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.

ADDRESS: Written comments, although not required, may be submitted by
mail to: Public Information and Records Integrity Branch, Information
Resources and Services Division (7506C), Office of Pesticide Programs,
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC 20460.
In person, bring comments to: Rm. 1132, CM #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis
Hwy., Arlington, VA. Comments must be identified by docket control
number (OPP-300523). Information submitted and any comment(s)
concerning this notice may be claimed confidential by marking any part
or all of that information as ``Confidential Business Information''
(CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance
with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. A copy of the comment(s)
that does not contain CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public
record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. 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.

II. 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.

III. 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.

IV. 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.

A. 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.

B. 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--i. 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
B1 and B2) 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.
    ii. 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.
    iii. 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.

V. 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.

VI. 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

    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.
