ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0607; FRL-10022-79]

Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt; Exemption From the Requirement of a 
Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement 
of a tolerance for residues of Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], 
[alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt when used as an 
inert ingredient (colorant) in pesticide formulations applied to seed 
treatment slurries for raw agricultural commodities and not to exceed 
20% weight/weight (wt/wt). Milliken Chemical submitted a petition to 
EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) requesting 
establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This 
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level 
for residues of Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt.

DATES: This regulation is effective May 10, 2021. Objections and 
requests for hearings must be received on or before July 9, 2021, and 
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR 
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Petition for Exemption

    In the Federal Register of February 11, 2020 (85 FR 7708) (FRL-
10005-02), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 
U.S.C. 346a, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP IN-
11359) by Milliken Chemical, 920 Milliken Rd., M-209 Spartanburg, SC 
29303. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.920 be amended by 
establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for 
residues of Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt (CAS Reg. No. N/A) when used as an inert 
ingredient (colorant) in pesticide formulations applied to seed 
treatment slurries for raw agricultural commodities not to exceed 20% 
(wt/wt). That document referenced a summary of the petition prepared by 
Milliken Chemical, the petitioner, which is available in the docket, 
http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response 
to the notice of filing.

III. Inert Ingredient Definition

    Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active 
ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not 
limited to, the following types of ingredients (except when they have a 
pesticidal efficacy of their own): Solvents such as alcohols and 
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty 
acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as 
carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing 
agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents; 
and emulsifiers. The term ``inert'' is not intended to imply 
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active. 
Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a 
tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert 
ingredients.

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an 
exemption from the requirement for 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(c)(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) and (c)(2)(B) of FFDCA 
requires EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and 
children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance 
or exemption 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. . . .''
    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only 
in those cases where it can be clearly demonstrated that the risks from 
aggregate exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably 
foreseeable circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human 
health. In order to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to 
pesticide inert ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the 
inert in conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert 
ingredient through food, drinking water, and through other exposures 
that occur as a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA 
is able to determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure 
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from 
aggregate exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the 
requirement of a tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(A), and the factors 
specified in FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), 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 Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), 
[alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt including 
exposure resulting from the exemption established by this action. EPA's 
assessment of exposures and risks associated with Poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-

[[Page 24733]]

ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered their 
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. Specific information on the studies received and the nature 
of the adverse effects caused by Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], 
[alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt as well as the 
no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-
adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies are discussed in 
this unit.
    In acute studies, exposure to Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], 
[alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt resulted in no 
observable or minimal toxicity. The acute oral median lethal dose 
(LD50) in rats is >2,000 mg/kg. Minimal dermal irritation 
was observed in an acute dermal study with rabbits. No indications of 
sensitization have been observed in local lymph node assay.
    Two reverse mutation assays (OECD 471), a mouse lymphoma assay 
(OECD 476) and an in vitro micronucleus test (OECD 487) found Poly(oxy-
1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt to not be mutagenic.
    In a combined repeat dose developmental/reproduction study (OECD 
422), there were no adverse effects from oral administration of 
Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt up to 1000 mg/kg/day on any parameter 
measured, including gonadal function, mating performance, conception, 
development of the conceptus or parturition. The NOAEL for these 
parameters was 1000 mg/kg/day for males and females. The NOAEL for 
reproductive performance and fetal/developmental toxicity was also 
considered to be 1,000 mg/kg/day.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Based on available studies provided for Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), 
[alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt, no 
toxicological endpoint of concern was identified, and a quantitative 
risk assessment is not required for this compound.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary 
exposure to Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt, EPA considered exposure under the proposed 
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. EPA assessed dietary 
exposures from Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt in food as follows:
    Dietary exposure (food and drinking water) to Poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt is not expected to occur due to its intended 
use as a colorant for seed treatment. Seed treatment formulas 
containing Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt will be applied directly to seeds and if 
released into the environment, the colorant would not be taken up by 
the germinating seedling and translocated within the plant vascular 
system to result in crop residues and dietary exposures.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. Since a hazard endpoint of 
concern was not identified for the acute and chronic dietary 
assessment, a quantitative dietary exposure risk assessment for 
drinking water was not conducted.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is 
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary 
exposure (e.g., textiles (clothing and diapers), carpets, swimming 
pools, and hard surface disinfection on walls, floors, tables).
    Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt may be used in pesticide products and non-
pesticide products used in and around the home that would have 
residential exposures. However, because no toxicological endpoint of 
concern was identified, a quantitative residential exposure assessment 
for Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt was not conducted.
    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 or 
exemption, 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.'' EPA has not 
found Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt to share a common mechanism of toxicity with 
any other substances, and Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-
{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt does not appear 
to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the 
purposes of this action, therefore, EPA has assumed that poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt does not have a common mechanism of toxicity 
with other substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to 
determine which chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to 
evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's website at 
http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    Based on the lack of threshold effects, EPA has not identified any 
toxicological endpoints of concern and is conducting a qualitative 
assessment of poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt. That qualitative assessment does not use 
safety factors for assessing risk, and no additional safety factor is 
needed for assessing risk to infants and children. Based on an 
assessment of poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt, EPA has concluded that there are no 
toxicological endpoints of concern for the U.S. population, including 
infants and children.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    Taking into consideration all available information on poly(oxy-
1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt when used as an inert

[[Page 24734]]

ingredient (colorant) in pesticide formulations applied to seed 
treatment slurries for raw agricultural commodities and not to exceed 
20% (wt/wt), EPA has determined that there is a reasonable certainty 
that no harm to the general population or any population subgroup, 
including infants and children, will result from aggregate exposure to 
poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt. Therefore, the establishment of an exemption 
from tolerance under 40 CFR 180.920 for residues of poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), [alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-
sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-
hydroxy-, monosodium salt when used as an inert ingredient (colorant) 
in pesticide formulations applied to seed treatment slurries for raw 
agricultural commodities and not to exceed 20% (wt/wt), is safe under 
FFDCA section 408.

V. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since 
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

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 (MRLs) established 
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA 
section 408(b)(4). Codex is a joint United Nation 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.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), 
[alpha], [alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt.

VI. Conclusions

    Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is 
established under 40 CFR 180.920 for poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha], 
[alpha]'-{[[4-[(3-sulfophenyl)azo]phenyl]imino]di-2,1-
ethanediyl{time} bis[[omega]-hydroxy-, monosodium salt (CAS Reg. No. N/
A) when used as an inert ingredient (colorant) in pesticide 
formulations applied to seed treatment slurries for raw agricultural 
commodities and not to exceed 20% (wt/wt).

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance 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 exemption 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).

VIII. 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).
