ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-1060; FRL-8155-4]
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)''.
