II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    In the Federal Register of May 2, 2007 (72 FR 24198) (FRL-8120-3), 
EPA issued a proposal to revoke, remove, modify, and establish certain 
specific tolerances for residues of the fungicides chloroneb and 
thiabendazole; the herbicides oxyfluorfen, sulfosate, and tebuthiuron; 
the defoliants thidiazuron and tribuphos; the insecticides 
cypermethrin, methidathion, and pirimiphos-methyl; and the soil 
microbiocide nitrapyrin. Also, the proposal of May 2, 2007 (72 FR 
24198) provided a 60-day comment period which invited public comment 
for consideration and for support of tolerance retention under the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) standards.
    In this final rule, EPA is revoking, removing, modifying, and 
establishing specific tolerances for residues of chloroneb, 
cypermethrin, methidathion, nitrapyrin, oxyfluorfen, pirimiphos-methyl, 
sulfosate, tebuthiuron, thiabendazole, thidiazuron, and tribuphos in or 
on commodities listed in the regulatory text of this document.
    EPA is finalizing these tolerance actions in order to implement the 
tolerance recommendations made during the reregistration and tolerance 
reassessment processes (including follow-up on canceled or additional 
uses of pesticides). As part of these processes, EPA is required to 
determine whether each of the amended tolerances meets the safety 
standard of the FFDCA. The safety finding determination of ``reasonable 
certainty of no harm'' is discussed in detail in each Reregistration 
Eligibility Decision (RED) and Report of the Food Quality Protection 
Act (FQPA) Tolerance Reassessment Progress and Risk Management Decision 
(TRED) for the active ingredient. REDs and TREDs recommend the 
implementation of certain tolerance actions, including modifications, 
to reflect current use patterns, to meet safety findings and change 
commodity names and groupings in accordance with new EPA policy. 
Printed copies of many REDs and TREDs may be obtained from EPA's 
National Service Center for Environmental Publications (EPA/NSCEP), 
P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, OH 45242-2419, telephone number: 1-800-490-
9198; fax: 1-513-489-8695; Internet at http://www.epa.gov/ncepihom and 

from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal 
Road, Springfield, VA 22161, telephone number: 1-800-553-6847 or (703) 
605-6000; Internet at http://www.ntis.gov Electronic copies of REDs and TREDs are available on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. 

and http:// www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/status.htm.

    In this final rule, EPA is revoking certain tolerances because 
either they are no longer needed or are associated with food uses that 
are no longer registered under FIFRA in the United States. Those 
instances where registrations were canceled were because the registrant 
failed to pay the required maintenance fee and/or the registrant 
voluntarily requested cancellation of one or more registered uses of 
the pesticide active ingredient. The tolerances revoked by this final 
rule are no longer necessary to cover residues of the relevant 
pesticides in or on domestically treated commodities or commodities 
treated outside but

[[Page 53457]]

imported into the United States. It is EPA's general practice to issue 
a final rule revoking those tolerances and tolerance exemptions for 
residues of pesticide active ingredients on crop uses for which there 
are no active registrations under FIFRA, unless any person in comments 
on the proposal indicates a need for the tolerance or tolerance 
exemption to cover residues in or on imported commodities or legally 
treated domestic commodities.
    EPA has historically been concerned that retention of tolerances 
that are not necessary to cover residues in or on legally treated foods 
may encourage misuse of pesticides within the United States.
    Generally, EPA will proceed with the revocation of these tolerances 
on the grounds discussed in Unit II.A. if one of the following 
conditions applies:
    1. Prior to EPA's issuance of a FFDCA section 408(f) order 
requesting additional data or issuance of a FFDCA section 408(d) or (e) 
order revoking the tolerances on other grounds, commenters retract the 
comment identifying a need for the tolerance to be retained.
    2. EPA independently verifies that the tolerance is no longer 
needed.
    3. The tolerance is not supported by data that demonstrate that the 
tolerance meets the requirements under FQPA.
    This final rule does not revoke those tolerances for which EPA 
received comments stating a need for the tolerance to be retained.
    In response to the proposal published in the Federal Register of 
May 2, 2007 (72 FR 24198), EPA received one comment during the 60-day 
public comment period, as follows:
    Comment by a private citizen. A private citizen stated that only 
zero tolerance levels should be acceptable. In addition, the commenter 
expressed a concern for pesticide use in general and their possible 
toxic effects on wildlife and humans.
    Agency response. The private citizen's comments did not take issue 
with any of the Agency's specific conclusions to modify, revoke, or 
establish certain tolerances. Also, the commenter did not refer to any 
specific studies which pertained to those conclusions. EPA believes 
that the tolerance actions finalized herein meet the safety standard of 
FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a. In developing REDs and TREDs, EPA 
worked with stakeholders, pesticide registrants, growers and other 
pesticide users, environmental and public health interests, the States, 
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), other Federal agencies, and 
others to develop voluntary measures or regulatory controls needed to 
effectively reduce risks of concern. Such options include voluntary 
cancellation of pesticide products or deletion of uses, declaring 
certain uses ineligible or not yet eligible, restricting use of 
products to certified applicators, limiting the amount or frequency of 
use, improving use directions and precautions, adding more protective 
clothing and equipment requirements, requiring special packaging or 
engineering controls, requiring no-treatment buffer zones, employing 
environmental and ecological safeguards, and other measures.
    The Agency did not receive any specific comments, during the 60-day 
comment period, on the following chemicals: Chloroneb, cypermethrin, 
methidathion, nitrapyrin, oxyfluorfen, pirimiphos-methyl, sulfosate, 
tebuthiuron, thiabendazole, thidiazuron, and tribuphos. Therefore, the 
Agency is finalizing the amendments proposed in the Federal Register of 
May 2, 2007 (72 FR 24198). For a detailed discussion of the Agency's 
rationale for the establishments, revocations, and modifications to the 
tolerances, refer to the proposed rule of May 2, 2007.
    In addition, the Agency is making the following revisions in this 
final rule.
     Oxyfluorfen. The Agency did not propose in a notice for 
comment to revise the tolerance nomenclature for oxyfluorfen in 40 CFR 
180.381(a) from cocoa bean, dried bean to cacao bean, dried bean, as is 
current Agency practice. However, section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 
Administrative Procedure Act provides that notice and comment is not 
necessary ``when the agency for good cause finds (and incorporates the 
finding and a brief statement of reasons therefore in the rules issued) 
that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, 
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Consequently, for 
good cause, EPA is revising the commodity terminology in 40 CFR 
180.381(a) from cocoa bean, dried bean to cacao bean, dried bean. The 
reason for taking this action is because such action has no practical 
impact on the use of or exposure to the pesticide active ingredient, 
oxyfluorfen, in or on that commodity and is made such that the 
tolerance terminology will conform to current Agency practice.
     Thiabendazole. The Agency did not propose in a notice for 
comment to revise the tolerance nomenclature for thiabendazole in 40 
CFR 180.242(a)(1) from ``sweet potato (POST-H to sweet potato intended 
only for use as seed)'' to ``sweet potato (postharvest to sweet potato 
intended only for use as seed),'' as is current Agency practice. 
However, section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act 
provides that notice and comment is not necessary ``when the agency for 
good cause finds (and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of 
reasons therefore in the rules issued) that notice and public procedure 
thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest.'' Consequently, for good cause, EPA is revising the commodity 
terminology in 40 CFR 180.242(a)(1) from ``sweet potato (POST-H to 
sweet potato intended only for use as seed)'' to ``sweet potato 
(postharvest to sweet potato intended only for use as seed).'' The 
reason for taking this action is because such action has no practical 
impact on the use of or exposure to the pesticide active ingredient, 
thiabendazole, in or on that commodity and is made such that the 
tolerance terminology will conform to current Agency practice.
    Note: Sugar beet commodities were not included in the human dietary 
risk assessment for thiabendazole because the use was not supported by 
the technical registrant. (Metabolic fate data of thiabendazole in 
sugar beets had been submitted to EPA and reviewed by the Agency as 
acceptable. Efficacy, storage, foliar use and post-harvest use data had 
also been submitted some years ago, but some of that data was 
incomplete.) Therefore, the thiabendazole RED recommended revocation of 
the tolerances on sugar beet commodities. Currently, there is an active 
end use registration for thiabendazole use on sugar beets. Since the 
thiabendazole RED, based on the estimated acute and chronic dietary 
risks of thiabendazole, which are 77% of the acute population adjusted 
dose (aPAD) and 2% of the chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD), the 
Agency determined that the addition of sugar beet commodities to the 
dietary risk assessment for thiabendazole would not significantly 
contribute to dietary or drinking water risk estimates. Consequently, 
the Agency did not propose to take action on the sugar beet tolerances 
in 40 CFR 180.242(a) on May 2, 2007 (72 FR 24198), but is in the 
process of getting the sugar beet use removed from the one remaining 
active registration and does expect to address the sugar beet 
tolerances in a future publication in the Federal Register.
     Zeta-cypermethrin. The Agency also did not propose in a 
notice for comment to revise the tolerance nomenclature for zeta-
cypermethrin in 40 CFR 180.418(a)(2) from ``food/feed items (other than 
those covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing 
crops) in food/feed handling

[[Page 53458]]

establishments'' to ``food commodities/feed commodities (other than 
those covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing 
crops) in food/feed handling establishments'' and from ``sunflower'' to 
``sunflower, seed,'' as is current Agencv practice. However, section 
553(h)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act provides that notice 
and comment is not necessary ``when the agency for good cause finds 
(and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons 
therefore in the rules issued) that notice and public procedure thereon 
are impracticable. unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' 
Consequently, for good cause, EPA is revising the commodity terminolgy 
in 40 CER 180.418(a)(2) from ``food/feed items (other than those 
covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in 
food/feed handling establishments'' to ``food commodities/feed 
commodities (other than those covered by a higher tolerance as a result 
of use on growing crops) in food/feed handling establishments'' and 
from ``sunflower'' to ``sunflower, seed.'' The reason for taking this 
action is because such action has no practical impact on the use of or 
exposure to the pesticide active ingredient, zeta-cypermethrin, in or 
on these commodities and is made such that the tolerance terminology 
will conform to current Agency practice.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    EPA may issue a regulation establishing, modifying, or revoking a 
tolerance under FFDCA section 408(e). In this final rule, EPA is 
establishing, modifying, and revoking tolerances to implement the 
tolerance recommendations made during the reregistration and tolerance 
reassessment processes, and as follow-up on canceled uses of 
pesticides. As part of these processes, EPA is required to determine 
whether each of the amended tolerances meets the safety standards under 
FFDCA. The safety finding determination is found in detail in each 
post-FQPA RED and TRED for the active ingredient. REDs and TREDs 
recommend the implementation of certain tolerance actions, including 
modifications to reflect current use patterns, to meet safety findings, 
and change commodity names and groupings in accordance with new EPA 
policy. Printed and electronic copies of the REDs and TREDs are 
available as provided in Unit II.A.
    EPA has issued post-FQPA REDs for chloroneb, cypermethrin, 
methidathion, nitrapyrin, oxyfluorfen, pirimiphos-methyl, 
thiabendazole, thidiazuron, and tribuphos, and a TRED for tebuthiuron, 
whose RED was completed prior to FQPA. A RED for sulfosate was not 
needed because it was registered after November 1, 1984, and not 
subject to reregistration eligibility, and its tolerances were 
reassessed prior to completion of a TRED, such that a TRED for 
sulfosate was no longer needed because EPA made a safety finding which 
reassessed its tolerances according to the FFDCA standard, maintaining 
them when new tolerances were established as noted in Unit II.A.). REDs 
and TREDs contain the Agency's evaluation of the data base for these 
pesticides, including statements regarding additional data on the 
active ingredients that may be needed to confirm the potential human 
health and environmental risk assessments associated with current 
product uses, and REDs state conditions under which these uses and 
products will be eligible for reregistration. The REDs and TREDs 
recommended the establishment, modification, and/or revocation of 
specific tolerances. RED and TRED recommendations such as establishing 
or modifying tolerances, and in some cases revoking tolerances, are the 
result of assessment under the FFDCA standard of ``reasonable certainty 
of no harm.'' However, tolerance revocations recommended in REDs and 
TREDs that are made final in this document do not need such assessment 
when the tolerances are no longer necessary.
    EPA's general practice is to revoke tolerances for residues of 
pesticide active ingredients on crops for which FIFRA registrations no 
longer exist and on which the pesticide may therefore no longer be used 
in the United States. EPA has historically been concerned that 
retention of tolerances that are not necessary to cover residues in or 
on legally treated foods may encourage misuse of pesticides within the 
United States. Nonetheless, EPA will establish and maintain tolerances 
even when corresponding domestic uses are canceled if the tolerances, 
which EPA refers to as ``import tolerances,'' are necessary to allow 
importation into the United States of food containing such pesticide 
residues. However, where there are no imported commodities that require 
these import tolerances, the Agency believes it is appropriate to 
revoke tolerances for unregistered pesticides in order to prevent 
potential misuse.
    When EPA establishes tolerances for pesticide residues in or on raw 
agricultural commodities, the Agency gives consideration to possible 
pesticide residues in meat, milk, poultry, and/or eggs produced by 
animals that are fed agricultural products (for example, grain or hay) 
containing pesticides residues (40 CFR 180.6). If there is no 
reasonable expectation of finite pesticide residues in or on meat, 
milk, poultry, or eggs, then tolerances do not need to be established 
for these commodities (40 CFR 180.6(b) and180.6(c)).

C. When Do These Actions Become Effective?

    With the exception of regional tolerances for methidathion on 
alfalfa forage, alfalfa hay, timothy forage, and timothy hay, which EPA 
is revoking with specific expiration/revocation dates, the Agency is 
revoking, modifying, and establishing specific tolerances, and revising 
specific commodity terminologies effective September 19, 2007. With the 
exception of the revoked four regional tolerances for methidathion, the 
Agency believes that existing stocks of pesticide products labeled for 
the uses associated with the revoked tolerances have been completely 
exhausted and that treated commodities have had sufficient time for 
passage through the channels of trade. EPA is revoking certain 
methidathion tolerances with an expiration/revocation date of March 31, 
2008, for alfalfa forage, alfalfa hay, timothy forage, and timothy hay. 
The Agency believes that, because their regional registrations expire 
on December 31, 2007, the revocation date of March 31, 2008, allows 
sufficient time for passage of treated commodities through the channels 
of trade.
    Any commodities listed in the regulatory text of this document that 
are treated with the pesticides subject to this final rule, and that 
are in the channels of trade following the tolerance revocations, shall 
be subject to FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established by the FQPA. 
Under this unit, any residues of these pesticides in or on such food 
shall not render the food adulterated so long as it is shown to the 
satisfaction of the Food and Drug Administration that:
    1. The residue is present as the result of an application or use of 
the pesticide at a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA.
    2. The residue does not exceed the level that was authorized at the 
time of the application or use to be present on the food under a 
tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. Evidence to show that food was 
lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates that the 
pesticide was applied to such food.

[[Page 53459]]

III. Are There Any International Trade Issues Raised by this Final 
Action?

    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, as required by section 408(b)(4) 
of the FFDCA. 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 in a notice published 
for public comment. EPA's effort to harmonize with Codex MRLs is 
summarized in the tolerance reassessment section of individual REDs and 
TREDs, and in the Residue Chemistry document which supports the RED and 
TRED, as mentioned in the proposed rule cited in Unit II.A. Specific 
tolerance actions in this rule and how they compare to Codex MRLs (if 
any) are discussed in Unit II.A. of the proposal.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    In this final rule EPA establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 
408(e), and also modifies and revokes specific tolerances established 
under FFDCA section 408. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
exempted these types of actions (i.e., establishment and modification 
of a tolerance and tolerance revocation for which extraordinary 
circumstances do not exist) 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 as required by 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 other 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 104-13, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 
note). Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 
et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether establishment of 
tolerances, exemptions from tolerances, raising of tolerance levels, 
expansion of exemptions, or revocations might significantly impact a 
substantial number of small entities and concluded that, as a general 
matter, these actions do not impose a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. These analyses for tolerance 
establishments and modifications, and for tolerance revocations were 
published on May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950) and on December 17, 1997 (62 FR 
66020) (FRL-5753-1), respectively, and were provided to the Chief 
Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. Taking into 
account this analysis, and available information concerning the 
pesticides listed in this rule, the Agency hereby certifies that this 
final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. In a memorandum dated May 25, 2001, EPA 
determined that eight conditions must all be satisfied in order for an 
import tolerance or tolerance exemption revocation to adversely affect 
a significant number of small entity importers, and that there is a 
negligible joint probability of all eight conditions holding 
simultaneously with respect to any particular revocation. (This Agency 
document is available in the docket, as mentioned in Unit II.A.) 
Furthermore, for the pesticides named in this final rule, the Agency 
knows of no extraordinary circumstances that exist as to the present 
revocations that would change EPA's previous analysis. 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 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.

V. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to 
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will

[[Page 53460]]

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 this final rule in 
the Federal Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as 
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
