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(c)(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. When making a
safety determination for an exemption
for the requirement of a tolerance
FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B) directs EPA
to consider the considerations in section
408(b)(2)(C) and (D). 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
E:\FR\FM\01MRR1.SGM
01MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 42 / Friday, March 1, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue. . . .’’ Section
408(b)(2)(D) lists other factors for EPA
consideration making safety
determinations, e.g., the validity,
completeness, and reliability of
available data, nature of toxic effects,
available information concerning the
cumulative effects of the pesticide
chemical and other substances with a
common mechanism of toxicity, and
available information concerning
aggregate exposure levels to the
pesticide chemical and other related
substances, among others.
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
harm 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 the various
fragrance components identified in Unit
II of this document, including exposure
resulting from the exemptions
established by this action. EPA’s
assessment of exposures and risks
associated with these various fragrance
components follows.
A. Toxicological Profile
EPA has evaluated the available
toxicity data and considered their
validity, completeness, and reliability as
well as the relationship of the results of
the studies to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information
concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable
subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children. Specific
information on the studies received and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:31 Feb 29, 2024
Jkt 262001
the nature of the adverse effects caused
by various fragrance components
identified in Unit II, as well as the noobserved-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL)
and the lowest-observed-adverse-effectlevel (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies
are discussed in this unit.
The Agency assessed these fragrance
components via the Threshold of
Toxicological Concern (TTC) approach
as outlined by the European Food Safety
Authority (EFSA) in their 2019 guidance
document on the use of TTC in food
safety assessment. Information regarding
the database of studies and chemicals
used to derive TTCs are reviewed
therein. The TTC approach has been
used by the Joint Expert Committee on
Food Additives of the United Nations’
(U.N.) Food and Agriculture
Organization and the World Health
Organization (JECFA), the former
Scientific Committee on Food of the
European Commission, the European
Medicines Agency, and EFSA.
Information from JECFA reports as
well as predictive toxicology using the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) Quantitative
Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR)
Toolbox was used to confirm that the
fragrances listed in Unit II have low
carcinogenic potential and are thus good
candidates for the application of the
TTC method. Although 24 chemicals
had in silico carcinogenicity alerts,
JECFA concluded and EPA concurs that
all fragrances listed in Unit II have low
carcinogenic potential, based on in vitro
and/or in vivo genotoxicity studies
available on the chemical or structurally
related chemicals. Therefore, the TTC
method can be applied to these
fragrances.
TTCs are derived from a conservative
and rigorous approach to establish
generic threshold values for human
exposure at which a very low
probability of adverse effects is likely.
By comparing a range of compounds by
Cramer Class (classes I, II, and III which
correspond to the probability of low,
moderate and high toxicity) and NOEL
(no-observed-effect-level), fifth
percentile NOELs were established for
each Cramer Class as ‘‘Human Exposure
Thresholds’’. These values were 3, 0.91
and 0.15 mg/kg/day for classes I, II, and
III, respectively.
B. Toxicological Points of Departure/
Levels of Concern
Once a pesticide’s toxicological
profile is determined, EPA identifies
toxicological points of departure (POD)
and levels of concern to use in
evaluating the risk posed by human
exposure to the pesticide. For hazards
that have a threshold below which there
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
15049
is no appreciable risk, the toxicological
POD is used as the basis for derivation
of reference values for risk assessment.
PODs are developed based on a careful
analysis of the doses in each
toxicological study to determine the
dose at which no adverse effects are
observed (the NOAEL) and the lowest
dose at which adverse effects of concern
are identified (the LOAEL). Uncertainty/
safety factors are used in conjunction
with the POD to calculate a safe
exposure level—generally referred to as
a population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a
reference dose (RfD)—and a safe margin
of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold
risks, the Agency assumes that any
amount of exposure will lead to some
degree of risk. Thus, the Agency
estimates risk in terms of the probability
of an occurrence of the adverse effect
expected in a lifetime. For more
information on the general principles
EPA uses in risk characterization and a
complete description of the risk
assessment process, see https://
www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-andassessing-pesticide-risks/overview-riskassessment-pesticide-program.
The human exposure threshold value
for threshold (i.e., non-cancer) risks is
based upon Cramer structural class. All
of the fragrance components listed in
Unit II are in Cramer Class I, which is
defined as chemicals of simple structure
and efficient modes of metabolism,
suggesting low oral toxicity. Therefore,
the NOEL of 3 mg/kg/day is selected as
the point of departure for all exposure
scenarios assessed (chronic dietary,
incidental oral, dermal and inhalation
exposures).
C. Exposure Assessment
1. Dietary exposure. In evaluating
dietary exposure to each of the fragrance
components listed in Unit II (e.g.,
ingesting foods that come in contact
with surfaces treated with pesticide
formulations containing these fragrance
components, and drinking water
exposures), EPA considered exposure
under the proposed exemptions at a
concentration not to exceed 100 ppm for
each of the listed fragrance components
as well as any other sources of dietary
exposure. EPA assessed dietary
exposures from the fragrance
components listed in Unit II in food as
follows:
The dietary assessment for food
contact sanitizer solutions calculated
the Daily Dietary Dose (DDD) and the
Estimated Daily Intake (EDI). The
assessment considered application rates,
residual solution or quantity of solution
remaining on the treated surface
without rinsing with potable water,
surface area of the treated surface which
E:\FR\FM\01MRR1.SGM
01MRR1
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
15050
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 42 / Friday, March 1, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
comes into contact with food, pesticide
migration fraction, and body weight.
These assumptions are based on U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
guidelines.
2. From non-dietary exposure. The
term ‘‘residential exposure’’ is used in
this document to refer to nonoccupational, non-dietary exposure
(e.g., textiles (clothing and diapers),
carpets, swimming pools, and hard
surface disinfection on walls, floors,
tables).
The fragrance components listed in
Unit II may be used as inert ingredients
in products that are registered for
specific uses that may result in
residential exposure, such as pesticides
used in and around the home. The
Agency conducted a conservative
assessment of potential residential
exposure by assessing various fragrance
components in disinfectant-type uses
(indoor scenarios). The Agency’s
assessment of adult residential exposure
combines high-end dermal and
inhalation handler exposure from
indoor hard surface, wiping, and aerosol
spray uses. The Agency’s assessment of
children’s residential exposure includes
total post-application exposures
associated with contact with treated
indoor surfaces (dermal and hand-tomouth exposures).
3. Cumulative effects from substances
with a common mechanism of toxicity.
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.’’
EPA has not found the fragrance
components listed in Unit II to share a
common mechanism of toxicity with
any other substances, nor do they
appear to produce a toxic metabolite
produced by other substances. For the
purposes of the tolerance exemptions
established in this rule, therefore, EPA
has assumed that the fragrance
components listed in Unit II do not have
common mechanisms of toxicity with
other substances. For information
regarding EPA’s efforts to determine
which chemicals have a common
mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate
the cumulative effects of such
chemicals, see EPA’s website at https://
www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-andassessing-pesticide-risks/cumulativeassessment-risk-pesticides.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:31 Feb 29, 2024
Jkt 262001
D. Additional Safety Factor for the
Protection of Infants and Children
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA
provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety
for infants and children in the case of
threshold effects to account for prenatal
and postnatal toxicity and the
completeness of the database on toxicity
and exposure unless EPA determines
based on reliable data that a different
margin of safety will be safe for infants
and children. This additional margin of
safety is commonly referred to as the
Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA)
Safety Factor (SF). In applying this
provision, EPA either retains the default
value of 10X, or uses a different
additional safety factor when reliable
data available to EPA support the choice
of a different factor.
The FQPA SF has been reduced to 1X
in this risk assessment because clear
NOELs and LOELs were established in
the studies used to derive the endpoints
(which included developmental and
reproductive toxicity studies), maternal
and developmental-specific 5th
percentile NOELs indicate low potential
for offspring susceptibility, and the
conservative assumptions made in the
exposure assessment are unlikely to
underestimate risk.
E. 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 PAD (aPAD) and
chronic PAD (cPAD). For linear cancer
risks, EPA calculates the lifetime
probability of acquiring cancer given the
estimated aggregate exposure. Short-,
intermediate-, and chronic-term risks
are evaluated by comparing the
estimated aggregate food, water, and
residential exposure to the appropriate
PODs to ensure that an adequate MOE
exists.
1. Acute aggregate risk. An acute
aggregate risk assessment takes into
account acute exposure estimates from
dietary consumption of food and
drinking water. No adverse effects
resulting from a single oral exposure
were identified and no acute dietary
endpoint was selected for any of the
fragrance components listed in Unit II.
Therefore, these fragrance components
are not expected to pose an acute risk.
2. Short-term aggregate risk. Shortterm aggregate exposure takes into
account short-term residential exposure
plus chronic exposure to food and water
(considered to be a background
exposure level). For residential handler
short-term exposure scenarios, MOEs
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
ranged from 140 to 2,500, while for
residential post-application exposure
scenarios, MOEs ranged from 380 to
7,400. These MOEs are greater than the
level of concern (LOC) of 100 and
therefore are not of concern. The shortterm aggregate MOE is 109 for adults
and 135 for children, which are greater
than the LOC of 100 and therefore are
not of concern.
3. Intermediate-term aggregate risk.
Intermediate-term aggregate exposure
takes into account intermediate-term
residential (dermal and inhalation)
exposure plus chronic dietary exposure
(food and drinking water). As the same
endpoints were selected for short-term
and intermediate-term exposures,
intermediate-term aggregate risk is equal
to the short-term aggregate risk, and it
is not of concern.
4. Chronic aggregate risk. Using the
exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has
concluded that chronic exposure to the
fragrance components listed in Unit II
from food and water will utilize 19% of
the cPAD for the U.S. population and
48% of the cPAD for children 1 to 2
years old, the population group
receiving the greatest exposure. Chronic
residential exposure to residues of these
fragrance components is not expected.
Therefore, the chronic aggregate risk is
equal to the chronic dietary exposure for
children 1 to 2 years old (48% of the
cPAD).
5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S.
population. There is low concern for
genotoxicity/carcinogenicity in humans
for the fragrance components listed in
Unit II of this document. Therefore, the
assessment under the TTC value for
non-cancer risks is protective for all
risks, including carcinogenicity.
6. Determination of safety. Based on
these risk assessments, EPA concludes
that there is a reasonable certainty that
no harm will result to the general
population, or to infants and children,
from aggregate exposure to residues of
the fragrance components listed in Unit
II.
V. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
An analytical method is not required
for enforcement purposes since the
Agency is not establishing a numerical
tolerance for residues of the fragrance
components listed in Unit II of this
document in or on any food
commodities. EPA is, however,
establishing limitations on the amount
of these fragrance components that may
be used in antimicrobial pesticide
formulations. These limitations will be
enforced through the pesticide
E:\FR\FM\01MRR1.SGM
01MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 42 / Friday, March 1, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
registration process under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (‘‘FIFRA’’), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. EPA
will not register any pesticide
formulation for food use that contains
these fragrance components in excess of
100 ppm in the final pesticide
formulation.
B. Revisions to Petitioned-For
Tolerances
The Agency is not establishing
tolerance exemptions for the following
fragrance ingredients because they were
withdrawn by the petitioner: 2Cyclohexen-1-one, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl6-(1-methylethyl)- (CAS Reg. No. 490–
03–9); b-Naphthyl anthranilate (CAS
Reg. No. 63449–68–3); p-Cresol (CAS
Reg. No. 106–44–5); A-1-(2,6,6Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-buten-1one (CAS Reg. No. 43052–87–5).
EPA is also not finalizing exemptions
for the following ingredients because
they were already approved for use
under 40 CFR 180.940(a): 2-Propanol
(CAS Reg. No. 67–63–0); Benzaldehyde,
4-hydroxy-3-methoxy- (CAS Reg. No.
121–33–5); Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, 6,6dimethyl-2-methylene- (CAS Reg. No.
127–91–3); Cinnamic aldehyde (CAS
Reg. No. 104–55–2 & 14371–10–9); dLimonene (CAS Reg. No. 5989–27–5);
Isobornyl acetate (CAS Reg. No. 125–
12–2); Methyl salicylate (CAS Reg. No.
119–36–8); Phenol, 2-methoxy-4-(2propenyl)- (CAS Reg. No. 97–53–0);
Phenyl ethyl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 60–
12–8); Thymol (8CA) (CAS Reg. No. 89–
83–8); a-Pinene (CAS Reg. No. 80–56–
8); b-Caryophyllene (CAS Reg. No. 87–
44–5).

VI. Conclusions
Therefore, an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance is established
for residues of various fragrance
components listed in Unit II of this
document when used as an inert
ingredient (fragrance component) in
pesticide formulations applied to foodcontact surfaces in public eating places,
dairy-processing equipment, and foodprocessing equipment and utensils with
an end-use concentration not to exceed
100 ppm under 40 CFR 180.940(a).
VII. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action establishes exemptions
from the requirement of a tolerance
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:31 Feb 29, 2024
Jkt 262001
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). 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 exemptions 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).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 180
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0295; FRL-11719-01-OCSPP]
Various Fragrance Components in Pesticide Formulations; Tolerance
Exemption
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes exemptions from the requirement of
a tolerance for residues of various fragrance components listed in Unit
II of this document when they are used as inert ingredients in
antimicrobial formulations applied to food-contact surfaces in public
eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing
equipment and utensils when the end-use concentration does not exceed
100 parts per million (ppm). Innovative Reform Group, on behalf of The
Clorox Company, submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting establishment of an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation
eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of various fragrance components, when used in accordance with
the terms of those exemptions.
DATES: This regulation is effective March 1, 2024. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before April 30, 2024 and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0295, is available at

notice of filing.
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(c)(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. When making a safety determination for an
exemption for the requirement of a tolerance FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B)
directs EPA to consider the considerations in section 408(b)(2)(C) and
(D). 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
[[Page 15049]]
result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue. . . .'' Section 408(b)(2)(D) lists other factors for
EPA consideration making safety determinations, e.g., the validity,
completeness, and reliability of available data, nature of toxic
effects, available information concerning the cumulative effects of the
pesticide chemical and other substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity, and available information concerning aggregate exposure
levels to the pesticide chemical and other related substances, among
others.
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 harm 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 the various fragrance
components identified in Unit II of this document, including exposure
resulting from the exemptions established by this action. EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks associated with these various
fragrance components follows.
A. Toxicological Profile
EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered their
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered
available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities
of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and
children. Specific information on the studies received and the nature
of the adverse effects caused by various fragrance components
identified in Unit II, as well as the no-observed-adverse-effect-level
(NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the
toxicity studies are discussed in this unit.
The Agency assessed these fragrance components via the Threshold of
Toxicological Concern (TTC) approach as outlined by the European Food
Safety Authority (EFSA) in their 2019 guidance document on the use of
TTC in food safety assessment. Information regarding the database of
studies and chemicals used to derive TTCs are reviewed therein. The TTC
approach has been used by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives
of the United Nations' (U.N.) Food and Agriculture Organization and the
World Health Organization (JECFA), the former Scientific Committee on
Food of the European Commission, the European Medicines Agency, and
EFSA.
Information from JECFA reports as well as predictive toxicology
using the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) Toolbox was used
to confirm that the fragrances listed in Unit II have low carcinogenic
potential and are thus good candidates for the application of the TTC
method. Although 24 chemicals had in silico carcinogenicity alerts,
JECFA concluded and EPA concurs that all fragrances listed in Unit II
have low carcinogenic potential, based on in vitro and/or in vivo
genotoxicity studies available on the chemical or structurally related
chemicals. Therefore, the TTC method can be applied to these
fragrances.
TTCs are derived from a conservative and rigorous approach to
establish generic threshold values for human exposure at which a very
low probability of adverse effects is likely. By comparing a range of
compounds by Cramer Class (classes I, II, and III which correspond to
the probability of low, moderate and high toxicity) and NOEL (no-
observed-effect-level), fifth percentile NOELs were established for
each Cramer Class as ``Human Exposure Thresholds''. These values were
3, 0.91 and 0.15 mg/kg/day for classes I, II, and III, respectively.
B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern
Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to
determine the dose at which no adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL)
and the lowest dose at which adverse effects of concern are identified
(the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are used in conjunction with
the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--generally referred to as a
population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe
margin of exposure (MOE). For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes
that any amount of exposure will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the
Agency estimates risk in terms of the probability of an occurrence of
the adverse effect expected in a lifetime. For more information on the
general principles EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete
description of the risk assessment process, see https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/overview-risk-assessment-pesticide-program.
The human exposure threshold value for threshold (i.e., non-cancer)
risks is based upon Cramer structural class. All of the fragrance
components listed in Unit II are in Cramer Class I, which is defined as
chemicals of simple structure and efficient modes of metabolism,
suggesting low oral toxicity. Therefore, the NOEL of 3 mg/kg/day is
selected as the point of departure for all exposure scenarios assessed
(chronic dietary, incidental oral, dermal and inhalation exposures).
C. Exposure Assessment
1. Dietary exposure. In evaluating dietary exposure to each of the
fragrance components listed in Unit II (e.g., ingesting foods that come
in contact with surfaces treated with pesticide formulations containing
these fragrance components, and drinking water exposures), EPA
considered exposure under the proposed exemptions at a concentration
not to exceed 100 ppm for each of the listed fragrance components as
well as any other sources of dietary exposure. EPA assessed dietary
exposures from the fragrance components listed in Unit II in food as
follows:
The dietary assessment for food contact sanitizer solutions
calculated the Daily Dietary Dose (DDD) and the Estimated Daily Intake
(EDI). The assessment considered application rates, residual solution
or quantity of solution remaining on the treated surface without
rinsing with potable water, surface area of the treated surface which
[[Page 15050]]
comes into contact with food, pesticide migration fraction, and body
weight. These assumptions are based on U.S. Food and Drug
Administration guidelines.
2. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary
exposure (e.g., textiles (clothing and diapers), carpets, swimming
pools, and hard surface disinfection on walls, floors, tables).
The fragrance components listed in Unit II may be used as inert
ingredients in products that are registered for specific uses that may
result in residential exposure, such as pesticides used in and around
the home. The Agency conducted a conservative assessment of potential
residential exposure by assessing various fragrance components in
disinfectant-type uses (indoor scenarios). The Agency's assessment of
adult residential exposure combines high-end dermal and inhalation
handler exposure from indoor hard surface, wiping, and aerosol spray
uses. The Agency's assessment of children's residential exposure
includes total post-application exposures associated with contact with
treated indoor surfaces (dermal and hand-to-mouth exposures).
3. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity. 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.''
EPA has not found the fragrance components listed in Unit II to
share a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substances, nor do
they appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances.
For the purposes of the tolerance exemptions established in this rule,
therefore, EPA has assumed that the fragrance components listed in Unit
II do not have common mechanisms of toxicity with other substances. For
information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which chemicals have a
common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of
such chemicals, see EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/cumulative-assessment-risk-pesticides.
D. Additional Safety Factor for the Protection of Infants and Children
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants and children in
the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal
toxicity and the completeness of the database on toxicity and exposure
unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a different margin of
safety will be safe for infants and children. This additional margin of
safety is commonly referred to as the Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA) Safety Factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either
retains the default value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety
factor when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a
different factor.
The FQPA SF has been reduced to 1X in this risk assessment because
clear NOELs and LOELs were established in the studies used to derive
the endpoints (which included developmental and reproductive toxicity
studies), maternal and developmental-specific 5th percentile NOELs
indicate low potential for offspring susceptibility, and the
conservative assumptions made in the exposure assessment are unlikely
to underestimate risk.
E. 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 PAD (aPAD) and chronic PAD (cPAD). For linear cancer risks, EPA
calculates the lifetime probability of acquiring cancer given the
estimated aggregate exposure. Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term
risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate food, water,
and residential exposure to the appropriate PODs to ensure that an
adequate MOE exists.
1. Acute aggregate risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes
into account acute exposure estimates from dietary consumption of food
and drinking water. No adverse effects resulting from a single oral
exposure were identified and no acute dietary endpoint was selected for
any of the fragrance components listed in Unit II. Therefore, these
fragrance components are not expected to pose an acute risk.
2. Short-term aggregate risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes
into account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to
food and water (considered to be a background exposure level). For
residential handler short-term exposure scenarios, MOEs ranged from 140
to 2,500, while for residential post-application exposure scenarios,
MOEs ranged from 380 to 7,400. These MOEs are greater than the level of
concern (LOC) of 100 and therefore are not of concern. The short-term
aggregate MOE is 109 for adults and 135 for children, which are greater
than the LOC of 100 and therefore are not of concern.
3. Intermediate-term aggregate risk. Intermediate-term aggregate
exposure takes into account intermediate-term residential (dermal and
inhalation) exposure plus chronic dietary exposure (food and drinking
water). As the same endpoints were selected for short-term and
intermediate-term exposures, intermediate-term aggregate risk is equal
to the short-term aggregate risk, and it is not of concern.
4. Chronic aggregate risk. Using the exposure assumptions described
in this unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic
exposure to the fragrance components listed in Unit II from food and
water will utilize 19% of the cPAD for the U.S. population and 48% of
the cPAD for children 1 to 2 years old, the population group receiving
the greatest exposure. Chronic residential exposure to residues of
these fragrance components is not expected. Therefore, the chronic
aggregate risk is equal to the chronic dietary exposure for children 1
to 2 years old (48% of the cPAD).
5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. There is low concern
for genotoxicity/carcinogenicity in humans for the fragrance components
listed in Unit II of this document. Therefore, the assessment under the
TTC value for non-cancer risks is protective for all risks, including
carcinogenicity.
6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the general population, or to infants and children, from aggregate
exposure to residues of the fragrance components listed in Unit II.
V. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is not establishing a numerical tolerance for residues of
the fragrance components listed in Unit II of this document in or on
any food commodities. EPA is, however, establishing limitations on the
amount of these fragrance components that may be used in antimicrobial
pesticide formulations. These limitations will be enforced through the
pesticide
[[Page 15051]]
registration process under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (``FIFRA''), 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. EPA will not register
any pesticide formulation for food use that contains these fragrance
components in excess of 100 ppm in the final pesticide formulation.
B. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances
The Agency is not establishing tolerance exemptions for the
following fragrance ingredients because they were withdrawn by the
petitioner: 2-Cyclohexen-1-one, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-6-(1-methylethyl)-
(CAS Reg. No. 490-03-9); [beta]-Naphthyl anthranilate (CAS Reg. No.
63449-68-3); p-Cresol (CAS Reg. No. 106-44-5); [Agr]-1-(2,6,6-
Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-buten-1-one (CAS Reg. No. 43052-87-5).
EPA is also not finalizing exemptions for the following ingredients
because they were already approved for use under 40 CFR 180.940(a): 2-
Propanol (CAS Reg. No. 67-63-0); Benzaldehyde, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-
(CAS Reg. No. 121-33-5); Bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane, 6,6-dimethyl-2-
methylene- (CAS Reg. No. 127-91-3); Cinnamic aldehyde (CAS Reg. No.
104-55-2 & 14371-10-9); d-Limonene (CAS Reg. No. 5989-27-5); Isobornyl
acetate (CAS Reg. No. 125-12-2); Methyl salicylate (CAS Reg. No. 119-
36-8); Phenol, 2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)- (CAS Reg. No. 97-53-0); Phenyl
ethyl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 60-12-8); Thymol (8CA) (CAS Reg. No. 89-83-
8); [alpha]-Pinene (CAS Reg. No. 80-56-8); [beta]-Caryophyllene (CAS
Reg. No. 87-44-5).
VI. Conclusions
Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is
established for residues of various fragrance components listed in Unit
II of this document when used as an inert ingredient (fragrance
component) in pesticide formulations applied to food-contact surfaces
in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-
processing equipment and utensils with an end-use concentration not to
exceed 100 ppm under 40 CFR 180.940(a).
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This action establishes exemptions from the requirement of a
tolerance 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 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 exemptions 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).
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).
