Abstract
This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant, related adjuvants of surfactant) in pesticide formulations used pre- and post-harvest as well as in formulations applied to livestock. Spring Regulatory Sciences, on behalf of Nouryon Chemicals LLC (USA), submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a tolerance for residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), on food or feed commodities or when applied to livestock.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium
salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), when used as an inert ingredient
(surfactant, related adjuvants of surfactant) in pesticide formulations
used pre- and post-harvest as well as in formulations applied to
livestock. Spring Regulatory Sciences, on behalf of Nouryon Chemicals
LLC (USA), submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a
tolerance for residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane,
mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts (CAS
Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), on food or feed commodities or when applied to
livestock.

II. Background and Statutory Findings
In the Federal Register of June 1, 2021 (86 FR 29231) (FRL-10023-
95), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C.
346a, announcing the receipt of a pesticide petition (PP IN-11515)
filed by Spring Regulatory Sciences, 6620 Cypresswood Dr., Suite 250,
Spring, TX 77379, on behalf of Nouryon Chemicals LLC, (USA), 131 S
Dearborn, Suite 1000, Chicago, IL 60603-5566. The petition requested
that 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 be amended by adding oxirane, 2-methyl-
, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8) for use as an
inert ingredient at no more than 30% by weight of the final pesticide
formulation to the current tolerance exemption for alkyl alcohol
alkoxylate phosphate and sulfate derivatives (AAAPSDs). That document
included a summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner and
solicited comments on the petitioner's request. The Agency did not
receive any public comments.
[[Page 56900]]
III. Inert Ingredient Definition
Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active
ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not
limited to, the following types of ingredients (except when they have a
pesticidal efficacy of their own): Solvents such as alcohols and
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty
acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as
carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing
agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents;
and emulsifiers. The term ``inert'' is not intended to imply
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active.
Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a
tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert
ingredients.
IV. Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for 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(c)(2)(B) requires EPA to take into
account the factors identified in section 408(b)(2)(C) and (D) when
determining whether an exemption is safe.
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.''
Section 408(b)(2)(D) lists other factors for consideration when making
a safety determination.
EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be shown that the risks from aggregate
exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable
circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order
to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert
ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in
conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to
determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance may be established.
Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability and
the relationship of this information 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. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of
and to make a determination on aggregate exposure to oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts including exposure resulting from the
exemption established by this action. EPA's assessment of exposures and
risks associated with oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-
C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts follows.
In an effort to streamline its publications in the Federal
Register, EPA is not reprinting sections that repeat what has been
previously published for tolerance rulemakings of the same pesticide
chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical
remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between
tolerance rulemakings, and republishing the same sections is
unnecessary. EPA considers referral back to those sections as
sufficient to provide an explanation of the information EPA considered
in making its safety determination for the new rulemaking.
EPA issued a rule in July 2009 exempting alkyl alcohol alkoxylate
phosphate derivatives (AAAPDs) and alkyl alcohol alkoxylate sulfate
derivatives (AAASDs), collectively referred to as AAAPSDs. Oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts (CAS No. 2275654-37-8) is an AAAPD that is
synthesized as a mixture. Based on the structural and physicochemical
similarities between oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-
11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts and other
AAAPSDs previously assessed by EPA, the data used in the 2009 risk
assessment for AAAPSDs is considered appropriate to assess oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts.
A. Toxicological Profile
The toxicological profile of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium
salts remain unchanged from the Toxicological Profile for the AAAPSDs
in Unit IV.A. of the July 29, 2009, rulemaking (74 FR 37571) (FRL-8424-
6). Refer to that section for a discussion of the Toxicological Profile
of AAAPSDs.
B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern
The Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern of oxirane,
2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts remain unchanged because the toxicological
database remains the same for the AAAPSDs in Unit IV.B. of the July 29,
2009, rulemaking (74 FR 37571) (FRL-8424-6). Refer to that section for
a discussion of the Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern
of AAAPSDs.
C. Exposure Assessment
The exposure assessment for oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium
salts remains unchanged from the July 29, 2009, rulemaking and
supporting human health risk assessment for the AAAPSDs (D365210, June
8, 2009), because the PODs and use limitation remain the same.
D. Cumulative Effects From Substances With a Common Mechanism of
Toxicity
Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of 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.''
[[Page 56901]]
EPA has not determined that oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium
salts share a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substances,
and oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl
ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts do not appear to produce
a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of
this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts do not have 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
<a href="https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/cumulative-assessment-risk-pesticides">https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/cumulative-assessment-risk-pesticides</a>.
E. Additional Safety Factor for the Protection of Infants and Children
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold (10X) 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 unless EPA concludes
that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and
children. EPA continues to conclude that there is reliable data showing
that the safety of infants and children would be adequately protected
if the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor were reduced
from 10x to 1x. The reasons for that decision are articulated in Unit
IV.D. of the July 29, 2009, rulemaking.
F. Determination of Safety
As noted in the July 29, 2009, rulemaking, provided that the
AAAPSDs are limited to no more than 30% by weight in the final
formulation, there were no dietary, residential, or aggregate risks of
concern for the U.S. population and all subpopulations. Based on its
assessment of human health risk, EPA established exemptions from the
requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.920, and 180.930
for use of the AAAPSDs as inert ingredients at no more than 30% by
weight in pesticide end-use products. Similarly, provided oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts, which is a AAAPD, is limited to no more
than 30% by weight in the final formulation, EPA concludes that there
are no dietary, residential, or aggregate risks of concern for the U.S.
population and all subpopulations. Therefore, based on the risk
assessments and information described above, EPA concludes there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general
population, or to infants and children, from aggregate exposure to
oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers,
C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts. More detailed information about
the Agency's analysis can be found at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> in
the documents titled ``Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate
Derivatives (AAAPDs and AAASDs--JITF CST 2 Inert Ingredients); Human
Health Risk Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the
Requirement of a Tolerance When Used as Inert Ingredients in Pesticide
Formulations''; and ``IN-11515; Petition to Add oxirane, 2-methyl-,
polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates,
potassium salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), to the Current Tolerance
Exemption for Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate
Derivatives (AAAPSDs).'' These documents can be found in docket ID
numbers EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0131 and EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0323.
V. Other Considerations
Analytical Enforcement Methodology
An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is not establishing a numerical tolerance for residues of
oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers,
C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts in or on any food commodities.
EPA is establishing a limitation on the amount of oxirane, 2-methyl-,
polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates,
potassium salts that may be used in pesticide formulations. This
limitation will be enforced through the pesticide registration process
under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(``FIFRA''), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. EPA will not register any pesticide
formulation for food use that exceeds 30% by weight of oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich,
phosphates, potassium salts in the final pesticide formulation.
VI. Conclusion
EPA determines that residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium
salts when limited to no more than 30% by weight in pesticide
formulations are safe. Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance is established under 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 for
oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers,
C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts, when used as an inert ingredient
at no more than 30% by weight in pesticide formulations.
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This action establishes an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance under FFDCA section 408(d) 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 action has been exempted from review
under Executive Order 12866, this action 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), or Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997). This action 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 FFDCA section 408(d), such as the exemptions 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.
[[Page 56902]]
This action 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 FFDCA section 408(n)(4). 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 9, 2000), do not apply to this action. In addition,
this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
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 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
VIII. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
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
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
