II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of April 15, 2020 (85 FR 20910) (FRL-10006-
54), 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 
9F8796) by BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Drive, P.O. Box 13528, Research 
Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709-3528. The petition requested that 
40 CFR 180.705 be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of 
the fungicide mefentrifluconazole, [alpha]-[4-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-
(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-[alpha]-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol, in 
or on berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G at 2 parts per million (ppm); 
bushberry, subgroup 13-07B at 5 ppm; caneberry, subgroup 13-07A at 3 
ppm; cattle, fat at 0.8 ppm; cattle, kidney at 0.6 ppm; cattle, liver 
at 1.5 ppm; cattle, meat at 0.07 ppm; cattle, meat byproducts at 1.5 
ppm; cotton, gin byproducts at 10 ppm; cottonseed subgroup 20C at 0.2 
ppm; egg at 0.01 ppm; goat, fat at 0.8 ppm; goat, kidney at 0.6 ppm; 
goat, liver at 1.5 ppm; goat, meat at 0.07 ppm; goat, meat byproducts 
at 1.5 ppm; grass, crop group 17, forage at 50 ppm; grass, crop group 
17, hay at 100 ppm; hog, fat at 0.02 ppm; hog, kidney at 0.03 ppm; hog, 
liver at 0.03 ppm; hog, meat at 0.01 ppm; hog, meat byproducts at 0.03 
ppm; horse, fat at 0.8 ppm; horse, kidney at 0.6 ppm; horse, liver at 
1.5 ppm; horse, meat at 0.07 ppm; horse, meat byproducts at 1.5 ppm; 
melon subgroup 9A at 0.5 ppm; milk at 0.09 ppm; milk fat at 2.4 ppm; 
non-grass animal feed, forage, crop group 18 at 15 ppm; non-grass 
animal feed, hay, crop group 18 at 40 ppm; onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A 
at 0.2 ppm; onion, green, subgroup 3-07B at 4 ppm; poultry, fat at 
0.015 ppm; poultry, liver at 0.01 ppm; poultry, meat

[[Page 70998]]

at 0.015 ppm; poultry, meat byproducts at 0.015 ppm; sheep, fat at 0.8 
ppm; sheep, kidney at 0.6 ppm; sheep, liver at 1.5 ppm; sheep, meat at 
0.07 ppm; sheep, meat byproducts at 1.5 ppm; squash/cucumber subgroup 
9B at 0.15 ppm; sugarcane, cane at 1.5 ppm; sunflower subgroup 20B at 
0.15 ppm; tomato, dried at 5 ppm; vegetable, leafy, except brassica, 
crop group 4-16 at 30 ppm; vegetables, fruiting, crop group 8-10 at 0.9 
ppm; vegetable, leaves of root and tuber, crop group 2 at 20 ppm; and 
vegetable, root, except sugar beet, subgroup 1B at 0.7 ppm. That 
document referenced a summary of the petition prepared by BASF 
Corporation, the registrant, which is available in the docket, https://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response to the 
notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA is 
establishing several tolerances at different levels than the 
petitioned-for tolerances and revised some commodity definitions. In 
addition, EPA is not establishing several tolerances that were 
petitioned-for. The reasons for these changes are explained in Unit 
IV.D.

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 in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), 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 mefentrifluconazole including 
exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action. 
EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with 
mefentrifluconazole follows.
    On June 28, 2019, EPA published in the Federal Register a final 
rule establishing tolerances for residues of mefentrifluconazole in or 
on many animal, corn, fruit, grain, nut and vegetable commodities based 
on the Agency's conclusion that aggregate exposure to 
mefentrifluconazole is safe for the general population, including 
infants and children. See (84 FR 30939) (FRL-9994-51). EPA is 
incorporating the following portions of that document by reference 
here, as they have not changed in the Agency's current assessment of 
mefentrifluconazole tolerances: The toxicological profile and points of 
departure, the cancer assessment, the conclusions about cumulative 
risk, and the Agency's determination regarding the children's safety 
factor. Additionally, EPA is incorporating the assumptions for exposure 
assessment from the June 28, 2019 final rule including the estimated 
drinking water concentrations, which have not changed except as 
explained in the following paragraph.
    EPA's dietary (food and drinking water) exposure assessments have 
been updated to include the additional exposure from the new uses of 
mefentrifluconazole on root and tuber vegetables (crop group 1B), 
leaves of root and tuber vegetables (crop group 2), leafy vegetables 
(crop group 4-16), fruiting vegetables (crop group 8-10), cucurbit 
vegetables (crop group 9), berries (subgroups 13-07A, 13-07B, and 13-
07G), grasses (crop group 17), non-grass animal feeds (crop group 18), 
sunflower (crop group 20B), and cotton (crop group 20C). EPA conducted 
an unrefined acute dietary (food and drinking water) exposure and risk 
assessment that incorporates tolerance-level residue values, 100% crop 
treated, and EPA's 2018 default processing factors. EPA conducted a 
partially refined chronic dietary (food and drinking water) exposure 
and risk assessment that incorporates 100% crop treated, empirical 
processing factors (when available), and average field trial residues 
for some commodities. As required under FFDCA 408(b)(2)(E), when EPA 
relies on anticipated residue data for supporting tolerances, EPA will 
require submission of data to demonstrate that the levels in food are 
not above the levels anticipated no later than 5 years from the date of 
issuance of these tolerances.
    Acute dietary (food and drinking water) risks are below the 
Agency's level of concern of 100% of the acute population-adjusted dose 
(aPAD): They are less than 5.4% of the aPAD for females 13 to 49 years 
old, the only population group of concern. Chronic dietary risks are 
below the Agency's level of concern of 100% of the chronic population-
adjusted dose (cPAD): They are less than 73% of the cPAD for children 1 
to 2 years old, the population subgroup with the highest exposure 
estimate.
    There are no handler or post-application residential exposures 
anticipated from the new uses of mefentrifluconazole. However, the 
currently registered use on golf courses will result in short-term (1 
to 30 days) residential post-application dermal exposures to adults, 
youth 11 to less than 16 years old, and children 6 to less than 11 
years old.
    For aggregate risk assessment, the acute and chronic aggregate risk 
assessments include dietary (food and drinking water) exposures only; 
therefore, the acute and chronic aggregate assessments are equivalent 
to the acute and chronic dietary assessments, respectively, and are not 
of concern. The short-term aggregate risk assessment includes 
residential exposures (golfing activities on previously treated turf) 
and average dietary exposures. The short-term aggregate margins of 
exposure (MOEs) for adults (830) and children (6 to less than 11 years 
old, 640) are not of concern because they exceed EPA's level of concern 
(MOEs less than 100). Therefore, there are no acute, chronic, or short-
term aggregate risk estimates of concern for mefentrifluconazole.
    Based on the information summarized in this unit and in the 
supporting risk assessment, 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 mefentrifluconazole 
residues. More detailed information can be found in the document titled 
``Mefentrifluconazole. Human Health Risk Assessment in Support of the 
Petition for the Establishment of Permanent Tolerances and Registration 
for Use on Root and Tuber Vegetables (Crop Group 1B); Leaves of Root 
and Tuber Vegetables (Crop Group 2); Leafy Vegetables (Crop Group 4-
16); Fruiting Vegetables (Crop Group 8-10); Cucurbit Vegetables (Crop 
Group 9); Berries (Subgroups 13-07A, 13-07B, and 13-07G), Grasses (Crop 
Group 17); Non-Grass Animal Feeds (Crop Group 18); Sunflower (Crop 
Group 20B); and Cotton (Crop Group 20C),'' dated October 9, 2020 in 
docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0068.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodologies are available to enforce the 
tolerance expression. Multi-residue method QuEChERS (BASF method L0295/
01) is the enforcement method for the determination of 
mefentrifluconazole residues in plant matrices. BASF Analytical Method 
No. L0272/01 is the enforcement method for the determination of 
residues of mefentrifluconazole in livestock commodities by liquid 
chromatography with tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS).
    The methods may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry 
Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 
20755-5350; telephone number: (410) 305-2905; email address: 
[email protected].

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 has not established MRLs for 
mefentrifluconazole.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances

    EPA revised the commodity definitions for animal feed, nongrass, 
group 18, forage; animal feed, nongrass, group 18, hay; grass, forage, 
fodder and hay, group 17, forage; grass, forage, fodder and hay, group 
17, hay; milk, fat; vegetable, leafy, group 4-16; vegetable, fruiting, 
group 8-10; and vegetable, leaves of root and tuber, group 2. In 
addition, EPA determined that separate tolerances were not needed for 
the petitioned-for commodities for cattle, kidney at 0.6 ppm; cattle, 
liver at 1.5 ppm; goat, kidney at 0.6 ppm; goat, liver at 1.5 ppm; hog, 
kidney at 0.03 ppm; hog, liver at 0.03 ppm; horse; kidney at 0.6 ppm; 
horse, liver at 1.5 ppm; poultry, liver at 0.01 ppm; sheep, kidney at 
0.6 ppm; and sheep, liver at 1.5 ppm because they are covered under 
their respective petitioned-for meat byproducts commodities.
    Both the petitioner and EPA used the Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD) maximum residue limit (MRL) 
calculation procedures; however, differences were noted in the process 
for inputting the data. The petitioner appears to have inputted 
individual sample values, whereas EPA used the field trial average 
values per the OECD standard operating procedure (SOP). The petitioner 
also appears to have combined the results of residue data from the 
individual crops in a crop group for calculation of the crop group 
tolerance, whereas EPA calculated values for each crop individually. 
Based on these differences, EPA is establishing the tolerances for 
animal feed, nongrass, group 18, hay at 30 ppm (instead of 40 ppm) and 
for squash/cucumber subgroup 9B at 0.2 ppm (instead of 0.15 ppm).
    For livestock commodities, both the petitioner and EPA used the 
Langmuir Model (ver. 1.4) to calculate all tolerance levels. In some 
cases, the values determined by EPA were higher than those determined 
by the petitioner. It is possible that the petitioner used average 
values from the livestock feeding studies, while the EPA used maximum 
values. Therefore, EPA determined the tolerances should be set at 
different levels for the following commodities (with the petitioned-for 
level in parentheses): Cattle, goat, horse and sheep, fat at 1 ppm (0.8 
ppm); cattle, goat, horse and sheep, meat at 0.15 ppm (0.07 ppm); hog, 
fat at 0.015 ppm (0.02 ppm); milk at 0.15 ppm (0.09 ppm); and milk, fat 
at 4 ppm (2.4 ppm).
    In addition, the tolerance for tomato, dried is being established 
at 4 ppm because EPA used the median processing factor while the 
petitioner proposed 5 ppm based on the average processing factor. 
Finally, EPA is setting a separate tolerance for lettuce, head at 5 ppm 
because it is more than 5 times less than the tolerance for vegetable, 
leafy, group 4-16 at 30 ppm.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of 
mefentrifluconazole, [alpha]-[4-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-
(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-[alpha]-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol, in 
or on Animal feed, nongrass, group 18, forage at 15 ppm; Animal feed, 
nongrass, group 18, hay at 30 ppm; Berry, low growing, subgroup 13-07G 
at 2 ppm; Bushberry, subgroup 13-07B at 5 ppm; Caneberry, subgroup 13-
07A at 3 ppm; Cotton, gin byproducts at 10 ppm; Cottonseed subgroup 20C 
at 0.2 ppm; Grass, forage, fodder and hay, group 17, forage at 50 ppm; 
Grass, forage, fodder and hay, group 17, hay at 100 ppm; Lettuce, head 
at 5 ppm; Melon subgroup 9A at 0.5 ppm; Onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A at 
0.2 ppm; Onion, green, subgroup 3-07B at 4 ppm; Squash/cucumber 
subgroup 9B at 0.2 ppm, Sugarcane, cane at 1.5 ppm; Sunflower subgroup 
20B at 0.15 ppm; Tomato, dried at 4 ppm; Vegetable, fruiting, group 8-
10 at 0.9 ppm; Vegetable, leafy, group 4-16, except head lettuce at 30 
ppm; Vegetable, leaves of root and tuber, group 2 at 20 ppm; Vegetable, 
root, except sugar beet, subgroup 1B at 0.7 ppm.
    In addition, EPA is revising the tolerances for residues of 
mefentrifluconazole, [alpha]-[4-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-
(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-[alpha]-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol, in 
or on Cattle, fat at 1 ppm; Cattle, meat at 0.15 ppm; Cattle, meat 
byproducts at 1.5 ppm; Egg at 0.01 ppm; Goat, fat at 1 ppm; Goat, meat 
at 0.15 ppm; Goat, meat byproducts at 1.5 ppm; Hog, fat at 0.015 ppm; 
Hog, meat at 0.01 ppm; Hog, meat byproducts at 0.03 ppm; Horse, fat at 
1 ppm; Horse, meat at 0.15 ppm; Horse, meat byproducts at 1.5 ppm; Milk 
at 0.15 ppm; Milk, fat at 4 ppm; Poultry, fat at 0.015 ppm; Poultry, 
meat at 0.015 ppm; Poultry, meat byproducts at 0.015 ppm; Sheep, fat at 
1 ppm; Sheep, meat at 0.15 ppm; and Sheep, meat byproducts at 1.5 ppm.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408(d) in 
response to petitions 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), nor is it considered a regulatory action under 
Executive Order 13771, entitled ``Reducing Regulations and Controlling 
Regulatory Costs'' (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017). 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).

[[Page 71000]]

    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).
