SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them:
<bullet> Crop production (NAICS code 111).
<bullet> Animal production (NAICS code 112).
<bullet> Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
<bullet> Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
If you have any questions regarding the applicability of this
action to a particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
B. What is EPA's authority for taking this action?
EPA is issuing this rulemaking under section 408 of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a. FFDCA section
408(b)(2)(A)(i) 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.'' FFDCA section
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) 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. FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C)
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 . . .''
C. How can I file an objection or hearing request?
Under FFDCA section 408(g), 21 U.S.C. 346a, any person may file an
objection to any aspect of this regulation and may also request a
hearing on those objections. If you fail to file an objection to the
final rule within the time period specified in the final rule, you will
have waived the right to raise any issues resolved in the final rule.
You must file your objection or request a hearing on this regulation in
accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR part 178. To ensure
proper receipt by EPA, you must identify docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2024-0239 in the subject line on the first page of your submission. All
objections and requests for a hearing must be in writing, and must be
received by the Hearing Clerk on or before March 16, 2026.
The EPA's Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ), in which the
Hearing Clerk is housed, urges parties to file and serve documents by
electronic means only, notwithstanding any other particular
requirements set forth in other procedural rules governing those
proceedings. See ``Revised Order Urging Electronic Filing and
Service,'' dated June 22, 2023, which can be found at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-06/2023-06-22%20-%20revised%20order%20urging%20electronic%20filing%20and%20service.pdf">https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-06/2023-06-22%20-%20revised%20order%20urging%20electronic%20filing%20and%20service.pdf</a>.
Although the EPA's regulations require submission via U.S. Mail or hand
delivery, the EPA intends to treat submissions filed via electronic
means as properly filed submissions; therefore, the EPA believes the
preference for submission via electronic means will not be prejudicial.

confidential pursuant to 40 CFR part 2 may be disclosed publicly by EPA
without prior notice.
II. Petitioned-For Tolerance
In the Federal Register of March 11, 2025, (90 FR 11688) (FRL-
11682-12-OCSPP), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section
408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of pesticide
petitions (PP 4F9115 and 4F9119) by ISK Biosciences Corporation, 7470
Auburn Road, Suite A, Concord, Ohio 44077.
The petition 4F9115 requested to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR
180.660 for residues of the fungicide pyriofenone (5-chloro-2-methoxy-
4-methyl-3-pyridinyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylphenyl)methanone,
including its metabolites and degradates in or on apple at 0.30 parts
per million (ppm); apple, wet pomace at 0.69 ppm; and cherry subgroup
12-12A at 1.50 ppm.
The petition 4F9119 requested to modify the existing tolerance in
40 CFR 180.660 for residues of pyriofenone, including its metabolites
and degradates, in or on berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G (except
cranberry) at 2.0 ppm.
The March 11, 2025, Federal Register notice, (90 FR 11688) (FRL-
11682-12-OCSPP), referenced a summary of the petitions submitted by ISK
Biosciences Corporation, the registrant of all currently registered
pyriofenone pesticide products, which is available in docket EPA-HQ-
OPP-2024-0239 at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.
Eight comments were received in response to the March 11, 2025,
notice of filing. The Northwest Horticultural Council and a student
from Utah State University (USU) commented in support of the
registration of additional uses on and establishment of tolerances for
apple and cherry. Northwest Horticultural Council acknowledged the
effect fungal diseases have on apple and cherry and expressed the need
for management. They acknowledged that registering pyriofenone on
apples and cherries will help prevent fungicide resistance amongst
fungicides with differing Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC)
groups. The student from USU commented that pyriofenone, as regulated
by the Agency, will be a boon rather than a threat.
Other comments from the general public expressed concern over the
excessive use of pesticides on crops, persistence of the chemical in
the environment, the long-term health effects to vulnerable
populations, and the impact on non-target species. Several commenters
requested that EPA conduct more-detailed environmental risk assessments
and other research before setting the requested tolerances.
Although the Agency recognizes that some individuals believe
pesticides should be banned on agricultural crops, the existing legal
framework provided by Section 408 of the FFDCA authorizes EPA to
establish tolerances when it determines that the tolerance is safe.
Upon consideration of the validity, completeness, and reliability of
the available data, as well as other factors required by the FFDCA, EPA
has determined that these pyriofenone tolerances are safe. The
commenters provided no information demonstrating that pyriofenone
tolerances are not safe at the levels set by EPA, nor did the
commenters provide any basis for concluding that the tolerances would
have a disproportionate effect on any population.
Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA is
establishing certain requested tolerances at different levels than what
were proposed. The reasons for these changes are explained in Unit
IV.D.
III. Final Tolerance Action
A. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
1. EPA's Safety Determination. 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 pyriofenone including exposure resulting from the tolerances
established by this action. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks
associated with pyriofenone 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 EPA considers referral back to those
sections sufficient to provide an explanation of the information EPA
considered in making its safety determination for the new rulemaking.
EPA has previously published tolerance rulemakings for pyriofenone
in which EPA concluded, based on the available information, that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm would result from aggregate
exposure to pyriofenone and established tolerances for residues of that
chemical (84 FR 24983) (FRL-9993-11). EPA is incorporating previously
published sections from these rulemakings as described further in this
rulemaking, as they remain unchanged.
B. 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. For a discussion of the Toxicological Profile of pyriofenone,
see Unit III.A. of the May 30, 2019, rulemaking (84 FR 24983) (FRL-
9993-11).
C. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern
Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to
determine the dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL)
and the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified
(the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are used in conjunction with
the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--generally referred to as
[[Page 1394]]
a population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe
margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes
that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the
Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of
the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the
general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete
description of the risk assessment process, see <a href="https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/human-health-risk-pesticides">https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/human-health-risk-pesticides</a>.
For a discussion of the Toxicological PODs/Levels of Concern for
pyriofenone, see Unit III.B. of the May 30, 2019, rulemaking. A summary
of the toxicological endpoints for pyriofenone used for human risk
assessment of the instant petitions can be found at <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a> in the document ``Pyriofenone. Human Health Risk
Assessment for the Petition of New Uses on Cherry Crop Subgroup 12-12A
and Apple; and Petition to Amend Tolerance on Berry, Low Growing,
Subgroup 13-07G, Except Cranberry'' on pages 19-20 in Docket ID number
EPA-HQ-OPP-2024-0239. The PODs and LOCs for pyriofenone remain
unchanged since the May 30, 2019, rulemaking.
D. Exposure Assessment
EPA's dietary exposure assessments have been updated to include the
additional exposure from the new uses of pyriofenone on apple and
cherry subgroup 12-12A and berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G (except
cranberry). An acute dietary exposure assessment was not performed as
there are no appropriate toxicological effects attributable to a single
exposure (dose). A conservative chronic dietary exposure assessment was
performed for pyriofenone, assuming 100 percent crop treated (PCT),
tolerance-level residues, and default processing factors or empirical
processing factors, where available. The chronic dietary exposure
assessment was conducted using the updated Dietary Exposure Evaluation
Model that incorporates the What We Eat in America consumption data
from 2005-2010. The chronic estimated drinking water concentration
(EDWC) of 3.9 parts per billion (ppb) is unchanged from Unit III.C.2.
of the May 30, 2019, rulemaking (84 FR 24983) (FRL-9993-11) and was
directly incorporated into the chronic assessment. A cancer dietary
assessment was not conducted because pyriofenone is classified as ``not
likely to be carcinogenic to humans.'' Because there are no existing or
proposed residential uses associated with pyriofenone, there is not
expected to be any residential handler exposure or post-application
exposures.
Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity for pyriofenone is outlined in Unit III.C.4. of the May 30,
2019, rulemaking (84 FR 24983) (FRL-9993-11). There have been no other
changes.
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.''
E. Safety Factor for Infants and Children
1. In general. FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) 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 database 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 Food Quality Protection
Act (FQPA) Safety Factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either
retains the default value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety
factor when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a
different factor.
2. Conclusion. EPA continues to conclude that there are reliable
data to support the reduction of the FQPA safety factor from 10X to 1X.
See Unit III.D. of the May 30, 2019, rulemaking (84 FR 24983) (FRL-
9993-11) for a discussion of the Agency's rationale for that
determination.
F. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety
For a discussion of the aggregate risks and determination of safety
of pyriofenone, see Unit III.E. of the May 30, 2019, rulemaking (84 FR
24983) (FRL-9993-11). There have been no additional changes for this
final rule.
1. Acute risk. No adverse effect resulting from a single oral
exposure was identified, and no acute dietary endpoint was selected.
Therefore, pyriofenone is not expected to pose an acute risk.
2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in Unit
III.E. of the May 30, 2019, final rule for chronic exposure (84 FR
24983) (FRL-9993-11), updated with the new uses assessed for the
instant petitions, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to
pyriofenone from food and water will utilize 9.2% of the cPAD for
children 1-2 years old, the population group with the highest exposure.
Chronic aggregate risk is equivalent to chronic dietary risk, which is
not of concern.
3. Short- and intermediate- term risk. There are no residential
uses for pyriofenone; therefore, short- and intermediate-term
residential exposure is not expected.
4. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Pyriofenone is
classified as ``Not Likely to Be Carcinogenic to Humans;'' therefore,
EPA does not expect pyriofenone exposures to pose an aggregate cancer
risk.
5. Determination of safety. Therefore, based on these risk
assessments and information described above, 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
pyriofenone residues. More information on this action can be found in
the document titled ``Pyriofenone. Human Health Risk Assessment for the
Petition of New Uses on Cherry Crop Subgroup 12-12A and Apple; and
Petition to Amend Tolerance on Berry, Low Growing, Subgroup 13-07G,
Except Cranberry'' in Docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2024-0239.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
For a discussion of the available analytical enforcement method,
see Unit IV.A. of the May 30, 2019, rulemaking.
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 a MRL for pyriofenone on apple or
cherry,
[[Page 1395]]
subgroup 12-12A. However, the Codex has established MRLs for
pyriofenone in or on berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G at 1.5 ppm for
bush berries and 0.5 ppm for low growing berries. These MRLs are
different than the tolerances proposed for pyriofenone in the United
States by the petition. The petitioner requested the change in
tolerance to align with the Japanese MRL. This requested change was
prompted by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and
Fisheries to assist Japanese growers in their efforts to export
strawberries into the United States.
C. Revisions to Petitioned-for Tolerances
The Agency is removing the trailing zeros for the cherry subgroup
12-12A and apple proposed tolerances to be consistent with OECD
rounding classes and agency standards, as well as making a non-
substantive change to remove the parentheses from Berry, Low Growing,
Subgroup 13-07G, except cranberry. Based on the apple highest average
field trial residue in combination with the empirical processing factor
for wet apple pomace, EPA is establishing a lower-than-requested
tolerance of 0.5 ppm for wet apple pomace.
D. Effective and Expiration Date(s)
In general, a tolerance action is effective on the date of
publication of the final rule in the Federal Register. For actions in
the final rule that lower or revoke existing tolerances, EPA will set
an expiration date for the existing tolerance of six months after the
date of publication of the final rule in the Federal Register, in order
to allow a reasonable interval for producers in exporting members of
the World Trade Organization's (WTO's) Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS)
Measures Agreement to adapt to the requirements.
V. Conclusion
Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of pyriofenone,
(5-chloro-2-methoxy-4-methyl-3-pyridinyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-
methylphenyl)methanone, including its metabolites and degradates, in or
on apple at 0.3 ppm; apple, wet pomace at 0.5 ppm; modifying the
tolerance for berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G (except cranberry) at
2 ppm.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders
can be found at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/and-executive-orders">https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/and-executive-orders</a>.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review
This action is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993), because it establishes or modifies a
pesticide tolerance or a tolerance exemption under FFDCA section 408 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.
B. Executive Order 14192: Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation
Executive Order 14192 (90 FR 9065, February 6, 2025) does not apply
because actions that establish a tolerance under FFDCA section 408 are
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., because it does not contain any
information collection activities.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
Since tolerance actions that are established on the basis of a
petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance in this
final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., do not apply to this
action.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more (in 1995 dollars and adjusted annually for inflation) as described
in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely
affect small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any
State, local, or Tribal governments or on the private sector.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it will
not 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.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have Tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it will
not have substantial direct effects on Tribal governments, 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.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because tolerance actions like this one are exempt from
review under Executive Order 12866. However, EPA's 2021 Policy on
Children's Health applies to this action. This rule finalizes tolerance
actions under the FFDCA, which 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 . .
.'' (FFDCA 408(b)(2)(C)). The Agency's consideration is summarized in
Unit III.E.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355)
(May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
J. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This action does not involve technical standards that would require
Agency consideration under NTTAA section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272.
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
