threshold effects to account for prenatal

and postnatal toxicity and the

completeness of the data base. Based on

the current toxicological data

requirements, the data base for spinosad

relative to prenatal and postnatal effects

for children is complete. Further, for

spinosad, the NOAELs in the dog

chronic feeding study which was used

to calculate the RfD (0.027 mg/kg/day)

are considerably lower than the

NOAELs from the developmental

studies in rats and rabbits by a factor of

more than 10–fold.

Concerning the reproduction study in

rats, the pup effects shown at the HDT

were attributed to maternal toxicity.

Therefore, it is concluded that an

additional uncertainty factor is not

needed and that the RfD at 0.027 mg/kg/

day is appropriate for assessing risk to

infants and children.

In addition, the EPA has determined

that the 10X factor to account for

enhanced sensitivity of infants and

children is not needed because: (1) The

data provided no indication of increased

susceptibility of rats or rabbits to in

utero and/or postnatal exposure to

spinosad; (2) no neurotoxic signs have

been observed in any of the standard

required studies conducted; (3) the

toxicology data base is complete and

there are no data gaps; and (4) exposure

data are complete or are estimated based

on data that reasonably account for

potential exposure.

Using the exposure assumptions, the

percent dietary RfD utilized by the

aggregate exposure to residues of

spinosad on existing crop utilizes 15%

of the chronic population adjusted dose

(cPAD) for children 1 to 6 years old, the

most sensitive population subgroup.

The new crop uses have been included

in this assessment. Thus, based on the

completeness and reliability of the

toxicity data and the exposure

assessment, it is concluded that there is

a reasonable certainty that no harm will

result to infants and children from

aggregate exposure to spinosad residues

on the proposed uses including existing

crop uses.

F. International Tolerances

There is no Codex maximum residue

levels established for residues of

spinosad at this time.
