II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of June 28, 2021 (86 FR 33922) (FRL-10025-
08) EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
0E8846) by IR-4, North Carolina State University, 1730 Varsity Drive,
Venture IV, Suite 210, Raleigh, NC 27606. The petition requested that
40 CFR 180.532 be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of
Cyprodinil, 4-cyclopropyl-6-methyl-N-phenyl-2- pyrimidinamine, in or on
the raw agricultural commodities: Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 4-
16B, except watercress at 10 parts per million (ppm); Celtuce at 30
ppm; Fennel, Florence, fresh leaves and stalk at 30 ppm; Kohlrabi at 1
ppm; Leaf petiole vegetable subgroup 22B at 30 ppm; Leafy greens
subgroup 4-16A, except parsley, fresh leaves at 50 ppm; Lemon/lime
subgroup 10-10B at 0.6 ppm; Sugar apple at 4 ppm; Tropical and
subtropical, small fruit, inedible peel, subgroup 24A at 2 ppm; and
Vegetable, Brassica, head and stem, group 5-16 at 1 ppm. The petition
also requested to remove established tolerances for residues of
Cyprodinil, 4-cyclopropyl-6-methyl-N-phenyl-2-pyrimidinamine, in or on
the raw agricultural commodities: Brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A
at 1.0 ppm; Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B at 10.0 ppm; Leaf
petioles subgroup 4B at 30 ppm; Leafy greens subgroup 4A at 50 ppm;
Lemon at 0.60 ppm; Lime at 0.60 ppm; Longan at 2.0 ppm; Lychee at 2.0
ppm; Spanish lime at 2.0 ppm; and Turnip, greens at 10.0 ppm. That
document referenced a summary of the petition prepared by Syngenta Crop
Protection, the registrant, which is available in the docket, https://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in response to the
notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
modified the commodity definition for one of the crop groups. A
discussion of this modification can be found in section IV.C.

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 cyprodinil including exposure
resulting from the tolerances established by this action. EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks associated with cyprodinil follows.
    In an effort to streamline its publications in the Federal
Register, EPA is not reprinting sections that repeat what has been
previously published for tolerance rulemaking of the same pesticide
chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical
remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between
tolerance rulemaking and republishing the same sections is unnecessary.
EPA considers referral back to those sections as sufficient to provide
an explanation of the information EPA considered in making its safety
determination for the new rulemaking.
    EPA has previously published a number of tolerance rulemakings for
cyprodinil in which EPA concluded, based on the available information,
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm would result from
aggregate exposure to cyprodinil and established tolerances for
residues of that chemical. EPA is incorporating previously published
sections from those rulemakings as described further in this
rulemaking, as they remain unchanged.
    Toxicological profile. For a discussion of the Toxicological
Profile of cyprodinil, see Unit III.A. of the July 21, 2016 final
rulemaking (81 FR 47304) (FRL-9948-28).
    Toxicological points of departure/Levels of concern. For a summary
of the Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern for
cyprodinil used for human risk assessment, please reference Unit III.B.
of the August 17, 2012 rulemaking (77 FR 49732) (FRL-9359-7). The table
in the August 17, 2012 rulemaking included an endpoint for inhalation
short-term exposures. However, the Agency has made the assumption in
the current assessment that cyprodinil products are not for homeowner
use, has not conducted a quantitative residential handler assessment as
in previous reviews, and did not use the inhalation endpoint.
    Exposure assessment. Much of the exposure assessment remains the
same although updates have occurred to accommodate exposures from the
petitioned-for tolerance and reflect changes to the residential
exposure assessment. These updates are discussed in this section; for a
description of the rest of the EPA approach to and assumptions for the
exposure assessment, please reference Unit III.C. of the July 21, 2016
rulemaking.
    EPA's dietary exposure assessments have been updated to include the
additional exposure from the new use of cyprodinil on sugar apple and
the crop group conversions and expansions requested in this action.
Partially refined acute and chronic aggregate dietary (food and
drinking water) exposure and risk assessments were conducted using the
Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with the Food Commodity
Intake Database (DEEM-FCID) Version 3.16. The assessments used
established and recommended tolerance-level residues for some
commodities, average field trial residues for the remaining commodities
(chronic only), 100 percent crop treated (PCT), and EPA's 2018 default
processing factors (except for potato granules/flakes, potato flour,
tomato paste, tomato puree, lemon juice, apple juice, dried prune plum,
and grape juice).
    Section 408(b)(2)(E) of FFDCA authorizes EPA to use available data
and information on the anticipated residue levels of pesticide residues
in food and the actual levels of pesticide residues that have been
measured in food. If EPA relies on such information, EPA must require
pursuant to FFDCA section 408(f)(1) that data be provided 5 years after
the tolerance is established, modified, or left in effect,
demonstrating that the levels in food are not above the levels
anticipated. For the present action, EPA will issue such data call-ins
as are required by FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(E) and authorized under
FFDCA section 408(f)(1). Data will be required to be submitted no later
than 5 years from the date of issuance of these tolerances.
    Drinking water exposure. The new use does not result in an increase
in the estimated residue levels in drinking water, so EPA used the same
estimated drinking water concentrations in the acute and chronic
dietary assessments as identified in the July 2016 rulemaking.
    Non-occupational exposure. The previous review included a
residential handler assessment which is no longer applicable. All
registered cyprodinil product labels with residential use sites require
that handlers wear specific clothing (e.g., long sleeve shirt/long
pants) and/or use personal protective equipment (PPE). Therefore, the
Agency has made the assumption that these products are not for
homeowner use and has not conducted a quantitative residential handler
assessment as in previous reviews. A quantitative residential post-
application assessment was also not conducted as incidental oral
exposures are not anticipated and there is no dermal exposure endpoint.
Therefore, no residential exposures are applicable for the aggregate
risk assessment.
    Cumulative exposure. EPA has determined that cyprodinil along with
pyrimethanil form a candidate common mechanism group (CMG). This group
of pesticides is considered a candidate CMG because there is sufficient
toxicological data to suggest a common pathway. The Agency conducted a
screening-level cumulative risk assessment that indicates cumulative
dietary and residential aggregate exposures for cyprodinil and
pyrimethanil are below the agency's levels of concern. For further
information, see the document titled ``Anilinopyrimidines. Cumulative
Screening Risk Assessment'' in docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0417. No
further cumulative evaluation is necessary for cyprodinil. 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 https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-science-and-assessing-pesticide-risks/pesticide-cumulative-risk-assessment-framework.
    Safety factor for infants and children. EPA continues to conclude
that there are reliable data to support the reduction of the Food
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor. See Unit III.D. of the
July 21, 2016 rulemaking for a discussion of the Agency's rationale for
that determination.

    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 population adjusted dose
(aPAD) and chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD). Short-,
intermediate-, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing the
estimated aggregate food, water, and residential exposure to the
appropriate points of departure to ensure that an adequate margin of
exposure (MOE) exists. For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the
lifetime probability of acquiring cancer given the estimated aggregate
exposure.
    Acute dietary risks are below the Agency's level of concern of 100%
of the aPAD; they are 7.7% of the aPAD for children 1 to 2 years old,
the group with the highest exposure. Chronic dietary risks are below
the Agency's level of concern of 100% of the cPAD; they are 86% of the
cPAD for children 1 to 2 years old, the group with the highest
exposure. There are no residential exposures expected, so the acute
dietary risk estimate serves as the acute aggregate risk assessment and
the chronic dietary risk estimate serves as the chronic aggregate risk
assessment. Cyprodinil is classified as ``Not likely to be carcinogenic
to humans'', therefore, quantification of cancer risk is not required.
    Therefore, based on the risk assessments and information described
above, EPA concludes there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to the general population, or to infants and children, from
aggregate exposure to cyprodinil residues. More detailed information on
this action can be found in the ``Cyprodinil. Human Health Risk
Assessment to Support the Registration of the Proposed New Use on Sugar
Apple; and Crop Group Conversions/Expansions to Brassica, Leafy Greens,
Subgroup 4-16B; Celtuce; Fennel, Florence, Fresh Leaves and Stalk;
Kohlrabi; Leaf Petiole Vegetable Subgroup 22B; Leafy Greens Subgroup 4-
16A, Except Parsley, Fresh Leaves; Lemon/Lime Subgroup 10-10B; Tropical
and Subtropical, Small Fruit, Inedible Peel, Subgroup 24A; and
Vegetable, Brassica, Head and Stem, Group 5-16'' (hereafter ``the
Cyprodinil Human Health Risk Assessment'') in docket ID EPA-HQ-OPP-
2020-0417.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    For a discussion of the available analytical enforcement method,
see Unit IV.A. of the July 21, 2016 rulemaking.

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).
    There are no Codex MRLs for residues in/on celtuce, Florence
fennel, kohlrabi, members of the lemon/lime subgroup 10-10B, sugar
apple, or members of the tropical and subtropical, small fruit,
inedible peel, subgroup 24A; therefore, harmonization is not an issue
for these commodities.
    The U.S. tolerance for residues in/on crop subgroup 22B is
harmonized with the Codex MRL for residues in/on celery, a member of
crop subgroup 22B.
    Codex has established various MRLs for residues in/on crop groups
and crop subgroups with overlapping commodities included in crop
subgroup 4-16B and crop group 5-16. EPA is not harmonizing the
tolerances for residues in/on crop subgroup 4-16B and group 5-16 with
the Codex MRLs because the petitioner has requested harmonization with
Canadian MRLs rather than Codex MRLs since Canada is a major trading
partner for U.S. growers of those commodities.
    Codex has established MRLs for residues in/on leafy vegetables
(except Brassica leafy vegetables) and herbs, which include commodities
included in crop subgroup 4-16A, at different levels. The U.S.
tolerance for residues in/on leafy greens subgroup 4-16A, except
parsley, fresh leaves, is harmonized with the Codex MRL for residues
in/on leafy vegetables (except Brassica leafy vegetables), which
includes lettuce and spinach (the representative commodities for crop
subgroup 4-16A) and some other leafy vegetables. The subgroup
tolerances are supported by available residue data on the
representative commodities and the consistency of labeled use patterns
for commodities within subgroup 4-16A; therefore, EPA is leaving the
subgroup intact rather than pull individual commodities out to
harmonize with Codex.

C. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances

    Although the petitioner requested a tolerance for Brassica, leafy
greens, subgroup 4-16B, except watercress, EPA is establishing the
subgroup 4-16B tolerance without the exception. While EPA agrees that a
separate tolerance on watercress is appropriate due to the difference
in use patterns for Brassica, leafy greens and watercress, the existing
separate tolerance for watercress will cover the residues in watercress
resulting from use as directed on the label. Because that tolerance is
already higher, it will cover residues and there is no need to exclude
watercress from the subgroup.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of cyprodinil in
or on Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 4-16B at 10 ppm; Celtuce at 30
ppm; Fennel, Florence, fresh leaves and stalk at 30 ppm; Kohlrabi at 1
ppm; Leaf petiole vegetable subgroup 22B at 30 ppm; Leafy greens
subgroup 4-16A, except parsley, fresh leaves at 50 ppm; Lemon/lime
subgroup 10-10B at 0.6 ppm; Sugar apple at 4 ppm; Tropical and
subtropical, small fruit, inedible peel, subgroup 24A at 2 ppm; and
Vegetable, Brassica, head and stem, group 5-16 at 1 ppm. Additionally,
the following existing tolerances are removed as unnecessary due to the
establishment of the above tolerances: Brassica, head and stem,
subgroup 5A; Brassica, leafy greens, subgroup 5B; Leaf petioles
subgroup 4B; Leafy greens subgroup 4A; Lemon; Lime; Longan; Lychee;
Spanish lime; and Turnip, greens.

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 to Executive Order 13045,
entitled ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). 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 tolerances 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:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. As such, the
Agency has not attempted to describe the specific entities that this
action may apply to. Although others may be affected, this action
applies directly to the submitters of the actions addressed in this
document.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR parts 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides receipt and status reports, which cover the
period from October 2, 2017 to October 31, 2017, and consists of the
PMNs and TMEs both pending and/or expired, and the NOCs to manufacture
a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., EPA classifies a chemical
substance as either an ``existing'' chemical or a ``new'' chemical. Any
chemical substance that is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory is classified as
a ``new chemical,'' while those that are on the TSCA Inventory are
classified as an ``existing chemical.'' For more information about the
TSCA Inventory, please go to: http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/newchems/pubs/inventory.htm.
    Anyone who plans to manufacture or import a new chemical substance
for a non-exempt commercial purpose is required by TSCA section 5 to
provide EPA with a PMN, before initiating the activity. Section 5(h)(1)
of TSCA authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon application, to
manufacture (includes import) or process a new chemical substance, or a
chemical substance subject to a significant new use rule (SNUR) issued
under TSCA section 5(a), for ``test marketing'' purposes, which is
referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME. For more information
about the requirements applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3), EPA is required to publish
in the Federal Register a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application
for a TME and to publish in the Federal Register periodic reports on
the status of new chemicals under review and the receipt of NOCs to
manufacture those chemicals.

IV. Receipt and Status Reports

    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the
information in the table is the specific information provided by the
submitter, and (G) indicates that the information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI.
    For the 51 PMNs received by EPA during this period, Table 1
provides the following information (to the extent that such information
is not claimed as CBI): The EPA case number assigned to the

PMN; the date the PMN was received by EPA; the projected end date for
EPA's review of the PMN; the submitting manufacturer/importer; the
potential uses identified by the manufacturer/importer in the PMN; and
the chemical identity.

Safety Standards for Cranes and Derricks

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is planning to establish a Crane and Derrick Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee (C-DAC) under the Negotiated Rulemaking Act (NRA) and the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The Committee will include representatives of parties who would be significantly affected by the final rule.

On July 16, 2002, OSHA published a Federal Register notice of intent to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee (67 FR 46612) and requested nominations for membership. In the current Federal Register notice OSHA is asking for comments on the proposed list of fifty-five nominations.  The list can be found in the complete notice.

Please note that you may not attach materials such as studies or journal articles to your electronic comments. If you wish to include such materials, you must submit three copies to the OSHA Docket Office at the address listed above. When submitting such materials to the OSHA Docket Office, clearly identify your electronic comments by name, date, subject, and Docket Number, so that we can attach the materials to your electronic comments.

Online comments must be received by March 31, 2003 COB EST.  If you wish to commit online on the proposed list of Committee members, please enter your submission in the box below.  Thank you for your interest in worker safety and health.

Just a suggestion in reviewing how this will be established. Make the crane standard as close to the forklift as possible for cross reference and user-friendly to the industry because we have been there and done that in forklift compliance. Using the forklift standard we placed controls that helped our Plant in Bridge Crane safety concerns. We just followed the forklift standard in addressing and approaching crane training (class room and "OJT"), eatablished pre-use safety inspection for cranes and crane evaluation for licensing. We even used it for hand crane operations. Again I know OSHA has a lot to do, just a suggestion to format the standard.
