile 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(D), 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. 

A. Overview of Lavandulyl Senecioate 

Lavandulyl senecioate (5-methyl-2-(1- 

methylethenyl)-4-hexenyl 3-methyl-2- 

butonate) is a technical grade synthetic 

arthropod pheromone. This arthropod 

pheromone is structurally similar to and 

mimics a naturally occurring 

pheromone produced by the female vine 

mealybug (Planococcus ficus) to attract 

males for mating. This pheromone is 

used to disrupt the normal mating cycle 

of the vine mealybug and has a nontoxic mode of action. 

As an arthropod pheromone, 

lavandulyl senecioate is exempt from 

the requirement of a tolerance when 

used in retrievably sized polymeric 

matrix dispensers in or on all raw 

agricultural commodities when applied 

to growing crops only at a rate not to 

exceed 150 grams active ingredient/

acre/year in accordance with good 

agricultural practices (40 CFR 

180.1124). The petitioner is requesting 

to apply this arthropod pheromone in 

an aqueous suspension of micro-bead/

dispensers via normal spray equipment; 

therefore, the proposed new use of 

lavandulyl senecioate is not covered 

under the existing tolerance exemption 

listed in 40 CFR 180.1124. See the 

document entitled, ‘‘Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

Considerations for Lavandulyl 

Senecioate’’ (June 30, 2015), available in 

the docket for this action. 

B. Biochemical Pesticide Toxicology 

Data Requirements 

All applicable mammalian toxicology 

data requirements supporting the 

petition to exempt residues of the 

arthropod pheromone, lavandulyl 

senecioate, from the requirement of a 

tolerance in or on all raw agricultural 

commodities when applied or used in 

microbeads/dispensers at a rate not to 

exceed 150 grams active ingredient/

acre/year have been fulfilled. No 

significant toxicological effects were 

observed in any of the acute toxicity 

studies. Three mutagenicity studies 

submitted indicate that lavandulyl 

senecioate is not a mutagen. There are 

no known effects on endocrine systems 

via oral, dermal, or inhalation routes of 

exposure. 

In the preamble to the final rule that 

exempted arthropod pheromones from 

the requirement of a tolerance when 

used in retrievably sized polymeric 

matrix dispensers, the Agency indicated 

that it did not have a toxicology 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
49170 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 158 / Monday, August 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

database for arthropod pheromones that 

addressed the potential risk of repeated, 

direct dietary exposure with sprayable 

formulations; therefore, at that time, the 

Agency limited the tolerance exemption 

to arthropod pheromones used in 

retrievably sized polymeric matrix 

dispensers with an annual rate 

limitation of 150 grams of active 

ingredient per acre. The Agency 

concluded that the limitations would 

not result in dietary exposure any 

greater than what may be found 

naturally as a result of heavy 

infestations of the pest arthropod. 

March 30, 1994 (59 FR 14757) (FRL– 

4761–9). 

To address the subchronic and 

prenatal developmental toxicity data 

requirements for this exemption from 

the requirement of a tolerance for this 

arthropod pheromone, lavandulyl 

senecioate, the petitioner submitted 

scientific rationales that demonstrate 

that it is highly unlikely that there will 

be significant repeated exposure, 

including dietary exposure and 

exposure to female humans, to this 

pheromone when used as proposed 

based on the extremely low application 

rate, low emission rate, rapid 

volatilization after emission from the 

microbeads, and rapid biodegradation. 

Taking into account the petitioner’s 

rationale, EPA has concluded that there 

is unlikely to be exposure that could 

result in subchronic and developmental 

effects and so has waived the 

requirements for subchronic and 

prenatal developmental testing. 

For a full discussion of the data and 

rationale upon which EPA relied, and 

its human health risk assessment based 

on that data and rationale, please refer 

to the document entitled, ‘‘Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

Considerations for Lavandulyl 

Senecioate’’ (June 30, 2015). This 

document, as well as other relevant 

information, is available in the docket 

for this action as described under 

ADDRESSES. 

IV. Aggregate Exposures 

In examining aggregate exposure, 

FFDCA section 408 directs EPA to 

consider available information 

concerning exposures from the pesticide 

residue in food and all other nonoccupational exposures, including 

drinking water from ground water or 

surface water and exposure through 

pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or 

buildings (residential and other indoor 

uses). 

A. Dietary Exposure 

In the preamble to the final rule, the 

Agency stated that limiting the 

exemption to applications of arthropod 

pheromones in retrievably sized 

dispensers would severely limit the 

possibility of direct dietary exposure. 

The Agency believed that restriction 

was necessary to protect public health 

due to a lack of data on repeat exposure 

but acknowledged that petitioners 

wanting to use other application 

methods or formulations could petition 

for an amendment by demonstrating 

that the new formulation did not 

increase the likely dietary exposure. For 

this tolerance exemption, based on the 

petitioner’s submission concerning the 

proposed use, the Agency has 

determined that the proposed use 

(applying this arthropod pheromone in 

an aqueous suspension of microbead/

dispensers via normal spray equipment 

with a limitation of 150 grams active 

ingredient/acre/year) will not result in 

detectable residues in or on all food 

commodities. That use is unlikely to 

result in significant dietary exposure to 

lavandulyl senecioate based on the 

extremely low application rate, low 

emission rate, rapid volatilization after 

emission from the microbeads, and 

rapid biodegradation (see document 

entitled, ‘‘Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) Considerations 

for Lavandulyl Senecioate’’ (June 30, 

2015), available in the docket for this 

action). No significant exposure via 

drinking water is expected based on the 

previous information for dietary 

exposure and the fact that the arthropod 

pheromone is not to be applied directly 

to water. However, should any dietary 

and/or drinking water exposure occur, 

minimal to no risk is expected for the 

general population, including infants 

and children, due to the low toxicity of 

lavandulyl senecioate as demonstrated 

in the data submitted and evaluated by 

the Agency, as fully explained in the 

document entitled, ‘‘Federal Food, Drug, 

and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) 

Considerations for Lavandulyl 

Senecioate’’ (June 30, 2015), available in 

the docket for this action. 

B. Other Non-Occupational Exposure 

Other non-occupational exposure 

(other than dietary) is not expected 

because the arthropod pheromone, 

lavandulyl senecioate, is not approved 

for residential uses. 

V. 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 lavandulyl 

senecioate to share a common 

mechanism of toxicity with any other 

substances, and lavandulyl senecioate 

does not appear to produce a toxic 

metabolite produced by other 

substances. For the purposes of this 

tolerance action, therefore, EPA has 

assumed that lavandulyl senecioate 

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. 

VI. Determination of Safety for U.S. 

Population, Infants and Children 

FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides 

that, in considering the establishment of 

a tolerance or tolerance exemption for a 

pesticide chemical residue, EPA shall 

assess the available information about 

consumption patterns among infants 

and children, special susceptibility of 

infants and children to pesticide 

chemical residues, and the cumulative 

effects on infants and children of the 

residues and other substances with a 

common mechanism of toxicity. In 

addition, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) 

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 

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. In 

applying this provision, EPA either 

retains the default value of 10X, or uses 

a different additional or no safety factor 

when reliable data are available to 

support a different additional or no 

safety factor. 

As part of its qualitative assessment, 

EPA evaluated the available toxicity and 

exposure data on lavandulyl senecioate 

and considered its validity, 

completeness, and reliability, as well as 

the relationship of this information to 

human risk. EPA considers the toxicity 

database to be complete and has 

identified no residual uncertainty with 

regard to prenatal and postnatal toxicity 

or exposure. No hazard was identified 

based on the available studies, as fully 

explained in the document entitled, 

‘‘Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA) Considerations for Lavandulyl 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 158 / Monday, August 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 49171 

Senecioate’’ (June 30, 2015), available in 

the docket for this action. Based upon 

its evaluation, EPA concludes that there 

are no threshold effects of concern to 

infants or children when lavandulyl 

senecioate is applied or used in 

microbeads/dispensers in or on all raw 

agricultural commodities at a rate not to 

exceed 150 grams active ingredient/

acre/year. As a result, EPA concludes 

that no additional margin of exposure 

(safety) is necessary. 

Based on the available data, EPA 

determines that there is a reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result from 

aggregate exposure to lavandulyl 

senecioate to the general U.S. 

population, including infants and 

children when applied to growing crops 

using microbeads/dispensers at a rate 

not to exceed 150 grams active 

ingredient/acre/year. EPA concludes 

that an exemption from the requirement 

of a tolerance for residues of lavandulyl 

senecioate in or on raw agricultural 

commodities when applied to growing 

crops using microbeads/dispensers at a 

rate not to exceed 150 grams active 

ingredient/acre/year is safe. 

VII. 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 

without any numerical limitation. 

VIII. Conclusions 

Therefore, an exemption is 

established for residues of the arthropod 

pheromone, lavandulyl senecioate, in or 

on all raw agricultural commodities 

when applied or used in microbeads/

dispensers at a rate not to exceed 150 

grams active ingredient/acre/year. 

IX. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes an exemption 

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). 

X. 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).
