Tolerance Crop Grouping Program V

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing revisions to its pesticide tolerance crop 
grouping regulations, which allow the establishment of tolerances for 
multiple related crops based on data from a representative set of 
crops. EPA is proposing to revise one commodity definition, add three 
new commodity definitions, and amend the current herbs and spices crop 
group currently provided in Crop Group 19. The crops in the current 
``Crop Group 19: Herbs and Spices Group'' will be separated into two 
new crop groups, ``Crop Group 25: Herb Group'' and ``Crop Group 26: 
Spice Group.'' Once final, these revisions will increase the utility 
and benefit of the crop grouping system for producers and other 
stakeholders involved in commercial agriculture. This is the fifth in a 
series of planned crop group updates expected to be prepared over the 
next several years.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 28, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Legal Authority

    EPA is initiating this rulemaking to amend the existing crop 
grouping regulations under section 408(e)(1)(C) of the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which authorizes EPA to establish 
``general procedures and requirements to implement [section 408].'' 21 
U.S.C. 346a(e)(1)(C). Under section 408 of the FFDCA, EPA is authorized 
to establish tolerances for pesticide chemical residues in food. EPA 
establishes tolerances for each pesticide based on the potential risks 
to human health posed by that pesticide. A tolerance is the maximum 
permissible residue level established for a pesticide in raw 
agricultural commodities and processed foods. The crop group 
regulations currently in 40 CFR 180.40 and 180.41 enable the 
establishment of tolerances for a group of crops based on residue data 
for certain crops that are representative of the group.

B. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an 
agricultural producer or food manufacturer. The following list of North

II. Background

A. Tolerance-Setting Requirements and Petitions From the Interregional 
Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) To Expand the Existing Crop Grouping 
System

    EPA is authorized to establish tolerances, which are the maximum 
levels of pesticide chemical residues that may be in or on food 
commodities, under section 408 of the FFDCA (21 U.S.C. 346a). EPA 
establishes pesticide tolerances only after determining that aggregate 
exposure to the pesticide is considered safe. The United States Food 
and Drug Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture 
(USDA) enforce compliance with tolerance limits.
    Traditionally, tolerances are established for a specific pesticide 
and commodity combination. However, under EPA's crop grouping 
regulations (40 CFR 180.40 and 180.41), a single tolerance may be 
established that applies to a group of related commodities. For 
example, ``Crop Group 26: Spice Group'' is proposed to include 166 
commodities. Crop group tolerances may be established based on residue 
data from designated representative commodities within the group. 
Representative commodities are selected based on EPA's determination 
that they are likely to bear the maximum level of residue that could 
occur on any crop within the group. Using the same example, the 
proposed representative commodities for Crop Group 26 is a choice of 
either celery seed or dill seed. Once a crop group tolerance is 
established, the tolerance level applies to all commodities within the 
group.
    This proposed rule is the fifth in a series of planned crop group 
amendments expected to be completed over the next several years. The 
previous four crop group amendment rules were finalized on December 7, 
2007 (72 FR 69150); December 8, 2010 (75 FR 76284); August 22, 2012 (77 
FR 50617); and May 3, 2016 (81 FR 26471) (Refs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, 
respectively). Specific information and details regarding the history 
of the crop group regulations, the previous amendments to the 
regulations, and the process for amending crop groups can be found in 
the Federal Register of May 23, 2007 (Ref. 5) and in the docket for 
this action under docket identifier EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0766 at http://regulations.gov. Specific information regarding how the Agency 
implements crop group amendments can be found in 40 CFR 180.40(j).
    The proposed changes identified in this action have been informed 
by a petition developed by the International Crop Grouping Consulting 
Committee (ICGCC) workgroup and submitted to EPA by a nation-wide 
cooperative project, the Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4) 
(Ref. 6). This petition and the supporting monographs, as well as EPA's 
analyses of the petitions (Refs. 7, 8, and 9), are included in the 
docket for this action. Additional petitions seeking amendments and 
changes to the crop grouping regulations (40 CFR 180.40 and 180.41) 
from the ICGCC workgroup and IR-4 have been submitted and are being 
evaluated by EPA.

B. Regulatory Burden Reductions and Cost Savings Achieved Through the 
Expansion of the Existing Crop Grouping System

    In 2007, EPA prepared an Economic Analysis (EA) of the potential 
costs and benefits associated with the first proposed rule issued in 
this series of updates, entitled ``Economic Analysis Proposed Expansion 
of Crop Grouping Program'' (Ref. 10). EPA considers the findings of the 
2007 EA to apply to each subsequent crop group rulemaking, including 
this proposal, due to the similarity in purpose and scope of each of 
those rulemakings.
    As discussed in the 2007 EA, EPA believes that crop grouping 
rulemakings are burden-reducing and cost-saving regulations. However, 
the impacts in the 2007 EA were measured primarily on a qualitative 
basis. For example, the crop grouping rules provide for greater sharing 
of data by permitting the results from a magnitude of residue field 
trial studies in one crop to be applied to other, similar crops. The 
primary beneficiaries are minor crop producers and pesticide 
registrants. Minor crop producers benefit because lower registration 
costs will encourage more products to be registered on minor crops, 
providing additional tools (i.e., pesticides) for pest control. 
Pesticide registrants are expected to benefit as expanded markets for 
pesticide products will lead to increased sales. Additionally, the IR-
4, which is publicly funded, is also expected to benefit from this rule 
as it will help IR-4 use its resources more efficiently in its

[[Page 44806]]

efforts to ensure that minor or specialty crop growers have access to 
legal, registered uses of essential pest management tools such as 
pesticides and biopesticides. The Agency is also expected to benefit 
from broader operational efficiency gains, which result from fewer 
emergency pesticide use requests from specialty crop growers, the 
ability to conduct risk assessment based on crop groupings, greater 
ease of establishing import tolerances, greater capacity to assess 
risks of pesticides used on crops not grown in the United States, 
further harmonization of crop classification and nomenclature, 
harmonized commodity import and export standards, and increased 
potential for resource sharing between EPA and other pesticide 
regulatory agencies.
    While the 2007 EA provides a qualitative assessment of the benefits 
of the crop grouping rulemaking activities, EPA has developed a new 
burden reduction and cost savings assessment specific to the crop group 
amendments proposed in this rule, entitled ``Burden Reduction from the 
Proposed Expansion of Crop Grouping Program'' (Ref. 11). Although there 
are several uncertainties in the evaluation, for this proposed rule, 
EPA estimates that the cost savings from these proposed amendments to 
be approximately $55.1 million annually. The Agency estimates that the 
cost savings from creating the new herb group and expanding the 
commodities within it to be approximately $38.4 million annually. The 
Agency also estimates that the cost savings from the creation of a new 
spice group and the expansion of the commodities within it to be 
approximately $16.7 million annually.
    While EPA's proposal estimates cost savings of $55.1 million, these 
estimates are based solely on the number of field trials potentially 
avoided by the crop grouping amendments being proposed. This limitation 
means that other sources of value to society, such as making it easier 
to register pesticides for minor herb or spice crop uses, are not 
captured in these estimates. While easier registration of pesticides 
would have value to growers, who would then have access to more means 
of pest control, this benefit is not quantitatively included in the 
value estimated by the reduced cost of field trials. Additionally, 
there is a potential for overestimation when using the value of reduced 
field trial costs to estimate the cost savings of this rule. Many of 
these crops may have never been the subject of a tolerance petition 
that required a field residue trial. Therefore, even if there is a 
demand for a pesticide on one of the herb or spice crops after a 
tolerance is granted, it does not reflect an actual savings, but merely 
a potential savings if a registrant or IR-4 were planning to submit 
field trial residue data to support a tolerance petition.
    EPA's full analysis on the estimated burden reductions and cost 
savings is provided in the docket for this action at regulations.gov 
using Docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0766. EPA welcomes feedback on the 
assumptions made in developing these estimates, as well as any 
additional information that may help the Agency to refine these 
estimates.

C. International Efforts and Considerations

    1. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partner involvement 
in the proposal. EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs' Chemistry Science 
Advisory Council (ChemSAC), an internal Agency peer review committee, 
provided detailed analyses (Ref. 7, 8, and 9) for each proposed crop 
group to IR-4, Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), and 
the government of Mexico for their review and comment, and invited 
these parties to participate in the ChemSAC meeting to finalize the 
recommendations for each petition. The results of the ChemSAC meeting 
finalizing the recommendations for proposal in this action are provided 
in the docket (Ref. 12).
    PMRA has indicated that it will, in parallel with the United States 
effort and under the authority of Canada's Pest Control Products (PCP) 
Act (2002), establish equivalent crop groups. Additionally, once the 
new crop groups become effective in the United States, Mexico will have 
them as a reference for the establishment of maximum residue limits 
(MRLs) in Mexico.
    2. Relationship of proposal to Codex activities. When Codex 
establishes MRLs for a pesticide chemical residue and EPA is not 
establishing tolerances at that same level, section 408 of the FFDCA 
calls for EPA to provide an explanation for its reasons for departing 
from that Codex level. In implementing this provision, EPA works to 
harmonize tolerance determinations with a Codex MRL whenever possible. 
This activity facilitates free trade and international movement of 
United States-produced goods. Further, since Canada is a key trading 
partner for United States agriculture, EPA also works closely with the 
Canadian pesticide registrar and similarly works to establish 
harmonized pesticide tolerance levels with Canada. Both Canada and 
Codex have adopted their own crop group schemes that are synchronized 
with and complement the efforts and goals of the crop grouping 
rulemaking efforts.
    3. Policy for establishing import tolerances for individual spices. 
While not directly related to the proposed crop groups, this paragraph 
summarizes a recent EPA policy that relates to establishing ``import 
tolerances'' for spice commodities. In 2017, EPA instituted a policy of 
establishing ``import tolerances'' for pesticide residues based on 
monitoring data as a substitute for crop field trial residue data (Ref. 
13). Because most spices are not grown in the United States, getting 
data from domestic field trials to support the establishment of 
tolerances for individual spices grown primarily overseas or the 
current spice subgroup is extremely unlikely. Establishing individual 
tolerances for pesticide residues on imported spices using monitoring 
data is consistent with current Codex practice and is expected to 
adequately cover pesticide residues in spices moving through the 
channels of trade. It should be noted, however, that data on the 
representative commodity of either dill seed or celery seed would still 
be necessary to support the establishment of a group 26 tolerance.

D. Scheme for Organization of Revised and Pre-Existing Crop Groups

    EPA has amended the generic crop group regulations to include an 
explicit scheme for how revised crop groups will be organized in the 
regulations.
    In brief, the current regulations at Sec.  180.40(j) specify that 
when a crop group is amended in a manner that expands or contracts its 
coverage of commodities, EPA will retain the pre-existing crop group in 
40 CFR180.41 and insert the new, related crop group immediately after 
the pre-existing crop group in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). 
Although EPA will initially retain pre-existing crop groups that have 
been superseded by new crop groups, 40 CFR180.41(j) states that EPA 
will not establish new tolerances under the pre-existing groups and 
that EPA will convert tolerances for any pre-existing crop groups to 
tolerances with the coverage of the new crop group. Conversions to 
revised crop groups are being implemented through the registration 
review process and in the course of establishing new tolerances for a 
pesticide.
    As explained in Unit III.A., EPA believes it would benefit growers 
of herbs and spices to create two completely new and separate crop 
groups rather than to follow the 40 CFR180.41(j) process to create new 
crop

[[Page 44807]]

group 19-19 for Herbs and Spices. As a result, the proposal to separate 
Crop Group 19 into Crop Groups 25 and 26, as discussed in Unit III, 
does not fully follow the process described in Sec.  180.40(j). The 
current process does not adequately address the separation of an 
existing crop group into two or more crop groups in order to expand and 
clarify the coverage of commodities, nor do the proposals follow the 
naming or numbering conventions established in 40 CFR180.40(j). 
Therefore, to recognize that different processes may be appropriate in 
situations where an existing crop group may need to be separated into 
two or more distinct crop groups, EPA is proposing to revise paragraph 
(j) to outline how it intends to implement these types of crop group 
amendments.

III. Specific Proposed Revisions

    This unit explains the proposed amendments to the crop group 
regulations.

A. Separation of Herbs and Spices in Crop Group 19: Herbs and Spices

    EPA is proposing to separate the current ``Crop Group 19: Herbs and 
Spices Group'' into two separate crop groups, which will be the 
proposed ``Crop Group 25: Herb Group'' and ``Crop Group 26: Spice 
Group.'' Proposed Crop Groups 25 and 26 are discussed in more detail in 
the following sections of this unit. In accordance with the process 
outlined in 40 CFR180.40(j), Crop Group 19 will be retained in the CFR 
until all the tolerances for the pre-existing Crop Group 19 and its 
associated subgroups have been updated to comply with the newly 
proposed crop groups.
    Separating the current herbs and spices crop group into a separate 
herb crop group and a spice crop group will benefit herb and spice 
growers. Combining the two sets of commodities together and requiring 
residue data on both herb and spice representative commodities has 
limited the establishment of Crop Group 19 tolerances because herb 
growers do not want to or cannot develop residue data on the spice 
representative commodities and vice versa for spice growers. Separating 
these groups will benefit herb growers by allowing them to submit 
representative crop data that reflects the commodities they produce and 
similarly, the separation will benefit spice growers.
    A separate herb crop group and appropriate subgroups will provide a 
benefit to herb growers, as well as botanical herbs grown for medicinal 
purposes, since the representative commodities will only be herbs with 
similar characteristics. Also, a separate crop group for herbs allows 
for the subdivision of dried and fresh herbs into subgroups, which will 
be beneficial to herb growers because of the different practices for 
growing herbs for the fresh market and for the dried markets. As a 
result, these changes will make available new pesticides not previously 
available for crop protection for these herb commodities, and the 
tolerances established under the proposed crop groups and subgroups 
will be a better reflection of their crops. Similarly, a separate spice 
crop group will allow spices to be placed in a crop group that is more 
reflective of their edible parts and will provide a benefit to spice 
growers, as well as botanical spices grown for medicinal purposes, 
since the representative commodities will only be spices with similar 
uses and commonly grown in the United States.
    Finally, separating herbs and spices into two crop groups will also 
help in harmonization with Codex which has two separate crop groups, 
one for herbs and one for spices.

B. Crop Group 25: Herb Group

    EPA is proposing to establish a new crop group, entitled ``Crop 
Group 25: Herb Group.'' The following paragraphs describes this new 
crop grouping in more detail.
    1. Commodities. EPA proposes to include the following 317

    The 317 members of the new Crop Group 25 are proposed based on 
similarities of growth habits as well as herbs being either fresh or 
dried leaves, similar pest problems, sources of essential oil, lack of 
animal feed items, comparison of established tolerances, and for 
international harmonization purposes. This new Crop Group 25 would 
include all the herbs from the current Crop Group 19 with the following 
exceptions:
     Crop Group 19 and the herb subgroup 19A include both fresh 
and dried forms of chive (Allium schoenoprasum) and chive, Chinese 
(Allium tuberosum), whereas the proposed Crop Group 25 and dried herb 
sugroup 25B include only the dried forms of those chives. In 2007, EPA 
determined that pesticide residues on the fresh forms of chives would 
be similar to other bulb vegetable commodities and included them in 
Crop Group 3-07 (Ref. 1). To avoid dual coverage, EPA is removing the 
fresh forms of these chives from the herb group (crop group 25) and 
subgroup 25A.
     Crop Group 19 and the herb subgroup 19A include both the 
fresh

[[Page 44810]]

and dried forms of coriander (cilantro or Chinese parsley leaf) 
(Coriandrum sativum) and dillweed (Anethum graveolens L.), whereas the 
proposed group and herb subgroup 25B include only the dried forms. In 
2016, EPA determined that pesticide residues on the fresh forms of 
these commodities would be similar to other leafy vegetables and 
included them in Crop Group 4-16 (Ref. 4). To avoid dual coverage, EPA 
is removing the fresh forms of these chives from the herb group (crop 
group 25) and subgroup 25A.
     Although Crop Group 19 and herb subgroup 19A list rue 
(Ruta graveolens) as an herb, EPA is proposing to move rue to the new 
spice Crop Group 26. The reason for this modification is that rue is--
due to similar crop growth, harvesting stages, pest pressures, and 
pesticide use patterns--expected to have pesticide residues more 
similar to other spices.
    Adding these herb commodities into a separate herb group will 
benefit growers by enabling the use of pesticides not previously 
available for crop protection. Many minor herb orphan crops have become 
more popular in some countries and areas today than they were at the 
time that Crop Group 19 was established. Increased globalization of 
herbs in cooking in the United States has resulted in additional herbs 
to be enjoyed worldwide. Some of these ``minor'' crops have great 
potential to be grown on a larger scale in some areas in the future due 
to their unique nutritional and medicinal values. Because the demand 
for herbs keeps increasing in the United States, these crops may 
provide local market growers new revenue opportunities for fresh herbs 
with high returns per acre. Also, this crop group regulation will 
facilitate the establishment of pesticide tolerances for numerous 
pesticides that are needed to control a wide diversity of herb pests, 
as well as to develop integrated pest management (IPM) programs to 
incorporate reduced risk pesticides, organic and biopesticides, and 
cultural methods to reduce the development of pesticide resistance.
    Being included in a crop group means that individual tolerances do 
not need to be established for each commodity nor does residue data 
need to be generated for each of the individual commodities. Allowing 
EPA's risk assessments to focus on the representative crop is reliable 
and efficient.
    2. Representative commodities. EPA proposes the following 
commodities as representative commodities for the new Crop Group 25: 
Basil, fresh leaves; mint, fresh leaves; basil, dried leaves; and mint, 
dried leaves. The representative commodities are based on similarities 
to the related commodities within a group or subgroup regarding their 
edible portions, cultural methods, geographical locations, and pest 
problems, as well as considerations based on their high production 
(both acres and yield) and consumption compared to other crops in 
proposed Crop Group 25. Based on EPA's analysis for the proposed Crop 
Group 25, these representative commodities will account for more than 
99% of the harvested United States acres for the members of the new 
crop group (Ref. 7).
    Basil has been a representative commodity for the Crop Group 19 and 
for the herb subgroup 19A since 1995 and has several established 
tolerances. Mint, which will cover all members of the mint (Mentha 
spp.) family including peppermint and spearmint, is replacing chive as 
a representative commodity since it is more widely grown (240,000 
hectares worldwide versus 24,000 hectares worldwide) (Ref 7.), and 
because chive, fresh leaves, are in a different crop group. 
Additionally, both basil and mint are important parts of many cuisines, 
especially European, Mediterranean, Indian and Asian cooking. EPA 
expects that all proposed members of the proposed crop group will have 
similar residue levels based on similarities of the raw agricultural 
commodities (RACs), and comparisons of established tolerances on these 
commodities support that residue levels will cover the wide number of 
commodities.
    3. Crop subgroups. EPA proposes two crop subgroups for the new 
``Crop Group 25: Herb Group'': Subgroup 25A for fresh herbs and 
subgroup 25B for dried herbs. Comparisons of established tolerances 
proposed for the new herb, fresh leaves subgroup 25A and the new herb, 
dried leaves subgroup 25B have shown tolerances for dried herbs are 
often significantly higher (4X to 7.3X) than fresh herbs, indicating a 
need for different tolerances or subgroups for fresh and dried herbs 
(Ref. 7). In addition, fresh herbs are grown in a different way than 
dried herbs. Fresh herbs are grown more like fresh-cut flowers, and a 
high-quality product free of pests is required for their sale. Dried 
herbs, on the other hand, are grown like alfalfa and machine harvested 
with or without insect holes, which is not an issue for their sale. 
Dried herbs also have less storage problems than fresh herbs. 
Additionally, many herbs grown for dietary supplements are prepared in 
their dried forms, and all herb oils are also prepared from dried 
herbs. It is worth noting that 40 CFR180.40(f)(2) allows crop group 
tolerances to be established for processed commodities or fractions of 
commodities, such as ``Herb, subgroup 25B, oil''.
    Most commodities in proposed Crop Group 25 are included in both the 
fresh leaves and dried leaves forms and therefore would be in both 
proposed subgroups. However, there are 38 commodities that are included 
in proposed Crop Group 25 as only the fresh leaves or dried leaves. 
These are discussed briefly below; see Refs. 6--9 for more details.
    For seven commodities, only the dried leaves are included in 
proposed Crop Group 25 because the fresh leaves are already included in 
a different crop group. Pesticide residues on the fresh forms of these 
commodities are expected to be similar to the commodities in another 
crop group than they are to herbs. These seven commodities and the crop 
group the fresh leaves are in are as follows:
     Chervil, Anthriscus cerefolium (L.) Hoffm; Cilantro, 
Coriandrum sativum L. (4-16); Dillweed, Anethum graveolens L.; and 
Parsley, Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Fuss; Petroselinum crispum var. 
neapolitanum Danert in Crop Group 4-16 Leafy Vegetable Group;
     Chive, Allium schoenoprasum L. and Chive, Chinese, Allium 
tuberosum Rottler ex Spreng in Crop Group 3-07 Bulb Vegetable Group; 
and
     Fennel, Florence, fresh leaves and stalk in Crop Group 22 
Stalk, Stem and Leaf Petiole Vegetable Group.
    The other 30 commodities are included in proposed Crop Group 25 
only in the dried leaves form or the fresh leaves form because only one 
form is currently utilized in commerce. For example, some are dietary 
supplements used only in the dried form, while other commodities are 
used in foods as only the fresh or dried form.
     Eleven commodities are included in proposed Crop Group 25 
only in their fresh leaves form: Blue mallow, fresh leaves, Malva 
sylvestris L.; Celandine, greater, fresh leaves, Chelidonium majus L.; 
Celandine, lesser, fresh leaves, Ficaria verna Huds.; Curryplant, fresh 
leaves, Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G. Don; Dokudami, fresh leaves, 
Houttuynia cordata Thunb.; Field pennycress, fresh leaves, Thlaspi 
arvense L.; Gambir, fresh leaves, Uncaria gambir (W. Hunter) Roxb.; 
Honewort, fresh leaves, Cryptotaenia canadensis (L.) DC.; Swamp leaf, 
fresh leaves, Limnophila chinensis (Osbeck) Merr.; Veronica, fresh 
leaves, Veronica officinalis L.; and Waterpepper, fresh leaves, 
Persicaria hydropiper (L.) Delarbre.

[[Page 44811]]

     Nineteen commodities are included in proposed Group 25 
only in their dried leaves form: Butterbur, dried leaves, Petasites 
hybridus (L.) G. Gaertn. Et al., P. frigidus (L.) Fr.; Cat's claw, 
dried leaves, Uncaria tomentosa (Willd.) DC., Uncaria guianensis 
(Aubl.) J.F. Gmel.; Chinese chastetree, dried leaves, Vitex negundo L.; 
Chinese foxglove, dried leaves, Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Steud.; 
Creat, dried leaves, Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Wall. Ex Nees; 
Echinacea, dried leaves, Echinacea angustifolia DC; Eucommia, dried 
leaves, Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.; Galbanum, dried leaves, Ferula gummosa 
Boiss.; Gotu kola, dried leaves, Centella asiatica (L.) Urb.; Gymnema, 
dried leaves, Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) Schult.; Honeybush, dried 
leaves, Cyclopia genistoides (L.) R. Br.; Mamaki, dried leaves, 
Pipturus arborescens (Link) C. B. Rob.; Mulberry, white, dried leaves, 
Morus alba L.; Rooibos, dried leaves, Aspalathus linearis (Burm. f.) R. 
Dahlgren; Squaw vine, dried leaves, Mitchella repens L.; St. John's 
Wort, dried leaves, Hypericum perforatum L.; Stevia, dried leaves, 
Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) Bertoni; Vasaka, dried leaves, Justicia 
adhatoda L.; and Wood betony, dried leaves, Stachys officinalis (L.) 
Trevis.
    EPA is considering revising the herb group and herb subgroups in 
the final rule to include both forms of the 30 commodities listed in 
the two previous paragraphs. Making this change would ensure coverage 
of residues in those other forms in case there are changes in how these 
commodities are used in the future, e.g., if the fresh leaves form is 
used in the future even though only the dried leaves form is used now. 
Recognizing the potential for confusion with pesticide applications to 
fresh and dried herbs, EPA intends, as a separate effort, to take into 
consideration approaches to labeling to ensure that pesticide labels 
clearly describe the list of herbs and their forms on which the 
pesticide can be used. EPA requests comments on including the 30 
commodities in both forms in herb group 25 and its subgroups in the 
final rule.

    4. Commodity definitions. In conjunction with the new Crop Group 
25, EPA proposes three new commodity definitions for basil, edible 
flowers, and mint. In addition, EPA proposes to amend the commodity 
definition for marjoram. These commodity definitions are being proposed 
as specified in the proposed regulatory text to distinguish and define 
the various varieties of basil, edible flowers, marjoram, and mint. 
These proposed commodity definitions, which will be defined in 40 
CFR180.1(g), cover both fresh and dried leaves to be consistent with 
the subgroups in proposed Crop Group 25.
    The proposed basil commodity definition is needed since it is one 
of the proposed representative commodities and includes several types 
of basil species.
    The proposed edible flowers definition is needed because there are 
many flowers that are used as herbs in restaurant cuisine and are 
available at limited times in grocery stores for the consumer. If 
listed separately in Crop Group 25, there would be over 100 additional 
commodities just for their edible flowers.
    The proposed commodity definition for mint is needed since it is 
one of the representative commodities and includes several mint species 
(Mentha spp.), including peppermint and spearmint.
    EPA is also proposing to revise the current commodity definition 
for marjoram. This revision is needed to reflect the proposed Crop 
Group 25 and correct plant species names.

Acacia spp.; White willow, Salix alba L.; Yellow gentian, roots, 
Gentiana lutea L.; and Willow, Salix spp. Also included are cultivars, 
varieties, and hybrids of these commodities.
    Spices are classified based on the specific plant part that is 
edible. Over 2,000 commodities were researched as being members of this 
crop group. The commodities proposed here were selected for this new 
crop group based on similarities of growth habits and edible plant 
parts that are exposed similarly to pesticides, geographical 
distribution, lack of animal feed items, comparison of established 
tolerances, and for international harmonization purposes. All the 
spices currently included in Crop Group 19 are proposed for inclusion 
in this new Crop Group 26.
    Adding these spice commodities into a separate group will benefit 
these growers by enabling the use of pesticides not previously 
available for crop protection. Many minor spice orphan crops have 
become more popular in some countries and areas today than they were at 
the time Crop Group 19 was established. Increased globalization of 
spices in cooking in the United States has resulted in additional 
spices to be enjoyed worldwide. Some of these ``minor'' crops have 
great potential to be grown on a larger scale in some areas in the 
future due to their unique nutritional and medicinal values. Being 
included in a crop group means that individual tolerances do not need 
to be established for each commodity nor does residue data need to be 
generated for each of the individual commodities. Because the demand 
for spices keeps increasing in the United States, these crops may 
provide local market growers new revenue opportunities for spices with 
high returns per acre. Also, allowing EPA's risk assessments to focus 
on the representative crop is reliable and efficient.
    2. Representative commodities. EPA proposes the option of one of 
the following two commodities as the

[[Page 44814]]

representative commodity for the proposed Crop Group 26: Celery seed or 
Dill seed.
    Most spices are not grown in the United States. Black pepper, which 
is one of the representative commodities required for Crop Group 19 and 
for subgroup 19B, is one such commodity that is not grown in the United 
States. Black pepper has therefore become an obstacle to the 
development of tolerances for herbs and spices in Crop Group 19 and for 
spices in subgroup 19B. For this reason, EPA proposes to no longer list 
black pepper as a representative commodity.
    Crop Group 19 and subgroup 19B also provide a choice between celery 
seed or dill seed as one of the representative commodities, and EPA 
proposes to maintain this choice for Crop Group 26. Unlike black 
pepper, celery seed and dill seed are grown in the United States and 
would be significant representative commodities for the proposed Crop 
Group 26. Celery seed and dill seed have similar residue levels based 
on similarities of the raw agricultural commodities, cultural methods, 
pest problems, and exposure to pesticide sprays. The proposed 
representative commodities also cover over 99% of the total spice 
production areas in the United States, and they also tend to be an 
equal or more conservative estimate of tolerances and potential 
residues (Ref. 8). Therefore, EPA is proposing that the representative 
commodities for proposed Crop Group 26 be a choice between celery seed 
or dill seed.
    3. No subgroups in new Crop Group 26. EPA proposes not to establish 
subgroups in new Crop Group 26. As stated previously, most spices are 
not grown in the United States. Crop subgroups for spices would not be 
beneficial because of the low acreage of these crops and their 
inability to be readily grown in the United States, with the exception 
of dill seed and celery seed. Additionally, since EPA is proposing a 
choice between celery seed or dill seed, testing on only one of these 
representative commodities will support a tolerance for all commodities 
listed in Crop Group 26, negating the need for subgroups at this time.

D. Other Changes

1. Revisions to 180.40(j)
    As noted in Unit II.D., EPA is proposing to amend paragraph (j) to 
update the crop group revision process to include the current approach 
being taken in this rulemaking. For this rulemaking, EPA is proposing 
to amend the single Crop group 19 by splitting it into two new separate 
crop groups using different names and different numbers--i.e., 
commodities in ``Herbs and Spices, group 19'' would be separated into 
two new crop groups: ``Herbs, group 25'' and ``Spices, group 26''. 
EPA's proposed amendment to paragraph (j) recognizes this process for 
revising crop groups.
    The rest of the process mirrors the current process in 40 
CFR180.41(j), where EPA would: (1) No longer establish tolerances under 
the pre-existing crop group; (2) amend tolerances for the pre-existing 
crop group to conform them to the revised crop group at appropriate 
times; and (3) remove the pre-existing crop group from the CFR once all 
the tolerances for the pre-existing crop group have been updated.
    EPA plans to eventually convert tolerances for any pre-existing 
crop groups to tolerances with the coverage of the new crop group. This 
conversion will be implemented through the registration review process 
and in the course of establishing new tolerances for a pesticide. To 
this end, EPA requests that petitioners for tolerances address this 
issue in their petitions once this crop group rule is finalized.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was 
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735; October 4, 1993) 
and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling 
Regulatory Costs

    This action is expected to be an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory 
action. Details on the estimated cost savings of this proposed rule can 
be found in EPA's analysis of the potential

[[Page 44815]]

costs and benefits associated with this action.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose any new information collection 
requirements that would require additional review or approval by OMB 
under the provisions of PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. However, this 
action is expected to reduce mandatory paperwork due to a reduction in 
required studies. This action will also have the effect of reducing the 
number of residue chemistry studies because fewer representative crops 
would need to be tested under a crop grouping scheme than would 
otherwise be required.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In 
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant 
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no 
net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small 
entities subject to the rule. This proposed action provides regulatory 
relief and regulatory flexibility. The new crop groups ease the process 
for pesticide manufacturers to obtain pesticide tolerances on greater 
numbers of crops. Pesticides will be more widely available to growers 
for use on crops, particularly specialty crops. Rather than having any 
adverse impact on small businesses, this proposal would relieve 
regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in 
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect 
small governments. This action imposes no enforceable duty on any 
state, local or tribal governments or the private sector.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255), August 4, 1999). It will not have 
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between 
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Thus, 
Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13175 (62 FR 19985, April 23, 1997) because it will not 
have any effect on tribal governments, on the relationship between the 
Federal Government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 
power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian 
tribes. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental 
health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may 
disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ``covered 
regulatory action'' in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This 
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not 
concern an environmental health risk or safety risk.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, 
May 22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order 12866, nor does it affect energy supply, distribution 
or use.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    This action does not involve technical standards that would require 
consideration of voluntary concensus standards pursuant to NTTAA 
section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 note.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    This action does not involve special consideration of environmental 
justice related issues as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 
7629, February 16, 1994), because this action does not address human 
health or environmental risks or otherwise have any disproportionate 
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, 
low-income or indigenous populations.

3. Amend Sec.  180.40 by revising paragraph (j) to read as follows:

Sec.  180.40  Tolerances for crop groups.

* * * * *
    (j)(1) When EPA amends a crop group in a manner that expands or 
contracts the commodities that are covered by the group, EPA will 
initially retain the pre-existing as well as the revised crop group in 
the CFR.
    (2) Where the revised crop group has the same number as the pre-
existing crop group, the revised crop group number will be followed by 
a hyphen and the final two digits of the year in which it was 
established (e.g., if Crop Group 1 is amended in 2007, the revised 
group will be designated as Crop Group 1-07). If the pre-existing crop 
group had crop subgroups, these subgroups will be numbered in a similar 
fashion in the revised crop group. The name of the revised crop group 
will not be changed from the pre-existing crop group unless the 
revision so changes the composition of the crop group that the pre-
existing name is no longer accurate.
    (3) Where EPA amends a crop group by creating one or more different 
crop groups, the revised crop groups will have different numbers and 
names (e.g., the amendment of Crop Group 19 through the creation of 
Crop Groups 25 and 26). The pre-existing crop group will be amended to 
identify the revised crop group(s).
    (4) Once a revised crop group is established, EPA will no longer 
establish tolerances under the pre-existing crop group. At appropriate 
times, EPA will amend tolerances for crop groups that have been 
superseded by revised crop groups to conform the pre-existing crop 
group to the revised crop group. Once all of the tolerances for the 
pre-existing crop group have been updated, the pre-existing crop group 
will be removed from the CFR.
