Alcohols, C>14, Ethoxylated; Exemption From the Requirement of a 
Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation amends an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance for residues of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly 
(oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain 
contains a minimum of six carbons, and [alpha] alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the 
alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons and a minimum number 
average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 (herein referred to as ``AAAs'' 
(alkyl alcohol alkoxylates)) to include alcohols, C>14, 
ethoxylated, Chemical Abstract Service Registry Number (CAS Reg. No.) 
251553-55-6 when used as an inert ingredient (surfactant) in pesticide 
formulations. Baker Petrolite LLC submitted a petition to EPA under the 
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an amendment 
to an existing exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This 
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level 
for residues of alcohols, C>14, ethoxylated.

DATES: This regulation is effective June 13, 2016. Objections and 
requests for hearings must be received on or before August 12, 2016, 
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. Petition for Exemption

    In the Federal Register of August 5, 2009 (74 FR 38935) (FRL-8430-
1), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 
346a, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 9E7534) by The 
Joint Inerts Task Force (JITF), Cluster Support Team Number 1 (CST1), 
c/o CropLife America, 1156 15th Street NW., Suite 400, Washington, DC 
20005. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.910, 40 CFR 180.930, 40 
CFR 180.940(a), and 40 CFR 180.960 be amended by establishing 
exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of a group 
of substances known as AAAs. The exemptions narratively describe the 
subject chemical as [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) 
and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a 
minimum of six carbons and specify the individual chemicals covered by 
the exemptions by a listing of CAS Reg. Nos. The current petition seeks 
to expand these exemptions by adding an additional chemical, alcohols, 
C>14, ethoxylated, identified by CAS Reg. No. 251553-55-6.
    In the Federal Register of March 16, 2016 (81 FR 14032) (FRL- 9942-
86), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 
346A, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (IN-10889) by Baker 
Petrolite LLC (12645 W. Airport Blvd., Sugar Land, TX 77478). The 
petition requested

[[Page 38097]]

that 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 180.960 be amended by 
modifying the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for 
residues of AAAs by adding residues of alcohols, C>14, 
ethoxylated which meets the chemical identity [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the 
alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons. In cases where the 
minimum number average molecular weight is 1,100 or more, the request 
is to include the alcohols, C>14, ethoxylated under 40 CFR 
180.960. For lower the molecular weights the request is to amend the 
existing exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 
180.910, 180.930, and 180.940(a).
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has 
confirmed that the requested CAS Reg. No. is acceptable for 
consideration under the currently approved descriptor. This 
determination is based on the Agency's risk assessment which can be 
found at https://www.regulations.gov in document ``IN-10544. Requesting 
to Amend the Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance for [alpha]-
alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) 
polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons, and 
[alpha]-alkyl- [omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or 
poly(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of 
six carbons and a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) 
1,100, under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a) or 180.960.'' in 
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2013-2010.

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. Aggregate 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(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. . . .''
    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only 
in those cases where it can be clearly demonstrated 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(c)(2)(A), 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. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a 
determination on aggregate exposure for AAAs including exposure 
resulting from the exemption established by this action. EPA's 
assessment of exposures and risks associated with AAAs follows.
    The Agency agrees with the petitioner that alcohols, 
C>14, ethoxylated, CAS Reg. No. 251553-55-6, is an AAA 
having a molecular structure conforming to the chemical description 
given in the tolerance exemption expression, i.e., [alpha]-alkyl-
[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers 
where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons and which do 
not contain additional structural elements that are not included within 
the tolerance exemption expression description. In 2009, in 
establishing the exemption for the AAAs, EPA assessed their safety 
generally using worst case exposure assumptions. (August 5, 2009 (74 FR 
38935)). EPA concluded that that assessment showed that exempting the 
AAAs from the requirement from a tolerance would be safe. Inclusion of 
additional chemicals described above in the risk assessment for the 
AAAs would in no way alter that prior risk assessment given the generic 
findings on toxicity and the worst case exposure assumptions used in 
that risk assessment. Accordingly, based on the findings in that 
earlier rule, EPA has determined that there is a reasonable certainty 
that no harm to any population subgroup, including infants and 
children, will result from aggregate exposure to AAAs, by including the 
additional chemicals described above, under reasonably foreseeable 
circumstances. Therefore, the amendment of an exemption from the 
requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), 
and 180.960, for residues of AAAs to include the chemical described 
above is safe under FFDCA section 408.

V. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since 
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a 
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

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). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations 
Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food 
standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety 
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to

[[Page 38098]]

which the United States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that 
is different from a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) 
requires that EPA explain the reasons for departing from the Codex 
level.
    The Codex not established a MRL for AAAs.

C. Response to Comments

    No comments have been received.

VI. Conclusions

    Therefore, the exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance under 
40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 180.960 for [alpha]-alkyl-
[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers 
when used as an inert ingredient as a surfactant in pesticide 
formulations applied to growing crops, animals, or food contact 
surfaces are amended to add the CAS Reg. No. 251553-55-6 to the 
description of AAAs.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408(d) of 
FFDCA 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 final rule has been 
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule 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 final rule 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 section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance 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 final rule 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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 final rule. In addition, 
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any 
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4).
    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 of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (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).
