II. Background
A. Background on the Inert Ingredient
Tolerance Exemption Revocation Action
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). 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 on August 9, 2008.
This action did not preclude the
possibility that through rulemaking EPA
could reinstate those tolerance
exemptions for which data are
submitted that are sufficient to support
the 408(c)(2) safety finding.
In the Federal Register of November
2, 2007, (72 FR 62232)(FRL–8155–4),
EPA published the support status of
each of the revoked tolerance
exemptions. EPA had received
communications from pesticide
registrants and inert ingredient
manufacturers expressing interest in
supporting certain revoked inert
ingredient tolerance exemptions. EPA’s
guidance, available at https://
www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/,
describes how interested parties could
demonstrate support for revoked
tolerance exemptions, including
identifying test materials and contracts
with laboratories.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal
Register is the final rule that moves the
effective date of the revocation to
August 9, 2009 for those tolerance
exemptions where EPA has received a
demonstration of intent to support. No
extensions are granted for revoked
tolerance exemptions where EPA has
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
45317
not received a demonstration of intent
to support, therefore, the revocation
date for unsupported tolerance
exemptions remains August 9, 2008.
B. Effective Dates of the Revocation of
Tolerance Exemptions with Insufficient
Data
The following provides the revocation
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
revocation status has been added to the
end of each tolerance exemption
expression. The expiration date of
August 9, 2009 applies to tolerance
exemption expressions with the
following at the end: ‘‘(Demonstration of
intent to support; revocation effective
August 9, 2009).’’ Tolerance exemption
expressions with ‘‘(No demonstration of
support; revocation effective August 9,
2008)’’ expire on August 9, 2008. In
addition, administrative revocation was
completed in the Federal Register on
August 9, 2006 (71 FR 45415) for seven
redundant and incorrect tolerance
exemptions, which are identified here
as ‘‘(Administrative revocation is
complete; revoked August 9, 2006)’’.
Two other revoked tolerance
exemptions received an acceptable
demonstration of support and the
effective date of the revocation is now
August 9, 2009. In the Federal Register
on August 9, 2006 (71 FR 45415), the
Agency revoked two inert ingredient
tolerance exemptions with insufficient
data under 40 CFR part 180. They were
inadvertently removed from the CFR
some time ago but are considered to be
active tolerance exemptions subject to
reassessment as required by the FFDCA
section 408(q). The effective date of the
revocation of the following two
tolerance exemptions is now August 9,
2009:
1. Section 180.910: ‘‘a-Alkyl(C12-C15)w- hydroxypoly(oxyethylene) sulfate,
ammonium, calcium, magnesium,
potassium, sodium, and zinc salts; the
poly(oxyethylene) content averages 3
moles.’’, and
2. Section 180.930: ‘‘a-Alkyl (C12-C15)w-hydroxypoly(oxyethylene) sulfate and
its ammonium, calcium, magnesium,
potassium, sodium, and zinc salts; the
poly(oxyethylene) content averages 3
moles.’’
C. Unsupported Inert Ingredient
Tolerance Exemptions
It is important to note that EPA has
not received indications of intent to
support many of the inert ingredient

tolerance exemptions revoked in the
Federal Register on August 9, 2006 (71
FR 45415). The unsupported tolerance
exemptions are identified in the list in
this Unit with ‘‘(No demonstration of
intent to support; revocation effective
August 9, 2008)’’ at the end of the
expression. No time extension is granted
for the revoked tolerance exemptions
where EPA has not received a
demonstration of intent to support,
therefore, the expiration date for those
tolerance exemptions with no indication
of intent to support remains August 9,
2008. Please note that this revocation
action only affects the use of these inert
ingredients in food-use pesticide
products, therefore, any current use of
these inert ingredients in non-food use
pesticide products is not affected.
At this time, EPA is no longer
accepting or processing applications for
registrations for food-use products
containing a tolerance exemption that
expires on August 9, 2008 unless
accompanied by a petition for a new
tolerance or exemption under the
Pesticide Registration Improvement
Renewal Act (PRIA 2), together with all
necessary supporting data. All
commodities containing residues of
these revoked inert ingredients on food
are adulterated under FFDCA 408 if the
residues are the result of applications of
pesticide products made after August 9,
2008. Registrants who submitted a
registration application for a food-use
formulation containing an inert
ingredient with an expiring tolerance
exemption may submit a new
application for registration with only
those inert ingredients that are approved
for the label’s use sites. If the
registration application is subject to,
including registration applications
submitted under PRIA 2 that include a
petition for a new or amended food-use
inert ingredient, the following Web site
provides useful information: https://
www.epa.gov/pesticides/fees/questions/
pria21day_wrksht.pdf. Currently
approved food-use inert ingredient
tolerance exemptions are found in 40
CFR part 180 (https://www.epa.gov/
opprd001/inerts/lists.html). Contact
EPA’s Inert Ingredient Assessment
Branch at inertsbranch@epa.gov for
information about how to establish a
new inert ingredient.

II. Background
A. Background on the Inert Ingredient Tolerance Exemption Revocation
Action
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). 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 on August 9, 2008. This
action did not preclude the possibility that through rulemaking EPA
could reinstate those tolerance exemptions for which data are submitted
that are sufficient to support the 408(c)(2) safety finding.
In the Federal Register of November 2, 2007, (72 FR 62232)(FRL-
8155-4), EPA published the support status of each of the revoked
tolerance exemptions. EPA had received communications from pesticide
registrants and inert ingredient manufacturers expressing interest in
supporting certain revoked inert ingredient tolerance exemptions. EPA's
guidance, available at https://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/, describes
how interested parties could demonstrate support for revoked tolerance
exemptions, including identifying test materials and contracts with
laboratories.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register is the final rule
that moves the effective date of the revocation to August 9, 2009 for
those tolerance exemptions where EPA has received a demonstration of
intent to support. No extensions are granted for revoked tolerance
exemptions where EPA has not received a demonstration of intent to
support, therefore, the revocation date for unsupported tolerance
exemptions remains August 9, 2008.
B. Effective Dates of the Revocation of Tolerance Exemptions with
Insufficient Data
The following provides the revocation 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 revocation status has been added to the end of each
tolerance exemption expression. The expiration date of August 9, 2009
applies to tolerance exemption expressions with the following at the
end: ``(Demonstration of intent to support; revocation effective August
9, 2009).'' Tolerance exemption expressions with ``(No demonstration of
support; revocation effective August 9, 2008)'' expire on August 9,
2008. In addition, administrative revocation was completed in the
Federal Register on August 9, 2006 (71 FR 45415) for seven redundant
and incorrect tolerance exemptions, which are identified here as
``(Administrative revocation is complete; revoked August 9, 2006)''.
Two other revoked tolerance exemptions received an acceptable
demonstration of support and the effective date of the revocation is
now August 9, 2009. In the Federal Register on August 9, 2006 (71 FR
45415), the Agency revoked two inert ingredient tolerance exemptions
with insufficient data under 40 CFR part 180. They were inadvertently
removed from the CFR some time ago but are considered to be active
tolerance exemptions subject to reassessment as required by the FFDCA
section 408(q). The effective date of the revocation of the following
two tolerance exemptions is now August 9, 2009:
1. Section 180.910: ``[alpha]-Alkyl(C12-C15)-
[omega]- hydroxypoly(oxyethylene) sulfate, ammonium, calcium,
magnesium, potassium, sodium, and zinc salts; the poly(oxyethylene)
content averages 3 moles.'', and
2. Section 180.930: ``[alpha]-Alkyl (C12-
C15)-[omega]-hydroxypoly(oxyethylene) sulfate and its
ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and zinc salts; the
poly(oxyethylene) content averages 3 moles.''
C. Unsupported Inert Ingredient Tolerance Exemptions
It is important to note that EPA has not received indications of
intent to support many of the inert ingredient
[[Page 45318]]
tolerance exemptions revoked in the Federal Register on August 9, 2006
(71 FR 45415). The unsupported tolerance exemptions are identified in
the list in this Unit with ``(No demonstration of intent to support;
revocation effective August 9, 2008)'' at the end of the expression. No
time extension is granted for the revoked tolerance exemptions where
EPA has not received a demonstration of intent to support, therefore,
the expiration date for those tolerance exemptions with no indication
of intent to support remains August 9, 2008. Please note that this
revocation action only affects the use of these inert ingredients in
food-use pesticide products, therefore, any current use of these inert
ingredients in non-food use pesticide products is not affected.
At this time, EPA is no longer accepting or processing applications
for registrations for food-use products containing a tolerance
exemption that expires on August 9, 2008 unless accompanied by a
petition for a new tolerance or exemption under the Pesticide
Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2), together with all
necessary supporting data. All commodities containing residues of these
revoked inert ingredients on food are adulterated under FFDCA 408 if
the residues are the result of applications of pesticide products made
after August 9, 2008. Registrants who submitted a registration
application for a food-use formulation containing an inert ingredient
with an expiring tolerance exemption may submit a new application for
registration with only those inert ingredients that are approved for
the label's use sites. If the registration application is subject to,
including registration applications submitted under PRIA 2 that include
a petition for a new or amended food-use inert ingredient, the
following Web site provides useful information: https://www.epa.gov/
pesticides/fees/questions/pria21day_wrksht.pdf. Currently approved
food-use inert ingredient tolerance exemptions are found in 40 CFR part
180 (https://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/lists.html). Contact EPA's
Inert Ingredient Assessment Branch at inertsbranch@epa.gov for
information about how to establish a new inert ingredient.
