II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
In the Federal Register of (June 26, 2009) (74 FR 30487) (FRL-8411-
5), EPA issued a proposal to revoke, modify, and establish specific
tolerances for residues of the herbicides metolachlor, S-metolachlor,
2,4-D; and the insecticides bifenazate and buprofezin. Also, the
proposal of June 26, 2009, 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 revoking, modifying, and establishing
specific tolerances for residues of metolachlor, S-metolahclor, 2,4-D,
bifenazate, and buprofezin in or on commodities listed in the
regulatory text of this document.
EPA is finalizing these tolerance actions in order to implement the
tolerance recommendations made during the reregistration and tolerance
reassessment processes (including follow-up on canceled or additional
uses of pesticides). As part of these processes, 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 Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) and Report on FQPA Tolerance Reassessment
Progress and Interim Risk Management Decision (TRED) for the active
ingredient. REDs and TREDs 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 and TREDs 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 at http://www.epa.gov/ncepihom and 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
at http://www.ntis.gov. Electronic copies of REDs and TREDs are
available on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov and http://
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 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.
EPA has historically been concerned that retention of tolerances
that are not necessary to cover residues in or on legally treated foods
may encourage misuse of pesticides within the United States.
Generally, EPA will proceed with the revocation of these tolerances
on the grounds discussed in Unit II.A. if one of the following
conditions applies:
1. Prior to EPA's issuance of a FFDCA section 408(f) order
requesting additional data or issuance of a FFDCA section 408(d) or (e)
order revoking the tolerances on other grounds, commenters retract the
comment identifying a need for the tolerance to be retained.
2. EPA independently verifies that the tolerance is no longer
needed.
3. The tolerance is not supported by data that demonstrate that the
tolerance meets the requirements under FQPA.
This final rule does not revoke those tolerances for which EPA
received comments stating a need for the tolerance to be retained. In
response to the proposal published in the Federal Register of June 26,
2009 (74 FR 30487), EPA received no comments during the 60-day public
comment period.
B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
EPA may issue a regulation establishing, modifying, or revoking a
tolerance under FFDCA section 408(e). In this final rule, EPA is
establishing, modifying, and revoking tolerances to implement the
tolerance recommendations made during the reregistration and tolerance
reassessment processes, and as follow-up on canceled uses of
pesticides. As part of these processes, EPA is required to determine
whether each of the amended tolerances meets the safety standards under
FFDCA. The safety finding determination is found in detail in each
post-FQPA RED and TRED for the active ingredient. REDs and TREDs
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 and electronic copies of
[[Page 48410]]
the REDs and TREDs are available as provided in Unit II.A.
EPA has issued a TRED for metolachlor, whose RED was completed
prior to FQPA and made a safety finding which reassessed its tolerances
according to FFDCA standard, maintaining them when new tolerances were
established as noted in Unit II.A. REDs and TREDs contain the Agency's
evaluation of the database for these pesticides, including statements
regarding additional data on the active ingredients that may be needed
to confirm the potential human health and environmental risk
assessments associated with current product uses, and REDs state
conditions under which these uses and products will be eligible for
reregistration. The REDs and TREDs recommended the establishment,
modification, and/or revocation of specific tolerances. RED and TRED
recommendations such as establishing or modifying tolerances, and in
some cases revoking tolerances, are the result of assessment under the
FFDCA standard of ``reasonable certainty of no harm.'' However,
tolerance revocations recommended in REDs and TREDs that are made final
in this document do not need such assessment when the tolerances are no
longer necessary.
EPA's general practice is to revoke tolerances for residues of
pesticide active ingredients on crops for which FIFRA registrations no
longer exist and on which the pesticide may therefore no longer be used
in the United States. EPA has historically been concerned that
retention of tolerances that are not necessary to cover residues in or
on legally treated foods may encourage misuse of pesticides within the
United States. Nonetheless, EPA will establish and maintain tolerances
even when corresponding domestic uses are canceled if the tolerances,
which EPA refers to as ``import tolerances,'' are necessary to allow
importation into the United States of food containing such pesticide
residues. However, where there are no imported commodities that require
these import tolerances, the Agency believes it is appropriate to
revoke tolerances for unregistered pesticides in order to prevent
potential misuse.
C. When Do These Actions Become Effective?
These actions become effective on the date of publication of this
final rule in the Federal Register. For this final rule, the tolerances
that were revoked because registered uses did not exist concerned uses
which have been canceled, in some cases, for many years. The Agency
believes that existing stocks of pesticide products labeled for the
uses associated with the tolerances revoked herein have been completely
exhausted and that treated commodities have had sufficient time for
passage through the channels of trade.
Any commodities listed in the regulatory text of this document that
are treated with the pesticides subject to this final rule, and that
are in the channels of trade following the tolerance revocations, shall
be subject to FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established by FQPA. Under
this unit, any residues of these pesticides in or on such food shall
not render the food adulterated so long as it is shown to the
satisfaction of the Food and Drug Administration that:
1. The residue is present as the result of an application or use of
the pesticide at a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA.
2. The residue does not exceed the level that was authorized at the
time of the application or use to be present on the food under a
tolerance or exemption from tolerance. Evidence to show that food was
lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates that the
pesticide was applied to such food.
III. Are There Any International Trade Issues Raised by this Final
Action?
In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, as required by section 408(b)(4)
of FFDCA. The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food and Agriculture
Organization/World Health Organization food standards program, and it
is recognized as an international food safety standards-setting
organization in trade agreements to which the United States is a party.
EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from a Codex MRL;
however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain the reasons
for departing from the Codex level in a notice published for public
comment. EPA's effort to harmonize with Codex MRLs is summarized in the
tolerance reassessment section of individual REDs and TREDs, and in the
Residue Chemistry document which supports the RED and TRED, as
mentioned in the proposed rule cited in Unit II.A. Specific tolerance
actions in this final rule and how they compare to Codex MRLs (if any)
is discussed in Unit II.A.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
In this final rule, EPA establishes tolerances under FFDCA section
408(e), and also modifies and revokes specific tolerances established
under FFDCA section 408. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
exempted these types of actions (e.g., establishment and modification
of a tolerance and tolerance revocation for which extraordinary
circumstances do not exist) from review under Executive Order 12866,
entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
Because this final rule has been exempted from review under Executive
Order 12866 due to its lack of significance, this final 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. 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 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), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note). Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether establishment of
tolerances, exemptions from tolerances, raising of tolerance levels,
expansion of exemptions, or revocations 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. These analyses for tolerance
establishments and modifications, and for tolerance revocations were
published on May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950) and on December
[[Page 48411]]
17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL-5753-1), respectively, and were 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 final rule, the Agency hereby certifies
that this final rule will not have a significant negative 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 this
final rule). Furthermore, for the pesticide named in this final rule,
the Agency knows of no extraordinary circumstances that exist as to the
present action 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. For these same reasons, the Agency has
determined that this final 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 final 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 final rule.
V. 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 final 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).
