II. Background 

A. What Action Is the Agency Taking? 

In the Federal Register of May 21, 

2008 (73 FR 29456) (FRL–8362–1), EPA 

issued a proposal to revoke, modify, and 

establish specific tolerances for residues 

of the herbicides benfluralin, 

fluometuron, glyphosate, metolachlor, 

napropamide, norflurazon, and pyrazon; 

and the insecticides carbaryl, diazinon, 

dicrotophos, formetanate hydrochloride, 

and tau-fluvalinate. Also, the proposal 

of May 21 provided a 60–day comment 

period which invited public comment 

for consideration and for support of 

tolerance retention under FFDCA 

standards. 

In this final rule, EPA is revoking, 

modifying, and establishing specific 

tolerances for residues of benfluralin, 

carbaryl, diazinon, dicrotophos, 

fluometuron, formetanate 

hydrochloride, glyphosate, metolachlor, 

napropamide, norflurazon, pyrazon, and 

tau-fluvalinate in or on commodities 

listed in the regulatory text of this 

document. 

EPA is finalizing these tolerance 

actions in order to implement the 

tolerance recommendations made 

during the reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment processes (including 

follow-up on canceled or additional 

uses of pesticides). As part of these 

processes, EPA is required to determine 

whether each of the amended tolerances 

meets the safety standard of FFDCA. 

The safety finding determination of 

‘‘reasonable certainty of no harm’’ is 

discussed in detail in each 

Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) 

and Report on FQPA Tolerance 

Reassessment Progress and Interim Risk 

Management Decision (TRED) for the 

active ingredient. REDs and TREDs 

recommend the implementation of 

certain tolerance actions, including 

modifications, to reflect current use 

patterns, to meet safety findings and 

change commodity names and 

groupings in accordance with new EPA 

policy. Printed copies of many REDs 

and TREDs may be obtained from EPA’s 

National Service Center for 

Environmental Publications (EPA/ 

NSCEP), P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, 

OH 45242–2419; telephone number: 1–

800–490–9198; fax number: 1–513–489–

8695; Internet at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ncepihom and from the National 

Technical Information Service (NTIS), 

5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 

22161; telephone number: 1–800–553–

6847 or (703) 605–6000; Internet at 

http://www.ntis.gov. Electronic copies of 

REDs and TREDs are available on the 

Internet at http://www.regulations.gov 

and http:// www.epa.gov/pesticides/ 

reregistration/status.htm. 

In this final rule, EPA is revoking 

certain tolerances and/or tolerance 

exemptions because either they are no 

longer needed or are associated with 

food uses that are no longer registered 

under FIFRA in the United States. 

Those instances where registrations 

were canceled were because the 

registrant failed to pay the required 

maintenance fee and/or the registrant 

voluntarily requested cancellation of 

one or more registered uses of the 

pesticide active ingredient. The 

tolerances revoked by this final rule are 

no longer necessary to cover residues of 

the relevant pesticides in or on 

domestically treated commodities or 

commodities treated outside but 

imported into the United States. It is 

EPA’s general practice to issue a final 

rule revoking those tolerances and 

tolerance exemptions for residues of 

pesticide active ingredients on crop uses 

for which there are no active 

registrations under FIFRA, unless any 

person in comments on the proposal 

indicates a need for the tolerance or 

tolerance exemption to cover residues in 

or on imported commodities or legally 

treated domestic commodities. 

EPA has historically been concerned 

that retention of tolerances that are not 

necessary to cover residues in or on 

legally treated foods may encourage 

misuse of pesticides within the United 

States. 

Generally, EPA will proceed with the 

revocation of these tolerances on the 

grounds discussed in Unit II.A. if one of 

the following conditions applies: 

• Prior to EPA’s issuance of a 

FFDCA section 408(f) order requesting 

additional data or issuance of a FFDCA 

section 408(d) or (e) order revoking the 

tolerances on other grounds, 

commenters retract the comment 

identifying a need for the tolerance to be 

retained. 

• EPA independently verifies that 

the tolerance is no longer needed. 

• The tolerance is not supported by 

data that demonstrate that the tolerance 

meets the requirements under the 

Federal Quality Protection Act (FQPA). 

In response to the proposal published 

in the Federal Register of May 21, 2008, 

EPA received three general comments 

and one specific comment on diazinon 

during the 60–day public comment 

period, as follows: 

1. General—i. Comment by private 

citizens. Three private citizens 

expressed concerns about pesticides on 

food and that only zero tolerance levels 

should be acceptable. In addition, those 

commenting expressed concern for 

pesticide use in general and their 

possible toxic effects on wildlife and 

humans. 

ii. Agency response. The private 

citizen’s comments did not take issue 

with any of the Agency’s specific 

conclusions to modify, revoke, or 

establish certain tolerances. Also, the 

commenters did not refer to any specific 

studies which pertained to those 

conclusions. EPA believes that the 

tolerance actions finalized herein meet 

the safety standard of FFDCA section 

408, 21 U.S.C. 346a. In developing REDs 

and TREDs, EPA works with 

stakeholders, pesticide registrants, 

growers, and other pesticide users, 

environmental and public health 

interests, the States, the United States of 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), 

other Federal agencies, and others to 

develop voluntary measures or 

regulatory controls needed to effectively 

reduce risks of concern. Such options 

include voluntary cancellation of 

pesticide products or deletion of uses, 

declaring certain uses ineligible or not 

yet eligible, restricting use of products 

to certified applicators, limiting the 

amount or frequency of use, improving 

use directions and precautions, adding 

more protective clothing and equipment 

requirements requiring special 

packaging or engineering controls, 

requiring no-treatment buffer zones, 

employing environmental and 

ecological safeguards, and other 

measures. 

2. Diazinon—i. Comment by the 

American Mushroom Institute. The 

commenter expressed a need for the 

retention of the tolerance for diazinon in 

40 CFR 180.153 on mushrooms and 

mentioned working with EPA’s 

Registration Division to reinstate the 

mushroom use. Diazinon is considered 

a unique tool to control adult fly 

populations in mushroom production 

facilities (when the crop is not present). 

According to the commenter, these fly 

populations (and subsequent 

mechanically transmitted diseases to 

mushrooms) have increased 

dramatically on some farms since use of 

diazinon ceased. 

ii. Agency response. The Agency 

published a cancellation order in the 

Federal Register of July 25, 2007 (72 FR 

40874) (FRL–8139–6) which resulted in 

the immediate cancellation of certain 

uses of diazinon including all uses in 

mushroom houses. The cancellation of 

the uses of diazinon in mushroom 

houses and the subsequent proposed 

revocation of the diazinon tolerance on 

mushrooms were not due to a lack of 

data to support the tolerance or due to 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 10, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 52609 

dietary risk, but rather to an exposure 

risk to workers during application of 

diazinon in mushroom houses. Since 

there are no current or pending uses of 

diazinon in mushroom houses and no 

resolution of the exposure risk to 

workers during application at this time, 

EPA will not retain the tolerance for 

diazinon in 40 CFR 180.153 on 

mushrooms, consistent with the 

Agency’s policy on tolerances for 

canceled uses discussed earlier in this 

unit. 

The Agency did not receive any 

specific comments, during the 60–day 

comment period, on the following 

pesticide active ingredients: Benfluralin, 

carbaryl, dicrotophos, fluometuron, 

formetanate hydrochloride, glyphosate, 

metolachlor, napropamide, norflurazon, 

pyrazon, and tau-fluvalinate. Therefore, 

the Agency is finalizing the 

amendments proposed in the Federal 

Register of May 21, 2008. For the 

detailed discussion of the Agency’s 

rationale for the establishments, 

revocations, and modifications to the 

tolerances, refer to the proposed rule of 

May 21, 2008. 

The regulatory text contained in the 

May 21, 2008 proposal regarding 40 CFR 

180.153(a) inadvertently omitted an 

existing tolerance for use of diazinon on 

beet, garden tops at 0.7 parts per million 

(ppm), This was a clerical error; EPA 

did not intend to revoke this tolerance 

(and did not discuss any such 

revocation in the May 21, 2008 

proposal). The regulatory text in this 

final rule corrects that error, including 

the existing tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.153(a). The Agency also identified 

and corrected commodity terminology 

for consistency that was inadvertantly 

omitted in the proposal. These 

corrections in terminology do not affect 

or change which commodities are 

regulated; in 40 CFR 180.153 from 

escarole to endive in 40 CFR 180.169 

from ‘‘vegetable, foliage legume, group 

7’’ to ‘‘vegetable, foliage of legume, 

subgroup 7A, except soybean;’’ in 40 

CFR 180.229(d) from ‘‘grain, cereal, 

forage group 16’’ to ‘‘grain, cereal, 

forage, fodder, and straw, group 16, 

forage’’ and ‘‘grain, cereal, fodder, and 

straw group 16’’ to ‘‘grain, cereal, forage, 

fodder, and straw, group 16, stover’’ and 

in 40 CFR 180.276 from ‘‘orange, sweet’’

to ‘‘orange.’’

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

EPA may issue a regulation 

establishing, modifying, or revoking a 

tolerance under FFDCA section 408(e). 

In this final rule, EPA is establishing, 

modifying, and revoking tolerances to 

implement the tolerance 

recommendations made during the 

reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment processes, and as followup on canceled uses of pesticides. As 

part of these processes, EPA is required 

to determine whether each of the 

amended tolerances meets the safety 

standards under FFDCA. The safety 

finding determination is found in detail 

in each post-FQPA RED and TRED for 

the active ingredient. REDs and TREDs 

recommend the implementation of 

certain tolerance actions, including 

modifications to reflect current use 

patterns, to meet safety findings, and 

change commodity names and 

groupings in accordance with new EPA 

policy. Printed and electronic copies of 

the REDs and TREDs are available as 

provided in Unit II.A. 

EPA has issued post-FQPA REDs and 

TREDs for benfluralin, carbaryl, 

diazinon, dicrotophos, fluometuron, 

formetanate-hydrochloride, metolachlor, 

napropamide, norflurazon, pyrazon and 

tau-fluvalinate. Also, EPA issued a RED 

prior to FQPA for glyphosate and made 

a safety finding which reassessed its 

tolerances according to FFDCA 

standard, maintaining them when new 

tolerances were established as noted in 

Unit II.A. REDs and TREDs contain the 

Agency’s evaluation of the database for 

these pesticides, including statements 

regarding additional data on the active 

ingredients that may be needed to 

confirm the potential human health and 

environmental risk assessments 

associated with current product uses, 

and REDs state conditions under which 

these uses and products will be eligible 

for reregistration. The REDs and TREDs 

recommended the establishment, 

modification, and/or revocation of 

specific tolerances. RED and TRED 

recommendations such as establishing 

or modifying tolerances, and in some 

cases revoking tolerances, are the result 

of assessment under the FFDCA 

standard of ‘‘reasonable certainty of no 

harm.’’ However, tolerance revocations 

recommended in REDs and TREDs that 

are made final in this document do not 

need such assessment when the 

tolerances are no longer necessary. 

EPA’s general practice is to revoke 

tolerances for residues of pesticide 

active ingredients on crops for which 

FIFRA registrations no longer exist and 

on which the pesticide may therefore no 

longer be used in the United States. EPA 

has historically been concerned that 

retention of tolerances that are not 

necessary to cover residues in or on 

legally treated foods may encourage 

misuse of pesticides within the United 

States. Nonetheless, EPA will establish 

and maintain tolerances even when 

corresponding domestic uses are 

canceled if the tolerances, which EPA 

refers to as ‘‘import tolerances,’’ are 

necessary to allow importation into the 

United States of food containing such 

pesticide residues. However, where 

there are no imported commodities that 

require these import tolerances, the 

Agency believes it is appropriate to 

revoke tolerances for unregistered 

pesticides in order to prevent potential 

misuse. 

When EPA establishes tolerances for 

pesticide residues in or on raw 

agricultural commodities, the Agency 

gives consideration to possible pesticide 

residues in meat, milk, poultry, and/or 

eggs produced by animals that are fed 

agricultural products (for example, grain 

or hay) containing pesticides residues 

(40 CFR 180.6). If there is no reasonable 

expectation of finite pesticide residues 

in or on meat, milk, poultry, or eggs, 

then tolerances do not need to be 

established for these commodities (40 

CFR 180.6(b) and 180.6 (c)). 

C. When Do These Actions Become 

Effective? 

With the exception of certain 

tolerances for carbaryl and 

napropamide, for which EPA added 

specific expiration/revocation dates, the 

Agency is revoking, modifying, and 

establishing specific tolerances, and 

revising specific commodity 

terminologies effective on the date of 

publication of this final rule in the 

Federal Register. With the exception of 

tolerances for carbaryl and napropamide 

with specific expiration/revocation 

dates provided herein, the Agency 

believes that existing stocks of pesticide 

products labeled for the uses associated 

with the revoked tolerances have been 

completely exhausted and that treated 

commodities have had sufficient time 

for passage through the channels of 

trade. The Agency believes that these 

expiration dates allow users to exhaust 

stocks and allows sufficient time for 

passage of treated commodities through 

the channels of trade. 

Any commodities listed in the 

regulatory text of this document that are 

treated with the pesticides subject to 

this final rule, and that are in the 

channels of trade following the 

tolerance revocations, shall be subject to 

FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established 

by FQPA. Under this unit, any residues 

of these pesticides in or on such food 

shall not render the food adulterated so 

long as it is shown to the satisfaction of 

the Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA) that: 

1. The residue is present as the result 

of an application or use of the pesticide 

at a time and in a manner that was 

lawful under FIFRA. 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
52610 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 10, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

2. The residue does not exceed the 

level that was authorized at the time of 

the application or use to be present on 

the food under a tolerance or exemption 

from tolerance. Evidence to show that 

food was lawfully treated may include 

records that verify the dates that the 

pesticide was applied to such food. 

III. Are There Any International Trade 

Issues Raised by This Final Action? 

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, as required 

by section 408(b)(4) of FFDCA. The 

Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food 

and Agriculture Organization/World 

Health Organization food standards 

program, and it is recognized as an 

international food safety standardssetting organization in trade agreements 

to which the United States is a party. 

EPA may establish a tolerance that is 

different from a Codex MRL; however, 

FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that 

EPA explain the reasons for departing 

from the Codex level in a document 

published for public comment. EPA’s 

effort to harmonize with Codex MRLs is 

summarized in the tolerance 

reassessment section of individual REDs 

and TREDs, and in the Residue 

Chemistry document which supports 

the RED and TRED, as mentioned in the 

proposed rule cited in Unit II.A. 

Specific tolerance actions in this rule 

and how they compare to Codex MRLs 

(if any) is discussed in Unit II.A. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

In this final rule, EPA establishes 

tolerances under FFDCA section 408(e), 

and also modifies and revokes specific 

tolerances established under FFDCA 

section 408. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) has these types of 

actions (i.e., establishment and 

modification of a tolerance and 

tolerance revocation for which 

extraordinary circumstances do not 

exist) from review under Executive 

Order 12866, entitled Regulatory 

Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993). Because this final rule 

has been exempted from review under 

Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of 

significance, this final rule 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). This final rule does not 

contain any information collections 

subject to OMB approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any 

enforceable duty or contain any 

unfunded mandate as described under 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public 

Law 104–4). Nor does it require any 

special considerations as required by 

Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal 

Actions to Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994); or OMB review or 

any other Agency action under 

Executive Order 13045, entitled 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). 

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 of 1995 

(NTTAA), Public Law 104–13, section 

12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Pursuant to 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency 

previously assessed whether 

establishment of tolerances, exemptions 

from tolerances, raising of tolerance 

levels, expansion of exemptions, or 

revocations might significantly impact a 

substantial number of small entities and 

concluded that, as a general matter, 

these actions do not impose a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. These analyses 

for tolerance establishments and 

modifications, and for tolerance 

revocations were published on May 4, 

1981 (46 FR 24950) and on December 

17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL–5753–1), 

respectively, and were provided to the 

Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration. Taking into 

account this analysis, and available 

information concerning the pesticides 

listed in this final rule, the Agency 

hereby certifies that this final rule will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. In a memorandum dated May 

25, 2001, EPA determined that eight 

conditions must all be satisfied in order 

for an import tolerance or tolerance 

exemption revocation to adversely affect 

a significant number of small entity 

importers, and that there is a negligible 

joint probability of all eight conditions 

holding simultaneously with respect to 

any particular revocation. (This Agency 

document is available in the docket for 

this rule, as mentioned in Unit II.A.). 

Furthermore, for the pesticides named 

in this final rule, the Agency knows of 

no extraordinary circumstances that 

exist as to the present revocations that 

would change EPA’s previous analysis. 

In addition, the Agency has determined 

that this action will not have a 

substantial direct effect on States, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132, entitled 

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999). Executive Order 13132 requires 

EPA to develop an accountable process 

to ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input 

by State and local officials in the 

development of regulatory policies that 

have federalism implications.’’ ‘‘Policies 

that have federalism implications’’ is 

defined in the Executive order to 

include regulations that have 

‘‘substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government.’’ This final rule 

directly regulates growers, food 

processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, not States. This action does not 

alter the relationships or distribution of 

power and responsibilities established 

by Congress in the preemption 

provisions of section 408(n)(4) of 

FFDCA. For these same reasons, the 

Agency has determined that this final 

rule does not have any ‘‘tribal 

implications’’ as described in Executive 

Order 13175, entitled Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments (65 FR 67249, November 

9, 2000). Executive Order 13175, 

requires EPA to develop an accountable 

process to ensure ‘‘meaningful and 

timely input by tribal officials in the 

development of regulatory policies that 

have tribal implications.’’ ‘‘Policies that 

have tribal implications’’ is defined in 

the Executive order to include 

regulations that have ‘‘substantial direct 

effects on one or more Indian tribes, on 

the relationship between the Federal 

Government and the Indian tribes, or on 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes.’’ This 

final rule will not have substantial 

direct effects on tribal governments, on 

the relationship between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175. 

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 

apply to this final rule.

BILLING CODE 6560–50–S 

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 180 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–0475; FRL–8380–1] 

Acetic acid ethenyl ester, polymer with 

sodium 2-methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propen-1- 

yl)amino]-1-propanesulfonate (1:1), 

hydrolyzed; Tolerance Exemption 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of acetic acid 

ethenyl ester, polymer with sodium 2- 

methyl-2-[(1-oxo-2-propen-1-yl)amino]- 

1-propanesulfonate (1:1), hydrolyzed 

(CAS No. 924892–37–5); when used as 

an inert ingredient in a pesticide 

chemical formulation. Celanese Ltd. 

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 acetic acid ethenyl ester, 

polymer with sodium 2–methyl–2-[(1- 

oxo-2-propen-1-yl)amino]-1- 

propanesulfonate (1:1), hydrolyzed on 

food or feed commodities. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

September 10, 2008. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before November 10, 2008, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
