A summary of the exposure and risk estimates for all occupational handlers is included in Table 5. All handler scenarios have MOEs that are well above the LOC ( which is an MOE of less than 100) and therefore, are not of concern.

Per the Worker Protection Standard ( WPS), the minimum level of personal protective equipment and clothing for handlers is based on the acute toxicity of the end use product. RD is responsible for ensuring that PPE listed on the label is in compliance with WPS. Page 49 of 52 Table 5.

3 Maximum application rates are used. All crops are grouped in the amount of acres that might be treated in a day   for foliage of legume vegetables, the maximum application rate on the label is 0.25 lb ai/ A, however, because the crop is grouped with fruiting vegetables and legume vegetables ( which have maximum application rates of 0.57 specified on the labels), the highest rate is used, which results in a protective exposure for all crops considered in the grouping.

4 Daily Dose = [ Application Rate ( lb ai/ acre) x Amount Treated ( acre) x Unit Exposure ( mg/ lb ai handled) x Inhalation Absorption Factor ( 100 %) ]/ Body Weight ( 70kg). For agricultural crops, both Sand I term daily dose estimates are equivalent because exposure assumptions and inputs are screening level/ unrefined; the quantitative hazard estimates they are compared to incorporate duration, and inform the S and I T MOEs. For citrus post harvest treatment, the following equation was used: Daily Dose = [ 2000 ( boxes/ hr) x 90 ( lbs/ box) x 1/ 8,000 ( gal/ lbs fruit) [ for low volume, label specifies 36,000 lbs fruit treated per gal] x soln conc ( lb ai/ gal soln) x 8 ( hr/ day) x Unit Exposure ( mg/ lb ai handled)]/ Body Weight ( 70 kg)

5 MOE = NOAEL/ Inhalation Daily Dose ( S T inhalation NOAEL = 25 mg/ kg/ day and I T inhalation NOAEL = 20 mg/ kg/ day)

* Chemigation is assumed to have a similar acreage as aerial M/ L for typical field crops ( even if the crops are high acreage); this is also based on average crop circle acreage of approximately 100 120 acres/ circle with 3 circles being treated. Page 51 of 52 7.2 Occupational Postapplication Exposure and Risk The proposed occupational uses for azoxystrobin addressed in this document involve foliar applications. Therefore, there is a potential for postapplication exposure to scouts, harvesters and other field workers. However, because no appropriate dermal endpoints were identified for this exposure potential, and postapplication inhalation exposure is expected to be negligible, an occupational postapplication risk assessment was not conducted. A dislodgeable foliar residue ( DFR) study for the use of azoxystrobin on grapes was submitted to the Agency previously, but has not been employed in past assessments and is not employed in this assessment because HED determined there is no hazard via the dermal route ( Review of Acceptability of Data Submitted to Support the Registration of New Uses of Azoxystrobin, DP Num: 228739, J. Arthur, 12/ 18/ 96). Non occupational postapplication risk in residential settings is covered in Section 5.2 The azoxystrobin technical material has been classified in Toxicity Category III for acute dermal and primary eye irritation, and Toxicity Category IV for primary skin irritation. Per the WPS, a 12 hr restricted entry interval ( REI) is required for chemicals classified under Toxicity Category III or IV, which is the shortest waiting period permitted under the WPS. However, per Pesticide Regulation Notice 95 3 ( 6/ 7/ 95, http:// www. epa. gov/ opppmsd1/ PR_ Notices/ pr95 3. html), REIs may be further reduced from 12 hours if certain criteria are met for both the technical material and the different EUPs. In a previous HED memorandum ( 10182 408, 10182 415. Response to Exposure SAC Review of Request to Add Residential Turf to Azoxystrobin Labels and to Reduce the Re Entry Interval to Four Hours, DP Num: 250401, P. Hurley, 10/ 28/ 98) HED determined that the criteria established by Pesticide Regulation Notice 95 3 for technical materials have been met for technical azoxystrobin. Furthermore, RD determined that the criteria for the EUPs Abound, Heritage and most recently Amistar ( Azoxystrobin 80WG EPA File Symbol 100 RAU, T. Keigwin, 2/ 27/ 03, D286344 and Azoxystrobin 80WG EPA File Symbol 100 RAU, T. Keigwin, 6/ 17/ 03, D288826) have been met for these azoxystrobin formulations. Therefore, a 4 hour REI is acceptable for those formulations. The only other azoxystrobin formulation considered in this document, A12910C, contains the active iingredient cyproconazole as well. Because cyproconazole does not meet all the criteria for a reduced REI, A12910C does not meet the reduced REI criteria either.

8.0 DATA NEEDS 8.1 Toxicology The HIARC determined that a 28 day inhalation toxicity study ( nose only) is required due to concern for occupational/ residential exposure via this route based on the current use pattern ( the 90 day protocol should be followed with an exposure duration of 28 days). Page 52 of 52 8.2 Residue Chemistry A new Section F should be submitted requesting a tolerance for the residues of azoxystrobin at 2.0 ppm on vegetables, fruiting, Group 8 ( except tomato).

8.3 Occupational/ Residential Label Requirements Heritage ® Fungicide  Residential Settings Label Amendment 1. The draft label specifies a solution concentration, but no definitive application rate is given. The label should specify the maximum application rate ( amount ai/ unit area).

2. The draft label directs the user to mix 0.26 fl. oz. ( 2 tablespoons) of product with 1 gallon of water; however, 1 fl. oz. is equivalent to 2 tablespoons, therefore, it would follow that 0.26 fl. oz. would be approximately 0.5 tablespoons ( or 1.5 teaspoons). The label should be modified to eliminate this discrepancy.

3. The azoxystrobin label that is currently registered for use indoors in residential settings ( Azoxystrobin Mold Retardant 2.08 SC) includes on the label use restrictions ( maximum application rate up to 3.3E 5 lb ai/ ft2, every 3 months as needed, but not to exceed 4 times per year). However, unlike the currently registered label, the Heritage label amendment specifies no use restrictions; the label states, " apply as needed, when regrowth or odors are observed or as a part of your cleaning routine." The Heritage label should be amended so it has use restrictions similar to the use restrictions on the Azoxystrobin Mold Retardant label.

Extension of Comment Period

    In the August 4, 2006 NODA, EPA provided notice that it had placed
in the CAIR FIP docket allocation tables for EGU NOX annual
and EGU NOX ozone season allocations for control periods
2009-2014. The allocation tables also included inventories of heat
input and inventories of potentially exempt units. In addition, EPA
also submitted a TSD describing the allocation table data fields to the
docket.
    The EPA originally provided a 30-day period for the unit owners,
unit operators, and the public to submit objections regarding
individual units' treatment as potentially covered or not covered by
CAIR and, for units treated as potential CAIR units, the data used in
the allocation calculations and the allocations resulting from such
calculations. In response to requests from the American Forest and
Paper Association, EPA is extending the comment period for an
additional 30 days. Please refer to the August 4, 2006 notice for a
complete description of the data on which EPA is soliciting comment.
