The
data
input
included
the
following
categories
of
data
for
performing
the
dietary
exposure
assessment:
Subpopulations
of
interest,
(
infants
1
to
2
years
of
age
and
adults
20
to
49
years
of
age);
List
of
foods
which
were:
blueberry,
grape,
grape
juice,
grape
raisin,
grape
wine/
sherry,
and
kiwifruit;
food
residues
which
were:
0.001
(
blueberry
baby

0.0007
for
grape

0.0007
for

0.03
for

0.007

and
0.01
for
kiwifruit;
and
toxicological
benchmarks
which
were
0.07
mg/
kg/
day
for
the
oral
no
observed
effect
level
(
NOEL)
on
a
chronic
(
365
 
day)
basis
and
25
mg/
kg/
day
for
the
oral
NOEL
based
on
an
acute
(
1
 
day)
basis.
The
FCID
(
Food
Consumption
Information
Database)
data
set
was
used
to
obtain
food
consumption
data
in
grams
per
kilogram
of
body
weight.
i.
Food.
The
chronic
dietary
exposure
calculations
for
infants
(
1
to
2
years
old)
indicate
that
over
a
period
of
one
year:
 
99.9%
of
infants
would
ingest
less
than
0.0000515
mg/
kg/
day
(
0.071%
of
Oral
NOEL)
 
99.0%
of
infants
would
ingest
less
than
0.0000469
mg/
kg/
day
(
0.067%
of
Oral
NOEL)
 
95.0%
of
infants
would
ingest
less
than
0.0000429
mg/
kg/
day
(
0.061%
of
Oral
NOEL)
Similar
dietary
exposure
calculations
for
adults
(
20
to
49
years
old)
indicate
that:
 
99.9%
of
adults
would
ingest
less
than
0.0000076
mg/
kg/
day
(
0.011%
of
Oral
NOEL)
 
99.0%
of
adults
would
ingest
less
than
0.0000067
mg/
kg/
day
(
0.010%
of
Oral
NOEL)
 
95%
of
adults
would
ingest
less
than
0.0000060
mg/
kg/
day
(
0.009%
of
Oral
NOEL)
Blueberries
have
not
been
included
in
the
petition
for
registration
even
though
they
were
included
in
the
dietary
risk
assessment
which
is
shown
above.
Even
with
the
blueberries
included
in
the
risk
assessment
the
total
percent
of
the
oral
NOEL
on
a
chronic
basis
represents
only
0.0229%
of
the
oral
NOEL.
On
this
basis,
there
cannot
be
any
anticipated
harmful
effects
to
public
health.
Acute
(
1
 
day)
Exposure
does
not
represent
any
hazard
since
no
acute
exposure
was
identified
in
this
risk
assessment.
ii.
Drinking
water.
The
very
low
use
rate
of
CPPU,
i.
e.
10
grams
active
ingredient
or
less
per
acre
if
used
constantly
for
20
years
would
apply
less
than
0.5
pounds
of
CPPU
per
acre
during
that
20
year
period.
Computer
modeling,
using
the
conservative
pesticide
root
zone
model
(
PRZM)
means
of
analysis
has
shown
that
no
CPPU
would
reach
ground
water,
even
in
sandy
loam
soils.
The
results
of
this
risk
analysis
supported
an
unambiguous
conclusion
of
``
essentially
zero
risk
to
ground
water''
even
under
reasonable
worst­
case
assumptions.
Concentrations
are
not
predicted
to
exceed
15
to
20
ppb
of
CPPU
in
the
soil
in
the
upper
soil
horizons,
even
following
yearly
applications
for
as
long
as
30
years.
No
secondary
exposure
is
anticipated
as
a
result
of
contamination
of
drinking
water.
2.
Non­
dietary
exposure.
No
nondietary
exposure
is
expected
since
CPPU
is
not
anticipated
to
be
found
in
the
drinking
water.
This
material
does
not
translocate
in
plants
and
thus
secondary
exposure
through
plants
growing
in
soil
receiving
CPPU
is
not
anticipated.
The
extremely
low
application
rates
will
not
result
in
significant
buildup
in
the
environment.
Data
indicate
that
any
parent
material
of
CPPU
left
in
the
soil
will
be
strongly
bound
to
soil
particles
and
will
not
move.

D.
Cumulative
Effects
There
are
no
cumulative
effects
expected
since
CPPU
is
not
taken
up
by
plants
from
the
soil.
It
slowly
degrades
to
mineral
end
points.
Its
low
use
rates
and
infrequent
applications
are
not
conducive
to
build
in
the
environment.

E.
Safety
Determination
1.
U.
S.
population.
As
pointed
out
above
in
dietary
exposure­
food
the
percentage
of
the
reference
dose
consumed
by
treating
the
subject
crops
represents
less
than
1%
of
the
estimated
safe
level
for
the
most
sensitive
segment
of
the
population,
non­
nursing
infants.
2.
Infants
and
children.
No
developmental,
reproductive
or
fetotoxic
effects
have
been
associated
with
CPPU.
The
calculation
of
safety
margins
with
respect
to
these
segments
of
the
population
were
taken
into
consideration
in
the
CARES
(
Cumulative
and
Aggregate
Risk
Evaluation
System)
model
estimates
with
respect
to
the
risk
associated
with
the
percentage
of
the
reference
dose
being
consumed.

F.
International
Tolerances
There
is
no
CODEX
maximum
residue
level
established
for
CPPU.
However,
CPPU
is
registered
for
use
on
grapes
and
other
crops
in
Japan,
Chile,
Mexico,
and
South
Africa.

will
be
marked
``

EPA
is
not
required
to
consider
these
late
comments.

1.
Electronically.
If
you
submit
an
electronic
comment
as
prescribed
in
this
unit,
EPA
recommends
that
you
include
your
name,
mailing
address,
and
an
email
address
or
other
contact
information
in
the
body
of
your
comment.
Also
include
this
contact
information
on
the
outside
of
any
disk
or
CD
ROM
you
submit,
and
in
any
cover
letter
accompanying
the
disk
or
CD
ROM.
This
ensures
that
you
can
be
identified
as
the
submitter
of
the
comment
and
allows
EPA
to
contact
you
in
case
EPA
cannot
read
your
comment
due
to
technical
difficulties
or
needs
further
information
on
the
substance
of
your
comment.
EPA's
policy
is
that
EPA
will
not
edit
your
comment,
and
any
identifying

provided
in
the
body
of
a

of
the
comment
that
is

II.
Background
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

Under
section
18
of
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act
(
FIFRA)
(
7
U.
S.
C.
136p),
at
the
discretion
of
the
Administrator,
a
Federal
or
State
agency
may
be
exempted
from
any
provision
of
FIFRA
if
the
Administrator
determines
that
emergency
conditions
exist
which
require
the
exemption.
The
Oregon
Department
of
Agriculture
and
the
Washington
State
Department
of
Agriculture
have
requested
the
Administrator
to
issue
specific
exemptions
for
the
use
of
(
Z,
E)­
3,13­
octadecadienyl
and
(
Z,
Z)­
3,13­
octadecadienyl
on
hybrid
poplar
grown
for
pulp
and
saw
timber
to
control
poplar
clearwig
moth
(
WPCM).
Information
in
accordance
with
40
CFR
part
166
was
submitted
as
part
of
this
request.
As
part
of
this
request,
the
Applicants
assert
that
higher
trap
captures
of
male
WPCM
have
been
observed
in
areas
where
poplar
trees
are
being
harvested.
WPCMs
have
become
the
number
one
pest
in
poplar
plantings
in
Oregon
and
Washington.
WPCM
spend
most
of
their
life
cycle
in
the
heartwood
of
trees,
away
from
contact
of
even
systemic
insecticides.
Repeated
use
of
registered
pesticides
has
failed
to
control
adult
males.
However,
males
are
exceptionally
responsive
to
sex
pheromones.
The
greatest
damage
to
pulp
wood
production
is
damage
in
the
newly
planted
trees.
Young
trees
and
limbs
of
larger
trees
damaged
by
the
burrowing
activity
of
WPCM
larvae
are
very
prone
to
wind­
throw.
Trees
less
than
2
years
old
will
need
to
be
replaced.
Burrowing
activity
of
the
larvae
downgrades
the
value
of
the
pulp
from
quality
bond
paper
to
discolored,
less
valuable
product.
Net
losses
are
estimated
to
be
22%
in
2003
and
future
losses
could
reach
41%
to
56%.
The
Applicant
proposes
to
use
three
different
formulations
containing
the
same
active
ingredients
(
ai)
(
Z,
E)­
3,13­
octadecadienyl
and
(
Z,
Z)­
3,13­
octadecadienyl.
A
stationary,
retrievable,
hand
applied
dispenser
to
protect
newly
planted
trees;
a
battery
operated
puffer­
type
dispenser
to
protect
2
and
3
 
year
old
trees
up
to
15
meters
tall,
and
a
flowable
pheromone
formulation
will
be
used
to
protect
mature
tress
(
greater
than
15
meters
in
height).
All
three
formulations
are
a
4:
1
ratio
of
Z,
E:
Z,
Z­
3,13­
octadecadienyl
straight­
chain
18
carbon
alcohols
that
serves
as
the
sex
pheromone
of
the
WPCM.
The
dispensers
are
placed
in
1
 
year
old
plantings
at
one
dispenser
per
five
trees.
Each
dispenser
contains
approximately
24
milligrams
(
mg)
active
ingredient.
A
maximum
of
three
applications
may
be
made
to
newly
planted
trees.
The
puffers
will
be
applied
by
placing
two
dispensers
per
acre.
Each
dispenser
will
be
loaded
with
a
canister
containing
2.5
gal
ai
and
releasing
mg
quantities
per
day.
After
the
initial
placement
of
the
puffer
dispensers
there
may
be
a
need
for
one
replacement.
The
flowable
formulation
will
be
applied
at
a
rate
of
1.25
gal
ai
per
acre
per
application
with
sequential
applications
being
made
30
days
apart
between
May
1
and
October
1,
2003,
with
a
maximum
of
six
applications.
Up
to
32,000
acres
of
poplar
trees
in
Oregon
and
Washington
may
be
treated.
This
notice
does
not
constitute
a
decision
by
EPA
on
the
application
itself.
The
regulations
governing
section
18
of
FIFRA
require
publication
of
a
notice
of
receipt
of
an
application
for
a
specific
exemption
proposing
use
of
new
chemicals
(
i.
e.,
active
ingredients)
which
have
not
been
registered
by
EPA.
The
notice
provides
an
opportunity
for
public
comment
on
the
application.
The
Agency,
will
review
and
consider
all
comments
received
during
the
comment
period
in
determining
whether
to
issue
the
specific
exemption
requested
by
the
Oregon
Department
of
Agriculture
and
the
Washington
Department
of
Agriculture.
