II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of October 21, 2021 (86 FR 58239) (FRL-
8792-04-OCSPP), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 
408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide 
petition (PP 1E8913) by IR-4, North Carolina State University, 1730 
Varsity Drive, Venture IV, Suite 210, Raleigh, NC 27606. The petition 
requested to amend 40 CFR part 180.681 to establish tolerances for 
residues of the fungicide isofetamid, N-[1,1-dimethyl-2-[2-methyl-4-(l-
methylethoxy)phenyl]-2-oxoethyl]-3-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxamide 
including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the raw agricultural 
commodities ginseng at 3 ppm; individual commodities of Proposed Crop 
Subgroup 6-XXA: Edible podded bean legume vegetable subgroup at 0.6 
ppm; individual commodities of Proposed Crop Subgroup 6-XXB: Edible 
podded pea legume vegetable subgroup at 1.5 ppm; individual commodities 
of Proposed Crop Subgroup 6-XXC: Succulent shelled bean subgroup at 
0.04 ppm; individual commodities of Proposed Crop Subgroup 6-XXD: 
Succulent shelled pea subgroup at 0.04 ppm; individual commodities of 
Proposed Crop Subgroup 6-XXE: Dried shelled bean (except soybean), 
subgroup at 0.04 ppm; and individual commodities of Proposed Crop 
Subgroup 6-XXF: Dried shelled pea subgroup at 0.04 ppm. See the October 
21, 2021, Federal Register notice for the specific commodities. 
Additionally, the petition requested to remove the established 
tolerances in or on the raw agricultural commodities: Pea and bean, 
dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C at 0.040 ppm; Pea and bean, 
succulent shelled, subgroup 6B at 0.030 ppm; and vegetable, legume, 
edible podded, subgroup 6A at 1.50 ppm. That document referenced a 
summary of the petition, which is available in the docket, https://www.regulations.gov.

[[Page 45666]]

There were no comments received in response to the notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition and in 
accordance with its authority under FFDCA section 408(d)(4)(A)(i), EPA 
is modifying the crop group definitions to be consistent with Agency 
terminology and removing the existing tolerances for Vegetable, legume, 
edible podded, subgroup 6A; Pea and bean, succulent shelled, subgroup 
6B; and Pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a 
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a 
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section 
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a 
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure 
to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary 
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable 
information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in 
residential settings but does not include occupational exposure. 
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special 
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide 
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there 
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and 
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue . . 
. .''
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors 
specified therein, EPA has reviewed the available scientific data and 
other relevant information in support of this action. EPA has 
sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a determination on 
aggregate exposure for isofetamid including exposure resulting from the 
tolerances established by this action. EPA's assessment of exposures 
and risks associated with isofetamid 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 rulemaking of the same pesticide 
chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical 
remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between 
tolerance rulemaking, and 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 has previously published tolerance rulemakings in 2015 and 2017 
in which EPA concluded, based on the available information, that there 
is a reasonable certainty that no harm would result from aggregate 
exposure to isofetamid and established tolerances for residues of that 
pesticide chemical. EPA is incorporating previously published sections 
from the 2015 and 2017 rulemakings as described further in this 
rulemaking, as they remain unchanged.
    Toxicological profile. For a discussion of the Toxicological 
Profile of isofetamid, see Unit III.A. of the isofetamid tolerance 
rulemaking published in the Federal Register of July 30, 2015 (80 FR 
45438) (FRL-9923-86).
    Toxicological points of departure/Levels of concern. For a summary 
of the Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern for 
isofetamid used for human risk assessment, please reference Unit III.B. 
of the July 30, 2015, rulemaking.
    Exposure assessment. EPA's dietary exposure assessments have been 
updated to include the additional exposure from the new use of 
isofetamid on ginseng and the crop group expansions to all the 
individual bean and pea commodities in proposed crop group 6-XX, which 
is not yet finalized. An acute dietary exposure assessment was not 
performed as there are no appropriate toxicological effects 
attributable to a single exposure (dose). An unrefined chronic 
aggregate dietary (food and drinking water) exposure and risk 
assessment was conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model 
software with the Food Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID) Version 
4.02. This software uses 2005-2010 food consumption data from the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) National Health and Nutrition 
Examination Survey, What We Eat in America (NHANES/WWEIA). The 
unrefined chronic dietary exposure assessment used tolerance-level 
residues and assumed 100 percent crop treated (PCT) for all registered 
and proposed commodities. Default processing factors were used for all 
other proposed and registered processed commodities. Exposure to 
drinking water was incorporated directly into the dietary assessment. A 
cancer dietary assessment was not conducted because isofetamid is 
classified as ``not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.''
    Drinking water and non-occupational exposures. The previously 
recommended estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) remain 
current and are considered protective potential drinking water residue 
levels anticipated from the proposed tolerance updates. As stated in 
the July 30, 2015, rulemaking, the chronic dietary exposure and risk 
assessment incorporate the highest total estimated drinking water 
concentrations (EDWC) of 110 parts per billion directly into this 
dietary assessment. The residential exposure assessment has not changed 
since the June 14, 2017, rulemaking (82 FR 27149) (FRL-9961-80) because 
there are no proposed new residential uses. For a summary of the 
residential exposure analysis for isofetamid used for the human risk 
assessment, please reference Unit III.C.3. of the June 14, 2017, 
rulemaking.
    Cumulative exposure. 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.'' 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 for isofetamid and any other substances and 
isofetamid does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by 
other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, 
EPA has not assumed that isofetamid has a common mechanism of toxicity 
with other substances.
    Safety factor for infants and children. EPA continues to conclude 
that there are reliable data to support the reduction of the Food 
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor from 10X to 1X. See Unit 
III.D. of the July 30, 2015, rulemaking for a discussion of the 
Agency's rationale for that determination.
    Aggregate risks and determination of safety. EPA determines whether 
acute and chronic dietary pesticide exposures are safe by comparing 
aggregate exposure estimates to the acute population-adjusted dose 
(aPAD) and chronic population-adjusted dose (cPAD). Short-, 
intermediate-, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing the 
estimated aggregate food, water, and residential exposure to the 
appropriate points of departure to ensure that an adequate margin of 
exposure (MOE) exists. For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the 
lifetime probability of acquiring cancer given the estimated aggregate 
exposure.
    An acute dietary exposure assessment was not performed as there 
were no appropriate toxicological effects

[[Page 45667]]

attributable to a single exposure (dose) observed in available oral 
toxicity studies, including maternal toxicity in the developmental 
toxicity studies. Chronic dietary risks are below the Agency's level of 
concern of 100% of the cPAD; they are 4.0% of the cPAD for children 1 
to 2 years old, the group with the highest exposure. The combined 
short-term food, water, and residential exposures result in an 
aggregate MOE of 670 for children 1 to 2 years old. This MOE is greater 
than the level of concern of 100 and is therefore not of concern. 
Isofetamid is classified as ``Not Likely to Be Carcinogenic to 
Humans''; therefore, EPA does not expect isofetamid exposures to pose 
an aggregate cancer risk.
    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 isofetamid residues. More detailed information on 
this action can be found in the document titled ``Isofetamid. Human 
Health Risk Assessment for the Petition to Establish Permanent 
Tolerances and Associated Section 3 Registration for Residues Resulting 
from Proposed Use on Ginseng and for Crop Group Conversions and 
Expansions.'' in docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0385.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    For a discussion of the available analytical enforcement method, 
see Unit IV.A. of the July 30, 2015, rulemaking.

B. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S. 
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent 
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA 
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established 
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA 
section 408(b)(4).
    There are no Codex MRLs for isofetamid in or on ginseng. Presently, 
there are Codex MRLs established for residues of isofetamid on edible 
podded beans and peas at 0.6 ppm and on dry beans and peas at 0.09 ppm. 
The U.S. tolerances of 0.6 ppm for the commodities in the proposed 
edible podded bean legume subgroup are harmonized with the Codex MRL 
for edible podded beans. The U.S. tolerances for the edible podded pea 
commodities at 1.5 ppm are not harmonized with the lower Codex MRL of 
0.6 ppm. Harmonization with Codex is not possible for the commodities 
in the proposed edible podded pea legume vegetable subgroup because 
decreasing the U.S. tolerance could cause U.S. growers to have 
violative residues despite legal use of isofetamid according to the 
label. EPA considered harmonizing the tolerances for dried bean and 
dried pea commodities with the Codex MRL, but rather elected to be 
consistent with the Canadian MRL.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of isofetamid in 
or on Bean, adzuki, dry seed at 0.04 ppm; Bean, American potato, dry

ppm; and Yam bean, African, dry seed at 0.04 ppm.
    Additionally, the existing tolerances on Vegetable, legume, edible 
podded, subgroup 6A; Pea and bean, succulent shelled, subgroup 6B; and 
Pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C are removed as 
unnecessary since they are covered by the new tolerances established in 
this rulemaking.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes tolerances 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 to 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 tolerances 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.
    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).

VII. 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).
