II. Petition for Tolerance
In the Federal Register of February 28, 2007 (72 FR 9000) (FRL-
8115-5), 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
6F7161) by Bayer CropScience LLC, 2 T.W. Alexander Dr.,
[[Page 72623]]
Research Triangle Park, NC 27709. The petition requested that 40 CFR
180.473 be amended by establishing a tolerance for combined residues of
the herbicide, glufosinate-ammonium and its metabolites expressed as
butanoic acid, 2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-, monoammonium salt,
2-acetamido-4-methylphosphinico-butanoic acid and 3-methylphosphinico-
propionic acid (expressed as glufosinate free acid equivalents), in or
on raw agricultural commodities grain aspirated fractions at 25.0 parts
per million (ppm); non- transgenic canola, meal at 1.1 ppm; non-
transgenic canola, seed at 0.4 ppm; non- transgenic field corn, forage
at 4.0 ppm; non- transgenic field corn, grain at 0.2 ppm; non-
transgenic field corn, stover at 6.0 ppm; non- transgenic soybean, at
2.0 ppm; non-transgenic soybean, hulls at 5.0 ppm. That notice
referenced a summary of the petition prepared by Bayer CropScience LLC,
the registrant, which is available to the public in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov
.
In the Federal Register of June 27, 2007 (72 FR 35237) (FRL-8133-
4), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the amendment to existing tolerances by
filing of a pesticide petition (PP 6F7161) by Bayer CropScience LLC, 2
T.W. Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC 27709. The petition
proposes to amend the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.473(a) to eliminate the
reference to transgenic crops tolerant to glufosinate ammonium in
Sec. 180.473(a)(2) such that the crop tolerances listed under
Sec. 180.473 (a) General, support uses in all of the crops listed to
include both conventional and transgenic crops and to delete
Sec. 180.473 (a)(1) and (a)(2). This notice clarifies the initial
notice of filing published in the Federal Register of February 28, 2007
(72 FR 9000) (FRL-8115-5). The tolerances for glufosinate-ammonium and
its metabolites listed for the commodities under both paragraphs (a)(1)
and paragraph (a)(2) are proposed to be placed in Sec. 180.473 (a)
General to read as follows: Tolerances are established for residues of
glufosinate-ammonium (butanoic acid, 2-amino-4-
(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-monoammonium salt) and its metabolites
expressed as butanoic acid, 2-amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-,
monoammonium salt, 2-acetamido-4-methylphosphinico-butanoic acid and 3-
methylphosphinico-propionic acid expressed as glufosinate free acid

ppm; soybean at 2.0 ppm and soybean, hulls at 5.0 ppm.
Comments were received on the notices of filing. EPA's response to
these comments is discussed in Unit IV.C.
Bayer's petition asks EPA to consolidate subsections (a)(1) and
(a)(2) of 40 CFR 180.473 which contains tolerances for glufosinate on
various non-transgenic crops and transgenic crops, respectively, and
remove the restriction as to transgenic crops. In part this petition is
related to Bayer's application to EPA to amend its glufosinate
registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) to allow pre-plant burn down application to both transgenic
and non-transgenic field corn, canola, and soybean. Glufosinate is
currently registered foliar uses on the transgenic forms of these
crops. The proposed registration amendment would not alter existing
seasonal application amount limitations. There are currently no FFDCA
tolerances for glufosinate on non-transgenic field corn, canola, and
soybean but FFDCA tolerances are in place for the foliar use on the
transgenic form of these crops. Consolidating subsections (a)(1) and
(a)(2) and removing the transgenic restriction would address the lack
of tolerances for non-transgenic field corn, canola, and soybean.
EPA initially concluded that two tolerance expressions were
appropriate for plants: non-transgenic (40 CFR 180.473 (a)(1)) with
glufosinate ammonium and 3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid and
transgenic crops (40 CFR 180.473 (a)(2)) with glufosinate ammonium, N-
acetyl-glufosinate, and 3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid. Subsequent
to this decision, based upon a petition from Bayer, EPA modified the
tolerance expressions in subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) so that they are
identical for transgenic and non-transgenic crops. 68 FR 55833
(September 29, 2003). This modification was done because EPA concluded
that a single tolerance expression for both transgenic crops and non-
transgenic crops (i.e. glufosinate ammonium, N-acetyl-glufosinate, and
3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid) was appropriate for the following
reasons: 1) Enforcement laboratories do not know if a sample is derived
from transgenic or non-transgenic crop and 2) the enforcement method
quantifies glufosinate ammonium and N-acetyl-glufosinate together (both
are devitalized to the same compound). As a result of the decision, the
tolerance expression for 40 CFR 180.473 (a)(1) was altered to include
N-acetyl-glufosinate; however, the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.473 (a)(2)
remains. EPA has determined that consolidating the existing glufosinate
tolerances in subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) and removing the transgenic
crop restriction, where applicable, is safe and is appropriate.
Tolerance levels will not need to be increased with the addition of a
pre-plant burn down use because the same seasonal amount limitations
are being retained. Given that foliar applications would result in
higher residue levels than pre-plant burn down, allocation of a portion
of the permitted application to the pre-plant burn down use will not
increase the residue level that could be present.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safty
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
[[Page 72624]]
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
FFDCA by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996.
Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in FFDCA 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 proposal to
place all the commodities listed in 180.473 (a)(1) and 180.473 (a)(2)
together in paragraph 180.473(a) based on the rationale for having a
single tolerance expression is appropriate. Tolerance levels for
combined residues of glufosinate-ammonium are unchanged. 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 adverse effects caused by glufosinate-ammonium as well as the
no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-
adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies.
Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the
toxic effects caused by glufosinate ammonium 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
final rule published in the Federal Register of September 29, 2003 (68
FR 55833) (FRL-7327-9).
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 (UFs)
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 UFs. 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
UFs 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 glufosinate ammonium
used for human risk assessment is discussed in Unit III.B. of the final
rule published in the Federal Register of September 29, 2003 (68 FR
55833) (FRL-7327-9).
C. Exposure Assessment
EPA concludes that the tolerance levels for combined residues of
Glufosinate-ammonium are unchanged. The exposure assumptions discussed
in the final rule published in the Federal Register of September 29,
2003 (68 FR 55833) (FRL-7327-9) remain the same.
D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children
A summary of the safety factor for infants and children for
glufosinate ammonium is discussed in Unit III.D. of the final rule
published in the Federal Register of September 29, 2003 (68 FR 55833)
(FRL-7327-9)
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 UFs. For
linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the probability of additional
cancer cases given aggregate exposure. Short-term, intermediate-term,
and long-term risks are evaluated by comparing aggregate exposure to
the LOC to ensure that the MOE called for by the product of all
applicable UFs is not exceeded.
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 revision in
the tolerance expressions for combined residues of glufosinate-ammonium
and its metabolites. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated
with establishing the tolerance are discussed in the Federal Register
of September 29, 2003 (68 FR 55833) (FRL-7327-9).
Accordingly 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 glufosinate-ammonium residues.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
Adequate enforcement methodology gas chromatography 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
Since tolerances levels remain the same and since there are no new
tolerances established, harmonization with CODEX, Canada or Mexico's
MRLs is impacted.
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 glufosinate ammonium, including all anticipated dietary exposures
and all other exposures for which there is reliable information. EPA
[[Page 72625]]
has responded to B. Sachau's generalized comments on numerous previous
occasions. (January 7, 2005, 70 FR 1349) (October 29, 2004, 69 FR
63083).
V. Conclusion
Therefore, the tolerance regulation for the combined residues of
glufosinate-ammonium and its metabolites expressed as butanoic acid, 2-
amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)-, monoammonium salt, 2-acetamido-4-
methylphosphinico-butanoic acid and 3-methylphosphinico-propionic acid
(expressed as glufosinate free acid equivalents), are revised by
placing all the commodities listed Sec. 180.473 (a)(1) and (a)(2)
together in Sec. 180.473 (a).
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408(d) of
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this rule is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April
23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations
under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000) do not apply to this rule. In addition, This
rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).
VII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
