II. Petition for Tolerances

    In the Federal Register of March 4, 2009 (74 FR 9397) (FRL-8401-8),
EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 9E7517)
by DowAgroSciences LLC, 9930 Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268.
The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.469 be amended by extending the
expiration date of the time-limited tolerances for residues of the
herbicide safener dichlormid; (acetamide, 2,2-dichloro-N,N-di-2-
propenyl-)-)(CAS Reg. No. 37764-25-3) in or on field corn (forage,
grain, stover), pop corn (grain, stover), and sweet corn (forage,
kernel plus cob with husks removed, stover) at 0.05 part per million
(ppm) to December 31, 2010. That notice referenced a summary of the
petition prepared by DowAgroSciences LLC, the petitioner, which is
available to the public in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov.
There were no substantive comments received in response to the notice
of filing.

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 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 the petitioned-for tolerances for residues of dichlormid;
(acetamide, 2,2-dichloro-N,N-di-2-propenyl-)-)(CAS Reg. No. 37764-25-3)
in or on field corn (forage, grain, stover), pop corn (grain, stover),
and sweet corn (forage, kernel plus cob with husks removed, stover) at
0.05 ppm. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with re-
establishing these tolerances follows.
    In a Final Rule published in the Federal Register on March 27, 2000
(65 FR 16143) (FRL-6498-7), EPA established time-limited tolerances
under 40 CFR 180.469 for residues of dichlormid in or on field corn
(forage, grain, stover), and pop corn (grain, stover) at 0.05 ppm. On
September 30, 2004, EPA published a final rule (69 FR 58285) (FRL-7680-
8) amending 40 CFR 180.469 by establishing time-limited tolerances for
residues of dichlormid in or on sweet corn (forage, kernel plus cob
with husks removed, stover) at 0.05 ppm. In a Final Rule published in
the Federal Register on December 28, 2005 (70 FR 76697) (FRL-7753-9),
the Agency extended the 40 CFR 180.469 time-limited tolerances for
residues of

dichlormid in or on field corn (forage, grain, stover), pop corn
(grain, stover), and sweet corn (forage, kernel plus cob with husks
removed, stover) at 0.05 ppm to December 31, 2008.
    In June 2008 the Agency received additional information from the
petitioner addressing the adequacy of the residue chemistry and
toxicology databases to support permanent tolerances. In order to allow
time for the Agency to review this additional information, the current
time-limited tolerances in 40 CFR 180.469 for residues of dichlormid on
field corn (forage, grain, stover), pop corn (grain, stover), and sweet
corn (forage, kernel plus cob with husks removed, stover) at 0.05 ppm
are being extended to December 31, 2010. EPA concluded in the Final
Rules listed above in this Unit, for the field, pop, and sweet corn
time-limited tolerances that all risks were below the Agency's level of
concern and there was a reasonable certainty that no harm would result
to the general population and to infants and children from aggregate
exposure to residues of dichlormid on corn. Based on the data and
information considered, the Agency reaffirms that adequate information
for the extension of the time-limited tolerances will continue to meet
the requirements of section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA and that extending
the tolerances will not change the estimated aggregate risks resulting
from the use of dichlormid, as discussed in Final Rules of March 27,
2000 (65 FR 16143) (FRL-6498-7) and September 30, 2004, (69 FR 58285)
(FRL-7680-8). Refer to the above listed Federal Register documents for
a detailed discussion of the aggregate risk assessments and
determination of safety. EPA relies upon those risk assessments and the
findings made in the Federal Register documents in support of this
action.
    Based on this information, 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 dichlormid residues.

IV. Conclusion

    Therefore, the expiration/revocation dates of the time-limited
tolerances under 40 CFR 180.469 are extended to December 31, 2010 for
residues of dichlormid; (acetamide, 2,2-dichloro-N,N-di-2-propenyl-
)(CAS Reg. No. 37764-25-3) in or on field corn (forage, grain, stover),
pop corn (grain, stover), and sweet corn (forage, kernel plus cob with
husks removed, stover) at 0.05 ppm.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of
FFDCA 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 final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule 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). This final rule 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 section 408(d) of FFDCA, 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 final rule 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 section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. 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 final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
    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 of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

VI. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
