II. Petition for Tolerance
In the Federal Register of April 12, 2006 (71 FR 18736) (FRL-7775-
5), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of an import pesticide
petition (PP 9E5059) by Gowan Company, 370 S. Main Street, Yuma, AZ
85364. The petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by
establishing import tolerances for residues of the insecticide,
fenazaquin, in or on apple at 0.2 ppm; in or on pear at 0.2 ppm, and in
or on citrus fruits at 0.5 ppm. That notice referenced a summary of the
petition prepared by Gowan Company, the registrant, which is available
to the public in the docket, under docket identification (ID) number
EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0075-0002 at http://www.regulations.gov. There were no
comments received in response to the notice of filing.
Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
modified Gowan Company's request for tolerances as follows. This
regulation establishes import tolerances for residues of fenazaquin in
or on apple at 0.2 ppm; in or on pear at 0.2 ppm; in or on citrus fruit
group 10, except grapefruit, at 0.5 ppm; and in or on citrus oil at 10
ppm. The reason for the addition of a tolerance for citrus oil at 10
ppm is explained in Unit V. (Conclusions).
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
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. . .
.'' These provisions were added to the FFDCA by the Food Quality
Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996.
Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in section 408(b)(2)(D), 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 for the petitioned-for import
tolerances for residues of Fenazaquin in or on apple at 0.2 ppm; in or
on pear at 0.2 ppm; in or on citrus fruit group 10, except grapefruit,
at 0.5 ppm; and in or on citrus oil at 10 ppm. EPA's assessment of
exposures and risks associated with establishing the tolerance follows.
[[Page 44390]]
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 adverse effects caused by Fenazaquin 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.
The referenced document (Fenazaquin: PP
9E5059. Tolerances on apples, pears and citrus fruits exported to the
U.S. HED Risk Assessment) is available in the docket established by
this action, which is described under ADDRESSES, and is identified as
docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0075-0004 in that docket.
B. Toxicological Endpoints
For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological level of concern (LOC) is derived
from the highest dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the
NOAEL) in the toxicology study identified as appropriate for use in
risk assessment. However, if a NOAEL cannot be determined, the lowest
dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified (the LOAEL) is
sometimes used for risk assessment. Uncertainty/safety factors (UF) are
used in conjunction with the LOC to take into account 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. Safety is assessed for acute and chronic
risks by comparing aggregate exposure to the pesticide to the acute
population adjusted dose (aPAD) and chronic population adjusted dose
(cPAD). The aPAD and cPAD are calculated by dividing the LOC by all
applicable uncertainty/safety factors. Short-term, intermediate-term,
and long-term risks are evaluated by comparing aggregate exposure to
the LOC to ensure that the margin of exposure (MOE) called for by the
product of all applicable uncertainty/safety factors is not exceeded.
For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes that any amount of
exposure will lead to some degree of risk and estimates risk in terms
of the probability of occurrence of additional adverse cases.
Generally, cancer risks are considered non-threshold. For more
information on the general principles EPA uses in risk characterization
and a complete description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/1997/November/Day-26/p30948.htm
.
A summary of the toxicological endpoints for Fenazaquin used for
human risk assessment is shown in Table 1 below of this unit and in
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0075-0004 in an alternate format.

Cancer (oral, dermal, inhalation) A quantitative exposure
assessment for cancer
risk was not performed
because fenazaquin has
been classified as
``Not likely to be
Carcinogenic to
Humans'' and is not
expected to pose a
cancer risk.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. Exposure Assessment
1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary
exposure to fenazaquin, EPA considered exposure under the petitioned-
for tolerances as well as a tolerance in or on citrus oil. EPA assessed
dietary exposures from Fenazaquin 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. In estimating acute
dietary exposure, EPA used food consumption information from the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1998 Nationwide Continuing
Surveys of Food Intake by Individuals (CSFII). As to residue levels in
food, EPA assumed all foods for which there are tolerances were treated
and contain tolerance-level residues. Percent Crop Treated (PCT) and
anticipated residues were not used.
ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure
assessment EPA used the food consumption data from the USDA 1998 CSFII.
As to residue levels in food, EPA assumed all foods for which there are
tolerances were treated and contain tolerance-level residues. Percent
Crop Treated (PCT) and anticipated residues were not used.
iii. Cancer. A quantitative exposure assessment for cancer risk was
not performed because fenazaquin has been classified as ``Not likely to
be Carcinogenic to Humans'' and is not expected to pose a cancer risk.
iv. Anticipated residue and PCT information.PCT and anticipated
residues were not used.
2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. Because the import
tolerances in this Final Rule do not involve current or proposed
registered uses of Fenazaquin in the United States, EPA does not
anticipate dietary exposure from drinking water. Therefore, EPA has not
assessed such exposure in this document.
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).
Fenazaquin 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 fenazaquin and any other
substances and fenazaquin 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 fenazaquin 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
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 (10X) 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. This additional margin of
safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA safety factor. 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 FQPA
safety factor value based on the use of traditional uncertainty/safety
factors and/or special FQPA safety factors, as appropriate.
2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There are no qualitative or
quantitative prenatal or postnatal susceptibility issues based on
available data from two developmental toxicity studies and a two-
generation reproduction toxicity study.
3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show that it
would be safe for infants and children to reduce the FQPA safety factor
to 1X. That decision is based on the following findings:
i. The toxicity database for fenazaquin is complete.
ii. There is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study or
additional uncertainty factors to account for neurotoxicity.
iii. There is no evidence that fenazaquin results in increased
susceptibility in in utero rats or rabbits in the prenatal
developmental studies or in young rats in the two-generation
reproduction study.
iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure
databases. The dietary food exposure assessments were performed based
on 100% CT and tolerance-level residues.
v. There is no potential for dietary drinking water exposure and
there are no residential uses.
[[Page 44392]]
By using these screening-level assessments, acute and chronic
exposures/risks will not be underestimated.
E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety
Safety is assessed for acute and chronic risks by comparing
aggregate exposure to the pesticide to the aPAD and cPAD. The aPAD and
cPAD are calculated by dividing the LOC by all applicable uncertainty/
safety factors. For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the probability
of additional cancer cases given aggregate exposure. Short-term,
intermediate, and long-term risks are evaluated by comparing aggregate
exposure to the LOC to ensure that the margin of exposure (MOE) called
for by the product of all applicable uncertainty/safety factors is not
exceeded.
1. Acute risk. Using the exposure assumptions discussed in this
unit for acute exposure, the acute dietary exposure from food to
fenazaquin will occupy 48% of the aPAD for the population group
(children, 1-2 years old) receiving the greatest exposure. There is no
acute dietary exposure from water.
2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that exposure to
fenazaquin from food will utilize 25% of the cPAD for the population
group (children, 1-2 years old) receiving the greatest exposure.
Because the tolerances being established in this Final Rule are for
uses outside of the United States, there is no acute dietary exposure
from water. There are no residential uses for Fenazaquin that result in
chronic residential exposure to Fenazaquin.
3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into
account residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food and water
(considered to be a background exposure level).
Fenazaquin is not registered for use on any sites that would result
in residential exposure. Also, because the tolerances being established
in this Final Rule are for uses outside of the United States, there is
no acute dietary exposure from water. Therefore, the aggregate risk is
the sum of the risk from food, which does not exceed the Agency's level
of concern.
4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure
takes into account residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food
and water (considered to be a background exposure level).
Fenazaquin is not registered for use on any sites that would result
in residential exposure. Also, because the tolerances being established
in this final rule are for uses outside of the United States, there is
no chronic dietary exposure from water. Therefore, the aggregate risk
is the sum of the risk from food, which does not exceed the Agency's
level of concern.
5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Fenazaquin is not
expected to pose a cancer risk based on negative cancer findings in two
adequate rodent carcinogenicity studies.
6. 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, or to infants and children from aggregate
exposure to fenazaquin residues.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
Adequate enforcement methodology (gas chromatography) is available
to enforce the tolerance expression, using the existing Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) Multiresidue Methods in the Pesticide Analytical
Manual (PAM), Vol I, available from http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/pestadd.html
.
B. International Residue Limits
There are no established or proposed Canadian, Mexican or Codex
MRLs for residues of fenazaquin in plant commodities.
C. Response to Comments
The Agency did not receive any comments to this request for import
tolerances for fenazaquin.
V. Conclusion
Therefore, the Agency is establishing import tolerances for
residues of Fenazaquin in or on apple at 0.2 parts per million (ppm);
in or on pear at 0.2 ppm; in or on citrus fruit group 10, except
grapefruit, at 0.5 ppm; and in or on citrus oil at 10 ppm. The original
petition did not request the establishment of a tolerance in or on
citrus oil at 10 ppm. However, the Agency added this tolerance for the
following reason. Separate tolerances are not required for apple and
orange juice as residues do not concentrate in these commodities.
However, the citrus processing studies indicate that fenazaquin
residues concentrate on average by 25x in citrus oil and thus residues
in citrus oil could exceed the tolerance for citrus fruits. Based on
the 25x processing factor and residue data on fenazaquin levels in or
on oranges, a tolerance of 10 ppm would be appropriate for citrus oil.
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
[[Page 44393]]
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).
