Pesticide Tolerances; Revision of Crop Groups

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is revising pesticide tolerance crop-grouping regulations 
to create new crop subgroups, expand existing crop groups by adding new 
commodities, and revise the representative crops in some groups. EPA 
expects these revisions to promote greater use of crop grouping for 
tolerance-setting purposes and to facilitate availability of pesticides 
for minor crop uses. EPA initiated these regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This regulation becomes effective May 17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written objections and hearing requests, identified by the 
document control number, [OPP-300269A], may be submitted to: Hearing 
Clerk (1900), Environmental Protection Agency, Rm. M3708, 401 M St.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The crop grouping regulations currently in 40 CFR 180.34(f) enable 
the establishment of tolerances for a group of crops based on residue 
data for certain crops that are representative of the group. EPA issued 
a proposed rule, published in the Federal Register of August 25, 1993 
(58 FR 44990), under the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), which proposed to revise the crop grouping 
regulations primarily by adding subgroups to 8 of the 19 existing crop 
groups. Each subgroup is a smaller and more closely related grouping of 
the commodities included in the ``parent'' crop group, and the 
representative commodities for each subgroup are also a smaller subset 
of those for the parent group. In addition, EPA proposed to add new 
commodities to expand some of the existing crop groups, and to revise 
representative crops for some crop groups to provide petitioners more 
flexibility in obtaining supporting residue data. EPA also proposed to 
add an alphabetical listing of commodities with cross-references to the 
assigned crop groups as an Index to Commodities in the Finding Aids 
section at the end of title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR), parts 150 to 189. This action is intended to promote more 
extensive use of crop group tolerances as part of the EPA's efforts to 
improve utilization of existing and new residue data. Written comments 
were solicited and were received from more than 22 interested parties 
and groups in response to the proposal. Comments were received from the 
pesticide industry, State pesticide regulatory authorities, 
agricultural grower and marketing organizations, and the Interregional 
Research Project No. 4 (IR-4). All of these comments have been reviewed 
and are on file with the Agency in the Public Response and Program 
Resources Branch at the address provided above. All of the comments 
were supportive of the proposal in concept, but some comments wanted 
modifications to the proposal. Most comments were substantially 
satisfied by editorial changes and deletions from or additions to the 
proposal. Comments of significance and changes to the rule, as 
previously proposed, are discussed by topic in succeeding units of this 
preamble.

II. General Revisions

A. Requirements for New Residue Data When There Are Existing Tolerances

    A commenter recommended that, where representative crops are 
removed from some crop groups by this revision, a way should be found 
to maintain established crop group tolerances without requiring 
additional residue data. The Agency expects that residue data from the 
remaining representative commodities should provide sufficient support 
for the existing crop group tolerances. Also, available data which 
previously supported the removed representative crop can still be 
considered in support of the group tolerance, whether or not that 
commodity is currently included as a representative commodity. However, 
all existing tolerances will be subject to reassessment as part of the 
reregistration program.
    The crop group most affected by the removal of representative 
commodities is the previous small fruits and berries crop group which 
has been amended to become the new berries crop group, with the removal 
of cranberries, grapes, and strawberries from the group. Cranberries, 
grapes, and strawberries have been removed from the crop group since 
their cultural practices and residue chemistry concerns are distinct 
enough from the other small fruits and berries to have been an 
impediment to registrants who might have sought a crop group tolerance. 
Residue data will still be required to support tolerances for any of 
these three commodities, which have been included in the listing of 
miscellaneous crops in 40 CFR 180.41(b).
    Only one tolerance for the small fruits and berries group has been 
established since 1983. However, some tolerances were established for a 
small fruits crop group which existed before the small fruits and 
berries crop group was established in 1983, and before specific 
representative commodities were named [[Page 26627]] in the crop 
grouping regulations. There are also a substantial number of tolerances 
for pre-1983 crop groups other than small fruits. All of the existing 
crop group tolerances will continue in effect until the pesticides 
undergo the reregistration process or a petition is submitted 
requesting conversion to a new crop group or subgroup. At that time, 
consideration will be given to setting individual tolerances for any 
commodities covered by the old crop group tolerance that are not 
supportable under the new regulations.

B. Addition of Crops

    EPA has accepted several suggestions to add certain commodities to 
the crop groupings, which were proposed in the Federal Register of 
August 25, 1993. Comments requesting additions to the crop groupings 
and revisions to the crop group tables, as were previously proposed, 
are discussed in unit III. of this preamble under specific crop group 
headings.
    Future changes to the crop group tables or other portions of 
Sec. 180.40 or Sec. 180.41 will be subject to notice-and-comment 
rulemaking procedures, except for technical amendments to the tables, 
e.g., to update the scientific nomenclature, or to add a new cultivar 
of a commodity that is already listed. Minor technical amendments to 
Secs. 180.40 and 180.41 will be made by publication of a final rule.

C. Representative Commodities

    There are no changes to the representative commodities, as 
proposed, with the exception of editorial revisions to several crop 
groupings to clearly identify the commodities for which residue data 
are required. Several commenters suggested the deletion or substitution 
of representative commodities for certain crop groupings. These 
comments and the editorial revisions to the representative commodities 
are discussed in unit III of this preamble under specific crop group 
headings.

D. Regional/Common Names for Commodities

    In response to a request that efforts should be made to incorporate 
additional regional commodity names in the crop groupings, a number of 
common names have been added to the Index to Commodities, with 
references to the commodity name as it is listed in the crop group. 
Additional regional/common names will be added to the Index as 
warranted with references to the commodity as it is named in the crop 
group tables. In order not to lengthen the crop group tables 
unnecessarily, new common names will be added only to the Index.

E. Miscellaneous Commodities

    Some suggestions were made to list in the commodity index crops not 
included in a crop grouping. However, the commodity index is intended 
to complement the crop group tables, rather than be a comprehensive 
listing of all commodities with tolerances. Some of the ungrouped crops 
may be considered for inclusion in a crop grouping at a future date, at 
which time they will be added to the index. Crops that were 
intentionally not included in any groups were listed previously in 
Sec. 180.34(f)(7); such miscellaneous commodities are now listed in 
Sec. 180.41(b).

III. Specific Revisions to Crop Groups

    1. Crop Group 1. Root and tuber vegetables group. In the crop group 
listing, the designation edible canna (Queensland arrowroot) replaces 
purple arrowroot, oriental radish replaces Japanese radish, and yam 
bean has been expanded to include jicama and manioc pea.
    In response to a request, chayote root has been added to the root 
and tuber vegetables group and to subgroups 1-C (tuberous and corm 
vegetables) and 1-D (tuberous and corm vegetables, except potato).
    Chicory, grown for its roots and leaves, has not been expanded to 
include witloof chicory (or the common names French endive and Belgian 
endive) because of the likelihood of confusion due to chicory root 
being included in crop group 1, chicory leaves being included in crop 
group 2, and endive being included in crop group 4. Cultural practices 
associated with witloof chicory production also differ from the 
production of chicory leaves and endive. Witloof chicory is produced 
from chicory roots, which are transplanted from the field to indoor 
growth chambers, where the edible compact head of blanched leaves is 
``forced'' from the root.
    2. Crop Group 2. Leaves of root and tuber vegetables (human food or 
animal feed) group. In the crop group listing, the designation Japanese 
radish was changed to oriental radish.
    A commenter requested that the common names French endive, Belgian 
endive, and witloof be added to the chicory entry in the leaves of root 
and tuber vegetables crop group. For the reasons given for crop group 1 
above, these common names have not been added to the crop group or to 
the Index to Commodities.
    3. Crop Group 3. Bulb vegetables (Allium spp.) group. The 
representative commodities for the bulb vegetables (Allium spp.) group 
are listed clearly as two separate commodities--onion, green and onion, 
dry bulb--to clarify that residue data are required for both green and 
dry bulb onions.
    4. Crop Group 4. Leafy vegetables (except Brassica vegetables) 
group.
    The representative commodities for leafy vegetables (except 
Brassica vegetables) group have been editorially modified to clarify 
that residue data in support of crop group 4 and subgroup 4-A (leafy 
greens) tolerances are required for both head lettuce and leaf lettuce.
    Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) and Chinese celery (Apium graveolens 
var. secalinum) have been added to crop group 4 and subgroup 4-B, leaf 
petioles.
    Florence fennel has been expanded to include the name finocchio.
    The common or loose-leaf chicory (asparagus chicory, radichetta, or 
green chicory) was considered but not added to crop group 4 at this 
time because of the potential confusion with chicory leaves, which are 
in crop group 2.
    5. Crop Group 5. Brassica (cole) leafy vegetables group. Mizuna and 
mustard spinach have been added to the crop group and to subgroup 5-B, 
leafy Brassica greens subgroup.
    6. Crop Group 6. Legume vegetables (succulent or dried) group. The 
representative commodities for subgroup 6-A have been clarified as 
being succulent cultivars. Adzuki bean, moth bean, mung bean and rice 
bean have been moved from the bean (Phaseolus spp.) listing and are now 
included with the bean (Vigna spp.) to reflect recent taxonomic 
changes.
    Pea (Pisum spp.) has been expanded to include sugar snap pea and 
snow pea. Sugar pea was deleted, since snow pea is the preferred common 
name.
    As requested by a commenter, pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) has been 
added to subgroup 6-B, succulent shelled pea and bean, of crop group 6, 
legume vegetables, because it is used extensively in the Caribbean and 
Central and South American countries as a fresh green pea removed from 
its pod.
    7. Crop Group 7. Foliage of legume vegetables group. No comments 
were submitted; no changes have been made.
    8. Crop Group 8. Fruiting vegetables (except cucurbits) group. The 
representative commodities for fruiting vegetables (except cucurbits) 
group have been modified to clarify that residue data in support of 
crop group 8 are required for both bell pepper and a nonbell pepper, as 
well as for tomatoes. This is not a change in policy; however, 
[[Page 26628]] the data requirement was not articulated in the 
regulation previously.
    9. Crop Group 9. Cucurbit vegetables group. A commenter questioned 
the listing of cantaloupe, a specific type of muskmelon, as 
representative commodity for subgroup 9-A; whereas for the parent crop 
group, any muskmelon is a suitable representative commodity. Muskmelon 
of any type is considered acceptable for the parent crop group because 
there are two other representative commodities, a cucumber and a summer 
squash, to balance out the group. However, as the only representative 
commodity for the subgroup, cantaloupe would be the best because its 
finely-ridged rough surface would result in higher surface residues 
compared to the smooth-skinned melons like the honeydew melon. 
Therefore, in the final rule, cantaloupe has been retained as the 
representative commodity for subgroup 9-A.
    A commenter requested that EPA reconsider adding a third subgroup 
``winter squash and pumpkins'' under cucurbits or, alternatively, place 
winter squash and pumpkins with ``melons'' since they all have inedible 
rinds. The commenter is concerned that inappropriately high tolerances 
might be set otherwise, based on residue in summer squash and 
cucumbers, which could utilize more of the Reference Dose than would be 
necessary. A review of established tolerances for the proposed subgroup 
9-B, squash/cucumber, shows that tolerances for summer squash, 
cucumber, winter squash, and pumpkins are the same or fall within the 
5X limitation for tolerance levels in the same subgroup. Therefore, EPA 
has retained winter squash and pumpkins in subgroup 9-B.
    In response to comments, chayote (Sechium edule) fruit has been 
added to the cucurbit vegetables group and the squash/cucumber 
subgroup.
    10. Crop Group 10. Citrus fruits group. A commenter recommended 
that the representative commodities for the citrus fruits group should 
be reduced to two, to include sweet orange and a choice between lemon 
and grapefruit rather than both of the latter. An alternative 
recommendation was to delete grapefruit as a representative commodity 
on the basis that there is no difference between residues in sweet 
oranges and those in grapefruit. However, EPA has not reduced the 
number of representative commodities because of the importance of 
citrus in the diet; the consumption of combined citrus exceeds that of 
any commodity in the general population, and for infants the 
consumption of citrus is second to apples. Therefore, EPA believes it 
is important to require residue data for three representative 
commodities (grapefruit, lemon, and sweet orange) in support of 
tolerances for the citrus fruits group.
    11. Crop Group 11. Pome fruits group. The only change to this group 
is in the scientific name for apple to reflect current nomenclature.
    12. Crop Group 12. Stone fruits group. A commenter recommended that 
sweet cherries, rather than sour cherries, should be a representative 
commodity for the stone fruits group. The commenter explained that, at 
harvest, sour cherries are always flushed with water while sweet 
cherries are usually handled dry. Thus, higher pesticide residues would 
be expected on the sweet cherries, indicating they should be the 
preferred representative commodity of the two types of cherries. 
However, EPA prefers to allow the option of either sour or sweet 
cherries as representative commodity, provided that sour cherries 
should be analyzed for residues in their unwashed state. In addition, 
the term ``tart cherry'' will replace ``sour cherry.''
    A request was made to include pomegranates in the stone fruits 
group. Since this commodity is not similar to other members of the 
stone fruits group, it was not included.
    Several commenters requested that olives be added to the stone 
fruits group. A major problem with grouping olives with stone fruits is 
the need for processing studies to determine the concentration of 
residues in olive oil. Because residue studies for olives, including 
processing studies, would be required for a stone fruit group that 
includes olives, olives would have to be a representative crop, which 
would reduce the usefulness of the group and negate any benefit to 
olives from being in the group.
    EPA may reevaluate pomegranate and olive as tropical/subtropical 
fruits, when a tropical/subtropical fruit crop group is researched in 
the future.
    13. Crop Group 13. Berries group. A commenter requested 
clarification of the discussion of the bushberry subgroup 13-B in 
Section III of the proposed rule. The bushberry subgroup includes woody 
shrubs and bushes that produce fruit in clusters, including the 
blueberry. Blackberries are included in subgroup 13-A with other 
caneberries. Youngberry has been added to blackberry since it is a 
blackberry-raspberry hybrid similar to boysenberry and marionberry, 
which are included with blackberry.
    14. Crop Group 14. Tree nuts group. Several commenters requested 
that representative commodities for the tree nuts group should be 
revised to allow a choice between pecan and English walnut as a 
representative crop in addition to almond. Previously all three 
commodities were required representative crops. EPA proposed deletion 
of English walnuts as a representative commodity to streamline the tree 
nut crop group data requirements by requesting field residue data for 
only the minimum number of representative commodities that will enable 
EPA to adequately evaluate the residue data for establishing a 
tolerance. Almost all English walnuts are produced in California while 
pecans, which are the major tree nut crop produced in the U.S., are 
distributed throughout the U.S., particularly in the southeastern 
region. Residue data on almonds and pecans are needed to obtain 
geographically representative residue data for the tree nuts. Almonds 
and pecans have been retained as the representative crops for this 
group. However, EPA will be flexible on using residue data already 
developed for English walnuts and such data will be useful in 
establishing tolerances for tree nuts or supporting reregistration 
actions.
    Two commenters requested that pistachios be added to the tree nut 
group, stating that residue data are now available that demonstrate 
that pesticide residue levels on pistachios are ``at levels similar to, 
if not lower than other nuts in the grouping.'' Pistachios have been 
requested and considered for inclusion in the crop group previously, 
but not included because pistachio shells split and hence would be 
expected to permit greater residues on the edible portion of the nut 
than other nut crops. Since the commenters did not submit any 
comparative field residue data between pistachios and other tree nuts, 
EPA has not added pistachios to the tree nuts group.
    15. Crop Group 15. Cereal grains group. No comments were submitted, 
and no changes have been made.
    16. Crop Group 16. Forage, fodder and straw of cereal grains group. 
No comments were submitted, and no changes have been made.
    17. Crop Group 17. Grass forage, fodder, and hay group. No comments 
were submitted, and no changes have been made.
    18. Crop Group 18. Non-grass animal feeds (forage, fodder, straw 
and hay) group. No comments were submitted, and no changes have been 
made.
    19. Crop Group 19. Herbs and spices group. In response to various 
comments, a number of commodities have been added to crop group 19 and 
its subgroups: star anise, annatto seed, [[Page 26629]] black caraway, 
cardamom, chervil (dried), Chinese chive, culantro, grains of paradise, 
mustard seed, white pepper, and poppy seed. Common fennel and Florence 
fennel (seed) have replaced Italian and sweet fennel.
    The commodities capsicum (peppers), ginger, paprika, peppermint 
leaves, sesame seed, spearmint leaves, and turmeric were considered, 
but not added to, crop group 19 because they are members of other crop 
groups, they have other processed commodities that would require them 
to be representative commodities, or their cultural practices and pest 
problems are too dissimilar.
    A commenter requested that there be only one representative 
commodity in the herb subgroup and one in the spice subgroup, only two 
for the total crop group, contending that the cost of generating 
residue data on even two commodities for a subgroup would greatly 
exceed the sales value of the crops themselves. Another commenter 
requested that additional herbs and spices be included in the crop 
group, contending that the EPA-proposed list does not include many 
spices that meet the definitions of spice issued by the U.S. Food and 
Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the 
American Spice Trade Association.
    EPA cannot further reduce the number of representative commodities 
at this time because of the great diversity in plant classification 
between the numerous herbs and spices, the wide variation in cultural 
practices and pest problems between the various commodities, the wide 
differences in plant parts that are the raw agricultural commodity, and 
the lack of comparative field residue trial data for many of the 
commodities. As the field residue database on herbs and spices becomes 
more extensive, then the possibility exists for further reducing and/or 
changing some of the representative commodities, or further subdividing 
the current subgroups, so that the number of representative commodities 
might be reduced.

IV. Addition of New Crop Groups

    Several commenters requested the addition of new crop groups, as 
follows: Oil seed crops, to include sunflower, rape, canola, crambe, 
flax, safflower, jojoba, and Lesquerella; tropical fruits to include 
banana, mango, papaya, passion fruit, etc.; and subtropical fruits to 
include avocado, kiwifruit, persimmon, cherimoya, guava, mango, and 
pomegranate. The development of new crop groups for tropical and 
subtropical fruits and for oil seed crops is beyond the scope of this 
rulemaking, but may be considered for future rulemaking.
    As indicated in the proposed rule, any future recommended changes 
to the crop groups or subgroups should be presented in a form which 
includes all necessary background and supporting information, such as a 
list of all commodities to be included, accompanied by scientific 
names, naming all representative commodities and providing a rationale 
for selecting the particular commodities and representative commodities 
to be included. EPA welcomes an opportunity to evaluate crop group/
subgroup proposals, when they are submitted from interested parties, 
and/or to work with such parties on the types of information and data 
necessary to evaluate a new crop group.

V. Other Comments

    A commenter suggested defining cotton to include kenaf, said to be 
a related fiber crop also in the family Malvaceae. Adding or amending 
crop definitions in 40 CFR 180.1(h) is beyond the scope of EPA's 
current efforts to revise the crop groupings. A request to establish a 
commodity definition in Sec. 180.1(h) may be submitted to EPA for 
review as a separate amendment. The amendment should include rationale 
for change, comparative cultural practices including pest problems, 
application timing, food/feed uses, and geographical distribution for 
commodity production, as well as processing food items.
    At this time EPA has no plans to set tolerances on a crop group or 
subgroup basis for pesticide residues in processed food or animal feed 
commodities, even when the parent raw agricultural commodity is a 
member of a crop group. Generally the processed forms of commodities 
are very different from their raw forms and, within a crop group, also 
different from each other's processed forms, including in terms of 
expected residues. Also, processed commodities may have incurred 
pesticide residues from direct or indirect application of pesticides to 
the processed food as well as application to the raw form from which 
the processed form is derived. This would present a problem of too much 
variability in expected residues in the various processed commodities. 
In addition, some chemicals have a tendency to concentrate as a result 
of processing whereas others may remain constant or dissipate during 
processing; this lack of consistency in resulting residues would also 
make it difficult to set a crop group tolerance to cover several 
dissimilar processed commodities.

VI. Implementation

    Petitions pending at the time this final rule is published will 
continue to be processed based on the previous regulation, except they 
will be given the benefit of any appropriate revised or reduced residue 
data requirements if needed. Likewise, residue studies which are 
currently underway should not be adversely affected by this new rule.
    Residue data requirements imposed by these regulations for a crop 
group tolerance are substantially the same as those that were imposed 
by Sec. 180.34(f), except that for a number of crop groups, fewer 
representative commodities are required or a choice of representative 
commodities is allowed. For the bulb vegetables group, the tree nuts 
group, and the herbs and spices group, the number of representative 
commodities is now fewer than before. For the leaves of root and tuber 
vegetables group, Brassica (cole) leafy vegetables group, and herbs and 
spices group, there is some choice allowed in terms of representative 
commodities.
    Because of a major change to the former small fruits and berries 
crop group--deletion of cranberries, grapes, and strawberries as group 
members and as representative commodities, resulting in the new berries 
crop group--any petition for a tolerance for the small fruits and 
berries crop group that is currently pending or submitted within 30 
days after publication of this rule will be processed as if it were a 
petition for tolerances for the berries crop group and the individual 
commodities cranberries, grapes, and strawberries. No additional fee 
will be imposed because of this action, although any other amendment to 
such a petition would be subject to the usual fees.
    A pending petition for a crop group tolerance which is found 
deficient in terms of residue data may be reconsidered by EPA as a 
petition for one or more related crop subgroup tolerances. EPA's 
response to the petitioner will indicate whether such subgroup 
tolerances can be supported. Similarly, crop group tolerances being 
reassessed for reregistration that are determined not to be supported 
by the available data will be evaluated to determine whether the data 
might support one or more related crop subgroup tolerances or one or 
more individual crop tolerances.
    A petition for a crop group or crop subgroup tolerance which relies 
on existing individual tolerances for all or some of the representative 
crops for the crop group or subgroup will be subject to reassessment of 
all available data in support of the individual tolerances to 
[[Page 26630]] determine if such data are currently considered adequate 
to support the crop group or subgroup tolerance.
    All existing crop group tolerances will continue in effect until 
the pesticides undergo the reregistration process or a petition is 
submitted requesting conversion to a new crop group or subgroup. At 
that time, consideration will be given to setting individual tolerances 
for any commodities covered by the old crop group tolerance that are 
not supportable under the new regulations.
    Fees imposed by 40 CFR 180.33(h) for petitions for crop group 
tolerances will apply to petitions for subgroup tolerances as well. For 
fee purposes, each request for a crop subgroup tolerance will be 
considered as if it were a request for a single commodity tolerance.

VII. Index to Commodities

    This unit contains an alphabetical index to the crops in all the 
crop groups, giving the Crop Group number. The index will be included 
in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations as a finding aid after 
its publication in the Federal Register.

IX. Regulatory Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993), the Agency 
must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant'' and 
therefore subject to all the requirements of the Executive Order (i.e., 
Regulatory Impact Analysis, review by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB)). Under section 3(f), the order defines ``significant'' as 
those actions likely to lead to a rule (1) having an annual effect on 
the economy of $100 million or more, or adversely and materially 
affecting a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the 
environment, public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal 
governments or communities (also known as ``economically 
significant''); (2) creating serious inconsistency or otherwise 
interfering with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) 
materially altering the budgetary impacts of entitlement, grants, user 
fees, or loan programs; or (4) raising novel legal or policy issues 
arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the 
principles set forth in this Executive Order.
    Pursuant to the terms of this Executive Order, EPA has determined 
that this rule is not ``significant'' and is therefore not subject to 
OMB review.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This regulatory action has been reviewed under the provisions of 
section 3(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and EPA has determined 
that it will not have a significant adverse economic impact on a 
substantial number of small businesses, small governments, or small 
organizations.
    As this regulatory action is intended to simplify established 
policy, it is expected that no adverse economic impact will occur on 
any small entity.
    Accordingly, EPA certifies that this regulatory action does not 
require a separate regulatory flexibility analysis under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule contains no information collection requirements subject 
to the Paperwork Reduction Act.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 180

    Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedures, 
Agricultural commodities, Pesticides and pests, Reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements.

Dated: May 5, 1995.

Lynn R. Goldman,
Assistant Administrator for Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances

    Therefore, 40 CFR part 180 is amended as follows:

PART 180--[AMENDED]

    1. The authority citation for part 180 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 21 U.S.C. 346a and 371.

    2. In Sec. 180.1, by revising paragraph (g), to read as follows:


Sec. 180.1   Definitions and interpretations.

* * * * *
    (g) For the purpose of computing fees as required by Sec. 180.33, 
each group of related crops listed in Sec. 180.34(e) and each crop 
group or subgroup listed in Sec. 180.41 is counted as a single raw 
agricultural commodity in a petition or [[Page 26635]] request for 
tolerances or exemption from the requirement of a tolerance.


Sec. 180.34   [Amended]

    3. By amending Sec. 180.34 Tests on the amount of residue remaining 
by removing paragraph (f).
    4. By adding new Sec. 180.40, to read as follows:


Sec. 180.40   Tolerances for crop groups.

    (a) Group or subgroup tolerances may be established as a result of:
    (1) A petition from a person who has submitted an application for 
the registration of a pesticide under the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
    (2) On the initiative of the Administrator.
    (3) A petition by an interested person.
    (b) The tables in Sec. 180.41 are to be used in conjunction with 
this section for the establishment of crop group tolerances. Each table 
in Sec. 180.41 lists a group of raw agricultural commodities that are 
considered to be related for the purposes of this section. Refer also 
to Sec. 180.1(h) for a listing of commodities for which established 
tolerances may be applied to certain other related and similar 
commodities.
    (c) When there is an established or proposed tolerance for all of 
the representative commodities for a specific group or subgroup of 
related commodities, a tolerance may be established for all commodities 
in the associated group or subgroup. Tolerances may be established for 
a crop group or, alternatively, tolerances may be established for one 
or more of the subgroups of a crop group.
    (d) The representative crops are given as an indication of the 
minimum residue chemistry data base acceptable to the Agency for the 
purposes of establishing a group tolerance. The Agency may, at its 
discretion, allow group tolerances when data on suitable substitutes 
for the representative crops are available (e.g., limes instead of 
lemons).
    (e) Since a group tolerance reflects maximum residues likely to 
occur on all individual crops within a group, the proposed or 
registered patterns of use for all crops in the group or subgroup must 
be similar before a group tolerance is established. The pattern of use 
consists of the amount of pesticide applied, the number of times 
applied, the timing of the first application, the interval between 
applications, and the interval between the last application and 
harvest. The pattern of use will also include the type of application; 
for example, soil or foliar application, or application by ground or 
aerial equipment.
    (f) When the crop grouping contains commodities or byproducts that 
are utilized for animal feed, any needed tolerance or exemption from a 
tolerance for the pesticide in meat, milk, poultry and/or eggs must be 
established before a tolerance will be granted for the group as a 
whole. The representative crops include all crops in the group that 
could be processed such that residues may concentrate in processed food 
and/or feed. Processing data will be required prior to establishment of 
a group tolerance, and food additive tolerances will not be granted on 
a group basis.
    (g) If maximum residues (tolerances) for the representative crops 
vary by more than a factor of 5 from the maximum value observed for any 
crop in the group, a group or subgroup tolerance will ordinarily not be 
established. In this case individual crop tolerances, rather than group 
tolerances, will normally be established.
    (h) Alternatively, a commodity with a residue level significantly 
higher or lower than the other commodities in a group may be excluded 
from the group tolerance (e.g., cereal grains, except corn). In this 
case an individual tolerance at the appropriate level for the unique 
commodity would be established, if necessary. The alternative approach 
of excluding a commodity with a significantly higher or lower residue 
level will not be used to establish a tolerance for a commodity 
subgroup. Most subgroups have only two representative commodities; to 
exclude one such commodity and its related residue data would likely 
provide insufficient residue information to support the remainder of 
the subgroup. Residue data from crops additional to those 
representative crops in a grouping may be required for systemic 
pesticides.
    (i) The commodities included in the groups will be updated 
periodically either at the initiative of the Agency or at the request 
of an interested party. Persons interested in updating this section 
should contact the Registration Division of the Office of Pesticide 
Programs.
    (j) Establishment of a tolerance does not substitute for the 
additional need to register the pesticide under a companion law, the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. The Registration 
Division of the Office of Pesticide Programs should be contacted 
concerning procedures for registration of new uses of a pesticide.
    5. By adding new Sec. 180.41, to read as follows:


Sec. 180.41   Crop group tables.

    (a) The tables in this section are to be used in conjunction with 
Sec. 180.40 to establish crop group tolerances.
    (b) Commodities not listed are not considered as included in the 
groups for the purposes of this paragraph, and individual tolerances 
must be established. Miscellaneous commodities intentionally not 
included in any group include asparagus, avocado, banana, cranberry, 
fig, globe artichoke, grape, hops, kiwifruit, mango, mushroom, okra, 
papaya, pawpaw, peanut, persimmon, pineapple, strawberry, water 
chestnut, and watercress.
    (c) Each group is identified by a group name and consists of a list 
of representative commodities followed by a list of all commodity 
members for the group. If the group includes subgroups, each subgroup 
lists the subgroup name, the representative commodity or commodities, 
and the member commodities for the subgroup. Subgroups, which are a 
subset of their associated crop group, are established for some but not 
all crops groups.
    (1) Crop Group 1: Root and Tuber Vegetables Group.
    (i) Representative commodities. Carrot, potato, radish, and sugar 
beet.
    (ii) Table. The following Table 1 lists all the commodities 
included in Crop Group 1 and identifies the related crop subgroups.
