Page 2 of 20 Executive Summary A chronic/ cancer dietary risk assessment was conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEM FCID   ) , Version 2.03, which uses food consumption data from the U. S. Department of Agriculture's Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals ( CSFII) from 1994 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed to support a FIFRA section 3 registration request from the Interregional Research Project No. 4 ( IR 4) for the fungicide, kresoxim methyl, on cucurbit vegetables.

The partially refined, tier 3 chronic/ cancer analysis incorporated average field trial residues for pome fruits, grapes, pecans and cucurbit vegetables. Exposure estimates were further refined based on available processing data for grapes and apples and screening level percent crop treated (% CT) data for many of the registered commodities. Exposure estimates for cucurbit vegetables ( the new use) were not adjusted for % CT.

Drinking water exposure was assessed directly in the DEEM analysis using estimated drinking water concentrations ( EDWCs) of kresoxim methyl and its BF 490 1 metabolite in surface water that were generated by the PRZM EXAMS model. For the chronic exposure assessment, the 1 in 10 year annual mean value of 29.32 ppb was used; for the cancer assessment, the 30 year mean value of 18.76 ppb was used.

Chronic, Non Cancer Dietary Exposure Results Chronic combined dietary exposure estimates for food and drinking water are well below HED's level of concern for non cancer effects ( i. e., < 100% of the cPAD of 0.36 mg/ kg bw/ day) for the overall U. S. population and all population subgroups. Using the DEEM FCID software, chronic dietary exposure is estimated at 0.000686 mg/ kg/ day ( 0.2% of the cPAD) for the U. S. population and 0.002135 mg/ kg/ day ( 0.6% of the cPAD) for infants less than 1 year old, the population subgroup with the highest estimated chronic dietary exposure to kresoxim methyl.

Chronic, Cancer Dietary Exposure Results HED is generally concerned when estimated cancer risk exceeds one in one million ( i. e., 10 6). For kresoxim methyl, estimated exposure from food and drinking water results in a lifetime cancer risk of 1.3 x 10 6. HED considers cancer risk estimates between 1 x 10 6 and 3 x 10 6 to fall within the acceptable range of cancer risk ( i. e., less than 10 6); therefore, the cancer risk estimate for kresoxim methyl is below HED's level of concern.

Although the estimated cancer risk is at the upper end of the acceptable range, actual cancer risk is likely significantly lower. Drinking water exposure accounts for 87% of the estimated risk. Drinking water exposure estimates are based on screening level PRZM EXAMS modeling results which are designed to provide conservative, health protective exposure estimates. Actual drinking water exposures are likely to be lower than the modeled estimates. The other significant contributor ( 11%) to estimated cancer risk is cucurbit vegetables, the proposed new use. As noted above, residue estimates for cucurbits were not adjusted to account for the percent of the crop treated with kresoxim methyl ( i. e., 100% CT was assumed). Together, drinking Kresoxim methyl Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 329370 PC Code: 129111 _____________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 3 of 20 water and cucurbits account for 98% of the estimated cancer risk. Refinements in these components would result in lower estimated cancer risk.

I. Introduction Dietary risk assessment incorporates both exposure and toxicity of a given pesticide. For noncancer chronic assessments, the risk is expressed as a percentage of a maximum acceptable dose ( i. e., the dose which HED has concluded will result in no unreasonable adverse health effects). This dose is referred to as the population adjusted dose ( PAD). The PAD is equivalent to the reference dose ( RfD) divided by the special Food Quality Protection Act ( FQPA) Safety Factor.

For non cancer chronic exposures, HED is concerned when estimated dietary risk exceeds 100% of the PAD. HED is generally concerned when estimated cancer risk exceeds one in one million ( i. e., the risk exceeds 1 x 10 6). References which discuss the 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," 6/ 21/ 2000, web link: http:// www. epa. gov/ fedrgstr/ EPA PEST/ 2000/ July/ Day 12/ 6061. pdf ; or see SOP 99.6 ( 8/ 20/ 99).

The most recent HED dietary risk assessment for kresoxim methyl was conducted by Tom Bloem ( 10/ 21/ 99, DP260302) to support the first FIFRA § 3 food uses on pome fruit, grapes and pecans.

II. Food Residue Information Residues of Concern:

The nature of the residue in pome fruits, grapes, and wheat is adequately understood, and those results may be translated to cucurbit vegetables. The residues of concern for tolerance and risk assessment purposes include kresoxim methyl, BF 490 1, BF 490 2 ( free and glucose conjugated) and BF 490 9 ( free and glucose conjugated) ( DP# 254643, T. Bloem, 5 Apr 1999).

The MARC determined that the only residue of concern in ruminant tissues for tolerance and risk assessment purposes is the metabolite, BF 490 1( DP# 254643, T. Bloem, 5 Apr 1999).

Tolerances:

Tolerances are established under 40 CFR § 180.554( a) for the combined residues of kresoximmethyl and its metabolites in or on apple pomace ( 1.0 ppm), pome fruit ( 0.5 ppm), grape ( 1.0 ppm), raisin ( 1.5 ppm) and pecans ( 0.15 ppm). Based on the review of additional field trial data for grape, HED recommended that the grape tolerance be raised to 1.2 ppm ( T. Bloem; 10/ 21/ 99; DP# 260302); however, to date, the tolerance has not been raised.

Tolerances are established under 40 CFR § 180.554( b) for residues of the metabolite, BF 490 1, in or on ruminant meat by products at 0.01 ppm. Kresoxim methyl Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 329370 PC Code: 129111 _____________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 4 of 20 IR 4 has proposed new tolerances for the combined residues of kresoxim methyl and its metabolites in or on cucurbit vegetables at 0.5 ppm. HED has reviewed residue data submitted to support the crop group tolerance and concluded that the following tolerance is appropriate, pending resolution of certain petition deficiencies [ George Kramer; 05/ 26/ 2006; DP# 328725].

Vegetable, cucurbit ( group 9).................................... 0.35 ppm Residue Data used for the Acute and Chronic Assessments:

The chronic/ cancer dietary exposure analysis incorporated combined average field trial residues of kresoxim methyl and its metabolites of concern for pome fruits, grapes, pecans ( T. Bloem; 4/ 16/ 99; DP# 255317 and T. Bloem; 10/ 21/ 99; DP# 260302) and cucurbit vegetables ( George Kramer; 05/ 26/ 2006; DP# 328725). In calculating average field trial residues, residues less than the limit of quantification ( 0.05 ppm) were assigned a value of ½ LOQ ( 0.025 ppm). The average apple field trial residue was used to compute an anticipated cattle dietary burden, which was used to calculate an anticipated residue in meat byproducts ( T. Bloem; 04/ 16/ 99; DP# 255318). Anticipated residues for apples, grapes, pears and pecans were further refined based on screening level percent crop treated (% CT) data provided by BEAD [ Kresoxim methyl Screening level Usage Analysis ( SLUA); 04/ 17/ 2006]. 100% of all other crops ( including cucurbit vegetables) were assumed to be treated with kresoxim methyl.

Based on the submitted apple and grape processing studies, concentration factors for grape juice, raisins and apple juice/ cider were reduced to 0.7, 1.4 and 0.2, respectively. Default concentration factors were used for all other commodities. The residue data used in the chronic dietary analyses are summarized below in Table 1.

Drinking Water Data The drinking water residues used in the dietary risk assessment were provided by the Environmental Fate and Effects Division ( EFED) ( Cheryl A. Sutton, DP# 326550; 05/ 22/ 2006). The residues were incorporated directly into this dietary assessment under the DEEM FCID food categories " water, direct, all sources" and " water, indirect, all sources."

The residues of concern in drinking water are kresoxim methyl and its major acid degradate/ metabolite, BF 490 1. Based on the environmental fate properties of kresoximmethyl EFED believes that the parent compound is relatively short lived and, therefore, unlikely to leach to ground water or move offsite to surface water in significant concentrations. However, BF 490 1 has the physical/ chemical characteristics of pesticides that are known to leach to ground water or to move offsite to surface water and may pose a risk of ground or surface water contamination, particularly when kresoxim methyl is applied to fields with one or more of the following characteristics: alkaline soils, low organic matter, high sand content, shallow groundwater table or nearby bodies of water.

There are no drinking water monitoring data available for kresoxim methyl or its metabolite. Estimated ground water and surface water concentrations were generated using the SCI GROW and PRZM EXAMS models, respectively. Estimated environmental concentrations ( EECs) were provided for both kresoxim methyl and BF 490 1. The PRZM EXAMS surface water modeling estimates were based on a Florida cucurbits crop scenario. The modeled EECs for ground and surface water are summarized in Table 2. Kresoxim methyl Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 329370 PC Code: 129111 _____________________________________________________________________________________________

In accordance with HED policy, the 1 in 10 year mean of 29.32 ppb was used for the chronic ( non cancer) analysis, and the 30 year mean of 18.76 ppb was used for the cancer analysis.

IV. DEEM FCID   Program and Consumption Information Kresoxim methyl chronic/ cancer dietary exposure assessments were conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model software with the Food Commodity Intake Database ( DEEMFCID   , Version 2.03), which incorporates consumption data from USDA's Continuing Surveys of Food Intakes by Individuals ( CSFII), 1994 1996 and 1998. The 1994 96, 98 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, but for acute exposure assessment are retained as individual consumption events. Based on analysis of the 1994 96, 98 CSFII 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+ years old.

For chronic dietary exposure assessments, an estimate of the residue level in each food or foodform ( 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.

V. Toxicological Information Based on toxicological considerations and the completeness of the kresoxim methyl database ( chemistry, environmental fate, and toxicology), the FQPA Safety Factor may be reduced to 1X; therefore, the PAD is identical to the RfD. HEDs level of concern is for chronic exposures greater than 100% of the PAD or Kresoxim methyl Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 329370 PC Code: 129111 _____________________________________________________________________________________________

VI. Results/ Discussion As stated above, for chronic assessments, HED is concerned when dietary risk exceeds 100% of the cPAD. The DEEM FCID   analyses estimate the dietary exposure of the U. S. population and various population subgroups. The chronic results reported in Table 4 are 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, and adults 50+ years. Cancer risk is estimated for the overall U. S. population only, in accordance with Agency policy.

Results of Chronic Dietary Exposure Analysis Kresoxim methyl chronic dietary ( food + water) exposure estimates using the DEEM FCID   software are well below HED's level of concern for the U. S. population and each of the population subgroups. Dietary exposure was estimated at 0.000686 mg/ kg/ day for the U. S. population ( 0.2% of the cPAD) and 0.002135 mg/ kg/ day ( 0.6% of the cPAD) for the most highly exposed population subgroup ( infants, < 1 year old). The estimated exposures/ risks from food and drinking water are summarized in Table 4 for all populations.

Results of Cancer Dietary Exposure Analysis The estimated exposure of the general U. S. population to kresoxim methyl is 0.000464 mg/ kg/ day. Applying the Q1* of 0.0029 ( mg/ kg/ day) 1 to the exposure value results in a lifetime cancer risk estimate of 1.3 x 10 6. HED considers cancer risk estimates between 1 x 10 6 and 3 x 10 6 to fall within the acceptable range of cancer risk ( i. e., less than 10 6); therefore, the cancer risk estimate for kresoxim methyl is below HED's level of concern.

VII. Characterization of Inputs/ Outputs The chronic/ cancer assessment for kresoxim methyl is a partially refined, tier 3 assessment which incorporates average field trial residues for all food commodities, available processing data for grapes and apples and screening level percent crop treated (% CT) data for most of the registered commodities. Based on these refinements, chronic, non cancer exposures to kresoxim methyl are estimated to be well below HED's level of concern. The estimated kresoxim methyl cancer risk is 1.3 x 10 6. Although the cancer risk is at the upper end of the acceptable range, actual cancer risk is likely significantly lower. Drinking water exposure accounts for 87% of the estimated risk. Since there are no water monitoring data available for kresoxim methyl, drinking water exposure estimates were based on screening level PRZMEXAMS surface water modeling results. The drinking water inputs may be considered conservative for the following reasons. Kresoxim methyl Dietary Exposure and Risk Assessment DP Number: 329370 PC Code: 129111 _____________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 9 of 20 · The model results assume that applications will be made at maximum application rates every year for 30 years.

· The PRZM EXAMS models are based on an actual reservoir/ watershed system in Illinois which is known to be a highly vulnerable configuration.

Based on these considerations, it is likely that actual exposure to kresoxim methyl from drinking water is somewhat lower than the estimates provided in this assessment. However, without water monitoring data, further refinement of exposure estimates is not possible.

The other significant contributor ( 11%) to estimated cancer risk is cucurbit vegetables, the proposed new use. As noted in section II ( Food Residue Information), residue estimates for cucurbits were not adjusted to account for the percent of the crop treated with kresoxim methyl ( i. e., 100% CT was assumed). Therefore, the exposure estimates for these crops likely overstate actual chronic exposures.

Together, drinking water and cucurbits account for 98% of the estimated cancer risk. Further refinements in these components would result in lower estimated cancer risk.

VIII. Conclusions A partially refined, Tier 3 chronic/ cancer dietary risk assessment was conducted using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEM FCID   ) , Version 2.03. The analysis incorporated average field trial residues for all food commodities, available processing data for grapes and apples and screening level percent crop treated (% CT) data for most of the registered commodities. Screening level PRZM EXAMS model results were used to estimate drinking water exposures to kresoxim methyl. The resulting chronic, non cancer dietary risk estimates are well below HED's level of concern for the U. S. population and all population subgroups. Estimated cancer risk is also below HED's level of concern for the U. S. population.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2017-0388; FRL-9966-21-Region 4]

Air Plan Approval; SC: Standards for Volatile Organic Compounds
and Oxides of Nitrogen

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve changes to the South Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP)
that revise several miscellaneous rules for control standards for
process industries. Specifically, changes are made to standards for
volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen. EPA is proposing to
approve portions of SIP revisions submitted by the State of South
Carolina, through the South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control, on the following dates: October 1, 2007, June
17, 2013, and January 20, 2016. These actions are being proposed
pursuant to the Clean Air Act.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 15,
2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2017-0388 at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment

Akers can be reached via telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER> or via electronic
mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document.
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at
this time.
