Introduction

The Health Effects Division (HED) of the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is charged with estimating the risk to human health from exposure to pesticides.  The Registration Division (RD) of OPP has requested that HED evaluate the hazard and exposure data and conduct occupational and residential exposure assessments, as needed, to estimate the risk to human health that will result from the proposed uses of fluopyram; the other active ingredients in the combination products have been addressed in separate assessments.  This memorandum serves as HED's assessment of the occupational and residential exposure and risk from these proposed uses.  

It is HED policy to use the best available data to assess exposure.  Several sources of generic data were used in this assessment as surrogate data in the absence of chemical-specific data, including Pesticide Handlers Exposure Database Version 1.1 (PHED 1.1); the Agricultural Handler Exposure Task Force (AHETF) database; the Outdoor Residential Exposure Task Force (ORETF) database; ExpoSAC Policy 14, 15, and 15.1 (SOPs for Seed Treatment), The Reviewer's Aid to Calculating Occupational Exposure from Activities Related to Agricultural Seed Treatment, the Agricultural Reentry Task Force (ARTF) database; and the Residential SOPs (turf, gardens and trees).  Some of these data are proprietary, and subject to the data protection provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).  

Note:  This memorandum was reviewed by the Exposure Science Advisory Committee (ExpoSAC) on August 27, 2015.

1.0	Executive Summary

The active ingredient, fluopyram (N-[2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethyl]-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide) is a pyridylethylamide SDH (succinate-dehydrogenase-inhibitor, complex II) fungicide with broad spectrum of activity against fungal diseases in a wide range of crops.  

Use Profile
The registrant, Bayer CropScience, is requesting numerous new uses on agricultural field crops and crop groups be added to the Luna[(R)] Privilege label (4.16 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1078] that contains the sole active ingredient (ai) fluopyram.  Additionally, Bayer CropScience is requesting to add numerous agricultural field crops and crop groups to the following multi-active ingredient labels: 1) Propulse[TM] (1.67 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1084] which contains fluopyram and prothioconazole; 2) Luna[(R)] Tranquility (1.04 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1085] which contains fluopyram and pyrimethanil; 3) Luna[(R)] Sensation (2.1 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1090] which contains fluopyram and trifloxystrobin; and 4) Luna[(R)] Experience (1.67 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1091] which contains fluopyram and tebuconazole.  

In addition, Bayer CropScience is requesting a new seed treatment use on peanut seeds to be added to the Luna[(R)] Privilege label (4.16 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1078]. 

Bayer CropScience, is also requesting new non-food uses of fluopyram on several newly proposed labels, including turf grass (golf courses, sod farms, sports fields, residential, industrial, municipal, commercial, and other turf grass areas), ornamentals (in residential and commercial landscapes, interiorscapes, field grown and container ornamentals, in nurseries, and greenhouses, lathhouses, shadehouses, containers and other enclosed structures), fruit and nut trees (including citrus, grapes, pome fruits, stone fruits, and tree nuts), ornamental sunflower, and Christmas trees.  The proposed labels are as follows: 1) Fluopyram 500 SC (4.16 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGI] which contains fluopyram; 2) FLU+TFS SC 500 (2.1 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGT] which contains fluopyram and trifloxystrobin; 3) FLU+TFS SC 32.5 (0.104 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGA] which contains fluopyram and trifloxystrobin; 4) FLU+TFS SC 25 (0.104 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGL] which contains fluopyram and trifloxystrobin; and 5) 13ESP715 3.3 SC (3.34 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLUG] which contains fluopyram.  

Most of the proposed labels require occupational handlers to wear the following personal protective equipment (PPE): long sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, socks, and chemical resistant gloves.  However, the FLU+TFS SC 32.5 and FLU+TFS SC 25 labels do not require the use of gloves.  Additionally, for the Luna[(R)] Privilege label requires water proof gloves for seed treatment activities and no gloves for baggers and bag sewers.

On all registered and proposed labels the restricted entry interval (REI) is 12 hours.

Fluopyram is currently registered on a variety of agricultural food crops, including apple, cherry (sweet and tart), cotton, dried beans, peanut, potato, strawberry, sugar beets, tree nuts, watermelon, viniferous variety grapes, and for seed treatment to cotton and soybean.  There are no existing residential uses of fluopyram.

Exposure Profile
There is a potential for short- and intermediate-term occupational dermal and inhalation exposure to fluopyram during handling tasks (mixing, loading, and application) and during post-application activities.  Long-term occupational exposure is not expected for the proposed use patterns associated with fluopyram.  There is a potential for residential short-term dermal and inhalation exposure to fluopyram to adults during handling tasks.  During residential post-application activities there is a potential for short-term dermal exposure to adults, youths, and children and incidental oral exposure to children 1 to <2 years old.

Hazard Concerns
There have been no changes in the hazard characterization, toxicity endpoints, or points of departure (PODs) since the last risk assessment for fluopyram.  The toxicity database is considered complete for risk assessment.  The liver was the target organ across species and exposure durations.  Treatment-related thyroid effects were also observed at dose levels causing adverse liver perturbations in rats and mice.  Decreased body weight was a common clinical finding throughout the toxicology database.  Liver tumors were observed in female rats and thyroid tumors were observed in male mice in chronic feeding studies.  

Short- and intermediate-term dermal endpoints were chosen from a dermal toxicity study in rats in which increased prothrombin time and altered cholesterol levels were seen at the limit dose (NOAEL = 300 mg/kg/day).  Short- and intermediate-term inhalation and short-term incidental oral risks are based on clinical chemistry and kidney effects in the parental generation observed at the LOAEL of 82.8 mg/kg/day (NOAEL of 14.5 mg/kg/day) from a 2-generation reproduction study in rats.

The subchronic inhalation study data requirement was waived by the Hazard and Science Policy Council (HASPOC, K. Rury, 1/30/13, TXR No. 0056523).  Since the dermal and inhalation endpoints are not based on developmental effects, the average body weight of an adult (80 kg) was used in the exposure assessments.  Since the toxicological effects for dermal and inhalation routes are not similar, the risk estimates from both routes are not combined together.  Also, since the toxicological effects for dermal and incidental oral routes are not similar, the risk estimates from both routes are not combined together.

HED recommends that the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor be reduced to 1x because there are no residual uncertainties with regard to pre- and postnatal susceptibility, the toxicology database is complete, and there is no evidence of neurotoxicity.

Fluopyram has low acute toxicity by the oral and dermal routes of exposure (Toxicity Category III) and also by the inhalation route of exposure (Toxicity Category IV).  It is not a dermal or eye irritant and is not a dermal sensitizer. 

The cancer classification is "not likely to be carcinogenic to humans."  There is no mutagenic concern for fluopyram.  

Occupational Exposure
No chemical-specific handler exposure data were submitted in support of these Section 3 registrations.  To assess handler exposures for regulatory actions when chemical-specific monitoring data are not available, HED used the most scientifically-reliable surrogate data currently available from various sources such as the PHED and the AHETF.  Some of this data, such as the industry task force data, is compensatory, subject to the data protection provisions of FIFRA.  

For occupational handlers for agricultural crops, turf, and Christmas trees, all short- and intermediate-term risk estimates resulted in margins of exposure (MOEs) >=100, and therefore, do not exceed HED's level of concern at any level of protection.  For dermal exposures at baseline personal protective equipment (PPE), MOEs range from 410 to 1,500,000.  For dermal exposures with gloves, MOEs range from 2,400 to 1,100,000.  For inhalation exposures, MOEs range from 7,400 to 5,400,000.  For the seed treatment use on peanut seeds, risk estimates for dermal and inhalation short-term occupational handler exposures all resulted in MOEs >=100, and therefore, do not exceed HED's level of concern, with MOEs ranging from 1,400 to 9,200 for dermal exposures and from 1,700 to 17,000 for inhalation exposures.

Short- and intermediate-term dermal post-application exposures and risks to occupational workers were estimated using standard values established by HED, since no chemical-specific data were submitted.  For all occupational post-application scenarios the dermal MOEs, at day zero following application, do not exceed HED's level of concern (MOEs >=100), with dermal MOEs ranging from 270 to 23,000.  Additionally, several post-application worker scenarios involved with the mechanical harvesting of cotton were assessed.  The dermal exposures to these harvesters of cotton resulted in risk estimate MOEs ranging from 3,100,000 to 17,000,000, which also do not exceed HED's level of concern (MOEs >=100).

Based on the Agency's current practices, a quantitative occupational post-application inhalation exposure assessment was not performed for fluopyram at this time.  If new policies or procedures are put into place, the Agency may revisit the need for a quantitative occupational post-application inhalation exposure assessment for fluopyram.

Restricted Entry Interval:  The 12-hour REI that appears on the registered and proposed labels is adequate to protect for worker exposure to fluopyram.  

Residential Exposure
All residential handler risk estimates are not of concern to HED (all MOEs >=100), with MOEs ranging from 8,900 to 190,000 for dermal exposures and 260,000 for inhalation exposures.

For treated lawns and turf, all residential post-application risk estimates are not of concern to HED (all MOEs >=100), with dermal post-application MOEs for all life stages ranging from 1,000 to 97,000 and incidental oral post-application MOEs for children 1 to <2 years old ranging from 2,400 to 1,100,000.  For treated gardens, ornamental trees and shrubs, and fruit trees, the dermal post-application MOEs for all life stages range from 2,100 to 33,000 and are not of concern to HED (MOEs >=100).

Human Studies Review
This risk assessment relies in part on data from studies in which adult human subjects were intentionally exposed to a pesticide or other chemical.  These data, which include studies from PHED 1.1; the AHETF database; the ARTF database; the ORETF database, and ExpoSAC Policies 14, 15, and 15.1 (SOPs for Seed Treatment), and The Reviewer's Aid to Calculating Occupational Exposure from Activities Related to Agricultural Seed Treatment are (1) subject to ethics review pursuant to 40 CFR 26, (2) have received that review, and (3) are compliant with applicable ethics requirements.  For certain studies, the ethics review may have included review by the Human Studies Review Board.  Descriptions of data sources, as well as guidance on their use, can be found at the Agency website.  

2.0	Risk Assessment Conclusions and Recommendations

2.1	Summary of Risk Estimates

There are no occupational or residential risk estimates of concern associated with the proposed uses of fluopyram.  

2.2	Data Deficiencies and Requirements

There are no data deficiencies or requirements missing from the fluopyram database at this time.

2.3	Label Recommendations

Some of the proposed products for fluopyram are intended for use by residential applicators on home lawns or residential areas, but require certain clothing and/or PPE to be worn.  Generally, the Agency does not consider PPE and clothing requirements to be enforceable on consumer lawn products.  If products containing fluopyram are meant to be marketed towards and applied by residential handlers on residential turf, ornamentals, fruit trees, or gardens, HED recommends that the label requirements for clothing and/or PPE be reevaluated or separate consumer-specific labels be developed.

3.0	Hazard Characterization

Acute Toxicity

Toxicological PODs Used for Risk Assessment
Short- and intermediate-term dermal endpoints were chosen from a dermal toxicity study in rats in which increased prothrombin time and altered cholesterol levels were seen at the limit dose (NOAEL = 300 mg/kg/day).  Short- and intermediate-term inhalation and short-term incidental oral risks are based on clinical chemistry and kidney effects in the parental generation observed at the LOAEL of 82.8 mg/kg/day (NOAEL of 14.5 mg/kg/day) from a 2-generation reproduction study in rats.

The subchronic inhalation study data requirement was waived by the HASPOC (K. Rury, 1/30/13, TXR No. 0056523).  Since no inhalation absorption data are available, toxicity by the inhalation route is considered to be equivalent to the estimated toxicity by the oral route of exposure.  Since the dermal and inhalation endpoints are not based on developmental effects, the average body weight of an adult (80 kg) was used in the exposure assessments.  Further, since the toxicological effects for dermal and inhalation routes are not similar, the risk estimates from both routes are not combined together.  

For small children (1 to <2 years old), the risk estimates from the incidental oral and dermal routes should not be combined.  The common effects seen in the dermal tox study (used for establish dermal endpoint) and the 2-generation reproduction study (used to establish the incidental oral endpoint) appeared to be increases in liver weights and hepatocellular hypertrophy, but these effects are adaptive effects.  For the dermal toxicity study, the other endpoints at the LOAEL included increased prothrombin time (which is hematological effect).  In contrast, the other endpoints for establishing the LOAEL were a host of effects including decreases in body weights with decreases in spleen and thymus weights and slight delay in preputial separation in the offsprings.  Therefore, the adverse effects at LOAEL for establishing the tox endpoints in these two studies are different.

HED recommends that the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor be reduced to 1x because there are no residual uncertainties with regard to pre- and postnatal susceptibility, the toxicology database is complete, and there is no evidence of neurotoxicity.

There is no mutagenic concern for fluopyram.  HED classified fluopyram as "Not Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans" at doses that do not induce cellular proliferation in the liver or thyroid glands (TXR# 0056961, CARC Report, 05/08/2014).  This classification was based on convincing evidence that non-genotoxic modes of action for liver tumors in rats and thyroid tumors in mice have been established and that the carcinogenic effects have been demonstrated as a result of a mode of action dependent on activation of the CAR/PXR receptors.  HED has determined that quantification of risk is not required (TXR# 0056961, CARC Report, 05/08/2014).

A summary of the toxicological doses and endpoints for occupational and residential human health risk assessment is provided in Table 3.2.

4.0	Use Profile 

Fluopyram is currently registered on a variety of agricultural food crops, including apple, cherry (sweet and tart), cotton, dried beans, peanut, potato, strawberry, sugar beets, tree nuts, watermelon, viniferous variety grapes, and for seed treatment to cotton and soybean.  There are currently no existing residential uses of fluopyram.

The registrant, Bayer CropScience, is requesting the addition of new uses of fluopyram on registered liquid formulation product labels, as follows: 

      1) The Luna[(R)] Privilege label (4.16 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1078] contains only the active ingredient fluopyram.  New uses are proposed on artichoke (globe), Brassica (cole) leafy vegetables, bulb vegetables, canola, carrot, cereal grains (except rice), citrus, cotton, cucurbit vegetables, fruiting vegetables, ginseng, grapes and small vines fruits (except fuzzy kiwifruit), herbs and spices (except black pepper), hops, leafy vegetables, legume vegetables (including soybean), peanut, pome fruits, potato and other root, tuberous and corm vegetables, small berries (caneberries and bushberries), stone fruit, strawberry and other low growing berries (except cranberries), sugar beet, sunflower subgroup, and tree nuts.  Additionally, the Luna Privilege label is also proposed for use as a seed treatment to peanuts.

      2) The Propulse[TM] label (1.67 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1084] contains the active ingredients fluopyram and prothioconazole.  New uses are proposed on barley, buckwheat, bushberry subgroup, canola, corn, crambe, cucurbit vegetables, field mustard, Indian rapeseed, low growing berries (except strawberries and cranberries), millet (pearl and proso), oats, rapeseed, rye, soybean, triticale, and wheat (spring, durum, and winter).
      
      3) The Luna[(R)] Tranquility label (1.04 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1085] contains the active ingredients fluopyram and pyrimethanil.  New uses are proposed on bulb vegetables, ginseng, lemons, pome fruit, tuberous and corm vegetables, small berries (caneberries and bushberries), stone fruit (except cherries), strawberries and other low-growing berries (except cranberries), and tomato.
      
      4) The Luna[(R)] Sensation label (2.1 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1090] contains the active ingredients fluopyram and trifloxystrobin.  New uses are proposed on artichoke (globe), Brassica (head and stem subgroup), Brassica (leafy greens subgroup), carrot, citrus, cucurbit vegetables, fruiting vegetables, ginseng, grapes and small vines fruits (except fuzzy kiwifruit), herbs and spices (except black pepper), hops, leafy vegetables (leafy greens subgroup), leafy vegetables (leaf petioles subgroup), pome fruits, potato and other root, tuberous and corm vegetables, soybean, stone fruit, strawberry and other low growing berries (except cranberries), and wheat.
      
      5) The Luna[(R)] Experience label (1.67 lb ai/gal) [EPA Reg. No. 264-1091] contains the active ingredients fluopyram and tebuconazole.  New uses are proposed on barley, bean (fresh and dry, except succulent shelled), bulb vegetable, corn (sweet corn, field corn, field corn grown for seed, and popcorn), cotton, cucurbit vegetables, fruiting vegetables, grapes and small vines fruits (except fuzzy kiwifruit), hops, leafy Brassica greens, okra, pome fruits, soybean, stone fruit, sunflower, and wheat.

Bayer CropScience, is also requesting the registration of several new end-use products containing the following new non-food uses of fluopyram: turf grass (golf courses, sod farms, sports fields, residential, industrial, municipal, commercial, and other turf grass areas), ornamentals (in residential and commercial landscapes, interiorscapes, field grown and container ornamentals, in nurseries, and greenhouses, lathhouses, shadehouses, containers and other enclosed structures), and Christmas trees.  These new end-use product labels also include proposed uses on citrus, grapes and small vine fruits, pome fruits, stone fruits, sunflower, and tree nuts.  All of these uses can be used by occupational, as well as residential, handlers.  The proposed end-use product labels are as follows: 1) Fluopyram 500 SC (4.16 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGI] which contains the active ingredient fluopyram; 2) FLU+TFS SC 500 (2.1 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGT] which contains the active ingredients fluopyram and trifloxystrobin; 3) FLU+TFS SC 32.5 (0.104 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGA] which contains the active ingredients fluopyram and trifloxystrobin; 4) FLU+TFS SC 25 (0.104 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLGL] which contains the active ingredients fluopyram and trifloxystrobin; and 5) 13ESP715 3.3 SC (3.34 lb ai/gal) [EPA File Symbol 432-RLUG] which contains the active ingredient fluopyram.  

The proposed labels require occupational handlers to wear the following attire and PPE: long sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, socks, and chemical resistant gloves.  However, the FLU+TFS SC 32.5 and FLU+TFS SC 25 labels do not require the use of gloves.  Additionally, for seed treatment of peanuts, the Luna[(R)] Privilege label requires water proof gloves for seed treatment activities and no gloves for baggers and bag sewers.

On all registered and proposed labels the proposed REI for new uses is 12 hours.

The proposed uses and application rates are described in detail in Table 4.1.

5.0	Residential Exposure and Risk Estimates

Based on the proposed product labels, several products are intended for use by homeowners, or by occupational handlers in residential settings.  Therefore, non-occupational/residential risk assessments have been completed.

5.1	Residential Handler Exposure/Risk Estimates

HED uses the term "handlers" to describe those individuals who are involved in the pesticide application process.  HED believes that there are distinct tasks related to applications and that exposures can vary depending on the specifics of each task.  Residential handlers are addressed somewhat differently by HED as homeowners are assumed to complete all elements of an application without use of any protective equipment.

The quantitative exposure/risk assessment developed for residential handlers is based on the following residential handler scenarios:  

 Mixing/Loading/Applying liquids for manually pressurized handwand for gardens, ornamentals, fruit trees, and turf;
 Mixing/Loading/Applying liquids for hose-end sprayers for gardens, ornamentals, fruit trees, and turf;
 Mixing/Loading/Applying liquids for backpack for gardens, ornamentals, fruit trees, and turf; and
 Mixing/Loading/Applying liquids for sprinkler cans for gardens, ornamentals, fruit trees, and turf.

Residential Handler Exposure Data and Assumptions

Short-term dermal and inhalation exposures were assessed for residential handlers.  A series of assumptions and exposure factors served as the basis for completing the residential handler risk assessments.  Each assumption and factor is detailed below.

Application Rate: 

For flower gardens, ornamentals, and fruit trees, the proposed maximum single application rate is 0.223 lb ai/A.  Applications to residential turf have a proposed maximum single application rate of 0.446 lb ai/A for occupational handlers and 0.404 lb ai/A for residential handlers.  

Unit Exposures and Area Treated or Amount Handled:
Unit exposure values and estimates for area treated or amount handled were taken from HED's 2012 Residential SOPs. 

Exposure Duration:

Residential handler exposure is expected to be short-term in duration.  Intermediate-term exposures are not likely because of the intermittent nature of applications by homeowners.

Residential Handler Exposure and Risk Estimate Equations

The algorithms used to estimate exposure and dose for residential handlers can be found in Appendix A and/or the 2012 Residential SOPs.

Summary of Residential Handler Non-Cancer Exposure and Risk Estimates

Dermal and inhalation exposures were not combined, since different endpoints and PODs are used for both routes of exposure.  Table 5.1 summarizes the residential handler exposures and risk estimates for fluopyram.  All residential handler risk estimates are not of concern to HED (all MOEs >=100), with MOEs ranging from 8,900 to 190,000 for dermal exposures and 260,000 for inhalation exposures.

5.2	Residential Post-application Exposure/Risk Estimates for Proposed Uses

There is the potential for post-application exposure to fluopyram for individuals exposed as a result of being in an environment that has been previously treated with fluopyram.  

The quantitative exposure/risk assessment for residential post-application exposures includes the following scenarios:  

 Adults and children (1 to <2 years old) dermal exposure to treated turf during high contact lawn activities,
 Children (1 to <2 years old) incidental oral exposure as a result of contacting treated turf,
 Adults and youths (11 to <16 yr old) dermal exposure to treated turf during mowing and golfing activities,
 Children (6 to <11 years old) dermal exposure to treated turf during golfing activities, and
 Adults and children (6 to <11 years old) dermal exposure to treated gardens.

The exposure assessment for dermal exposure to treated gardens is protective of exposure to treated ornamental and fruit trees.

The lifestages selected for each post-application scenario are based on an analysis provided as an Appendix in the 2012 Residential SOPs.  These lifestages are not the only lifestages that could be potentially exposed for these post-application scenarios; however, the assessment of these lifestages is health protective for the exposures and risk estimates for any other potentially exposed lifestages.

Residential Post-application Exposure Data and Assumptions
A series of assumptions and exposure factors served as the basis for completing the residential post-application risk assessment.  Each assumption and factor is detailed in the 2012 Residential SOPs[4].  The algorithms used to estimate exposure and dose for residential post-application exposures can be found in Appendix A and/or the 2012 Residential SOPs.

TTR data for Fluopyram
Because turf transferable residue data were not available for fluopyram, turf residues were estimated using default assumptions.  A TTR study is not required for fluopyram at this time.  Refer to Section 6.2.2 of this document for a detailed rationale.

DFR data for Fluopyram
Because dislodgeable foliar residue data were not available for fluopyram, foliar residues were estimated using default assumptions.  A DFR study is not required for fluopyram at this time.  Refer to Section 6.2.2 of this document for a detailed rationale.

Exposures are expected to be short-term in duration.  Short-term dermal and incidental oral exposure and risk estimates have been assessed.  

Combining Exposure and Risk Estimates
HED combines risk values resulting from separate routes of exposure when it is likely they can occur simultaneously based on the use pattern and the behavior associated with the exposed population, and if the hazard associated with the points of departure is similar across routes.  
Since dermal and incidental oral exposure routes do not share a common toxicological endpoint for fluopyram, risk estimates have not been combined for those routes.  

Tables 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 summarize the residential post-application exposure and risk estimates for exposures to treated lawns and turf.  The proposed liquid formulations do not lead to post-application risk estimates of concern.  Residential dermal post-application MOEs for all life stages range from 1,000 to 97,000.  Residential incidental oral post-application MOEs for children 1 to <2 years old range from 2,400 to 1,100,000.

5.3	Combined Residential Risk Estimates (Multiple Exposure Scenarios)

Residential handler and post-application scenarios should generally not be combined.  Although there is potential for the same individual (i.e., adult) to apply a pesticide in and around the home and be exposed by reentering a treated area in the same day, this is unlikely to occur day after day for 30 days.  Combining both of these exposure scenarios would also be inappropriate because of the conservative nature of each individual assessment.

Since the application rates are different for turf and ornamental plants/trees, and because of the conservative nature of the individual turf and gardens/trees assessments, these scenarios were not combined.

5.4	Residential Risk Estimates for Use in Aggregate Assessment

Table 5.4.1 reflects the residential risk estimates that are recommended for use in the aggregate assessment for fluopyram.

 The recommended residential exposure for use in the adult aggregate assessment reflects inhalation handler exposure from treating lawns from by hose-end sprayer.
 The recommended residential exposure for use in the children (1 to <2 years old) aggregate assessment reflects incidental oral hand-to-mouth post-application exposure to treated lawns.

5.5	Spray Drift

Spray drift is a potential source of exposure to those nearby pesticide applications.  This is particularly the case with aerial application, but, to a lesser extent, spray drift can also be a potential source of exposure from the ground application methods (e.g., groundboom and airblast) employed for fluopyram.  The agency has been working with the Spray Drift Task Force (a task force composed of various registrants which was developed as a result of a Data Call-In issued by EPA), EPA Regional Offices and State Lead Agencies for pesticide regulation and other parties to develop the best spray drift management practices (see the agency's Spray Drift website for more information).   The agency has also developed a policy on how to appropriately consider spray drift as a potential source of exposure in risk assessments for pesticides.  The potential for spray drift will be quantitatively evaluated for each pesticide during the Registration Review process which ensures that all uses for that pesticide will be considered concurrently.  The approach is outlined in the revised (2012) Standard Operating Procedures For Residential Risk Assessment (SOPs) - Residential Exposure Assessment Standard Operating Procedures Addenda 1: Consideration of Spray Drift.  This document outlines the quantification of indirect non-occupational exposure to drift.  

5.6	Residential Bystander Post-Application Inhalation Exposure

Volatilization of pesticides may be a source of post-application inhalation exposure to individuals nearby pesticide applications.  The agency sought expert advice and input on issues related to volatilization of pesticides from its Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) in December 2009, and received the SAP's final report on March 2, 2010 (http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0687-0037).  The agency has evaluated the SAP report and has developed a Volatilization Screening Tool and a subsequent Volatilization Screening Analysis (http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0219).  During Registration Review, the Agency will utilize this analysis to determine if data (i.e., flux studies, route-specific inhalation toxicological studies) or further analysis is required for fluopyram.

In addition to this screen, the Agency has developed a preliminary bystander volatilization inhalation exposure assessment for fluopyram utilizing the currently available inhalation toxicity and air monitoring data.  

6.0	Occupational Exposure and Risk Estimates

6.1	Occupational Handler Exposure/Risk Estimates

HED uses the term handlers to describe those individuals who are involved in the pesticide application process.  HED believes that there are distinct job functions or tasks related to applications and exposures can vary depending on the specifics of each task.  Job requirements (amount of chemical used in each application), the kinds of equipment used, the target being treated, and the level of protection used by a handler can cause exposure levels to differ in a manner specific to each application event.  

Based on the anticipated use patterns and proposed labeling, types of equipment and techniques that can potentially be used, occupational handler exposure is expected from the proposed uses.  The quantitative dermal and inhalation exposure/risk assessment developed for occupational handlers is based on the following scenarios: 

 Mixing/loading liquids for aerial and chemigation application,
 Mixing/loading liquids for groundboom application,
 Mixing/loading liquids for airblast application, 
 Applying sprays via aerial equipment, 
 Applying sprays via groundboom equipment, 
 Applying sprays via airblast equipment, 
 Flagging for aerial sprays, 
 Mixing, loading, and applying liquids with manually pressurized handwand, 
 Mixing, loading, and applying liquids with mechanically-pressurized handgun, and
 Mixing, loading, and applying liquids with a backpack.

Occupational Agricultural Handler Exposure Data and Assumptions

A series of assumptions and exposure factors served as the basis for completing the occupational handler risk assessments.  Each assumption and factor is detailed below on an individual basis.

Application Rate:  A summary of the maximum application rates for each crop or use site are provided in Table 4.1.

Unit Exposures:  It is the policy of HED to use the best available data to assess handler exposure.  Sources of generic handler data, used as surrogate data in the absence of chemical-specific data, include PHED 1.1, the AHETF database, or other registrant-submitted occupational exposure studies.  Some of these data are proprietary (e.g., AHETF data), and subject to the data protection provisions of FIFRA.  The standard values recommended for use in predicting handler exposure that are used in this assessment, known as "unit exposures", are outlined in the "Occupational Pesticide Handler Unit Exposure Surrogate Reference Table", which, along with additional information on HED policy on use of surrogate data, including descriptions of the various sources, can be found at the Agency website. 

Area Treated or Amount Handled:  The daily areas treated or amounts handled were defined for each handler scenario (in appropriate units) by determining the amount that can be reasonably treated by an individual in a single day.  When possible, the assumptions for daily areas treated or amounts handled are taken from the HED's ExpoSAC Policy 9.1: "Standard Values for Daily Acres Treated in Agriculture".  

Exposure Duration:  HED classifies exposures from 1 to 30 days as short-term and exposures 30 days to six months as intermediate-term.  Exposure duration is determined by many things, including the exposed population, the use site, the pest pressure triggering the use of the pesticide, and the cultural practices surrounding that use site.  For most agricultural uses, it is reasonable to believe that occupational handlers will not apply the same chemical every day for more than a one-month time frame; however, there may be a large agribusiness and/or commercial applicators who may apply a product over a period of weeks (e.g., completing multiple applications for multiple clients within a region).  

For fluopyram, based on the existing labeled use patterns, short- and intermediate-term exposures are expected.  Long-term exposure is not expected based on the proposed use patterns.

Mitigation/Personal Protective Equipment:  Occupational handler exposure assessments are completed by HED using different levels of risk mitigation.  Typically, HED uses a tiered approach.  The lowest tier is designed as the baseline exposure scenario (i.e., long-sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes, socks, no respirator).  If risk estimates are of concern at baseline attire, then increasing levels of PPE (i.e., gloves, respirators) are evaluated.  This approach is used to ensure that the lowest level of risk mitigation that provides adequate protection is selected.  Estimates of dermal and inhalation exposure were calculated for "baseline," defined as a single layer of clothing consisting of a long sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks, no protective gloves, and no respirator.  The fluopyram product labels direct mixers, loaders, applicators and other handlers to wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, and chemical resistant gloves.

Occupational Handler Non-Cancer Exposure and Risk Estimate Equations
The algorithms used to estimate non-cancer exposure and dose for occupational handlers can be found in Appendix A.

Summary of Occupational Handler Non-Cancer Exposure and Risk Estimates

For all exposure scenarios the risk estimates do not exceed HED's LOC (i.e., MOEs >=100) at baseline clothing (i.e., long sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks, without gloves or a respirator).  The MOEs ranged from 410 to 1,500,000 for dermal exposure with baseline clothing, 2,400 to 1,100,000 for dermal exposure with the addition of gloves, and 7,400 to 30,000,000 for inhalation exposure.  See Table 6.1.1 for the summary of occupational handler risk estimates.

Seed Treatment Use on Peanut Seeds
Based on the anticipated use patterns and labeling, types of equipment and techniques that can potentially be used, occupational handler exposure is expected from the proposed seed treatment of peanuts.  The quantitative exposure/risk assessment developed for occupational handlers is based on the following scenarios: 

 Mixing/loading liquids for commercial seed treatment,
 Bagging treated seed,
 Sewing bags,
 Multiple activities, and
 Planting treated seed.

Occupational seed treatment handlers may experience short- and intermediate-term exposure to fluopyram while performing seed treatment activities in commercial settings.  In addition, occupational secondary handlers may experience short- and intermediate-term exposure while planting fluopyram-treated seeds.  No chemical-specific handler exposure data were submitted in support of this use pattern.  For assessing commercial seed treatment and seed planting activities, unit exposure data were taken from HED ExpoSAC Policy 14: SOPs for Seed Treatment.  The amount of ai handled depends on the application rate (lb ai/lb seed) and the pounds of seed treated in a day (or the pounds of seed that can be planted in a day), all of which vary depending upon the seed type.  Values for the amount of seed treated and planted per day were obtained from HED ExpoSAC Policy 15 and 15.1.

Treating Seed (Primary Handler)
Potential occupational exposure scenarios from the use of fluopyram as a commercial seed treatment include: mixing, loading, applying liquid formulations; bagging treated seed; sewing bags; and multiple activities.  Typically, for large-scale commercial seed treatments, workers perform only those specific individual tasks listed above; however, it is assumed that workers also may perform multiple activities throughout the day.  As a result a "multiple activities" scenario (i.e. where one worker performs all seed treatment tasks such as loading/applying, sewing, bagging, cleaning, calibration, repair, forklift driver, etc.) was addressed.

Planting Treated Seed (Secondary Handler)
Potential occupational exposure scenarios from the use of fluopyram as a commercial seed treatment include planting treated seed (secondary handler).  Planting treated seed consists of the farmer purchasing bags of treated seed, placing the seed in the hopper and applying seed to fields (considered a secondary handler exposure scenario).

Occupational Handler Exposure Data and Assumptions
A series of assumptions and exposure factors served as the basis for completing the occupational handler risk assessments.  Each assumption and factor is detailed below on an individual basis.

Application Rate:  
Refer to the proposed use pattern table in Section 4.0 for a detailed description.

Unit Exposures:  It is the policy of HED to use the best available data to assess handler exposure.  Chemical-specific data for assessing exposure during commercial seed treatment and seed planting were not submitted to the Agency in support of these applications.  Unit exposures are from ExpoSAC Policy 14: SOPs for Seed Treatment (May 1, 2003) and are based on data for open mixing/loading/application systems.

Amount Handled:  
HED is currently in the process of revising ExpoSAC Policy 15: Amount of Seed Treated or Planted per Day (March 2, 2004) in efforts to update the daily amount of seed treated in commercial seed treatment facilities.  With the increasing demand for hybridized treated seeds, there have been modifications not only in the seed treatment equipment, but in the market shares of new and currently registered pesticide products.  HED understands that due to the high cost of producing hybrid seeds, direct seeding is done in a precision manner which requires lower volumes of seed per acre.  However, this does not provide a direct correlation to the amount of seed which is treated in the commercial seed treatment facilities.

The amount of seed handled (for both primary/treater and secondary/planter handlers) is based on HED ExpoSAC Policy 15, HED ExpoSAC Policy SOP 15.1, and the BEAD memo: "Acres Planted Per Day and Seeding Rates of Crops Grown in the United States."

 The amount of peanut seed treated per day at a commercial facility for short-term exposure durations is 339,500 lb.

 Amount of seed planted per acre (ASP, lb seed/A) for peanut is 228 lb seed/A (105,000 seeds/A x lb peanut seeds/460 peanut seeds).

 The amount of seed planted per acre per day for peanut is 18,260 lb (228 lb seed/A x 80 A/day).

Exposure Duration: 
HED classifies exposures from 1 to 30 days as short-term and exposures 30 days to six months as intermediate-term.

Mitigation/Personal Protective Equipment:  Results are presented for PPE (gloves); defined as a single layer of clothing consisting of a long sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks, protective gloves, and no respirator for all scenarios, except bagging and sewing, for which "baseline" attire was evaluated.

Occupational Handler Non-Cancer Exposure and Risk Estimate Equations
The algorithms used to estimate non-cancer exposure and dose for occupational handlers can be found in Appendix A.

Summary of Occupational Handler Non-Cancer Exposure and Risk Estimates
The results of the occupational handler exposure and risk assessment indicate that short-term dermal and inhalation risk estimates do not exceed HED's LOC (i.e., an MOE < 100 for short-term exposures).  Short-term exposure risk estimates are protective of intermediate-term exposure risk estimates because the throughput (amount of seed treated) of short-term exposure is greater than, or equal to, the throughput of intermediate-term exposure.  The dermal MOEs range from 1,400 to 9,200 for handlers (treaters and planters).  The inhalation MOEs range from 1,700 to 15,000 for handlers (treaters and planters).  Because the short- and intermediate-term dermal and inhalation PODs are the same, and the intermediate-term exposure inputs are less conservative than the short-term exposure inputs for seed treatment, short-term exposure risk estimates are protective of intermediate-term exposure risk estimates.

6.2	Occupational Post-application Exposure/Risk Estimates

HED uses the term post-application to describe exposures that occur when individuals are present in an environment that has been previously treated with a pesticide (also referred to as re-entry exposure).  Such exposures may occur when workers enter previously treated areas to perform job functions, including activities related to crop production, such as scouting for pests or harvesting.  Post-application exposure levels vary over time and depend on such things as the type of activity, the nature of the crop or target that was treated, the type of pesticide application, and the chemical's degradation properties.  In addition, the timing of pesticide applications, relative to harvest activities, can greatly reduce the potential for post-application exposure.

6.2.1	Occupational Post-application Inhalation Exposure/Risk Estimates

There are multiple potential sources of post-application inhalation exposure to individuals performing post-application activities in previously treated fields.  These potential sources include volatilization of pesticides and resuspension of dusts and/or particulates that contain pesticides.  The agency sought expert advice and input on issues related to volatilization of pesticides from its Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) in December 2009, and received the SAP's final report on March 2, 2010 (http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/SAP/meetings/2009/120109meeting.html).  The agency has evaluated the SAP report and has developed a Volatilization Screening Tool and a subsequent Volatilization Screening Analysis (http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0219).  During Registration Review, the agency will utilize this analysis to determine if data (i.e., flux studies, route-specific inhalation toxicological studies) or further analysis is required for fluopyram.

In addition, the Agency is continuing to evaluate the available post-application inhalation exposure data generated by the Agricultural Reentry Task Force.  Given these two efforts, the Agency will continue to identify the need for and, subsequently, the way to incorporate occupational post-application inhalation exposure into the agency's risk assessments.

Although a quantitative occupational post-application inhalation exposure assessment was not performed, an inhalation exposure assessment was performed for occupational/commercial handlers.  Handler exposure resulting from application of pesticides outdoors is likely to result in higher exposure than post-application exposure.  Therefore, it is expected that these handler inhalation exposure estimates would be protective of most occupational post-application inhalation exposure scenarios.

6.2.2	Occupational Post-application Dermal Exposure/Risk Estimates

Use on Agricultural Field Crops

Occupational Post-application Dermal Exposure Data and Assumptions
In addition to the application rate and body weight values discussed above in the handler exposure section, the following assumptions were made in assessing short- and intermediate-term dermal post-application risks:

Dislodgeable Foliar Residues:
There were no chemical-specific dislodgeable foliar residue data to assess post-application risks to workers while performing tasks related to crops treated with fluopyram.  For agricultural crops, occupational post-application exposures and risks were assessed using HED's default assumptions that 25% of the initial application is available for transfer on day 0 (i.e., 12 hours after application) and that the residue dissipates at a rate of 10% per day.  

In accordance with 40 CFR §158, DFR data are required for all occupational (e.g., crop, nursery, greenhouse use sites) or residential (e.g., ornamental and vegetable gardens, pick your own farms, retail tree farms) uses that could result in post-application exposure to foliage.  In the absence of chemical-specific DFR data, EPA uses default values.  The 2012 Standard Operating Procedures for Residential Pesticide Exposure Assessment includes an analysis of a number of DFR studies, which resulted in the selection of a revised default values for the fraction of the application rate available for transfer after a foliar application (FAR).  These values are based on an analysis of 19 DFR studies.  Since that time, the Agricultural Re-entry Task Force has submitted information (MRID 49299201) that corrects an application rate error made in the original submission of "ARF039  -  Determination of Dermal and Inhalation Exposure to Reentry Workers During Chrysanthemum Pinching in a Greenhouse" (EPA MRID 45344501).  As a result, the range of FAR values was revised from 2% - 89% to 2% - 47%.  In the data, a large range of transferability is observed and this variability can potentially be attributable to many factors such as active ingredient; formulation; field conditions in the studies; weather conditions (e.g., humidity); or many other difficult to quantify factors.  Although witnessed across multiple chemicals, this range in FAR values is not expected when considering DFR data for a single chemical.  At this time, the ARTF submission did not alter the selection of 25% as the reasonable, high-end default value.  Because DFR data are not available for fluopyram, EPA is using the default value of 25%.  Although there may be a small degree of uncertainty in the use of the default DFR value for fluopyram (i.e., there is a small chance that the FAR value may exceed the applicable default value), it is likely that the health-protective aspects of EPA's occupational post-application assessment methodology will more than compensate for this potential uncertainty.  For example,  when assessing residential and occupational post-application exposure to gardens and ornamentals, EPA assumes the following:  exposures occur to zero-day (i.e., day of application ) residues every day of the assessed exposure duration (i.e., EPA assumes that no dissipation or degradation occurs, it doesn't rain, etc); individuals perform the same post-application activities performed in the transfer coefficient study day after day (e.g., weeding, harvesting, pruning, etc.); and individuals engage in these post-application activities for a high-end amount of time every day (represented by data reflecting time spent gardening based on survey data).

Given the conservatisms discussed above and the potential compounding nature of these conservatisms, EPA is able to rely upon the calculated exposure estimates with confidence that exposure is not being underestimated. 

Since the highest estimated residential and occupational post-application exposures using default DFR values for fluopyram are minimal in comparison to the level of concern (i.e., the calculated MOE is greater than 2 times higher than the level of concern, residential MOE = 2,100 and occupational MOE = 250 compared to the LOC of 100); EPA is waiving the 40 CFR §158 DFR data requirement.  In this instance, it is unlikely that chemical-specific DFR data would be needed to further refine exposure assessments or would add appreciably to our overall understanding of the availability of dislodgeable foliar pesticide residues for fluopyram.  

Turf Transferrable Residues
A turf transferrable residue study has not been submitted for fluopyram.  Therefore, HED's standard operating procedures and assumptions were used to determine an estimate of day zero fluopyram residues on treated turf.  

In accordance with 40 CFR §158, TTR data are required for all occupational (e.g., sod farms, golf courses, parks, and recreational areas) or residential turf uses that could result in post-application exposure to turf.  In the absence of chemical-specific TTR data, EPA uses default values.  The 2012 Standard Operating Procedures for Residential Pesticide Exposure Assessment includes an analysis of all TTR data, available at the time, which resulted in the selection of revised liquid and granular default values for the fraction of the application rate available for transfer after a turf application (FAR).  These values are based on an analysis of 59 TTR studies performed with the Modified California Roller Method (36 studies using liquids, 11 studies using wettable powders/water dispersible granules, and 12 studies using granules).  The liquid results (N=131) indicate a range of FAR values from 0.0005% to 6.1% and the granular results (N=37) indicate a range of 0.00064% to 0.69%.  In both the liquid and granular data, a large range of transferability is observed and this variability can potentially be attributable to many factors such as active ingredient; formulation; field conditions in the studies; weather conditions (e.g., humidity); or many other difficult to quantify factors.  Although witnessed across multiple chemicals, this range in FAR values is not expected when considering TTR data for a single chemical.  HED selected 1% and 0.2% as high-end default values for liquid and granular products, respectively.  Because TTR data are not available for fluopyram, EPA is using the default value of 1%.  Although there may be a small degree of uncertainty in the use of the default TTR value for fluopyram (i.e., there is a small chance that the FAR value may exceed the applicable default value), it is likely that the health-protective aspects of EPA's residential and occupational post-application turf assessment methodology will more than compensate for this potential uncertainty (i.e., the methodology is likely to overestimate exposure by a factor greater than the factor than the highest measured FAR values exceed the defaults).  For example, when assessing residential post-application turf exposure, EPA assumes the following:  exposures occur to zero-day (i.e., day of application ) residues every day of the assessed exposure duration (i.e., EPA assumes that no dissipation or degradation occurs, it doesn't rain, the grass is not mowed, etc.); individuals perform the same post-application activities performed in the turf transfer coefficient study day after day (e.g., tumbling, playing on turf with toys, etc.); and individuals engage in these post-application activities for a high-end amount of time every day that is represented by data reflecting time children spend outdoors and not specifically engaged in activities on turf, when in actuality children do not spend all of their outdoor time on turf and high-end levels of activity will not occur every day.

Given the conservatisms discussed above and the potential compounding nature of these conservatisms, EPA is able to rely upon the calculated exposure estimates with confidence that exposure is not being underestimated.

Since the estimated residential turf post-application exposure from high contact activities on lawns and the occupational post-application activities on golf course turf using default TTR values for fluopyram are minimal in comparison to the level of concern (i.e., the calculated MOEs are greater than 10 times higher than the level of concern, residential MOE = 1,000 and occupational MOE = 9,000, compared to the LOC of 100); EPA is waiving the 40 CFR §158 TTR data requirement.  In this instance, it is unlikely that chemical-specific TTR data would be needed to further refine exposure assessments or would add appreciably to our general understanding of the availability of turf transferable pesticide residues.

Transfer Coefficients:
HED uses a concept known as the transfer coefficient to numerically represent the post-application exposures one would receive (generally presented as cm[2]/hour).  A transfer coefficient is a measure of the residue transferred from a treated surface to a person who is doing a task or activity in a treated area.  These values are the ratio of an exposure for a given task or activity to the amount of pesticide residue on treated surfaces available for transfer.  HED has developed a series of standard transfer coefficients that are unique for variety of job tasks or activities that are used in lieu of chemical- and scenario-specific data.  

No post-application data were submitted in support of this registration action; therefore, dermal exposures during post-application activities were estimated for the various tasks that post-application workers might perform on each crop grouping using dermal transfer coefficients from the Science Advisory Council for Exposure Policy Number 3 (http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/science/exposac_policy3.pdf).  This policy reflects adoption of all ARTF data.  Use of the data in this policy requires compensation to the ARTF under FIFRA.  The transfer coefficients used in this assessment were taken from the Agency's revised Agricultural Transfer Coefficient SOP.  Many of the transfer coefficients in this SOP are based on work of the ARTF.  

Workday:
HED assumes an 8 hour workday for post-application workers.

Equations and Calculations:
Daily Dermal Exposure and default DFR calculations are presented below.  The algorithms used to estimate dermal post-application exposure and dose can be found in Appendix A.

The post-application dermal exposure and risk estimates associated with agricultural crops, Christmas trees, and nursery ornamentals are summarized in Table 6.2.2.  For each crop or crop group the post-application activities with the highest transfer coefficient and highest exposure contact are presented.  The occupational post-application MOEs for all crops and crop groups and scenarios shown below do not exceed HED's level of concern (MOEs >=100) on day 0 (i.e., 12 hours following application) with dermal MOEs ranging from 250 to 23,000.  All other scenarios involving lesser contact activities would have higher MOEs and are also not of concern.

For use on cotton, HED has also assessed the post-application dermal exposure and risk estimates for workers involved in harvesting cotton bolls.  Although most of cotton harvesting is done mechanically, there are still some activities, with the potential for exposure, that are associated with the harvesting of cotton.  The anticipated post-application activities and dermal transfer coefficients for these activities are presented in Table 6.2.3.  The recommended transfer coefficients are derived from EPA's Science Advisory Council for Exposure (ExpoSAC) Policy 3 (http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/science/exposac-policy3-march2013.pdf).  No chemical specific data are available for the amount of residue available on the cotton bolls; i.e., dislodgeable boll residue (DBR) data.  Such data are available from a study with the active ingredient tribufos; i.e., MRID 42701601.  Note to RD:  These data may be proprietary, and subject to the data protection provisions of FIFRA, and therefore, may trigger a data compensation issue between registrants.  Since the proposed fluopyram labels include a 30 day pre-harvest interval, the best fit residue data used from MRID 42701601 was chosen from 30 days after harvest and then adjusted for the difference in application rates.  All of the cotton harvesting activities resulted in MOEs ranging from 3,100,000 to 17,000,000, which do not exceed the LOC, and are therefore not of concern; see Table 6.2.4.

For use on turf, the exposure/risk assessment for the proposed uses results in a post-application occupational MOE of 9,000, which is above the dermal LOC (MOE >=100); and therefore is not of concern.

[1] The transfer coefficient is the arithmetic mean value taken from MRID 46734001.  It should be noted that a previous study on golf course maintenance (MRID 45530101) had been submitted, but had been determined to be unacceptable.  Data from MRID 46734001 are believed to be more appropriate.
[2] TTR derived as follows: 0.446 lb ai/A x 4.54E+8 ug/lb x 2.47E-8 A/cm[2]x 0.01 (fraction of transferable ai) = 0.05 ug/cm[2].
[3] Daily Dose = [TTR (ug/cm[2]) x (0.001 mg/ug) x Dermal Transfer Coefficient x Exposure Time (8 hr)] / [Body Weight (80 kg)] = 0.0335 mg/kg/day.
[4] MOE = LOAEL/Daily Dose.  Short-/Intermediate-Term LOAEL = 300 mg/kg/day.

Restricted Entry Interval
Since post-application risk estimates were not a concern on day 0 (12 hours following application), the REI is based on the acute toxicity of fluopyram technical material.  Fluopyram is classified as Toxicity Category III by the acute dermal route of exposure and Toxicity Category IV for acute eye irritation potential and skin irritation potential.  Under the WPS for Agricultural Pesticides, active ingredients classified as acute toxicity categories III or IV for these routes are assigned a 12-hour REI.  Therefore, the 12-hour REI that appears on the proposed labels is adequate to protect agricultural workers from post-application exposures to fluopyram.

Seed Treatment Use on Peanut Seeds
With regard to seed treatment, the potential for post-application exposures following the planting of fluopyram-treated seeds is unlikely because sustained levels of contact with treated seed after it has been placed in the soil or other planting media would not be expected because no routine cultural practice required for the production of agricultural commodities involves such an activity, as defined in the no/low contact criteria in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) in 40 CFR §170.112.  Therefore, no quantitative post-application assessment is required for exposure to treated seeds that have already been planted.

Appendix A.  Summary of Occupational and Residential Non-cancer Algorithms

Occupational Handler Non-Cancer Algorithms

Potential daily exposures for occupational handlers are calculated using the following formulas:

E=UE * AR * A * 0.001 mg/ug

where:

E	=	exposure (mg ai/day),
UE	=	unit exposure (ug ai/lb ai),
AR	=	maximum application rate according to proposed label (lb ai A or lb ai/gal), and
A	=	area treated or amount handled (e.g., A/day, gal/day).
 
The daily doses are calculated using the following formula:

ADD=  E * AFBW

where:

ADD	= 	average daily dose absorbed in a given scenario (mg ai/kg/day),
E	=	exposure (mg ai/day),
AF	=	absorption factor (dermal and/or inhalation), and
BW 	= 	body weight (kg).

Margin of Exposure:  Non-cancer risk estimates for each application handler scenario are calculated using a Margin of Exposure (MOE), which is a ratio of the toxicological endpoint to the daily dose of concern.  The daily dermal and inhalation dose received by occupational handlers are compared to the appropriate POD (i.e., NOAEL) to assess the risk to occupational handlers for each exposure route.  All MOE values are calculated using the following formula:

MOE= PODADD

where:

MOE	=	margin of exposure: value used by HED to represent risk estimates (unitless),
POD	=	point of departure (mg/kg/day), and
ADD	=	average daily dose absorbed in a given scenario (mg ai/kg/day).

Occupational Post-application Algorithms
Exposure resulting from contacting previously treated turf while working is calculated as follows:

	E = TTRt * CF1 * TC * ET 	

where:

E = exposure (mg/day); 
TTRt  = turf transferable residue on day "t" (ug/cm[2]);
CF1 = weight unit conversion factor (0.001 mg/ug);
TC  = transfer coefficient (cm[2]/hr); and
ET  = exposure time (hr/day).

and

                      TTRt = AR * F * (1-FD)t * CF2 * CF3

where:

TTRt = turf transferable residue on day t (μg/cm[2]);
AR = application rate (lbs ai/ft[2] or lb ai/acre);
F = fraction of ai as transferable residue following application (unitless);
FD = fraction of residue that dissipates daily (unitless);
t = post-application day on which exposure is being assessed;
CF2 = weight unit conversion factor (4.54 x 10[8] μg/lb); and
CF3 = area unit conversion factor (1.08 x 10[-3] ft[2]/ cm[2] or 2.47 x 10[-8] acre/cm[2]).

Absorbed dose, normalized to body weight, is calculated as:

	 
where:
      D	= dose (mg/kg-day);
      E	= exposure (mg/day); 
      AF	= absorption factor (dermal); and
      BW	= body weight (kg).

Residential Post-application Algorithms

Post-application Dermal Exposure Algorithm  -  Physical Activities on Turf
Exposure resulting from contacting previously treated turf while performing physical activities is calculated as shown below.  Residential post-application exposure assessment must include calculation of exposure on the day of application.  Therefore, though an assessment can present exposures for any day "t" following the application, it must include "day 0" exposure.

                           E = TTRt * CF1 * TC * ET

where:

E = exposure (mg/day);
TTRt = turf transferable residue on day t (μg/cm[2]);
CF1 = weight unit conversion factor (0.001 mg/μg);
TC = transfer coefficient (cm[2]/hr); and
ET = exposure time (hr/day).

If chemical-specific TTR data are available, then surface residues from the day of application should be used (assume that individuals could be exposed to residues immediately after application). However, if data are not available, then TTRt can be calculated using the following formula:

                      TTRt= AR * F * (1-FD)t * CF2 * CF3

where:

TTRt = turf transferable residue on day t (μg/cm[2]);
AR = application rate (lbs ai/ft[2] or lb ai/acre);
F = fraction of ai as transferable residue following application (unitless);
FD = fraction of residue that dissipates daily (unitless);
t = post-application day on which exposure is being assessed;
CF2 = weight unit conversion factor (4.54 x 10[8] μg/lb); and
CF3 = area unit conversion factor (1.08 x 10[-3] ft[2]/ cm[2] or 2.47 x 10[-8] acre/cm[2]).

Dermal absorbed doses are calculated as:

	 	

where:
      D	= dose (mg/kg-day);
      E	= exposure (mg/day);
      AF	= absorption factor (dermal); and
      BW	= body weight (kg).

Post-application Hand-to-Mouth Exposure Algorithm -  Physical Activities on Turf
Exposure from hand-to-mouth activity is calculated as follows (based on the algorithm utilized in the SHEDS-Multimedia model):

  E = [HR * (FM * SAH) * (ET * N_Replen) * (1- (1- SE)[(Freq_HtM/N-Replen)])]

where:

E = exposure (mg/day);
HR = hand residue loading (mg/cm[2]);
FM = fraction hand surface area mouthed / event (fraction/event);
SAH = typical surface area of one hand (cm[2]);
ET = exposure time (hr/day);
N_Replen = number of replenishment intervals per hour (intervals/hour);
SE = saliva extraction factor (i.e., mouthing removal efficiency); and
Freq_HtM = number of hand-to-mouth contacts events per hour (events/hour).

and

HR = hand residue loading (mg/cm[2]);
Faihands	 = fraction ai on hands compared to total surface residue from dermal transfer coefficient study (unitless);
DE = dermal exposure (mg); and

Dose, normalized to body weight, is calculated as:

	 	

where:

Post-application Object-to-Mouth Exposure Algorithm -  Physical Activities on Turf
Exposure from object-to-mouth activity is calculated as follows (based on the algorithm utilized in SHEDS-Multimedia):
                                       	
	E = [OR* CF1 * SAMO * (ET * N_Replen) * (1- (1- SEO)(Freq_OtM/N_Replen))]	

where:

E = exposure (mg/day);
OR = chemical residue loading on the object on day "t" (ug/cm[2]);
CF1 = weight unit conversion factor (0.001 mg/ug);
SAMO = area of the object surface that is mouthed (cm[2]/event);
ET = exposure time (hr/day);
N_Replen = number of replenishment intervals per hour (intervals/hour);
SEO  = saliva extraction factor (i.e., mouthing removal efficiency); and
Freq_OtM  = number of object-to-mouth contact events per hour (events/hour).

and

	OR = AR * FO * CF2 * CF3 	

where:

OR = chemical residue loading on the object (μg/cm[2]);
AR = application rate (lbs ai/ft[2] or lb ai/acre);
FO = fraction of residue available on the object (unitless);
CF2 = weight unit conversion factor (4.54 x 10[8] ug/lb); and
CF3 = area unit conversion factor (1.08 x 10[-3] ft[2]/cm[2] or 2.47 x 10[-8] acre/cm[2]).

Dose, normalized to body weight, is calculated as:

	 	

where:
      D	=	dose (mg/kg-day);
      E	=	exposure (mg/day); and
      BW	=	body weight (kg).

Post-application Incidental Soil Ingestion Exposure Algorithm -  Physical Activities on Turf
Exposure from incidental soil ingestion is calculated as follows:

	E = SRt * SIgR * CF1 	

where:
E = exposure (mg/day);
SRt = soil residue on day "t" (ug/g);
SIgR = ingestion rate of soil (mg/day); and
CF1 = weight unit conversion factor (1 x 10[-6] g/ug).

and

	SRt = AR * FS * (1-FD)t * CF2 * CF3 * CF4 	

where:

SRt = soil residue on day "t" (ug/g);
AR = application rate (lbs ai/ft[2] or lb ai/acre);
FS = fraction of ai available in uppermost cm of soil (fraction/cm);
FD = fraction of residue that dissipates daily (unitless);
T = post-application day on which exposure is being assessed;
CF2 = weight unit conversion factor (4.54 x 10[8] ug/lb);
CF3 = area unit conversion factor (1.08 x 10[-3] ft[2]/cm2 or 2.47 x 10[-8] acre/cm[2]); and
CF4 = soil volume to weight unit conversion factor (0.67 cm[3]/g soil).

Dose, normalized to body weight, are calculated as:

	 	

where:
	D	=	dose (mg/kg-day);
	E	=	exposure (mg/day); and
	BW	=	body weight (kg).

Post-application Dermal Exposure Algorithm  -  Mowing
Exposure resulting from contacting previously treated turf while mowing is calculated as follows:

	E = TTRt * CF1 * TC * ET 	

where:

E = exposure (mg/day);
TTRt  = turf transferable residue on day "t" (ug/cm[2]);
CF1 = weight unit conversion factor (0.001 mg/ug);
TC  = transfer coefficient (cm[2]/hr); and
ET  = exposure time (hr/day).

and

	TTRt = AR * FAR * (1-FD)t * CF2 * CF3 	

where:

TTRt  = turf transferable residue on day "t" (ug/cm[2]);
AR = application rate (lbs ai/ft[2] or lb ai/acre);
FAR = fraction of ai retained on turf (unitless);
FD = fraction of residue that dissipates daily (unitless);
t = post-application day on which exposure is being assessed;
CF2= weight unit conversion factor (4.54 x 10[8] ug/lb); and
CF3 = area unit conversion factor (1.08 x 10[-3] ft[2]/cm[2] or 2.47 x 10[-8] acre/cm[2]).

Absorbed dose, normalized to body weight, are calculated as:

	 	
where:
      D	= dose (mg/kg-day);
      E	= exposure (mg/day); 
      AF	= absorption factor (dermal); and
      BW	= body weight (kg).
