40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0323; FRL-9934-01-OCSPP]


Oxirane, 2-Methyl-, Polymer With Oxirane, Mono-C9-11-Isoalkyl 
Ethers, C10-Rich, Phosphates, Potassium Salts; Tolerance Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement 
of a tolerance for residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium 
salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), when used as an inert ingredient 
(surfactant, related adjuvants of surfactant) in pesticide formulations 
used pre- and post-harvest as well as in formulations applied to 
livestock. Spring Regulatory Sciences, on behalf of Nouryon Chemicals 
LLC (USA), submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, 
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption from the requirement 
of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to establish a 
tolerance for residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, 
mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts (CAS 
Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), on food or feed commodities or when applied to 
livestock.

DATES: This regulation is effective September 16, 2022. Objections and 
requests for hearings must be received on or before November 15, 2022, 
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of June 1, 2021 (86 FR 29231) (FRL-10023-
95), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 
346a, announcing the receipt of a pesticide petition (PP IN-11515) 
filed by Spring Regulatory Sciences, 6620 Cypresswood Dr., Suite 250, 
Spring, TX 77379, on behalf of Nouryon Chemicals LLC, (USA), 131 S 
Dearborn, Suite 1000, Chicago, IL 60603-5566. The petition requested 
that 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 be amended by adding oxirane, 2-methyl-
, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8) for use as an 
inert ingredient at no more than 30% by weight of the final pesticide 
formulation to the current tolerance exemption for alkyl alcohol 
alkoxylate phosphate and sulfate derivatives (AAAPSDs). That document 
included a summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner and 
solicited comments on the petitioner's request. The Agency did not 
receive any public comments.

[[Page 56900]]

III. Inert Ingredient Definition

    Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active 
ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not 
limited to, the following types of ingredients (except when they have a 
pesticidal efficacy of their own): Solvents such as alcohols and 
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty 
acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as 
carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing 
agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents; 
and emulsifiers. The term ``inert'' is not intended to imply 
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active. 
Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a 
tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert 
ingredients.

IV. Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an 
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a 
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that 
the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section 408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines 
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm 
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue, 
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for 
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through 
drinking water and in residential settings but does not include 
occupational exposure. Section 408(c)(2)(B) requires EPA to take into 
account the factors identified in section 408(b)(2)(C) and (D) when 
determining whether an exemption is safe.
    Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special 
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide 
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there 
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and 
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue.'' 
Section 408(b)(2)(D) lists other factors for consideration when making 
a safety determination.
    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only 
in those cases where it can be shown that the risks from aggregate 
exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable 
circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order 
to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert 
ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in 
conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient 
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as 
a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to 
determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there 
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate 
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of 
a tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors 
specified in FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), EPA has reviewed the available 
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this 
action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability and 
the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also 
considered available information concerning the variability of the 
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including 
infants and children. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of 
and to make a determination on aggregate exposure to oxirane, 2- 
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts including exposure resulting from the 
exemption established by this action. EPA's assessment of exposures and 
risks associated with oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-
C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts follows.
    In an effort to streamline its publications in the Federal 
Register, EPA is not reprinting sections that repeat what has been 
previously published for tolerance rulemakings of the same pesticide 
chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical 
remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between 
tolerance rulemakings, and republishing the same sections is 
unnecessary. EPA considers referral back to those sections as 
sufficient to provide an explanation of the information EPA considered 
in making its safety determination for the new rulemaking.
    EPA issued a rule in July 2009 exempting alkyl alcohol alkoxylate 
phosphate derivatives (AAAPDs) and alkyl alcohol alkoxylate sulfate 
derivatives (AAASDs), collectively referred to as AAAPSDs. Oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts (CAS No. 2275654-37-8) is an AAAPD that is 
synthesized as a mixture. Based on the structural and physicochemical 
similarities between oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-
11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts and other 
AAAPSDs previously assessed by EPA, the data used in the 2009 risk 
assessment for AAAPSDs is considered appropriate to assess oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts.

A. Toxicological Profile

    The toxicological profile of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium 
salts remain unchanged from the Toxicological Profile for the AAAPSDs 
in Unit IV.A. of the July 29, 2009, rulemaking (74 FR 37571) (FRL-8424-
6). Refer to that section for a discussion of the Toxicological Profile 
of AAAPSDs.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    The Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern of oxirane, 
2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts remain unchanged because the toxicological 
database remains the same for the AAAPSDs in Unit IV.B. of the July 29, 
2009, rulemaking (74 FR 37571) (FRL-8424-6). Refer to that section for 
a discussion of the Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern 
of AAAPSDs.

C. Exposure Assessment

    The exposure assessment for oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium 
salts remains unchanged from the July 29, 2009, rulemaking and 
supporting human health risk assessment for the AAAPSDs (D365210, June 
8, 2009), because the PODs and use limitation remain the same.

D. Cumulative Effects From Substances With a Common Mechanism of 
Toxicity

    Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of 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.''

[[Page 56901]]

    EPA has not determined that oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium 
salts share a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substances, 
and oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl 
ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts do not appear to produce 
a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of 
this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts do not have a common mechanism of toxicity 
with other substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to 
determine which chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to 
evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's website at 
https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/cumulative-assessment-risk-pesticides.

E. Additional Safety Factor for the Protection of Infants and Children

    Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an 
additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants and children in 
the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal 
toxicity and the completeness of the data base unless EPA concludes 
that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and 
children. EPA continues to conclude that there is reliable data showing 
that the safety of infants and children would be adequately protected 
if the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor were reduced 
from 10x to 1x. The reasons for that decision are articulated in Unit 
IV.D. of the July 29, 2009, rulemaking.

F. Determination of Safety

    As noted in the July 29, 2009, rulemaking, provided that the 
AAAPSDs are limited to no more than 30% by weight in the final 
formulation, there were no dietary, residential, or aggregate risks of 
concern for the U.S. population and all subpopulations. Based on its 
assessment of human health risk, EPA established exemptions from the 
requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.920, and 180.930 
for use of the AAAPSDs as inert ingredients at no more than 30% by 
weight in pesticide end-use products. Similarly, provided oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts, which is a AAAPD, is limited to no more 
than 30% by weight in the final formulation, EPA concludes that there 
are no dietary, residential, or aggregate risks of concern for the U.S. 
population and all subpopulations. Therefore, based on the risk 
assessments and information described above, EPA concludes there is a 
reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general 
population, or to infants and children, from aggregate exposure to 
oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, 
C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts. More detailed information about 
the Agency's analysis can be found at https://www.regulations.gov in 
the documents titled ``Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate 
Derivatives (AAAPDs and AAASDs--JITF CST 2 Inert Ingredients); Human 
Health Risk Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the 
Requirement of a Tolerance When Used as Inert Ingredients in Pesticide 
Formulations''; and ``IN-11515; Petition to Add oxirane, 2-methyl-, 
polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, 
potassium salts (CAS Reg. No. 2275654-37-8), to the Current Tolerance 
Exemption for Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate 
Derivatives (AAAPSDs).'' These documents can be found in docket ID 
numbers EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0131 and EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0323.

V. Other Considerations

Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since 
the Agency is not establishing a numerical tolerance for residues of 
oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, 
C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts in or on any food commodities. 
EPA is establishing a limitation on the amount of oxirane, 2-methyl-, 
polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, 
potassium salts that may be used in pesticide formulations. This 
limitation will be enforced through the pesticide registration process 
under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 
(``FIFRA''), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. EPA will not register any pesticide 
formulation for food use that exceeds 30% by weight of oxirane, 2-
methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, 
phosphates, potassium salts in the final pesticide formulation.

VI. Conclusion

    EPA determines that residues of oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 
oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, C10-rich, phosphates, potassium 
salts when limited to no more than 30% by weight in pesticide 
formulations are safe. Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of 
a tolerance is established under 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 for 
oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane, mono-C9-11-isoalkyl ethers, 
C10-rich, phosphates, potassium salts, when used as an inert ingredient 
at no more than 30% by weight in pesticide formulations.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance under FFDCA section 408(d) in response to a petition 
submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 
12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, 
October 4, 1993). Because this action has been exempted from review 
under Executive Order 12866, this action is not subject to Executive 
Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 
28355, May 22, 2001), or Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not contain any information 
collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), nor does it require any special 
considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal Actions 
to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income 
Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis 
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the exemptions in 
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the 
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et 
seq.), do not apply.

[[Page 56902]]

    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food 
handlers, and food retailers, not States or Tribes, nor does this 
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and 
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions 
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that 
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or 
Tribal Governments, on the relationship between the National Government 
and the States or Tribal Governments, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between 
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Thus, the Agency has 
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 
43255, August 10, 1999), and Executive Order 13175, entitled 
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 
67249, November 9, 2000), do not apply to this action. In addition, 
this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any 
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 
Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would 
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant 
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

VIII. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required 
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and 
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of 
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' 
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
