Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-isooctyl-[omega]-hydroxy;
Exemption From the Requirement of a Tolerance
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation amends an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the
alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons, and a minimum number
average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 (herein referred to as ``AAAs''
(alkyl alcohol alkoxylates)) to include Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl),
[alpha]-isooctyl-[omega]-hydroxy (CAS Reg. No. 61723-78-2) when used as
an inert ingredient (surfactant, related adjuvants of surfactants) in
pesticide formulations. The Spring Trading Company on behalf of Sasol
Chemicals (USA) submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an amendment to an existing
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation
eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-isooctyl-[omega]-hydroxy.
DATES: This regulation is effective September 7, 2017. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before November 6, 2017,

II. Petition for Exemption
In the Federal Register of August 5, 2009 (74 FR 38935) (FRL-8430-
1), EPA issued a final rule that established an exemption from the
requirements of a tolerance for (residues) of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the
alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons, and a minimum number
average molecular weight (in amu) 1,100 [herein referred to as ``AAAs''
(alkyl alcohol alkoxylates)] when used as an inert ingredient in
pesticide formulations. The exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance was established for residues of the lower molecular weight of
[alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly
(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six
carbons when used as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations
applied pre- and post-harvest, applied to livestock, and used in
antimicrobial formulations under 40 CFR 180.910, 40 CFR 180.930, and 40
CFR 180.940(a). In addition, an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance was established for residues of larger molecular weight
compounds of [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or
poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of
six carbons under 40 CFR 180.960. The individual chemicals covered by
the exemption are identified by CAS Reg. Nos.
In the Federal Register of June 8, 2017 (Volume 82 FR 26641) (FRL-
9961-14), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21
U.S.C. 346a, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP IN-
10990) by The Spring Trading Company, (203 Dogwood Trail, Magnolia, TX
77354) on behalf of Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC, (12120 Wickchester Lane,
Houston, TX 77079). The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.910,
180.930, 180.940(a) and 180.960 be amended by modifying the exemptions
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of AAAs by adding
residues of poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-isooctyl-[omega]-hydroxy,
identified by CAS Reg. No. 61723-78-2, which meets the chemical
identity [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly
(oxyethylene) polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six
carbons. In cases where the minimum number average molecular weight is
1,100 or more, the request is to include the alcohols, C>14,
ethoxylated in the group of substances named under 40 CFR 180.960. For
lower molecular weights the request is to amend the existing exemptions
from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930 and
180.940(a).
Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
confirmed that the requested CAS Reg. No. 61723-78-2 is acceptable for
inclusion under the currently approved descriptor. This determination
is based on the Agency's risk assessment which can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in document IN-10990; Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl),
[alpha]-isooctyl-[omega]-hydroxy: Human Health Risk Assessment and
Ecological Effects Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the
Requirement of a Tolerance When Used as an Inert Ingredient in
Pesticide Formulations which can be found in docket ID number EPA-HQ-
OPP-2016-0755.
III. Inert Ingredient Definition
Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active
ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not
limited to, the following types of ingredients (except when they have a
pesticidal efficacy of their own): Solvents such as alcohols and
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty
acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as
carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing
agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents;
and emulsifiers. The term ``inert'' is not intended to imply
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active.
Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a
tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert
ingredients.
IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section 408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the
pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to
infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical
residue. . . .''
EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be clearly demonstrated that the risks from
aggregate exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably
foreseeable circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human
health. In order to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to
pesticide inert ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the
inert in conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert
ingredient through food, drinking water, and through other exposures
that occur as a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA
is able to determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
[[Page 42237]]
result from aggregate exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance may be established.
Consistent with FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(A), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for AAAs including exposure
resulting from the exemption established by this action. EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks associated with AAAs follows.
The Agency agrees with the petitioner that poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), [alpha]-isooctyl-[omega]-hydroxy-, CAS Reg. No. 61723-78-2
is an AAA having a molecular structure conforming to the chemical
description given in the tolerance exemption expression, i.e., [alpha]-
alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene)
polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons and
which do not contain additional structural elements that are not
included within the tolerance exemption expression description. In
2009, in establishing the exemption for the AAAs, EPA assessed their
safety generally using worst case exposure assumptions (August 5, 2009;
74 FR 38935). EPA concluded based on that assessment that exempting the
AAAs from the requirement from a tolerance would be safe. Inclusion of
additional chemicals that are part of the group described above in the
risk assessment for the AAAs would in no way alter that prior risk
assessment given the generic findings on toxicity and the worst case
exposure assumptions used in that risk assessment. Accordingly, based
on the findings in that earlier rule, and the finding that poly(oxy-
1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-isooctyl-[omega]-hydroxy-, CAS Reg. No. 61723-
78-2 fits within the description of AAAs that were the subject of that
rule, EPA has determined that there is a reasonable certainty that no
harm to any population subgroup, including infants and children, will
result from aggregate exposure to AAAs, including the additional
chemical described above, as inert ingredients in pesticide products
under reasonably foreseeable circumstances. Therefore, the amendment of
exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910,
180.930, 180.940(a), and 180.960, for residues of AAAs to add the
chemical described above, is safe under FFDCA section 408.
V. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.
B. International Residue Limits
In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards
program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
The Codex has not established a MRL for AAAs.
C. Response to Comments--No Comments Have Been Received
VI. Conclusions
Therefore, the exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance under
40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 180.960 for a-alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly (oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the
alkyl chain contains a minimum of six carbons when used as an inert
ingredient as a surfactant in pesticide formulations applied to growing
crops, animals, or food contact surfaces are amended to add the CAS
Reg. No. 61723-78-2 to the description of AAAs.
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408(d) of
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4).
This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).
VIII. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller
[[Page 42238]]
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).
