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. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 
#1F8917) by Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC, 410 Swing Road, P.O. Box 
18300, Greensboro, NC 27410-8300. The petition requested that 40 CFR 
180.718(a) be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of the 
fungicide picarbutrazox, (1,1-dimethylethyl N-[6-[[[(Z)-[(1-methyl-1H-

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 (non-occupational) 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

[[Page 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 petitioned-for 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-1H-tetrazol-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

[[Page 34206]]

straw, group 16 at 0.01 ppm; herb group 25 at 0.01 ppm; rapeseed 
subgroup 20A at 0.01 ppm; spice group 26 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, 
Brassica, head and stem, group 5-16 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, bulb, group 
3-07 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, 
foliage of legume, group 7 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, fruiting, group 8-10 
at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, leafy, group 4-16 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, 
leaves of root and tuber, group 2 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, legume, group 
6 at 0.01 ppm; vegetable, stalk, stem, and leaf 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).
