                            Dimethenamid-P (120051)
                     Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)
                            Date: January 19, 2016

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?
 Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.
 Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.
What does it contain?
 Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.
 Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used on.
 Available pesticide usage information from states that produce 80% of crop acres planted in the United States, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases, depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.
 Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural crop.
 Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).
What assumptions can I make about the reported data?
 Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 & <1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of 1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)
 Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, & rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.  If the estimated value is less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.
 Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.
What are the data sources used?
 United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS)  -  pesticide usage data from 2005 to 2014.  NASS data are based on surveys that focus on the top-producing states that together account for the majority of U.S. acres or production of the surveyed commodity.  NASS aims to cover at a minimum 80 percent of the targeted fruit, vegetable, and field crop acres planted in the United States. Farm level data are combined during summary and, pending compliance with disclosure rules, published at the state and national levels.  NASS collects agricultural usage data for various crops on a rotating schedule.
 Private pesticide market research  -  pesticide usage data from 2005 to 2013.  The Private Pesticide Market Research data is also a survey that covers pesticide usage on agricultural crops.  The survey data accounts for at least 80 percent of US acres/production of the surveyed commodities.  Surveys are conducted annually.
 California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data for 2005 to 2012. The PUR database contains detailed records and summaries of agricultural applications of pesticides on crops that are obtained from a census and published annually.
What are the limitations to the data?
 Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).
 Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply zero usage.
 Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the SLUA.
 Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control, etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to receive these estimates.
 Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30885; Amdt. No. 3520]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective February 13, 2013. The compliance date
for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of February 13, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For

information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    Availability_All SIAPs are available online free of charge. Visit
nfdc.faa.gov to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP copies may be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Programs
Division, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

for master of self-propelled vessels of less than 100 GRT for mariners
who hold national endorsements for mate of inspected self-propelled
vessels of 200 GRT or more. The Coast Guard will use applicable
regulations and this policy to evaluate whether mariners may be issued
an endorsement for master of self-propelled vessels of less than 100
GRT.

DATES: The policies announced in the policy letter are effective as of
August 18, 2021.

ADDRESSES: To view the policy letter mentioned in this notice, search

(CG-MMC-2), Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As specified in 46 CFR 15.901(a), an
individual holding an MMC endorsed as mate or pilot of inspected self-
propelled

vessels of over 200 gross registered tons (GRT) is authorized to serve
as master on inspected vessels of less than 100 GRT within any
restrictions on their merchant mariner credential (MMC). The Coast
Guard will use the Policy Letter ``Issuance of Endorsements for Master
of Self-Propelled Vessels of Less Than 100 GRT to Mariners Holding
Endorsements as Mate of Self-Propelled Vessels of 200 GRT or More'' and
46 CFR 15.901 in issuing endorsements for mariners to serve as a master
on vessels less than 100 GRT. The Coast Guard issued this policy letter
to clarify the process for the issuance of national officer
endorsements for master of self-propelled vessels of less than 100 GRT
for mariners who hold national endorsements for mate of inspected self-
propelled vessels of 200 GRT or more.
    For mariners holding a MMC endorsement that authorizes service as
mate on inspected self-propelled vessels of 200 GRT or more, the Coast
Guard may include in the mariner's MMC a national endorsement as master
of self-propelled vessels of less than 100 GRT. This will apply to the
following national endorsements:
    (1) Chief Mate of Self-Propelled Vessels of Unlimited Tonnage;
    (2) Second Mate of Self-Propelled Vessels of Unlimited Tonnage;
    (3) Third Mate of Self-Propelled Vessels of Unlimited Tonnage;
    (4) Mate of Self-Propelled Vessels of Less Than 1,600 GRT;
    (5) Mate of Self-Propelled Vessels of Less Than 500 GRT;
    (6) Chief Mate (OSV);
    (7) Mate (OSV); and
    (8) Mate (Pilot) of Towing Vessels.
    Mariners holding one of the endorsements above authorizing service
on either near-coastal waters or oceans will be issued an endorsement
as Master of Near Coastal Self-Propelled Vessels of Less Than 100 GRT.
Mariners holding one of the endorsements above for inland waters or for
Great Lakes and inland waters will be issued a master less than 100 GRT
endorsement with the same route as their mate endorsement. Mariners
holding endorsements as Chief Mate (OSV) and Mate (OSV) will be issued
endorsements as master of less than 100 GRT that are not restricted to
offshore supply vessels. Mariners holding endorsements as Mate (Pilot)
of Towing Vessels will be issued endorsements as master of less than
100 GRT that are not restricted to towing vessels. All other
restrictions on the mariner's mate endorsement will apply to the
endorsement for master for less than 100 GRT.
    Mariners seeking to add the master less than 100 GRT endorsement to
their MMCs, must specifically apply for it in order for the Coast Guard
to add the endorsement to their credential. However, mariners holding
one of the endorsements listed in above are not required to have the
endorsement as master in their MMC in order to serve as master on an
inspected vessel of less than 100 GRT. As specified in 46 CFR
15.901(a), any mariner holding an endorsement authorizing service as
mate on an inspected vessel of 200 GRT or more may serve as master on a
vessel of less than 100 GRT on the same route as their equivalent mate
endorsement.
    This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

II. Background and Statutory Findings

    In the Federal Register of April 7, 2010 (75 FR 17715) (FRL-8810-
7), 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 tolerance
petition (PP 9G7656) by Fine Agrochemicals, Ltd., c/o SciReg, Inc.,
12733 Director's Loop, Woodbridge, VA, 22192. The petition requested
that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing a temporary exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of prohydrojasmon,
propyl-3-oxo-2-pentylcyclo-pentylacetate, (PDJ), for its use in
accordance with the terms of Experimental Use Permit (EUP) No. 62097-
EUP-R. This notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by the
petitioner Fine Agrochemicals, Ltd., c/o SciReg, Inc., which is
available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no
comments received in response to the notice of filing.
    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(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. Pursuant to section 408(c)(2)(B) of FFDCA, in
establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in
section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA, which require 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....'' Additionally, section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA requires that
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 performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from
aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. First, EPA determines the
toxicity of pesticides. Second, EPA examines exposure to the pesticide
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings.

III. Toxicological Profile

    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability
and the relationship of this information 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.
    PDJ is a synthetically made plant growth regulator which is both
structurally similar and functionally identical to jasmonic acid (JA),
a naturally occurring plant regulator present in all vascular (higher)
plants. The jasomates, of which JA is a member, is a group of plant
hormones involved in multiple stages of plant development and defense,
including the ability to stimulate fruit ripening (Creelman and Mullet,
et al., 1995). The highest levels of naturally occurring JA are found
in actively growing plant tissues such as leaves, flowers, and
developing fruit (Creelman and Mullet, et al., 1995; Mason et al.,
1992), thus JA has always been a natural component of diets containing
plant materials. To date, there have been no reported toxic effects
associated with the consumption of JA in fruits and vegetables.
    PDJ, a synthetic version of JA, is expected to behave in the same
manner and have the same low toxicity profile as JA since it is
structurally similar and functionally identical to naturally occurring
JA. Studies submitted by the applicant and reviewed by EPA indicate
that PDJ is not acutely toxic. No toxic endpoints were established, and
no significant toxicological effects were observed in any of the acute
toxicity studies. In addition, studies submitted indicate that PDJ is
not genotoxic, has no subchronic toxic effects, and is not a
developmental toxicant. Summaries of the toxicological data submitted
in support of this temporary exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance follow.

A. Acute Toxicity

     Acute toxicity studies on the technical grade active ingredient
(TGAI) for PDJ, containing 97.98% PDJ, confirm

a low toxicity profile. The acute toxicity data show virtual
nontoxicity for all routes of exposure and it can be concluded that any
dietary risks associated with this plant regulator would be negligible.
    1. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) in rats was
greater than 5,000 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) bodyweight. There
were no observed toxicological effects on the test subjects in the
acute oral study submitted (MRID No. 47927825). PDJ is classified as
Toxicity Category IV for acute oral toxicity.
    2. The acute dermal LD50 in rats was greater than 2,000
mg/kg bodyweight (MRID 47927826). PDJ is classified as Toxicity
Category III for acute dermal toxicity.
    3. The acute inhalation median lethal concentration
(LC50) was greater than 2.8 milligrams per liter (mg/L) in
rats and showed no significant inhalation toxicity (MRID 47927827). PDJ
is classified as Toxicity Category IV for acute inhalation toxicity.
    4. A primary eye irritation study on rabbits indicates that PDJ is
minimally irritating to the eye (MRID 47927828). PDJ is classified as
Toxicity Category IV for primary eye irritation.
    5. A skin irritation study on rabbits indicates that PDJ is not
irritating to the skin (MRID 47927829). PDJ is classified as Toxicity
Category IV for primary skin irritation.
    6. Data indicate that PDJ is not a dermal sensitizer (MRID
47927830).

B. Mutagenicity

    Two mutagenicity studies, using the TGAI of PDJ (97.98% PDJ) as the
test substance, were performed. These studies are sufficient to confirm
that there are no expected dietary or non-occupational risks of
mutagenicity with regard to new food uses.
    1. A Bacterial Reverse Gene Mutation Test (MRID No. 47927833)
investigating doses of test substance up to those that were cytotoxic,
both with and without metabolic S9 activation, found no incidences of a
2-fold or greater increase in the number of revertants compared to the
corresponding solvent control. Therefore, PDJ is considered to be non-
mutagenic under the conditions of this assay.
    2. An in vitro Mammalian Cell Chromosome Aberration Test (MRID No.
47927834) tested PDJ genotoxicity on Chinese hamster lung cells (CHL/
IU) up to the cytotoxic dose level (80 micrograms per milliliter
[[micro]g/mL], based on reduced mitotic activity) without S9
activation, and up to the limit concentration of 5,000 [micro]g/mL with
S9 activation. None of the test substance concentrations induced a
significant increase in the incidence of cells with chromosomal
abnormalities, either in the absence or presence of S9 activation. In
both experiments, the fraction of cells with chromosomal aberrations
was below 5%, indicating a negative response of the test substance.
There was also no indication of a dose-response effect either with or
without metabolic activation. All of the negative, solvent, and
positive controls gave appropriate responses. Therefore, under the
conditions of this assay, PDJ is considered to be non-mutagenic and
does not cause chromosome aberrations.

C. Subchronic Toxicity

     In a subchronic toxicity study using the TGAI of PDJ (97.98% PDJ)
as the test substance, no clinically or toxicologically significant
effects were found in any treatment group (MRID 47927831). Therefore,
the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for PDJ has been
established as the highest test substance dose, 10,000 parts per
million (ppm) (equivalent to 566 mg/kg bw/day for male test animals and
587 mg/kg bw/day for female test animals). A lowest observed adverse
effect level (LOAEL) was not established, suggesting that the test
animals could have tolerated a higher dose. In sum, the data submitted
to the Agency indicate that PDJ has no subchronic toxicological effect.

D. Developmental Toxicity

     In a developmental toxicity study, using the TGAI of PDJ (97.98%
PDJ) as the test substance (MRID 47927832), there were no treatment-
related effects found at necropsy in maternal animals nor were there
effects on copra lutei, number of implantations, sex ratio, fetal body
weight, or preimplantation embryonic mortality. The Agency does not
consider the transient decrease in body weight or food intake as
adverse and establishes the NOAEL for this study as 500 mg/kg bw/day. A
LOAEL was not identified for maternal effects, suggesting that the test
animals could have tolerated a higher dose. No treatment-related
developmental effects were found on external examination of the
fetuses. Visceral examination showed a slight increase in the incidence
of thymic remnants; however, the increase was within the range of the
performing laboratories historical control data. Therefore, the Agency
does not consider this a treatment-related effect. There was also a
slight increase in the incidence of a 14th rib, a common variation in
this strain of rat and is therefore not considered an adverse effect.
It was not accompanied by an increased incidence of abnormal embryos,
either on external, skeletal, or visceral examination, and did not
appear at a higher than normal rate. Based on the study results, the
developmental effects NOAEL for the study is the highest dose tested
500 mg/kg bw/day. A LOAEL was not identified for developmental effects,
suggesting that the test animals could have tolerated a higher dose. In
sum, the data submitted to the Agency indicate that PDJ is not a
developmental toxicant.

IV. Aggregate Exposures

    In examining aggregate exposure, section 408 of FFDCA directs EPA
to consider available information concerning exposures from the
pesticide residue in food and all other non-occupational exposures,
including drinking water from ground water or surface water and
exposure through pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or buildings
(residential and other indoor uses).

A. Dietary Exposure

    Dietary exposure to the residues of PDJ is expected to be
insignificant, even in the event of exposure. Based on subchronic
toxicity data submitted in support of this petition, the Agency has
calculated the possibility of dietary exposure and concludes that in a
worst case scenario, such as no degradation, PDJ residues consumed by a
70 kg person are four orders of magnitude below the NOAEL that was
calculated for this compound (EPA, 2010). Moreover, based on the fate
and distribution data (absorption/desorption, hydrolysis,
photodegredation in water, and aerobic soil metabolism) submitted by
the applicant and reviewed by EPA, PDJ, when applied to plant material
such as fruit and foliage, is expected to degrade rapidly, with
calculated environmental concentrations ranging from 0.77 to 0.06 ppm
on the day of application and declining to 0.0 by two days post
application. In addition, these studies indicate that PDJ is relatively
unstable in the environment with an aerobic soil half-life of 1.6 - 2.3
hours, and upon consumption breaks down under gastric condition with a
half-life of 0.8 days.
    1. Food. PDJ is structurally similar to the naturally occurring
plant growth regulator JA. JA is naturally present in fruits and
vegetables at various levels, generally not exceeding 10uM (2ppm), and
has always been a component of any diet containing plant materials
(Creelman and Mullet, 1995; Mason et al., 1992). Dietary exposure to
residues of PDJ via exposure to treated fruit or foliage (e.g. apples)
is not expected to exist above background levels of

naturally occurring JA. The maximum application rate of PDJ will be
0.009 pounds of active ingredient per acre (lbs ai/A) or 200 parts per
million active ingredient per acre (ppm ai/A). Using the Terrestrial
Exposure Model (T-REX; USEPA), the Agency calculated that, in a
theoretical application at the maximum rate, residue levels of PDJ on
grasses, broadleaf foliage, fruits, pods, and seeds will range from
0.77 to 0.06 ppm on the day of application and decline to 0.0 ppm by 2
days post application (EPA, 2010). Given PDJ's expected short-lived
presence on vegetation, no significant pesticidal residues are
anticipated for harvested foods. Furthermore, PDJ is relatively
unstable in the environment with an aerobic soil half-life of 1.6 - 2.3
hours, and upon consumption breaks down under gastric condition with a
half-life of 0.8 days.
    2. Drinking water exposure. Exposure of humans to PDJ in drinking
water is unlikely since products are labeled for application directly
to terrestrial plants and because data demonstrate a soil half-life for
this chemical from 1.6-2.3 hours, as well as rapid degradation in water
(EPA, 2010). Specifically, PDJ is not to be applied directly to water
or to areas where surface water is present. In addition, the Agency
estimated environmental concentrations to an aquatic site from PDJ
runoff (spray to apple trees) using the GENeric Estimated Environmental
Concentration model (GENEEC; EPA, 2001). The expected concentrations in
surface water are well below (6 to 7 orders of magnitude) the maximum
doses used in laboratory testing, where no toxic effects were seen
(e.g. Acute Oral Toxicity LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg; Developmental
Toxicity NOAEL > 500 mg/kg).

B. Other Non-Occupational Exposure

    Non-occupational exposure is not expected because PDJ is not
approved for residential uses. The active ingredient is applied
directly to commodities and degrades rapidly.
    1. Dermal exposure. Non-occupational dermal exposures to PDJ are
expected to be negligible because of its directed agricultural use as a
plant growth regulator applied to red apple varieties pre-harvest. Any
dermal exposure associated with this experimental use permit is
expected to be occupational in nature.
    2. Inhalation exposure. Non-occupational inhalation exposures are
not expected to result from the agricultural uses of PDJ. Any
inhalation exposure associated with this experimental use permit is
expected to be occupational in nature.

V. 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 PDJ to share a common mechanism of toxicity with
any other substances, and PDJ does not appear to produce a toxic
metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that PDJ 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://www.epa.gov/pesticides/
cumulative.

VI. Determination of Safety for U.S. Population, Infants and Children

    FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides that EPA shall assess the
available information about consumption patterns among infants and
children, special susceptibility of infants and children to pesticide
chemical residues, and the cumulative effects on infants and children
of the residues and other substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity. In addition, FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C) provides that EPA
shall apply an additional tenfold 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 unless EPA
determines that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants
and children. Margins of exposure (safety), which are often referred to
as uncertainty factors, are incorporated into EPA risk assessments
either directly or through the use of a margin of exposure analysis, or
by using uncertainty (safety) factors in calculating a dose level that
poses no appreciable risk.
    The acute, subchronic, and developmental toxicity data discussed in
Unit III.B. indicate that PDJ has negligible toxicity. In addition, PDJ
is structurally similar to jasmonic acid, which is ubiquitous in nature
and present in all fruits and vegetables and for which there is no
reported history of toxicological incident. Furthermore, based on
subchronic toxicity data submitted in support of this petition, the
Agency has calculated the possibility of dietary exposure and concludes
that in a worst case scenario, such as no degradation, the PDJ residues
consumed by a 70 kg person are four orders of magnitude below the NOAEL
that was calculated for this compound (EPA, 2010). Therefore, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the United States population, including infants and children, from
aggregate exposure to the residues of PDJ. This includes all
anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for which there
is reliable information. The Agency has arrived at this conclusion
because the data and information available on PDJ do not demonstrate
toxic potential to mammals. Thus, there are no threshold effects of
concern and, as a result, an additional margin of safety is not
necessary.

VII. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

     Through this action, the Agency proposes a temporary exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance of PDJ when used on red apple
varieties without any numerical limitations for residues. The Agency
has determined that residues resulting from PDJ use as a plant growth
regulator are unlikely, and that there are no significant toxicity
concerns even in the event that residues of this active ingredient are
present. As a result, the Agency has concluded that an analytical
method is not required for enforcement purposes for PDJ.

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 U.N. 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 a MRL for PDJ.

VIII. Conclusion

    Therefore, a temporary exemption is established for residues of PDJ
when used on red apple varieties pre-harvest and in accordance with
good agricultural practices.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes a tolerance 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).

XI. 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).
