Subject:  Revisions to the 2006 Aliphatic Solvents RED

Dear Registrant:

	The Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for the Chemical Case,
Aliphatic Solvents, was signed on July 12, 2006, and made available on
the Internet in a Federal Register Notice dated August 23, 2006 (at
which time, EDocket EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0284 was also established).  This
RED was conducted following the procedures for the Low-Risk process (as
described in the Federal Register on May 14, 2004; Fed Reg 69 (94):
26819-26823).  Early in the process, a SMART Meeting was held to brief
the stake-holders on the process and to receive their feedback (on April
19, 2006), but there was no other pre-RED comment period; however, once
the RED was written and following the announcement of the RED in the
Federal Register, there was a 60 day public comment period.  The comment
period closed on October 23, 2006.  Based on some comments received from
stakeholders, the Agency had made a few revisions, as well as some minor
corrections and editorial clarifications and other updates needed in the
RED, including changes in the text, generally minor revisions, as well
as the addition of a Labeling Changes Summary Table and a Acute
Mammalian Toxicity Batching Memo, each of which documents are further
described in this letter, and inserted as additional appendices within
the revised RED document being announced for public comment.  This
Revised RED document is now marked “[Revised: November 29, 2007]” on
the title page, and supersedes the July 12, 2006, RED document which was
previously posted on the Internet.  Registrants, and all other
interested parties should use this Revised RED for Aliphatic Solvents
document for purposes of implementing and commenting on the Agency RED.

 	The Agency is providing a 60 day public comment period for this
Revised RED.  This Revised RED for Aliphatic Solvents and supporting
documents can also be found on the Agency’s online docketing system,
EDOCKET, at   HYPERLINK "http://www.epa.gov/edocket" 
http://www.epa.gov/edocket  (again in the EDocket EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0284).
 Public comments, once submitted, will also be available via EDOCKET. 
The Agency encourages commenters to use the EDOCKET system to submit
their comments.

The Revised RED document and other supporting documents announced for
public comment include the following revisions, corrections,
clarifications, and other amendments, which unless otherwise noted, were
the result of the Agency review of the earlier RED or reflect the status
of ongoing issues:  

Revisions include:

There were some revisions made to each of the two Key Labeling Issues,
which appeared on page 32 of the RED:

Based on feedback received from stakeholders, in the first bullet, the
maximum label rate for use in California was increased from 1800 gallons
of spray mix to 2000 gallons of spray mix, to account for concerns
regarding the usage against an important insect pest in California, as
well as due to the size of spray equipment expected to be used in that
state.  The maximum label rate on page 32 for Texas and Florida, 1500
gallons of spray mix, remain unchanged.  (In addition, editorial changes
were made in this bullet, as follows:  the words “per acre” were
added in all instances following “spray mix” in the first bullet
paragraph, to reflect the wording in the beginning of the paragraph;
plus, “(TCS)” was added following the term “Thorough Coverage
Spray” to reflect the wording on many existing labels).

In the second bullet, concerning the spray drift language, some changes
were also made.  For airblast applications, the restriction to “turn
off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying the outer two
rows” was amended to state “ …  the outer row,” due to
stakeholder concerns regarding fully treating the pest pressure within
the second row in, and due to any outwards spraying towards this second
row inwards being unlikely to drift off-site, especially when the next
sentence of the bullet required that these orchard sprays be applied as
follows:  “into the canopy” (that is, “To minimize spray loss over
the top in orchard applications, spray must be directed into the
canopy.”).  In addition, concerning aerial applications, the RED had
no break in the quotation marks between the airblast and aerial
applications, although there is a break within the Labeling Changes
Summary Table; thus, the text of the Revised RED does include a break in
the quotations, and a new set of quotations;  in addition, the RED had
included a restriction on the height of aerial application above crops,
but only “when spraying within 1000 feet of water bodies or aquatic
habitats;” however, the Agency has determined it is more prudent to
restrict aerial applications to “10 feet above the ground, top of
crops, or above the orchard canopy” under all circumstances, as this
restriction represents both better spray drift management and more
prudent stewardship of chemical applications.

Clarifications include:

	

Comments from the Horticultural Spray Oil Task Force indicated that the
RED had not sufficiently presented a narrative on recent improvements in
the refining of the oils to further reduce the contents of both the
sulfur- and nitrogen-groups (measured as the Unsulfonated Residue [UR]),
 and the polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).  The text of the
Revised RED now includes additional descriptions of the newer refining
procedures followed within industry for the processes utilized for
producing these oils, and the reasons behind utilizing these newer
refining procedures.  Thus, there are inclusions of various new textual
materials on pages 9 and 10, as well as on pages 21 to 22, to reflect
these clarifications in the refining processes.  

On page 10 of the RED, there was a discussion that the various Technical
and End-Use products are currently listed within three OPP Chemical
Codes, as well as that there are a large number CAS Numbers listed on
the existing Confidential Statements of Formula (CSFs; i.e., 12
different CAS Nos.), and that some of these CAS Nos. are found for
different products listed within each of the Chemical Codes. 
Consequently, the Revised RED now indicates that SRRD will work with RD
to insure that all products will now be listed within only one OPP
Chemical Code, specifically 063502, “Mineral Oil.”  

In a similar effort to achieve clarity within this group of Technical
and End-Use Products, due to the current inconsistency in nomenclature
(i.e., there are currently 14 different names listed on the various
labels for the name of the Active Ingredient), the Labeling Changes
Summary Table now specifies a clarification to the situation described
at the top of page 10 of the RED.  Thus, the Revised RED has a
discussion concerning revised labels to be submitted as part of the
reregistration process, and the Labeling Changes Summary Table specifies
the following, regarding the name of the Active Ingredient: “The
Active Ingredient statements must be revised and may include only the
following: “Mineral Oil”.  Note: Other names may be specified, but
only providing there is adequate justification.”  

Corrections include:

Page 4, 3rd paragraph, line 13:  “and” changed to “and/or” to
reflect wording earlier in paragraph

Page 2, 5th full paragraph, line 4: comma deleted after “sorption”
to reflect clarification of poor migration

Page 7, 1st paragraph, line 6: “these three are” added, and “which
are each” deleted

Page 7, 2nd paragraph, line 6: “both” added, and “each” deleted

Page 9, 1st paragraph: numerous additions and changes to clarify recent
changes in the refinement procedures for these oils (see above) 

Page 9, 2nd paragraph, line 7: “with each being directly applied”
added, and “thus there is direct application” deleted 

Page 10, 1st paragraph: numerous additions and changes to clarify recent
changes in the refinement procedures for these oils, as well as issues
regarding OPP Chemical Code and nomenclature (see above) 

Page 10, 2nd paragraph, line 12: “to water bodies” added to clarify
the usage of these oils as mosquito larvicide/pupacide products

Page 10, 3rd paragraph, line 4: “their EFED spreadsheet format”
added, and “the EFED spreadsheets” deleted to reflect actions by
BEAD (rather than EFED)

Page 10, 3rd paragraph, line 10: “by BEAD” inserted to reflect the
Division which performed the action

Page 11, end of 2nd paragraph: “These two Action Memoranda were dated
June 2, 2006, and August 2, 2006, respectively.)” added to reflect the
dates of memoranda, not available when RED was issued

Page 12, throughout 5th paragraph: various editorial changes to more
clearly define the data in Table 4

Page 13, table 4: “Boiling range” added to title of row which was
listed as only “Boiling point”, plus various other changes made in
Table to correct data listed, as well as to revise formatting

Page 15, 2nd paragraph, line 7: “inhalation” added to reflect the
nature of the study

Pages 21 – 22: various editorial changes to reflect changes in the
refinement procedures for these oils (see above)   

Page 23, end of 2nd full paragraph: “i.e., the daphnia were not
“dead”).” was added to clarify the previous parenthetical
statement

Page 27, 1st full paragraph: “by about a third” deleted, because
these registrants have voluntarily agreed to reduce their rates to less
than 42% of the earlier maximum label rates in California, and to less
than 32% of the earlier maximum label rates in Texas and Florida

Page 28, 1st full paragraph, line 7: “the EFED Memo stated” added,
and “it is stated” deleted to clarify what document made the ensuing
specifically referenced quotation,

Page 28, 1st full paragraph, line 8: “[4500 gallons spray mix]”
inserted to clarify the preceding 477 lbs a.i./Acre application rate  

Some other very minor editorial changes were also made on various pages,
too trivial to detail here.

Inclusion of Additional Appendices includes: 

	The Agency has now included two additional appendices in the Revised
RED:  Appendix C, the Labeling Changes Summary Table, which provides
guidance for registrants to utilize in preparing revised labels for
submission as part of their 8-month responses to the Data Call-In; and
Appendix D, the Acute Mammalian Toxicity Batching Memo, which provides
guidance for registrants concerning the Acute Toxicity Batches which the
Agency has identified for groupings (batches of Technical or end-use
products) to reduce the burden on registrants for testing and to reduce
the numbers of organisms required for this testing.  The earlier
Appendix C (Detailed Information on Use Rates for Aliphatic Solvents)
has been moved to Appendix E, and now has a slightly revised title,
“BEAD Complied Table (Based on Existing Labels):  Detailed Information
Concerning Use Rates for Aliphatic Solvents”.  [Note that neither the
earlier RED nor this Revised RED contain a listing of the Generic Data
Requirements and Studies Utilized to make the RED for Aliphatic
Solvents, typically found as Appendix B in most non-Low Risk REDs.  None
of the Low-Risk REDs were structured with these two data tables,
although the Agency has made the decision that, unless there is a
clearly marked instance within that Low Risk RED, all the required data
were available in sufficient and adequate detail to arrive at a RED.]

	The Agency will also be issuing, concurrent with this letter, the
Product-Specific Data Call-Ins (PDCIs) for the Aliphatic Solvents. 
Registrants are reminded that a one-year Storage Stability and Corrosion
Characteristics study is required for all Technical Grade Active
Ingredients and end-use products, and registrants are advised to
initiate this testing as soon as possible.

	If you have any questions on this revised Aliphatic Solvents RED, any
of the revisions, or any new amendments, please contact the RED Chemical
Review Manager in SRRD, Bentley C. Gregg, at 703-308-8178.  If you have
any questions on any aspects of the product reregistration process
and/or the PDCI, please contact the Post-RED Chemical Review Manager in
SRRD, Veronica Dutch, at 703-308-8585.

Background:

This document represents the Revised Reregistration Eligibility Decision
(RED) document for aliphatic solvents.  The Aliphatic Solvents Case
(3004) includes two closely related chemicals, the mineral oils and
aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons, which are products of various types of
petroleum distillation processes, and thus, represented by several
different CAS Numbers.  This assessment summarizes available information
on the uses, physical and chemical properties, toxicological effects,
dietary assessment, and the environmental fate and ecotoxicity of these
aliphatic solvents.  These chemicals have insecticide and/or larvicide
uses as spray oils on agricultural crops and by residential homeowners,
as well as occupational and residential uses as acaricides, fungicides,
herbicides, and virucides, in addition to aquatic uses as mosquito
larvicides/pupacides.  There are also inert ingredient uses for many of
these same CAS Number chemicals; the exemption from the requirement for
a tolerance for the inert ingredient uses of Mineral Oil has already
been reassessed during 2005, and the exemptions from the requirement for
tolerances for the inert ingredient uses of most of the other chemicals
in this RED are being reassessed in a separate document.  

I.  Executive Summary:

The Aliphatic Solvents (Case 3004) includes both mineral oil (OPP
Chemical Code 063502) and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons (063503). 
Twelve chemicals (individual CAS Numbers) are covered in this group.

These aliphatic solvents are the product of petroleum distillations
processes, and thus, they are complex mixtures of long-chain aliphatic
(paraffinic)  compounds.  They are formulated as liquid concentrates for
use as insecticides and/or larvicides on crops, animal premises,
commercial/industrial premises, medical premises, aquatic areas, and
residential premises, as well as occupational and residential uses as
acaricides, fungicides, herbicides, and virucides (for plant pathogens).
 The aquatic area applications are for usage as a mosquito
larvicide/pupacide.  Application equipment includes the following:  for
agricultural crops, by airplane, groundboom sprayer, airblast sprayer,
handgun sprayer, low-pressure handwand sprayer, and/or high-pressure
handwand sprayer; for use at commercial/industrial sites, by
low-pressure handwand sprayer, handgun sprayer, airplane, truck-mounted
ULV sprayer, airblast sprayer, rights-of-way sprayer, and/or high
pressure handwand sprayer; and for residential settings, by hose-end
sprayer, low pressure handwand sprayer, and/or trigger-pump sprayer. 
For the aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons, several end-use products allow
for application to agricultural crops via chemigation, and some products
can be applied via dip to ornamental nursery stock, pineapples, and
citrus.  

These chemicals have a low degree of acute toxicity.  For example, there
was no mortality in rats at acute oral doses of 28,000 mg/kg body
weight, and only slight eye irritation in rats and rabbits.  Based on
subchronic and chronic toxicity, these chemicals are virtually non-toxic
by the oral or dermal route, and they have limited toxicity via the
inhalation route, caused by their physical properties (i.e., the
observed effects are not due to chemical toxicity, but due to irritating
effects, such as interstitial inflammation and alveolar histiocytosis,
related to the body’s defense mechanism against the exposure to a
foreign material, when the aliphatic oils enter the lungs).

There is a short-term dermal NOAEL of 2000 mg/kg/day, from a 28-day
dermal toxicity study.  However, this is a very conservative estimate of
dermal exposures, because it is based on a study in which no effects
were seen even at the highest test concentration (2000 mg/kg/day).  The
actual NOAEL could potentially be much higher, with possibly virtually
no adverse effects at any dose at which these oils might be applied to
the skin.  

There is a short-term inhalation LOAEL of 146.64 mg/kg/day, based on a
28-day inhalation study, in which effects were observed, even at the
lowest inhalation dose tested, 0.52 mg/L, including the following: (1)
various effects in the lungs, (2) increased white blood cell counts in
males, (3) increased absolute liver weight, (4) accessory spleens and/or
abnormally colored spleens, and (5) additional microscopic findings. 
There is also an intermediate-term inhalation NOAEL of 26.1 mg/kg/day,
derived from a 90-day inhalation study, based on effects observed at 0.9
mg/L, with no adverse effects observed at 0.1 mg/L.

An HED memo by OREB (USEPA 1995a) determined that “because toxicity is
very low (the FDA has recommended mineral oil for GRAS status), dermal
exposure does not warrant an exposure study at this time for
reregistration.”  In the same memo, it also was stated that “OREB
does not require an inhalation exposure study for reregistration at this
time,” and the “OREB does not require a mixer/loader/applicator
exposure study for reregistration.”  Consequently, this RED does not
present any assessment for the potential occupational or residential
handler dermal or inhalation exposures, nor any assessment for any
occupational or residential postapplication exposures.  Instead the
Agency has qualitatively assessed these exposures, and has determined
that risks are not of concern.

The overall dietary exposure, and the drinking water (only) dietary
exposure, have also each been qualitatively assessed, based on the
absence of acute and chronic oral effects from exposures to mineral oils
and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons.  These dietary exposures are not
of concern to the Agency, nor does the Agency have concerns for the
aggregate exposures to these chemicals.

The environmental fate assessment of these chemicals indicates they have
low to very low vapor pressures, very low solubility in water, high
octanol-water partition coefficients, and high sorption to organic
matter.  Thus, these chemicals will exhibit very poor migration, due to
their high sorption and low solubility in water, as well as low
potential for volatility.  Fugacity modeling suggests they would remain
partitioned to the terrestrial phase, remaining sorbed to soil or the
foliar surfaces to which they are applied.

The ecological toxicity assessment of these chemicals indicates they
have virtually no toxic effects to mammals or birds (however, there is
potential for impairing the hatching of bird eggs, if the spray oils are
applied directly to the eggs in the nests).  These chemicals are also
virtually non-toxic to honey bees, based on the results from contact
toxicity testing.  Testing of phytotoxic effects have not been submitted
to the Agency, but very high levels of materials are applied to many
different types of plants, without effects reported by applicators or
growers, so the Agency does not have concerns for phytotoxicity, other
than warnings which appear on a few of the labels among the many
currently formulated products.  (Evidence is available that most
registrants have been moving to cleaner technical grade formulations,
with lower amounts of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), those
components of the spray oils which had historically been thought to
contribute to phytotoxicity).  The results of toxicity testing with
fish, both estuarine/marine and freshwater species, have shown virtually
no toxic effects, and there were no toxic effects in testing with
estuarine/marine mysid shrimp.  There is a study showing adverse effects
on oyster shell deposition (EC50 = 6 mg/L), but this might be due to the
mineral oils coating the surfaces of the food sources for the oysters,
impairing their ability to digest their food.  Studies with daphnia have
shown effects, even at very low exposure concentrations, but many of the
studies submitted to the Agency had been conducted with products no
longer produced as registered products.  In the most recently submitted
study with daphnia, the effects observed included immobilization in the
water column and/or floating on the surface, but visual observations
with a microscope revealed the daphnia hearts were still beating.  Thus,
while immobilization and floating effects were observed even at the
lowest test concentration (EC50 = < 0.9 mg/L), the study reported that
“the test compound, VHVI-4, was not lethal to Daphnia magna at the
highest test concentration (14 mg/L) after 48 hours exposure.”  

Three of the products are also registered solely as mosquito
larvicides/pupacides, acting as surface film agents.  Information has
been received from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) that these products have important public health benefits,
compared with the various other mosquito larvicides, because these
products are among the only pupacides, and “surface films provide a
valuable option to an integrated mosquito control program.”  In
addition, information was presented by CDC that “surface film
larvicides generally have a shorter environmental persistence (approx.
2-3 days) than most chemical larvicide alternatives.”  The transient
nature of these surface films may have a mitigating effect on the
potential adverse impacts upon daphnia observed above.

The overall ecological risk assessment for these mineral oils and
aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons indicates essentially no concerns for
terrestrial effects (other than the potential for adverse effects on
bird egg-hatching, if spray oils are applied directly to the nests).  In
addition, there were no effects on most aquatic organisms, including
fish (both freshwater and marine) and water-column marine/estuarine
invertebrates (mysid shrimp); however, some impacts were noted in an
oyster shell deposition study, and there is a potential for adverse
effects in daphnids, including immobilization and floating of the
daphnia, in the transient surface films which might result from the
applications of these end-use products, including off-site drift from
airblast applications to orchards (the EFED Memo stated that “9.7% of
the total amount of a product applied” is assumed to drift off-site). 
The Agency is proposing to mitigate these potential adverse impacts on
aquatic invertebrates, effects which might be caused by off-site spray
drift, by placing spray drift language on the revised labels to be
submitted as part of the reregistration process.

II.  Use Information:

The Aliphatic Solvents (Case 3004) include both “Mineral Oil –
includes paraffin oil from 063503” (OPP Chemical Code 063502) and
“Aliphatic Petroleum Hydrocarbons” (OPP Chemical Code 063503).  In
addition, according to the “Status of Pesticides in Registration,
Reregistration, and Special Review” (Spring 1998), commonly called the
Rainbow Report, the Case also includes Kerosene (063501), Mineral
Spirits (063506), and Isoparaffinic Hydrocarbons (505200), although each
of these three are listed in the Rainbow Report as “cancelled.”  

Note, however, that OPPIN Query does list some products in the Kerosene
OPP Chemical Code; however, some of these products contain kerosene only
as an inert ingredient, according to their Confidential Statements of
Formula (CSFs).  Based on their respective CSFs, all of the other
products in OPPIN Query within the Kerosene Chemical Code are end-use
products which are to be formulated with various Technical Grade Active
Ingredients (TGAIs) from both of the other two supported OPP Chemical
Codes, 063502 and 063503, but none of these end-use products actually
contains Kerosene as the active ingredient.  Thus, while these products
are clearly misclassified within OPPIN Query as “Kerosene”, this
information also suggests that the various TGAIs within each of these
supported OPP Chemical Codes have very similar chemical characteristics,
especially considering that these end-use product registrants are able
to utilize these “Mineral Oil” and “Aliphatic Petroleum
Hydrocarbon” TGAIs interchangeably on their respective CSFs.

There are currently about 165 products listed in OPPIN within OPP
Chemical Codes covered in this Case (063501, 063502 [and 063503]). 
Based on a thorough search of the CSFs for these 165 products (a total
of about 225 CSFs, accounting for both Basic and Alternate
formulations), there are twelve different CAS Numbers included in this
Case (Table 1).  Each of these CAS Numbers is listed on one or more of
the CSFs for one or more of the TGAIs within this Case.  Some of these
CAS Numbers have very similar components, because different CAS Numbers
may represent petroleum distillates which are very closely related to
each other, since the assigning of CAS Numbers for petroleum
distillation products (by the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) of the
American Chemical Society) is based on the last step in the refining
process.  Thus, virtually identical distillation products, produced via
alternative refining pathways, will have different CAS Numbers, although
being essentially identical “oils.”  The materials represented by
these CAS Numbers also have other uses, in addition being pesticide
active ingredients and as pesticidal inert ingredients, including as
various other types of oil-based products; for example, all these CAS
Numbers (except for the mineral oils) are in the High Production Volume
(HPV) data set submitted under the name Lubricating Oil Basestocks
Category.

Based on a review of the approximately 225 CSFs, it seems that most of
these CSFs have been recently revised (within the last 10 years), even
for products with a long history of registration.  Discussions at the
SMART Meeting indicated that many registrants have converted their
processes to produce TGAIs and to formulate end-use products which have
lower amounts of undesirable components (i.e., with lower amounts of
sulfur- and nitrogen-containing groups [as measured by higher
Unsulfonated Residues (UR)], and with fewer side-chains containing
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)).  These sulfur- and
nitrogen-groups and the PAHs have been found to produce phytotoxicity,
formerly a cause for concern among growers using these spray oil
products.  (Some of these revised CSFs list aliphatic petroleum
distillates with some side-chains containing naphtha-groups [cyclic
saturated rings, as opposed to the unsaturated, aromatic rings], because
some registrants have reported that small amounts of these
naphtha-containing side-chains are necessary for pourability; without a
few naphtha-containing groups, the petroleum distillates would have poor
pourability, and would be classified as “waxes”.)

These aliphatic solvents are formulated as liquid concentrates, and each
TGAI is listed on the respective CSF as 100% active ingredient, with no
impurities (Table 2).  The TGAIs are then formulated into end-use
products (often only with an emulsifier), usually with the active
ingredient at 97% or greater, for their use as insecticides and/or
larvicides on crops, animal premises, commercial/industrial premises,
medical premises, aquatic areas, and residential premises.  In addition,
there are three products specifically registered as mosquito
larvicides/pupacides, with these being directly applied to water bodies.
 For the various OPP Chemical Codes, the number of total products
(TGAIs, Manufacturing Use Products (MUPs), and end-use products) are as
follows:  Chemical Code 063502 (Mineral Oil), 130 total products;
Chemical Code 063503 (Aliphatic Petroleum Hydrocarbon), 30 total
products; and as indicated above, 5 total products in Chemical Code
063501 (Kerosene).

When revised CSFs are submitted during reregistration, it is likely that
CAS Numbers 72623-86-0 and 72623-87-1 will also be included, because
these newer CAS Nos. are not currently listed on the older CSFs from one
registrant, but those CAS Nos. are listed on the CSFs for the TGAIs from
which these products are formulated.

Based on the information in Table 2, some of the CAS Numbers are listed
on the CSFs for the TGAIs within more than one Chemical Code; thus,
there is overlap.  In fact, one company has four TGAIs, all within
063502, but all five of their end-use products (formulated from only
these four TGAIs) are within the other Chemical Code, 063503.  Plus, as
described in the section above, the end-use products within 063501
(Kerosene) do not actually contain Kerosene as an active ingredient, but
each product is formulated with TGAIs from both of the other two OPP
Chemical Codes.  Consequently, as part of this RED, the Agency is
planning to place all these products within the “Aliphatic Solvents”
Case into a single OPP Chemical Code.  Since the publication of this RED
in July 2006, OPP has determined that these TGAIs and end-use products
should all be placed within the Mineral Oils Chemical Code, 063502, for
clarity of nomenclature, since many of these “aliphatic solvents”
products have uses which conform to the classic Mineral Oil uses, many
of which have trade names implying that they are employed as dormant
oils or spray oil.

These products containing aliphatic solvents are formulated as liquid
concentrates. The application equipment includes airplane, groundboom
sprayer, airblast sprayer, handgun sprayer, low-pressure handwand
sprayer, and/or high-pressure handwand sprayer for applications to
agricultural crops; for commercial/industrial sites, application
equipment includes low-pressure handwand sprayer, handgun sprayer,
airplane, truck-mounted ULV sprayer, airblast sprayer, rights-of-way
sprayer, and/or high pressure handwand sprayer.  In residential
settings, typical application equipment includes hose-end sprayer, low
pressure handwand sprayer, and/or trigger-pump sprayer.  For petroleum
hydrocarbons, several products have product labels which allow for
application to agricultural crops via chemigation.  In addition, some
products can be applied via dip to ornamental nursery stock, pineapples,
and citrus.  The three currently registered mosquito larvicide/pupacide
products are applied to water bodies by ground equipment, with one
product also having a label listing aerial applications.

Appendix C contains more detailed information on the crops/use sites,
application equipment, timing of application, maximum application rate,
and re-entry interval (if applicable).  These data were derived by the
Biological and Economic Assessment Division (BEAD) in their EFED
spreadsheet format (for the Environmental Fate and Effects Division). 
In some cases, the entries in the EFED table did not provide pounds
active ingredient per gallon for the mineral oils or the aliphatic
petroleum hydrocarbons.  A review of the physical/chemical
characteristics obtained through a literature search provided a range of
densities for both chemicals.  As a default, the highest density found
for each chemical (7.7 lb ai/gal for mineral oil, and 8.0 lb ai/gal for
aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons, respectively) was used by BEAD as an
estimate for adjusting the application rates for the respective active
ingredient, when necessary.

The information presented in Appendix C indicates many different types
of application methods and use sites for these Mineral Oil and Aliphatic
Petroleum Hydrocarbon products.  According to the BEAD Screening Level
Usage Assessment (SLUA), there may be as much as 75 million pounds of
these products used in the United States annually.  (See Appendix A  for
additional details concerning the BEAD SLUA.)

Mineral oil (8012-95-1) has recently been designated by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (USFDA) as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS);
the specific usage which is GRAS is as a release agent sprayed on potato
processing equipment, resulting in a presence on food of no more than 5
ppm (GRAS Notice No. GRN 00071; April 21, 2001).  In addition, there are
many other uses for Mineral Oil listed at the USFDA website, Everything
Added to Food in the United States (EAFUS), under their FDA regulations
pertaining to food additives, especially 21CFR 172.878, which
specifically describes the uses of “White Mineral Oil”, but there
are many other listings identified in EAFUS, including as food additives
for direct addition (172.842), as well as for secondary additives
(173.340), various indirect additives (175.105, 175.210, 175.230,
175.300, 176.170, 177.1200, 177.2260, 177.2600, 177.2800, 178.2010,
178.3570, 178.3620, 178.3740, 178.3910), and food additives permitted in
feed and drinking water of animals (573.680).  The citations in EAFUS
specifically refer to “Mineral oil, white” CAS No. 8012-95-1, and
not any of the other mineral oil CAS Numbers; in addition, a search by
CAS Number within EAFUS indicates there are no listings for any of the
other chemicals in this RED, the aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons.  

The tolerance exemptions being reassessed in this RED, with the
respective citation in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and use
pattern as an active ingredient, are listed in Table 3.  Table 3 also
includes the inert ingredient uses of these chemicals.  The exemptions
from the requirement of a tolerance for the inert ingredient uses of
Mineral Oils (180.910 and 180.930) have already previously been
reassessed, in a document dated December 30, 2005, while the other
petroleum hydrocarbon exemptions as inert ingredients are currently
undergoing reassessment, within the Registration Division, with a
completion date on or before August 3, 2006.  (These two Action
Memoranda were dated June 1, 2006, and August 2, 2006, respectively.)

The active ingredient use listed in Table 3 for 180.149 predates the
establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency.  Spray Oils
(petroleum oils) have been utilized for insect control on crops and
trees for over 130 years, while the post-harvest uses on corn and
sorghum to combat storage insect infestation were in a Tolerance
Petition in the 1950s.  BEAD and SRRD conducted a review of the EFED
spreadsheets (data complied based on the existing labels), and this
search did not detect any Mineral Oils products with a current label for
this grain storage use, as listed at 40 CFR 180.149; thus, as part of
the RED process, SRRD will publish a notification in the Federal
Register proposing to cancel this use, and to revoke this tolerance at
40 CFR 180.149.

Some of the maximum application rates on some of the labels are very
high.  For example, for one suite of pests on citrus, in Florida, Texas,
and California, various labels indicate that applications may be made at
up to 4500 gallons of spray mix (prepared as a thorough coverage spray
[TCS] mix of up to 1.5 gallons of end-use product in 100 gallons of
water).  These registrants have voluntarily agreed to reduce this
maximum amount applied, to only 1500 gallons in Florida and Texas, and
to 2000 gallons in California.  This higher rate in California was
proposed by researchers at the University of California, Kearney Ag
Center, due to a unique citrus pest found in California; this feedback
was the result of the Agency request that USDA seek guidance from
researchers, growers, and other stakeholders.

There currently are few labels with application restrictions on the
number of applications per year, or the timing between applications,
although there are some residential products for homeowner use that do
include such reapplication restrictions. 

III.  Physical/Chemical Properties:

Table 4 provides physical/chemical properties that are available for
certain aliphatic solvents.  Information was not found for all CAS
Numbers included in this RED.

Based on the data in Table 4, as well as various estimates derived from
EPIWIN and other models for developing physical and chemical properties
information (and characterizations for the CAS Numbers in the HPV
submission), it is not feasible to report specific data for each
property, due to the diversity of different compounds present as
components within each of these mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum
hydrocarbons.  However, certain patterns are evident in describing these
oils.  The melting points (pour point, or temperature at which flow
characteristics appear) are below 0 °C.  The actual boiling points or
boiling ranges listed reflect that the CAS Numbers represent mixtures of
compounds, dependent on the types and order of distillation and refining
processes employed, with constituent hydrocarbons of these oils having
boiling points ranging from 300 to 800°C.  Similarly, their vapor
pressures exhibit a very wide range, from 10-4  Pa to 10-16 Pa (about 
10-3  to 10-14 mm Hg), ranging from the smaller to larger constituents. 
Their octanol-water partition coefficients are high, with log Kow values
ranging from about 5 to about 20, from the smaller chain-length to the
larger chain length molecules.  The constituents of the oils are also
very poorly water soluble, with water solubility ranging from 0.001 to
0.6 mg/L, being less soluble with longer chain-length constituents.

IV.  Hazard Assessment:

The toxicity data available for various chemicals in the aliphatic
solvents group are provided in Appendix B.  These data were obtained
from the MRIDs submitted by registrants and EPA’s Health Effects
Division (HED) Toxicity Data Evaluation Reviews (DERs) of these MRIDs,
as well as from the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances
(RTECS) of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health,
and from High Production Volume (HPV) Robust Summaries, various Material
Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), and the open literature.

Acute toxicity data for representative chemical constituents are
provided in Table 5.  In general, these mineral oils and aliphatic
petroleum hydrocarbons exhibit a very low degree of acute toxicity in
mammalian testing.

Based on the subchronic toxicity data in Appendix B, representative data
are presented in Table 6.  For certain specific aliphatic solvents, it
has been reported that the effects of short-term exposure include mild
irritation to the skin, and if swallowed, aspiration into the lungs may
result in chemical pneumonitis.  The effects of long-term exposure
include possible dermatitis with repeated or prolonged contact with skin
(INCHEM, 2001a, b; MSDS, 1994, 2002).

(26.1 mg/kg/day)a



A short-term exposure duration dermal NOAEL of 2000 mg/kg/day was
observed in a 28-day repeat-dose study, in which no adverse effects were
observed at the highest test concentration (2000 mg/kg/day) (EPA, 1996;
MRID 413688-22).  The actual NOAEL could potentially be very much
higher, because it is quite possible that there would be no adverse
effects from dermal exposures, even at the highest possible dosage which
could be applied to the skin.  

A short-term exposure duration inhalation LOAEL of 146.64 mg/kg/day was
observed in a 28-day inhalation study.  Adverse effects were reported at
the lowest exposure dosage, 0.5 mg/L, based on the following
observations:  (1) multiple lung effects, (2) increased white blood cell
counts in males, (3) increased absolute liver weight, (4) accessory
spleens and/or abnormally colored spleens, and (5) additional
microscopic findings (EPA, 1996; MRID 413688-24).  An intermediate-term
exposure duration inhalation NOAEL of 26.1 mg/kg/day was observed in a
90-day inhalation study, in which effects were observed at 0.9 mg/L, but
there were no adverse effects observed at 0.1 mg/L (EPA, 1996; MRID
450029-01).  

Metabolism / Absorption:

Oral doses of mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons are
poorly absorbed across the gastrointestinal tract lining, and most are
rapidly eliminated unchanged in the feces (75 to 98%, within 8 hours to
4 days).  In addition, these materials also show very poor permeability
across the dermal barrier (very little is absorbed through the skin). 
Similarly, any of these materials which enter the lungs are also
generally not absorbed, but there may be phagocytosis by the surrounding
lung cells, with some materials then being transported to the spleen and
liver, with eventual elimination occurring, mostly unmetabolized, within
the feces.

The April 1997 data call-ins for the Mineral Oils (GCDI-063502-17721)
and for Aliphatic Petroleum Hydrocarbons (GCDI-063503-17722) did not
require data for various types of repeat dose toxicity studies,
including either reproductive/developmental or carcinogenicity toxicity
testing, via either oral or dermal exposure dosing.  Thus, these data
have not been submitted by registrants, and the information presented
was derived from various review documents.  Data were required for
Mutagenicity/Genotoxicity (Gene mutation – Ames [84-2a; 870.5100]) and
for Structural Chromosomal Aberration [84-2b; 870.5375]); a number of
studies have been submitted, and DERs written for most. 

Reproduction/Developmental Effects:

In the HPV Submission for Lubricating Oils Basestocks (for most of the
CAS Numbers as in this RED), various repeat dose studies were reviewed
for reproductive and developmental toxicity effects.  It was concluded
from dermal dosing studies, that mineral oil had no effects (on
mortality, clinical signs of toxicity, body weight, food consumption,
absolute organ weights, microscopic changes in reproductive organs of
parental animals, number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, live pups
per litter, no gross anomalies, and body weights of pups or weight gains
of pups).  In a 4-week inhalation study, there were no treatment related
effects on sperm morphology.  In a one-generation reproduction study,
both males and females were dosed by gavage, and there were no adverse
effects (no clinical findings, growth weights and food consumption was
normal, no effects on fertility and mating indices in either males or
females, and at necropsy, organ weights and histopathology were
considered normal by the study authors).  Two other studies were
reported with white mineral oil, both via single daily gavage doses.  In
one study, both sexes were dosed, and some effects were observed, which
the study authors concluded were within the “spectrum of malformations
[which] occurs spontaneously in Sprague-Dawley rat.”  In the companion
study in which only pregnant females were dosed, fetal effects were
noted, but “the study authors considered these malformations to be
minor and within the normal ranges for the strain of rat”
(Sprague-Dawley).  In general, these studies were performed at very high
dosages, from about 900 mg/kg-bw/day (1 mL/kg-bw/day) to about 4500
mg/kg-bw/day (5 mL/kg-bw/day).

Carcinogenicity:

The following information has been reported for the aliphatic solvents
with regards to carcinogenicity (IARC, 1987):

  Untreated and mildly-treated oils are carcinogenic to humans (Group
1), and

  Highly-refined oils are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity
to humans (Group 3).

The chemicals included in this RED are categorized as highly to severely
refined oils and, therefore, are classified as Group 3, meaning the
evidence of carcinogenicity is inadequate in humans and inadequate or
limited in experimental animals.

Mutagenicity/Genotoxicity:

In DERs written by HED (EPA, 1994d), the mutagenicity of various test
materials were all characterized as being non-mutagenic, in general, but
with problems due to the presence of suspended oil droplets, due to the
poor water solubility of the test materials.  Results reported show the
following:  no treatment related increases in the number of revertants
to histidine in either the plate incorporation or liquid suspensions
assays (Ames tests); in a mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay, there
were no adverse effects (but problems were encountered in removing the
test material from the cells, due to the insolubility with the aqueous
media); the test material did not appear to be clastogenic in an in vivo
mammalian cytogenetics assay with bone marrow, but the DER stated that
data needs to be submitted to confirm that the test material is absorbed
from the gastro-intestinal tract and transported to target tissue [bone
marrow] in effective concentrations.  

In the HPV Submission for Lubricating Oils Basestocks (HPV, 2004), it
was concluded that in the in vitro (mutagenicity) tests, the results had
low mutagenicity indices, and that the in vivo results would probably be
negative, both due to the low bioavailability of these test materials,
and due to the negative results observed in in vitro mutagenicity
testing and dermal carcinogenicity studies. 

Special Considerations for Infants and Children:

The data found on reproductive and developmental toxicity for the
aliphatic solvents (the mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum
hydrocarbons) indicate that for most CAS Numbers, there are few effects
that suggest any reproductive impairment or adverse fetal impacts that
would occur at doses not also having maternal impacts.  In general, most
of the studies reported in the HPV submission were conducted at very
high dosing levels, whether by the dermal, inhalation, or oral route of
exposure.  Overall, therefore, there are no concerns at the present time
for potential sensitivity of infants and children to these mineral oils
and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons, because any reproductive and
developmental toxicity effects only occurred at doses much greater than
those expected from use of these chemicals as active ingredients.  

Endocrine Disruption: 

EPA is required under the FFDCA, as amended by FQPA, to develop a
screening program to determine whether certain substances (including all
pesticide active and other ingredients) “may have an effect in humans
that is similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen,
or other such endocrine effects as the Administrator may designate.” 
Following recommendations of its Endocrine Disruptor and Testing
Advisory Committee (EDSTAC), EPA determined that there was a scientific
basis for including, as part of the program, the androgen and thyroid
hormone systems, in addition to the estrogen hormone system.  EPA also
adopted EDSTAC’s recommendation that the Program include evaluations
of potential effects in wildlife.  For pesticide chemicals, EPA will use
FIFRA and, to the extent that effects in wildlife may help determine
whether a substance may have an effect in humans, FFDCA authority to
require the wildlife evaluations.  As the science develops and resources
allow, screening of additional hormone systems may be added to the
Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP).  When additional
appropriate screening and/or testing protocols being considered under
the Agency’s EDSP have been developed, the aliphatic solvents may be
subjected to further screening and/or testing to better characterize
effects related to endocrine disruption.  However, at the present time,
the Agency has no evidence that the aliphatic solvents are associated
with endocrine disruption.

V. Exposure Assessment:

There is a potential for dermal and inhalation exposure to aliphatic
solvents (both mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons) in
occupational scenarios from handling aliphatic solvent-containing
products during the mixing, loading, and application process (i.e.,
mixers/loaders/applicators).  Short-term exposures are likely (from 1 to
30 days); however, it is less certain that pesticide handlers would have
intermediate-term exposures (i.e., continuous exposures of greater than
30 days, that is, from 1 month to 6 months).  However, as part of the
earlier Phase 4 Reregistration Process, the Occupational and Residential
Exposure Branch (OREB) of HED (USEPA 1995b) determined that, for the
Mineral Oils and Aliphatic Petroleum Hydrocarbons, the “toxicity is
very low (the FDA has recommended mineral oil for GRAS status), dermal
exposure does not warrant an exposure study at this time for
reregistration.”  In addition “OREB does not require an inhalation
exposure study for reregistration at this time,” and “OREB does not
require a mixer/loader/applicator exposure study for reregistration.” 
Thus, various Guidelines were waived by OREB, and not required as part
of a GDCI, including Guidelines 133-4, Inhalation Exposure [new #
875.2500], as well as the following applicator exposure monitoring: 
Guideline 231, Estimation of Dermal Exposure at Outdoor Sites [new #
875.1100], Guideline 232, Estimation of Inhalation Exposure at Outdoor
Sites [new # 875.1300], Guideline 233, Estimation of Dermal Exposure at
Indoor Sites [new # 875.1200], and Guideline 234, Estimation of
Inhalation Exposure at Indoor Sites [new # 875.1400].

Thus, the Agency has determined that only a qualitative exposure
assessment is required for these scenarios, and that the application
rates, anticipated use patterns, and current labels for the aliphatic
solvents products are not of concern to the Agency.  This qualitative
exposure/risk assessment also suggests there are no concerns for
handlers, reentry workers, or residential homeowners.

A review of some of the current labels indicates that about half of
these labels list requirements for gloves as Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE).  This qualitative assessment of human exposure risk has
indicated there are no risk concerns; any PPE requirements needed for
end-use products will be determined based on the acute toxicity testing
review data developed during reregistration for these end-use products.

Cancer risks were not calculated, since no toxicological endpoint for
cancer was selected, because these materials described in this RED are
not carcinogens.

VI.  Dietary (Food) Exposure:

There has been a tolerance of 200 ppm established for mineral oil, for
post harvest uses on corn and sorghum (40 CFR 180.149).  However, an HED
Memo (EPA, 1995a) indicated that residue data would not be required for
Mineral Oil, and specifically that the following data requirements were
“not applicable”:  171-4(a), Nature of residue – plants; 171-4(b),
Nature of residue – animals: 171-4(c), Residue analytical method –
plant; 

171-4(d), Residue analytical method – animals; 171-4(e), Storage
stability; 171-4(f), Magnitude of residue – potable water; 171-4(g),
Magnitude of residue – fish; 171-4(h), Magnitude of residue –
irrigated crop; 171-4(i), Magnitude of residue – food handling;
171-4(j), Magnitude of residue – meat/milk/poultry/eggs; and
171-4(k/l), Crop field trials/process.  

The Agency has no concerns for food uses of these mineral oils and
aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons, as a result of their use as an active
ingredient.  As described in previous sections, the acute and chronic
oral toxicity of these materials is extremely low, and thus, no
quantitative assessment of dietary (food only) risk is deemed necessary.

 

VII.  Drinking Water Exposure:

The HED Memo (EPA, 1995a), which indicated that various types of residue
data would not be required for Mineral Oil, specifically indicated that
the data requirement for Magnitude of residue – Potable water (Old
Guideline Number: 171-4(f), New Guideline Number 860.1400) was “not
applicable”:  Thus, residue data have not been collected for drinking
water concentrations of these active ingredients.  One specific use of
mineral oil has been granted GRAS status, and many other uses have been
permitted under various other food use regulations by US FDA.  Based on
the available data concerning the absence of acute and chronic oral
toxicity for both mineral oil and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons,
these active ingredients are not of concern to the Agency.  

VIII.  Aggregate Exposure Assessment:

For aggregate exposure, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)
section 408 directs the Agency to consider available information
concerning exposures from the pesticide residue in food and all other
non-occupational exposures, including drinking water from ground water
or surface water and exposure through pesticide use in gardens, lawns,
or buildings (residential and other indoor uses).  The Food Quality
Protection Act amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
[FFDCA, Section 408(b)(2)(A)(ii)] require “that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to pesticide
chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary exposures and other
exposures for which there are reliable information.”  In assessing the
aggregate exposure for the aliphatic solvents, the Agency has determined
in the preceding sections that risks from food, drinking water,
residential uses of a pesticide, and other non-occupational sources of
exposure are minimal, having virtually insignificant impact on human
health.  

IX.  Cumulative Exposure:

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.”  

EPA does not have, at this time, available data to determine whether the
Aliphatic Solvents have a common mechanism of toxicity with other
substances.  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 the Aliphatic
Solvents and any other substances, and the Aliphatic Solvents do not
appear to produce toxic metabolites produced by other substances.   

For the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has not
assumed that Aliphatic Solvents have a common mechanism of toxicity with
other substances.  For information regarding the Agency’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 substances found to have a common mechanism on EPA’s website at
http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative/.

X.  Environmental Fate/Ecotoxicity/Ecological Risk Assessment:  

X.I.  Environmental Fate and Transport:

There is a wide range of components present in each of these various
mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons products, but the EFED
Memorandum concluded that “based on the broad descriptions of the CAS
Numbers, it appears that the composition of the oils are similar across
the two PC Codes.  Therefore, the toxicological and fate properties may
be similar.”  

The data for most of the physical and chemical properties (Table 4) are
from MSDSs, or are based on various estimates derived from EPIWIN and
other models for developing physical and chemical properties
information.  Thus, any description concerning the environmental fate
and transport of these mixtures of components will require some degree
of generalization in characterizing the environmental fate.  For
example, the vapor pressures exhibit a very wide range, from somewhat
volatile to very poorly volatile (i.e., 10-4  Pa to 10-16 Pa [about 10-3
 to 10-14 mm Hg]).  The octanol-water partition coefficients are, in
general, high, with log Kow values ranging from about 5 to about 20, for
the smaller chain-length to the larger chain length molecules.  Thus,
these components are also likely to have high Koc values, indicating a
high degree of sorption to the organic matter in soils, as well as to
foliar surfaces onto which they are sprayed.  In addition, their
constituent components are also very poorly water soluble, with
solubility values ranging from 0.001 to 0.6 mg/L, being least soluble
for the larger constituents.  Thus, these sorption characteristics and
water solubility data suggest very poor migration in dissolved phase of
water.  Fugacity modeling to determine the distribution of these
components in the environment suggest that most would partition to the
terrestrial phase, and remain sorbed to soil or the foliar surfaces onto
which they are sprayed.  

These aliphatic oils do not contain functional groups which would
undergo photo-degradation in the ultraviolet or visible light ranges,
although if any have aromatic components, they can undergo direct
photolysis (however, most registrants now produce TGAIs with
substantially reduced amounts of aromatic components, compared with the
spray oils formerly formulated).  While many of the components are
poorly volatile, if some do volatilize, they might contain substituent
groups that may undergo atmospheric gas-phase oxidation reactions. 
While these components are poorly soluble in water, they do not contain
functional groups that are susceptible to hydrolysis in aqueous
suspension.  Due to the complexity in size of the components of these
oils, they may slowly undergo some primary biodegradation, but do not
readily undergo rapid mineralization (i.e., complete breakdown to carbon
dioxide and water).

X.II.  Ecological Effects Toxicity Data:

Based on data submitted to the Agency and literature from other sources
to augment these data, the EFED Memorandum Describing the Ecological
Risk Assessment on Aliphatic Oils (PC Codes 063502 and 063503) compiled
a summary table on the ecological effects to the key biological
components of the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem (Table 7).

In general, these aliphatic oils (mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum
hydrocarbons) are not toxic to most aquatic and terrestrial organisms. 
There was essentially no lethality observed in any of the tests
conducted with fish species (in either freshwater or estuarine/ marine
species), mammals (rats or mice), or birds (in either acute, oral,
single-dose or subchronic dietary feeding tests).  Data were cited in
the EFED Memorandum that in one fish toxicity test, up to a 50% mixture
(500,000 mg/L) did not result in any observed mortality.  Data were also
presented indicating no treatment-related effects in various honey bee
contact studies.  The EFED memo did report that some types of oils have
been tested on bird eggs, and have caused smothering (lack of oxygen
transport, and impaired hatching ability); however, the data provided in
that EFED memo do not appear to indicate that the likelihood of off-site
drift of spray applications would have demonstrated impacts on bird egg
hatching.  

The EFED memo indicated that no testing information had been submitted
on the effects of these oils on plants.  However, some information in
the EFED EIIS (Ecological Incidents Information System) database does
indicate incidents of plant damage.  The HPV submission reviewed data on
toxicity testing with various freshwater algae, and reported there were
“no adverse effects” at the levels tested.  There is not much
information on actual testing with terrestrial plants; however, for some
crops, high amounts of spray oils have been safely applied onto the
foliar surfaces for insecticidal purposes.  Historically, there had been
some reports of phytotoxic effects (“burned” leaves, and some
current labels list phytotoxicity warnings); however, many of the newer
TGAIs being formulated by most Technical registrants do not appear to
have these same adverse effects, possibly because of the reduced amounts
of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and the increased amounts of
Unsulfonated Residues (lower amounts of nitrogen and sulfur in
side-chains) reported to be present in the newer TGAIs, contaminants
thought to have been the causes of the phytotoxic effects in older
TGAIs.

There was an oyster shell deposition study, in which there was
statistically significant reduction of shell deposition, with a 96-hr
EC50 of 5.57 mg/L, as reported in the study.  This study was conducted
in 1998-99 for Golden Bear Oil Specialties, Inc. with a test material
which is no longer formulated, and thus not applied to the environment. 
(The registrant for this test material, GB-1111, is now Clark Mosquito
Products.)  It is possible that one reason for the reduced oyster shell
deposition could be due to the oils coating onto the outer surface of
the algal materials made available of food to these filter-feeding
oysters, thus, rendering the oysters less able to break-down and utilize
these food materials for nutrition.

There are also two toxicity studies available with mysid shrimp
(Mysidopsis bahia, an estuarine/marine species of invertebrates).  One
study (MRID 446254-01), conducted in 1998-99 for Golden Bear Oil
Specialties, Inc. (with the same no-longer formulated test material as
described above), yielded a 96-hr LC50 value of 1.2 mg/L.  Another study
(MRID 450513-02) was conducted in 1997, for Petro-Canada (with a test
material still being utilized as a TGAI, and described as severely
hydrotreated [i.e., more highly refined that the Golden Bear product]);
for this test material, a 96-hr LC50 value could not be calculated,
because the data reported did not indicate 50% mortality, even at the
highest test concentration, (nominal) 500,000 mg/L.  The study reported
that “most observed mortality appeared to occur when organisms swam
toward the top of the test container and became trapped in the overlying
layer.”  The nominal concentrations, and reported mortality data, were
as follows:  control, 10%; 31,250 mg/L, 20%; 62,500 mg/L, 20%; 125,000
mg/L, 15%; 250,000 mg/L, 25%; and 500,000 mg/l, 30% mortality.

The organism utilized for the ecological risk assessment was the water
flea, Daphnia magna.  Based on the data reported in the EFED Memorandum
(Table 7), a number of different studies have been submitted, describing
the results of daphnia toxicity testing.  However, detailed analyses of
some of the studies submitted reveal that a few of the test materials
utilized in aquatic toxicity testing are no longer used in formulating
TGAIs or end-use products for spray oils.  For example, the lowest LC50
value reported in Table 7 for Daphnia, 0.02 mg/L, was from a 1990-91
study, conducted for Unocal Corporation / PureGro Company, with 90
Neutral Oil; however, according to the Agency REFS database, this
product was apparently cancelled in 1993.  The next higher LC50 value
reported in Table 7, 0.1 mg/L, was a test conducted for Golden Bear Oil
Specialties, Inc. (with a test material no longer formulated, and thus
not applied to the environment).  (Note also that the registrant for
this test material, GB-1111, is now Clark Mosquito Products, and a
review of the CSF for their product indicates their product is
formulated with an unregistered technical; thus, RD and SRRD have
suggested that when Clark submits a revised CSF as part of the
reregistration process, that the CSF utilize a registered TGAI.)  The
next higher LC50 value for Daphnia, 0.41 mg/L, is from a toxicity test
conducted in 1983, with a product called 100 Paraffine Oil.  This study
was submitted in support of four products, two of which have since been
cancelled (Chevron Ag Base Lite Neutral and Chevron Ag 100), and for the
two other products, revised CSFs have been submitted in the 1990s
(Valent Orchard Spray, with a revised CSF submitted in 1992, and Volck
Supreme Spray, with a newer, revised CSF in 1996); therefore, it is
clear that daphnia toxicity testing data developed with “100 Paraffine
Oil” is no longer still appropriate for characterizing currently
formulated TGAIs and end-use products.  

The daphnia toxicity study (MRID 446373-37) with the next higher
toxicity results was conducted for Petro-Canada, in 1997, with a product
designated in the report as VHVI-4, referred to as “N100DW basestock
which is one of the raw materials used to make the final Spray Oil 10,
13, 15, 22 products.”  These products are still being formulated by
Petro-Canada, with their most recent CSFs dating from 1995 and 1997, so
clearly this test material is representative of Petro-Canada’s
currently formulated TGAIs and end-use products, as well as the TGAIs
and end-use-products for some other registrants who also purchase their
TGAIs from Petro-Canada.  The static testing (i.e., not with continuous
flow conditions) was conducted for 48 hours, and samples were collected
for “later verification of the test concentrations if required”, but
test concentrations were not clearly reported, so the reported levels
will be considered to be only nominal (i.e., unmeasured, or estimated). 
The highest concentration tested, 14 mg/L, was reported to be “the
maximum solubility of VHVI-4 in water;” however, the text reported
that the “test solutions had a thin film of oil on the surface prior
to addition of test organisms.”  In describing the test results, the
report stated “there was no mortality in any of the test treatments.
This was confirmed by examination under a microscope for the presence of
a heartbeat. Several neonates in all test concentrations were floating
on the surface of the test solutions in all VHVI-4 concentrations, at 24
hours and 48 hours.”  The actual data results reported in Appendix C
of MRID 446373-37 also list a number of daphnia being counted as I for
“immobilized,” or F for “floating”, with 20 of 20 test organisms
floating in both 14 mg/L and 7 mg/L, 19 floating and 1 immobilized at
3.5 mg/L, 10 floating and 10 immobilized at 1.8 mg/L, 17 floating and 3
immobilized at 0.9 mg/L (the lowest nominal test concentration), and all
20 normal in the control.  Based on these data, it is clear that there
are some effects on the daphnia, although apparently not lethality, even
at the lowest test concentration, so the EC50 is < 0.9 mg/L.  It is also
possible that these effects may be transient, and might be reversible,
with the daphnia becoming free of their “immobilized” conditions
when the surface films break up.  Thus, in light of the absence of any
significant mortality, even at the highest concentration tested, it
might also be inferred that the LC50 could be reported as “> 14
mg/L.”  (The EFED Memorandum had indicated that the LC50 was “<0.9
mg/L (100% mortality occurred at all concentrations)”, but that is not
in agreement with the actual text reported in the body of MRID, or with
the data, as report in the body and appendix of the MRID; i.e., the
daphnia were not “dead”).

The EFED Memorandum did conclude that there was uncertainty whether the
effects observed in the daphnid toxicity studies were caused by the
physical effects resulting from the oils coating the organism or from a
different mode of action (such as the organisms becoming entrapped in
the oils floating on the surface), although some studies did report that
daphnids were also immobile in the bottom or in the middle of the test
containers.  The EFED memo concluded that entrapment in surface oil
slicks would be less likely to occur in streams and rivers (moving water
bodies), and oil slicks would be a higher concern in quiescent waters,
such as wetlands and stagnant lakes.

It is not surprising that there would be some disparity among the
various MRIDs reporting the results of toxicity tests with daphnia. 
These mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons have very low
water solubility, based on the information available, including water
solubility data for 10 of these same CAS Numbers, as reported in the
Lubricating Oils Basestocks Category for the HVP submissions.  In fact,
the HPV submission dataset provides data indicating that oils with these
CAS Numbers are essentially non-toxic to daphnid invertebrates, with the
following reported data in the Test Plan and Robust Summaries: no
mortality, based on Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs), for 48-hr at
1000 mg/L exposures to Daphnia magna, and 96-hr at 10,000 mg/L exposures
to Gammarus pulex; and for various CAS Numbers, there were no effects on
mortality or reproduction after 21 days exposure at 1000 mg/L for
Daphnia magna in static renewal tests (with the following CAS Nos.:
64741-88-4; 64741-89-5, 64742-55-8, and 64742-65-0).  The differences in
the toxicity to invertebrates observed between the registrant-submitted
MRIDs and the HVP data may be due to the methods of attempting to get
these poorly soluble oils into the water column into a
solution/suspension.  

X.III.  Estimated Environmental Concentrations:

Terrestrial Concentration Estimates

The EFED Memorandum described the procedure utilized to develop   SEQ
CHAPTER \h \r 1 estimated environmental concentrations (EECs) on
terrestrial systems by using the Tier I exposure model, T-REX (Version
1.2.3.).  This procedure was utilized to estimate the potential dietary
exposures for terrestrial organisms, as a result of applications of
mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons (aliphatic spray oils)
at various applications rates, 10, 50, 150, and 477 lbs/acre (single
application) (Table 8).  

Table 8.  EECs for Selected Terrestrial Animal Food Items After
Applications of Oils .

Food Item	EEC (ppm), as predicted, resulting from application rates of
10 to 477 lbs a.i./Acre

	10 lbs a.i./Acre	50 lbs a.i./Acre	150 lbs a.i./Acre	477 lbs a.i./Acre

Short grass	2400	12,000	36,000	114,000

Tall grass	1100	5500	17,000	52,000

Broadleaf forage, small insects 	1350	6800	20,000	64,000

Fruits, seeds, pods, large insects	150	750	2300	7200



This estimation procedure analysis indicates that the aliphatic spray
oils may be found on animal feed items at extremely high concentrations
(up to 114,000 ppm).  These concentrations were then converted to doses
(mg/kg-bw) for 15-, 35-, and 1000-gram mammals, and 20-, 100-, and
1000-gram birds.  (See Appendix B of the EFED Memorandum for details
concerning these calculations, including the body weight adjusted EECs
for 10, 150, and 477 lbs/acre applications for both the birds and
mammals.)  

Aquatic Concentration Estimates

The EFED Memorandum also described the procedure utilized to develop  
SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 EECs in aquatic systems.  EFED performed separate
modeling efforts for spray drift alone, and for off-site runoff.  For
the off-site spray drift alone, the modeling to develop EECs was
performed for airblast applications, known to have the highest off-site
drift for the various ground application procedures (Table 9).  EFED
assumed that “9.7% of the mass applied to a 10 hectare field would
drift off-site into an adjacent 20,000,000 L water body (standard drift
assumption in GENEEC2 for orchard airblast applications, and EFED’s
standard ecological water body volume).”  The EECs in Table 9 assume
no runoff, but do assume an off-site drift of 9.7% of the total amount
of a product applied, and also assume no degradation, partitioning, or
differential distribution of the various components within the spray oil
end-use product.  It is known that some components of these spray oils
(the lower molecular weight fractions) may be more volatile than others,
but this model also does not take into consideration any volatilization
of components during off-site drift. 

Table 9.  Preliminary Aquatic EECs from Spray Drift Into a Standard
Ecological Pond

Application Rate	EEC: Resulting Only from Off-Site Spray Drift (9.7% of
Amount Applied)

477 lbs a.i./Acre	2.6 mg/L

150 lbs a.i./Acre	0.82 mg/L

50 lbs a.i./Acre	0.27 mg/L

10 lbs a.i./Acre	0.05 mg/L

The EFED Memorandum reported that the simple screening level analysis,
GENEEC, was the procedure used to qualitatively evaluate the
contribution of off-site runoff to the overall aquatic EECs.  GENEEC was
run assuming that these aliphatic spray oils were being applied by
granular application (not a labeled use), explaining that this procedure
was a convenience to minimize spray drift in the model run to zero.  In
the absence of environmental fate data for these complex mixtures, EFED
assumed that the relevant processes (aerobic soil and aquatic
metabolism, hydrolysis, and photolysis) were all stable.  GENEEC was run
across a very wide potential range of Koc values that might be expected
for the various constituents within the aliphatic spray oils (Table 10).

1.  GENEEC Model with No Spray Drift, and with a “Complete
Stability” Assumption for All Dissipation Processes

The GENEEC modeling analysis (Table 10) suggests that even with the wide
range of Koc values used, the predicted EECs vary by only a factor of 20
(from 26.79 ppm to 1.41 ppm, at the current maximum application rate,
477 lbs a.i./Acre).  This analysis also indicates that from a Koc of
0.001 and 100, there is very little difference in resulting EECs, but as
Koc increases from 100 to 1000, there is a dramatic drop in EEC.  This
pattern is significant, because most of the components which make up the
spray oils will be in the higher Koc range.  The EFED Memorandum
presented estimates from the Horticultural Oil Spray Task Force (HSOTF),
that the typical Koc would be 47,860.  The EFED Memorandum also
presented data from a study (Nudelman et al., 2002, as cited by HSOTF)
which reported that for many aliphatic spray oils, the Koc values range
from 900 to 6600.  The EFED Memorandum concluded, based on the weight of
evidence for the aliphatic spray oils, that a reasonable estimate of Koc
for these complex mixtures would be between 1000 and 100,000, with a
GENEEC estimate based on a Koc of 10,000 being a reasonable assumption
of exposure due to runoff.  Thus, at the current highest single
application of 477 lbs a.i./Acre, the contribution to the EEC from
runoff would not be expected to exceed 2.5 ppm (mg/L); at 150 lbs
a.i./Acre, the EEC was predicted to be 0.97 ppm, and for the more
typical average application rate, 50 lbs a.i./Acre, the EEC was
predicted to be 0.26 ppm (Table 10).  

The registrants with the highest maximum application rates have
voluntarily agreed to lower these rates.  Thus, their new maximum rates
are now more in line with the 150 lbs a.i./Acre estimates included in
Tables 9 and 10, with off-site spray drift and off-site runoff EECs of
0.82 ppm and 0.79 ppm, respectively, and a combined estimate of off-site
EEC of 1.6 ppm, resulting from a single application with 150 lbs
a.i./Acre.

X.IV.  Ecological Risk Assessment:

Terrestrial Organisms

The EFED Memorandum compiled a summary of terrestrial risk estimates
(Table 11), based on the toxic effects data for terrestrial animals
(Table 7) and the EECs of aliphatic spray oils which would occur on
animal food items (Table 8).  Table 11 shows the application rate
associated with the following key toxicity endpoints, respectively: for
birds, a behavioral endpoint (specifically a “slightly reduced
reaction to external stimuli (sound and movement)”), as well as data
from an acute gavage test and from a dietary feeding test; and for
mammals, data from an acute gavage test.  

Table 11.  Application Rates Associated with Key Toxicity Endpoints in
Terrestrial Organisms

Application Rate	Toxicity Endpoint	Comment

Birds

4 lbs a.i./Acre	Application rate associated with lowest dietary
concentration that produced a toxic effect in birds (NOAEC 1000 ppm, and
LOAEC 1780 ppm; MRID 417421-01). 	Toxic effects in bobwhite quail
included a slight reduced reaction to external stimuli.  (However, no
mortality occurred at the highest dose tested, 5620 ppm.)

6 lbs a.i./Acre	Application rate associated with highest body weight
adjusted dose  tested in available acute oral gavage bird studies (1620
mg/kg-bw; adjusted from 2250 mg/kg-bw for a 20-gram bird).	No mortality
occurred at this dose.

23 lbs a.i./Acre	Application rate associated with highest dietary
concentration tested in available bird studies (5620 ppm).	No mortality
occurred at this concentration.

Mammals

12.7 lbs a.i./Acre	Application rate associated with EECs on short grass
that is 1/10th of the limit dose tested in mammals, 28,000 mg/kg-bw. 	No
mortality occurred at this concentration. (Hine and Zuidema, 1970)



The EFED Memorandum stated that the toxic effects data available for
acute risk to terrestrial organisms are difficult to use, because no
mortality was observed at the limit dose in acute and subacute bird
studies, even though the levels tested in the various studies were not
as high as the potential exposures from the high application rates. 
However, it could be interpreted that because there was no mortality
observed in any of the studies, these test materials are innocuous
(virtually without any toxic effects, even at very elevated doses,
except for the self-limiting aspects of producing diarrhea or vomiting).
 In addition, utilizing a startle reflex in birds or even assessing the
potential risk based on limit doses, at which no mortality was observed,
would result in an overestimate of the potential for terrestrial risks
of these potentially innocuous test materials.

The EFED Memorandum concluded that there was much uncertainty in the
ecological risk assessment, due to the absence of mortality.  However,
the information presented also did postulate that there might be a
potential for risks to the eggs of egg-laying animals, in or adjacent to
the treated field, although the Agency does not generally regulate based
on egg-smothering within application sites.  Further, there was limited
information on which to predict the off-site drift estimates of the
amount of the test material which would impair egg-hatching in off-site
nests.  In addition, the EFED Memo stated that the high application
rates (especially the 477 lbs a.i./Acre [4500 gallons spray mix]
currently on some labels, but even some lower rates) “do not allow for
a definitive conclusion with respect to potential risks to terrestrial
animals,” because the concentrations estimated (by modeling) to be on
food items could actually be higher than levels tested in submitted
studies in birds and mammals.  (However, as stated above, these test
materials may be “innocuous,” at virtually any dose administered,
because none of the testing data have revealed any mortality in birds or
mammals.)  In addition, the EFED Memorandum pointed out that no chronic
or reproduction toxicity data in terrestrial animals have been submitted
to the Agency under FIFRA (although apparently none have ever been
required under a GDCI), and that no plant toxicity data have been
submitted; therefore, the EFED Memorandum continued, “definitive risk
conclusions cannot be made at this time with respect to these surrogate
species.”

In conclusion, the following factors characterize the terrestrial risk
assessment for the spray oils:  1) a lack of mortality data observed in
any testing with mammalian and avian species; 2) the absence of current
reports of phytotoxicity data in these important agricultural crops,
even at high application rates; and 3) reductions have been voluntarily
proposed by registrants from the former, very high, maximum application
rates.  Based on this weight of evidence, the Agency has concluded that
it does not have any concerns regarding the reregistration of these
mineral oil and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon products, due solely to
terrestrial risk assessment. 

Aquatic Organisms

The EFED Memorandum presented preliminary aquatic risk estimations.  The
available data from various toxicity studies had revealed no mortality,
including for various fish species and for estuarine/marine
invertebrates, mysid shrimp.  The aquatic risk assessment information
presented in the EFED Memorandum was preliminary risk quotients (RQs)
based on the reported toxicity data for aquatic invertebrates.  These RQ
values were based on EECs developed on only the off-site spray drift and
on the direct application to water.  The EFED Memorandum pointed out
that the contribution of runoff to the EEC is only discussed
qualitatively, because the composition of the runoff component might not
be toxicologically similar to the composition of oils that enters water
via spraydrift or those which were used in the available toxicity
studies.  The EFED Memorandum also acknowledged that during runoff,
there may be a differential separation of the components, due to
differences in solubility, or some components becoming very highly
sorbed to soil and/or foliar surfaces, or that some components might
degrade, or others become volatilized, and enter the atmosphere.

Ecological Pond Compared with Aquatic Invertebrate Toxicity Data

mg/L

	477 lbs a.i./Acre	2.6 mg/L	130	2.9	0.19	0.43

150 lbs a.i./Acre	0.82 mg/L	41	0.91	0.059	0.14

50 lbs a.i./Acre	0.27 mg/L	14	0.31	0.02	0.045

Direct Application EEC 	2.1 mg/L	105	2.3	0.15	0.35



For their daphnia RQs, the EFED Memorandum relied only on the toxicity
data reported for 90 Neutral Oil (MRID 419028-03; EC50 = 0.02 mg/L);
however, Table 12 lists additional RQ estimates from a study with a
different test material, VHVI-4.  These estimates are included because,
as explained in the section above describing the Ecological Effects
Toxicity Data, many of the available daphnia toxicity studies,
previously submitted to the Agency, had been conducted with materials
which are no longer appropriate for risk assessment purposes (the
products tested are no longer registered, or registrants have agreed to
submit revised CSFs with different TGAIs).  Thus, a range of RQs are
presented in Table 12, with the data for the EC50 = 0.02 mg/L retained
for comparative purposes (although that product was cancelled in 1993,
thus, these values are no longer appropriate and are overly
restrictive).  

There should be some clarification presented on the other two data
columns.  In the study with VHVI-4 (MRID 446373-37), almost all the
daphnia were either immobilized or floating, so the EC50 is less than
0.9 mg/l, the lowest nominal test concentration; however, the RQs
reported in Table 12 are based on the actual 0.9 mg/L value, the lowest
nominal concentration tested.  The actual situation is that
immobilization/floating may actually occur at even lower concentrations,
so based on the “immobilization/floating” endpoint, the true RQs
might be higher than in that data column.  It is not known from the
study report how long the daphnia would remain immobilized, or how long
the surface film would remain in place, which is contributing to their
entrapment.  However, the CDC stated in a letter, dated June 13, 2006,
that “surface film larvicides generally have a shorter environmental
persistence (approx. 2-3 days) than most chemical larvicide
alternatives.”  Thus, the surface film should break up within a few
days.  In addition, that study did report microscope observations of the
daphnia, revealing that their hearts were still beating; thus, the
daphnia were not dead at the conclusion of the 2-day test period. 
Therefore, the actual LC50 value would be greater than the highest dose
tested, 14 mg/L, also reported to be the “the maximum solubility of
VHVI-4 in water.”  If the daphnia survive their immobilization, and
are able to break-free from the oils, then the RQs presented in that
data column in Table 12 may actually be overestimates of the true RQs,
and even for daphnia, the Agency would not have any concerns regarding
the reregistration of these mineral oil and aliphatic petroleum
hydrocarbon products, based on the aquatic risk assessments.

X.V.  Endangered Species:

The Endangered Species Act required federal agencies to ensure that
their actions are not likely to jeopardize listed species or adversely
modify designated critical habitats.  The Agency has developed the
Endangered Species Protection Program to identify pesticides whose use
may cause adverse impacts on federally listed endangered and threatened
species, and to implement mitigation measures that address these
impacts.  To assess the potential of registered pesticide uses that may
affect any particular species, EPA puts basic toxicity and exposure data
developed for the REDs into context for individual listed species and
considers ecological parameters, pesticide use information, the
geographic relationship between specific pesticide uses and species
locations and biological requirements and behavioral aspects of the
particular species.  When conducted, these analyses take into
consideration any regulatory changes recommended in the RED being
implemented at that time.  A determination that there is a likelihood of
potential effects to a listed species may result in limitations on the
use of the pesticide, other measures to mitigate any potential effects,
and/or consultations with the Fish and Wildlife Service or National
Marine Fisheries Service, as necessary.  If the Agency determines use of
these aliphatic solvents (the mineral oil and aliphatic petroleum
hydrocarbon products) “may affect” listed species or their
designated critical habitat, EPA will employ the provisions in the
Services regulations (50 CFR Part 402).  

XI.  Mosquito Larvicide/Pupacide Uses:  

There are three end-use products with labels solely for mosquito
larvicide/pupacide applications: 

Bonide Mosquito Larvicide, EPA Reg. No. 4-195; 

Clarke Mosquito Control Products, Mosquito Larvicide GB-1111, EPA Reg.
No. 8329-72; and 

BVA 2 Mosquito Larvicide Oil, EPA Reg. No. 70589-1.  

These registered products (at least one is each of the OPP Chemical
Codes, in Mineral Oils and in Aliphatic Petroleum Hydrocarbons) have
labeled uses for direct application to water bodies.  To address this
use, the EFED Memorandum described a process which assumed that the
maximum labeled application rate (37 lbs/acre, the highest among the
three products) would be applied directly to the treated water body.  In
order to develop EECs for the ecological risk assessment, EFED assumed
that the application would occur to EFED's standard EXAMS water body of
20,000,000 L.  (See the EFED Memorandum for additional details of the
EXAMS model).  According to the results of this model, assuming
instantaneous equilibrium, the EEC for these mosquito larvicide/pupacide
products, when applied directly to the water body, would be 2.1 mg/L
(ppm), based on the description from the EFED Memorandum (see Table 12
for RQs, based on this EEC).

Due to the characteristics of these mosquito control products, however,
it is likely that the oils would not mix within the water column, and
that the exposures would be restricted to a much higher concentration at
the film layer on the surface of the water.  Thus, there would be a
higher EEC exposure at the surface, but in a smaller proportion of the
entire water body, and a lower EEC throughout the vertical extent of the
water body.  Thus, any possible adverse effects on the critical
components of the aquatic ecosystem would be much lower within the water
column.

Concerning these mosquito larvicide/pupacide uses, the Agency has
solicited a benefits consultation from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).  In a letter (dated June 13, 2006), Dr. Michael A.
McGeehin of CDC described the comparative benefits of Aliphatic Oils, as
follows: 

“Surface film larvicides generally have a shorter environmental
persistence (approx. 2-3 days) than most chemical larvicide
alternatives.”

“They are very quick acting, making them well suited to situations
where rapid control is required, such as habitats in which most of the
mosquitoes are in late larval or pupil stages, or in ephemeral habitats
in which the active ingredient need not be present for a long time.”

“Surface film larvicides like the oils kill all immature mosquito
stages (all larval stages and pupae).  Therefore, timing of application
is not as critical as with other products that require the active
ingredient be consumed by feeding larvae (e.g., those containing
Bacillus thurinigensis israelensis, Bti) or during key periods in larval
development (e.g., the insect growth regulators).”

“Surface films kill pupae, while most other products do not.  As such,
they often provide the only alternative for control of immature
mosquitoes in certain habitats before they become adults.”

“Surface films perform effectively under most field conditions,
regardless of water quality (pH, turbidity, and BOD don’t impact
performance), and on all mosquito species that use the water surface to
breathe (e.g., excluding members of the genera Mansonia or
Coquillettidia).  Other larvicides, such as those using BTI, bacillus
sphaericus, and methoprene, often don’t perform well in highly
polluted water that can produce large numbers of Culex pipiens or Culex
quinquefasciatus mosquitoes (important West Nile virus vectors).  Bti
doesn’t work well with anophelines, because of their habit of feeding
near the water surface.  As such, surface films provide a valuable
option to an integrated mosquito control program.”

The letter from McGeehin of CDC further went on to describe the types of
areas where these surface film mosquito larvicides/pupacides have
advantages.  For example, these surface film mosquito
larvicides/pupacides are utilized in any habitat where pupae and late
4th instar larvae are found and/or the organic content of the water is
extremely high.  The most common type of this situation would be where
the organic matter in the water would reduce the efficacy of other types
of larvicides (sites such as storm sewer catch basins, sewage treatment
plants, storm water impoundments collecting runoff in urban areas, dairy
lagoons, or agricultural processing facilities where waste water
accumulates, such as sugar beet plants in the Great Plains States).  The
surface film mosquito larvicides/pupacides are also effective in areas
known to produce mosquitoes for only a very short time duration, sites
which are expected to be dry for some time periods, or where the use of
longer duration products would not be warranted, such as swales along
rivers and lakes, and certain types of floodwater habitats.  If longer
term control is needed, surface film oils would not be reapplied, but
instead, a product would be used which would provide a longer duration
of control (such as Bti, B. sphaericus, or methoprene).  These surface
film oils would not be routinely utilized in marsh or swamp habitats,
unless the mosquitoes were found to be in the pupil stage and
concentrated within a discrete area, and in these situations, the
surface film products would be targeted in that discrete area, rather
than broadcast over a very large area.

In conclusion, the CDC letter from McGeehin summarized the findings by
stating that the “mineral oils and aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbons
used as surface films provide a valuable option in integrated mosquito
control programs that target mosquitoes of public health importance.”

XII.  Labeling for Aliphatic Solvents Products:

A summary of the various label changes are included in the Label Table. 
Key changes, and the important reasons, are as follows: 

Due to concerns that maximum label rates for citrus on some labels that
were as high as 4500 gallons of spray mix per acre (equal to 477 lbs
a.i../Acre), these registrants have voluntarily agreed to reduce their
highest rate on citrus, with revised labels which will indicate that
applications in Texas and Florida should not exceed 1500 gallons of
spray mix per acre, and in California, should not exceed 2000 gallons of
spray mix per acre (based on Thorough Coverage Spray (TCS), with 1.5
gallons of product mixed in 100 gallons of water).

Due to concerns for the potential for spray drift to travel off-site,
and deposit onto surface waters, possibly resulting in adverse effects
to aquatic invertebrates, the revised labels submitted in fulfillment of
reregistration activities should include the following statement
concerning the restrictions on the use of airblast equipment on the
outer edges of orchards: “For airblast applications, turn off outward
pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying the outer row. To
minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications, spray must be
directed into the canopy.”  In addition, the following language
restrictions should appear on those labels describing aerial spraying:
“For aerial applications of agricultural products, do not release
spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground, top of crops,
or above the orchard canopy.”

XIII.  Tolerance Reassessment:

The Tolerance Expression at 40 CFR 180.149 for active ingredient use for
Mineral Oil (Table 3), the post-harvest uses on corn and sorghum (to
combat storage insect infestation) predates the establishment of the
Environmental Protection Agency, having been first proposed in the
1950s.  A review of the EFED spreadsheets developed by BEAD and an
extensive search of the existing labels failed to detect any Mineral Oil
products with a current label for this grain storage usage.  Thus, as
part of the reregistration process, SRRD will publish a notice of intent
to revoke this tolerance (40 CFR 180.149) in the Federal Register.

Taking into consideration all available information presented herein on
the aliphatic solvents, including the mineral oils and aliphatic
petroleum hydrocarbons, the Agency has determined that there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm to any population subgroup will result
from aggregate exposure to these chemicals when considering exposure
through food commodities and as well as any occupational or
non-occupational sources for which there is reliable information. 
Therefore, the current exemption from the requirement of a tolerance
established for “Petroleum Oils” when applied to growing crops, in
accordance with good agricultural practice, under 40 CFR 180.905, is
reassessed as being safe under section 408(q) of the FFDCA.

Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural
crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).

What assumptions can I make about the reported data?

Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by
merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging by year,
averaging across all years, & then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated
value is less than 500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated
values between 500 & <1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit. 
Estimated values of 1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant
digits.)

Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data
sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, &
rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is
less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.

Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value
reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the
nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5,
then the value is labeled <2.5.

What are the data sources used?

USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service) – pesticide usage data from 1999 to
2004.

NCFAP (National Center for Food and Agricultural Policy) – pesticide
usage data from 1997 and used only if data are not available from the
other sources.

Private Pesticide Market Research – pesticide usage data from 1999 to
2004.

California DPR data can be requested separately.

What are the data limitations?

Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the
available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).

Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply
zero usage.

Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not
quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the
SLUA.

Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control,
etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to
receive these estimates.

Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This
usage could be due to Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the
chemical, data collection errors, experimental use permit (EUP), and/or
because of an illegal use. 

Who do I contact for further information and/or questions on this SLUA?

EPA’S BATCHING OF THE ALIPHATIC SOLVENTS PRODUCTS FOR MEETING ACUTE
MAMMALIAN TOXICITY DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR REREGISTRATION

In an effort to reduce the time, resources and number of animals needed
to fulfill the acute toxicity data requirements for reregistration of
products containing the aliphatic solvents listed in the RED as the
active ingredient(s), the Agency has batched products which can be
considered similar for purposes of acute toxicity.  Factors considered
in the sorting process include each product's active and inert
ingredients (identity, percent composition and biological activity),
type of formulation (e.g., emulsifiable concentrate, aerosol, wettable
powder, granular, etc.), and labeling (e.g., signal word, use
classification, precautionary labeling, etc.).  Note that the Agency is
not describing all the products within a batch as “substantially
similar” because some products within the batch may not be considered
chemically similar or have identical use patterns.

Using available information, batching has been accomplished by the
process described in the preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the
batching process, the Agency reserves the right to require, at any time,
acute toxicity data for an individual product should the need arise. 

Registrants of products within a batch may choose to cooperatively
generate, submit or cite a single battery of six acute toxicological
studies to represent all the products within that batch.  It is the
registrants’ option to participate in the process with all other
registrants, only some of the other registrants, or only their own
products within a batch, or to generate all the required acute
toxicological studies for each of their own products.  If a registrant
chooses to generate the data for a batch, he/she must use one of the
products within the batch as the test material.  If a registrant chooses
to rely upon previously submitted acute toxicity data, he/she may do so
provided that the data base is complete and valid by the standards in
place today (see acceptance criteria attached), the formulation tested
is considered by EPA to be similar for acute toxicity, and the
formulation has not been significantly altered since submission and
acceptance of the acute toxicity data.  Regardless of whether new data
are generated or existing data are referenced, registrants must clearly
identify the test material by EPA Registration Number.  If more than one
Confidential Statement of Formula (CSF) exists for a product, the
registrant must indicate the formulation actually tested by identifying
the corresponding CSF.

In deciding how to meet the product specific data requirements,
registrants must follow the directions given in the Data Call-In Notice
and its attachments appended to the RED.  The DCI Notice contains two
response forms which are to be completed and submitted to the Agency
within 90 days of receipt.  The first form, “Data Call-In Response,”
asks whether the registrant will meet the data requirements for each
product.  The second form, “Requirements Status and Registrant’s
Response,” lists the product specific data required for each product,
including the standard six acute toxicity tests.  A registrant who
wishes to participate in a batch must decide whether he/she will provide
the data or depend on someone else to do so.  If a registrant supplies
the data to support a batch of products, he/she must select one of the
following options: Developing Data (Option 1), Submitting an Existing
Study (Option 4), Upgrading an Existing Study (Option 5), or Citing an
Existing Study (Option 6).  If a registrant depends on another
registrant’s data, he/she must choose among: Cost Sharing (Option 2),
Offers to Cost Share (Option 3), or Citing an Existing Study (Option 6).
 If a registrant does not want to participate in a batch, the choices
are Options 1, 4, 5, or 6.  However, a registrant should know that
choosing not to participate in a batch does not preclude other
registrants in the batch from citing his/her studies and offering to
cost share (Option 3) those studies.

Three OPP Chemical Codes (063501, 063502, and 063503) were found which
contain aliphatic solvents in products as their active ingredient(s). 
The RED found all the CAS Nos. within the products within these three
OPP Chemical Codes to be substantially similar (for purposes of the
RED), and consequently the RED determined that only one OPP Chemical
Code would be needed for reregistration of these products.  This
batching exercise has started with the listing of the products within
their current OPP Chemical Codes, but as will be seen, the batches may
cite data across current OPP Chemical Codes, as indicated within the
respective tables, except for the various “no batch” groups,
products in which must cite data for each respective product (or provide
the Agency with information that the registrant no longer wishes to have
that respective product listed as an product containing “Aliphatic
Solvents” as one of the Active Ingredients). 

	

Batching Instructions:

Products listed in any Batch having a “T” designation, may cite data
for any other product within any T Batch.  Products listed in any Batch
having an “E” designation, may cite data for any other product
within any E Batch.  Any product in any “No Batch” group should
generate their own acute mammalian toxicity data.  Please note that any
acute toxicity values utilized in this document were for informational
purposes only, and the Agency reserves the right to determine that the
data used to arrive at these batching decisions may not meet current
acceptance criteria.
