2. Non-dietary exposure.

Azoxystrobin is registered for

residential use on ornamentals and turf.

The Agency evaluated the existing

toxicological data base for azoxystrobin

and assessed appropriate toxicological

endpoints and dose levels of concern

that should be assessed for risk

assessment purposes. Dermal absorption

data indicate that absorption is less than

or equal to 4%. Azoxystrobin is

currently registered for uses that could

result in intermediate-term residential

exposure and the Agency has

determined that is appropriate to

aggregate chronic food and water and

intermediate-term exposures for

azoxystrobin. EPA has concluded that

food and residential exposures

aggregated result in MOEs of 520

(aggregate short-term), and 420

(aggregate intermediate term) for the

subgroup children 1–6 years old.

D. Cumulative Effects

Azoxystrobin is related to the

naturally occurring strobilurins.

Syngenta concluded that further

consideration of a common mechanism

of toxicity is not appropriate at this time

since there are no data to establish

whether a common mechanism exists

with any other substance.

E. Safety Determination

1. U.S. population. Based on the

exposure assessments described and

completeness and reliability of the

toxicity data, it can be concluded that

there is reasonable certainty that no

harm will result from aggregate

exposure to azoxystrobin. Total

aggregate exposures for all label uses

will utilize less than 16.1% of the cPAD

for the chronic dietary exposures.

2. Infants and children. FFDCA

section 408 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 determines that a different margin

of safety will be safe for infants and

children. Margins of safety are

incorporated into EPA risk assessments

either directly through use of a margin

of exposure analysis or through using

uncertainty (safety) factors in

calculating a dose level that poses no

appreciable risk to humans. In either

case, EPA generally defines the level of

appreciable risk as exposure that is

greater than 1/100 of the NOAEL in the

animal study appropriate to the

particular risk assessment. This

hundredfold uncertainty (safety) factor/

margin of exposure (safety) is designed

to account for combined inter- and

intra-species variability. EPA believes

that reliable data support using the

standard hundredfold margin/factor not

the additional tenfold margin/factor

when EPA has a complete data base

under existing guidelines and when the

severity of the effect in infants or

children or the potency or unusual toxic

properties of a compound do not raise

concerns regarding the adequacy of the

standard margin/factor. The Agency’s

Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA)

Safety Factor Committee removed the

additional 10X safety factor to account

for sensitivity of infants and children.

F. International Tolerances

There are no Codex Maximum

Residue Level’s established for

azoxystrobin.

Proposed CERCLA Administrative

Settlement Agreement—Service First

Barrel and Drum Site, Salt Lake City,

Salt Lake County, UT

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice and request for public

comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

requirements of section 122(h)(1) of the

Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C.

9622(h)(1), notice is hereby given of the

proposed administrative settlement

under section 122(h) of CERCLA, 42

U.S.C. 9622(h), concerning the Service

First Barrel and Drum site between EPA,

and Miguel A. Alpizar and Sylvia P.

Orozco (‘‘Settling Parties’’). The Service

First Barrel and Drum Site, is located at

1066 South Redwood Road, in Salt Lake

City, Salt Lake County, Utah (the

‘‘Site’’). The settlement, embodied in the

proposed Administrative Settlement

Agreement, EPA Docket No. CERCLA–

8–2001–05 (‘‘Agreement’’), is designed

to resolve the Settling Parties’’ liability

at the Site through a covenant not to sue

for all response costs incurred and to be

incurred in connection with removal

activities at the Site.

Miguel A. Alpizar and Sylvia P.

Orozco are the owners of one of the

parcels of land which comprise the Site.

Settling Parties purchased the parcel of

land where a former drum cleaning and

reconditioning business had been

conducted. At the time of purchase, and

pursuant to the Real Estate Purchase

Contract, the seller agreed to take full

responsibility for any and all necessary

remediation procedures required to

cleanup any contamination on the

property. The proposed Agreement is a

cash-out of the Settling Parties’ liability

under section 107(a)(1) of CERCLA, 42

U.S.C. 9607(a)(1). Under the terms of the

proposed Agreement, the Settling

Parties agree to grant access to all

parties conducting removal activities at

the Site and will reimburse the United

States the sum of $2,000. In exchange,

the Settling Parties will settle their

liability for all response costs incurred

at the Site in connection with the

planned removal activities and will

receive contribution protection from

other parties associated with the Site.

OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMENT: For thirty

(30) days following the date of

publication of this notice, the Agency

will consider all comments received and

may modify or withdraw its consent to

the settlement if comments received

disclose facts or considerations which

indicate that the settlement is

inappropriate, improper, or inadequate.

The Agency’s response to any comments

received will be available for public

inspection at the EPA Superfund Record

Center, 999 18th Street, 5th Floor, in

Denver, Colorado.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before June 29, 2001.

ADDRESSES: The proposed settlement

and additional background information

relating to the settlement are available

for public inspection at the EPA

Superfund Records Center, 999 18th

Street, 5th Floor, in Denver, Colorado.

Comments and requests for a copy of the

proposed settlement should be

addressed to Carol Pokorny,

Enforcement Specialist (8ENF–T),

Technical Enforcement Program, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, 999
