II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of June 28, 2021 (86 FR 33922) (FRL-10025-
08), 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 
0F8885) by Belchim Crop Protection N.V./S.A., c/o Belchim Crop 
Protection US Corporation, 2751 Centreville Rd., Suite 100, Wilmington, 
DE 19808. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.462 be amended to 
establish tolerances for residues of the herbicide pyridate calculated 
as the stoichiometric equivalent of pyridate, in or on the commodities 
lentils at 0.40 parts per million (ppm) and Rapeseed Subgroup (Crop 
Subgroup 20A) at 0.015 ppm. That document referenced a summary of the 
petitioned prepared by Belchim Crop Protection, the registrant, which 
is available in the docket, https://www.regulations.gov. There were no 
comments received in response to the Notice of Filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition and in 
accordance with its authority under FFDCA section 408(d)(4)(A)(i), EPA 
is establishing the tolerance for rapeseed crop subgroup 20A at a 
different level than petitioned-for and is revising the commodity 
definition. The reasons for these changes are explained in Unit IV.C.

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 in 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 pyridate including exposure 
resulting from the tolerances established by this action. EPA's 
assessment of exposures and risks associated with pyridate follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its 
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of 
the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered 
available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities 
of major identifiable

[[Page 31740]]

subgroups of consumers, including infants and children.
    The toxicological database for pyridate is adequate for hazard 
characterization, toxicity endpoint selection, and Food Quality 
Protection Act (FQPA) Safety Factor (SF) consideration. The available 
toxicity database for pyridate indicates that the nervous system is the 
toxicological target in studies where pyridate was administered via 
gavage or capsules, with the dog and the rat showing similar levels of 
sensitivity once bodyweight scaling is considered. The neurotoxic 
effects were associated with the peak plasma concentrations, occurred 
within a few hours of treatment, and resolved in less than 24 hours of 
the bolus dose from gavage or capsule administration. The 
neurobehavioral effects do not appear to be accumulative or progressive 
since the effects in the subchronic dog study occurred at approximately 
the same dose where effects were seen in the chronic dog study and were 
generally resolved within 6 hours of treatment. No evidence of 
neurotoxicity was observed in the studies where pyridate was 
administered via the diet (feed) following subchronic or chronic 
dietary exposure. Effects observed following dietary (feed) exposure 
were generally limited to systemic toxicity, primarily reductions in 
bodyweight. Additionally, there were no effects seen at the limit dose 
in the dermal toxicity study.
    There was no evidence of increased susceptibility to the fetus or 
offspring in the available developmental and reproduction toxicity 
studies. Developmental (missing and unossified sternebrae and decreased 
bodyweight in fetuses) and offspring effects (decreased bodyweights) 
were seen in the presence of maternal toxicity in rats. An increased 
incidence of abortions was also noted in the developmental toxicity 
study in rabbits at the highest dose tested.
    Pyridate is classified as ``Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to 
Humans.''
    Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the 
adverse effects caused by pyridate as well as the no-observed-adverse-
effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level 
(LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at https://www.regulations.gov in the document titled ``Pyridate. Human Health 
Risk Assessment for the Proposed New Section 3 Registration on Lentils, 
Rapeseed Subgroup 20A, Popcorn, and Seed Corn.'' (hereinafter referred 
to as ``Pyridate Human Health Risk Assessment'') on pages 25-27 in 
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0339.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA 
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of 
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the 
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no 
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for 
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed 
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to 
determine the dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL) 
and the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified 
(the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are used in conjunction with 
the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--generally referred to as a 
population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe 
margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes 
that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the 
Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of 
the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the 
general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete 
description of the risk assessment process, see https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/standard-operating-procedures-residential-pesticide.
    A summary of the toxicological endpoints for pyridate used for 
human risk assessment can be found in the Pyridate Human Health Risk 
Assessment on pages 13-16.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary 
exposure to pyridate, EPA considered exposure under the petitioned-for 
tolerances as well as all existing pyridate tolerances in 40 CFR 
180.462. EPA assessed dietary exposures from pyridate in food as 
follows:
    i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk 
assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide, if a toxicological 
study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring 
as a result of a 1-day or single exposure. Such effects were identified 
for pyridate.
    In conducting the acute dietary exposure assessment, EPA used the 
2005-2010 food consumption data from the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture's (USDA's) National Health and Nutrition Examination 
Survey, What We Eat in America (NHANES/WWEIA). The acute dietary 
exposure assessment is unrefined, assuming tolerance-level residues, 
100% crop treated (100 PCT) for all commodities, and default processing 
factors.
    ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure 
assessment EPA used the food consumption data from the USDA 2005-2010 
food consumption data from the NHANES/WWEIA. The chronic dietary 
exposure assessment is unrefined, assuming tolerance-level residues, 
100 PCT for all commodities, and default processing factors.
    iii. Cancer. EPA has classified pyridate as ``Not Likely to be 
Carcinogenic to Humans'' as there was no evidence carcinogenicity in 
either of the rodent cancer studies; therefore, a cancer dietary 
assessment was not performed.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The Agency used screening-
level water exposure models in the dietary exposure analysis and risk 
assessment for pyridate in drinking water. These simulation models take 
into account data on the physical, chemical, and fate/transport 
characteristics of pyridate. Further information regarding EPA drinking 
water models used in pesticide exposure assessment can be found at 
https://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/about-water-exposure-medels-used-pesticide.
    Based on the Pesticides in Water Calculator (PWC; version 1.52), 
the estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) of pyridate are 
estimated to be 363 parts per billion (ppb) for acute dietary exposures 
and 256 ppb for chronic dietary exposures.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is 
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary 
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control, 
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets). Pyridate is not 
registered for any specific use patterns that would result in 
residential exposure.
    4. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of 
toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when 
considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, 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.''
    Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a cumulative 
risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, EPA has not made 
a common

[[Page 31741]]

mechanism of toxicity finding as to pyridate and any other substances 
and pyridate does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by 
other substances. For the purposes of this action, therefore, EPA has 
not assumed that pyridate has a common mechanism of toxicity with other 
substances.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA 
shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants 
and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal 
and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the database on toxicity 
and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a 
different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This 
additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA Safety 
Factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either retains the default 
value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety factor when 
reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a different 
factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There was no evidence of 
increased susceptibility to the fetus or offspring in the available 
developmental and reproduction toxicity studies. Developmental (missing 
and unossified sternebrae and decreased bodyweight in fetuses) and 
offspring effects (decreased bodyweights) were seen in the presence of 
maternal toxicity in rats. An increased incidence of abortions was also 
noted in the developmental toxicity study in rabbits at the highest 
dose tested. Since these effects occurred in the presence of comparable 
or more severe maternal toxicity, they were not considered evidence of 
qualitative susceptibility. Furthermore, the selected points of 
departure are protective of these effects.
    3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show the 
safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the 
FQPA SF were reduced to 1X for all exposure scenarios. That decision is 
based on the following findings:
    i. The toxicology database for pyridate is complete and includes 
acceptable developmental and reproductive toxicity studies for 
evaluating sensitivity for infants and children.
    ii. There are adverse neurotoxic effects observed in the database 
for pyridate both in the acute neurotoxicity (ACN) and in other 
studies, including the subchronic rat and chronic and subchronic dog, 
with effects such as emesis, ataxia, salivation, dyspnea, tremors, and 
prostration in dogs; and hypoactivity and excessive salivation in rats. 
However, these effects were only observed in studies where the test 
animals were exposed to a concentrated bolus of the chemical (gavage/
capsule) and not in studies in which animals were exposed through the 
diet. These neurotoxic effects increased rapidly in incidence within 1-
3 hours after dosing and gradually resolved over the next 8-12 hours 
and do not show progression in chronic studies. EPA concluded based 
upon a weight-of-evidence approach that the subchronic neurotoxicity 
study was not required for risk assessment at this time. Although there 
is evidence of neurotoxicity, concern is low since the selected 
endpoints for this chemical are protective of these effects.
    iii. There was no evidence of increased quantitative or qualitative 
susceptibility in the developmental toxicity studies in rabbits or rats 
or the reproduction toxicity study in rats.
    iv. There is no residual uncertainty in the exposure database. The 
dietary assessment is based on high-end assumptions such as modeled, 
high-end estimates of residues in drinking water, assuming 100 PCT and 
tolerance-level residues. In addition, there are no residential uses 
proposed for pyridate at this time. These assessments will not 
underestimate the exposure and risks posed by pyridate.

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 PAD (aPAD) and chronic PAD (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 PODs to ensure that an 
adequate MOE exists.
    1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into 
account acute exposure estimates from dietary consumption of food and 
drinking water. Using the exposure estimates from dietary consumption 
of food and drinking water, EPA has concluded that acute exposure to 
pyridate from food and water will utilize 33% of the aPAD for all 
infants less than 1-year old, the most highly exposed population 
subgroup.
    2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this 
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure of 
pyridate from food and water will utilize 18% of the cPAD for all 
infants less than 1-year old, the population group receiving the 
greatest exposure.
    3. Short- and intermediate-term risks. Short- and intermediate-term 
exposure takes into account short- and intermediate-term residential 
exposure plus chronic exposure to food and water (considered to be a 
background exposure level). A short-term adverse effect and an 
intermediate-term adverse effect were identified; however, pyridate is 
not registered for any use patterns that would result in short- or 
intermediate-term residential exposure. Short- and intermediate-term 
risk is assessed based on short- and intermediate-term residential 
exposure plus chronic dietary exposure. Because there is no short- or 
intermediate-term residential exposure and chronic dietary exposure has 
already been assessed under the appropriately protective cPAD (which is 
at least as protective as the POD used to assess short-term risk), no 
further assessment of short-term risk is necessary, and EPA relies on 
the chronic dietary risk assessment for evaluating short- and 
intermediate-term risk for pyridate.
    4. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Based on the lack of 
evidence of carcinogenicity in two adequate rodent carcinogenicity 
studies, pyridate is not expected to pose a cancer risk to humans.
    5. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, 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 pyridate residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology (high-performance liquid 
chromatography with ultraviolet detection (UV-HPLC)) is available to 
enforce the tolerance expression. The method may be requested from: 
Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 
Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350; telephone number: (410) 305-2905; 
email address: [email protected].

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

[[Page 31742]]

(MRLs) established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as 
required by FFDCA section 408(b)(4).
    Codex has not established an MRL for pyridate in/on lentils or 
rapeseed subgroup 20A.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances

    For rapeseed subgroup 20A, the registrant proposed a tolerance of 
0.015 ppm, which is less than the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the 
enforcement method. Therefore, EPA is establishing a tolerance of 0.05 
ppm for rapeseed subgroup 20A, which is the LOQ of the method employed 
in the crop field trials. EPA also adjusted the commodity definition 
for rapeseed subgroup 20A to use standard terminology. In addition, EPA 
dropped the trailing zero from the lentil tolerance value to be 
consistent with current Agency rounding practices.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of pyridate, in 
or on lentil, dry, seed at 0.4 ppm and rapeseed subgroup 20A at 0.05 
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 tolerances 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).
