the detection and measurement of the pesticide chemical residues or an 
explanation of why no such method is needed.

 Interrregional Research Project Number 4, (IR-4)

PP 2E6382, 2E6408, and 2E6441

    EPA has received pesticide petitions (2E6382, 2E6408, and 2E6441) 
from the Interregional Research Project Number 4 (IR-4), Technology 
Centre of New Jersey, the State University of New Jersey, 681 U.S. 
Highway 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390 proposing, 
pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180, by establishing 
tolerances for residues of methoxyfenozide in or on the raw 
agricultural commodities as follows:
    1. PP 2E6382 proposes a tolerance for artichoke, globe at 3.0 parts 
per million (ppm).
    2. PP 2E6408 proposes a tolerance for lychee, longan, spanish lime, 
rambutan and pulasan at 2.0 ppm.
    3. PP 2E6441 proposes a tolerance for cranberry at 0.5 ppm.
    EPA has determined that the petitions contain data or information 
regarding the elements set forth in section 408(d)(2) of the FFDCA; 
however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted 
data at this time or whether the data support granting of the 
petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the 
petitions.
    This notice includes a summary of the petitions prepared by Dow 
Agro Sciences, LLC, Indianapolis, IN 46268-1054, the manufacturer of 
methoxyfenozide.

A. Residue Chemistry

    1. Plant metabolism. The qualitative nature of methoxyfenozide 
residues in plants and animals is adequately understood and was 
previously published in the Federal Register of July 5, 2000 (65 FR 
41355) (FRL-6497-5).
    2. Analytical method. An high performance liquid chromatography 
using ultra-violet detection (HPLC/UV) method TR 34-00-109 for the 
enforcement of tolerances in stone fruits has been developed and is 
adequate to support the proposed tolerances. Confirmatory method 
validation data have been submitted for this method. The validated 
limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the analytical method was 0.02 ppm in 
all matrices for methoxyfenozide.
    3. Magnitude of residues. Complete residue data for methoxyfenozide 
on artichoke, globe; longan; spanish lime; rambutan; pulasan; and 
cranberry have been submitted. The requested tolerances are adequately 
supported.

B. Toxicological Profile

    1. Acute toxicity. The toxicological profile and endpoints for 
methoxyfenozide which support this petition to establish tolerances 
were previously published in the Federal Register of July 5, 2000 (65 
FR 41355).
    2. Endocrine disruption. The petitioner believes that, since the 
definition and regulatory significance of the term ``endocrine 
disruptor chemical'' have not yet been established by the Agency, it is 
not clear whether methoxyfenozide, on the basis of observed effects on 
the thyroid gland and adrenal gland, should be considered to be an 
``endocrine disruptor chemical.'' Other than the morphological changes 
reported in the above referenced document (July 5, 2000, 65 FR 41355), 
there were no signs of thyroid or adrenal dysfunction in these or in 
any other studies on methoxyfenozide.

C. Aggregate Exposure

    1. Dietary exposure--i. Food. Assessments were conducted to 
evaluate potential risks due to chronic and acute dietary exposure of 
the U. S. population subgroups to residues of methoxyfenozide. These 
analyses cover all registered crops, as well as, uses pending with the 
Agency, active and proposed section 18 uses, and proposed IR-4 minor 
uses. There are no registered residential nonfood uses of 
methoxyfenozide.
    a. Acute risk. No appropriate toxicological endpoint attributable 
to a single exposure was identified in the available toxicology studies 
on methoxyfenozide including the acute neurotoxicity study in rats, the 
developmental toxicity study in rats and the developmental toxicity 
study in rabbits. Since no acute toxicological endpoints were 
established, Dow Agro Sciences considers acute aggregate risk to be 
negligible.
    b. Chronic assessments were conducted to evaluate potential risks 
due to chronic dietary exposure of the U.S. population and selected 
population subgroups to residues of methoxyfenozide. These analyses 
cover all registered crops, uses pending with the EPA, active and 
proposed section 18 uses and new proposed IR-4 uses. Dow Agro Sciences 
used the Dietary Exposure Evaluation ModelTM (DEEM), 
(Novigen Sciences, Washington, DC) software for conducting a chronic 
dietary (food) risk analysis. DEEM is a dietary exposure analysis 
system that is used to estimate exposure to a pesticide chemical in 
foods comprising the diets of the U.S. population, including population 
subgroups. DEEM contains food consumption data as reported by 
respondents in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Continuing Surveys of 
Food Intake by Individuals conducted in 1994-1996. Dow Agro Sciences 
assumed 100% of crops would be treated and contain methoxyfenozide 
residues at tolerance levels. The resulting chronic dietary exposure 
analysis is summarized in Table 1.

Percent chronic PAD = (Exposure divided by chronic PAD) x 100%.
The subgroups listed are:
1. The U.S. population (total)
2. Those for infants and children
3. The other subgroup(s), if any, for which the percentage of the chronic PAD occupied is greater than that
  occupied by the subgroup U.S. population (total).

    The resulting dietary food exposures occupy up to 37.6% of the 
chronic population adjusted dose (PAD) for the most highly exposed 
population subgroup, children 1 to 6 years old. These results should be 
viewed as conservative (health protective) risk estimates. Refinements 
such as use of percent crop-treated (PCT) information and/or 
anticipated residue values would yield even lower estimates of chronic 
dietary exposure.
    ii. Drinking water. There are no water-related exposure data from 
monitoring to complete a quantitative drinking water exposure analysis 
and risk assessment for methoxyfenozide. Generic Expected Environmental 
Concentration (GENEEC) and/or EPA's Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure 
Analysis Modeling System (PRZM/EXAMS) (both product estimates of 
pesticide concentration in a farm pond) are used to generate estimated 
environmental concentrations (EECs) for Surface Water and Screening 
Concentration in Ground Water (SCI-GROW) (an empirical model based upon 
actual monitoring data collected for a number of pesticides that serve 
as benchmarks) predicts EECs in ground water. These models take into 
account the use patterns and the environmental profile of a pesticide, 
but do not include consideration of the impact that processing raw 
water for distribution as drinking water would likely have on the 
removal of pesticides from the source water. The primary use of these 
models at this stage is to provide a coarse screen for assessing 
whether a pesticide is likely to be present in drinking water at 
concentrations which would exceed human health levels of concern
    A drinking water level of comparison (DWLOC) is the concentration 
of a pesticide in drinking water that would be acceptable as a 
theoretical upper limit in light of total aggregate exposure to that 
pesticide from food, water, and residential uses. EPA uses DWLOCs 
internally in the risk assessment process as a surrogate measure of 
potential exposure associated with pesticide exposure through drinking 
water. In the absence of monitoring data for a pesticide, the DWLOC is 
used as a point of comparison against the conservative EECs provided by 
computer modeling SCI-GROW, GENEEC, and PRZM/EXAMS.
    a. Acute exposure and risk. Because no acute dietary endpoint was 
determined, Dow Agro Sciences concludes that there is a reasonable 
certainty of no harm from acute exposure from drinking water.
    b. Chronic exposure and risk. Tier II screening-level assessments 
can be conducted using the simulation models SCI-GROW and PRZM/EXAMS to 
generate EECs for ground water and surface water, respectively. The 
modeling was conducted based on the environmental profile and the 
maximum seasonal application rate proposed for methoxyfenozide (1.0 lb 
ai/acre/season). PRZM/EXAMS was used to generate the surface water 
EECs, because it can factor the persistent nature of the chemical into 
the estimates.
    The EECs for assessing chronic aggregate dietary risk used by HED 
are 6 parts per billion (ppb) (in ground water, based on SCI-GROW) and 
98.5 ppb (in surface water, based on the PRZM/EXAMS, long-term mean). 
The back-calculated DWLOCs for assessing chronic aggregate dietary risk 
range from 624 ppb for the most highly exposed population subgroup 
(children 1 to 6 years old) to 2,839 ppb for the U.S. population (48 
contiguous States - all seasons).
    The SCI-GROW and PRZM/EXAMS chronic EECs are less than the Agency's 
level of comparison (the DWLOC value for each population subgroup) for 
methoxyfenozide residues in drinking water as a contribution to chronic 
aggregate exposure. Dow Agro Sciences thus concludes with reasonable 
certainty that residues of methoxyfenozide in drinking water will not 
contribute significantly to the aggregate chronic human health risk and 
that the chronic aggregate exposure from methoxyfenozide residues in 
food and drinking water will not exceed the Agency's level of concern 
(100% of the chronic PAD) for chronic dietary aggregate exposure by any 
population subgroup. EPA generally has no concern for exposures below 
100% of the chronic PAD, because it is a level at or below which daily 
aggregate dietary exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciable 
risks to the health and safety of any population subgroup. This risk 
assessment is considered high confidence, conservative, and very 
protective of human health.

Maximum water exposure (mg/kg/day) = chronic PAD (mg/kg/day) - chronic food exposure.
1. DWLOC ([mu]g/L) = (Maximum water exposure mg/kg/day) x body weight (kg)) divided by (1/1,000 mg/[mu]g x water consumed daily (L/day)).
2. Body weights (kg) for adults is 70, for females 13+ is 60 kg and for all children is 10 kg.
3. Drinking water consumption is 2 liters per day for adults and 1 liter per day for children.

    2. Non-dietary exposure. Methoxyfenozide is not currently 
registered for use on any residential non-food sites. Therefore, there 
is no non-dietary acute, chronic, short- or intermediate-term exposure.

D. Cumulative Effects

    Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) requires that, when considering whether to 
establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency considers 
``available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of a 
particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances that have a 
common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA does not have, at this time, available data to determine 
whether methoxyfenozide has a common mechanism of toxicity with other 
substances or how to include this pesticide in a cumulative risk 
assessment. Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a 
cumulative risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, 
methoxyfenozide does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced 
by other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance action, 
therefore, it is assumed that methoxyfenozide does not have a common 
mechanism of toxicity with other substances.

E. Safety Determination

    1. U.S. population. Using the DEEM exposure assumptions described 
in this unit, Dow Agro Sciences has concluded that aggregate exposure 
to methoxyfenozide from the proposed new tolerances will utilize 18.9% 
of the chronic PAD for the U.S. population. The major identifiable 
subgroup with the highest aggregate exposure is children 1 to 6 years 
old at 37.6% of the chronic PAD and is discussed below. EPA generally 
has no concern for exposures below 100% of the chronic PAD because the 
chronic PAD represents the level at or below which daily aggregate 
dietary exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciable risks to 
human health. Despite the potential for exposure to methoxyfenozide in 
drinking water, the aggregate exposure is not expected to exceed 100% 
of the chronic PAD. Dow Agro Sciences concludes that there is a 
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure 
to methoxyfenozide residues.
    2. Infants and children. In assessing the potential for additional 
sensitivity of infants and children to residues of methoxyfenozide, EPA 
considered data from developmental toxicity studies in the rat and 
rabbit and a 2-generation reproduction study in the rat. The 
developmental toxicity studies are designed to evaluate adverse effects 
on the developing organism resulting from maternal pesticide exposure 
during gestation. Reproduction studies provide information relating to 
effects from exposure to the pesticide on the reproductive capability 
of mating animals and data on systemic toxicity.
    FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA shall apply an additional ten-
fold 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 data base unless EPA determines that a different 
margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. Margins of 
safety are incorporated into EPA risk assessments either directly 
through use of a margin of exposure (MOE) analysis or through using 
uncertainty (safety) factors in calculating a dose level that poses no 
appreciable risk to humans. EPA believes that reliable data support 
using the standard uncertainty factor (UF) (usually 100 for combine 
interspecies and intraspecies variability) and not the additional ten-
fold MOE/UF when EPA has a complete data base under existing guidelines 
and when the severity of the effect in infants or children or the 
potency or unusual toxic properties of a compound do not raise concerns 
regarding the adequacy of the standard MOE/safety factor.
    The toxicology data base for methoxyfenozide included acceptable 
developmental toxicity studies in both rats and rabbits as well as a 2-
generation reproductive toxicity study in rats. The data provided no 
indication of increased sensitivity of rats or rabbits to in utero and/
or postnatal exposure to methoxyfenozide. There is a complete toxicity 
data base for methoxyfenozide an exposure data are complete or are 
estimated based on data that reasonably account for potential 
exposures. Based on the completeness of the data base and the lack of 
prenatal and postnatal toxicity, EPA determined that an additional 
safety factor was not needed for the protection of infants and 
children.
    Since no toxicological endpoints were established, acute aggregate 
risk is considered to be negligible. Using the exposure assumptions 
described in this unit, Dow AgroSciences has concluded that aggregate 
exposure to methoxyfenozide from the proposed new tolerances will 
utilize 37.6% of the cPAD for infants and children. EPA

generally has no concern for exposures below 100% of the cPAD because 
the cPAD represents the level at or below which daily aggregate dietary 
exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciable risks to human 
health. Despite the potential for exposure to methoxyfenozide in 
drinking water, Dow Agro Sciences does not expect the aggregate 
exposure to exceed 100% of the cPAD. Short-term and intermediate-term 
risks are judged to be negligible due to the lack of significant 
toxicological effects observed. Based on these risk assessments, Dow 
Agro Sciences concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no 
harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to 
methoxyfenozide residues.

F. International Tolerances

    There are no established or proposed Codex, Canadian or Mexican 
limits for residues of methoxyfenozide in/on plant or animal 
commodities. Therefore, no compatibility issues exist with regard to 
the proposed U.S. tolerances.
