Pesticide Inert Ingredients: Support Status of Revoked Tolerance 
Exemptions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: EPA has received notice from various companies of their 
intention to submit data in order to support the reinstatement of a 
number of inert ingredient tolerance exemptions that were revoked 
because of insufficient data, revocations effective as of August 9, 
2008, in a final rule published in the Federal Register on August 9, 
2006 (71 FR 45415). This notice identifies the tolerance exemptions 
that the companies indicate they will be supporting with the submission 
of data. The information in this notice is for informational purposes 
only and does not affect the previous revocations. Based on the review 
of the submitted data, EPA will conduct rulemaking to establish new 
tolerance exemptions where appropriate.

II. Background

A. Background on the Revocation of Pesticide Inert Ingredient Tolerance 
Exemptions on August 9, 2006

    In a final rule published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2006 
(71 FR 45415) (FRL-8084-1), EPA revoked inert ingredient tolerance 
exemptions because insufficient data were available to the Agency to 
make the safety determination required by FFDCA section 408(c)(2). In 
making the FFDCA reassessment safety determination, EPA considered the 
validity, completeness, and reliability of the data that are available 
to the Agency [FFDCA section 408 (b)(2)(D)] and the available 
information concerning the special susceptibility of infants and 
children (including developmental effects from in utero exposure) 
[FFDCA section 408 (b)(2)(C)]. Data gaps existed for these inert 
ingredients in areas that were critical to reassessment. Without these 
data, the assessment of possible effects to infants and children could 
not be made. EPA concluded it had insufficient data to make the safety 
finding of FFDCA section 408(c)(2) and revoked the inert ingredient 
tolerance exemptions identified in the final rule under 40 CFR 180.910, 
180.920, 180.930, and 180.940, with the revocations effective two years 
after the date of publication. The tolerance exemptions will expire on 
August 9, 2008.

B. What Information Is Provided In This Notice?

    EPA has received communications from pesticide registrants and 
inert ingredient manufacturers expressing interest in supporting 
certain inert ingredient tolerance exemptions that were revoked in the 
final rule of August 9, 2008. EPA developed voluntary guidance 
describing how interested parties could support these revoked tolerance 
exemptions, including consultations with the Agency and how they can 
demonstrate support, including identifying test materials and providing 
evidence that a laboratory has been hired to conduct the study. The 
voluntary guidance document, entitled ``Guidance for Supporting the 
Inert Ingredients Subject to the Revocation Notice of August 9, 2006'', 
is available on EPA's website at http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/.

    In the interest of keeping the stakeholders informed about 
activities that may impact these revoked tolerance exemptions, EPA is 
publishing in this notice the support status of each of the revoked 
tolerance exemptions by indicating whether the Agency has received a 
demonstration of support (such as described in the guidance document 
discussed above).
    Be advised that the information provided in this notice does not 
guarantee or in any way bind the Agency to reinstate tolerance

[[Page 62233]]

exemptions, establish new tolerance exemptions, or grant extensions to 
expiring tolerance exemptions. EPA cannot guarantee that the parties 
will, in fact, submit any data at all. Additionally, it is possible 
that the data submitted to support a tolerance exemption may not 
support a safety finding under FFDCA section 408(c)(2). In these cases, 
the tolerance exemption will not be reinstated nor will a new one be 
established. The information being published here is designed simply to 
inform interested stakeholders about the tolerance exemptions for which 
the Agency has received a demonstration of support. EPA recommends that 
you contact the chemical suppliers to confirm their plans for 
supporting a tolerance exemption.
    It is important to note that several parties have indicated that 
they may want to support only a portion of a tolerance exemption 
expression that includes a range of chemicals. At this time, EPA does 
not know exactly what range of chemicals within a tolerance exemption 
will eventually be supported by data. Until the data are submitted and 
reviewed, EPA will not know what portion, if any, of a current 
tolerance exemption can be reinstated. If the results of the data 
permit, a supported exemption may be reinstated in whole, or a new 
tolerance exemption may be established if only a part of a revoked 
exemption is supported by the data. Again, contact the chemical 
suppliers to confirm their plans for supporting a tolerance exemption. 
Unit III. of this document provides the tolerance exemptions the 
parties assert they are supporting.

III. Support Status of Revoked Tolerance Exemptions

    The following provides the support status of each of the inert 
ingredient tolerance exemptions revoked because of insufficient data. 
The tolerance exemptions are presented below in the order they appeared 
in the final rule published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2006 
(71 FR 45415). The support status has been added to the end of each 
tolerance exemption expression. For example, under Sec.  180.910, the 
entry for the tolerance exemption expression ``y. Sodium mono-, di-, 
and tributyl naphthalenesulfonates'' ends with ``(Demonstration of 
Support)'', which means that the EPA has received communication from a 
party that they intend to submit data supporting reinstatment of all or 
part of the tolerance exemption and the parties have taken measures to 
demonstrate their support to the Agency such as those described in the 
voluntary guidance document (discussed above). On the other hand, under 
Sec.  180.910, the entry for the tolerance exemption expression ``v. 
Sodium lauryl glyceryl ether sulfonate'' ends with ``(No Demonstration 
of Support)'', which means the EPA has not received communication from 
a party concerning support of the exemption and/or has not received a 
sufficient demonstration of support. Tolerance exemptions that are not 
supported by the submission of adequate data will expire on August 9, 
2008. If EPA determines that specific tolerance exemptions scheduled to 
expire are supported by adequate data, the Agency intends to conduct 
rulemaking to reinstate the exemptions or create new tolerance 
exemptions for the affected commodities. EPA recommends that you 
contact the chemical suppliers to confirm their plans for supporting a 
tolerance exemption.
    Also, the final rule published in the Federal Register on August 9, 
2006 (71 FR 45415) revoked two inert ingredient tolerance exemptions 
that were inadvertently removed from the CFR some time ago but are 
considered to be an active tolerance exemptions under Sec. Sec.  
180.910 and 180.930. The support status of these tolerance exemptions 
is found at the end of Sec. Sec.  180.910 and 180.930.
    In addition to the revocation of tolerance exemptions for 
insufficient data, an administrative revocation was completed for seven 
redundant and incorrect tolerance exemptions under 40 CFR part 180 in 
the final rule published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2006 (71 
FR 45415). These tolerance exemptions were revoked on the date of 
publication of the final rule. These seven tolerance exemptions appear 
in the list below so as to maintain the original order of the list of 
tolerance exemptions as given in the final rule and facilitate the 
reader's ability to determine the support status of each of the 
tolerance exemptions revoked for insufficient data. The status of the 
seven exemptions is indicated as ``(Administrative Revocation is 
Complete)''.
