Executive Summary

Acute and chronic aggregate dietary (food and drinking water) exposure, and risk assessments were conducted for pendimethalin using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with the Food Commodity Intake Database (DEEM-FCID) Version 3.16.  This software uses 2003-2008 food consumption data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, What We Eat in America, (NHANES/WWEIA). These analyses were conducted in support of human health risk assessment for the proposed establishing new crop subgroups based on the tolerance of existing individual commodities; existing crop conversions and expansions; section 3 new use on hop, dried cones.  This memorandum was reviewed by two peer reviewers of the DESAC as per DESAC standard operating procedures (SOP) 2012.1.

Unrefined acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments were conducted using tolerance-level residues for agricultural commodities, 100% crop treated, DEEM(R) default or empirical processing factors, and point estimates for potential drinking water residues (NY Grape scenario) that produced the highest estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs).

Acute Dietary Exposure Assessment
The acute dietary risk estimate for the highest exposed population subgroup, all infants is 1.7% of the acute population adjusted dose (aPAD) and for the general U. S. population is <1.0% of the aPAD at the 95[th] percentile.  HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100%.  There are no acute dietary risk of concern.

Chronic Dietary Exposure Assessment
The chronic dietary risk estimate for the highest exposed population subgroup, children 1-2 years old is 1.7% of the chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD) and for the general U. S. population is <1.0% of the cPAD.  HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100%.  There are no chronic dietary risk of concern.

Cancer Dietary Exposure Assessment
Pendimethalin is categorized as "Group C, possible human carcinogen." Quantification of risk using a non-linear approach; i.e., RfD/PAD, will adequately account for all chronic toxicity, including carcinogenicity, that could result from exposure to pendimethalin.

I.  Introduction

Dietary risk assessment incorporates both exposure and toxicity of a given pesticide.  For acute and chronic assessments, the risk is expressed as a percentage of a maximum acceptable dose (i.e., the dose that HED has concluded will result in no unreasonable adverse health effects).  This is referred to as the population-adjusted dose (PAD).  The PAD is equivalent to the point of departure (PoD, NOAEL, LOAEL, e.g.) divided by the required uncertainty or safety factors.

For acute and non-cancer chronic exposures, HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD.  References that discuss the acute and chronic risk assessments in more detail are available on the EPA/pesticides web site:  "Available Information on Assessing Exposure from Pesticides, A User's Guide," 21-JUN-2000, Web-link:  http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/July/Day-12/6061.pdf or see SOP 99.6 (20-AUG-1999).

The most recent dietary risk assessment for pendimethalin was conducted by Y. Barnes (05/02/2012, DP Number: D401100).

II. Residue Information

Pendimethalin (N-(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4-dimethyl-2,6-dinitrobenzenenamine) is a selective herbicide used for controlling annual grass and broadleaf weeds. It is a meristematic inhibitor that interferes with the plant's cellular division of mitosis and is generally applied early in the growing season as a pre-emergent and early post-emergent herbicide. The agricultural uses of pendimethalin have been proposed for the aqueous capsule suspension formulation of the end-use product Prowl[(R)] H2O (38.7 % a.i.; EPA Registration Number: 241-418), a 3.8 lbs. a.i./gallon liquid formulation.  Prowl [(R)] H2O can be applied via ground and/or aerial application methods. The residues of concern in plant commodities, for tolerance enforcement and risk assessment purposes is pendimethalin and its 3, 5-dinitrobenzyl alcohol metabolite (DP# 329627, W. Drew, 07/12/2006).  The assessment assumed 100% crop treated.

Currently, tolerances are established for the herbicide pendimethalin under 40 CFR: §180.361 for newly proposed subgroups based on existing tolerance for individual representative commodities: Low Growing Berry Subgroups 13-07G (0.1 ppm), Onion, bulb subgroup 3-07A (0.1 ppm), Onion, green subgroup 3-07B (0.2 ppm), and Sunflower Subgroup 20B (0.1 ppm); Crop Group conversions and expansions based on established crop group tolerance for Citrus Fruit Group 10 (0.1 ppm), Pome Fruit Group 11 (0.1 ppm), Stone Fruit Group 12 (0.1 ppm), and Fruiting Vegetable Group 8 (0.1 ppm).  A new tolerance is proposed and recommended for Hop, dried cones (0.1 ppm).

Empirical processing factors obtained from processing data were utilized for processed commodities, when available and adequate residues; in grape processed commodities are assumed to be the same as the raw commodity. DEEM(TM) 7.81 processing factors were used for the processed commodities, with the exception of grapes, wheat, and citrus (DP Number: 334173, 08/02/2007).

Tolerance-level residue values for pendimethalin were incorporated for all RACs, current and proposed.

The USDA Pesticide Data Program (PDP) monitored pesticide residues in catfish over the time period of 2008: 552 samples - maximum residue = 18 ppb, 2009: 543 samples  -  maximum residue = 13 ppb, and 2010: 384 samples  -  maximum residue = 74 ppb. Over this 3-year period, PDP analyzed ~ 1479 samples of catfish for pendimethalin residues.  Detects were found in 42 samples of catfish.  As a result, these residues in catfish (fin fish) were included in the dietary risk assessment. The chronic dietary input for catfish was an average (0.035 ppm) of PDP residue data for pendimethalin and the acute dietary input for catfish used the single highest (0.074 ppm) value PDP residue data for pendimethalin. Tolerance for crayfish established at 0.05 ppm, (D332750 and 345270 C. Olinger, 03/31/2008)

III. Percent Crop Treated Information

Percent crop treated information was not incorporated into this assessment.

IV. Drinking Water Data

The estimated drinking water residues used in the dietary risk assessment were provided by the Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED) in the following memorandum: "Tier II Estimated Surface Drinking Water Concentrations and Estimated Ground Water Concentration (EDWCs) for Pendimethalin for Use in Human Health Risk Assessment," D334061, J. Breithaupt, 05/08/2007, this DWA were to be used as expressed in the referenced email. (Email: Ibrahim Abdel-Saheb 06/18/2014) and incorporated directly into the dietary assessment. Water residues were incorporated in the DEEM-FCID into the food categories "water, direct, all sources" and "water, indirect, all sources."

These 1 in 10 year annual peak (acute), 1 in 10 year annual mean (non-cancer chronic), and 36- year annual mean concentrations (cancer chronic) were derived from modeling pendimethalin using the New York grape scenario.  Since no degradates have been identified in the metabolism studies at significant (>10 % of applied) levels, no degradates of pendimethalin were modeled in this assessment.

The drinking water models and their descriptions are available at the EPA internet site:
http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/.

V.  DEEM-FCID Program and Consumption Information

Pendimethalin acute and chronic dietary exposure assessments were conducted using the DEEM-FCID, Version 3.16, which incorporates 2003-2008 consumption data from USDA's NHANES/WWEIA.  The data are based on the reported consumption of more than 20,000 individuals over two non-consecutive survey days.  Foods "as consumed" (e.g., apple pie) are linked to EPA-defined food commodities (e.g., apples, peeled fruit - cooked; fresh or N/S; baked; or wheat flour - cooked; fresh or N/S, baked) using publicly available recipe translation files developed jointly by USDA/ARS and EPA.  For chronic exposure assessment, consumption data are averaged for the entire U.S. population and within population subgroups.  However, for acute exposure assessment, consumption data are retained as individual consumption events.  Based on analysis of the 2003-2008 WWEIA consumption data, which took into account dietary patterns and survey respondents, HED concluded that it is most appropriate to report risk for the following population subgroups: the general U.S. population, all infants (<1 year old), children 1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, adults 20-49, females 13-49, and adults 50-99 years old.

For a chronic dietary exposure assessment, an estimate of the residue level in each food or food-form (e.g., orange or orange juice) on the food commodity residue list is multiplied by the average daily consumption estimate for that food/food form to produce a residue intake estimate.  The resulting residue intake estimate for each food/food form is summed with the residue intake estimates for all other food/food forms on the commodity residue list to arrive at the total average estimated exposure.  Exposure is expressed in mg/kg body weight/day and as a percent of the cPAD.  This procedure is performed for each population subgroup.

For an acute exposure assessment, individual one-day food consumption data are used on an individual-by-individual basis.  The reported consumption amounts of each food item can be multiplied by a residue point estimate and summed to obtain a total daily pesticide exposure for a deterministic exposure assessment, or "matched" in multiple random pairings with residue values and then summed in a probabilistic assessment.  The resulting distribution of exposures is expressed as a percentage of the aPAD on both a user (i.e., only those who reported eating relevant commodities/food forms) and a per-capita (i.e., those who reported eating the relevant commodities as well as those who did not) basis.  In accordance with HED policy, per capita exposure and risk are reported for analyses performed at all levels of refinement.  However, for deterministic assessments, any significant differences in user vs. per capita exposure and risk are specifically identified and noted in the risk assessment.

VI. Toxicological Information

Pendimethalin has a low acute toxicity via the oral, dermal, or inhalation route. It is not a dermal or eye irritant; and is not a dermal sensitizer. The thyroid is a target organ for pendimethalin. Thyroid toxicity in chronic and subchronic rat and mouse studies was manifested as alterations in thyroid hormones (decreased total T4, and T3, increased percent of free T4 and T3), increased thyroid weight, and microscopic thyroid lesions (including increased thyroid follicular cell height, follicular cell hyperplasia, as well as follicular cell adenomas).

Thyroid tumors were observed in both male and female rats in a chronic/carcinogenicity study. There were no tumors observed in the carcinogenicity study in mice. The Health Effects Division (HED) Cancer Peer Review Committee classified pendimethalin (03/18/1992 and re-affirmed 11/01/99) as a "Group C", possible human carcinogen based on a statistically significant increased trend and pair-wise comparison between the high dose group and controls for thyroid follicular cell adenomas in male and female rats. The Committee also recommended a non-quantitative approach (i.e., non-linear, RfD approach) since mode of action studies are available that demonstrate that the thyroid tumors are due to a thyroid-pituitary imbalance, and also since pendimethalin was shown to be non-mutagenic in mammalian somatic cells and germ cells. The chronic risk assessment is considered to be protective of any cancer effects; therefore, a separate quantitative cancer aggregate risk assessment is not required.

The points of departure and uncertainty factors/safety factors used for dietary risk assessment are summarized in Table 2.

VII. Results/Discussion

As stated above, for the acute and the chronic (food and water) dietary assessments, HED is concerned when dietary risk exceeds 100%.  The DEEM-FCID analyses estimate the dietary exposure and risk of the general U.S. population and selected population subgroups.  The chronic results are reported for the general U.S. Population, all infants (<1 year old), children 1-2, children 3-5, children 6-12, youth 13-19, females 13-49, adults 20-49, females 13  -  49 years and adults 50-99 years. The acute results are reported for the females 13-49 years old.

Acute Dietary Exposure Assessment
The acute dietary risk estimate for the highest exposed population subgroup, all infants at (0.017009 mg/kg/day) is 1.7% of the acute population adjusted dose (aPAD) and for the general U. S. population at (0.007311 mg/kg/day) is <1.0% of the aPAD at the 95[th] percentile. HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100%.  There are no acute dietary risks of concern.

Chronic Dietary Exposure Assessment
The chronic dietary risk estimate for the highest exposed population subgroup, children 1-2 years old at (0.005043 mg/kg/day) is 1.7% of the chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD) and for the general U. S. population at (0.001592 mg/kg/day) is <1.0% of the cPAD. HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100%.  There are no chronic dietary risks of concern.

Cancer Dietary Exposure Assessment
Pendimethalin is categorized as "Group C, possible human carcinogen." Quantification of risk using a non-linear approach; i.e., RfD/PAD, will adequately account for all chronic toxicity, including carcinogenicity, that could result from exposure to pendimethalin.

A summary of the acute and chronic dietary results are reported in Table 3.

*The subpopulation(s) with the highest risk estimates are bolded.

 VIII. Characterization of Inputs/Outputs

 These acute and chronic dietary exposure and risk analyses represent a screening level conservative assessment using tolerance level residues, DEEM(TM) 7.81 processing factors or empirical processing factors were used when available.  Further refinements are not needed at this time since the reported dietary risk results are not of concern.

 IX. Conclusions

As stated above, for acute and chronic (food and water) dietary assessments, HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD. These analyses demonstrate that the registered uses for pendimethalin will not result in dietary risks of concern.  HED is confident that the acute and the chronic assessments do not underestimate exposures and risks.

40 CFR Part 62

[EPA-R08-OAR-2020-0516; FRL-10015-82--Region 8]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants; South Dakota; Control of Emissions From
Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a Clean Air Act (CAA or the ``Act'') section 111(d) state plan
submitted by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR or the ``Department'') on January 3, 2020. This plan
was submitted to fulfill the requirements of the CAA and is responsive
to the EPA's promulgation of Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times
for existing municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The South Dakota
state plan establishes performance standards and other operating
requirements for existing MSW landfills within the State of South
Dakota and provides for the implementation and enforcement of those
standards and requirements by the Department.

I. Background

    On August 29, 2016, the EPA finalized revised Standards of
Performance (NSPS) for new MSW landfills and Emission Guidelines and
Compliance Times (EG) for existing MSW landfills in 40 CFR part 60,
subparts XXX and Cf, respectively. See 81 FR 59331 and 59313. These
rulemaking actions were taken in accordance with section 111 of the
CAA. Section 111(d) of the Act requires the EPA establish procedures
for a state to submit a plan to the Agency that establishes standards
of performance for any `existing' source for any air pollutant, (1) for
which air quality criteria have not been issued or which is not
included on a list published under CAA section 108, or emitted from a
source category which is regulated under CAA section 112, but (2) to
which a new source performance standard under section 111(b) would
apply if such existing source were a `new' source. The EPA established
general provisions for submittal of state plans for 111(d) sources in
40 CFR part 60,

subpart B and has recently promulgated revised general provisions for
CAA 111(d) state plans in Subpart Ba of that same Part and Title of the
CFR. See 84 FR 32575. State plan submittals for CAA section 111(d)
sources must be consistent with the requirements of these general
provisions and also establish performance standards and other
requirements at least as stringent as those established by the relevant
EG as published in 40 CFR part 60. Upon state plan submittal, the EPA
reviews a state's plan for consistency with the requirements of the
general provisions and specific EG. If the state plan is complete and
approvable with reference to these requirements, the Agency notifies
the public, promulgates the plan in 40 CFR part 62 and delegates
implementation and enforcement of the standards and requirements of the
EG to the state under the terms of the state plan as published in the
CFR. Today's action concerns the completeness and approvability of
South Dakota's CAA section 111(d) state plan for existing MSW
landfills.
    Under the new Ba implementing regulations and Section 111(d), state
plan submittal must meet the completeness requirements of 40 CFR part
60, subpart Ba, sections 60.23a and 60.27a(g). Section 60.27a(g) states
that: ``Any plan or plan revision that a State submits to the EPA, and
that has not been determined by the EPA by the date 6 months after
receipt of the submission to have failed to meet the minimum criteria,
shall on that date be deemed by operation of law to meet such minimum
criteria.'' 40 CFR 60.27a(g)(1).
    The Secretary of the South Dakota DENR submitted a final CAA
section 111(d) state plan for existing MSW landfills on January 3, 2020
in response to the August 29, 2016 promulgation, mentioned above in
this preamble, of the EG for such designated facilities at 40 CFR part
60, subpart Cf. Six months have passed since the date of the plan
submission. Therefore, the plan is deemed to have met the completeness
criteria in 40 CFR 60.27a(g).

II. Summary and Analysis of the Plan Submittal

    The EPA has reviewed the South Dakota 111(d) plan submittal in the
context of the plan completeness and approvability requirements found
in 40 CFR part 60, subparts B, Ba and Cf, and part 62, subpart A. The
EPA is proposing with this action to determine that the submitted
section 111(d) plan meets the above cited requirements. The South
Dakota state plan submittal package includes all materials necessary to
be deemed administratively and technically complete according to the
criteria of 40 CFR 60.27a(g). South Dakota has chosen to author a state
plan document and provide all implementation and enforcement authority
for all state plan requirements through revisions to the Administrative
Rules of South Dakota (ARSD). Specifically, the State has appropriately
incorporated all EG performance standards and other source requirements
in ARSD article 74:36, section 01:19 and sections 07:94-145. Both the
State plan document, the relevant ARSD sections, and all other relevant
plan submittal materials may be found in the docket for this action.
Necessary State legal and enforcement authorities required for plan
approval are located elsewhere in South Dakota statute, rules and
regulations and have been reviewed and approved of by the EPA in the
course of prior CAA section 111(d) or 111(d)/129 state plan approvals.
See 40 CFR 62.10350-10362. Following the EPA's review of the submittal
materials, the Agency finds the State plan package to be approvable
according to all plan requirements.
    In this action, EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference (IBR)
Article 74:36, Chapter 1, section 19 and Chapter 7, sections 94-145 of
the ARSD, which became effective in the State of South Dakota on
November 25, 2019. Analysis of the submitted plan's completeness and
approvability, with reference to the relevant general and source
category specific plan requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subparts B, Ba
and Cf, and a detailed explanation of the rationale supporting this
proposed approval is available in the Technical Support Document (TSD)
in the docket of this proposed rule.

III. Proposed Action

    The EPA is proposing to approve the South Dakota section 111(d)
state plan for MSW landfills pursuant to 40 CFR part 60, subparts B,
Ba, and Cf. Therefore, the EPA is proposing to amend 40 CFR part 62,
subpart QQ to reflect this approval action. This approval is based on
the rationale provided in section II of this preamble and discussed in
detail in the TSD associated with this rulemaking action. The scope of
the proposed approval is limited to the provisions of 40 CFR parts 60
and 62. The EPA's proposed approval of the South Dakota plan is limited
to those landfills that meet the criteria established in 40 CFR part
60, subpart Cf.
    The EPA Administrator continues to retain authority for approval of
alternative methods to determine the nonmethane organic compound
concentration or a site-specific methane generation rate constant (k),
as stipulated in 40 CFR 60.30f(c).

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference
DENR rules regarding MSW landfills discussed in section II of this
preamble in accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5. The EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these materials available through the
docket for this action, EPA-R08-OAR-2020-0516, at https://www.regulations.gov, and at the EPA Region VIII Office (please contact
the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    In reviewing state plan submissions, the EPA's role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because 111(d) plan approvals are exempted
under Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National

Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with
the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the South Dakota state plan for existing MSW landfills
is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other
area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the proposed rule does
not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
