II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of July 7, 2004 (69 FR 40916) (FRL-7362-5), 
EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 
346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 4F6832) 
by ISK Biosciences Corporation, 7470 Auburn Road, Suite A, Concord, 
Ohio 44077. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.613 be amended by 
establishing a tolerance for combined residues of the insecticide 
flonicamid [N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxamide] 
and its metabolites TFNA [4-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid], TFNA-AM [4-
trifluoromethylnicotinamide] TFNG [N-(4-
trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycine] in or on the raw agricultural 
commodities brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A at 1.5 parts per 
million (ppm) and mustard greens at 11 ppm. That notice included a 
summary of the petition prepared by ISK Biosciences Corporation, the 
registrant. There were no comments received in response to the notice 
of filing. There was one comment received in response to the final rule 
published in the Federal Register of August 31, 2005 (70 FR 51604) 
(FRL-7731-6), which is referenced in today's rule. The Agency's 
response is set forth in Unit IV.C.

[[Page 15605]]

    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. . . 
.''
    EPA performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from 
aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. For further discussion of the 
regulatory requirements of section 408 of FFDCA and a complete 
description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/1997/November/Day-26/p30948.htm
.


III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, 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, consistent with section 
408(b)(2) of FFDCA, for a tolerance for combined residues of flonicamid 
[N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxamide] and its 
metabolites TFNA [4-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid], TFNA-AM [4-
trifluoromethylnicotinamide] TFNG [N-(4-
trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycine] in or on the raw agricultural 
commodities brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A at 1.5 ppm and mustard 
greens at 11 ppm. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated 
with establishing the tolerance follows.

A. 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. Specific information on the studies received and the nature 
of the toxic effects caused by flonicamid and its metabolites as well 
as the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) and the lowest observed 
adverse effect level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at 
Unit III.A. of the final rule published in the Federal Register of 
August 31, 2005 (70 FR 51604) (FRL-7731-6).

B. Toxicological Endpoints

    For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no 
appreciable risk, the dose at which no adverse effects are observed 
(the NOAEL) from the toxicology study identified as appropriate for use 
in risk assessment is used to estimate the toxicological level of 
concern (LOC). However, the lowest dose at which adverse effects of 
concern are identified (the LOAEL) is sometimes used for risk 
assessment if no NOAEL was achieved in the toxicology study selected. 
An uncertainty factor (UF) is applied to reflect uncertainties inherent 
in the extrapolation from laboratory animal data to humans and in the 
variations in sensitivity among members of the human population as well 
as other unknowns.
    The linear default risk methodology (Q*) is the primary method 
currently used by the Agency to quantify non-threshold hazards such as 
cancer. The Q* approach assumes that any amount of exposure will lead 
to some degree of cancer risk, estimates risk in terms of the 
probability of occurrence of additional cancer cases.
    A summary of the toxicological endpoints for flonicamid used for 
human risk assessment is discussed in Unit III.B. of the final rule 
published in the Federal Register of August 31, 2005 (70 FR 51604) 
(FRL-7731-6).

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. Tolerances have been 
established (40 CFR 180.613) for the combined residues of flonicamid 
[N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxamide] and its 
metabolites TFNA [4-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid], TFNA-AM [4-
trifluoromethylnicotinamide] and TFNG [N-(4-
trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycine], in or on a variety of raw 
agricultural commodities. Risk assessments were conducted by EPA to 
assess dietary exposures from flonicamid and its metabolites in food as 
follows:
    i. Acute exposure. No acute dietary exposure and risk assessment 
was conducted as discussed in the final rule published in the Federal 
Register of August 31, 2005.
    ii. Chronic exposure. The proposed tolerances for head and stem 
brassica and mustard greens were included in the chronic dietary 
exposure assessment for flonicamid residues on certain commodities as 
set forth in the final rule published in the Federal Register of August 
31, 2005. Tolerances for head and stem brassica and mustard greens were 
not established in that final rule for the following reason: Acceptable 
residue chemistry data for a commodity is required before a tolerance 
may be established; the review of residue chemistry data for head and 
stem brassica and mustard greens had not been completed at that time. 
The residue chemistry data review for head and stem brassica and 
mustard greens is now complete. There is no increment to dietary 
exposure as it has already been taken into account.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The dietaryexposure from 
drinking water is discussed in the final rule published in the Federal 
Register of August 31, 2005.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. As discussed in the final rule 
published in the Federal Register of August 31, 2005, flonicamid is not 
registered for any uses that are likely to result in non-dietary 
exposure.
    4. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of 
toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of the 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 flonicamid and any other 
substances and flonicamid does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite 
produced by other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance 
action, therefore, EPA has not assumed that flonicamid has 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 
the policy statements released by EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs 
concerning common mechanism determinations and procedures for 
cumulating effects from

[[Page 15606]]

substances found to have a common mechanism on EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative/
.


D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408 of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply 
an additional tenfold 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 on toxicity and exposure 
unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a different margin of 
safety will be safe for infants and children. Margins of safety are 
incorporated into EPA risk assessments either directly through use of a 
MOE analysis or through using uncertainty (safety) factors in 
calculating a dose level that poses no appreciable risk to humans. In 
applying this provision, EPA either retains the default value of 10X 
when reliable data do not support the choice of a different factor, or, 
if reliable data are available, EPA uses a different additional safety 
factor value based on the use of traditional uncertainty factors and/or 
special FQPA safety factors, as appropriate.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. As discussed in thefinal 
rule published in the Federal Register of August 31, 2005, there is no 
evidence of prenatal or postnatal sensitivity.
    3. Conclusion. As discussed in the final rule published in the 
Federal Register of August 31, 2005, the FQPA Safety Factor is reduced 
to 1X because:
    i. There is a complete toxicity data base.
    ii. There is a lack of susceptibility evidence in the developmental 
studies and reproductive study (The effects seen in offspring were mild 
and occurred only in one species.
    iii. The dietary food exposure assessment utilizes proposed 
tolerance level, or higher residues and 100% crop treated information 
for all commodities.
    iv. The dietary drinking water assessment (Tier 1 estimates) 
utilizes values generated by model and associated modeling parameters 
which are designed to provide conservative, health protective, high-end 
estimates of water concentrations.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    1. Acute risk. No acute risk is expected for reasons that are 
discussed in the final rule published in the Federal Register of August 
31, 2005.
    2. Chronic risk. The proposed tolerances for head and stem brassica 
and mustard greens were included in the chronic dietary risk assessment 
for flonicamid residues on certain commodities as set forth in the 
final rule published in the Federal Register of August 31, 2005. 
Chronic risk does not exceed levels of concern.
    3. Short-term and intermediate-term risk. Short-term and 
intermediate-term risk assessment was not conducted because residential 
exposure is not expected from the use pattern and/or appropriate 
toxicity endpoints were not identified.
    4. Determination of safety. EPA concludes that there is a 
reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general 
population, and to infants and children from aggregate exposure to 
flonicamid residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology liquid chromatography/mass 
spectrometry (LC/MS) is available to enforce the tolerance expression. 
The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry Branch, 
Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350; 
telephone number: (410) 305-2905; e-mail address: 
residuemethods@epa.gov.


B. International Residue Limits

    There are no Codex, Mexican or Canadian Maximum residue limits 
tolerances. Therefore, no compatibility questions exist with respect to 
Codex.

C. Response to Comments

    One comment was received from a private citizen who opposes the 
approval of any pesticide that leaves a residue on food. The comment 
contained no specific information pertaining to flonicamid but was 
limited to general claims such as EPA was providing inadequate 
protection for Americans. The Agency has received the same comment from 
this commentor on numerous previous occasions and rejects it for the 
reasons previously stated (70 FR 1349, 1354, January 7, 2005), (70 FR 
37686, June 30, 2005), and (69 FR 63096, 63098, (October 29, 2004).

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, the tolerance is established for combined residues of 
flonicamid [N-(cyanomethyl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridinecarboxamide] 
and its metabolites TFNA [4-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid], TFNA-AM [4-
trifluoromethylnicotinamide] TFNG [N-(4-
trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycine] in or on the raw agricultural 
commodities brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A at 1.5 ppm and mustard 
greens at 11 ppm.

VI. Objections and Hearing Requests

    Under section 408(g) of FFDCA, as amended by FQPA, any person may 
file an objection to any aspect of this regulation and may also request 
a hearing on those objections. The EPA procedural regulations which 
govern the submission of objections and requests for hearings appear in 
40 CFR part 178. Although the procedures in those regulations require 
some modification to reflect the amendments made to FFDCA by FQPA, EPA 
will continue to use those procedures, with appropriate adjustments, 
until the necessary modifications can be made. The new section 408(g) 
of FFDCA provides essentially the same process for persons to 
``object'' to a regulation for an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance issued by EPA under new section 408(d) of FFDCA, as was 
provided in the old sections 408 and 409 of FFDCA. However, the period 
for filing objections is now 60 days, rather than 30 days.

A. What Do I Need to Do to File an Objection or Request a Hearing?

    You must file your objection or request a hearing on this 
regulation in accordance with the instructions provided in this unit 
and in 40 CFR part 178. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, you must

format and avoid the use of special characters and any form of 
encryption. Copies of electronic objections and hearing requests will 
also be accepted on disks in WordPerfect 6.1/8.0 or ASCII file format. 
Do not include any CBI in your electronic copy. You may also submit an 
electronic copy of your request at many Federal Depository Libraries.

B. When Will the Agency Grant a Request for a Hearing?

    A request for a hearing will be granted if the Administrator 
determines that the material submitted shows the following: There is a 
genuine and substantial issue of fact; there is a reasonable 
possibility that available evidence identified by the requestor would, 
if established resolve one or more of such issues in favor of the 
requestor, taking into account uncontested claims or facts to the 
contrary; and resolution of the factual issue(s) in the manner sought 
by the requestor would be adequate to justify the action requested (40 
CFR 178.32).

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 rule has been 
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of 
significance, this rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, 
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). 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., or impose 
any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under 
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 
104-4). 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); or OMB review or any Agency action under Executive 
Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health 
Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). 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). 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. In addition, the Agency has determined that this 
action will not have a substantial direct effect on 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism 
(64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to 
develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input 
by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies 
that have federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have federalism 
implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations 
that 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.'' This final rule directly regulates growers, food 
processors, food handlers and food retailers, not States. This action 
does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and 
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions 
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. For these same reasons, the Agency has 
determined that this rule does not have any ``tribal implications'' as 
described in Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6, 
2000). Executive Order 13175, requires EPA to develop an accountable 
process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in 
the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications.'' 
``Policies that have tribal implications'' is defined in the Executive 
Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct effects on 
one or more Indian tribes, 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.'' 
This rule will not have substantial direct effects on tribal 
governments, on the relationship between the Federal Government and 
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified in 
Executive Order 13175. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to 
this rule.

VIII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. 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 this final rule in the Federal Register. This final 
rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
