Raw and Processed Food Schedule for Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Notice.


SUMMARY:

This notice announces EPA's schedule for reassessing tolerances for pesticide residues in or on raw and processed foods. Publication of this schedule meets the requirements of Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408(q)(3), as established by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Under the new law, EPA is required to reassess all existing tolerances and exemptions from tolerances for both active and inert ingredients. EPA is directed to give priority review to pesticides that appear to present risk concerns based on current data. In reassessing tolerances, EPA must consider the aggregate exposure to the pesticide; cumulative effects from other pesticides with a common mode of toxicity; whether there is an increased susceptibility from exposure to the pesticide to infants and children; and whether the pesticide produces an effect in humans similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen or other endocrine effects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

  1. Background

    The FFDCA authorizes EPA to establish tolerances (maximum residue levels) or exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance, and to modify and revoke tolerances for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on raw agricultural commodities and processed food. Without a tolerance or exemption, food containing pesticide residues is considered to be adulterated and may not be legally moved in interstate commerce. Tolerance procedures are contained in 40 CFR parts 177 through 180; all tolerances and exemptions are listed in parts 180, 185, and 186. Monitoring and enforcement of pesticide tolerances are carried out by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This includes monitoring for pesticide residues in or on commodities imported into the United States.

    On August 3, 1996, the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) was signed into law. Effective upon signature, FQPA significantly amended the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the FFDCA. One new FFDCA provision established by FQPA requires the reassessment of all existing tolerances and exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance in a manner consistent with the requirements of the new law

    Prior to FQPA, EPA reassessed tolerances as part of its reregistration process for pesticides registered prior to November 1984. For pesticide chemicals registered after November 1984 (known as the post-1984 chemicals) and for newly registered pesticides, EPA has used the registration process to ensure that the best available information is used to assess the safety of tolerances and exemptions.

  2. Regulatory Requirements of FFDCA

    Section 408(q) of the FFDCA requires that EPA review within ten years all tolerances and exemptions established prior to the August 3, 1996 enactment of FQPA, giving priority to the review of those tolerances or exemptions that appear to pose the greatest risk to public health. In its review of these tolerances and exemptions, EPA must meet the following time table: 33 percent of applicable tolerances and exemptions must be reviewed by August 1999, 66 percent by August 2002, and 100 percent by August 2006. FQPA also requires that by August 3, 1997, EPA publish a schedule of its reassessment of these tolerances and exemptions. Today's notice satisfies that requirement. Although publication of this tolerance reassessment schedule is not a rulemaking and is not subject to judicial review, EPA welcomes responses to this schedule from interested parties and the general public. Please see part VI, ''Effective Date and Public Response,'' for information on how to respond to this notice.

  3. Tolerances and Exemptions Subject to Reassessment

    At the time of FQPA's August 1996 enactment, there were 9,728 tolerances and exemptions for active and inert ingredients that are subject to the FQPA reassessment time table in section 408(q). Of the tolerances and exemptions for active ingredients subject to the reassessment schedule, 8,190 are tolerances and 712 are exemptions. Also subject to reassessment are 826 exemptions for inert ingredients.

  4. Tolerance Reassessment Program

    All existing tolerances and exemptions will be reviewed in the course of the tolerance reassessment program, initially as part of the Agency's pesticide reregistration program and later as part of the registration renewal program. First, tolerance reassessment will occur as a part of the reregistration process. That is, tolerances and exemptions for a pesticide chemical subject to reregistration are reassessed at the time that the reregistration eligibility decision (RED) is completed for the pesticide. EPA will also reassess tolerances and exemptions associated with pesticides for which REDs were issued before FQPA's August 1996 enactment and therefore require tolerance reassessments conducted according to FQPA standards, pesticides that were registered after 1984 and therefore are not subject to reregistration, and food-use inert ingredients. In 2003, after completion of the reregistration program, tolerance reassessment will become an output of the registration renewal process.

    1. Reassessment Considerations

      In reassessing tolerances, FQPA requires that EPA consider, among other things, the best available data and information on the following:

      [[Page 42021]]

      • The aggregate exposure to the pesticide (including exposure from residential pesticide uses and drinking water).
      • The cumulative effects from other pesticides sharing a common mechanism of toxicity.
      • Whether there is an increased susceptibility from exposure to the pesticide to infants and children.
      • Whether the pesticide produces an effect in humans similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen, or other endocrine effects.

    2. Tolerance Reassessment Priorities

      In order to comply with FQPA reassessment priorities and reregistration scheduling requirements, EPA has divided the pesticides with tolerances and exemptions subject to the reassessment schedule into three groups. In general, tolerances and exemptions for Group 1 pesticides will be subject to reassessment first, followed by groups 2 and 3. While the actual reassessment of the tolerances and exemptions in these three groups may not correspond directly with the three FQPA reassessment deadlines of August 1999, August 2002, and August 2006, this grouping reflects the overall scheduling priorities for tolerance reassessment.

      1. Group 1

        1. Risk- and hazard-based priorities. EPA has placed into Group 1 those tolerances and exemptions associated with the following types of pesticides, which based on the best available information to date appear to pose the greatest risk to the public health:
          1. Pesticides of the organophosphate, carbamate, and organochlorine classes (it is EPA's intent to conduct tolerance reassessments for organophosphate pesticides in the first three years of the schedule).
          2. Pesticides that EPA has classified as probable human (groups B<INF>1</INF> and B<INF>2</INF>) carcinogens, and possible human (group C) carcinogens for which EPA has quantified a cancer potency.
          3. High-hazard inert ingredients.
          4. Any pesticides that, based on the best available data at the time of scheduling, exceed their reference dose (RfD). In making the determination as to which pesticides appear to pose the greatest risk to the public health, whenever possible EPA has taken into account exposure to infants, children, and other sensitive subpopulations.
        2. Reregistration priorities. Because EPA must, in addition to meeting the tolerance reassessment schedule, also complete the reregistration program by 2002, tolerance reassessments for those pesticides for which REDs were substantially complete prior to FQPA's enactment are also included in Group 1, even though the tolerances for these pesticides may not be among those that appear to pose the greatest risk to the public health. For the sake of completeness and for tracking purposes, those food-use pesticides for which REDs were issued after August 3, 1996 are also listed in Group 1, even though EPA has completed their FQPA tolerance reassessments.
        3. Tolerance revocations. EPA has also placed in Group 1 pesticides for which tolerances and exemptions are in the process of being proposed for revocation. These tolerances and exemptions are included in the total 9,728 tolerances and exemptions. In some cases, revocations reduce theoretical risk in dietary assessments where tolerance-level residues are used. This year, EPA has begun to issue a number of proposed rules to revoke over 1,000 tolerances and exemptions: one notice proposes to revoke tolerances and exemptions associated with pesticides for which all registrations have been canceled; a second notice proposes to revoke tolerances for uses that have been deleted from pesticide registrations; a third notice proposes to revoke tolerances for uses canceled in order to reduce theoretical risks to levels below the reference dose; a fourth notice, already issued, proposes to revoke tolerances for uses no longer considered to be significant livestock feed items; and several other notices propose to revoke tolerances for individual pesticides.

      2. Group 2. Possible human carcinogens not included in Group 1 will be reassessed as part of Group 2. Because EPA intends to complete the reregistration program in 2002, tolerances and exemptions for all remaining pesticides subject to reregistration will also be reassessed as part of Group 2. Other pesticides have been placed into Group 2 based on scheduling considerations.

      3. Group 3. EPA has placed in Group 3 the biological pesticides, as well as those inert ingredients referenced in 40 CFR part 180 that EPA has not identified as high-hazard inerts. Also in Group 3 are, as part of the registration renewal program, those post-1984 pesticides with tolerances and/or exemptions not yet reassessed under FQPA.

  5. Tolerance Reassessment Schedule

    This section presents EPA's schedule for reassessing tolerances and exemptions. The schedule is presented in two tables: In Table 1, column A lists the three tolerance reassessment time frames mandated by FFDCA section 408(q)(1), as established by FQPA; column B estimates the total number of tolerances and exemptions that should be reassessed by the end of each period.

    Table 2 is a comprehensive list of the pesticides with tolerances and/or exemptions subject to tolerance reassessment from the date of this notice until August 3, 2006, divided into groups 1, 2, and 3. Where EPA had the information readily available, the pesticides within a group are arranged according to their chemical class; within a chemical class, pesticides are listed alphabetically. The pesticide names listed in Table 2 correspond with their listing in 40 CFR parts 180, 185, and 186, where some common names are also given. Note that each individual pesticide listing may encompass more than one active ingredient. Please refer to the tolerance listings in 40 CFR parts 180, 185, and 186 for further information on the active ingredients covered by specific tolerance citations.

    In all, there are a total of 469 pesticides or high-hazard inert ingredients with food use tolerances that are scheduled for reassessment. This includes 228 in group 1, 93 in group 2 and 148 in group 3. Also, there are an additional 823 inert ingredient exemptions that will be dealt with as part of group 3. The total number of pesticides may change during the course of the process, as, for example, in the case of canceled registrations.

  6. Effective Date and Public Response

    This schedule is not subject to a formal public comment period, and therefore becomes effective upon publication in the Federal Register. Prior to issuance of this notice, EPA involved various stakeholders through the Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee in a public discussion of EPA's tolerance reassessment program and scheduling priorities. Nevertheless, EPA welcomes additional input from interested parties and the general public, in particular: (1) if they believe there are pesticides that should appear on the list but are omitted from it; or (2) if they believe there are pesticides that should be dropped from the list. The Agency will also keep the list of pesticides up-to-date in its periodic reports to Congress on this program. Public responses to this notice should be submitted to the address in the ''ADDRESSES'' section, with an additional copy sent to Jeff Morris, Special Review and Reregistration Division, at the address and telephone number listed above in the section titled ''FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT''.

Within each group of the following Table 2, pesticides are organized alphabetically within a given chemical class. The chemical class determination is not equivalent to a common mechanism of action determination. Those evaluations are underway. When no chemical class is given, it is assumed that the pesticide is not a member of an identified class of chemicals. Note that the oxime carbamates are structurally different from carbamates; however, it has not been determined if they share a common mechanism of action. A complete alphabetical listing of the chemicals is available in the public docket; also available in the public docket is a list of all chemicals that EPA classifies as carcinogens.
