II. Background and Statutory Findings
In the Federal Register of July 5, 2006 (71 FR 38151) (FRL-8073-5),
EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 5F6959)
by Bayer CropScience, 2 T.W. Alexander Drive, P.O. Box 12014, Research
Triangle Park, NC 27709. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180. 600 be
amended by increasing tolerances for residues of the herbicide
propoxycarbazone, methyl 2-[[[(4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-5-oxo-3-propoxy-1H-
1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]benzoate (MKH-6561) and its
metabolite, methyl 2-[[[(4,5-dihydro-3-(2-hydroxypropoxy)-4-methyl-5-
oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl] benzoate (Pr-2-OH
MKH-6561), in or on wheat, forage from 1.5 parts per million (ppm) to
11 ppm; and of propoxycarbazone in or on animal commodities cattle/
goat/horse/sheep, meat byproducts from 0.05 ppm to 0.30 ppm; and milk
from 0.004 ppm to 0.03 ppm. Based on the scientific review of the
residue chemistry data, EPA is raising the wheat forage tolerance to 17
ppm. The petitioner proposed raising the tolerances in order that wheat
forage may be grazed by livestock immediately after the herbicide's
application. Comments were received on the notice of filing. EPA's
response to these comments is discussed in Unit IV.C.
Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of 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 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 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/
[fxsp0]EPA-PEST/1997/November/[fxsp0]Day-26/p30948.htm.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of 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 FFDCA, for increasing tolerances for residues of the
herbicide propoxycarbazone and its metabolite in or on wheat, forage to
17 ppm; and for
[[Page 52485]]
propoxycarbazone in or on animal commodities cattle/goat/horse/sheep,
meat byproducts to 0.30 ppm; and milk to 0.03 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 propoxycarbazone as well as the no-
observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-
effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies are discussed in the
Federal Register of July 7, 2004 (69 FR 40774) (FRL-7365-7).
B. Toxicological Endpoints
For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the dose at which no adverse effects are observed
(the 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 lowest dose at which adverse effects of
concern are identified (the LOAEL) 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.
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.
A summary of the toxicological endpoints for propoxycarbazone used
for human risk assessment is discussed in Unit III.B. of the final rule
published in the Federal Register of July 7, 2004 (69 FR 40774) (FRL-
7365-7).
C. Exposure Assessment
1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. Tolerances have been
established (40 CFR 180.600) for the residues of propoxycarbazone, in
or on a variety of raw agricultural commodities. Risk assessments were
conducted by EPA to assess dietary exposures from propoxycarbazone in
food 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.
No such effects were identified in the toxicological studies for
propoxycarbazone therefore, a quantitative acute dietary exposure
assessment is unnecessary.
ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure
assessment EPA used the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with
the Food Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID\TM\), which incorporates
food consumption data as reported by respondents in the USDA 1994-1996
and 1998 Nationwide Continuing Surveys of Food Intake by Individuals
(CSFII), and accumulated exposure to the chemical for each commodity.
The following assumptions were made for the chronic exposure
assessments: For the chronic analyses, tolerance-level residues were
assumed for all food commodities with current or proposed
propoxycarbazone-sodium tolerances, and it was assumed that all of the
crops included in the analysis were treated. Percent Crop Treated (PCT)
and/or anticipated residues were not used in the chronic risk
assessment.
2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The Agency lacks
sufficient monitoring exposure data to complete a comprehensive dietary
exposure analysis and risk assessment for propoxycarbazone 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 propoxycarbazone.
The Agency uses the FQPA Index Reservoir Screening Tool (FIRST) or
the Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure Analysis Modeling System (PRZM/
EXAMS), to produce estimates of pesticide concentrations in an index
reservoir. The SCI-GROW model is used to predict pesticide
concentrations in shallow ground water. For a screening-level
assessment for surface water EPA will use FIRST (a tier 1 model) before
using PRZM/EXAMS (a tier 2 model). The FIRST model is a subset of the
PRZM/EXAMS model that uses a specific high-end runoff scenario for
pesticides. Both FIRST and PRZM/EXAMS incorporate an index reservoir
environment, and both models include a percent crop area factor as an
adjustment to account for the maximum percent crop coverage within a
watershed or drainage basin.
None of these models include consideration of the impact processing
(mixing, dilution, or treatment) of raw water for distribution as
drinking water would likely have on the removal of pesticides from the
source water. The primary use of these models by the Agency at this
stage is to provide a screen for sorting out pesticides for which it is
unlikely that drinking water concentrations would exceed human health
levels of concern.
Since the models used are considered to be screening tools in the
risk assessment process, the Agency uses the estimated environmental
concentrations (EECs), which are the model estimates of a pesticide's
concentration in water. EECs derived from these models are used to
quantify drinking water exposure and risk as a %RfD or %PAD.
Based on the FIRST and SCI-GROW models, the estimated environmental
concentrations (EECs) of propoxycarbazone for chronic exposures are
estimated to be 0.9 ppb for surface water and 0.4 ppb 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).
Propoxycarbazone 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 propoxycarbazone and any
other substances and propoxycarbazone 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 propoxycarbazone
has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances. For
information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which
[[Page 52486]]
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 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 based on reliable data 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
MOE analysis or through using uncertainty (safety) factors in
calculating a dose level that poses no appreciable risk to humans. In
applying this provision, EPA either retains the default value of 10X
when reliable data do not support the choice of a different factor, or,
if reliable data are available, EPA uses a different additional safety
factor value based on the use of traditional uncertainty factors and/or
special FQPA safety factors, as appropriate.
2. Conclusion. EPA has determined that there is reliable data
showing that it will be safe for infants and children to remove the
FQPA safety factor. The FQPA factor is removed based on the following:
i. There is no quantitative or qualitative evidence of increased
susceptibility of rat and rabbit fetuses to in utero exposure to
propoxycarbazone-sodium in developmental toxicity studies. There is no
quantitative or qualitative evidence of increased susceptibility to
propoxycarbazone-sodium following pre-/post-natal exposure to a 2-
generation reproduction study;
ii. There is no concern for developmental neurotoxicity resulting
from exposure to propoxycarbazone-sodium. A developmental neurotoxicity
study (DNT) study is not required;
iii. The toxicological database is complete for FQPA assessment;
iv. The chronic dietary food exposure assessment utilizes HED
recommended tolerance level residues and 100% CT information for all
commodities. By using these screening-level assessments, actual
exposures/risks will not be underestimated; and
v. The dietary drinking water assessment utilizes water
concentration values generated by model and associated modeling
parameters which are designed to provide conservative, health
protective, high-end estimates of water concentrations which will not
likely be exceeded.
E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety
1. Acute risk. An effect of concern attributable to a single
exposure (dose) was not identified from the oral toxicity studies
including the developmental toxicity studies in rat and rabbits. No
acute risk is expected from exposure to propoxycarbazone-sodium.
2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that exposure to
propoxycarbazone from food and drinking water will utilize < 1 % of the
cPAD for the U.S. population, and < 1 % of the cPAD for Children 1-2
years old. There are no residential uses for propoxycarbazone that
result in chronic residential exposure to propoxycarbazone.
3. Short-term risk. Propoxycarbazone is not registered for use on
any sites that would result in residential exposure. Therefore, the
aggregate risk is the sum of the risk from food and water, which do not
exceed the Agency's level of 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 propoxycarbazone residues.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
Adequate enforcement methodology (liquid chromatography/mass
spectroscopy) is available to enforce the tolerance expression. The
method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch,
Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350;
telephone number: (410) 305-2905; e-mail address:
residuemethods@epa.gov.
B. International Residue Limits
There are no Codex, Canadian or Mexican maximum residue limits
established for propoxycarbazone-sodium on wheat, meat, meat byproducts
or milk.
C. Response to Comments
Public comments were received from B. Sachau who objected to the
proposed tolerances because of the amounts of pesticides already
consumed and carried by the American population. She further indicated
that testing conducted on animals have absolutely no validity and are
cruel to the test animals. B. Sachau's comments contained no scientific
data or evidence to rebut the Agency's conclusion that there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to propoxycarbazone, including all anticipated dietary exposures and
all other exposures for which there is reliable information. EPA has
responded to B. Sachau's generalized comments on numerous previous
occasions. [January 7, 2005, 70 FR 1349, 1354 (FRL-7691-4); October 29,
2004, 69 FR 63083, 63096 (FRL-7681-9)].
V. Conclusion
Therefore, the tolerances are increased for residues of the
herbicide propoxycarbazone and its metabolite in or on wheat, forage to
17 ppm; and for propoxycarbazone in or on animal commodities cattle/
goat/horse/sheep, meat byproducts to 0.30 ppm; and milk to 0.03 ppm.
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 due to its lack of
significance, 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). 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., or 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). 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); or OMB review or any Agency action under Executive
Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety
[[Page 52487]]
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), Public Law
104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). 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.
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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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 6,
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.
VII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
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).
