II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance
In the Federal Register of July 5, 2023 (88 FR 42935) (FRL-10579-
05-OCSPP), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3),
21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
2E9045) by Interregional Project Number 4 (IR-4), North Carolina State
University, 1730 Varsity Drive, Venture IV, Suite 210, Raleigh, NC
27606. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.649 be amended to
establish tolerances for residues of the herbicide saflufenacil,
including its metabolites and degradates, in or on Barley subgroup 15-
22B at 1 parts per million (ppm); Edible-podded bean subgroup 6-22A at
0.03 ppm; Edible-podded pea subgroup 6-22B at 0.03 ppm; Field corn
subgroup 15-22C at 0.03 ppm; Forage and hay of legumes vegetable group
7-22 (except pea, hay) at 0.1 ppm; Forage, hay, stover, and straw of
cereal grains group 16-22 (except barley and wheat and chia straw) at
0.1 ppm; Fruit, citrus group 10-10 at 0.03 ppm; Fruit, pome group 11-10
at 0.03 ppm; Fruit, stone group 12-12 at 0.03 ppm; Grain sorghum and
millet subgroup 15-22E at 0.03 ppm; Mint, dried leaves at 0.04 ppm;
Mint, fresh leaves at 0.04 ppm; Nut, tree, group 14-12 at 0.03 ppm;
Pulses, dried shelled bean, except soybean, subgroup 6-22E at 0.3 ppm;
Pulses, dried shelled pea subgroup 6-22F at 0.3 ppm; Rapeseed 20A at
0.6 ppm; Rice subgroup 15-22F at 0.03 ppm; Succulent shelled bean
subgroup 6-22C at 0.03 ppm; Succulent shelled pea subgroup 6-22D at
0.03 ppm; Sweet corn subgroup 15-22D at 0.03 ppm; and Wheat subgroup
15-22A at 0.7 ppm.
Upon the establishment of the tolerances requested above, the
petitioner requested that EPA amend 40 CFR 180.649 by removing the
tolerances for residues of saflufenacil in or on Barley, grain at 1.0
ppm; Chia, seed at 0.6 ppm; Rapeseed subgroup 20A at 0.45 ppm
(identified in the July 5, 2023, Federal Register as ``crop subgroup
20A; rapeseed subgroup at 0.45 ppm); Fruit, citrus, group 10 at 0.03
ppm (identified in the July 5, 2023, Federal Register as ``Fruit, pome,
group 10 at 0.03 ppm); Fruit, pome, group 11 at 0.03 ppm; Fruit, stone,
group 12 at 0.03 ppm; Grain, cereal, group 15 (except barley and wheat
grain) at 0.03 ppm; Nut, tree, group 14 at 0.03 ppm; Pea and bean,
dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C at 0.30 ppm; Pea and bean,
succulent shelled, subgroup 6B at 0.03 ppm; Pistachio at 0.03 ppm;
Vegetable, foliage of legume, group 7 (except pea, hay) at 0.10 ppm;
Vegetable, legume, edible podded, subgroup 6A at 0.03 ppm; and Wheat,
grain at 0.60 ppm. That document referenced a summary of the petition
prepared by IR-4, the petitioner, which is available in the docket,
<a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. There were no comments received in
response to the notice of filing.
Based upon review of the data supporting the petition and in
accordance with its authority under FFDCA section 408(d)(4)(A)(i), EPA
is establishing the tolerance for residues of saflufenacil in or on
mint at a different level than requested by the petitioner.
Additionally, EPA is not establishing some of the petitioned-for
tolerances because the request was subsequently withdrawn by the
petitioner. The reasons for these changes are explained in Unit IV.C.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
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. . .
.''
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 saflufenacil including exposure
resulting from the tolerance established by this action. EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks associated with saflufenacil 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 for
[[Page 72996]]
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 EPA considers
referral back to those sections as sufficient to provide an explanation
of the information EPA considered in making its safety determination of
the new rulemaking.
EPA has previously published a tolerance rulemaking in 2015, for
saflufenacil in which EPA concluded, based on the available
information, that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm would
result from aggregate exposure to saflufenacil and established a
tolerance for residues of that chemical. EPA is incorporating
previously published sections from that rulemaking as described further
in this rulemaking, as they remain unchanged.
Toxicological profile. For a discussion of the toxicological
profile for saflufenacil, see Unit III.A. of the saflufenacil tolerance
rulemaking published in the Federal Register of November 25, 2015 (80
FR 73663) (FRL-9936-71).
Toxicological points of departure/Levels of concern. For a summary
of the Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern for
saflufenacil used for human health risk assessment, see Unit III.B. of
the November 25, 2015, rulemaking.
Exposure assessment. Much of the exposure assessment remains
unchanged from the November 2015, rulemaking, except as described
below. The updates are discussed in this section; for a description of
the rest of the EPA approach to and assumptions for the exposure
assessment, see Unit III.C of the November 25, 2015, rulemaking.
EPA's dietary exposure assessments have been updated to include the
additional exposures from the uses associated with the tolerances
established since the November 25, 2015, rulemaking and the additional
exposure from the new use of saflufenacil on mint and the crop group
conversions to fruit, citrus, group 10-10; fruit, pome, group 11-10;
fruit, stone, group 12-12; and nut, tree, group 14-12. The dietary
exposure assessments were conducted with Dietary Exposure Evaluation
Model software using the Food Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID),
Version 4.02, which uses the 2005-2010 food consumption data from the
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey, What We Eat in America (NHANES/WWEIA).
The assessment used the same assumptions as the November 25, 2015,
final rule concerning tolerance-level residues, default processing
factors for all processed commodities, and 100 percent crop treated.
Drinking water exposure. The drinking water numbers have not
changed since the November 25, 2015, rulemaking.
Non-occupational exposure. There are no residential (non-
occupational) uses proposed or currently registered for saflufenacil.
Therefore, a residential risk assessment was not conducted.
Cumulative exposure. 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.'' 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 saflufenacil and any other substances. For
the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has not assumed
that saflufenacil has a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances.
Safety factor for infants and children. EPA continues to conclude
that there are reliable data to support the reduction of the Food
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor from 10X to 1X. See Unit
III.D. of the November 25, 2015, rulemaking for a discussion of the
Agency's rationale for that determination.
Aggregate risks and Determination of safety. EPA determines whether
acute and chronic dietary pesticide exposures are safe by comparing
dietary exposure estimates to the acute population-adjusted dose (aPAD)
and the chronic population-adjusted dose (cPAD).Short-, intermediate-,
and chronic term aggregate risks are evaluated by comparing the
estimated total food, water, and residential exposure to the
appropriate points of departure to ensure that an adequate margin of
exposure (MOE) exists.
Acute dietary risks are below the Agency's level of concern of 100%
of the aPAD; they are less than 1% of the aPAD for all infants (less
than 1 year old), the population subgroup with the highest exposure
estimate. Chronic dietary risks are below the Agency's level of concern
of 100% of the cPAD; they are 26% of the cPAD for all infants (less
than 1 year old), the population group with the highest exposure
estimate. There is no short- or intermediate-term residential exposure
expected since there are no proposed or previously registered
residential uses of saflufenacil. Therefore, the acute and chronic
aggregate risks consist only of the dietary risks from food and water,
and as stated above, these are below the Agency's level of concern.
Based on the lack of evidence of carcinogenicity in two adequate rodent
carcinogenicity studies, saflufenacil is not expected to pose a cancer
risk to humans.
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 saflufenacil residues, including its metabolites
and degradates. 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 document titled
``Saflufenacil. Section 3 Human Health Risk Assessment for Proposed New
Uses on Mint (Peppermint and Spearmint) and Crop Group Conversions and
Expansions'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0080.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
For a discussion of the available analytical enforcement method,
see Unit IV.A. of the February 2, 2024, rulemaking (89 FR 7291) (FRL-
11673-01-OCSPP).
B. International Residue Limits
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 (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4).
The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations 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.
The Codex has not established an MRL for residues of saflufenacil
in or on mint. The Codex has established MRLs for saflufenacil in or on
Fruit, citrus, group 10-10 at 0.01 ppm; Fruit, pome, group 11-10 at
0.01 ppm; Fruit, stone,
[[Page 72997]]
group 12-12 at 0.01 ppm; and Nut, tree, group 14-12 at 0.01 ppm. The
U.S. tolerance levels are not harmonized with these Codex commodity
MRLs. Based on available residue data, use by U.S. growers consistent
with approved label instructions would result in residues that exceed
the Codex MRL. Harmonizing with these Codex MRLs could put U.S. growers
at risk of violative residues despite legal use of saflufenacil
according to the label.
C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances
EPA is establishing the tolerance for residues of saflufenacil in
or on mint at 0.03 ppm instead of the petitioner-proposed 0.04 ppm. As
discussed in the Human Health Risk Assessment, the petitioner's
proposed tolerance of 0.04 ppm includes the parent compound and three
metabolites. However, since EPA determined that the tolerance
expression should only include the parent compound and two metabolites,
the residue calculation was corrected to reflect these residues.
EPA is not establishing some of the petitioned-for tolerances
because the petitioner withdrew the requests for tolerances of residues
of saflufenacil in or on Barley subgroup 15-22B; Edible-podded bean
subgroup 6-22A; Edible-podded pea subgroup 6-22B; Field corn subgroup
15-22C; Forage and hay of legume vegetable group 7-22 (except pea,
hay); Forage, hay, stover and straw of cereal grain group 6-22 (except
barley, chia, and wheat straw); Grain sorghum and millet subgroup 15-
22E; Pulses, dried shelled bean, except soybean, subgroup 6-22E;
Pulses, dried shelled pea, subgroup 6-22F; Rapeseed subgroup 20A; Rice
subgroup 15-22F; Succulent shelled pea subgroup 6-22C; Succulent
shelled pea subgroup 6-22D; Sweet corn subgroup 15-22D and Wheat
subgroup 15-22A. Therefore, EPA is not establishing these tolerances or
removing the related tolerances as requested by IR-4.
V. Conclusion
Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of saflufenacil,
including its metabolites and degradates, in or on Fruit, citrus, group
10-10 at 0.03 ppm; Fruit, pome, group 11-10 at 0.03 ppm; Fruit, stone,
group 12-12 at 0.03 ppm; Mint, dried leaves at 0.03 ppm; Mint fresh
leaves at 0.03 ppm; and Nut, tree, group 14-12 at 0.03 ppm. Upon the
establishment of these tolerances, EPA is removing tolerances for
residues of saflufenacil, including its metabolites and degradates, in
or on fruit, citrus, group 10; fruit, pome, group 11; fruit, stone,
group 12; nut, tree, group 14; and pistachio.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This action establishes tolerances 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 tolerances 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 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).
VII. 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).
