II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of October 13, 2006 (71 FR 198) (FRL-8096-
2), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of the FFDCA, 21 
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 
6G7089) by E I. DuPont de Nemours and Company, DuPont Crop Protection, 
1090 Elkton Road, Newark, Delaware 19711. The petition requested that 
40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of 
the insecticide chlorantraniliprole, 3-bromo-N-[4-chloro-2-methyl-6-
[(methylamino)carbonyl]phenyl]-1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-
carboxamide, in or on apple at 0.3 parts per million (ppm), apple, 
celery at 7.0 ppm, cucumber at 0.09 ppm, lettuce, head at 4.0 ppm, 
lettuce, leaf at 7.5 ppm, pear at 0.30 ppm, pepper at 0.50 ppm, spinach 
at 13.0 ppm, squash at 0.25 ppm, tomato at 0.30 ppm and watermelon at 
0.20 ppm. This notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by 
E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company, DuPont Crop Protection, the 
registrant, which has been included in the public docket. Several 
comments were received from a private citizen on objecting to pesticide 
body load, IR-4 profiteering, animal testing, and other related 
matters. The Agency has received these same comments from this 
commenter on numerous previous occasions. Refer to the Federal Register 
of June 30, 2005 (70 FR 37686) (FRL-7718-3), January 7, 2005 (70 FR 
1354) (FRL-7691-4), and October 29, 2004 69 FR 63096 for the Agency's 
response to these objections.
    These temporary tolerances will permit the marketing of the above 
raw agricultural commodities when treated in accordance with the 
provisions of the experimental use permits 352-EUP-170, and 353-EUP-
171, which are being issued under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, 
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended (7 U.S.C. 136).
    The scientific data reported and other relevant material were 
evaluated, and it was determined that establishment of these temporary 
tolerances will protect the public health. Therefore, these temporary 
tolerances have been established on the condition that the pesticide be 
used in accordance with the experimental use permits. The tolerances 
will expire on May 1, 2010.
    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of the FFDCA allows EPA to establish a 
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a 
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section 
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is 
a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure 
to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary 
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable 
information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in 
residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure. 
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of the FFDCA requires EPA to give special 
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide 
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there 
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and 
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. . . 
.''
    EPA performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from 
aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. For further discussion of the 
regulatory requirements of section 408 of the FFDCA and a complete 
description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/1997/November/Day-26/p30948.htm
.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of the FFDCA, EPA has reviewed 
the available scientific data and other relevant information in support 
of this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to 
make a determination on aggregate exposure, consistent with section 
408(b)(2) of the FFDCA , for tolerances for residues of 
chlorantraniliprole on apple at 0.25 ppm, apple, wet pomace at 0.60 
ppm, celery at 7.0 ppm, cucumber at 0.10 ppm, lettuce, head at 4.0 ppm, 
lettuce, leaf at 8.0 ppm, pear at 0.30 ppm, pepper at 0.50 ppm, spinach 
at 13.0 ppm, squash at 0.40 ppm, tomato at 0.30 ppm and watermelon at 
0.20 ppm. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with 
establishing the tolerance follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its 
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of 
the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered 
available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities 
of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and 
children. Specific information on the studies received and the nature 
of the toxic effects caused by chlorantraniliprole as well as the no-
observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-
effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at 
http://www.regulations.gov in Docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0800.

B. Toxicological Endpoints

    For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no 
appreciable risk, the dose at which NOAEL from the toxicology study 
identified as appropriate for use in risk assessment is used to 
estimate the toxicological level of concern (LOC). However, the LOAEL 
of concern are identified is sometimes used for risk assessment if no 
NOAEL was achieved in the toxicology study selected. An uncertainty 
factor (UF) is applied to reflect uncertainties inherent in the 
extrapolation from laboratory animal data to humans and in the 
variations in sensitivity among members of the human population as well 
as other unknowns.

[[Page 27454]]

    The linear default risk methodology (Q*) is the primary method 
currently used by the Agency to quantify non-threshold hazards such as 
cancer. The Q* approach assumes that any amount of exposure will lead 
to some degree of cancer risk, estimates risk in terms of the 
probability of occurrence of additional cancer cases. More information 
can be found on the general principles EPA uses in risk 
characterization at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/health/human.htm.

    A summary of the toxicological endpoints for chlorantraniliprole 
used for human risk assessment can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in 

Docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0800.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. Chlorantraniliprole is 
a new active ingredient and tolerances have not been established. A 
risk assessment was conducted by EPA to assess dietary exposures from 
chlorantraniliprole in food (from crops treated under the experimental 
permits) as follows:
    i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk 
assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide if a toxicological 
study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring 
as a result of a one day or single exposure. Acute dietary (food and 
drinking water) exposure assessments were conducted for 
chlorantraniliprole using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model (DEEM-
FCID), and reflect the proposed uses on apple, celery, cucumber, head 
and leaf lettuce, pear, pepper, spinach, squash, tomato and watermelon 
crops. The modeled exposure estimates are based on tolerance level 
residues (calculated using the maximum residue level calculator) 
assuming 100% of crops are treated and surface water estimated drinking 
water concentrations (EDWCs) (because surface water EDWCs were higher 
than ground water EDWCs).
    ii. Chronic exposure. Chronic dietary (food and drinking water) 
exposure assessments were conducted for chlorantraniliprole using the 
DEEM-FCID), and reflect the proposed uses on apple, celery, cucumber, 
head and leaf lettuce, pear, pepper, spinach, squash, tomato and 
watermelon crops. The modeled exposure estimates are based on tolerance 
level residues (calculated using the maximum residue level calculator) 
assuming 100% of crops are treated and surface water estimated drinking 
water concentrations (EDWCs) (because surface water EDWCs were higher 
than ground water EDWCs).
    iii. Cancer. Long-term exposure is not expected to result from use 
under these Experimental Use Permits (EUPs). The submitted subchronic 
studies in mice, dog and rats, and the in vivo and in vitro 
genotoxicity studies, identified no tumors or preneoplastic foci, nor 
did they identify mutagenic concern. Therefore, the expected short/
intermediate-term exposure resulting from the EUPs does not indicate a 
concern for carcinogenicity.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. Clorantraniliprole is an 
unregistered chemical, thus, the Agency lacks sufficient monitoring 
data to complete a comprehensive dietary exposure analysis and risk 
assessment for chlorantraniliprole in drinking water. Because the 
Agency does not have comprehensive monitoring data, drinking water 
concentration estimates are made by reliance on simulation or modeling 
taking into account data on the physical characteristics of 
chlorantraniliprole. Further information regarding EPA drinking water 
models used in pesticide exposure assessment can be found at http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/index.htm
.

    Based on the EPA's pesticide root zone model/exposure analysis 
modeling system (PRZM/EXAMS) and screening concentration in groundwater 
(SCI-GROW) models, the estimated environmental concentrations (EECs) of 
chlorantraniliprole for acute exposures are estimated to be 14 ppb for 
surface water and 0.38 ppb for ground water. The EECs for chronic 
exposures are estimated to be 2.3 ppb for surface water and 0.38 for 
ground water.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is 
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary 
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control, 
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets).
    Chlorantraniliprole is not registered for use on any sites that 
would result in residential exposure.
    4. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of 
toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of the FFDCA requires that, when 
considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the 
Agency consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative 
effects of a particular pesticide's residues and`` other substances 
that have a common mechanism of toxicity.''
    Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a cumulative 
risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, EPA has not made 
a common mechanism of toxicity finding as to chlorantraniliprole and 
any other substances and chlorantraniliprole does not appear to produce 
a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of 
this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has not assumed that 
chlorantraniliprole has a common mechanism of toxicity with other 
substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which 
chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the 
cumulative effects of such chemicals, see the policy statements 
released by EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs concerning common 
mechanism determinations and procedures for cumulating effects from 
substances found to have a common mechanism on EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative/
.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408 of the FFDCA provides that EPA shall 
apply an additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children 
in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal 
toxicity and the completeness of the data base on toxicity and exposure 
unless EPA determines that a different margin of safety will be safe 
for infants and children. Margins of safety are incorporated into EPA 
risk assessments either directly through use of a margin of exposure 
(MOE) analysis or through using uncertainty (safety) factors in 
calculating a dose level that poses no appreciable risk to humans.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There were no effects on 
fetal growth or development up to the limit dose of 1,000 milligrams 
killogram day (mg/kg/day) in rats or rabbits. There were no treatment 
related effects on the numbers of litters, fetuses (live or dead), 
resorptions, sex ratio, or post-implantation loss. There were no 
effects on fetal body weights, skeletal ossification, and external, 
visceral, or skeletal malformations or variations.
    3. Conclusion. Due to the following, the FQPA Safety Factor does 
not need to be retained at this time:
    The toxicology database is complete for the characterization of 
potential prenatal and postnatal risks to infants and children. No 
susceptibility was identified in the toxicological data base, and there 
are no residual uncertainties re: prenatal and/or postnatal exposure 
(i.e., the developmental and reproduction studies report no adverse 
effects related to treatment >= 1,000 mg/kg/day limit dose). Therefore, 
a degree of concern analysis for prenatal and/or postnatal 
susceptibility is not necessary.
    Highly conservative dietary (food and water) exposure estimates are 
at least 60,000 times lower than the highest

[[Page 27455]]

dose tested in the mammalian toxicity studies (at which no adverse 
observed effects were seen).

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    1. Acute/chronic risk. Aggregating routes and/or pathways of 
exposure is not relevant, since no hazard was identified via any route 
of exposure in the EUP toxicology data base.
    2. Short/Intermediate-term risk. Chlorantraniliprole is not 
registered for use on any sites that would result in short and 
intermediate residential exposure and therefore no risk assessment was 
conducted for this scenario.
    3. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Long-term exposure is 
not expected to result from use under these EUPs. The submitted 
subchronic studies in mice, dog and rats, and the in vivo and in vitro 
genotoxicity studies, identified no tumors or preneoplastic foci, nor 
did they identify mutagenic concern.
    4. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA 
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result 
to the general population, and to infants and children from aggregate 
exposure to chlorantraniliprole residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    LC/MS/MS methods are available for measuring chlorantraniliprole in 
plants and livestock. The registrant submitted an LC/MS/MS method for 
the determination of chlorantraniliprole in plants, and an LC/MS/MS 
method for the determination of chlorantraniliprole and its metabolites 
in livestock.
    Adequate method and concurrent recovery data were provided for the 
plant LC/MS/MS method, and the fortification levels used in the method 
and concurrent validation are adequate to bracket the residue levels 
determined in the proposed crops. An analytical method for enforcing 
tolerances in livestock commodities is not germane to this EUP as 
tolerances in meat, milk, poultry and eggs are not required.

B. International Residue Limits

    There are currently no established Codex, Canadian, or Mexican MRLs 
for chlorantraniliprole.

C. Conditions

    None.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, time-limited tolerances are established for residues of 
chlorantraniliprole, 3-bromo-N-[4-chloro-2-methyl-6-
[(methylamino)carbonyl]phenyl]-1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-
carboxamide, in or on apple at 0.25 ppm, apple, wet pomace at 0.60 ppm, 
celery at 7.0 ppm, cucumber at 0.10 ppm, lettuce, head at 4.0 ppm, 
lettuce, leaf at 8.0 ppm, pear at 0.30 ppm, pepper at 0.50 ppm, spinach 
at 13.0 ppm, squash at 0.40 ppm, tomato at 0.30 ppm and watermelon at 
0.20 ppm. These tolerances will expire on May 1, 2010.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408(d) of 
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from 
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and 
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this rule has been 
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this rule is not 
subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, 
May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children 
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 
23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections 
subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations 
under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address 
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income 
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis 
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in 
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the 
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et 
seq.) do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food 
handlers and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this action 
alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities 
established by Congress in the preemption provisions of section 
408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that this action 
will not have a substantial direct effect on States or tribal 
governments, on the relationship between the national government and 
the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the 
Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined 
that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 
10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6, 
2000) do not apply to this rule. In addition, This rule does not impose 
any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under 
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 
104-4).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would 
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant 
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 
note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to 
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report 
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, 
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the 
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal 
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 
U.S.C. 804(2).
