REREGISTRATION ELIGIBILITY DECISION

ENVIRONMENTAL FATE SCIENCE CHAPTER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 at 25˚C.  The chemical structure of Busan 77 (Figure 1) is as follows:

Figure 1.  Structure of Busan 77

	The required acceptable fate guideline study on hydrolysis has been submitted for Busan 77.  Other acceptable environmental fate studies have also been submitted.  The Agency is using the submitted environmental fate studies for the fate assessment of Busan 77 to fulfill the re-registration requirements.

	Busan 77, also known as WSCP, is a water-soluble, cationic ionene polymer with an average molecular weight of 3,386 g/mol.  Based on its miscibility in water and high molecular weight, volatility from water is highly unlikely.  It is also stable to both abiotic degradation (hydrolysis and photolysis) and to metabolism in soil and sediment:water systems.  In the presence of soil or sediment, tight sorption of nearly all residues was observed almost immediately.   Busan 77 was almost exclusively (96 %) found in the top two inches of 12 inch columns leached with water.  Less than 1 % was found in the leachate collected at the bottom of the columns.   These conclusions on mobility are consistent with the fact that Busan 77 is positively charged and soil/sediment is negatively charged.  As a result, Busan 77 is not expected to contaminate surface and ground waters.

	Busan 77 is not likely to bioaccumulation in fish based on a BCF value of 2.  However, in the submitted study (MRID 00159308), the fish were already stressed by high nitrite levels in the water and were not healthy.  There was more mortality in the Busan 77 treatments relative to the control.  As a result, there appears to be some acute risk to fish from Busan 77.

I.	Environmental Fate Assessment

Abiotic

	In a hydrolysis study conducted under abiotic and buffered conditions, dimethyliminio [14C] Busan 77 (specific activity of 1.183 x 104 dpm/ul) was stable in sterile aqueous buffer solutions adjusted to pH 5 (acetate), pH 7 (phosphate), and pH 9 (borate) that were incubated in darkness at 25°C ± 1°C for up to 30 days.  The hydrolysis guideline requirement (OPP 161-1) was fulfilled by this study (MRID No. 41407401).

	The photodegradation of labeled dimethyliminio[14C]Busan 77 (specific activity of 2.039 x 104 dpm/ul) was studied in sterile pH 5, 7, and 9 aqueous buffer solutions exposed to artificial light for up to 30 days.  Busan 77 was stable in pH 5 (acetate), pH 7 (phosphate), and pH 9 (borate) buffer solutions.   The study is acceptable (MRID No. 41420901).

Biotic

	The aerobic soil metabolism of Busan 77 (WSCP, 60 %) was studied using two soils (loamy sand and silt loam) coated on TLC plates.  Samples were taken at 0, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months.  Busan 77 was stable to aerobic soil metabolism and no volatiles (CO2 or organic) were detected (MRID 40165202).  The aerobic soil metabolism (162-1) study is acceptable.

The aquatic metabolism of Busan 77 was studied under aerobic (MRID 40334101, acceptable study) aquatic conditions in an acceptable study.  In the study, dimethyliminio-labeled [14C]Busan 77 (0.977 mCi/g specific activity) was applied at a nominal rate of 4.77 mg/L to a lake water-sediment system from Wisconsin and incubated under aerobic (air) conditions for up to 31 days in darkness at 25.0°C ( 2(C.  The water:sediment ratio was 10:1 (20 mL water:2 g dry wt. sediment).  The test system consisted of glass test tubes containing treated water and sediment attached to a volatile trapping system for the collection of CO2 and volatile organic compounds. Samples were collected after 0, 3, 7, 15, and 31 days.  Busan 77 was stable under aerobic aquatic conditions.  The overall recovery of radiolabeled material in the total system averaged 92.3 to 110.5 %.  Sediment percentages of applied material increased from 30.5 % at time zero to 93.5-106.6 % by 7-31 days after treatment, and water levels decreased from 66.1 % at time zero to 1.2-5.2 % by 7-31 days.  Carbon dioxide increased to a maximum of 5.4 % by 31 days.

In the anaerobic aquatic system (MRID 40165201, acceptable study), dimethyliminio-labeled [14C]Busan 77 (0.977 mCi/g specific activity) was applied at a nominal rate of 4.75 mg/L to a lake water-sediment system from Wisconsin and incubated under anaerobic (nitrogen) conditions for up to 365 days in darkness at 25.0°C ( 2(C.  The water:sediment ratio was 4.5:1 (18 mL water:4 g dry wt. sediment).  The test system consisted of screw cap bottles containing treated water and sediment attached to a volatile trapping system for the collection of CO2 and volatile organic compounds. Samples were collected after 0, 1, 14, 40, 69, 120, 162, 309, and 365 days.   Busan 77 was stable in this study also.  The overall recovery of radiolabeled material in the total system averaged 91.8 to 109.2 %.  Sediment percentages of applied material approximated the total, and water never contained more than 2.2 % of applied.  Carbon dioxide did not exceed 0.7 % of applied, and no organic volatiles were detected.

An acceptable soil column leaching study was performed using dimethyliminio-labeled [14C]Busan 77 (0.93 uCi/mg specific activity) on four agricultural soils.  These included sandy loam, silt loam, sand, and silty clay loam.   On the average, 96.7 % of the applied radioactivity was found in the top two inches of the columns (63-122 %).  Less than one percent was found in the leachate of any column (MRIDs 0015706, 00157907).

	In an unacceptable study on bioconcentration in fish (MRID 00159308), channel catfish were exposed to 3.6 ppm in soil that present in the approximately 250 gallon tanks.  The sampling intervals were 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21 days.  The BCF values did not exceed 2 during the study, indicating that bioconcentration is not likely to occur.  This conclusion is consistent with the fact that Busan 77 is a cation that will not concentrate in fat. However, the nitrite levels in the water were too high which stressed the fish.  Also, the mortality was higher in the treatment tank which indicates that in some conditions Busan 77 in water may cause some acute risk to fish.

II.	Environmental Fate Assessment (EPI Suite Summary)

Because the environmental fate database was complete, EFED did not use EPI-SUITE in this assessment.

Surface Water and Ground Water Contamination:

Busan77’s use as a wide-spectrum biocide, most frequently as a fungicide to combat the formation of slime in paper and pulp mill operations may result in its direct release to the environment.  It is expected to persist in the environment based on the abiotic and biotic persistence.  APPENDIX

Aerobic aquatic biodegradation 	First Experiment. Under aerobic aquatic conditions, 14C-Busan 77 (5.07 ppm) rapidly became sediment-bound. In this experiment, sediment bound residues increased from approximately 11% at Day 0 to 53% at Day 2 and retained in the range of 52% to 70% for the 30-day study. Approximately 4.0% of the total dose was trapped as CO2 and 0.1% of the applied radioactivity was trapped as organic volatiles by Day 30. Total recoveries averaged approximately 63% for the experiment, which resulted from strong adsorption of the test material to laboratory glassware during sale extraction.

Second Experiment. In the second experiment, 14C Busan 77 (4.77 ppm) rapidly because sediment bound in aerobic aquatic samples. This sediment bound radioactivity increased from approximately 31% at Day 0 to 94% at Day 1, and then remained fairly constant for the 31 day study. Approximately 5% of the total applied radioactivity was trapped as CO2. No radioactivity was detected as organic volatiles. Total recoveries averaged 100.0% for the experiment.	MRID 40334101

Sediment bound residues accounted for more than 90% of the total applied dose at all sampling points (except Day 0) through 365 days. The majority of the sediment bound radioactivity was associated with the humic fraction after treatment with a sodium hydroxide solution. Approximately 0.7% of the total applied dose was detected in the carbon dioxide trap, and less than 0.1% of the applied radioactivity was found in the organic volatiles trap.	40165201

	5.	Soil Column Leaching (OPP Guideline No. 163-1, MRID No. 00157906, 00157907)

This soil column leaching study was reviewed by the Agency and is considered acceptable.  A soil column leaching study was performed using dimethyliminio-labeled [14C]Busan 77 (0.93 uCi/mg specific activity) on four agricultural soils.  These included sandy loam, silt loam, sand, and silty clay loam.   On the average, 96.7 % of the applied radioactivity was found in the top two inches of the columns (63-122 %).  Less than one percent was found in the leachate of any column.

	6.	Bioaccumulation in Fish (OPP Guideline No. 165-4; MRID No. 00159308)

The sampling intervals were 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, and 21 days.  The BCF values did not exceed 2 during the study, indicating that bioconcentration is not likely to occur.  This conclusion is consistent with the fact that Busan 77 is a cation that will not concentrate in fat. However, the nitrite levels in the water were too high which stressed the fish.  Also, the mortality was higher in the treatment tank which indicates that in some conditions Busan 77 in water may cause some acute risk to fish.  Data Gap Table:  See Table below.

LOI Elements Review

Next Steps 2003 06 23/ 24, page 3 Telomer Research Program The Telomer Research Program is ...

a Science Focused research consortium formed in August 2000 and funded under a contractual agreement

Asahi Glass ( Japan), Clariant ( Germany), Daikin Industries ( Japan), and DuPont ( USA)

administered by the RAND Corporation ( USA) 2003 06 23/ 24, page 4 Telomer Research Program The Telomer Research Program  .

Was founded three years ago in response to the need to develop data on telomer products

Developing test methods and protocols that can be used by member companies in studies on their own products

Conducting its research program with a focus on three parallel workstreams toxicology, pharmacokinetics, and environmental fate and effects studies.

Developing the sophisticated analytical techniques required to study these types of compounds in complex matrices.

Has this year refocused on creating and carrying out the commitments of the TRP LOI 2003 06 23/ 24, page 5 Telomer Research Program TRP Perspectives

TRP member companies do not add or use PFOA in their Telomer based products and processes

Exposure to PFOA in the workplace from Telomer based products is therefore expected to be extremely small

Environmental releases from Telomer based processes are also expected to be extremely small

Therefore the focus for the Telomer LOI efforts is on potential transformation in the environment 2003 06 23/ 24, page 6 Telomer Research Program TRP LOI Overall Program Objectives

Investigate the potential formation and/ or release of perfluorooctanoic acid ( PFOA) from Fluorotelomer based polymeric products and consumer articles treated with such products and from manufacturing operations making or using these products

Better understand telomer based polymeric product environmental fate and disposal 2003 06 23/ 24, page 7 Telomer Research Program TRP Approach to the LOI and ECA Processes

Focuses on relevant releases and exposures during the life cyle of telomer based products and articles

Focuses on fate and monitoring studies based on release and exposure analyses and considerations

Considers testing and measurements in an iterative step wise approach triggered by improved knowledge gained 2003 06 23/ 24, page 8 Telomer Research Program TRP Overall Meeting Objectives for 23 24 June ` 03

Insure that EPA and Other Interested Parties have a clear idea of what is covered and planned in each LOI item, status of each item, and next steps

Seeking public input on the scope of the TRP LOI and potential additions

Items we can identify to define as part of the ECA and not compromise our LOI efforts 2003 06 23/ 24, page 9 Telomer Research Program TRP LOI Commitments Outline:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) is
an important part of the Administration's larger, coordinated effort--
known as the Federal Investment Strategy-- to strengthen homeland
security preparedness, including the security of America's Critical
Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR), including chemical facilities,
financial institutions, nuclear and electric power plants, dams,
stadiums, and other high-risk/high-consequence facilities. The
Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 110-329) established the BZPP to help
strengthen the Nation's critical infrastructure against risks
associated with potential terrorist attacks.

Collection of Information

    Title: FEMA Preparedness Grants: Buffer Zone Protection Program
(BZPP).
    Type of Information Collection: New information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-NEW.
    Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA Form 089-23, Buffer Zone Plan; FEMA
Form 089-23A, Vulnerability Reduction Purchasing Plan.
    Abstract: The information collection activity is the collection of
financial and programmatic information from States and local
governments pertaining to grant and cooperative agreement awards that
include application, program narrative statement, grant award,
performance information, outlay reports, property management, and
closeout information. The information enables FEMA to evaluate
applications and make award decisions, monitor ongoing performance and
manage the flow of federal funds, and to appropriately close out grants
or cooperative agreements. The Buffer Zone Plan is a narrative plan
that includes an assessment of possible infrastructure security risks
and documents the degree to which security processes and procedures are
in place, including planning to enhance and/or improve site security
and the actions jurisdictions undertake in their BZP to protect against
or prevent terrorist attacks at critical infrastructure and key
resources (CIKR). The Vulnerability Reduction Purchasing Plan is a plan
applicants prepare that corresponds to the Buffer Zone Plan and lists
procurement items including equipment, information technology, and
other resources such as training, that are needed to improve or enhance
a jurisdiction's preventive or protective posture around critical
infrastructure and key resources (CIKR) sites identified in the BZP.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,000 Hours.
