[EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0171; FRL-9358-8]
SUMMARY: EPA is revoking specific tolerances, in follow-up to canceled uses or where a commodity is no longer a significant feed item, for butylate, clethodim, dichlorvos, dicofol, isopropyl carbanilate, methanearsonic acid, methomyl, naled, primisulfuron-methyl, tralomethrin, and ziram, and the tolerance exemption for pine oil. However, EPA will not revoke the dicofol tolerances on tea and tolerance exemptions for rotenone, derris, or cube roots at this time. Also, EPA is making minor revisions to the tolerance expressions for dicofol, methanearsonic acid, methomyl, and tralomethrin, revising the nomenclature of specific tolerances for butylate, methomyl, and tralomethrin, and removing expired tolerances for certain pesticide active ingredients, in accordance with current EPA practice. In addition, EPA is reinstating popcorn tolerances for metolachlor to remedy an inadvertent omission and cover existing registrations.

In theFederal Registerof May 9, 2012 (77 FR 27164) (FRL-9345-2), EPA issued a proposed rule, in follow-up to canceled uses or where a commodity is no longer a significant feed item, to revoke specific tolerances for butylate, clethodim, dichlorvos, dicofol, isopropyl carbanilate, methanearsonic acid, methomyl, naled, primisulfuron-methyl, tralomethrin, and ziram, and tolerance exemptions for rotenone, derris, cube roots, and pine oil. Also, it proposed minor revisions to the tolerance expressions for dicofol,methanearsonic acid, methomyl, and tralomethrin, revisions to the nomenclature of specific tolerances for butylate, methomyl, and tralomethrin, and removal of expired tolerances for certain pesticide active ingredients, in accordance with current EPA practice. In addition, it proposed to reinstate popcorn tolerances for metolachlor to remedy an inadvertent omission and cover existing registrations. Also, the proposed rule of May 9, 2012 provided a 60-day comment period which invited public comment for consideration and for support of tolerance retention under FFDCA standards.
In this final rule, EPA is finalizing these tolerance actions, with the exception of the proposed revocations of tolerance exemptions for rotenone, derris, and cube roots, revocation of the dicofol tolerances on tea, and date of expiration/revocation proposed for the methomyl tolerance on grape. EPA is revoking tolerances for butylate, clethodim, dichlorvos, dicofol, isopropyl carbanilate, methanearsonic acid, methomyl, naled, primisulfuron-methyl, tralomethrin, and ziram, and the tolerance exemption for pine oil. The tolerance and tolerance exemption revocations for dichlorvos, naled, and pine oil are consistent with the recommendations in their individual Reregistration Eligibility Decisions (REDs) of 2006.
As part of the tolerance reassessment process, EPA is required to determine whether each of the amended tolerances meets the safety standard of FFDCA. The safety finding determination of “reasonable certainty of no harm” is discussed in detail in each RED for the active ingredient. REDs recommend the implementation of certain tolerance actions, including modifications, to reflect current use patterns, to meet safety findings and change commodity names and groupings in accordance with new EPA policy. Printed copies of many REDs may be obtained from EPA's National Service Center for Environmental Publications (EPA/NSCEP), P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, OH 45242-2419; telephone number: 1-800-490-9198; fax number: 1-513-489-8695; Internet athttp://www.epa.gov/ncepihomand from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161; telephone number: 1-800-553-6847 or (703) 605-6000; Internet athttp://www.ntis.gov.Electronic copies of REDs are available on the Internet athttp://www.regulations.govandhttp://www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/status.htm.
In this final rule, EPA is revoking certain tolerances and/or tolerance exemptions because either they are no longer needed or are associated with food uses that are no longer registered under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) in the United States. Those instances where registrations were canceled were because the registrant failed to pay the required maintenance fee and/or the registrant voluntarily requested cancellation of one or more registered uses of the pesticide active ingredient. The tolerances revoked by this final rule are no longer necessary to cover residues of the relevant pesticides in or on domestically treated commodities or commodities treated outside but imported into the United States. It is EPA's general practice to issue a final rule revoking those tolerances and tolerance exemptions for residues of pesticide active ingredients on crop uses for which there are no active registrations under FIFRA, unless any person in comments on the proposal indicates a need for the tolerance or tolerance exemption to cover residues in or on imported commodities or legally treated domestic commodities.
3. The tolerance is not supported by data that demonstrate that the tolerance meets the requirements under Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).
This final rule does not revoke those tolerances or tolerance exemptions for which EPA received comments stating a need for the tolerance or tolerance exemption to be retained. Among the comments received by EPA, are the following:
i.Dicofol—Comment by Tea Association of the U.S.A., Inc.The commenter stated that dicofol is used in tea production in countries such as India, China, and Argentina, and requested that EPA not revoke the dicofol tolerances on tea but maintain them for importation purposes.
Agency response.EPA will not revoke the dicofol tolerances in 40 CFR 180.163(a)(1) on “tea, dried” and “tea, plucked leaves” at this time. EPA will address the tea tolerances and the comment received on them in a future document to be published in theFederal Register. However, EPA is finalizing all other amendments (including all other tolerance revocations) proposed concerning dicofol in theFederal Registerof May 9, 2012 (77 FR 27164).
ii.Methomyl—Comments by DuPont Crop Protection and the California Grape and Tree Fruit League (CGTFL).DuPont Crop Protection commented that one year is not sufficient time to exhaust methomyl existing stocks for use on grapes. DuPont requested that EPA extend the expiration/revocation date for the methomyl tolerance on grape by a minimum of 3 years (from June 8, 2013 to June 8, 2016). The CGTFL represents California's table grape and deciduous tree fruit growers, packers, and shippers. The CGTFL requested additional time to exhaust existing stocks and suggested a more appropriate expiration/revocation date for the methomyl tolerance on grape would be December 31, 2020.
Agency response.Based upon the comments received by EPA regarding requests for additional time to exhaust existing methomyl end-use stocks for use in or on grapes, and on the Agency's review of methomyl use, EPA is extending the expiration/revocation of the methomyl tolerance in 40 CFR 180.253(a) on grape by more than 3 years from June 8, 2013 to December 31, 2016.
iii.Rotenone—Comments by CERES GmbH, Frutban S.A., Dole Fresh Fruit International, Ltd. (DFFI), and DFFI-Costa Rica.Multiple comments from CERES GmbH (a company headquartered in Germany which offers international certification for organic farming and food processing), Frutban S.A. (an organic banana farm in Ecuador), DFFI, and DFFI-Costa Rica, were received which expressed concerns with EPA's proposal to revoke the U.S. tolerance exemptions for rotenone based insecticides. The commenters stated that there are lots of farmers (especially organic farmers) who rely on rotenone based insecticides on various commodities imported into the United States.
Agency response.Based on the multiple comments by CERES GmbH, Frutban S.A., DFFI, and DFFI-Costa Rica, which stated a continued need for the tolerance exemptions for rotenone for importation purposes into the United States, EPA will not revoke thetolerance exemptions in 40 CFR 180.905 (when applied to growing crops in accordance with good agricultural practice) for rotenone or derris or cube roots at this time. However, because there are no longer any active food-use registrations in the United States and no comments were received by EPA which expressed a need for more time to exhaust existing stocks for domestic use, EPA is not changing its previous determination (as stated in the proposed rule of May 9, 2012) that existing stocks in the United States will be exhausted by August 11, 2012. EPA will note in 40 CFR 180.905 that the tolerance exemptions for rotenone, derris, and cube roots have no U.S. registrations as of March 23, 2011. Also, retaining these tolerance exemptions may require submission of data to demonstrate their safety. EPA believes that residue data from foreign countries, and perhaps other data, may be needed to support import tolerance exemptions for rotenone or derris or cube roots. For example, domestic U.S. residue data are not likely to be representative of growing conditions and use patterns in other countries. EPA published guidances on pesticide import tolerances and residue data for imported food in theFederal Registernotices of April 5, 2006 (71 FR 17099) (FRL-7772-1) and June 1, 2000 (65 FR 35069) (FRL-6559-3).
EPA did not receive any specific comments, during the 60-day comment period, on the following pesticide active ingredients: Butylate, clethodim, dichlorvos, (dicofol with the exception of tea), isopropyl carbanilate, naled, primisulfuron-methyl, tralomethrin, and ziram, and pine oil, and any of the active ingredients associated with the removal of expired tolerances. Therefore, with the exception of the changes described in the Agency responses to comments in this final rule, EPA is finalizing the amendments proposed concerning the pesticide active ingredients in theFederal Registerof May 9, 2012 (77 FR 27164) (FRL-9345-2). For a detailed discussion of the Agency's rationale for the finalized tolerance actions, refer to the proposed rule of May 9, 2012.
EPA may issue a regulation establishing, modifying, or revoking a tolerance under FFDCA section 408(e). In this final rule, EPA is revoking tolerances as follow-up on canceled uses of pesticides, which is consistent with the tolerance recommendations made in certain REDs.
As stated in theDATESsection, this regulation is effective 180 days after the date of publication in theFederal Register. EPA is delaying the effective date of these finalized actions to allow a reasonable interval for producers in exporting members of the World Trade Organization's Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures Agreement to adapt to the requirements of a final rule. With the exception of butylate, dicofol, methanearsonic acid (and salts), methomyl, tralomethrin, and ziram, EPA believes that existing stocks of the canceled or amended pesticide products labeled for the uses associated with the revoked tolerances and tolerance exemptions have been completely exhausted and that treated commodities have had sufficient time for passage through the channels of trade. EPA is revoking certain tolerances for butylate, dicofol, methanearsonic acid (and salts), methomyl, tralomethrin, and ziram with expiration/revocation dates. EPA believes that these revocation dates allow users to exhaust stocks and allow sufficient time for passage of treated commodities through the channels of trade.
The Codex has not established a MRL for butylate, isopropyl carbanilate (also called propham), methanearsonic acid (and salts), metolachlor, naled, pine oil, primisulfuron-methyl, rotenone (or derris or cube roots), tralomethrin, or MRL for clethodim in or on soybean soapstock, or MRL for dichlorvos on tomato.
The Codex has established MRLs for dicofol in or on various other commodities, including beans, dry at 0.1 mg/kg, citrus fruits at 5 mg/kg, hops, dry at 50 mg/kg, melons, except watermelon at 0.2 mg/kg, pecans and walnuts at 0.01 mg/kg, and peppers and summer squash at 1 mg/kg. These MRLs are all covered by U.S. tolerances at higher levels. These MRLs are different than the tolerances established for dicofol in the United States because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.
In this final rule, EPA revokes specific tolerances established under FFDCA section 408. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this type of action (i.e., a tolerance revocation for which extraordinary circumstances do not exist) from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled “Regulatory Planning and Review” (58FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of significance, this rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled “Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use” (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This final rule does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501et seq.), or impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501et seq.). Nor does it require any special considerations as required by Executive Order 12898, entitled “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations” (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994); or OMB review or any other Agency action under Executive Order 13045, entitled “Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks” (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). 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) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether revocations of tolerances might significantly impact a substantial number of small entities and concluded that, as a general matter, these actions do not impose a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This analysis was published on December 17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL-5753-1), and was provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. Taking into account this analysis and available information concerning the pesticides listed in this rule, the Agency hereby certifies that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In a memorandum dated May 25, 2001, EPA determined that eight conditions must all be satisfied in order for an import tolerance or tolerance exemption revocation to adversely affect a significant number of small entity importers, and that there is a negligible joint probability of all eight conditions holding simultaneously with respect to any particular revocation. (This Agency document is available in the docket of the proposed rule, as mentioned in Unit II.A.). Furthermore, for the pesticides named in this final rule, the Agency knows of no extraordinary circumstances that exist as to the present revocations that would change EPA's previous analysis. In addition, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled “Federalism” (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure “meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.” “Policies that have federalism implications” is defined in the Executive order to include regulations that 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.” This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not States. This action does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). For these same reasons, the Agency has determined that this rule does not have any “tribal implications” as described in Executive Order 13175, entitled“Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments” (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Executive Order 13175, requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure “meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications.” “Policies that have tribal implications” is defined in the Executive order to include regulations that have “substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, 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.” This rule will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.

Coordination product of zinc ion and maneb Fungicide 1.0 (Calculated as zinc ethylene-bisdithio-carbamate) Potato None Endothall (7-oxabicyclo-(2,2,1)heptane 2,3-dicarboxylic acid Herbicide 0.2 Beet, sugar None Methyl parathion Herbicide 0.5 Rye 12/31/13
(b)Section 18 emergency exemptions.[Reserved]
(c)Tolerances with regional registrations.[Reserved]
(d)Indirect or inadvertent residues.[Reserved]
14. Section 180.368 is amended by alphabetically adding the following entries to the table in paragraph (a)(1) to read as follows:
§ 180.368 Metolachlor; tolerances for residues.
***** Corn, pop, grain 0.10 Corn, pop, stover 6.0 *****
§ 180.422 Tralomethrin; tolerances for residues.
(a)General.(1) Tolerances are established for residues of the insecticide tralomethrin, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities in the table in this paragraph. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified in this paragraph is to be determined by measuring only the sum of tralomethrin, (S)-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl (1R,3S)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(1,2,2,2-tetrabromoethyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate, and its metabolites (S)-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl (1R,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromoethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and (S)-cyano(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl (1S,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromoethenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, calculated as the stoichiometric equivalent of tralomethrin, in or on the commodity.
