ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0656; FRL-9326-01-OCSPP]


Alcohols, C10-16, Ethoxylated, Sulfates, 
Mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium Salts (CAS No. 157627-92-4); Tolerance 
Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement 
of a tolerance for residues of alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 
mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (CAS No. 157627-92-4); when used as an 
inert ingredient in pesticide formulations used pre- and post-harvest 
as well as in formulations applied to livestock. Spring Regulatory 
Sciences, on behalf of BASF Corporation, submitted a petition to EPA 
under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an 
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for specific uses. This 
regulation eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level 
for residues of alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 
mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (CAS No. 157627-92-4) on food or feed 
commodities or when applied to livestock.

DATES: This regulation is effective February 2, 2022. Objections and 
requests for hearings must be received on or before April 4, 2022, and 
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR 
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Petition for Exemption

    In the Federal Register of October 21, 2021 (86 FR 58239) (FRL-
8792-04), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21 
U.S.C. 346a, announcing the receipt of a pesticide petition (PP IN-
11530) filed by Spring Regulatory Sciences (6620 Cypresswood Dr. Suite 
250, Spring, TX 77379), on behalf of BASF Corporation (100 Park Avenue, 
Florham Park, New Jersey 07932). The petition requested that 40 CFR 
180.910 and 180.930 be amended by establishing an exemption from the 
requirement of a tolerance for residues of alcohols, C10-16, 
ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (CAS No. 
157627-92-4) for use as an inert ingredient at no more than 30% by 
weight of the final pesticide formulation. That document included a 
summary of the petition prepared by the petitioner and solicited 
comments on the petitioner's request. The Agency did not receive any 
public comments.

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

[[Page 5704]]

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. 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 shown 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 result from aggregate 
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of 
a tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), 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 and considered its validity, completeness and reliability and 
the relationship of this information 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. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of 
and to make a determination on aggregate exposure to alcohols, C10-16, 
ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts including 
exposure resulting from the exemption established by this action. EPA's 
assessment of exposures and risks associated with alcohols, C10-16, 
ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts follows.
    In an effort to streamline its publications in the Federal 
Register, EPA is not reprinting sections that repeat what has been 
previously published for tolerance rulemakings of the same pesticide 
chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical 
remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between 
tolerance rulemakings, and republishing the same sections is 
unnecessary. EPA considers referral back to those sections as 
sufficient to provide an explanation of the information EPA considered 
in making its safety determination for the new rulemaking.
    EPA has previously published tolerance rulemakings for alkyl 
alcohol alkoxylate phosphate derivatives (AAAPDs) and alkyl alcohol 
alkoxylate sulfate derivatives (AAASDs), in which EPA concluded, based 
on the available information, that there is a reasonable certainty that 
no harm would result from aggregate exposure to AAAPDs and AAASDs, and 
established tolerances for residues of those chemicals. EPA is 
incorporating previously published sections from that rulemaking as 
described further in this rulemaking, as they remain unchanged. The 
past rule EPA cites here covers AAAPDs and AAASDs, which are 
collectively referred to as alkyl alcohol alkoxylate phosphate and 
sulfate derivatives (AAAPSDs). Alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 
mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (CAS No. 157627-92-4) is an AAASD that 
is synthesized as a mixture. Based on the structural and 
physicochemical similarities between Alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, 
sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts (CAS No. 157627-92-4) and 
other AAAPSDs previously assessed by EPA, the data used in the 2009 
risk assessment for AAAPSDs is considered appropriate to assess 
alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium 
salts.

A. Toxicological Profile

    The Toxicological Profile of alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, 
sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts remain unchanged from the 
Toxicological Profile in Unit IV.A. of the July 29, 2009 rulemaking (74 
FR 37571) (FRL-8424-6). Refer to that section for a discussion of the 
Toxicological Profile of AAAPSDs.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    The Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern of 
alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium 
salts remain unchanged from the Toxicological Profile in Unit IV.B. of 
the July 29, 2009 rulemaking (74 FR 37571) (FRL-8424-6). Refer to that 
section for a discussion of the Toxicological Points of Departure/
Levels of Concern of AAAPSDs.

C. Exposure Assessment

    The exposure assessment for alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, 
sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts remain unchanged from the 
July 29, 2009 rulemaking and supporting human health risk assessment 
(D365210, June 8, 2009). Provided that the AAAPSDs are limited to no 
more than 30% by weight in the final formulation, there were no 
dietary, residential or aggregate risks of concern for the U.S. 
population and all subpopulations. No occupational risks of concern 
were identified when assuming that mixer/loader/applicators will wear 
chemical-resistant gloves. Based on this human health risk assessment, 
an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance was established under 
40 CFR 180.920 for pre-harvest use of AAAPDs to no more than 30% by 
weight in pesticide end-use products. This risk assessment also 
supported the use of the AAASD inert ingredients in pesticide 
formulations intended for use pre- and post-harvest (40 CFR 180.910) as 
well as for use on livestock (40 CFR 180.930). Therefore, provided 
alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium 
salts are limited to no more than 30% by weight in the final 
formulation, there

[[Page 5705]]

are no dietary, residential or aggregate risks of concern for the U.S. 
population and all subpopulations. As a result, the Agency has 
determined that a tolerance is not necessary to protect public health.

D. 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 determined that alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, 
sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts share a common mechanism of 
toxicity with any other substances, and alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, 
sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts do not appear to produce a 
toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this 
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that alcohols, C10-16, 
ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts do not have a 
common mechanism 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/pesticides/cumulative.

E. 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 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 concludes 
that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and 
children. EPA continues to conclude that there is reliable data showing 
that the safety of infants and children would be adequately protected 
if the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor were reduced 
from 10x to 1x. The reasons for that decision are articulated in Unit 
IV.D. of the July 29, 2009 rulemaking.

F. Determination of Safety

    Therefore, based on the risk assessments and information described 
above, EPA concludes there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will 
result to the general population, or to infants and children, from 
aggregate exposure to alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 
mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts. More detailed information about the 
Agency's analysis can be found at https://www.regulations.gov in the 
documents titled ``Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate 
Derivatives (AAAPDs and AAASDs--JITF CST 2 Inert Ingredients). Human 
Health Risk Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the 
Requirement of a Tolerance When Used as Inert Ingredients in Pesticide 
Formulations'' and ``IN-11530; Petition to Add Alcohols, C10-16, 
Ethoxylated, Sulfates, Mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium Salts (CAS No. 
157627-92-4) to the Current Tolerance Exemption for Alkyl Alcohol 
Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate Derivatives (AAAPSDs)'' These 
documents can be found in docket ID numbers EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0131 and 
EPA-HQ-OPP-2021-0656.

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 
alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium 
salts in or on any food commodities. EPA is establishing a limitation 
on the amount of alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, 
mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts that may be used in pesticide 
formulations. This limitations will be enforced through the pesticide 
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 exceeds 30% by weight of 
alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium 
salts in the final pesticide formulation.

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 United Nations 
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 alcohols, C10-16, 
ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts.

VI. Conclusion

    EPA finds that exempting residues of alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, 
sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium salts from the requirement of a 
tolerance will be safe. Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of 
a tolerance is established under 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 for 
alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated, sulfates, mono(hydroxyethyl)ammonium 
salts when used as an inert ingredient at no more than 30% by weight in 
pesticide formulations.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes 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 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 action directly regulates growers, food processors, food 
handlers, and food

[[Page 5706]]

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).
