II. Summary of Petitioned-for Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of May 23, 2014 (79 FR 29729) (FRL-9910-
29), 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
3F8220) by Dupont, 1007 Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19898. The
petition requested that 40 CFR part 180 be amended by establishing
tolerances for residues of the fungicide oxathiapiprolin, 1-(4-{4-
[(5RS)-5-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,2-oxazol-3-yl]-1,3-thiazol-
2-yl{time} -1-piperidyl)-2-[5-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-
yl] ethanone, in or on the following commodities: Brassica (cole) leafy
vegetables, head and stem brassica crop subgroup 5A at 1.5 ppm; bulb
vegetables, onion, bulb, crop subgroup 3-07A at 0.04 ppm; bulb
vegetables, onion, green crop subgroup 3-07B at 2 ppm; cucurbit
vegetables, crop group 9 at 0.2 ppm; fruiting vegetables crop group 8-
10 at 0.2 ppm; grape (import tolerance) at 0.9 ppm; ginseng root at 0.4
ppm; leafy greens crop subgroup 4A at 15 ppm; peas, edible podded at 1
ppm; peas, succulent, shelled at 0.05 ppm; and vegetable, root and
tuber vegetables, tuberous corm vegetable crop subgroup 1C at 0.01 ppm.
One comment was received on the notice of filing. EPA's response to
this comment is discussed in Unit IV.C.
    Additionally, in the Federal Register of July 17, 2015 (80 FR
42462) (FRL-9923-13), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section
408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing a correction to the filing
of a pesticide petition (PP 3F8220) by Dupont. This document corrects
the petition announced in the May 23, 2014 Federal Register by adding
the omitted entry for dried fruit vegetable at 0.9 ppm. No FFDCA-
related comments were received on this notice of filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
revised the tolerance levels of some commodities and corrected several
commodity definitions. The reasons for these changes are explained in
Unit IV.D.

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 oxathiapiprolin including
exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action.
EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with oxathiapiprolin
follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies 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.
    In the toxicity studies for oxathiapiprolin, no treatment-related
effects were seen at doses up to the limit dose. No treatment-related
effects were seen in subchronic or chronic oral toxicity (rats, mice,
or dogs), dermal toxicity, neurotoxicity, or immunotoxicity studies.
Additionally, there was no evidence of carcinogenicity in cancer
studies with rats or mice. No treatment-related effects were seen in
maternal or fetal animals in rat or rabbit developmental toxicity
studies. Treatment-related effects were observed in offspring animals
in rat reproduction studies (decreased body weight and delayed
preputial separation); however, the effects were only observed at doses
above the limit dose (1,227 milligram/kilogram/day (mg/kg/day)). Such
high doses are not relevant for human health risk. No other treatment-
related effects were observed in oral or dermal studies with
oxathiapiprolin. The lack of observed toxicity is consistent with the
low to moderate oral absorption and lack of bioaccumulation reported in
the rat metabolism studies. In acute lethality studies, exposure to
oxathiapiprolin resulted in low toxicity via the oral, dermal, and
inhalation routes of exposure. Oxathiapiprolin was not a dermal or eye
irritant, or a skin sensitizer.
    Specific information on the studies received and the nature of the
adverse effects caused by oxathiapiprolin as well as the no-observed-
adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-effect-
level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in document, ``Oxathiapiprolin--New Active
Ingredient Human Health Risk Assessment of Uses on Turf, Ornamentals,
and a Number of Crops'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0114.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    Once a pesticide's toxicological profile is determined, EPA
identifies toxicological points of departure (POD) and levels of
concern to use in evaluating the risk posed by human exposure to the
pesticide. For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, the toxicological POD is used as the basis for
derivation of reference values for risk assessment. PODs are developed
based on a careful analysis of the doses in each toxicological study to
determine the

dose at which the NOAEL and the LOAEL are identified. Uncertainty/
safety factors are used in conjunction with the POD to calculate a safe
exposure level--generally referred to as a population-adjusted dose
(PAD) or a reference dose (RfD)--and a safe margin of exposure (MOE).
For non-threshold risks, the Agency assumes that any amount of exposure
will lead to some degree of risk. Thus, the Agency estimates risk in
terms of the probability of an occurrence of the adverse effect
expected in a lifetime. For more information on the general principles
EPA uses in risk characterization and a complete description of the
risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/riskassess.htm.
    The majority of the toxicity studies for oxathiapiprolin did not
demonstrate treatment-related effects, with the exception of the
reproduction study. The effects in the reproduction study were minimal
and seen at doses (above the limit dose) not relevant for human
exposure. There were no adverse acute or chronic effects identified for
any population groups (including infants and children). Therefore, due
to the limited toxicity in the oxathiapiprolin toxicological database,
toxicity endpoints and points of departure were not selected for
oxathiapiprolin exposure scenarios and a quantitative risk assessment
was not conducted.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary
exposure to oxathiapiprolin, EPA considered exposure under the
petitioned-for tolerances. There is likely to be dietary exposure to
oxathiapiprolin from its use as a pesticide on food. Should exposure
occur, however, minimal to no risk is expected for the general
population, including infants and children, due to the low toxicity of
oxathiapiprolin.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. Exposure to
oxathiapiprolin via drinking water from the proposed uses is expected
to be minimal due to rapid foliar uptake and limited quantities
available in spray drift. No adverse effects were observed in the
submitted toxicological studies for oxathiapiprolin regardless of the
route of exposure.
    3. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary
exposure (e.g., for lawn and garden pest control, indoor pest control,
termiticides, and flea and tick control on pets).
    Oxathiapiprolin is not proposed or registered for any specific use
pattern that would result in residential handler exposure. However,
some of the uses could involve commercial application in areas where
residential post-application activities could occur (i.e., individuals
playing on treated golf courses, commercial landscapes or treated
ornamentals purchased at a retail location). Since no adverse effects
were observed for oxathiapiprolin in the submitted toxicological
studies (regardless of the route of exposure), quantitative residential
handler or post-application exposure assessments are not needed.
    4. 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
oxathiapiprolin to share a common mechanism of toxicity with any other
substances, and oxathiapiprolin does not appear to produce a toxic
metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that oxathiapiprolin 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 Web site at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA
shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) 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 on toxicity
and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a
different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This
additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the Food Quality
Protection Act Safety Factor (FQPA SF). In applying this provision, EPA
either retains the default value of 10X, or uses a different additional
safety factor when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of
a different factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. No evidence of increased
quantitative or qualitative susceptibility was seen in developmental
toxicity studies in rats and rabbits. No treatment related effects were
seen in maternal or fetal animals in the studies. However, there was
evidence of increased quantitative susceptibility in reproduction
studies in rats at doses above the limit dose. Decreased pup weight and
delayed sexual maturation (preputial separation) were seen in the
studies in the absence of maternal toxicity.
    3. Conclusion. As part of its qualitative assessment, EPA evaluated
the available toxicity and exposure data on oxathiapiprolin and
considered its validity, completeness, and reliability, as well as the
relationship of this information to human risk. EPA considers the
toxicity database to be complete and has identified no residual
uncertainty with regard to prenatal and postnatal toxicity or exposure.
No hazard was identified based on the available studies; therefore, EPA
concludes that there are no threshold effects of concern to infants,
children, or adults from oxathiapiprolin. As a result, EPA concludes
that no additional margin of exposure (safety) is necessary.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    Taking into account the available data for oxathiapiprolin, EPA has
concluded that given the lack of toxicity of this substance, no risks
of concern are expected. Therefore, 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
oxathiapiprolin.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Method 30422 (Supplement No. 1) was developed for plant
commodities, and Method 31138 was developed for livestock commodities.
Residues of oxathiapiprolin and associated metabolites are extracted
from crop or livestock commodity samples using a solution of formic
acid, water and acetonitrile, and diluted with acetonitrile and water.
Both methods use liquid chromotography with tandem mass spectrometry
(LC/MS/MS), specifically reverse-phase liquid chromatography (LC), and
detection by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).
    The FDA multi-residue methods are not suitable for detection and
enforcement of oxathiapiprolin residues or associated metabolites.
However, the European Multiresidue Method (DFG Method S19) and the
QuEChERS Multiresidue Method have shown success in some matrices.

    Adequate enforcement methodology (LC/MS/MS) is available to enforce
the tolerance expression. The method may be requested from: Chief,
Analytical Chemistry Branch, Environmental Science Center, 701 Mapes
Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email
address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
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 United Nations
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 oxathiapiprolin.

C. Response to Comments

    One comment was received in response to the notice of filing of
Dupont's application. The commenter objected to the increase of
chemical residues generally and expressed concerns about the
carcinogenic effects of chemicals on humans, particularly children. The
Agency understands the commenter's concerns regarding toxic chemicals,
their potential effects on humans, and population subgroups such as
children. Pursuant to its authority under the FFDCA, and as discussed
further in this preamble, EPA conducted a comprehensive assessment of
oxathiapiprolin, including its potential for carcinogenicity. Based on
its assessment of the available data, the Agency has concluded that
there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to residues of oxathiapiprolin.

D. Revisions to Petitioned-for Tolerances

    For grape, green onion, cucurbit vegetables, and edible podded pea,
EPA has added an additional significant figure (such as 1.0 ppm rather
than 1 ppm) to conform to EPA's convention for establishing enforceable
tolerances. Thus, the tolerance for grape was revised to 0.70, for
green onion to 2.0, for cucurbit vegetables to 0.20, and for edible-
podded pea to 1.0. This is in order to avoid the situation where
rounding of a residue result to the level of precision of the tolerance
expression would be considered non-violative (such as 1.4 ppm being
rounded to 1 ppm).
    In the case of crop group 8-10, Fruiting Vegetables, the
petitioned-for-tolerance was based on the exclusion of a tomato field
trial from the tolerance calculation. If this trial is excluded, all
representative commodities (bell pepper, non-bell pepper, and tomato)
support a crop group tolerance of 0.20 ppm. However, EPA has concluded
that this trial cannot be excluded from the tolerance derivation
because there were insufficient data to support this trial as an
outlier. Including those data in the tolerance calculation for crop
group 8-10, EPA is establishing a tolerance for crop group 8-10 at 0.50
ppm and a tolerance for dried tomatoes at 3.0 ppm. EPA is not issuing a
crop group 8-10 tolerance for dried versions of all commodities in that
crop group, as EPA's current regulations do not permit the Agency to
establish crop group processed commodity tolerances. Moreover, the
available data do not support establishing separate individual
tolerances for dried versions of the other commodities in crop group 8-
10.
    In the case of ginseng, Dupont submitted four field trials at the
good agricultural practice (GAP) proposed use rate and two field trials
at approximately two times the GAP. Based on a review of the data and
consultation with the global partners, EPA has concluded that using the
1x data is more appropriate for setting the tolerance, and is
establishing a tolerance at 0.15 ppm based on that data.
    The Agency also corrected the commodity definitions for the
following commodities: Bulb vegetables, onion, bulb, crop subgroup 3-
07A, to onion, bulb, subgroup 3-07A; bulb vegetables, onion, green crop
subgroup 3-07B to onion, green, subgroup 3-07B; brassica (cole) leafy
vegetables, head and stem brassica crop subgroup 5A to brassica, head
and stem, subgroup 5A; cucurbit vegetables, crop group 9 to vegetable,
cucurbit, group 9; fruiting vegetables crop group 8-10 to vegetable,
fruiting, group 8-10; ginseng root to ginseng; leafy vegetables (except
brassica vegetables), leafy greens crop subgroup 4A to leafy greens,
subgroup 4A; peas, edible podded to pea, edible-podded; peas,
succulent, shelled to pea, succulent shelled; and vegetable, root and
tuber vegetables, tuberous corm vegetable crop subgroup 1C, to
vegetable, tuberous and corm, subgroup 1C.
    The registrant did not petition for rotational crop tolerances.
However, EPA has concluded that for future MRL harmonization purposes,
it is appropriate to set a value of 0.10 ppm for inadvertent residues
in all other food commodities/feed commodities (other than those
covered by a tolerance as a result of use on growing crops).

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of
oxathiapiprolin, 1-(4-{4-[(5RS)-5-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,2-
oxazol-3-yl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl{time} -1-piperidyl)-2-[5-methyl-3-
(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl] ethanone, in or on the following
commodities: Brassica, head and stem, subgroup 5A at 1.5 ppm; ginseng
at 0.15 ppm; grape at 0.70 ppm; leafy greens subgroup 4A at 15 ppm;
onion, bulb, crop subgroup 3-07A at 0.04 ppm; onion, green, crop
subgroup 3-07B at 2.0 ppm; peas, edible podded at 1.0 ppm; peas,
succulent, shelled at 0.05 ppm; tomato, dried at 3.0 ppm; vegetable,
cucurbit, crop group 9 at 0.20 ppm; vegetables, fruiting, crop group 8-
10 at 0.50 ppm; and vegetable, tuberous and corm, crop subgroup 1C at
0.01 ppm.
    In addition, inadvertent tolerances are established residues of
oxathiapiprolin on all other food commodities/feed commodities (other
than those covered by a tolerance as a result of use on growing crops)
at 0.10 ppm.

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 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).
