EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0097

Tolerance Actions. FINAL RULE. EPA is inceasing the following tolerances for fomesafen from 0.025 to 0.05 ppm in order to harmonize with the Canadian MRLs in support of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) (see June 2007 proposal):

Bean, dry - 0.05 ppm
Bean, snap, succulent - 0.05 ppm

June 6, 2007 EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0097

Proposed Tolerance Action. EPA is proposing to modify certain tolerances for fomesafen.

-- Currently, the tolerance in 40 CFR 180.433(a) for residues of fomesafen in/on bean, dry and bean, snap, succulent are each 0.025 ppm (May 3, 2006 (71 FR 25945) (FRL-8062-6). The Canadian
MRL is 0.05 ppm bean, dry and bean, snap, succulent. EPA proposes increasing the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.433(a) for residues of fomesafen in/on bean, dry and bean, snap, succulent from 0.025 to 0.05 ppm in order to harmonize with the Canadian MRLs in support of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The Agency determined that the increased tolerances are safe; i.e., there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue.

-- A RED for fomesafen was not needed because it was registered after November 1, 1984 and not subject to reregistration eligibility, and its tolerances were reassessed prior to completion of a TRED, such that a RED for fomesafen was no longer needed because EPA made a safety finding which reassessed its tolerances according to FQPA standards.

Pesticide Registration Review; New Docket Opened for Review and Comment. Pesticide Registration Review; New Docket Opened for Review and Comment. As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is periodically reviewing pesticide registrations to assure that they continue to satisfy the FIFRA standard for registration--that is, they can still be used without unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. The implementing regulations establishing the procedures for registration review appear at 40 CFR part 155. A pesticide's registration review begins when the Agency establishes a docket for the pesticide's registration review case and opens the docket for public review and comment. At present, EPA is opening registration review for fomesafen. Comments must be received on or before June 26, 2007.

An analytical method using chemical derivatization followed by gas chromatography (GC) with Nitrogen-Phosphorus detection (NPD) has been developed and validated for residues of fomesafen in snap/dry beans, cotton seed and cotton gin byproducts, as well as for other crops. After homogenization, the samples are extracted with acidified acetonitrile. After addition of water and additional acid, the extract was submitted to liquid/liquid partition. The residue is transferred to dichloromethane followed by acetone and derivatized with iodomethane in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. A silica gel column cleanup is done with dichloromethane:hexane as the eluent. The final extract is transferred to toluene and analyzed by GC/NPD. The limit of quantitation is 0.025 ppm.
