Executive
Summary
Acute
and
chronic
dietary
(
food
and
water)
exposure
assessments
were
conducted
using
the
Dietary
Exposure
Evaluation
Model
software
with
the
Food
Commodity
Intake
Database
(
DEEM­
FCID
 
,
Version
2.03),
which
uses
food
consumption
data
from
the
USDA's
Continuing
Surveys
of
Food
Intakes
by
Individuals
(
CSFII)
from
1994­
1996
and
1998.
The
acute
and
chronic
dietary
risk
assessments
were
conducted
for
all
supported
TCMTB
food
uses
and
were
performed
to
support
the
reregistration
eligibility
decision
(
RED)
document.

As
an
antimicrobial
pesticide,
TCMTB
[(
2­
benzothiazolylthio)
methyl
thiocyanate]
is
used
largely
as
a
wood
preservative.
It
is
also
used
as
a
microbiocide/
microbiostat
and
bacteriocide/
bacteriostat
in
industrial
processes
and
water
system,
as
well
as
in
industrial
materials,
as
a
preservative.
As
an
agricultural
pesticide,
TCMTB
is
a
fungicide
used
as
a
seed
treatment
on
barley,
corn,
cottonseed,
oats,
rice,
safflower,
sorghum,
sugar
beets,
and
wheat.

The
reregistration
of
TCMTB
is
being
supported
by
Bayer
CropScience
(
Bayer)
and
Wilbur­
Ellis
Company
(
Wilbur­
Ellis).
TCMTB
food/
feed
end­
use
products
are
marketed
in
the
United
States
under
the
trade
names
Busan
®
,
Cotguard
®
,
Nusan
®
,
and
Nu­
Flow
®
.
The
Bayer
and
Wilbur­
Ellis
TCMTB
formulations
registered
for
food/
feed
uses
include
emulsifiable
concentrate
(
EC)
and
soluble
concentrate
(
SC).
For
food/
feed
uses,
Bayer
is
supporting
TCMTB
use
on
cotton
only,
while
Wilbur­
Ellis
is
supporting
uses
on
barley,
oats,
rice,
wheat,
safflower,
cotton,
and
sugar
beets.
The
technical
registrant
of
TCMTB,
Buckman
Laboratories,
Inc.
(
Buckman),
has
requested
cancellation
of
all
food/
feed
uses.
Bayer
and
Wilbur­
Ellis
will
be
responsible
for
providing
the
Agency
with
the
appropriate
data
needed
to
maintain
there
supported
uses
on
their
product
labels.

Tolerances
are
established
for
residues
of
the
fungicide
2­(
thiocyanomethylthio)
benzothiazole
in/
on
barley
(
grain
and
straw),
sugar
beets
(
roots
and
tops),
corn
(
forage,
grain,
and
stover),
cotton
(
forage
and
undelinted
seed),
oats
(
forage,
grain,
hay,
and
straw),
rice
(
grain
and
straw),
safflower
(
seed),
sorghum
grain
(
forage,
grain,
and
stover),
and
wheat
(
forage,
grain,
hay,
and
straw)
at
40
CFR
§
180.288.
The
permanent
tolerances
for
residues
in
plant
commodities
are
established
at
the
limit
of
detection
(
LOD)
of
0.10
ppm.

Acute
Dietary
Exposure
Results
and
Characterization
of
Input
Data
A
conservative
acute
dietary
exposure
assessment
was
conducted
to
estimate
the
dietary
risks
associated
with
the
reregistration
of
TCMTB.
The
acute
dietary
exposure
assessment
incorporated
maximum
theoretical
concentration
factors
for
all
commodities,
existing
tolerance
level
residues,
100%
crop
treated,
and
the
FQPA
Index
Reservoir
Screening
Tool
(
FIRST)
estimated
peak
drinking
water
concentration.
Acute
dietary
risk
estimates
are
provided
for
the
general
U.
S.
population
and
various
population
subgroups,
with
the
major
emphasis
placed
on
the
exposure
estimates
for
infants
and
children.
However,
an
endpoint
for
females
13­
49
years
old
was
not
identified
in
the
available
toxicity
database
for
TCMTB;
therefore,
a
separate
dietary
risk
estimate
for
females
13­
49
years
old
is
not
provided
in
this
assessment.
This
assessment
concludes
that
for
all
supported
commodities,
the
acute
dietary
risk
estimates
do
not
exceed
HED's
level
of
concern
(
less
than
100%
of
the
aPAD)
at
the
95th
exposure
percentile
for
the
U.
S.
population
(
less
than
1%

and
all
population
subgroups,
with
the
highest

subgroup
being
children
3­

I.
Introduction
Dietary
risk
assessment
incorporates
both
exposure
and
toxicity
of
a
given
pesticide.
For
acute
and
chronic
assessments,
the
risk
is
expressed
as
a
percentage
of
a
maximum
acceptable
dose
(
i.
e.,
the
dose
which
the
Health
Effects
Division
has
concluded
will
result
in
no
unreasonable
adverse
health
effects).
This
dose
is
referred
to
as
the
population
adjusted
dose
(
PAD).
The
PAD
is
equivalent
to
the
Reference
Dose
(
RfD)
divided
by
the
special
FQPA
Safety
Factor.

For
acute
and
non­
cancer
chronic
exposures,
HED
is
concerned
when
estimated
dietary
risk
exceeds
100%
of
the
PAD.

Residue
Information
The
Risk
Assessment
Review
Committee
(
RARC)
met
and
determined
that
the
interim
residue
of
concern
for
tolerance
expression
and
risk
assessment
is
TCMTB
in/
on
plants
(
P.
Deschamp,
Report
of
the
RARC,
1/
11/
2006).
This
is
a
preliminary
decision
dependent
on
the
results
from
the
requested
confirmatory
metabolism
data.
Metabolism
data
depicting
the
nature
of
residues
in
wheat,
cotton,
and
sugar
beets
are
requested.
For
drinking
water,
the
RARC
decided
that
the
residues
of
concern
for
risk
assessment
are
TCMTB
and
2­
MBT.
Summary
of
the
decisions
concerning
the
residues
of
concern
in
plants
and
drinking
water
are
presented
below
in

Dietary
Assessments
Tolerance
level
residues
of
0.10
ppm
were
incorporated
into
the
acute
and
chronic
assessments
for
all
commodities.

Processing
Factors
No
processing
studies
are
available
for
TCMTB;
therefore,
maximum
theoretical
concentration
factors
were
used
for
all
commodities
(
OPPTS
Guideline
860.1520).
For
a
complete
list
of
all
processing
factors
incorporated
into
the
acute
and
chronic
assessments
please
see

Usage
Information
No
usage
data
are
available
for
TCMTB,
so
100%
crop
treated
was
assumed
for
all
commodities.

III.
Drinking
Water
Data
The
drinking
water
values
used
in
the
dietary
risk
assessment
were
provided
by
the
Environmental
Fate
and
Effects
Division
(
EFED)
in
the
following
memorandum:
"
Drinking
Water
Assessment
for
the
Use
of
the
Fungicide
of
TCMTB
as
a
Seed
Treatment
on
Cotton,
Wheat,
Barley,
Oats,
Rice,
Sugar
Beets,
and
Safflower"
(
J.
Lin,
D324010,
1/
31/
06).

The
estimated
drinking
water
concentrations
are
calculated
using
the
FIRST
(
version
1.0;
Aug.
1,
2001)
screening
model
to
assess
estimated
concentrations
of
the
sum
of
TCMTB
and
all
potential
degradates
in
surface
water.
The
highest
rate
of
0.041
lb
ai/
A
(
safflower
scenario)
is
used
for
calculating
the
drinking
water
concentrations.
The
model
and
its
description
are
available
at
the
EPA
internet
site:
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
oppefed1/
models/
water/.

Results
from
FIRST
indicate
that
the
peak
(
acute)
concentration
of
TCMTB
and
degradates
is
not
likely
to
exceed
0.94
:
g/
L
(
ppb),
and
that
the
average
annual
(
chronic)
concentration
is
not
likely
to
exceed
0.67
:
g/
L
(
ppb).

Program
and
Consumption
Information
TCMTB
acute
and
chronic
dietary
exposure
assessments
were
conducted
using
the
Dietary
Exposure
Evaluation
Model
software
with
the
Food
Commodity
Intake
Database
(
DEEMFCID
 
,
Version
2.03),
which
incorporates
consumption
data
from
USDA's
Continuing
Surveys
of
Food
Intakes
by
Individuals
(
CSFII),
1994­
1996
and
1998.
The
1994­
96,
98
data
are
based
on
the
reported
consumption
of
more
than
20,000
individuals

Foods
"

(
e.
g.,

are
linked
to
EPA­
defined
food
commodities
(

fruit
­
cooked;
fresh
or
N/

­
cooked;
fresh
or
N/
S,
baked)
using
publicly
available
recipe
translation
files
developed
jointly
by
USDA/
ARS
and
EPA.
For
chronic
exposure
assessment,
consumption
data
are
averaged
for
the
entire
U.
S.
population
and
within
population
subgroups,
but
for
acute
exposure
assessment
are
retained
as
individual
consumption
events.
Based
on
analysis
of
the
1994­
96,
98
CSFII
consumption
data,
which
took
into
account
dietary
patterns
and
survey
respondents,
HED
concluded
that
it
is
most
appropriate
to
report
risk
for
the
following
population
subgroups:
the
general
U.
S.
population,
all
infants
(
less
than
1
year
old),
children
1­
2,
children
3­
5,
children
6­
12,
youth
13­
19,
adults
20­
49,
females
13­
49,
and
adults
50+
years
old.

For
chronic
dietary
exposure
assessment,
an
estimate
of
the
residue
level
in
each
food
or
foodform
(
e.
g.,
orange
or
orange
juice)
on
the
food
commodity
residue
list
is
multiplied
by
the
average
daily
consumption
estimate
for
that
food/
food
form
to
produce
a
residue
intake
estimate.
The
resulting
residue
intake
estimate
for
each
food/
food
form
is
summed
with
the
residue
intake
estimates
for
all
other
food/
food
forms
on
the
commodity
residue
list
to
arrive
at
the
total
average
estimated
exposure.
Exposure
is
expressed
in
mg/
kg
body
weight/
day
and
as
a
percent
of
the
cPAD.
This
procedure
is
performed
for
each
population
subgroup.

For
acute
exposure
assessments,
individual
one­
day
food
consumption
data
are
used
on
an
individual­
by­
individual
basis.
The
reported
consumption
amounts
of
each
food
item
can
be
multiplied
by
a
residue
point
estimate
and
summed
to
obtain
a
total
daily
pesticide
exposure
for
a
deterministic
exposure
assessment,
or
"
matched"
in
multiple
random
pairings
with
residue
values
and
then
summed
in
a
probabilistic
assessment.
The
resulting
distribution
of
exposures
is
expressed
as
a
percentage
of
the
aPAD
on
both
a
user
(
i.
e.,
only
those
who
reported
eating
relevant
commodities/
food
forms)
and
a
per­
capita
(
i.
e.,
those
who
reported
eating
the
relevant
commodities
as
well
as
those
who
did
not)
basis.
In
accordance
with
HED
policy,
per
capita
exposure
and
risk
are
reported
for
all
tiers
of
analysis.
However,
for
tiers
1
and
2,
any
significant
differences
in
user
vs.
per
capita
exposure
and
risk
are
specifically
identified
and
noted
in
the
risk
assessment.

risk
characterization,
the
Reference

(
RfD)
approach
should
be
used
for
quantitation
of
human

VI.
Results/
Discussion
As
stated
above,
for
acute
and
chronic
assessments,
HED
is
concerned
when
dietary
risk
exceeds
100%
of
the
PAD.
The
DEEM­
FCID
 
analyses
estimate
the
dietary
exposure
of
the
U.
S.
population
and
various
population
subgroups.
The
acute
dietary
exposure
analysis
results
reported
in
Table

are
for
the
general
U.

VII.
Characterization
of
Inputs/
Outputs
The
acute
and
chronic
dietary
exposure
assessments
are
refined
through
the
use
of
theoretically
determined
processing
factors.
Tolerance
values
were
used
for
all
commodities
in
the
acute
and
chronic
dietary
exposure
assessments
and
100%
crop
treated
was
assumed
for
all
commodities.
HED
concludes
that
the
exposure
estimates
provided
in
this
document
likely
overestimate
actual
exposure.

VIII.
Conclusions
The
acute
and
chronic
dietary
risk
assessments
were
conducted
for
all
supported
TCMTB
food
uses
and
were
performed
to
support
the
RED
document.
The
acute
and
chronic
assessments
show
that
dietary
(
including
drinking
water)
exposure
and
risk
are
not
of
concern
for
the
supported
uses.
