Abstract

This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) (CAS Reg. No 1186225-21-7) when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical formulation. Spring Regulatory Sciences on behalf of Clariant Corporation 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 maximum permissible level for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) on food or feed commodities when used in accordance with these exemptions.

Methyloxirane Polymer With Oxirane Monoether With 1,2-Propanediol 
Mono(2-Methyl-2-Propenoate) in Pesticide Formulations; Exemption From 
the Requirement for a Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement 
of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer 
with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 
monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) (CAS Reg. No 
1186225-21-7) when used as an inert ingredient in a pesticide chemical 
formulation. Spring Regulatory Sciences on behalf of Clariant 
Corporation 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 
maximum permissible level for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 
telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 
monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) on food or 
feed commodities when used in accordance with these exemptions.

DATES: This regulation is effective August 7, 2026. Objections and 
requests for hearings must be received on or before October 6, 2026 and 
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

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(c)(2)(A)(i) 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 exemption is 
``safe.'' FFDCA section 408(c)(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. Pursuant to FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), in establishing or 
maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance, 
EPA must take into account the factors set forth in FFDCA section 
408(b)(2)(C), which require 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. . . .'' 
Additionally, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D) requires that the Agency 
consider, among other things, ``available information concerning the 
cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residues'' and ``other 
substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity.''

C. How can I file an objection or hearing request?

    Under FFDCA section 408(g), 21 U.S.C. 346a(g), any person may file 
an objection to any aspect of this regulation and may also request a 
hearing on that 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 the docket ID 
number EPA-HQ-OPP-2026-0629 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 October 
6, 2026.
    EPA's Administrative Law Judges Division (ALJD), 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 ``Order Urging Electronic Filing and Service,'' dated 
December 3, 2025, which can be found at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2025-12/2025-12-03-order-urging-electronic-filing-and-service.pdf">https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2025-12/2025-12-03-order-urging-electronic-filing-and-service.pdf</a>. Although EPA's regulations require submission via U.S. 
Mail or hand delivery, EPA intends to treat submissions filed via 
electronic means as properly filed submissions; therefore, EPA believes 
the preference for submission via electronic means will not be 
prejudicial. When submitting documents to the ALJD electronically, a 
person should utilize the ALJD e-filing system at <a href="https://yosemite.epa.gov/oa/eab/eab-alj_upload.nsf">https://yosemite.epa.gov/oa/eab/eab-alj_upload.nsf</a>.
    In addition to filing an objection or hearing request with the 
Hearing Clerk as described in 40 CFR part 178, please submit a copy of 
the filing (excluding any Confidential Business Information (CBI)) for 
inclusion in the public docket at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow 
the online instructions for submitting comments. Do not submit 
electronically any information you consider to be CBI or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. If you wish to 
include CBI in your request, please follow the applicable instructions 
at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets#rules">https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets#rules</a> and clearly 
mark the information that you claim to be CBI. Information not marked 
confidential pursuant to 40 CFR part 2 may be disclosed publicly by EPA 
without prior notice.

II. Petition for Exemption

    In the Federal Register of June 15, 2026 (91 FR 35936) (FRL-13201-
02-OCSPP), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 
U.S.C. 346a, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP IN-
12631) by Spring Regulatory Sciences on behalf of Clariant Corporation, 
500 East Morehead, Charlotte, NC 28202. The petition requested that 40 
CFR 180.960 be amended by establishing an exemption from the 
requirement of a tolerance for residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 
telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 
monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) (CAS Reg. No 
1186225-21-7). That document included a summary of the petition 
prepared by Spring Regulatory Sciences on behalf of Clariant 
Corporation, the petitioner, which is available in the docket.
    There were no comments received in response to the notice of 
filing.

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. Final Tolerance Actions

A. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    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), 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 2-propenoic acid, 2-
methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with 
oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) 
including exposure resulting from the exemption established by this 
action. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with 2-
propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-
methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol 
mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) follows.

B. Low Risk Polymer Criteria

    In the case of certain chemical substances that are defined as 
polymers, the Agency has established a set of criteria to identify 
categories of polymers expected to present minimal or no risk. The 
definition of a polymer is given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and the exclusion 
criteria for identifying these low-risk polymers are described in 40 
CFR 723.250(d). 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-
dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 
1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) conforms to the definition 
of a polymer given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and meets the following 
criteria that are used to identify low-risk polymers.
    1. The polymer is not a cationic polymer nor is it reasonably 
anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural aquatic 
environment.
    2. The polymer does contain as an integral part of its composition 
at least two of the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, 
silicon, and sulfur.
    3. The polymer does not contain as an integral part of its 
composition, except as impurities, any element other than those listed 
in 40 CFR 723.250(d)(2)(ii).
    4. The polymer is neither designed nor can it be reasonably 
anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or depolymerize. An 
available biodegradation study supports that 2-propenoic acid, 2-
methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with 
oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) is 
not readily biodegradable (MRID 52685001).
    5. The polymer is manufactured or imported from monomers and/or 
reactants that are already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance 
Inventory or manufactured under an applicable TSCA section 5 exemption.
    6. The polymer is not a water absorbing polymer with a number 
average molecular weight (MW) greater than or equal to 10,000 Daltons.
    7. The polymer does not contain certain perfluoroalkyl moieties 
consisting of a CF3- or longer chain length as listed in 40 CFR 
723.250(d)(6).
    Additionally, the polymer also meets as required the exemption 
criteria: specified in 40 CFR 723.250(e).
    The polymer's number average MW of 3300 Daltons is greater than 
1,000 and less than 10,000 Daltons. The polymer contains less than 10% 
oligomeric material below MW 500 and less than

[[Page 51073]]

25% oligomeric material below MW 1,000, and the polymer contains only 
reactive functional groups listed in 40 CFR 723.250(e)(1)(ii)(A).
    Thus, 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, 
and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol 
mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) meets the criteria for a polymer to be 
considered low risk under 40 CFR 723.250. Based on its conformance to 
the criteria in this unit, no mammalian toxicity is anticipated from 
dietary, inhalation, or dermal exposure to 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 
telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 
monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate).

C. Exposure Assessment

    For the purposes of assessing potential exposure under this 
exemption, EPA considered that 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer 
with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 
monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) could be 
present in all raw and processed agricultural commodities and drinking 
water, and that non-occupational non-dietary exposure was possible. The 
number average MW of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-
dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 
1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) is 3,300 Daltons. 
Generally, a polymer of this size would be poorly absorbed through the 
intact gastrointestinal tract or through intact human skin. Since 2-
propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-
methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol 
mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) conform to the criteria that identify a 
low-risk polymer, there are no concerns for risks associated with any 
potential exposure scenarios that are reasonably foreseeable. The 
Agency has determined that a tolerance is not necessary to protect 
public health.

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.''
    EPA has not found 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-
dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 
1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) to share a common mechanism 
of toxicity with any other substances, and 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 
telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 
monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) does not 
appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For 
the purposes of this tolerance exemption, therefore, EPA has assumed 
that 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-
methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol 
mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) does 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 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. Due to the expected low 
toxicity of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, 
and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol 
mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate), EPA has not used a safety factor analysis 
to assess the risk. For the same reasons no additional safety factor is 
needed for assessing risk to infants and children.

F. Determination of Safety

    Based on the conformance to the criteria used to identify a low-
risk polymer, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty of no 
harm to the U.S. population, including infants and children, from 
aggregate exposure to residues of 2-propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, telomer 
with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer with oxirane 
monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate).

G. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since 
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

H. Conclusion

    Accordingly, EPA finds that exempting residues of 2-propenoic acid, 
2-methyl-, telomer with 1-dodecanethiol, and 2-methyloxirane polymer 
with oxirane monoether with 1,2-propanediol mono(2-methyl-2-propenoate) 
from the requirement of a tolerance will be safe.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at <a href="https://www.epa.gov/regulations/and-executive-orders">https://www.epa.gov/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 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)

    This action is not subject to the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The RFA 
applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking 
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 
553, or any other statute. This rule is not subject to the APA but is 
subject to FFDCA section 408(d), which does not require notice and 
comment rulemaking to take this action in response to a petition.

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

[[Page 51074]]

not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action 
imposes no enforceable duty on any state, local or tribal governments 
or 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 it is not a significant regulatory action under 
section 3(f)(1) of Executive Order 12866, and because EPA does not 
believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this 
action present a disproportionate risk to children.
    However, EPA's 2026 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 documented in the pesticide-specific registration 
review documents, located in the applicable docket at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>.

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).
