Chronic Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Results and
Characterization

HED conducted a somewhat refined chronic dietary and drinking water
exposure assessment for all existing and proposed new food uses of
metalaxyl/mefenoxam and drinking water.  In this assessment, it was
assumed that residues were present at tolerance levels in plant
commodities for both direct use tolerances for metalaxyl/mefenoxam and
indirect or inadvertent tolerances for metalaxyl.  Additional factors
were applied to certain plant commodities to address concerns regarding
the adequacy of the residue analytical method to determine
metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in plant and animal commodities.
 This concern was raised during the review of method validation data
required for reregistration which were submitted with the previous
petition.  Data from metabolism studies on goats and hens were used to
estimate conservative levels of metalaxyl/mefenoxam in livestock
commodities.  Processing data were used when available and DEEM default
processing factors were used when processing data were not available. 
Estimated average % crop (% CT) treated data for mefenoxam was used when
available.  The 1 in 10 year annual estimated surface water
concentration from the Tier II Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure
Analysis Modeling System (PRZM-EXAMS) was used to assess contributions
from drinking water.  

Results of the chronic dietary assessment indicate that the general U.S.
population and all other population subgroups have exposure and risk
estimates below HED’s level of concern.  The DEEM chronic dietary
exposure estimate is 26% of the chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD)
for the general U.S. population, and 58% of the cPAD for the highest
exposed population subgroup, children 1-2 years of age.   

I.	Introduction

Dietary risk assessment incorporates both exposure and toxicity of a
given pesticide.  For acute and chronic assessments, the risk is
expressed as a percentage of a maximum acceptable dose (i.e., the dose
which HED has concluded will result in no unreasonable adverse health
effects).  This dose is referred to as the population adjusted dose
(PAD).  The PAD is equivalent to point of departure (POD, NOAEL, LOAEL,
e.g.) divided by the required uncertainty or safety factors.

For acute and non-cancer chronic exposures, HED is concerned when
estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  HED is generally
concerned when estimated cancer risk exceeds one in one million.
References which discuss the acute and chronic risk assessments in more
detail are available on the EPA/pesticides web site:  “Available
Information on Assessing Exposure from Pesticides, A User’s Guide,”
21-JUN-2000, web link:      HYPERLINK
"http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf" 
http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf  ; or see
SOP 99.6 (20-AUG-1999).

The most recent dietary risk assessment for mefenoxam/metalaxyl was
conducted by Becky Daiss (19-APR-2007, DP#363209).  Most of that review
is repeated verbatim, except for the necessary changes required by the
currently proposed uses.

II.	Residue Information

Residues of Concern  

The nature of the residue in plants and livestock is adequately
understood for metalaxyl and mefenoxam, an enriched isomer of metalaxyl,
based on metalaxyl metabolism studies.  Metabolites can be separated
into four classes:  (i) those containing a 2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA)
moiety; (ii) those containing a 2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylaniline (HMMA)
moiety; (iii) those containing a ring hydroxylated dimethylaniline
(Ring-OH) moiety; and (iv) those containing a benzoic acid moiety.  The
HED Risk Assessment Review Committee (RARC) has concluded that the
metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in plant and livestock
commodities for dietary assessments are metalaxyl/mefenoxam per se, its
metabolites containing the 2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) moiety, its
metabolites containing the 2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylaniline (HMMA)
moiety, its metabolites containing the ring hydroxylated dimethylaniline
(Ring-OH) moiety, and its metabolites containing the benzoic acid
moiety.  Essentially, the Committee has determined that all residues
identified in plant and livestock commodities from the available
metabolism studies are of concern since none can be excluded for
toxicological reasons (DP#333767, B. Cropp-Kohlligian, 3/7/07).

Sufficient acceptable bridging data were submitted to verify that the
environmental fate of mefenoxam is similar to metalaxyl.  Therefore,
based on the limited bridging data submitted (soil photolysis, aerobic
soil metabolism, batch equilibrium, and soil column leaching studies),
EFED concluded that environmental fate studies for metalaxyl, including
the studies reviewed for mefenoxam, can be used to predict the
environmental fate of mefenoxam (DP#324495, J. Hetrick, 2/22/07).

Tolerances

Tolerances for residues of metalaxyl are established under 40 CFR
§180.408 for the combined residues of metalaxyl, its metabolites
containing the 2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) moiety, and
N-(2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(methoxyacetyl)alanine methyl ester
(CGA-94689, one of the metabolites which contains the
2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylaniline (HMMA) moiety), each expressed as
metalaxyl equivalents.  The established tolerances for plant
commodities, under 40 CFR §180.408(a), range from 0.1 ppm to 25 ppm. 
Tolerances have also be established for livestock commodities:  0.05 ppm
for eggs, 0.02 ppm for milk, 0.05 ppm for meat and meat byproducts
(except kidney and liver) of cattle, goat, hog, horse, poultry, and
sheep, and 0.4 ppm for kidney, liver, and fat of cattle, goat, hog,
horse, poultry, and sheep.  In addition, a tolerance with regional
registration has been established under 180.408(c) for papaya at 0.1
ppm, and tolerances for indirect or inadvertent residues of metalaxyl
are established under 40 CFR §180.408(d) for rotational barley, cereal
grain, oat, and wheat commodities ranging from 0.2 ppm (grain) to 2.0
ppm (forage and straw of some grains).

Tolerances for residues of mefenoxam are established under 40 CFR
§180.546(a) for the combined residues of (R)- and
(S)-2-[(2,6-dimethyl(phenyl)-methoxyacetylamino]-propionic acid methyl
ester, its metabolites containing the 2,6 dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA)
moiety, and N-(2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(methoxyacetyl)alanine
methyl ester (CGA-94689, one of the metabolites which contains the HMMA
moiety), each expressed as mefenoxam equivalents, in/on globe artichoke
at 0.05 ppm; kiwifruit at 0.10 ppm; atemoya, custard apple, star fruit,
and sugar apple at 0.20 ppm; canistel, mango, papaya, sapodilla, black
sapote, mamey sapote, and star apple at 0.40 ppm; lingonberry at 2.0
ppm; fresh herbs at 8.0 ppm; and dried herbs at 55 ppm.

The Metalaxyl RED was published in September, 1994.  Tolerances were
considered reassessed in connection with a subsequent mefenoxam
tolerance petition.   

Residue Data used for Chronic Assessment 

A somewhat refined chronic dietary exposure assessment was conducted for
all existing and proposed new food uses of metalaxyl/mefenoxam and
drinking water.  It was assumed that residues were present at tolerance
levels in plant commodities.  The assessment included both direct use
tolerances for metalaxyl/mefenoxam and indirect or inadvertent
tolerances for metalaxyl.  In addition, given concerns regarding the
adequacy of the residue analytical method to determine
metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in plant and animal commodities,
additional factors were applied, as appropriate, based on available
residue chemistry data, to estimate total residues of concern for
dietary risk assessment.  HED used data from metabolism studies on goats
and hens to estimate conservative levels of metalaxyl/mefenoxam in
livestock commodities for upper bound dietary risk assessment purposes. 

Following is a summary of the residues used in the dietary assessment
for plant and animal commodities.  A more detailed discussion is
provided in Appendix 1.

Plant Commodities

Current/reassessed tolerance levels in plant commodities are expected to
be adequate to estimate the combined residues of metalaxyl/mefenoxam and
its metabolites containing the 2,6-DMA moiety in the chronic dietary
risk assessment.  Available plant (primary and rotational crop)
metabolism data reflecting foliar treatments of metalaxyl have been used
to estimate factors relative to the combined residues of
metalaxyl/mefenoxam and its metabolites containing the
2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) moiety, in order to estimate the total
residues of concern.  

Factors are estimated as follows:

For leafy commodities, a factor of 4x should be applied to the
current/reassessed tolerance levels used in the chronic dietary risk
assessment to account for all residues of concern.

For fruit and vegetable commodities, no additional factor needs to be
applied to the current/reassessed tolerance levels used in the chronic
dietary risk assessment to account for all residues of concern.

For grain, seed (including dried beans), and nut commodities, a factor
of 25x should be applied to the current/reassessed tolerance levels used
in the chronic dietary risk assessment to account for all residues of
concern – with the exception of flour cereal grains as noted below.

For snap bean (succulent), a factor of 1.8x should be applied to the
tolerance level in the chronic dietary risk assessment to account for
all residues of concern.

For caneberries, a factor of 1.3x should be applied to the tolerance
level in the chronic dietary risk assessment to account for all residues
of concern. 

	[For snap bean (succulent) and caneberries, the factors used were
determined by ChemSAC (refer to the minutes of the 2/25/09 meeting); the
factors are based on the ratio of combined residues of
mefenoxam/metalaxyl and metabolites convertible to 2,6-DMA to residues
of mefenoxam per se.   See Appendix Table 2 for a more detailed
explanation of the other factors.]

Flour of Cereal Grains

Taken as a whole, available data suggest that, on average and for the
purposes of estimating residue levels in the chronic dietary risk
assessments, total metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in wheat
flour are not expected to be significantly higher than those estimated
in/on wheat grain.  This finding may be translated to other cereal
grains. [See Appendix 1 for a more detailed explanation.]

Livestock Commodities

Since there are no livestock feedstuffs associated with the proposed
uses on bulb vegetables, spinach, snap beans, caneberries, and
bushberries, livestock dietary burdens have not been reassessed for this
petition.  Livestock dietary burdens were calculated for the previous
petition (DP#363209, B. Daiss, 4/19/07; refer to Tables 3 and 4 in
Appendix 1).

Processing Factors

Default processing factors were generally used except for those cases in
which the tolerances were specifically established for processed
commodities (i.e., dried apricot, and processed potato and tomato
commodities).  Additionally, a 1x processing factor for fruit juices was
used based on available metalaxyl grape juice metabolism data and
supporting data on metalaxyl apple, orange, and metalaxyl/mefenoxam
grape processing.  These data indicate that total metalaxyl/mefenoxam
residues of concern in fruit juices are not expected to exceed those
estimated in/on the associated fruits.  

  Drinking Water Data

The drinking water residues used in the dietary risk assessment were
provided by the Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED) in the
following memorandum: Drinking Water Assessment for Mefenoxam
(Metalaxyl-M) for Snap Beans, Caneberries (crop group 13-07A), Spinach,
Bushberries (crop group 13-07B), Bulb Onions (subgroup 3-07A), Green
Onions (subgroup 3-07B) (DP#376655, B. Anderson, 04/20/10) and
incorporated directly into this dietary assessment.  Water residues were
incorporated in the DEEM-FCID into the food categories “water, direct,
all sources” and “water, indirect, all sources.”  

Results from this assessment did not exceed residue levels in drinking
water which were determined in the previous assessment (DP#324495, J.
Hetrick, 2/22/07).                                                      
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
                                                                        
          

The drinking water exposure assessment for
(R)2-[2,6-dimethylphenyl)-methoxyacetylamino]-propionic acid methyl
ester (mefenoxam) was conducted using registrant submitted data for
(R,S)2-[2,6-dimethylphenyl)-methoxyacetylamino]-propionic acid methyl
ester (metalaxyl) and mefenoxam. 

xpected to exceed 108.9 μg/L for the 1-in-10 year daily peak
concentration, 36.7 μg/L for the 1-in-10 year annual concentration, and
25.9 μg/L for the 30-year annual average concentration. 
Metalaxyl/mefenoxam residue concentrations from Tier I groundwater
modeling are not expected to exceed 1.72 μg/L.  However, the maximum
metalaxyl concentration in registrant-sponsored ground water monitoring
studies was 3.0 μg/L.  The 1-in-10 year annual estimated surface water
concentration of 36.7 μg/L from the PRZM-EXAMS model was used to assess
contributions from drinking water for the chronic dietary assessment.

IV.	DEEM-FCID™ Program and Consumption Information

Mefenoxam/metalaxyl acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments were
conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with the
Food Commodity Intake Database DEEM-FCID™, Version 2.03 which
incorporates consumption data from USDA’s Continuing Surveys of Food
Intakes by Individuals (CSFII), 1994-1996 and 1998.  The 1994-96, 98
data are based on the reported consumption of more than 20,000
individuals over two non-consecutive survey days.  Foods “as
consumed” (e.g., apple pie) are linked to EPA-defined food commodities
(e.g. apples, peeled fruit - cooked; fresh or N/S; baked; or wheat flour
- cooked; fresh or N/S, baked) using publicly available recipe
translation files developed jointly by USDA/ARS and EPA.  For chronic
exposure assessment, consumption data are averaged for the entire U.S.
population and within population subgroups, but for acute exposure
assessment are retained as individual consumption events.  Based on
analysis of the 1994-96, 98 CSFII consumption data, which took into
account dietary patterns and survey respondents, HED concluded that it
is most appropriate to report risk for the following population
subgroups: the general U.S. population, all infants (<1 year old),
children 1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, adults 20-49,
females 13-49, and adults 50+ years old.

For chronic dietary exposure assessment, an estimate of the residue
level in each food or food-form (e.g., orange or orange juice) on the
food commodity residue list is multiplied by the average daily
consumption estimate for that food/food form to produce a residue intake
estimate.  The resulting residue intake estimate for each food/food form
is summed with the residue intake estimates for all other food/food
forms on the commodity residue list to arrive at the total average
estimated exposure.  Exposure is expressed in mg/kg body weight/day and
as a percent of the cPAD.  This procedure is performed for each
population subgroup.

For acute exposure assessments, individual one-day food consumption data
are used on an individual-by-individual basis.  The reported consumption
amounts of each food item can be multiplied by a residue point estimate
and summed to obtain a total daily pesticide exposure for a
deterministic exposure assessment, or “matched” in multiple random
pairings with residue values and then summed in a probabilistic
assessment.  The resulting distribution of exposures is expressed as a
percentage of the aPAD on both a user (i.e., only those who reported
eating relevant commodities/food forms) and a per-capita (i.e., those
who reported eating the relevant commodities as well as those who did
not) basis.  In accordance with HED policy, per capita exposure and risk
are reported for all tiers of analysis.  However, for tiers 1 and 2, any
significant differences in user vs. per capita exposure and risk are
specifically identified and noted in the risk assessment.

V.	Toxicological Information

The risk assessment team selected endpoints or confirmed endpoints that
were selected previously.  

On April 11, 2000, the HED's Hazard Identification Assessment Review
Committee (HIARC) established Reference Doses (RfD) and selected the
toxicological endpoints for metalaxyl/mefenoxam dietary exposure risk
assessments.  Summaries of toxicity endpoints appear in Table 3.

The HED FQPA Safety Factor Committee met on October 23, 2000, and
concluded that the FQPA safety factor could be removed (1x) because:

·	There is no indication of quantitative or qualitative increased
susceptibility of rats or rabbits to in utero and/or postnatal exposure;

·	A developmental neurotoxicity study is not required at this time; and

·	The dietary (food and drinking water) and non-dietary exposure
assessments will not underestimate the potential exposures for infants
and children.

VI.	Results/Discussion 

As stated above, for acute and chronic assessments, HED is concerned
when dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  The DEEM-FCID™ analyses
estimate the dietary exposure of the U.S. population and various
population subgroups.  The results reported in Table 4 are for the
general U.S. Population, all infants (<1 year old), children 1-2,
children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, females 13-49, adults 20-49,
and adults 50+ years.  Cancer risk is determined for the general U.S.
population only.

Results of Chronic Dietary (Food and Drinking Water) Exposure Analysis

The results of the chronic dietary exposure analysis are reported in the
summary table below.  The results indicate that the general U.S.
population and all other population subgroups have exposure and risk
estimates below HED’s level of concern.  The DEEM chronic dietary
exposure estimate is 26% of the cPAD for the general U.S. population,
and 58% of the cPAD for the highest exposed population subgroup,
children 1-2 years of age.

VII.	Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

Residue Issues

Given concerns regarding the adequacy of the residue analytical methods
to determine metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in plant and animal
commodities, the HED  RARC has approved the use of factors, as
appropriate, derived from available residue chemistry data, to estimate
total metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern for dietary risk
assessments.  A detailed discussion of concerns regarding the analytical
method and of the factors applied to assess to total residues of concern
is provided in Appendix 1.

Level of Refinement

A somewhat refined chronic dietary exposure assessment was conducted for
all existing and proposed new food uses of metalaxyl/mefenoxam and
drinking water.  Tolerance level residues were assumed for plant
commodities.  The assessment included both direct use tolerances for
metalaxyl/mefenoxam and indirect or inadvertent tolerances for
metalaxyl.  In addition, given concerns regarding the adequacy of the
residue analytical method to determine metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of
concern in plant and animal commodities, additional factors were
applied, as appropriate, based on available residue chemistry data, to
estimate total residues of concern for dietary risk assessment.  Data
from metabolism studies on goats and hens were used to estimate
conservative levels of metalaxyl/mefenoxam in livestock commodities. 
Processing data for cereal grain flour and fruit juice were also used in
the assessment.  Estimated average % CT data for mefenoxam was used when
available.  

Processing Factors

Default processing factors were generally used except for those cases in
which the tolerances were specifically established for processed
commodities (i.e., dried apricot, and processed potato and tomato
commodities).  Additionally, a 1x processing factor for fruit juices was
used based on available metalaxyl grape juice metabolism data and
supporting date on metalaxyl apple, orange, and metalaxyl/mefenoxam
grape processing.  These data indicate that total metalaxyl/mefenoxam
residues of concern in fruit juices are not expected to exceed those
estimated in/on the associated fruits.  

Adequacy of %CT data

Screening level usage analysis (SLUA) data for mefenoxam provided by the
Biological and Economic Analysis Division (BEAD) was used for this
analysis.  Estimated average percent crop treated data for mefenoxam was
used when available.  (As shown in Attachment 1, Table A.1, where data
for metalaxyl are available, the values for mefenoxam were always higher
and were therefore used.)  Where no percent crop treated data were
available, the chronic analysis assumed 100% CT.  SLUA data is adequate
for this analysis. 

Additional Information for Risk Managers

Percent crop treated information for inadvertent residues for rotational
grain commodities would help refine the analysis.  

VIII.	Conclusions

A somewhat refined chronic dietary exposure assessment was conducted for
all existing and proposed new food uses of metalaxyl/mefenoxam and
drinking water.  The assessment assumed that residues were present at
tolerance levels in plant commodities for both direct use tolerances for
metalaxyl/mefenoxam and indirect or inadvertent tolerances for
metalaxyl.  Additional factors were applied to certain plant commodities
to address concerns regarding the adequacy of the residue analytical
method.  Results of the chronic dietary assessment indicate that the
general U.S. population and all other population subgroups have exposure
and risk estimates below HED’s level of concern.  The DEEM chronic
dietary exposure estimate is 26% of the cPAD for the general U.S.
population, and 58% of the cPAD for the highest exposed population
subgroup, children 1-2 years of age.

Given concerns regarding the adequacy of the residue analytical methods
to determine metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in plant and animal
commodities, the HED Risk Assessment Review Committee (RARC) has
approved the use of factors, as appropriate, derived from available
residue chemistry data, to estimate total metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues
of concern for dietary risk assessments.

Furthermore, the HED RARC has concluded that the metalaxyl/mefenoxam
residues of concern in plant and livestock commodities for dietary
assessments are metalaxyl/mefenoxam per se, its metabolites containing
the 2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) moiety, its metabolites containing the
2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylaniline (HMMA) moiety, its metabolites
containing the ring hydroxylated dimethylaniline (Ring-OH) moiety, and
its metabolites containing the benzoic acid moiety.  Essentially, the
Committee has determined that all residues identified in plant and
livestock commodities from the available metabolism studies are of
concern since none can be excluded for toxicological reasons.

Recently HED has determined, after re-evaluation of the available
radiovalidation and method validation data, that the common moiety
residue analytical methods used to collect magnitude of the residue data
for the purposes of setting tolerance levels will not adequately recover
all of the metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern.  While these methods
are adequate to recover residues of metalaxyl/mefenoxam per se, they are
not likely to recover metalaxyl/mefenoxam metabolites containing the
Ring-OH moiety or the benzoic acid moiety and available radiovalidation
and method validation data indicate that the methods will not adequately
recover metabolites containing the HMMA moiety and may not adequately
recover all metabolites containing the 2,6-DMA moiety with the certainty
needed to set legal limits.  However, for the purposes of estimating the
combined residues of metalaxyl/mefenoxam and its metabolites containing
the 2,6-DMA moiety in/on plant and livestock commodities in chronic
dietary risk assessments, these common moiety methods are deemed
adequate for data collection and therefore, current/reassessed tolerance
levels are adequate to account for these residues in the risk analysis.

Plant Commodities

Current/reassessed tolerance levels in plant commodities are expected to
be adequate to estimate the combined residues of metalaxyl/mefenoxam and
its metabolites containing the 2,6-DMA moiety in the chronic dietary
risk assessments.  Available plant (primary and rotational crop)
metabolism data reflecting foliar treatments of metalaxyl have been used
to estimate factors relative to the combined residues of
metalaxyl/mefenoxam and its metabolites containing the
2,6-dimethylaniline (2,6-DMA) moiety, in order to estimate the total
residues of concern.  See Appendix Table 2 below for a summary of the
plant metabolism data used to estimate the factors.  

Factors are estimated as follows:

For leafy commodities, a factor of 4x should be applied to the
current/reassessed tolerance levels used in the chronic dietary risk
assessment to account for all residues of concern.

For fruit and vegetable commodities, no additional factor needs to be
applied to the current/reassessed tolerance levels used in the chronic
dietary risk assessment to account for all residues of concern.

For grain, seed (including dried beans), and nut commodities, a factor
of 25x should be applied to the current/reassessed tolerance levels used
in the chronic dietary risk assessment to account for all residues of
concern.

For snap bean (succulent), a factor of 1.8x should be applied to the
tolerance level in the chronic dietary risk assessment to account for
all residues of concern (ChemSAC minutes of the 2/25/09 meeting).

For caneberries, a factor of 1.3x should be applied to the tolerance
level in the chronic dietary risk assessment to account for all residues
of concern (ChemSAC minutes of the 2/25/09 meeting).

Total residues of concern from indirect or inadvertent exposure to
metalaxyl/mefenoxam for rotational crop commodities listed under 40 CFR
180.408(d) should also include the factors recommended above.

Seed Treatments

In cases, where direct uses of metalaxyl/mefenoxam are limited to seed
treatments only, total residues of concern are not expected to exceed
0.1 ppm based on available plant metabolism data reflecting seed
treatments of metalaxyl on ten different crops.  According to the use
information provided in the Metalaxyl Reregistration Eligibility
Decision (RED) Document (September, 1994) and OPPIN (03/01/2007), among
the direct uses of metalaxyl/mefenoxam limited to seed treatments only
are barley, corn (all types), oats, rye, sorghum, sunflower, and wheat. 
[Note:  This is not intended as a comprehensive list of direct seed
treatment uses of metalaxyl/mefenoxam.]  Hence the total residues of
concern from direct uses of metalaxyl/mefenoxam in/on barley, corn (all
types), oats, rye, sorghum, sunflower, and wheat are estimated at 0.1
ppm, consistent with tolerance levels listed for these commodities under
40 CFR 180.408(a).

Flour of Cereal Grains

See also:  MRID 00114376

Indirect/inadvertent tolerances are currently established for residues
of metalaxyl in/on wheat grain and wheat milling fractions (40.CFR
180.408(d)) at 0.2 ppm and 1.0 ppm, respectively.  The registrant has
previously submitted metalaxyl wheat processing data (MRID 00114376; PP#
2F2764) which were the basis for setting these tolerances.  In brief,
winter wheat grain samples treated with metalaxyl and collected from
field trial tests conducted in MO and KY as part of a wheat field
rotational crop study were processed into flour, bran, shorts/germ, and
red dog flour (a low-grade flour used mainly for animal feed).  Samples
were analyzed using Method I in PAM Vol. II (AG-348) which determines
residues of metalaxyl which are convertible to 2,6-DMA using GLC/AFID. 
The subject wheat grain and flour data are presented below in Appendix
Table 1.  The estimated concentration factors for wheat flour varied
widely, ranging from <0.6x to 3.2x.  Concentration factors above 1.4x
(i.e., the higher concentration factors 3.2x and 2.5x) may be more
unreliable due to estimating residues in grain samples at levels below
the method’s limit of quantitation (0.05 ppm).  Also, the higher
concentration factors are not consistent with the theoretical
concentration factor for wheat flour which is estimated at 1.4x (OPPTS
Guideline 860.1520 Processed Food/Feed) and based on separation of
components.  Taken as a whole, available data suggest that, on average
and for the purposes of estimating residue levels in the chronic dietary
risk assessments, total metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in wheat
flour are not expected to be significantly higher than those estimated
in/on wheat grain.  This finding may be translated to other cereal
grains.

Fruit Juices

See also:  	PP#6F3362/FAP#6H5493  Metalaxyl and Mancozeb on Grapes (DEB
No. 5557 and 		5558)  Evaluation of Amendment Dated June 23, 1989 (MRID
41150101), G. 			Otakie, 12/11/89.

	

		45613901.der.doc

The available grape juice metabolism data (see Appendix Table 2)
indicate that the combined residues of parent and DMA metabolites
constitute slightly less of the TRR identified (55%) but the TRR found
in juice (1.04 ppm) is much less than the TRR found in grapes (3.06
ppm).  Based on these data, no additional factor (including a processing
factor) is needed to estimate metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in
fruit juice.  This conclusion is supported by   SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1
processing studies which have been conducted for metalaxyl on apples
(MRID 00126315; reviewed in the Metalaxyl FRSTR, 9/88), oranges (MRID
00117969; reviewed in the Metalaxyl FRSTR, 9/88), and grapes (MRID
41150101; reviewed in memo by G. Otakie dated 12/11/89, as well as
mefenoxam on grapes (45613901.der.doc) which also demonstrate that
residues of metalaxyl/mefenoxam convertible to 2,6-DMA do not
concentrate in apple, orange, and grape juice samples.  Based on the
available metalaxyl grape juice metabolism data and supported by
available metalaxyl apple, orange, and metalaxyl/mefenoxam grape
processing data, total metalaxyl/mefenoxam residues of concern in fruit
juices are not expected to exceed those estimated in/on the associated
fruits; default concentration factors for fruit juices in the chronic
dietary risk assessments should be reduced to 1x.

Livestock Commodities

Reasonably balanced livestock diets reflecting direct uses of
metalaxyl/mefenoxam were calculated for the express purpose of
estimating meat, milk, poultry, and egg residue estimates for the
chronic dietary risk assessment after consultation with HED staff
designated by the HED Chemistry Science Advisory Committee (ChemSAC) as
having expertise in livestock feeding practices (J. Stokes, HED).
Deviations from the percent of livestock diet specified in the current
Table 1 (OPPTS Guideline 860.1000; August 1996) were recommended and
have been incorporated into the calculations.  Calculations are based on
the information provided in the DRAFT guidance from the HED Chemistry
Science Advisory Council (ChemSAC) dated October/2006 and entitled,
“Revisions of Feedstuff Percentages in Table 1 of Guideline 860.1000
and Guidance on Constructing Reasonably Balanced Livestock Diets”.  

Note:  More conservative reasonably balanced diets which incorporate
more esoteric feedstuffs and the potential for indirect/inadvertent
residues in/on feedstuffs might be needed for the purpose of setting
appropriate tolerance levels in meat, milk, poultry, and egg
commodities.

A reasonably balanced diet (RBD) for mature lactating cows of 40%
roughage, 15% protein concentrate, and 45% carbohydrate concentrate from
alfalfa hay, soybean meal, and field corn grain treated with
metalaxyl/mefenoxam is estimated at 44 ppm.  A RBD for finishing or
feedlot beef of 20% roughage, 10% protein concentrate, and 70%
carbohydrate concentrate from alfalfa hay, soybean meal, and field corn
grain treated with metalaxyl/mefenoxam is estimated at 23 ppm.  RBDs for
finishing or marketable hogs and laying hens of 20% protein concentrate
and 80% carbohydrate concentrate from soybean meal, and field corn grain
treated with metalaxyl/mefenoxam are estimated at 10 ppm.  See Appendix
Table 3 below.

While current/reassessed tolerance levels in livestock commodities are
expected to be adequate to estimate the combined residues of
metalaxyl/mefenoxam and its metabolites containing the 2,6-DMA moiety in
the chronic dietary risk assessments, available livestock metabolism
data are not useful for estimating factors to estimate the total
residues of concern in livestock commodities as was the case for plant
commodities.  Hence, estimates for the total residues of concern in
livestock commodities are estimated from the total radioactive residues
(TRR) found in livestock commodities from the available goat and hen
metabolism data.  See Appendix Table 4 below for a summary of the
livestock data used to estimate the total residues of concern.

Based on the available goat metabolism data, total residues of concern
in milk reflecting a reasonably balanced diet for mature lactating cows
of 40% roughage, 15% protein concentrate, and 45% carbohydrate
concentrate are not expected to exceed 0.05 ppm.  Total residues of
concern in ruminant liver, kidney, meat, and fat reflecting a reasonably
balanced diet for finishing or feedlot beef of 20% roughage, 10% protein
concentrate, and 70% carbohydrate concentrate are not expected to exceed
0.58 ppm, 0.70 ppm, 0.04 ppm, and 0.12 ppm, respectively.  Estimates for
ruminant commodities may be translated to swine commodities since the
dietary burden estimate for swine is less than that for ruminants.

Based on the available hen metabolism data, total residues of concern in
poultry egg, liver, meat, and fat reflecting a reasonably balanced diet
for laying hens of 80% carbohydrate concentrate and 20% protein
concentrate are not expected to exceed 0.04 ppm, 0.14 ppm, 0.07 ppm, and
0.03 ppm, respectively.

Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)

Date: April 7, 2009 

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?

Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active
ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.

Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then
merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not
proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret. 

What does it contain?

Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.

Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used
on. 

Available pesticide usage information from U.S. states that produce 80%
or more of a crop, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases,
depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.

Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural
crop.

Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural
crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).

What assumptions can I make about the reported data?

Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by
merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all
observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than
500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 &
<1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of
1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)

Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data
sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, &
rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is
less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.

Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value
reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the
nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5,
then the value is labeled <2.5.

What are the data sources used?

USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service) – pesticide usage data from 2001 to
2007.

Private pesticide market research – pesticide usage data from 2001 to
2007.

NPUD 2002 (National Pesticide Use Database) pesticide usage data from
NPUD 02 of the CropLife Foundation are used only if data are not
available from the other sources.

California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use
Reporting (PUR) data for 2000 to 2005 when 95% or more of a crop is
grown California.

What are the limitations to the data?

Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the
available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).

Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply
zero usage.

Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not
quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the
SLUA.

Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control,
etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to
receive these estimates.

Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This
usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to
Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection
errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

MEFENOXAM (113502)

Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)

Date: May 5, 2009 

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?

Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active
ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.

Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then
merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not
proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret. 

What does it contain?

Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.

Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used
on. 

Available pesticide usage information from U.S. states that produce 80%
or more of a crop, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases,
depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.

Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural
crop.

Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural
crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).

What assumptions can I make about the reported data?

Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by
merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all
observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than
500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 &
<1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of
1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)

Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data
sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, &
rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is
less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.

Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value
reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the
nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5,
then the value is labeled <2.5.

What are the data sources used?

USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service) – pesticide usage data from 2001 to
2007.

Private pesticide market research – pesticide usage data from 2001 to
2007.

NPUD 2002 (National Pesticide Use Database) pesticide usage data from
NPUD 02 of the CropLife Foundation are used only if data are not
available from the other sources.

California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use
Reporting (PUR) data for 2000 to 2005 when 95% or more of a crop is
grown California.

What are the limitations to the data?

Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the
available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).

Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply
zero usage.

Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not
quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the
SLUA.

Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control,
etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to
receive these estimates.

Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This
usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to
Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection
errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).
