The
HED
of
the
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs
(
OPP)
is
charged
with
estimating
the
risk
to
human
health
from
exposure
to
pesticides.
The
RD
of
OPP
has
requested
that
HED
evaluate
hazard
and
exposure
data
and
conduct
dietary,
occupational,
residential,
and
aggregate
exposure
assessments,
as
needed,
to
estimate
the
risk
to
human
health
that
will
result
from
all
registered
and
proposed
uses
of
spinosad.
A
summary
of
these
findings
is
provided
in
this
document.
The
risk
assessment,
residue
chemistry
review,
and
dietary
exposure
assessment
were
provided
by
Tom
Bloem
of
RAB1;
the
hazard
characterization
was
provided
by
PV
Shah
of
RAB1;
the
occupational/
residential
exposure
and
risk
assessment
was
provided
by
Mark
Dow
of
RAB1;
and
the
drinking
water
assessment
was
provided
by
Ronald
Parker
of
the
Environmental
Fate
and
Effects
Division
(
EFED).

NOTE:
In
2002,
HED
completed
a
Section
3
risk
assessment
for
the
application
of
spinosad
to
herbs,
peanut,
caneberry,
grape,
fig,
and
root
and
tuber
vegetables
(
D284803,
D.
Vogel
et
al.,
15­
Aug­
2002).
The
current
document
contains
only
those
aspects
of
the
risk
assessment
which
are
affected
by
the
addition
of
the
proposed
spinosad
uses.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Background:
Spinosad
is
a
fermentation
product
of
Saccharopolyspora
spinosa,
a
naturally
occurring
soil
organism.
The
product
consists
of
two
related
active
ingredients:
Spinosyn
A
and
Spinosyn
D.
The
two
active
ingredients
differ
by
one
methyl
group
and
are
typically
present
at
an
85:
15
ratio
(
A:
D).
The
registrant
indicated
that
the
extact
mode
of
action
is
not
known
but
is
characterized
by
excitation
of
the
insect
nervous
system,
leading
to
involuntary
muscle
contractions,
prostration
with
tremors,
and
paralysis
(
effects
are
consistent
with
excitation
of
the
nicotinic
acetylcholine
receptors).
Spinosad
is
currently
registered
for
application
to
numerous
crops
with
tolerances
for
the
combined
residues
of
spinosyn
A
and
D
ranging
from
0.01­
200
ppm
(
40
CFR
180.495).

The
Interregional
Research
Project
No.
4
(
IR­
4)
is
requesting
the
following
spinosad
application
scenarios:
foliar
application
to
the
bulb
vegetable
crop
group,
banana,
plantain,
legume
forage,
and
mint;
removal
of
the
feeding
restriction
for
peanut
hay;
foliar
application
to
the
grass
forage,
fodder,
and
hay
group;
reduction
in
the
forage
(
from
7­
14
days
to
3
days),
fodder
(
from
14­
28
days
to
3
days),
and/
or
hay
(
from
14­
28
days
to
3
days)
preharvest
intervals
(
PHIs)
for
sorghum,
milo,
pearl
millet,
proso
millet,
grain
amaranth,
teosinte,
corn
(
field,
sweet,
popcorn,
and
seed
corn),
and
small
grains
(
wheat,
barley,
rye,
oats,
and
triticale);
and
application
to
all
crops
for
control
of
fruit
flies.
In
conjunction
with
these
requests,
the
petitioner
is
requesting
the
establishment
of
the
following
tolerances:

Hazard
Assessment:
Spinosad
is
classified
as
Toxicity
Category
III
for
acute
oral
and
dermal
toxicity
and
Toxicity
Category
IV
for
acute
inhalation
toxicity,
primary
eye
irriatation,
and
primary
skin
irritation.
It
is
not
a
dermal
sensitizer.
No
dermal
toxicity
was
seen
at
the
limit
dose
in
a
21­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
in
rabbits.
For
subchronic
toxicity,
the
primary
effects
seen
in
the
mouse
were
increased
vacuolation
of
cells
of
the
lymphoid
organs,
liver,
kidney,
stomach,
female
reproductive
tract,
and
epididymis,
and
less
severely
in
the
heart,
lung,
pancreas,
adrenal
cortex,
bone
marrow,
tongue,
pituitary
gland,
and
anemia.
In
rats,
thyroid
follicle
epithelial
cell
vacuolation,
anemia,
multifocal
hepatocellular
granuloma,
cardiomyopathy
and
spleenic
histiocytosis
were
observed.
In
dogs,
microscopic
changes
in
a
variety
of
tissues,
anemia,
and
possible
liver
damage
were
seen.

Spinosad
is
not
a
neurotoxic
agent.
No
neurotoxic
effects
were
seen
at
the
limit
dose
in
an
acute
neurotoxicity
study
in
rats
and
at
doses
up
to
42.7
mg/
kg/
day
in
a
subchronic
neurotoxicity
study.
It
is
negative
for
mutagenicity
in
various
mutagenicity
assays.
It
is
negative
for
carcinogenicity
in
rats
and
mice.
In
a
chronic
feeding
study
in
dogs,
toxicity
signs
such
as
increases
in
serum
alanine
aminotransferase,
aspartate
aminotransferase,
and
triglycerides
levels,
and
the
presence
of
tissue
abnormalities,
including
vacuolated
cell
aggregations,
arteritis,
and
glandular
cell
vacuolation
(
parathyroid)
were
seen.
Vacuolation
of
thyroid
follicular
cells,
increased
absolute
and
relative
thyroid
weights
were
observed
in
a
chronic
oral
toxicity
study
in
rats.
In
mice,
rats
and
dogs,
the
liver,
kidney,
spleen,
heart,
thyroid,
and
bone
marrow
(
anemia)
appeared
to
be
the
target
organs.

No
developmental
effects
were
seen
in
the
rat
and
rabbit
developmental
toxicity
studies.
Decreased
litter
size
and
survival
was
observed
in
the
presence
of
maternal
toxicity
(
deaths)
at
the
highest
dose
tested
(
HDT)
in
a
2­
generation
reproduction
study
in
rats.
Maternal
and
offspring
toxicity
(
deaths)
were
equally
severe,
indicating
no
evidence
of
increased
susceptibility
in
the
2­
generation
reproduction
study
in
rats.

There
were
no
major
differences
in
the
bioavailability,
routes
or
rates
of
excretion
or
metabolism
following
a
single
low,
high
oral,
or
repeated
oral
doses
in
rats.
The
feces
were
the
major
route
of
excretion.
Approximately,
70­
80%
of
the
dose
was
absorbed
with
approximately
20%
of
the
dose
eliminated
unabsorbed
in
the
feces.
The
excreted
metabolites
were
the
glutathione
conjugates
of
the
parent
and
O­
demethylated
Factor
A.
Metabolites
in
the
tissues
were
the
N­
and
O­
demethylated
Factor
A.
Biliary
excretion
was
rapid.
Metabolites
in
the
bile
included
the
glutathione
conjugates
of
the
unchanged
form,
as
well
as
N­
and
O­
demethylated
forms
of
Factor
D.

Dose
Response:
The
HED
Hazard
Identification
Assessment
Review
Committee
(
HIARC)
met
on
22­
January­
1998
(
TXR
No.
012500)
and
11­
July­
2002
(
TXR
No.
0050928)
to
select
endpoints
for
risk
assessment
and
to
evaluate
the
potential
for
increased
susceptibility
of
infants
and
children
from
exposure
to
spinosad
(
evaluated
according
to
the
February
2002
OPP
10X
guidance
document).
HED's
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
(
FQPA)
Safety
Factor
Committee
(
SFC)
met
on
29­
July­
2002
and
recommended
that
the
10x
safety
factor
to
account
for
enhanced
sensitivity
of
infants
and
children
be
reduced
to
1x
(
TXR
No.
0051038).
Based
on
toxicological
considerations
(
evaluated
by
FQPA
SFC)
and
the
residue
assumptions
used
in
the
dietary
and
residential
exposure
analyses
(
evaluated
by
the
risk
assessment
team),
the
risk
assessment
team
concluded
that
the
FQPA
Safety
Factor
should
be
reduced
to
1x
when
assessing
chronic
dietary
and
short­
term
incidental
oral
exposures.

Occupational
Exposure
and
Risk
Assessment:
No
chemical­
specific
data
are
available
with
which
to
assess
potential
exposure
to
pesticide
handlers.
Therefore,
pesticide
handler
exposures
were
calculated
based
upon
surrogate
study
data
available
in
the
Pesticide
Handler's
Exposure
Database
(
PHED;
v.
1.1,
1998).
For
pesticide
handlers,
it
is
HED
policy
to
present
estimates
of
exposure
for
"
baseline;"
that
is,
with
a
single
layer
of
work
clothing
consisting
of
a
long­
sleeved
shirt,
long
pants,
shoes
plus
socks,
and
no
protective
gloves
and
with
a
single
layer
of
work
clothing
and
the
use
of
protective
gloves
or
other
personal
protective
equipment
(
PPE)
as
might
be
necessary.
Since
the
HIARC
only
identified
inhalation
endpoints
(
no
dermal
endpoints
were
identified),
only
inhalation
exposure
assessments
were
conducted.
All
resulting
MOEs
for
handlers
were
>
100,
and
therefore
do
not
exceed
HED's
level
of
concern,
except
for
applicators
using
high­
pressure
hand­
wand
equipment
to
apply
GF­
120
NF
Naturalyte
 
Fruit
Fly
Bait
and
mixer/
loaders
using
open
loading
of
Entrust
 
(
wettable­
powder
(
WP))
in
support
of
aerial
operations.
MOEs
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern
can
be
calculated
provided
the
individuals
performing
these
tasks
wear
an
approved
organic­
vapor
filtering
respirator
(
fruit
fly
bait
application
using
high­
pressure
handwand
applicator)
or
an
approved
dust/
mist
filtering
respirator
(
mixer/
loader
in
support
of
aerial
application
of
the
WP).

Residential
and
Non­
Occupational
Exposure
and
Risk
Assessment:
Spinosad
is
currently
registered
for
use
on
turf
and
ornamentals
to
control
a
variety
of
worms,
moths,
flies,
beetles,
midges,
thrips,
leafminers
and
fire
ants.
Granular
(
homeowner)
and
emulsifiable
concentrate
(
EC;
commercial
applicators)
formulations
are
registered.
Since
no
dermal
endpoints
were
identified
and
based
on
the
granular
formulation
and
low
vapor
pressure
for
spinosad,
residential
handler/
applicator
and
postapplication
dermal/
inhalation
exposure
assessments
were
not
conducted.
HED
concluded
that
there
is
potential
toddler
short­
term
non­
dietary
oral
exposures
(
hand­
to­
mouth,
object­
to­
mouth,
ingestion
of
granulars,
and
soil
ingestion).
Since
HIARC
did
not
identify
an
acute
dietary
endpoint,
episodic
ingestion
of
granulars
was
not
assessed.
The
resulting
combined
short­
term
incidental
oral
MOEs
were
640
and
are
therefore
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern.
HED
concludes
that
all
other
registered/
proposed
application
scenarios
will
not
result
in
residential
exposures.

Dietary
(
food
and
water)
Exposure
and
Risk
Assessment:
Chronic
dietary
risk
assessments
were
conducted
using
the
Dietary
Exposure
Evaluation
Model
­
Food
Consumption
Intake
Database
(
DEEM­
FCID
 
,
ver.
2.03;
acute
and
cancer
endpoints
were
not
identified)
which
incorporates
the
food
consumption
data
from
the
USDA's
Continuing
Surveys
of
Food
Intakes
by
Individuals
(
CSFII;
1994­
1996
and
1998).
The
chronic
dietary
analyses
assumed
average/
projected
percent
crop
treated
estimates,
projected
percent
head
treated
resulting
from
the
dermal
and
premise
treatments
to
ruminants,
average
field
trial
residues,
experimentally
determined
processing
factors,
and
anticipated
livestock
residues.
For
drinking
water,
the
chronic
analyses
assumed
the
modeled
tier
1
FIRST
chronic
surface
water
estimate
resulting
from
the
application
of
spinosad
to
turf
(
highest
registered/
proposed
rate).
The
resulting
exposure
estimates
were
#
96%
the
cPAD
and
are
therefore
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern
(
children
1­
2
years
old
were
the
most
highly
exposed
subpopulation).

Aggregate
Exposure
and
Risk
Assessment:
In
general,
aggregate
exposures
are
calculated
by
summing
dietary
(
food
and
water)
and
residential
exposures
(
residential
or
other
non­
occupational
exposures).
Based
on
the
anticipated
residential
exposure
scenarios
and
since
acute
and
cancer
risk
assessments
are
not
required,
only
short­
term
(
residential,
food,
and
water)
and
chronic
(
food
and
water)
aggregate
exposure
assessments
were
conducted.
Since
the
dietary
analyses
incorporated
drinking
water
estimates,
calculation
of
drinking
water
levels
of
comparison
(
DWLOCs)
are
unnecessary
(
the
dietary
analyses
represent
exposure
from
food
and
water).
Aggregate
short­
term
(
food,
water,
and
residential)
exposures
resulted
in
MOEs
$
150
and
aggregate
chronic
(
food
and
water)
exposures
were
#
96%
the
cPAD;
therefore,
aggregate
exposure
to
spinsoad,
as
a
result
of
all
registered/
proposed
uses,
is
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern.

Recommendations
for
Tolerances/
Registration:
Separate
recommendations
are
written
for
the
fruit
fly
bait
and
foliar
agricultural
petitions.
The
labels
for
both
petitions
propose
a
4­
hour
restricted
reentry
interval
(
REI).
It
appears
that
spinosad
is
eligible
for
a
reduced
REI
as
described
in
the
Pesticide
Regulation
(
PR)
Notice
95­
3
(
7­
June­
1995).
Since
certain
legal
documents
are
required
from
the
registrant
and
it
is
RD's
purview
to
grant
REIs,
HED
defers
to
RD
on
the
issue
of
an
acceptable
REI
for
spinosad.

HAZARD
CHARACTERIZATION
A
detailed
hazard
characterization
for
spinosad
is
presented
in
a
previous
HED
risk
assessment
(
D284803,
D.
Vogel
et
al.,
15­
Aug­
2002).
Please
refer
to
this
document
for
complete
information
concerning
the
hazard
characterization
of
spinosad.

The
HIARC
met
on
22­
January­
1998
(
TXR
No.
012500)
and
11­
July­
2002
(
TXR
No.
0050928)
to
select
endpoints
for
risk
assessment
and
to
evaluate
the
potential
for
increased
susceptibility
of
infants
and
children
from
exposure
to
spinosad
(
evaluated
according
to
the
February
2002
OPP
10X
guidance
document).
The
FQPA
SFC
met
on
29­
July­
2002
and
recommended
that
the
10x
safety
factor
to
account
for
enhanced
sensitivity
of
infants
and
children
be
reduced
to
1x
(
TXR
No.
0051038).
Based
on
toxicological
considerations
(
evaluated
by
FQPA
SFC)
and
the
residue
assumptions
used
in
the
dietary
(
D319957,
T.
Bloem,
24­
Aug­
2005)
and
residential
(
D284802,
M.
Dow
and
D.
Vogel,
15­
Aug­
2002)
exposure
analyses
(
evaluated
by
the
risk
assessment
team),
it
was
concluded
that
the
FQPA
Safety
Factor
should
be
reduced
to
1x
when
assessing
chronic
dietary
and
short­
term
incidental
oral
exposures.

Endocrine
Disruption
EPA
is
required
under
the
FFDCA,
as
amended
by
FQPA,
to
develop
a
screening
program
to
determine
whether
certain
substances
(
including
all
pesticide
active
and
other
ingredients)
"
may
have
an
effect
in
humans
that
is
similar
to
an
effect
produced
by
a
naturally
occurring
estrogen,
or
other
such
endocrine
effects
as
the
Administrator
may
designate."
Following
recommendations
of
its
Endocrine
Disruptor
and
Testing
Advisory
Committee
(
EDSTAC),
EPA
determined
that
there
was
a
scientific
basis
for
including,
as
part
of
the
program,
the
androgen
and
thyroid
hormone
systems,
in
addition
to
the
estrogen
hormone
system.
EPA
also
adopted
EDSTAC's
recommendation
that
the
Program
include
evaluations
of
potential
effects
in
wildlife.
For
pesticide
chemicals,
EPA
will
use
FIFRA
and,
to
the
extent
that
effects
in
wildlife
may
help
determine
whether
a
substance
may
have
an
effect
in
humans,
FFDCA
authority
to
require
the
wildlife
evaluations.
As
the
science
develops
and
resources
allow,
screening
of
additional
hormone
systems
may
be
added
to
the
Endocrine
Disruptor
Screening
Program
(
EDSP).
In
the
available
spinosad
toxicity
studies,
there
was
no
estrogen
or
thyroid
mediated
toxicity.

for
control
of
tephritid
fruit
flies,
to
any
tree,
nut,
vine,
vegetable,
or
food
crop.
Ground
(
directed
to
a
specific
plant
or
broadcast)
and
aerial
applications
are
specified
(
application
through
irrigation
equipment
is
prohibited).
For
aerial
and
most
other
applications,
the
formulated
product
is
to
be
mixed
with
water
at
a
ratio
of
1
part
formulated
product
to
1.5
parts
water
(
v:
v).
For
ground
applications
and
applications
in
low
relative
humidity,
the
product
is
to
be
mixed
with
water
at
a
ratio
of
1
part
formulated
product
to
5
parts
water
(
v:
v).
Ground
applications
are
to
be
directed
to
the
bottoms
of
leaves
and
leaves
inside
the
foliage
canopy
(
reduces
exposure
to
sun
and
rain).
The
label
states
that
large
droplets
sizes
are
necessary
to
obtain
optimum
control
of
insect
pests
(
4000­
6000
:
m)
and
recommends
spray
volumes
of
<
1
gallon/
acre
(
aerial
application
should
use
ultra
low
application
volumes
(
20­
80
droplets/
m2)).
Applications
are
to
begin
as
soon
as
monitoring
traps
indicate
flies
are
present
or
2­
3
weeks
before
fruit
ripens.
Repeat
applications
are
permitted
every
7­
14
days,
shortening
the
application
interval
during
rainy
periods
or
as
the
fruit
ripens.
The
label
does
not
specify
a
PHI.
The
residue
data
submitted
in
support
of
this
petition
was
conducted
with
a
0­
day
PHI;
therefore,
a
PHI
is
unnecessary.
Table

is
a
summary
of
the
proposed

scenarios.
HED
concludes
that
the
proposed
use
directions
are
adequate
and
supported
by
the
available
residue
data.

for
forage
and
indicate
that
hay
and
fodder
may
be
cut
3
days
after
application.
Entrust

S
grass
forage,
fodder,
and
hay
group:
All

Dietary
Exposure/
Risk
Pathway
Nature
of
the
Residue
­
Plants/
Livestock:
The
nature
of
the
residue
in
plants
and
livestock
is
adequately
understood
based
on
metabolism
studies
conducted
with
apples,
cabbage,
cotton,
tomatoes,
turnips,
ruminants,
and
poultry.
The
HED
Metabolism
Assessment
Review
Committee
(
MARC)
determined
that
the
residue
of
concern
in
plants
and
livestock,
for
risk
assessment
and
tolerance
enforcement
purposes,
are
spinosyns
A
and
D
(
D243816,
G.
Herndon,
3­
Mar­
1998).

For
plants,
residue
levels
of
spinosyns
A
and
D
declined
significantly
with
increasing
PHI
(
decreased
40­
89%
as
the
PHI
increased
from
0
to
3
days;
decreased
86%
to
nondetectable
as
the
PHI
increased
from
0
to
10­
48
days).
This
decline
was
accompanied
by
incremental
increases
in
nonextractable
and
polar
14C­
residues.
Extensive
fractionation
and
characterization
of
nonextractable
and
polar
14C­
residues
in
selected
crops
indicated
that
most
of
the
radioactivity
was
degraded
to
multicomponent
residues
of
low
molecular
weight
which
are
subsequently
incorporated
into
natural
plant
constituents
(

However,
the

for

(

Livestock:
Based
on
the
recommended/
established
plant
tolerances,
the
maximum
theoretical
dietary
burdens
(
MTDBs)
for
beef
cattle,
dairy
cattle,

and
poultry
are
89.2
ppm,
83.4
ppm,
41.2

respectively.
The

Provided
the
petitioner
agrees
to
submit
a
cattle

HED
concludes
that
the
livestock

listed
in
Table

for
the
combined

of
spinosyn

and
D
are
appropriate
(
a

HED
notes
that
if
as

field

conducted
in

The
field

were
treated
with
spinosad
at
0.5x,
1.5x,
or
5x
the
proposed
rate
(
samples
were
collected
on
the
day
of

Based
on
these
data,
the
primary
crop
metabolism
studies,
and
since
harvesting
on
the
day
of

is
unlikely,
HED
concludes
that
the
tolerance
listed
in
Table
2,
for
the
combined
residues
of
spinosyn
A
and
D,
is
appropriate
(
a
revised

is
requested).

Livestock:
Based
on
livestock
dietary
burdens
and
livestock
tolerances
recommended
as
result
of
the
foliar

application
scenario,
HED
concludes
that
the
fruit

application
scenario
will
not
have
a
significant
effect
on
the
livestock
dietary
burden
or
the
magnitude
of

Nature/
Magnitude
of
the
Residue
­
Rotational
Crops:
Based
on
the
results
of
a
confined
rotational
crop
study,
the
MARC
concluded
that
the
residues
of
concern
in
rotational
crops
are
spinosyn
A
and
D
(
D243816,
G.
Herndon,
3­
Mar­
1998;
field
rotational
crop
data
have
not
been
submitted).
The
confined
study
was
conducted
at
0.98
lb
ai/
acre
($
2.2x
the
proposed
rates)
and
indicated
that
residues
are
incorporated
into
the
general
carbon
pool.
Spinosyns
A
and
D
were
not
detected
in
the
rotated
crops
(
wheat,
lettuce,
and
radish;
plant­
back
intervals
(
PBIs)
of
30,
120,
and
365
days).
Since
the
confined
study
was
conducted
at
$
2.2x
the
maximum
proposed
rate
and
since
spinosyns
A
and
D
were
not
detected,
HED
concludes
that
no
rotational
crops
restrictions
are
required
for
the
currently­
proposed

4.4
Water
Exposure
and
Risk
Pathway
The
following
is
a
summary
of
information
provided
by
EFED
(
Memo
­
Larry
Liu,
3­
Aug­
2002
and
D310860,
R.
Parker,
14­
Sep­
2005).

Environmental
Fate
Assessment:
Spinosad
and
its
degradates
are
not
very
persistent
and
are
relatively
immobile.
The
potential
for
residues
to
leach
to
groundwater
or
runoff
to
surface
water
is
very
low.
Slow
metabolic
degradation
was
observed
only
in
flooded
sediment
(
half­
lives
161 
250
days
in
the
laboratory,
>
25
days
outdoors).
Transformation
products
(
Factor
B
and
N­
demethyl
spinosad
Factor
D)
are
persistent
in
aerobic
soil
metabolism
studies
(
half­
lives
>
6
months)
and
are
relatively
immobile.

Spinosyn
A
and
D
degrade
in
aerobic
laboratory
soil
with
half­
lives
of
13
and
14
days,
respectively.
They
photodegrade
readily
in
sterile
water
(<
1
day
at
pH
7)
and
soil
(
about
10
days).
Based
on
McCall's
relative
mobility
comparison,
spinosyn
A
has
a
low
to
slight
mobility
in
sandy
soils
and
is
immobile
in
silt
loam
and
clay
loam
soils.
Although
no
mobility
data
have
been
provided
for
Factor
D,
it
is
180x
less
soluble
than
spinosyn
A;
therefore,
spinosyn
D
is
less
likely
to
leach
in
the
soil
or
runoff
to
surface
water.
Spinosad
is
not
volatile
(
vapor
pressures
(
25
°
C)
are
2.0­
3.0
x
10­
11
kPa).
CO
2
is
the
only
volatile
degradate.
In
terrestrial
field
dissipation
studies
on
bareground
plots,
the
estimated
halflife
of
spinosyn
A,
formulated
as
an
EC,
was
0.3­
0.5
days,
and
residues
accounted
for
3.1%
of
the
applied
in
the
runoff
but
did
not
leach.
When
spinosad
was
applied
directly
to
the
water
surface
in
outdoor
aquatic
microcosm
dissipation
studies,
total
spinosad
residues
in
the
water
had
an
observed

half­
life
of
<
1
day.
Page

Spinosad
is
stable
to
hydrolysis
in
pH
5,
7,
and
9
buffer
solutions.
In
flooded
sediment,
spinosad
moves
readily
from
the
water
to
the
solid
phases.
Spinosad
degrades
slowly
in
anaerobic
sediment
with
half­
lives
of
161­
250
days.
Degradation
rates
in
aerobic
sediment
were
not
determined.
In
an
aquatic
microcosm
study,
spinosad
residues
in
the
sediment
peaked
at
8
days
and
had
an
observed
half­
life
of
>
25
days.

The
major
transformation
product
of
spinosyn
A
is
Factor
B
(
N­
demethylated
spinosyn
A).
The
major
transformation
product
of
spinosyn
D
is
N­
demethylated
spinosyn
D.
In
aerobic
soil
metabolism
laboratory
studies
using
the
parent,
both
transformation
products
accumulated
to
>
50%
of
the
applied
by
28
days
and
had
observed
half­
lives
of
>
6
months.
Factor
B
is
relatively
immobile;
no
information
is
available
on
the
mobility
of
N­
demethylated
spinosyn
D.
Neither
transformation
product
was
identified
in
terrestrial
field
dissipation
studies.

Ground
and
Surface
Water
Estimates:
The
HED
MARC
determined
that
the
residue
of
concern
in
water
is
spinosad
per
se
(
D243816,
G.
Herndon,
3­
Mar­
1998).
At
the
present
time,
there
are
no
surface
or
ground
water
spinosad
monitoring
data
available.
Since
the
maximum
single
and
seasonal
application
rates
for
the
proposed
crops
are
much
lower
than
the
currently
registered
turf
application
rate
(
highest
registered/
proposed
rate),
EFED
recommended
using
the
turf
estimated
environmental
concentrations
(
surface
water
(
peak)
­
25.227
ppb;
surface
water
(
chronic;
56­
day
average)
­
2.313
ppb;
ground
water
(
acute
and
chronic)
­
0.037
ppb).
These
estimates
were
generated
using
FIRST
(
surface
water;
tier
1)
and
SCIGROW
(
ground
water
screening
model)
models.
The
turf
surface
water
estimate
is
the
highest
water
value
for
all
of
the
proposed/
registered
spinosad
uses
and
was
therefore
assumed
when
assessing
exposure
to
spinosad
via
drinking
water.

4.5
Dietary­
Exposure
Analysis
Chronic
dietary
risk
assessments
were
conducted
using
the
DEEM­
FCID
 
(
ver.
2.03;
acute
and
cancer
endpoints
were
not
identified)
which
incorporates
the
food
consumption
data
from
the
USDA's
CSFII
(
1994­
1996
and
1998).
The
chronic
dietary
analyses
assumed
average/
projected
percent
crop
treated
estimates,
projected
percent
head
treated
resulting
from
the
dermal
and
premise
treatments
to
ruminants,
average
field
trial
residues,
experimentally­
determined
processing
factors,
and
anticipated
livestock
residues.
For
drinking
water,
the
chronic
analyses
assumed
the
modeled
tier
1
FIRST
chronic
surface
water
estimate
resulting
from
the
application
of
spinosad
to
turf
(
highest
registered/
proposed
rate).
The
resulting
exposure
estimates
were
#
96%
the
cPAD
and
are
therefore
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern.
Table

is

Residential
Exposure
and
Risk
Pathway
Spinosad
is
currently
registered
for
use
on
turf
and
ornamentals
to
control
a
variety
of
worms,
moths,
flies,
beetles,
midges,
thrips,
leafminers
and
fire
ants.
Granular
(
homeowner)
and
EC
(
commercial
applicators)
formulations
are
registered.
Since
no
dermal
endpoints
were
identified
and
based
on
the
granular
formulation
and
low
vapor
pressure
for
spinosad,
residential
handler/
applicator
and
postapplication
dermal/
inhalation
exposure
assessments
were
not
conducted.
HED
concluded
that
there
is
a
potential
for
toddler
short­
term
non­
dietary
oral
exposures
(
hand­
to­
mouth,
object­
to­
mouth,
ingestion
of
granulars,
and
soil
ingestion).
Since
HIARC
did
not
identify
an
acute
dietary
endpoint,
episodic
ingestion
of
granulars
was
not
assessed.
The
resulting
combined
short­
term
incidental
oral
MOEs
were
640
and
are
therefore
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern
(.

HED
notes
that
proposed
fruit
fly
bait
application
scenario
permit's
application
to
non­
crop
vegetation
and
this
use
may
result
in
residential
exposures.
Based
on
the
application
rates
(
fruit
fly
bait
­
0.0003
lb
ai/
acre;
turf/
ornamental
­
0.41
lbs
ai/
acre),
HED
concludes
that
residential
exposure
resulting
from
the
fruit
fly
application
will
be
insignificant
when
compared
to
the
exposure
resulting
from
the
turf/
ornamental
application.
Therefore,
quantitative
analysis
of
the
residential
exposure
resulting
from
the
fruit
fly
bait
application
was
not
performed.
HED
concludes
that
all
other
registered/
proposed
application
scenarios
will
not
result
in
residential
exposures.

4.7
Non­
occupational
Off­
Target
Exposure
Spray
drift
is
always
a
potential
source
of
exposure
to
residents
nearby
to
spraying
operations.
This
is
particularly
the
case
with
aerial
application,
but,
to
a
lesser
extent,
could
also
be
a
potential
source
of
exposure
from
ground
application.
The
Agency
has
been
working
with
the
Spray
Drift
Task
Force,
EPA
Regional
Offices,
State
Lead

On
a

basis,
the
Agency
is
now
requiring
interim
mitigation
measures
for
aerial
applications
that
must
be
placed
on
product

The
Agency
has
completed
its
evaluation
of
the
new
data
base
submitted
by
the
Spray

Task
Force,
a
membership
of
U.
S.
pesticide
registrants,
and
is
developing
a
policy
on
how
to
appropriately
apply
the

and
the
AgDRIFT
computer
model
to
its
risk
assessments
for
pesticides
applied
by
air,
orchard

and
ground

methods.
After
the
policy
is
in
place,
the
Agency
may
impose
further
refinements
in
spray

to
reduce
off­

AGGREGATE
RISK
ASSESSMENTS
AND
RISK
CHARACTERIZATION
In
general,
aggregate
exposures
are
calculated
by
summing
dietary
(
food
and
water)
and
residential
exposures
(
residential
or
other
non­
occupational
exposures).
Based
on
the
anticipated
residential
exposure
scenarios
and
since
acute
and
cancer
risk
assessments
are
not
required,
only
short­
term
(
residential,
food,
and
water)
and
chronic
(
food
and
water)
aggregate
exposure
assessments
were
conducted.
Since
the
dietary
analyses
incorporated
drinking
water
estimates,
calculation
of
DWLOCs
are
unnecessary
(
the
dietary
analyses
represent
exposure
from
food
and
water).
The
following
paragraphs
are
summaries
of
the
short­
term
and
chronic
aggregate
exposure
assessments.

Short­
Term
Aggregate
Risk
Assessment:
Currently,
only
short­
term
incidental
oral
exposures
to
toddlers
are
anticipated
from
the
registered
turf
and
ornamental
application.
This
incidential
oral
exposure
is
combined
with
chronic
dietary
(
food
and
water)
exposure
for
determination
of
aggregate
short­
term
exposure.
HED
uses
chronic
dietary
exposure
when
conducting
short­
term
aggregate
assessments
as
it
has
been
determined
that
this
will
more
accurately
reflect
exposure
from
food
over
the
HED
defined
short­
term
interval
(
1­
30
days)
than
will
acute
exposure.
Table
10
is
a
summary
of
the
short­
term
aggregate
exposures
and
risk
estimates.
Since
the
aggregate
MOEs
were
$
150,
shortterm
aggregate
exposure
to
spinosad
is
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern.

CUMULATIVE
RISK
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
for
spinosad
and
any
other
substances,
and
spinosad
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
spinosad
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

the
cumulative
effects
of
such
chemicals,

The
available
exposure
data
for
combined
mixer/
loader/
applicator
scenarios
are
limited
in
comparison
to
the
monitoring
of
these
two
activities
separately.
These
exposure
scenarios
are
outlined
in
the
PHED
Surrogate
Exposure
Guide
(
August
1998).
HED
has
adopted
a
methodology
to
present
the
exposure
and
risk
estimates
separately
for
the
job
functions
in
some
scenarios
and
to
present
them
as
combined
in
other
cases.
Most
exposure
scenarios
for
hand­
held
equipment
(
such
as
hand
wands,
backpack
sprayers,
and
push­
type
granular
spreaders)
are
assessed
as
a
combined
job
function.
With
these
types
of
hand
held
operations,
all
handling
activities
are
assumed
to
be
effected
by
the
same
individual.
The
available
monitoring
data
support
this
and
HED
presents
them
in
this
way.
Conversely,
for
equipment
types
such
as
fixed­
wing
aircraft,
groundboom
tractors,
or
air­
blast
sprayers,
the
applicator
exposures
are
assessed
and
presented
separately
from
those
of
the
mixers
and
loaders.
By
separating
the
two
job
functions,
HED
determines
the
most
appropriate
levels
of
PPE
for
each
aspect
of
the
job
without
requiring
an
applicator
to
wear
unnecessary
PPE
that
may
be
required
for
a
mixer/
loader
(
e.
g.,
chemical­
resistant
gloves
may
only
be
necessary
during
the
pouring
of
a
liquid
formulation).

Spinosad
is
classified
as
Toxicity
Category
III
for
acute
oral
and
dermal
toxicity,
Toxicity
Category
IV
for
acute
inhalation
toxicity,
and
Toxicity
Category
IV
for
primary
eye
and
primary
skin
irritation.
It
is
not
a
dermal
sensitizer.
The
HIARC
did
not
identify
dermal
toxicological
endpoints;
therefore,
dermal
exposure
assessments
are
unnecessary.

7.1
Handler
Exposure
No
chemical­
specific
data
are
available
with
which
to
assess
potential
exposure
to
pesticide
handlers.
The
estimates
of
exposure
to
pesticide
handlers
are
based
upon
surrogate
study
data
available
in
the
PHED
(
v.
1.1,
1998).
For
pesticide
handlers,
it
is
HED
policy
to
present
estimates
of
exposure
for
"
baseline;"
that
is,
with
a
single
layer
of
work
clothing
consisting
of
a
long­
sleeved
shirt,
long
pants,
shoes
plus
socks
and
no
protective
gloves
and
with
a
single
layer
of
work
clothing
and
the
use
of
protective
gloves
or
other
PPE
as
might
be
necessary.
The
Entrust
 
,
Success
 
,
Tracer
 
,
and
GF­
120
Naturalyte
 
Fruit
Fly
Bait
labels
all
require
applicators
and
other
handlers
to
wear
long­
sleeved
shirt,
long
pants
and
shoes
plus
socks.
The
Justice
 
Fire
Ant
Bait
label
requires
applicators
and
other
handlers
to
wear
long­
sleeved
shirt,
long
pants,
shoes
plus
socks
and
waterproof
gloves
when
handling
for
uses
covered
under
the
worker
protection
standard
(
WPS).
Uses
covered
under
the
WPS
are
any
agricultural
uses
where
plants
are
grown
for
sale/
commerce.
For
uses
not
covered
under
the
WPS,
(
aesthetic
plantings,
plants/
crops
not
grown
for
commercial
sale),
the
PPE
required
is
short­
sleeved
shirt,
long
pants
and
shoes
plus
socks.
The
following
paragraphs
are
summaries
of
handler
exposure
resulting
from
application
of
spinosad
to
the
proposed
agricultural
crops
and
as
a
fruit
fly
bait.

Fruit
Fly
Bait:
Based
upon
the
proposed
label,
HED
believes
most
occupational
pesticide
handlers
(
i.
e.,
mixers,
loaders,
applicators)
will
probably
be
"
commercial"
handlers.
Private
(
i.
e.
grower)
handlers
are
also
likely
to
apply
the
material.
In
the
State
of
California's
efforts
to
control
various
fruit
flies,
the
most
highly­
exposed
occupational
handlers
are
most
likely
to
be
persons
employed
by
or
contracted
by
the
state
to
provide
area
wide
applications
as
are
determined
necessary
by
survey
trapping
of
the
flies.
HED
believes
the
most
highly­
exposed
handlers
are:
(
1)
mixer/
loaders
supporting
aerial
operations;
(
2)
aerial
applicator;
(
3)
applicator
using
open­
cab
airblast
machinery;
(
4)
applicator
using
open­
cab
ground
boom
machinery;
(
5)
ultra­
low
volume
ground
applications;
(
6)
applicator
using
high­
pressure
handwand
sprayer.

It
is
doubtless
that
other
methods
of
application
might
be
utilized
such
as
backpack
sprayer
for
spot
treatments
(
etc.).
Based
on
data
in
PHED,
HED
believes
exposures
and
risks
from
other
methods
of
application
will
be
lower
than
those
noted
above.
The
methods
list
above
involve
much
larger
volumes
of
material
to
be
handled
per
work
day
than
could
possibly
be
handled
with
smaller
sprayers
or
methods
of
delivery.

Typically,
private
(
i.
e.,
grower)
pesticide
handlers
are
expected
to
experience
short­
term
duration
exposures
(
1
­
30
days).
However,
"
commercial"
(
i.
e.,
state­
employed
or
contracted)
handlers
may
also
experience
intermediate­
term
duration
exposures
(
1
­
6
months).
The
fruit
fly
control
efforts
in
California
are
essentially
statewide.
Growing
seasons
for
the
myriad
of
crops
grown
in
California
are
spread
over
most
of
a
calendar
year.

The
Science
Advisory
Council
for
Exposure
(
ExpoSac)
Standard
Operating
Procedure
9.1
(
Revised
25
September
2001),
"
Standard
Values
for
Daily
Acres
Treated
in
Agriculture"
indicates
that
up
to
7,500
acres
per
day
may
be
treated
by
aerial
ULV
applications
and
that
up
to
3,000
acres
per
day
may
be
treated
with
ULV
ground
applications.
Airblast
machinery
is
believed
to
treat
a
maximum
of
40
acres
per
day,
ground
boom
machinery
to
treat
a
maximum
of
200
acres
per
day,
and
high­
pressure
handwand
sprayer
to
spray
a
maximum
of
1,000
gallons
of
spray
per
day.
As
a
Tier
I,
"
worst
case"
screening
level
assessment,
these
values
are
used
herein.
Table
11
is
a
summary
of
the
pesticidehandler
exposure
estimates.
All
inhalation
MOEs
are
greater
than
100,
and
therefore
do
not
exceed
HED's
level
of
concern,
except
Page
25
of
28
for
application
using
high­
pressure
hand­
wand
equipment
(
short­
term
MOE
=
49;
intermediate­
term
MOE
=
27).
Data
in
the
PHED
indicate
that
use
of
an
organic­
vapor
filtering
respirator
can
reduce
inhalation
exposure
by
90%.
Short­
and
intermediate­
term
inhalation
MOEs
for
applicators
using
high­
pressure
handwand
equipment
while
wearing
an
organic­
vapor
filtering
respirator
are
490
and
270,
respectively
(
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern).
Therefore,
HED
requests
that
a
revised
Section
B
be
submitted
which
requires
applicators
who
use
high­
pressure
hand­
wand
equipment
to
wear
an
approved
organic­
vapor
filtering
respirator.

HED
notes
that
the
unit
exposure
data
for
an
applicator
using
high­
pressure
hand­
wand
equipment
is
classified
as
"
low
confidence
data."
The
number
of
observations
is
rather
low
and
most
of
the
observations
were
from
a
study
of
an
indoor
application
to
poultry
houses.
It
is
very
likely
that
applications
out
of
doors
would
result
in
lesser
exposure
than
what
has
been
estimated.
However,
more
suitable
data
are
not
available
for
use
to
refine
the
estimates.
The
estimate
of
exposure
could
be
refined
upon
receipt
of
suitable
compound
specific
or
surrogate
data
that
demonstrate
otherwise.
Foliar
Application
to
Agricultural
Crops:
Based
upon
the
proposed
use
pattern,
HED
expects
commercial
and
private
(
i.
e.,
grower)
occupational
pesticide
handlers
(
mixers,
loaders,
applicators)
to
typically
be
exposed
to
short­
term
duration
exposures
(
1
­
30
days).
However,
the
ExpoSAC
maintains
that
it
is
possible
for
some
commercial
handlers
to
be
exposed
to
intermediate­
term
(
1
­
6
months)
exposures.
It
is
thought
that
commercial
handlers
may
move
from
farm
to
farm
or
area
to
area
and
continuously
apply
a
material
to
the
same
crop
over
a
widely
spread
geographic
area.
Therefore,
estimated
risks
are
presented
for
handlers
who
experience
short­
term
as
well
as
intermediate­
term
exposures.
Based
upon
the
proposed
use
pattern,
HED
believes
the
most
highlyexposed
occupational
pesticide
handlers
are
most
likely
to
be:
(
1)
mixer/
loader
using
open­
pour
of
liquid;
(
2)
mixer/
loader
using
open
loading
of
WP;
(
3)
mixer/
loader
using
open
loading
of
granular;
(
4)
applicator
using
open­
cab,
ground­
boom
equipment;
(
5)
pilot
(
aerial
applicator);
(
6)
applicator
using
high­
pressure
handwand;
(
7)
applicator
using
open­
cab,
granular
broadcast;
and
(
8)
mixer/
loader/
applicator
using
commercial
"
push"
type
rotary
spreader
to
apply
granules.
Using
a
conservative
approach,
mixer/
loaders
are
assumed
to
be
supporting
aerial
operations
(
i.
e.,
1,200
acres
treated
per
day).
Ground
application
operations
are
assumed
to
be
350
acres
per
day.
An
applicator
using
highpressure
handwand
equipment
is
assumed
to
apply
1,000
gallons
of
spray
per
day.
A
mixer/
loader/
applicator
is
assumed
to
treat
5
acres
per
day.
Table
11
is
a
summary
of
the
pesticidehandler
exposure
estimates.

All
inhalation
MOEs
are
greater
than
100,
and
therefore
do
not
exceed
HED's
level
of
concern,
except
for
mixer/
loaders
using
open
loading
of
WP
in
support
of
aerial
operations
(
short­
term
MOE
=
66;
intermediate­
term
MOE
=
36).
Data
in
the
PHED
indicate
that
use
of
a
dust/
mist
filtering
respirator
reduces
inhalation
exposure
by
80%.
Short­
and
intermediate­
term
inhalation
MOEs
for
mixer/
loaders
using
open
loading
of
WP
in
support
of
aerial
operations
while
wearing
a
dust/
mist
filtering
respirator
are
326
and
180,
respectively
(
less
than
HED's
level
of
concern).
Therefore,
HED
requests
that
a
revised
Section
B
be
submitted
for
the
Entrust
 
label
which
requires
mixer/
loaders
to
wear
an
approved
dust/
mist
filtering
respirator.

Post­
Application
Worker
Exposure
There
is
potential
for
agricultural
workers
to
experience
post­
application
exposure
to
pesticides
during
the
course
of
typical
agricultural
activities
such
as
crop
scouting,
hand­
weeding,
thinning,
or
other
irrigation
activities.
However,
in
this
case
the
HIARC
did
not
identify
dermal
toxicological
endpoints
and
post­
application
inhalation
exposure
for
agricultural
workers
is
considered
negligible;
therefore,
a
post­
application
risk
assessments
are
not
necessary
for
the
proposed
application
scenarios.

7.3
Restricted
Entry
Interval
The
REI
on
the
proposed
labels
is
4
hours.
It
appears
that
spinosad
is
eligible
for
a
reduced
REI
as
described
in
the
Pesticide
Regulation
(
PR)
Notice
95­
3
(
7­
June­
1995).
Since
certain
legal
documents
are
required
from
the
registrant
and
it
is
RD's
purview
to
grant
REIs,
HED
defers
to
RD
on
the
issue
of
an
acceptable
REI
for
spinosad.
