available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no
comments received in response to the notice of filing.
    Consistent with the authority in FFDCA section 408(d)(4)(A)(1), EPA
is establishing tolerances as requested with some variations. The
reasons for these changes are explained in Unit IV.D.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish 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. . . .''
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), 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 pydiflumetofen including
exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action.
EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with pydiflumetofen
follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies 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.
    The liver was a common target across species tested, likely in part
due to the extensive first pass metabolism of absorbed pydiflumetofen.
Liver effects were either concurrent with body weight depression and
other target organ toxicity as in rats, or the first symptoms of
treatment-related toxicity as in mice and dogs. Liver toxicity commonly
manifested as increased liver weight concordant with hepatocyte
hypertrophy in all species and was accompanied by increased cholesterol
and triglyceride serum levels and a higher incidence of liver masses
and eosinophilic foci of cellular alteration in mice and increased
serum levels of liver enzymes and triglycerides in dogs. Male mice
further exhibited a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of
hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas (accounted for separately and
combined) and in the frequency of individual mice exhibiting multiple
liver adenomas following chronic exposure. Treatment-related liver
tumors were not observed in female mice nor in rats of either sex.
    Body weight effects were also observed in rodents in response to
treatment. Adult rats experienced depressed body weight following both
subchronic (concurrent with liver toxicity) and chronic oral exposure
(in isolation) and mice exhibited body weight depression following
chronic exposure concurrent with symptoms of liver toxicity. A dose-
dependent increase in the incidence and severity of thyroid gland
follicular cell hypertrophy was also noted in rats following subchronic
dietary exposure at doses greater than or equal to 587 mg/kg/day. In
general, short and intermediate duration repeat dose oral exposures
were well tolerated by adult rodents and dogs. Rodents were, however,
considerably less tolerant of long-term exposure. Liver and body weight
effects manifested at doses 25 and 12 times lower in chronic studies as
compared to subchronic studies in mice and rats, respectively. A
similar progression of toxicity was not evident in dogs.
    The database does not support a conclusion that the pesticide is a
neurotoxicant. Although a dose-dependent decrease in two locomotor
activity parameters, number of rears and total distance traveled, was
observed in female adult rats only within 6 hours of exposure following
acute gavage oral exposure to doses greater than or equal to 300 mg/kg
in the acute neurotoxicity study, there were no neuropathology lesions
or consistent evidence of other behavioral changes accompanying the
depressed locomotor activity up to acute doses of 2000 mg/kg. Detailed
functional observations of rats and dogs following repeat dose dietary
exposure did not identify similar changes in locomotor activity or any
other behavioral changes indicative of neurotoxicity.
    Body weight toxicity was not a unique observation in adults; it was
also observed in rat offspring. In the two-generation reproduction
study, rat pups exhibited significantly reduced weight during lactation
that persisted through weaning and into adulthood. The pup body weight
decrements were observed in the absence of parental toxicity indicating
post-natal susceptibility to pydiflumetofen exposure. There was no
evidence of enhanced fetal susceptibility following gestational
exposure to pregnant rats or rabbits in the developmental studies.
    Although there is some evidence of carcinogenicity in the database
(i.e., hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas in male mice), the Agency
has concluded that pydiflumetofen is not likely to be carcinogenic to
humans at doses that do not induce a proliferative response in the
liver. This conclusion is based on the limited nature of tumors seen in
the available data (liver tumors found only in male mice), the fact
that pydiflumetofen is not a mutagenic concern in vivo, and available
mode of action data. The available mode of action data supports the
Agency's conclusion that liver tumors are likely induced via activation
of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and subsequent
stimulation of hepatocellular proliferation, and that hepatocellular
proliferation is not likely to occur at the doses at which EPA is
regulating exposure to pydiflumetofen. As a result, a non-linear
approach using the chronic reference dose would adequately account for
chronic toxicity, including carcinogenicity.
    Pydiflumetofen exhibited low acute toxicity via the dermal and
inhalation route. Acute dermal exposure to dermal doses of 5000 mg/kg
elicited reduced activity in rats similar to observations following
acute oral exposure, but it did not incur mortality. Acute exposure did
not irritate the skin nor did it elicit dermal sensitization. No dermal
or systemic toxicity was observed following repeat-dose dermal
exposures up to 1000 mg/kg/day. Acute lethality from inhalation
exposure was limited to high inhalation concentrations and it was a
mild acute eye irritant. The requirement for the subchronic inhalation
toxicity study was waived for the pydiflumetofen risk assessment based
on a weight of evidence (WoE) approach that considered all of the
available hazard and exposure information for pydiflumetofen,
including: (1) The physical-chemical properties of pydiflumetofen
indicated low volatility (vapor pressure is 3.98 x 10-9 mm
Hg at 25 [deg]C); (2) the use pattern and exposure scenarios; (3) the
margins of exposure for the worst case scenarios are [gteqt]13,000
using an oral point of departure and assuming inhalation and oral
absorption are equivalent; (4) pydiflumetofen exhibits low acute
inhalation toxicity (Category IV); and (5) the current endpoints
selected for risk assessment, liver toxicity and pup body weight
decrements, were the most sensitive effects identified in the database
and an inhalation study is not likely to identify a lower POD or more
sensitive endpoint for risk assessment.
    The toxicity of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol--a pydiflumetofen metabolite
and residue of concern in livestock commodities--was evaluated based on
studies from the open literature that were provided by the registrant,
identified in a previous EPA review of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-09/documents/2-4-6-trichlorophenol.pdf) and the Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) review of chlorophenols (https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp107.pdf), or retrieved in a search of the literature
conducted for this risk assessment. The absorption,

distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) information available
for 2,4,6-trichlorophenol is similar to the ADME profile for
pydiflumetofen: Near complete absorption and extensive metabolism
followed by rapid excretion without appreciable tissue accumulation.
Oral exposure to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol elicited effects in the liver,
kidneys, and hematopoietic system as well as body weight depression.
Subchronic oral exposure in rats elicited an increase in liver, kidney
(males only), and spleen weight, an increase in total protein and
albumin serum levels, a moderate to marked increase in splenic
hematopoiesis, and an increased incidence of hepatocyte vacuolation.
Following chronic dietary exposure, male rats exhibited an increased
incidence of leukemias, lymphomas, and nephropathy, and both sexes
exhibited an increased incidence of bone marrow hyperplasia,
leukocytosis, fatty metamorphosis in the liver, and chronic
inflammation of the kidney. Tissue specific toxicity in mice was
limited to the liver and manifest as an increased incidence of liver
adenomas and carcinomas following chronic exposure. Adult body weight
depression was observed in both rodent species. Mortality also occurred
with greater frequency in both species at or above the limit dose. The
few studies that examined developmental and offspring effects presented
equivocal evidence of offspring toxicity following exposure to 2,4,6-
trichlorophenol. Prenatal subchronic drinking water exposure in female
rats led to a reduction in litter size and perinatal drinking water
exposure in rats elicited changes in offspring spleen and liver weight;
however, the health of the dams and its potential contribution to the
manifestation of the offspring effects was not discussed in this study
so it is unclear whether the offspring toxicity is a direct result of
exposure or secondary to maternal toxicity. In a separate study, pup
body weight decrements were observed in the presence and absence of
parental toxicity following subchronic exposure, but the body weight
effect was considered a consequence of the larger litter size rather
than treatment. In any event, the effects seen in these studies
occurred at doses above the endpoints selected for regulation of
pydiflumetofen exposure.
    These studies illustrate a spectrum of responses to increasing oral
2,4,6-trichlorophenol exposure: Isolated organ weight changes and a
reduction in litter size were observed at doses as low as 30 mg/kg/day
with adverse effects in the target tissues and significant body weight
depression in adult animals manifesting when the oral dose exceeded 200
mg/kg/day. However, the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol doses that elicited the
subchronic and chronic toxicity described above were not below the
empirical NOAELs established in comparable pydiflumetofen guideline
studies (after converting both to millimoles/kg/day) suggesting that
direct exposure to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol is not more toxic than direct
exposure to pydiflumetofen. Furthermore, direct exposure to 2,4,6-
trichlorophenol is anticipated from dietary exposures only and the
dietary PODs selected for pydiflumetofen are protective of all adverse
effects reported in the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol literature.
    The carcinogenic potential of 2,4,6-tricholorophenol was assessed
in 1990 by EPA and classified as a B2-probable human carcinogen in
accordance with the 1986 cancer classification guidance based on an
increased incidence of combined lymphomas and leukemias in male F344
rats and hepatocellular adenomas or carcinomas in male and female mice.
Since that evaluation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, new literature has been
published on the human relevance of leukemias in the F344 rat. The EPA
re-evaluated the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol carcinogenicity literature and
the broader scientific literature on rodent leukemia to determine if
the data supported conducting a separate cancer assessment for 2,4,6-
trichlorophenol. The rodent leukemia literature indicated that the
leukemia finding in male F344 rats is common for this strain of rat, is
highly variable, and lacks a direct human correlate. Although
treatment-related, the EPA concluded the leukemia incidence in rats did
not support a linear approach to cancer quantification given its
questionable relevance to human health risk assessment. Furthermore,
the incidence of lymphomas was not remarkable when examined
independently from the leukemias and thus not evidence of
carcinogenicity in isolation. The liver tumors observed in male and
female mice were considered treatment-related; however, the tumors
could not be solely attributed to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol exposure
because the investigators did not account for known carcinogenic
contaminants of commercial 2,4,6-trichlorophenol solutions that may
have contributed to the induction of the liver tumors. These
carcinogenic contaminants would not be present when 2,4,6-
trichlorophenol is formed through metabolism; therefore, these data
were not considered strong evidence of carcinogenicity and did not
support a linear approach to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol cancer
quantification for exposure resulting from pydiflumetofen use. The
literature also did not suggest 2,4,6-trichlorophenol was a mutagenic
concern in vivo.
    Based on the limited evidence of carcinogenicity and mutagenicity
for the metabolite, the EPA concluded that using the RfD approach with
the chronic dietary POD selected for the pydiflumetofen dietary
assessment would be adequate for assessing direct dietary exposure to
2,4,6-trichlorophenol from the proposed pydiflumetofen uses. Because
the chronic POD selected for pydiflumetofen is 66 and 165x lower than
the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol dose (on a molar basis) that elicited tumors
in rats and mice, respectively, this approach will be protective of
potential carcinogenicity from exposure to the metabolite.
Consequently, a separate cancer dietary assessment for 2,4,6-
trichlorophenol is not warranted at this time.

section and the nature of the adverse effects caused by pydiflumetofen
and its metabolite 2,4,6-triclorophenol, as well as the no-observed-
adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for
derivation of reference values for risk assessment.

PODs are developed based on a careful analysis of the doses in each
toxicological study to determine the dose at which no adverse effects
are observed (the NOAEL) and the lowest dose at which adverse effects
of concern are identified (the LOAEL). Uncertainty/safety factors are
used in conjunction with the POD to calculate a safe exposure level--
generally referred to as a population-adjusted dose (PAD) or a
reference dose (RfD)--and a safe margin of exposure (MOE). For non-
threshold risks, the Agency assumes that any amount of exposure will
lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the Agency estimates risk in terms
of the probability of an occurrence of the adverse effect expected in a
lifetime. For more information on the general principles EPA uses in
risk characterization and a complete description of the risk assessment
process, see http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/assessing-human-health-risk-pesticides.
    A summary of the toxicological endpoints for pydiflumetofen used
for human risk assessment is shown in Table 1 of this unit. Because the
Agency concludes that that the pydiflumetofen toxicity database
accounts for 2,4,6-trichlorophenol toxicity that would result from
exposure to pydiflumetofen, that exposure to the metabolite is not more
toxic than direct exposure to pydiflumetofen, and that there is
insufficient information to warrant a separate cancer assessment of the
metabolite at this time, EPA concludes that the endpoints for
pydiflumetofen will be protective of effects from exposure to the
metabolite 2,4,6-trichlorophenol.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary
exposure to pydiflumetofen, EPA considered exposure under the
petitioned-for tolerances. EPA assessed dietary exposures from
pydiflumetofen in food as follows:
    i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk
assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide, if a toxicological
study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring
as a result of a 1-day or single exposure.
    Such effects were identified for pydiflumetofen. In estimating
acute dietary exposure, EPA used 2003-2008 food consumption data from
the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey, What We Eat in America (NHANES/WWEIA). As
to residue levels in food, EPA assumed tolerance level residues and 100
percent crop treated (PCT).
    ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure
assessment EPA used 2003-2008 food consumption data from USDA's NHANES/
WWEIA. As to residue levels in food, EPA assumed tolerance level
residues and 100 PCT.
    iii. Cancer. As discussed in Unit III.A., the Agency has determined
that a separate cancer assessment is not necessary for assessing
exposure to pydiflumetofen. Because the chronic reference dose (cRfD)
is below 10 mg/kg/day, i.e., the lowest dose known to induce
hepatocellular proliferation based on available MOA data, the chronic
assessment will be protective for assessing direct dietary exposure to
pydiflumetofen. Also discussed in Unit II.A. is the Agency's conclusion
that a separate cancer assessment is not

required for assessing exposure to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (free and
conjugated) and the cRfD will be protective of potential carcinogenic
effects.
    iv. Anticipated residue and PCT information. EPA did not use
anticipated residue or PCT information in the dietary assessment for
pydiflumetofen. Tolerance level residues and 100 PCT were assumed for
all food commodities.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The Agency used screening
level water exposure models in the dietary exposure analysis and risk
assessment for pydiflumetofen and its degradate SYN545547 in drinking
water using a total toxic residues approach. These simulation models
take into account data on the physical, chemical, and fate/transport
characteristics of pydiflumetofen and degradate SYN545547. Further
information regarding EPA drinking water models used in pesticide
exposure assessment can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/about-water-exposure-models-used-pesticide.
    Based on the Pesticides Water Calculator (PWC) modeling, the
estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) of pydiflumetofen for
acute exposures are estimated to be 17 parts per billion (ppb) for
surface water and 95 ppb for ground water and for chronic exposures are
estimated to be 3.62 ppb for surface water and 93.4 ppb for ground
water.
    Modeled estimates of drinking water concentrations were directly
entered into the dietary exposure model. For the acute dietary risk
assessment, the water concentration value of 95 ppb was used to assess
the contribution to drinking water.
    For the chronic dietary risk assessment, the water concentration of
value 93.4 ppb was used to assess the contribution to drinking water.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control,
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets).
    Pydiflumetofen is proposed for the following uses that could result
in residential exposures: Golf course turf and ornamentals in
greenhouses, nurseries, fields, and outdoor residential landscapes. EPA
assessed residential exposure using the following assumptions:
Residential handler exposures are not expected since the proposed
residential uses require that handlers wear specific clothing (e.g.,
long-sleeved shirt and long pants; shoes plus socks) and/or personal
protective equipment, and the turf and ornamental use labels will
indicate that the product is intended for use by professional
applicators, while the crop use labels will include the statement ``Not
for residential use.'' As a result, a residential handler assessment
was not conducted. There is the potential for residential short-term
post-application exposure for individuals exposed as a result of being
in an environment that has been previously treated with pydiflumetofen.
    The quantitative exposure/risk assessment for residential post-
application exposures is based on the short-term dermal exposure from
contact with residues on treated golf course turf while golfing for
adults, children 6 to less than 11 years old, and children 11 to less
than 16 years old, and short-term dermal exposure from post-application
activities with treated ornamental plants for adults and for children
ages 6 to less than 11. Intermediate-term exposures are not expected.
    Further information regarding EPA standard assumptions and generic
inputs for residential exposures may be found at http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/standard-operating-procedures-residential-pesticide.
    4. 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 found pydiflumetofen to share a common mechanism of
toxicity with any other substances, and although pydiflumetofen
metabolizes into 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, this metabolite does not appear
to be produced by other registered pesticides. For the purposes of this
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that pydiflumetofen does
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 http://www2.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/cumulative-assessment-risk-pesticides.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA
shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) 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 database on toxicity
and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a
different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This
additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA Safety
Factor (SF). In applying this provision, EPA either retains the default
value of 10X, or uses a different additional safety factor when
reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a different
factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There was no evidence of
fetal sensitivity or toxicity in rat and rabbit developmental studies;
however, quantitative offspring sensitivity was noted in the 2-
generation reproduction study. Pup body weight depression starting on
day 4 of lactation and persisting into adulthood was observed at doses
that did not elicit an adverse response in the parental rats. Although
body weight was depressed in these animals after maturity and during
the mating and post-mating period (specifically in males), it was
considered evidence of offspring susceptibility because the lower body
weight was a result of impaired growth in the pups. Reduced pup weight,
reduced litter size, and increased liver and spleen weight in offspring
was also noted following prenatal and perinatal exposure to the
pydiflumetofen metabolite, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. PODs were selected
for each exposure scenario to be protective of the parent and
metabolite offspring toxicity and offspring susceptibility in the risk
evaluation.
    3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show the
safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the
FQPA SF were reduced to 1x. That decision is based on the following
findings:
    i. The toxicity database for pydiflumetofen is complete.
    ii. Regarding neurotoxicity, evidence of behavioral changes in the
pydiflumetofen toxicity database was limited to adult rats in the acute
neurotoxicity study (ACN). Female rats exhibited depressed locomotor
activity in the form of fewer number of rears and less distance
traveled following acute exposure to doses of pydiflumetofen >300 mg/kg
(3x to 30x higher than the PODs selected for risk assessment). Male

rats did not exhibit any symptoms of neurotoxicity following acute
exposure up to 2000 mg/kg/day. No evidence of neurotoxicity was
observed in the subchronic rat and dog dietary studies that included
additional detailed functional observations to identify neurological
impairment nor in the routine clinical observations of the chronic
studies and the guideline requirement for an subchronic neurotoxicity
(SCN) study was waived. The concern for neurotoxicity in sensitive
populations is low because the behavioral effects observed in the acute
neurotoxicity studies have well-defined NOAEL/LOAELs, the PODs selected
for risk assessment are protective of the acute behavioral change
observed in females, there were no corresponding neuropathology changes
in females exhibiting decreased locomotor activity, and there was no
evidence of neurotoxicity following repeat-dose exposure.
    iii. There was evidence of quantitative offspring sensitivity in
the 2-generation reproduction study; however, as noted in Section D.2.,
PODs were selected for each exposure scenario to be protective of the
offspring susceptibility in the risk evaluation.
    iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure
databases. The dietary food exposure assessments were performed based
on 100 PCT and tolerance-level residues. EPA made conservative
(protective) assumptions in the ground and surface water modeling used
to assess exposure to pydiflumetofen in drinking water. EPA used
similarly conservative assumptions to assess post-application exposure
of children. These assessments will not underestimate the exposure and
risks posed by pydiflumetofen.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    EPA determines whether acute and chronic dietary pesticide
exposures are safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the
acute PAD (aPAD) and chronic PAD (cPAD). For linear cancer risks, EPA
calculates the lifetime probability of acquiring cancer given the
estimated aggregate exposure. Short-, intermediate-, and chronic-term
risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate food, water,
and residential exposure to the appropriate PODs to ensure that an
adequate MOE exists.
    1. Acute risk. Using the exposure assumptions discussed in this
unit for acute exposure, the acute dietary exposure from food and water
to pydiflumetofen will occupy 8.5% of the aPAD at the 95th percentile
of exposure for children 3-5 years old, the population group receiving
the greatest exposure.
    2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to
pydiflumetofen from food and water will utilize 21% of the cPAD for
children 3-5 years old, the population group receiving the greatest
exposure. Based on the explanation in Unit III.C.3., regarding
residential use patterns, chronic residential exposure to residues of
pydiflumetofen is not expected.
    3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into
account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food
and water (considered to be a background exposure level).
    Pydiflumetofen is currently registered for uses that could result
in short-term residential exposure, and the Agency has determined that
it is appropriate to aggregate chronic exposure through food and water
with short-term residential exposures to pydiflumetofen.
    Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for short-
term exposures, EPA has concluded the combined short-term food, water,
and residential exposures result in aggregate MOEs of 400 for adults,
590 for children 6 to less than 11 years old, and 2,500 for children 11
to less than 16 years old. Because EPA's level of concern for
pydiflumetofen is a MOE of 100 or below, these MOEs are not of concern.
    4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure
takes into account intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic
exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure
level).
    Intermediate-term adverse effects were identified; however,
pydiflumetofen is not registered for any use patterns that would result
in intermediate-term residential exposure. Intermediate-term risk is
assessed based on intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic
dietary exposure. Because there is no intermediate-term residential
exposure and chronic dietary exposure has already been assessed under
the appropriately protective cPAD (which is at least as protective as
the POD used to assess intermediate-term risk), no further assessment
of intermediate-term risk is necessary, and EPA relies on the chronic
dietary risk assessment for evaluating intermediate-term risk for
pydiflumetofen.
    5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. As discussed in Unit
III., the Agency has concluded that regulating on the chronic reference
dose will be protective of potential carcinogenicity from exposure to
pydiflumetofen. Because the chronic risk assessment did not exceed the
Agency's level of concern, the Agency concludes there is not an
aggregate cancer risk from exposure to pydiflumetofen.
    6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the general population or to infants and children from aggregate
exposure to pydiflumetofen residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Analytical multi-residue method QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap,
Effective, Rugged, and Safe) as described in Eurofins validation study
S14-05402 was independently validated in the following crop matrices:
lettuce (high water content), wheat grain (high starch content), oil
seed rape (high oil content) and coffee bean (difficult commodity).
QuEChERS has been proposed as the enforcement analytical method for
plant commodities.
    The livestock analytical method was derived from the QuEChERS (EN
15662:2009-02) multi-residue method. It is based on extraction and
clean-up procedures, and subsequent LC-MS/MS determination.
    The method may be requested from: Chief, Analytical Chemistry
Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD
20755-5350; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address:
[email protected].

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 any MRLs for pydiflumetofen at this
time.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances

    The applicant requested a few tolerances on commodities that EPA
does not consider to be food or feed items (``corn, sweet, cannery
waste,'' ``grape, wet pomace,'' ``potato, dried pulp,'' ``tomato, dried
pomace,'' and ``tomato, wet pomace''); therefore, tolerances are
unnecessary. With respect to rye grain, the applicant proposed a
tolerance based on barley residue data, but the Agency determined that
translating the rye grain tolerance from wheat residue data was more
appropriate. For the petitioner-proposed tolerances for soybean forage
and hay, there is a feeding restriction on the label, which makes these
tolerances unnecessary; therefore, the Agency is not establishing
tolerances for those two commodities. The pop corn stover tolerance was
revised due to only pop corn stover residues used. For the oat grain
and peanut hay tolerances, the petitioner included residues from both
formulations, whereas EPA assessed the emulsifiable concentrate (EC)
and soluble concentrate (SC) separately to determine if there was a
formulation difference and set the tolerance at the higher level to
cover residues from either formulation.
    Although the petitioner requested tolerances for livestock
commodities based on the aggregate residues of the parent and
metabolite, EPA is establishing tolerances for livestock commodities
based only on measuring residues of the parent compound, in order to
harmonize tolerances with Canada. EPA is establishing a meat byproduct
tolerance, which covers residues found in liver and kidney, instead of
separate liver and kidney tolerances since separate tolerances are not
needed. A tolerance for Grain, Cereal, Forage, Fodder and Straw, Group
16 was not set since residue data among the representative commodities
varied by more than a factor of five; instead, EPA is establishing
individual tolerances. The Agency used the Langmuir model to determine
the tolerances for livestock tissue and milk. The milk tolerance was
raised to harmonize with Canada's MRLs and in effect would cover the
expected cream residues. With respect to wheat germ, milled byproducts,
and field corn flour, the median concentration factor was used by the
Agency which resulted in different tolerances than those proposed by
the petitioner. In addition, EPA has modified some of the commodity
definitions, and numerical expression of the tolerance values in order
to conform to current Agency policy on significant figures.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of
pydiflumetofen, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the
following commodities. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified
below is to be determined by measuring only pydiflumetofen (3-
(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-
trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide) in or on the

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes tolerances 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), nor is it considered a
regulatory action under Executive Order 13771, entitled ``Reducing
Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' (82 FR 9339, February 3,
2017). 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 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).

VII. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it makes the necessary updates for airspace areas within
the National Airspace System.

History

    Federal Aviation Administration Airspace Order 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1, is published yearly. Amendments referred to as ``effective date
straddling amendments'' were published under Order 7400.11A (dated
August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016), but became effective
under Order 7400.11B (dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017). This action incorporates these rules into the current FAA Order
7400.11B.
    Accordingly, as this is an administrative correction to update
final rule amendments into FAA Order 7400.11B, notice and public
procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary. Also, to bring these
rules and legal descriptions current, I find that good cause exists,
under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), for making this amendment effective in less than
30 days.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 to incorporate certain final rules into the current FAA Order
7400.11B, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3,
2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which are depicted on
aeronautical charts.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 as
