II. Summary of Petitioned-For 

Tolerance 

In the Federal Register of August 24, 

2021 (83 FR 47275) (FRL–8792–02), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

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

Wheat, hay at 0.01 ppm; and Wheat, 

straw at 0.01 ppm. The August 24, 2021, 

notice of filing referenced a summary of 

the petition prepared by Syngenta Crop 

Protection, LLC, the registrant, which is 

available in the docket, https://

www.regulations.gov. The only 

comment received on the notice of filing 

was from the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, indicating support for the 

tolerance action. 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition, EPA is 

establishing tolerances in accordance 

with section 408(d)(4)(a)(i) of the 

FFDCA. 

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and 

Determination of Safety 

Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA 

allows EPA to establish 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. . . .’’ 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(b)(2)(D), and the factors specified in 

FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), 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 for picarbutrazox 

including exposure resulting from the 

tolerances established by this action. 

EPA’s assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with picarbutrazox 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 a 

tolerance rulemaking for picarbutrazox, 

most recently on March 5, 2021, in 

which EPA concluded, based on the 

available information, that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm would 

result from aggregate exposure to 

picarbutrazox and established 

tolerances for residues of that pesticide 

chemical. EPA is incorporating 

previously published sections from the 

March 5, 2021, rulemaking as described 

further in this rulemaking, as they 

remain unchanged. 

A. Toxicological Profile 

For a discussion of the Toxicological 

Profile of picarbutrazox, see Unit III.A. 

of the March 5, 2021, rulemaking (86 FR 

12829) (FRL–10019–99). 

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/ 

Levels of Concern 

For a summary of the Toxicological 

Points of Departure/Levels of Concern 

used for the safety assessment, see Unit 

III.B. of the March 5, 2021, rulemaking. 

C. Exposure Assessment. 

Much of the exposure assessment 

remains the same, although updates 

have occurred to accommodate 

exposures from the petitioned-for 

tolerances. The updates are discussed in 

this section; for a description of the rest 

of the EPA approach to and assumptions 

for the exposure assessment, see Unit 

III.C. of the March 5, 2021, rulemaking. 

Dietary exposure from food and feed 

uses. EPA’s dietary exposure 

assessments have been updated to 

include the added exposure from the 

seed treatment uses of picarbutrazox on 

many agricultural commodities. In 

addition, the dietary exposure 

assessment was revised to reflect the 

updated Dietary Exposure Evaluation 

Model that incorporates the What We 

Eat in America (WWEIA) consumption 

data from 2005–2010. For the acute 

dietary exposure assessment, no 

toxicological effects of concern resulting 

from a 1-day or single exposure were 

identified; therefore, this assessment is 

unnecessary. For the chronic dietary 

exposure assessment, EPA used 

tolerance-level residues, 100 percent 

crop treated (PCT), and default 

processing factors. 

Anticipated residue and percent crop 

treated (PCT) information. EPA did not 

use anticipated residue and/or PCT 

information in the dietary assessment 

for picarbutrazox. Tolerance level 

residues and/or 100 PCT were assumed 

for all food commodities. 

Drinking water, non-occupational, 

and cumulative exposures. Drinking 

water exposures and residential (nonoccupational) exposures are not 

impacted by the added seed treatment 

uses in this action. Since the last 

assessment in March 2021, the turf 

application rate has increased (from 

0.33 lb picarbutrazox/acre to 0.44 lb 

picarbutrazox/acre), resulting in 

updated estimated drinking water 

concentrations (EDWCs). The most 

recent dietary risk assessment used the 

updated surface water EDWC of 2.33 

ppb, which was calculated with the 

Pesticide in Water Calculator (PWC) ver. 

2.001. Despite the increased turf 

application rate, the EDWC decreased 

from the March 2021 rule, which used 

a turf surface water EDWC of 2.56 ppb. 

The decreased EDWC is due to use of 

new weather data in the turf modeling 

scenario. 

Picarbutrazox is currently registered 

for use on turf that could result in 

residential exposures. The residential 

risk estimate that was used in the 

aggregate assessment is incidental oral 

hand-to-mouth post-application 

exposure to treated turf/lawns for 

children aged 1 to less than 2 years old. 

The Agency would like to note that the 

March 2021 rule inaccurately described 

intermediate-term aggregate exposure. 

The only exposure, or risk assessed, for 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 108 / Monday, June 6, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 34205 

residential post-application exposures 

in the March 2021 rule was for 

incidental oral scenarios for children 1 

to <2 years old, which is a short-term 

exposure. Intermediate-term exposure is 

not anticipated when assessing 

incidental oral exposures. 

EPA’s conclusions concerning 

cumulative risk remain unchanged from 

the March 5, 2021, rulemaking. 

D. Safety Factor for Infants and 

Children 

EPA continues to conclude that there 

is reliable data to support the reduction 

of the Food Quality Protection Act 

(FQPA) safety factor to 1x. See Unit 

III.D. of the March 5, 2021, rulemaking 

for a discussion of the Agency’s 

rationale for that determination. 

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of 

Safety 

EPA determines whether acute and 

chronic dietary pesticide exposures are 

safe by comparing aggregate exposure 

estimates to the acute population 

adjusted dose (aPAD) and chronic 

population adjusted dose (cPAD). For 

linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the 

lifetime probability of acquiring cancer 

given the estimated aggregate exposure. 

Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term 

risks are evaluated by comparing the 

estimated aggregate food, water, and 

residential exposure to the appropriate 

points of departure to ensure that an 

adequate margin of exposure (MOE) 

exists. 

Picarbutrazox is not expected to pose 

an acute dietary risk, as no adverse 

effect from a single dose exposure was 

identified and no acute dietary endpoint 

was selected. Chronic dietary risks are 

below the Agency’s level of concern of 

100% of the cPAD; they are <1% of the 

cPAD for all infants (<1 year old), the 

population group receiving the greatest 

exposure. 

The Agency analyzed short-term 

aggregate risk by aggregating chronic 

dietary (food and drinking water) 

exposure to children 1 to <2 years old 

with incidental oral hand-to-mouth 

post-application exposure to children 1 

to <2 years old on treated turf. EPA has 

concluded the combined short-term 

food, water, and residential exposures 

result in an aggregate MOE of 920 for 

children 1 to <2 years old. Because 

EPA’s level of concern for picarbutrazox 

is an MOE of 30 or below, these MOEs 

are not of concern. 

Based on the lack of chronic risk, EPA 

concludes that aggregate exposure to 

picarbutrazox will not pose a cancer risk 

to humans. 

Therefore, based on these risk 

assessments and information described 

above, EPA concludes that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 

result to the general population, or to 

infants and children from aggregate 

exposure to picarbutrazox residues. 

More detailed information can be found 

at https://www.regulations.gov in the 

document titled ‘‘Picarbutrazox. Human 

Health Risk Assessment for the 

Proposed Section 3 Registration to 

Expand Seed Treatment Use for Several 

Agricultural Crops’’ in docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2021–0400. 

IV. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

For a discussion of the available 

analytical enforcement method, see Unit 

IV.A. of the March 5, 2021, rulemaking. 

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 has not established an 

MRL for picarbutrazox. 

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For 

Tolerances 

EPA is establishing tolerances for 

three crop groups: (1) vegetable, foliage 

of legume, group 7; (2) grain, cereal, 

except rice, group 15; and (3) grain, 

cereal, forage, fodder and straw, group 

16. EPA is not establishing tolerances 

for individual commodities included in 

the petition. For example, EPA is 

establishing a tolerance for grain, cereal, 

except rice, group 15 rather than 

establishing tolerances for the 

individual commodities barley, grain; 

buckwheat, grain; oat, grain; pearl 

millet, grain; proso millet, grain; rye, 

grain; sorghum; teosinte, grain; triticale, 

grain; and wheat, grain. 

EPA is not establishing a tolerance for 

cotton as requested because cotton is 

already established under the tolerance 

for cotton, undelinted seed. EPA is 

establishing tolerances for vegetable, 

root, subgroup 1A and vegetable, 

tuberous and corm, except potato, 

subgroup 1D rather than the petitionedfor tolerance for root and tuber 

vegetables, except potato, crop group 1. 

Because data on potato was not 

provided, EPA is establishing tolerances 

for subgroups 1A and 1D, which do not 

require potato representative 

commodity data. All commodities in 

group 1, except potato, are covered by 

establishing tolerances on those two 

subgroups, so EPA is establishing 

tolerances substantively consistent with 

what the petition requested. 

EPA is also correcting the definitions 

of the following commodities to 

conform with EPA’s Food and Feed 

Commodity Vocabulary. The 

commodity definition for herb crop 

group 25 is revised to herb group 25. 

The commodity definition for rapeseed 

(including canola) subgroup 20A is 

revised to rapeseed subgroup 20A. The 

commodity definition for spice crop 

group 26 is revised to spice group 26. 

The commodity definition for brassica 

head and stem vegetables crop group 5– 

16 is revised to vegetable, Brassica, head 

and stem, group 5–16. The commodity 

definition for bulb vegetable group crop 

group 3–07 is revised to vegetable, bulb, 

group 3–07. The commodity definition 

for cucurbit vegetables crop group 9 is 

revised to vegetable, cucurbit, group 9. 

The commodity definition for fruiting 

vegetables crop group 8–10 is revised to 

vegetable, fruiting, group 8–10. The 

commodity definition for leafy 

vegetables crop group 4–16 is revised to 

vegetable, leafy, group 4–16. The 

commodity definition for leaves of root 

and tuber vegetables crop group 2 is 

revised to vegetable, leaves of root and 

tuber, group 2. The commodity 

definitions for edible-podded legume 

vegetables crop subgroup 6A; succulent 

shelled pea and bean crop subgroup 6B; 

dried shelled pea and bean except 

soybean, subgroup 6C are revised to 

vegetable, legume, group 6. The 

commodity definition for stalk, stem, 

and leaf petiole vegetable crop group 22 

is revised to vegetable, stalk, stem, and 

leaf petiole, group 22. 

Finally, EPA is removing the 

established tolerances of 0.01 ppm for 

corn, field, forage; corn, field, grain; 

corn, field, stover; corn, pop, grain; 

corn, pop, stover; corn, sweet, forage; 

corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husks 

removed; corn, sweet, stover; soybean, 

forage; soybean, hay; and soybean, seed 

because these commodities are included 

in vegetable, legume, group 6; vegetable, 

foliage of legume, group 7; grain, cereal, 

except rice, group 15; or grain, cereal, 

forage, fodder, and straw, group 16. 

V. Conclusion 

Therefore, tolerances are established 

for residues of picarbutrazox, (1,1- 

dimethylethyl N-[6-[[[(Z)-[(1-methyl-1Htetrazol-5-yl)phenylmethylene]

amino]oxy]methyl]-2-

pyridinyl]carbamate, in or on cotton, gin 

byproducts at 0.01 ppm; cotton, 

undelinted seed at 0.01 ppm; grain, 

cereal, except rice, group 15 at 0.01 

ppm; grain, cereal, forage, fodder, and

petiole group 22 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, 

root, subgroup 1A at 0.01 ppm; and 

vegetable, tuberous and corm, except 

potato, subgroup 1D at 0.01 ppm. 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes tolerances 

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).
