Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), α-isooctyl-whydroxy; Exemption From the 

Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation amends an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of a-alkyl-whydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons, and a minimum number 

average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 

(herein referred to as ‘‘AAAs’’ (alkyl 

alcohol alkoxylates)) to include 

Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), a-isooctyl-whydroxy (CAS Reg. No. 61723–78–2) 

when used as an inert ingredient 

(surfactant, related adjuvants of 

surfactants) in pesticide formulations. 

The Spring Trading Company on behalf 

of Sasol Chemicals (USA) submitted a 

petition to EPA under the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

requesting an amendment to an existing 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance. This regulation eliminates the 

need to establish a maximum 

permissible level for residues of 

poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), a-isooctyl-whydroxy. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

September 7, 2017. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before November 6, 2017, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Petition for Exemption 

In the Federal Register of August 5, 

2009 (74 FR 38935) (FRL–8430–1), EPA 

issued a final rule that established an 

exemption from the requirements of a 

tolerance for (residues) of a-alkyl-whydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons, and a minimum number 

average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 

[herein referred to as ‘‘AAAs’’ (alkyl 

alcohol alkoxylates)] when used as an 

inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations. The exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance was 

established for residues of the lower 

molecular weight of a-alkyl-whydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons when used as an inert 

ingredient in pesticide formulations 

applied pre- and post-harvest, applied 

to livestock, and used in antimicrobial 

formulations under 40 CFR 180.910, 40 

CFR 180.930, and 40 CFR 180.940(a). In 

addition, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance was 

established for residues of larger 

molecular weight compounds of a-alkylw-hydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or 

poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the 

alkyl chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons under 40 CFR 180.960. The 

individual chemicals covered by the 

exemption are identified by CAS Reg. 

Nos. 

In the Federal Register of June 8, 2017 

(Volume 82 FR 26641) (FRL–9961–14), 

EPA issued a document pursuant to 

FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

announcing the filing of a pesticide 

petition (PP IN–10990) by The Spring 

Trading Company, (203 Dogwood Trail, 

Magnolia, TX 77354) on behalf of Sasol 

Chemicals (USA) LLC, (12120 

Wickchester Lane, Houston, TX 77079). 

The petition requested that 40 CFR 

180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a) and 

180.960 be amended by modifying the 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of AAAs by 

adding residues of poly(oxy-1,2- 

ethanediyl), a-isooctyl-w-hydroxy, 

identified by CAS Reg. No. 61723–78– 

2, which meets the chemical identity aalkyl-w-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) 

and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers 

where the alkyl chain contains a 

minimum of six carbons. In cases where 

the minimum number average 

molecular weight is 1,100 or more, the 

request is to include the alcohols, C>14, 

ethoxylated in the group of substances 

named under 40 CFR 180.960. For lower 

molecular weights the request is to 

amend the existing exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 

180.910, 180.930 and 180.940(a). 

Based upon review of the data 

supporting the petition, EPA has 

confirmed that the requested CAS Reg. 

No. 61723–78–2 is acceptable for 

inclusion under the currently approved 

descriptor. This determination is based 

on the Agency’s risk assessment which 

can be found at http://

www.regulations.gov in document IN– 

10990; Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), aisooctyl-w-hydroxy: Human Health Risk 

Assessment and Ecological Effects 

Assessment to Support Proposed 

Exemption from the Requirement of a 

Tolerance When Used as an Inert 

Ingredient in Pesticide Formulations 

which can be found in docket ID 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2016–0755. 

III. Inert Ingredient Definition 

Inert ingredients are all ingredients 

that are not active ingredients as defined 

in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are 

not limited to, the following types of 

ingredients (except when they have a 

pesticidal efficacy of their own): 

Solvents such as alcohols and 

hydrocarbons; surfactants such as 

polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty 

acids; carriers such as clay and 

diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as 

carrageenan and modified cellulose; 

wetting, spreading, and dispersing 

agents; propellants in aerosol 

dispensers; microencapsulating agents; 

and emulsifiers. The term ‘‘inert’’ is not 

intended to imply nontoxicity; the 

ingredient may or may not be 

chemically active. Generally, EPA has 

exempted inert ingredients from the 

requirement of a tolerance based on the 

low toxicity of the individual inert 

ingredients. 

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and 

Determination of Safety 

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 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. . . .’’ 

EPA establishes exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance only in those 

cases where it can be clearly 

demonstrated that the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide 

chemical residues under reasonably 

foreseeable circumstances will pose no 

appreciable risks to human health. In 

order to determine the risks from 

aggregate exposure to pesticide inert 

ingredients, the Agency considers the 

toxicity of the inert in conjunction with 

possible exposure to residues of the 

inert ingredient through food, drinking 

water, and through other exposures that 

occur as a result of pesticide use in 

residential settings. If EPA is able to 

determine that a finite tolerance is not 

necessary to ensure that there is a 

reasonable certainty that no harm will 


pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 172 / Thursday, September 7, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 42237 

result from aggregate exposure to the 

inert ingredient, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance may be 

established. 

Consistent with FFDCA section 

408(c)(2)(A), and the factors specified in 

FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), 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 AAAs including 

exposure resulting from the exemption 

established by this action. EPA’s 

assessment of exposures and risks 

associated with AAAs follows. 

The Agency agrees with the petitioner 

that poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), aisooctyl-w-hydroxy-, CAS Reg. No. 

61723–78–2 is an AAA having a 

molecular structure conforming to the 

chemical description given in the 

tolerance exemption expression, i.e., aalkyl-w-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) 

and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers 

where the alkyl chain contains a 

minimum of six carbons and which do 

not contain additional structural 

elements that are not included within 

the tolerance exemption expression 

description. In 2009, in establishing the 

exemption for the AAAs, EPA assessed 

their safety generally using worst case 

exposure assumptions (August 5, 2009; 

74 FR 38935). EPA concluded based on 

that assessment that exempting the 

AAAs from the requirement from a 

tolerance would be safe. Inclusion of 

additional chemicals that are part of the 

group described above in the risk 

assessment for the AAAs would in no 

way alter that prior risk assessment 

given the generic findings on toxicity 

and the worst case exposure 

assumptions used in that risk 

assessment. Accordingly, based on the 

findings in that earlier rule, and the 

finding that poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), aisooctyl-w-hydroxy-, CAS Reg. No. 

61723–78–2 fits within the description 

of AAAs that were the subject of that 

rule, EPA has determined that there is 

a reasonable certainty that no harm to 

any population subgroup, including 

infants and children, will result from 

aggregate exposure to AAAs, including 

the additional chemical described 

above, as inert ingredients in pesticide 

products under reasonably foreseeable 

circumstances. Therefore, the 

amendment of exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 

180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 

180.960, for residues of AAAs to add the 

chemical described above, is safe under 

FFDCA section 408. 

V. Other Considerations 

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology 

An analytical method is not required 

for enforcement purposes since the 

Agency is establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance 

without any numerical limitation. 

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 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 

standards-setting 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. 

The Codex has not established a MRL 

for AAAs. 

C. Response to Comments—No 

Comments Have Been Received 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, the exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 

180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 

180.960 for α-alkyl-w-hydroxypoly 

(oxypropylene) and/or poly 

(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl 

chain contains a minimum of six 

carbons when used as an inert 

ingredient as a surfactant in pesticide 

formulations applied to growing crops, 

animals, or food contact surfaces are 

amended to add the CAS Reg. No. 

61723–78–2 to the description of AAAs. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final rule establishes 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 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 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 

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) (Pub. L. 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 

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

[Docket ID FEMA–2017–0002; Internal 

Agency Docket No. FEMA–8495] 

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at https:// 

www.fema.gov/national-floodinsurance-program-community-statusbook. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective 

date of each community’s scheduled 

suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) 

listed in the third column of the 

following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact Patricia Suber, 

Federal Insurance and Mitigation 

Administration, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 400 C Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–4149. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction 

from future flooding. Section 1315 of 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, 

prohibits the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed in this document no 

longer meet that statutory requirement 

for compliance with program 

regulations, 44 CFR part 59. 

Accordingly, the communities will be 

suspended on the effective date in the 

third column. As of that date, flood 

insurance will no longer be available in 

the community. We recognize that some 

of these communities may adopt and 

submit the required documentation of 

legally enforceable floodplain 

management measures after this rule is 

published but prior to the actual 

suspension date. These communities 

will not be suspended and will continue 

to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance. A notice withdrawing the 

suspension of such communities will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that 

identifies the Special Flood Hazard 

Areas (SFHAs) in these communities. 

The date of the FIRM, if one has been 

published, is indicated in the fourth 

column of the table. No direct Federal 

financial assistance (except assistance 

pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act not in connection with a 

flood) may be provided for construction 

or acquisition of buildings in identified 

SFHAs for communities not
