44620 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 154 / Friday, August 13, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

V. Conclusion 

Therefore, tolerances are established 

for residues of emamectin benzoate (a 

mixture of a minimum of 90% 4′-epimethylamino-4′-deoxyavermectin B1a 

and a maximum of 10% 4′-epimethlyamino-4′deoxyavermectin B1b 

benzoate) and its metabolites in or on in 

or on the soybean, seed at 0.01 ppm. 

VI. 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 

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).

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 pyrrolo[3,4- 

c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, 3,6-bis(4- 

chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro- when used 

as an inert ingredient (dye, coloring 

agent) in pesticide formulations applied 

to growing crops or to raw agricultural 

commodities after harvest. BASF 

Corporation submitted a petition to EPA 

under the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting 

establishment of an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for 

pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, 3,6- 

bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro-. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4- 

dione, 3,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5- 

dihydro- when used in accordance with 

this exemption. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

August 13, 2021. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before October 12, 2021, and must 

be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part

II. Petition for Exemption 

In the Federal Register of December 

21, 2020 (85 FR 82998) (FRL–10016–93), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

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

announcing the filing of a pesticide 

petition (PP IN–11384) by Spring 

Regulatory Sciences, on behalf of BASF 

Corporation, 100 Park Avenue, Florham 

Park, New Jersey 07932. The petition 

requested that 40 CFR 180.910 be 

amended by establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance for 

residues of pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4- 

dione, 3,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5- 

dihydro- (CAS Reg. No. 84632–65–5) 

when used as an inert ingredient (dye, 

coloring agent) in pesticide formulations 

applied pre- and post-harvest. That 

document referenced a summary of the 

petition prepared by BASF Corporation, 

the petitioner, which is available in the 

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

comment was received on the notice of 

filing. EPA’s response to this comment 

is discussed in Unit V.B. 

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 the 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 the FFDCA 

defines ‘‘safe’’ to mean that EPA has 

determined 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 it 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 an 

exemption 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 

harm to human health. In order to 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
44622 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 154 / Friday, August 13, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

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 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 to pyrrolo[3,4- 

c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, 3,6-bis(4- 

chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro- including 

exposure resulting from the exemption 

established by this action. EPA’s 

assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole1,4-dione, 3,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5- 

dihydro- 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 pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, 3,6- 

bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro- (also 

referred to as Pigment Red 254) as well 

as the no-observed-adverse-effect-level 

(NOAEL) and the lowest-observedadverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the 

toxicity studies are discussed in this 

unit. 

Available acute toxicity studies on 

Pigment Red 254 show low oral, dermal, 

and inhalation toxicity. An eye 

irritation, a dermal irritation, and a 

dermal sensitization study were also 

available and showed no effect of 

treatment. No adverse effects of 

treatment were seen in rats in either a 

28-day oral toxicity study or a 

reproduction/developmental toxicity 

study at the highest dose tested (1,000 

mg/kg/day). Therefore, the NOAEL for 

the 28-day study and the parental, 

reproductive, and developmental 

NOAELs are (1,000 mg/kg/day). 

There was no evidence of 

carcinogenicity or neuropathological 

changes or effects reported in any of the 

studies. There were no in vivo or in vitro 

mutagenic effects in mutagenicity 

testing with Pigment Red 254. The 

agency does not believe Pigment Red 

254 will be carcinogenic or neurotoxic. 

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/ 

Levels of Concern 

No toxicological endpoint of concern 

for Pigment Red 254 has been identified 

in the database. 

C. Exposure Assessment 

1. Dietary exposure from food, feed 

uses, and drinking water. In evaluating 

dietary exposure to Pigment Red 254, 

EPA considered exposure under the 

current and proposed uses of Pigment 

Red 254. Dietary exposure to Pigment 

Red 254 may occur from eating foods 

treated with pesticide formulations 

containing this inert ingredient and 

drinking water containing runoff from 

soils containing the treated crops. In 

addition, Pigment Red 254 is used as an 

indirect food additive. However, no 

toxicological endpoint of concern was 

identified for Pigment Red 254, and 

therefore, a quantitative assessment of 

dietary exposure is not necessary. 

2. Non-dietary exposure. The term 

‘‘residential exposure’’ is used in this 

document to refer to non-occupational, 

non-dietary exposure (e.g., textiles 

(clothing and diapers), carpets, 

swimming pools, and hard surface 

disinfection on walls, floors, tables). 

Residential exposure to Pigment Red 

254 may occur based on its use as an 

inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations registered for residential 

uses. Additional non-dietary exposure 

may occur from use of Pigment Red 254 

in consumer products. However, no 

toxicological endpoint of concern was 

identified for Pigment Red 254, and 

therefore, a quantitative residential 

exposure assessment for Pigment Red 

254 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 or exemption, 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 Pigment Red 254 

to share a common mechanism of 

toxicity with any other substances, and 

Pigment Red 254 does not appear to 

produce a toxic metabolite produced by 

other substances. For the purposes of 

this action, therefore, EPA has assumed 

that Pigment Red 254 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 website at http:// 

www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative. 

D. Safety Factor for Infants and 

Children 

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

requires EPA to retain an additional 

tenfold margin of safety in the case of 

threshold effects 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. As noted in Unit 

IV.B., there is no indication of threshold 

effects being caused by Pigment Red 

254. Therefore, this requirement does 

not apply to the present analysis. 

Moreover, due to the lack of any 

toxicological endpoints of concern, EPA 

conducted a qualitative assessment of 

Pigment Red 254, which does not use 

safety factors for assessing risk, and no 

additional safety factor is needed for 

assessing risk to infants and children. 

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of 

Safety 

Taking into consideration all available 

information on Pigment Red 254, EPA 

has determined that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm to the 

general population or any population 

subgroup, including infants and 

children, will result from aggregate 

exposure to Pigment Red 254 residues. 

Therefore, the establishment of 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910 for 

residues of Pigment Red 254 when used 

as an inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations pre- and post- harvest 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 establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance 

without any numerical limitation. 

B. Response to Comments 

One comment was received which 

asserted that Pigment Red 254 contains 

chlorine gas and opposed its use; 

however, chlorine gas is not a 

constituent nor a metabolite/degradate 

of Pigment Red 254 and is therefore not 

relevant to the assessment of this 

chemical. 


jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 154 / Friday, August 13, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 44623 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance is established 

under 40 CFR 180.910 for pyrrolo[3,4- 

c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, 3,6-bis(4- 

chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro- (CAS Reg. 

No. 84632–65–5) when used as an inert 

ingredient (dye, coloring agent) in 

pesticide formulations applied pre- and 

post-harvest. 

VII. 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 tolerance 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).
