Background
and
Statutory
Findings
EPA,
on
its
own
initiative,
in
accordance
with
sections
408(
e)
and
408
(
l)(
6)
of
the
Federal
Food,
Drug,
and
Cosmetic
Act
(
FFDCA),
21
U.
S.
C.
346a,
is
establishing
a
tolerance
for
residues
of
the
insecticide
pyriproxyfen,
2­[
1­
methyl­
2­(
4­
phenoxyphenoxy)
ethoxypyridine],
in
or
on
strawberry
at
0.30
part
per
million
(
ppm).
This
tolerance
will
expire
and
is
revoked
on
December
31,
2004.
EPA
will
publish
a
document
in
the
Federal
Register
to
remove
the
revoked
tolerance
from
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations.
Section
408(
l)(
6)
of
FFDCA
requires
EPA
to
establish
a
time­
limited
tolerance
or
exemption
from
the
requirement
for
a
tolerance
for
pesticide
chemical
residues
in
food
that
will
result
from
the
use
of
a
pesticide
under
an
emergency
exemption
granted
by
EPA
under
section
18
of
FIFRA.
Such
tolerances
can
be
established
without
providing
notice
or
period
for
public
comment.
EPA
does
not
intend
for
its
actions
on
section
18­
related
tolerances
to
set
binding
precedents
for
the
application
of
section
408
of
FFDCA
and
the
new
safety
standard
to
other
tolerances
and
exemptions.
Section
408(
e)
of
FFDCA
allows
EPA
to
establish
a
tolerance
or
an
exemption
from
the
requirement
of
a
tolerance
on
its
own
initiative,
i.
e.,
without
having
received
any
petition
from
an
outside
party.
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.
.
.
.''
Section
18
of
FIFRA
authorizes
EPA
to
exempt
any
Federal
or
State
agency
from
any
provision
of
FIFRA,
if
EPA
determines
that
``
emergency
conditions
exist
which
require
such
exemption.''
This
provision
was
not
amended
by
the
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
(
FQPA)
of
1996.
EPA
has
established
regulations
governing
such
emergency
exemptions
in
40
CFR
part
166.

III.
Emergency
Exemption
for
Pyriproxyfen
on
Strawberry
and
FFDCA
Tolerances
The
California
Department
of
Pesticide
Regulation
has
indicated
that
populations
of
the
silverleaf
whitefly
in
the
State
are
at
levels
which
could
result
in
significant
damage
to
the
State's
strawberry
crop.
This
pest
is
relatively
newly­
introduced
into
the
U.
S.,
and
the
registered
alternatives
have
not
provided
adequate
control
thus
far.
Without
adequate
control,
this
pest
was
expected
to
result
in
significant
crop
damage
and
yield
losses
for
strawberry
growers,
leading
to
significant
economic
losses.
EPA
has
authorized
under
FIFRA
section
18
the
use
of
pyriproxyfen
on
strawberry
for
control
of
the
silverleaf
whitefly
in
California.
After
having
reviewed
the
submission,
EPA
concurs
that
emergency
conditions
exist
for
this
State.
As
part
of
its
assessment
of
this
emergency
exemption,
EPA
assessed
the
potential
risks
presented
by
residues
of
pyriproxyfen
in
or
on
strawberry.
In
doing
so,
EPA
considered
the
safety
standard
in
section
408(
b)(
2)
of
FFDCA,
and
EPA
decided
that
the
necessary
tolerance
under
section
408(
l)(
6)
of
FFDCA
would
be
consistent
with
the
safety
standard
and
with
FIFRA
section
18.
Consistent
with
the
need
to
move
quickly
on
the
emergency
exemption

and
Regulations
order
to
address
an
urgent
non­
routine
situation
and
to
ensure
that
the
resulting
food
is
safe
and
lawful,
EPA
is
issuing
this
tolerance
without
notice
and
opportunity
for
public
comment
as
provided
in
section
408(
l)(
6)
of
FFDCA.
Although
this
tolerance
will
expire
and
is
revoked
on
December
31,
2004,
under
section
408(
l)(
5)
of
FFDCA,
residues
of
the
pesticide
not
in
excess
of
the
amounts
specified
in
the
tolerance
remaining
in
or
on
strawberry
after
that
date
will
not
be
unlawful,
provided
the
pesticide
is
applied
in
a
manner
that
was
lawful
under
FIFRA,
and
the
residues
do
not
exceed
a
level
that
was
authorized
by
this
tolerance
at
the
time
of
that
application.
EPA
will
take
action
to
revoke
this
tolerance
earlier
if
any
experience
with,
scientific
data
on,
or
other
relevant
information
on
this
pesticide
indicate
that
the
residues
are
not
safe.
Because
this
tolerance
is
being
approved
under
emergency
conditions,
EPA
has
not
made
any
decisions
about
whether
pyriproxyfen
meets
EPA's
registration
requirements
for
use
on
strawberry
or
whether
a
permanent
tolerance
for
this
use
would
be
appropriate.
Under
these
circumstances,
EPA
does
not
believe
that
this
tolerance
serves
as
a
basis
for
registration
of
pyriproxyfen
by
a
State
for
special
local
needs
under
FIFRA
section
24(
c).
Nor
does
this
tolerance
serve
as
the
basis
for
any
State
other
than
California
to
use
this
pesticide
on
this
crop
under
section
18
of
FIFRA
without
following
all
provisions
of
EPA's
regulations
implementing
FIFRA
section
18
as
identified
in
40
CFR
part
166.

IV.
Aggregate
Risk
Assessment
and
Determination
of
Safety
EPA
performs
a
number
of
analyses
to
determine
the
risks
from
aggregate
exposure
to
pesticide
residues.
For
further
discussion
of
the
regulatory
requirements
of
section
408
of
the
FFDCA

of
the
risk
assessment
process,

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.
EPA
has
sufficient
data
to
assess
the
hazards
of
pyriproxyfen
and
to
make
a
determination
on
aggregate
exposure,
consistent
with
section
408(
b)(
2)
of
FFDCA,
for
a
time­
limited
tolerance
for
residues
of
pyriproxyfen
in
or
on
strawberry
at
0.30
ppm.
EPA's
assessment
of
the
dietary
exposures
and
risks
associated
with
establishing
the
tolerance
follows.

A.
Toxicological
Endpoints
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
subgroups
of
consumers,
including
infants
and
children.
The
nature
of
the
toxic
effects
caused
by
pyriproxyfen,

the
toxicological
dose
and
endpoints

pyriproxyfen
for
use
in
this
human
risk
assessment,
and
the
most
recent
estimated
aggregate
risks
resulting
from
registered
uses
are
discussed
in
the
Federal
Register

Federal
Register
document
for
a
detailed
discussion
of
the
aggregate
risk
assessments
and
determination
of

EPA
relies
upon
that
risk
assessment
and
the
findings
made
in
the
Federal
Register
document
in
support
of
this
action.
Below
is
a
brief
summary
of
the
aggregate
risk
assessment,
including
this
use
on
strawberry.
B.
Exposure
Assessment
EPA
assessed
risk
scenarios
for
pyriproxyfen
under
chronic
and
intermediate
and
short­
term
(
residential)
scenarios.
Because
there
were
no
acute
endpoints
identified,
an
acute
risk
assessment
was
not
conducted.
Nor
was
a
cancer
aggregate
risk
assessment
conducted,
because
pyriproxyfen
is
classified
as
``
not
likely''
to
be
a
human
carcinogen.
The
Dietary
Exposure
Evaluation
Model
(
DEEMTM)
analysis
evaluated
the
individual
food
consumption
as
reported
by
respondents
in
the
Department
of
Agricultural
(
USDA)
1989
 
1992
nationwide
Continuing
Surveys
of
Food
Intake
by
Individuals
(
CSFII)
and
accumulated
exposure
to
the
chemical
for
each
commodity.
The
following
assumptions
were
made
for
the
chronic
exposure
assessments:
Published
and
proposed
tolerance
level
residues
and
100%
crop
treated
were
assumed
for
all
commodities,
and
the
default
processing
factors
were
applied.
Using
these
exposure
assumptions,
EPA
concluded
that
pyriproxyfen
chronic
exposures
from
food
consumption
are
below
levels
of
concern
(<
100%
of
the
chronic
Population
Adjusted
Dose
(
cPAD))
for
the
general
U.
S.
population
and
all
population
subgroups.
The
cPAD
utilized
for
the
most
highly
exposed
subgroup
(
children
1
 
6
years
old)
is
2.7%.
Chronic
risk
from
dietary
exposure
for
infants
(<
1
year
old)
and
children
(
7
 
12
years
old)
utilizes
2.0%
and
1.6%
of
the
cPAD,
respectively.
Chronic
dietary
risk
for
the
general
U.
S.
population
is
1.0%
of
the
cPAD,
and
the
estimated
chronic
risk
for
all
other
population
subgroups
is
below
this
level.
In
addition,
despite
the
potential
for
chronic
dietary
exposure
to
pyriproxyfen
in
drinking
water,
after
calculating
drinking
water
levels
of
concern
(
DWLOCs)
and
comparing
them
to
conservative
model
EECs
of
pyriproxyfen
in
surface
and
ground
waters,
EPA
does
not
expect
the
aggregate
exposure
to
exceed
100%
of
the
cPAD,

shown
in

Short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
aggregate
exposure
takes
into
account
residential
exposure
plus
chronic
exposure
to
food
and
water
(
considered
to
be
a
background
exposure
level).
The
term
``
residential
exposure''
is
used
in
this
document
to
refer
to
nonoccupational
non­
dietary
exposure
(
e.
g.,
for
lawn
and
garden
pest
control,
indoor
pest
control,
termiticides,
flea
and
tick
control
on
pets).
Pyriproxyfen
is
currently
registered
for
various
residential
non­
dietary
sites,
and
is
used
for
flea
and
tick
control
(
home
environment
and
pet
treatments)
as
well
as
products
for
ant
and
roach
control.
Pet
owners
could
potentially
be
exposed
to
pyriproxyfen
during
applications
to
pets;
however,
since
no
short­
term
dermal
or
inhalation
endpoints
were
identified,
only
a
postapplication
residential
assessment
was
conducted.
Both
adults
and
toddlers
could
potentially
be
exposed
to
pyriproxyfen
residues
on
treated
carpets,
floors,
upholstery,
and
pets,
but
it
is
anticipated
that
toddlers
will
have
higher
exposures
than
adults
due
to
behavior
patterns.
Therefore,
the
residential
risk
assessment
addressed
post­
application
exposures
of
toddlers,
which
is
considered
to
be
a
worst­
case
scenario.
Short­
term,
intermediate­
term,
and
long­
term
toddler
hand­
to­
mouth
exposures
(
consisting
of
petting
treated
animals
and
touching
treated
carpets/
flooring)
were
assessed;
long­
term
dermal
exposures
were
also
assessed
for
products
with
anticipated
efficacy
of
more
than
6
months
(
carpet
powders
and
pet
collars).
Toddler
exposures
to
combined
treatment
scenarios,
where
a
pet
owner
treats
the
home
environment
and
the
pet
in
the
same
period
were
also
assessed.
The
Agency
has
determined
that
it
is
appropriate
to
aggregate
chronic
food
and
water
and
short­
term
and
intermediate­
term
exposures
for
pyriproxyfen.
Using
the
exposure
assumptions
described
above
for
shortterm
and
intermediate­
term
exposures,
EPA
has
concluded
that
food
and
residential
exposures
aggregated
result
in
aggregate
MOEs
as
shown
in
the
following
table:

These
aggregate
MOEs
do
not
exceed
the
Agency's
level
of
concern
for
aggregate
exposure
to
food
and
residential
uses.
For
surface
and
ground
water,
the
EECs
for
pyriproxyfen
are
significantly
less
than
the
DWLOCs
as
a
contribution
to
intermediate­
term
and
short­
term
aggregate
exposure.
Therefore,
EPA
concludes
with
reasonable
certainty
that
residues
of
pyriproxyfen
in
drinking
water
do
not
contribute
significantly
to
the
intermediate­
term
or
short­
term
aggregate
human
health
risk
at
the
present
time.
Pyriproxyfen
is
classified
as
not
likely
to
be
a
human
carcinogen,
so
the
Agency
did
not
conduct
a
cancer
aggregate
risk
assessment.
Based
upon
these
risk
assessments,
EPA
concludes
that
there
is
a
reasonable
certainty
that
no
harm
will
result
to
the
general
population,
and
to
infants
and
children,
from
aggregate
exposure
to
pyriproxyfen
residues.

V.
Other
Considerations
A.
Analytical
Enforcement
Methodology
Adequate
enforcement
methodology
(
gas
liquid
chromatography
with
nitrogen­
phosphorus
(
GLC/
NP)
detector)
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;
e­
mail
address:
residuemethods@
epa.
gov.

B.
International
Residue
Limits
There
are
no
Codex,
Canadian,
or
Mexican
maximum
residue
limits
for
residues
of
pyriproxyfen
in/
on
strawberry,
so
international
harmonization
is
not
an
issue.
C.
Conditions
A
maximum
of
two
applications
may
be
made,
at
a
maximum
rate
of
30
grams
active
ingredient
(
a.
i.),
using
ground
application
equipment
only.
No
more
than
60
grams
a.
i.
may
be
applied
per
acre
per
season.

VI.
Conclusion
Therefore,
the
tolerance
is
established
for
residues
of
pyriproxyfen,
2­[
1­
methyl­
2­(
4­
phenoxyphenoxy)
ethoxypyridine],
in
or
on
strawberry
at
0.30
ppm.

VII.
Objections
and
Hearing
Requests
Under
section
408(
g)
of
FFDCA,
as
amended
by
FQPA,
any
person
may
file
an
objection
to
any
aspect
of
this
regulation
and
may
also
request
a
hearing
on
those
objections.
The
EPA
procedural
regulations
which
govern
the
submission
of
objections
and
requests
for
hearings
appear
in
40
CFR
part
178.

Rules
and
Regulations
Although
the
procedures
in
those
regulations
require
some
modification
to
reflect
the
amendments
made
to
FFDCA
by
FQPA,
EPA
will
continue
to
use
those
procedures,
with
appropriate
adjustments,
until
the
necessary
modifications
can
be
made.
The
new
section
408(
g)
of
FFDCA
provides
essentially
the
same
process
for
persons
to
``
object''
to
a
regulation
for
an
exemption
from
the
requirement
of
a
tolerance
issued
by
EPA
under
new
section
408(
d)
of
the
FFDCA,
as
was
provided
in
the
old
sections
408
and
409
of
the
FFDCA.
However,
the
period
for
filing
objections
is
now
60
days,
rather
than
30
days.

When
Will
the
Agency
Grant
a
Request
for
a
Hearing?
A
request
for
a
hearing
will
be
granted
if
the
Administrator
determines
that
the
material
submitted
shows
the
following:
There
is
a
genuine
and
substantial
issue
of
fact;
there
is
a
reasonable
possibility
that
available
evidence
identified
by
the
requestor
would,
if
established
resolve
one
or
more
of
such
issues
in
favor
of
the
requestor,
taking
into
account
uncontested
claims
or
facts
to
the
contrary;
and
resolution
of
the
factual
issues(
s)
in
the
manner
sought
by
the
requestor
would
be
adequate
to
justify
the
action
requested
(
40
CFR
178.32).

VIII.
Regulatory
Assessment
Requirements
This
final
rule
establishes
a
timelimited
tolerance
under
section
408
of
the
FFDCA.
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
rule
has
been
exempted
from
review
under
Executive
Order
12866
due
to
its
lack
of
significance,
this
rule
is
not
subject
to
Executive
Order
13211,
Actions
Concerning
Regulations
That
Significantly
Affect
Energy
Supply,
Distribution,
or
Use
(
66
FR
28355,
May
22,
2001).
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.,
or
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).
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);
or
OMB
review
or
any
Agency
action
under
Executive
Order
13045,
entitled
Protection
of
Children
from
Environmental
Health
Risks
and
Safety
Risks
(
62
FR
19885,
April
23,
1997).
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).
Since
tolerances
and
exemptions
that
are
established
on
the
basis
of
a
FIFRA
section
18
exemption
under
section
408
of
the
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.
In
addition,
the
Agency
has
determined
that
this
action
will
not
have
a
substantial
direct
effect

on
States,
on
the
relationship
between
the
national
government
and
the
States,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
among
the
various
levels
of
government,
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13132,
entitled
Federalism
(
64
FR
43255,
August
10,
1999).
Executive
Order
13132
requires
EPA
to
develop
an
accountable
process
to
ensure
``
meaningful
and
timely
input
by
State
and
local
officials
in
the
development
of
regulatory
policies
that
have
federalism
implications.''
``
Policies
that
have
federalism
implications''
is
defined
in
the
Executive
Order
to
include
regulations
that
have
``
substantial
direct
effects
on
the
States,
on
the
relationship
between
the
national
government
and
the
States,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
among
the
various
levels
of
government.''
This
final
rule
directly
regulates
growers,
food
processors,
food
handlers,
and
food
retailers,
not
States.
This
action
does
not
alter
the
relationships
or
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
established
by
Congress
in
the
preemption
provisions
of
section
408(
n)(
4)
of
the
FFDCA.
For
these
same
reasons,
the
Agency
has
determined
that
this
rule
does
not
have
any
``
tribal
implications''
as
described
in
Executive
Order
13175,
entitled
Consultation
and
Coordination
with
Indian
Tribal
Governments
(
65
FR
67249,
November
6,
2000).
Executive
Order
13175,
requires
EPA
to
develop
an
accountable
process
to
ensure
``
meaningful
and
timely
input
by
tribal
officials
in
the
development
of
regulatory
policies
that
have
tribal
implications.''
``
Policies
that
have
tribal
implications''
is
defined
in
the
Executive
Order
to
include
regulations
that
have
``
substantial
direct
effects
on
one
or
more
Indian
tribes,
on
the
relationship
between
the
Federal
Government
and
the
Indian
tribes,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
between
the
Federal
Government
and
Indian
tribes.''
This
rule
will
not
have
substantial
direct
effects
on
tribal
governments,
on
the
relationship
between
the
Federal
Government
and
Indian
tribes,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
between
the
Federal
Government
and
Indian
tribes,
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13175.
Thus,
Executive
Order
13175
does
not
apply
to
this
rule.

as
added
by
the
Small

generally
provides
that
before
a
rule
may
take
effect,
the
agency
promulgating
the
rule
must
submit
a
rule
report,
which
includes
a
copy
of
the
rule,
to
each
House
of
the
Congress
and
to
the
Comptroller
General
of
the
United

and
the
Comptroller
General
of
the
United
States
prior
to
publication
of
this
final
rule
in
the

This
final
rule
is
not
a

804(

SUMMARY:
The
Federal
Communications
Commission
published
a
document
in
the
Federal
Register
on
June
20,
2002,
(
67
FR
41847),
revising
the
Quiet
Zone
procedures
for
operation
near
GOES
stations.
The
publication
incorrectly
indicated
that
the
GOES
procedures
were
contained
in
§
1.924(
f)
and,
therefore,
inadvertently
removed
the
Quiet
Zone
procedures
for
operation
in
the
420
 
450
MHz
band.
This
document
corrects
the
Quiet
Zone
procedures
by
re­
inserting
the
procedures
for
operation
in
420
 
450
MHz
band
into
§
1.924(
f)
and
lists
the
updated
procedures
for
operation
near
GOES
stations
into
§
1.924(
g).
DATES:
Effective
November
29,
2002.

SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
In
the
FR
Doc.
02
 
15373
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
June
20,
2002,
(
67
FR
41847)
the
Commission
updated
the
Quiet
Zone
procedures
for
operation
near
GOES
stations.
The
document
incorrectly
indicated
that
the
GOES
procedures
were
contained
in
§
1.924(
f).
The
GOES
procedures
are
supposed
to
be
listed
in
§
1.924(
g).
The
Quiet
Zone
procedures
listed
in
§
1.924(
f)
are
intended
for
operation
in
the
420
 
450
MHz
band.
Therefore,
the
Federal
Register
publication
inadvertently
deleted
the
Quiet
Zone
procedures
for
operation
in
the
420
 
450
MHz
band.
The
Quiet
Zone
procedures
for
operations
near
GOES
stations
are
intended
to
apply
only
to
operation
in
the
1670
 
1675
MHz
band.
Therefore,
the
Quiet
Zone
procedures
for
operation
in
the
420
 
450
MHz
band
should
be
re­
inserted
into
§
1.924(
f)
