II. Background and Statutory Findings 

In the Federal Register of March 16, 

2009 (74 FR 11100) (FRL–8405–1), EPA 

issued a notice pursuant to section 

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

346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a 

pesticide tolerance petition (PP 8E7461) 

by IR–4, Rutgers University, 500 College 

Road East, Suite 201W., Princeton, NJ 

08540, on behalf of the Arizona Cotton 

Research and Protection Council, 3721 

East Weir Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85040– 

2933. The petition proposes to amend a 

temporary exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance in 40 CFR 

180.1206(b) for residues of the nonaflatoxin-producing microbial 

antifungal agent, A. flavus AF36, in or 

on pistachio. 

This docket included a summary of 

the petition prepared by the petitioner 

IR-4 and Arizona Cotton Research and 

Protection Council. There were no 

comments received in response to the 

notice of filing. 

Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of 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 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. Pursuant to 

section 408(c)(2)(B) of FFDCA, in 

establishing or maintaining in effect an 

exemption from the requirement of a 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 3, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 26545 

tolerance, EPA must take into account 

the factors set forth in section 

408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA, which require 

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....’’ 

Additionally, section 408(b)(2)(D) of 

FFDCA requires that 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 performs a number of analyses to 

determine the risks from aggregate 

exposure to pesticide residues. First, 

EPA determines the toxicity of 

pesticides. Second, EPA examines 

exposure to the pesticide through food, 

drinking water, and through other 

exposures that occur as a result of 

pesticide use in residential settings. 

III. Toxicological Profile 

Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) 

of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the 

available scientific data and other 

relevant information in support of this 

action and considered its validity, 

completeness and reliability and the 

relationship of this information 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. 

The toxicological profile of the 

microbial pesticide, A. flavus AF36 has 

been previously described in the final 

rule of the Federal Register issue of July 

14, 2003 (68 FR 41535) (FRL–7311–6). 

The exemption from tolerance of A. 

flavus AF36, a non-aflatoxin-producing 

strain of Aspergillus flavus, on cotton 

was established in 40 CFR 180.1206. 

The database supporting that exemption 

from tolerance also supports the 

temporary exemption of this active 

ingredient on pistachio in 40 CFR 

180.1206(b). See the Federal Register 

issue of May 23, 2007 (72 FR 28868) 

(FRL–8129–4). 

The microbial pesticide was neither 

toxic nor infective via the oral and 

pulmonary routes. It was placed in 

Toxicity Category IV for acute oral 

effects. The Toxicity Category III 

designation for acute inhalation effects 

is based on the granular nature of the 

microbial pesticide and the submitted 

pulmonary studies. This microbial 

pesticide has been used for more than 

a decade in experimental laboratory and 

field trials and in agricultural practice 

on cotton in Arizona, California, and 

Texas without any reports of adverse 

dermal irritation or hypersensitivity 

effects. 

The petitioner now seeks to amend 

the temporary exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance for A. flavus 

AF36 on pistachio in accordance with 

the Experimental Use Permit (EUP), 

EPA File Symbol 71693–EUP–1, 

published in the Federal Register issue 

of May 23, 2007 (72 FR 28971) (FRL– 

8128–8) and to extend it to December 

31, 2011. 

No further toxicological data are 

required for this amended temporary 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for A. flavus AF36 on 

pistachio. 

IV. Aggregate Exposures 

In examining aggregate exposure, 

section 408 of FFDCA directs EPA to 

consider available information 

concerning exposures from the pesticide 

residue in food and all other nonoccupational exposures, including 

drinking water from ground water or 

surface water and exposure through 

pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or 

buildings (residential and other indoor 

uses). 

For aggregate dietary and other nonoccupational exposure and cumulative 

effects, the Agency continues to rely on 

its previous assessments published in 

the Federal Register, since the 

extension will not change these 

exposures and risks. See the previously 

published July 14, 2003 and May 23, 

2007 Federal Register documents cited 

in Unit III. 

V. Determination of Safety for U.S. 

Population, Infants and Children 

The Agency also relies on the 

previous assessments published in the 

July 14, 2003 and May 23, 2007 Federal 

Register documents cited in Unit III. to 

determine that there is reasonable 

certainty that no harm will result from 

aggregate exposures to residues of the 

antifungal agent A. flavus AF36. 

Because there are no threshold effects of 

concern to infants, children and adults 

when A. flavus AF36 is used as labeled, 

the provision requiring an additional 

margin of safety does not apply. As a 

result, EPA has not used a margin of 

exposure (safety) approach to assess the 

safety of A. flavus AF36. 

VI. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Methods and Endocrine 

Disruptors 

The Agency continues to rely on its 

assessment for endocrine disruptors and 

analytical methods in the previously 

published July 14, 2003 Federal 

Register document cited in Unit III. 

B. Codex Maximum Residue Level 

There is no Codex Maximum Residue 

Level (MRL) for residues of A. flavus 

AF36 on pistachio. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final rule establishes a tolerance 

or exemption from a tolerance under 

section 408(d) of FFDCA 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 final rule 

has been exempted from review under 

Executive Order 12866, 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) or Executive Order 13045, 

entitled Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

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

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., 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 section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as 

the temporary 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 final rule 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES
26546 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 3, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

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 final rule. In addition, this final 

rule does not 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). 

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 104–113, section 

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

VIII. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report to each House of 

the Congress and to the Comptroller 

General of the United States. 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 this final rule in the 

Federal Register. This final rule is not 

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2).
