[EPA-HQ-OPP-2015-0858; FRL-9946-16]
Alcohols, C>14, Ethoxylated; Exemption From the Requirement of a
Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation amends an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly
(oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain
contains a minimum of six carbons, and [alpha] alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the
alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons and a minimum number
average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 (herein referred to as ``AAAs''
(alkyl alcohol alkoxylates)) to include alcohols, C>14,
ethoxylated, Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number (CAS Reg. No.)
251553-55-6 when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant) in pesticide
formulations. Baker Petrolite LLC submitted a petition to EPA under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an amendment
to an existing exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level
for residues of alcohols, C>14, ethoxylated.
DATES: This regulation is effective June 13, 2016. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before August 12, 2016,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Petition for Exemption
In the Federal Register of August 5, 2009 (74 FR 38935) (FRL-8430-
1), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C.
346a, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 9E7534) by The
Joint Inerts Task Force (JITF), Cluster Support Team Number 1 (CST1),
c/o CropLife America, 1156 15th Street NW., Suite 400, Washington, DC
20005. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.910, 40 CFR 180.930, 40
CFR 180.940(a), and 40 CFR 180.960 be amended by establishing
exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of a group
of substances known as AAAs. The exemptions narratively describe the
subject chemical as [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene)
and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a
minimum of six carbons and specify the individual chemicals covered by
the exemptions by a listing of CAS Reg. Nos. The current petition seeks
to expand these exemptions by adding an additional chemical, alcohols,
C>14, ethoxylated, identified by CAS Reg. No. 251553-55-6.
In the Federal Register of March 16, 2016 (81 FR 14032) (FRL- 9942-
86), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C.
346A, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (IN-10889) by Baker
Petrolite LLC (12645 W. Airport Blvd., Sugar Land, TX 77478). The
petition requested
[[Page 38097]]
that 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 180.960 be amended by
modifying the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for
residues of AAAs by adding residues of alcohols, C>14,
ethoxylated which meets the chemical identity [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the
alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons. In cases where the
minimum number average molecular weight is 1,100 or more, the request
is to include the alcohols, C>14, ethoxylated under 40 CFR
180.960. For lower the molecular weights the request is to amend the
existing exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR
180.910, 180.930, and 180.940(a).
Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
confirmed that the requested CAS Reg. No. is acceptable for
consideration under the currently approved descriptor. This
determination is based on the Agency's risk assessment which can be
found at http://www.regulations.gov in document ``IN-10544. Requesting
to Amend the Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance for [alpha]-
alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene)
polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons, and
[alpha]-alkyl- [omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or
poly(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of
six carbons and a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu)
1,100, under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a) or 180.960.'' in
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-2010.
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. Aggregate 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(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. . . .''
EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be clearly demonstrated 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(c)(2)(A), 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. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for AAAs including exposure
resulting from the exemption established by this action. EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks associated with AAAs follows.
The Agency agrees with the petitioner that alcohols,
C>14, ethoxylated, CAS Reg. No. 251553-55-6, is an AAA
having a molecular structure conforming to the chemical description
given in the tolerance exemption expression, i.e., [alpha]-alkyl-
[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers
where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons and which do
not contain additional structural elements that are not included within
the tolerance exemption expression description. In 2009, in
establishing the exemption for the AAAs, EPA assessed their safety
generally using worst case exposure assumptions. (August 5, 2009 (74 FR
38935)). EPA concluded that that assessment showed that exempting the
AAAs from the requirement from a tolerance would be safe. Inclusion of
additional chemicals described above in the risk assessment for the
AAAs would in no way alter that prior risk assessment given the generic
findings on toxicity and the worst case exposure assumptions used in
that risk assessment. Accordingly, based on the findings in that
earlier rule, EPA has determined that there is a reasonable certainty
that no harm to any population subgroup, including infants and
children, will result from aggregate exposure to AAAs, by including the
additional chemicals described above, under reasonably foreseeable
circumstances. Therefore, the amendment of an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a),
and 180.960, for residues of AAAs to include the chemical described
above is safe under FFDCA section 408.
V. Other Considerations
A. 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.
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
[[Page 38098]]
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 not established a MRL for AAAs.
C. Response to Comments
No comments have been received.
VI. Conclusions
Therefore, the exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance under
40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 180.960 for [alpha]-alkyl-
[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers
when used as an inert ingredient as a surfactant in pesticide
formulations applied to growing crops, animals, or food contact
surfaces are amended to add the CAS Reg. No. 251553-55-6 to the
description of AAAs.
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408(d) of
FFDCA 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 final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, 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) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). 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., 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 section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance 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 final rule 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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 final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4).
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).
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).
