[EPA-R05-OAR-2008-0389; FRL-8711-3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Wisconsin; Approval of Rule Clarifications

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Wisconsin State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources (WDNR) on March 28, 2008. The WDNR has submitted for
approval revisions to incorporate Federal regulations into the
Wisconsin Administrative Code, to clarify construction permit
requirements under general permits, to revise portable source
relocation requirements, and to amend rule language to streamline the
minor revision permit process to allow construction permits to be
issued concurrently with operation permits. EPA is approving these
revisions because they are consistent with Federal regulations
governing State permit programs.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective December 22, 2008,
unless EPA receives adverse comments by November 21, 2008. If adverse
comments are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that the
rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2008-0389, by one of the following methods:
    1. www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
    2. E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    3. Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    4. Mail: Pamela Blakley, Chief, Air Permits Section, Air Programs
Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    5. Hand Delivery: Pamela Blakley, Chief, Air Permits Section, Air
Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West

mail comment directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov,
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available
on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends
that you include your name and other contact information in the body of
your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read
your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
in www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 5, Air and Radiation Division, 77 West

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''

section is arranged as follows:

I. What Revisions Did WDNR Submit?
II. What Action Is EPA Taking on This Submittal?
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What Revisions Did WDNR Submit?

    On March 28, 2008, WDNR submitted a SIP revision request to EPA for
approval. These revisions incorporate Federal regulations into the
Wisconsin Administrative Code, clarify construction permit requirements
under general permits, revise portable source relocation requirements,
and amend rule language to streamline the minor revision permit process
to allow construction permits to be issued concurrently with operation
permits.
    The submittal requests that EPA approve the following revisions to
WDNR's SIP:
    (1) To renumber and create NR 400.02(162)(a)49. Wisconsin rule NR
400.02 contains air pollution definitions, and the change will update
the definitions to exclude a compound from the list of volatile organic
compounds to reflect a rule change made by EPA.
    (2) To amend NR 406.04(2m)(b), 406.15(3)(a), and to create
406.04(2m)(b)(note). NR 406 contains construction permit requirements,
and the change to NR 406.04 will clarify when a construction permit is
needed for sources covered under general operation permits. The change
to NR 406.15 amends the numerical emission threshold limitations to
language limiting the relocation limitations to less than major source
thresholds.
    (3) To repeal NR 407.02(6)(b)4 to 7, to amend 407.02(4)(b)27, and
407.10(4)(a)2, and to create 407.02(3e), and 407.10(4)(a)2(note). NR
407 contains operation permit requirements, and the change to NR 407.02
will revise the Federal standards regarding fugitive emissions and
permitting standards. The portions of NR 407.02 which are repealed deal
with source categories which are no longer required to obtain a Part 70
Title V permit due to rule changes made by EPA. The change to NR 407.10
also clarifies when a construction permit is needed for sources covered
under general operation permits.
    (4) To amend NR 410.03(4). NR 410 contains air permit, emission,
and

inspection fees, and the revisions to NR 410.03 will allow WDNR to bill
the applicant for the construction permit fee when the permit is
issued, streamlining the process for minor revisions to those permits.
    WDNR held a public hearing on June 12, 2007, for these changes.
WDNR proposed the rule revisions to the Wisconsin Natural Resources
Board for adoption on September 24, 2007, and the Board approved the
final rule revisions, which became effective on May 1, 2008.

II. What Action is EPA Taking on this Submittal?

    EPA is approving revisions to Wisconsin's SIP rules NR 400, NR 406,
NR 407, and NR 410 submitted by the State on March 28, 2008.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective December 22,
2008 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written
comments by November 21, 2008. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. If we do not receive any comments, this
action will be effective December 22, 2008.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to
approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA
and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements
and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by
State law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically ``significant regulatory action''
based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United
States. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by December 22, 2008. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

    (118) On March 28, 2008, Wisconsin submitted for EPA approval into
the Wisconsin SIP a revision to repeal NR 407.02(6)(b)4 to 7; to
renumber NR 400.02(162)(a)49; to amend NR 406.04(2m)(b), 406.15(3)(a),
407.02(4)(b)27, 407.10(4)(a)2, and 410.03(4); to create NR
400.02(162)(a)49, 406.04(2m)(b)(note), 407.02(3e), and
407.10(4)(a)2(note), Wis. Admin. Code, effective May 1, 2008. These
revisions revise Wisconsin's rules to incorporate Federal regulations
into the Wisconsin Administrative Code, to clarify construction permit
requirements under general permits, revise portable source relocation
requirements, and to amend rule language to streamline the minor
revision permit process to allow construction permits to be issued

concurrently with operation permits. EPA has determined that this
revision is approvable under the Act.
    (i) Incorporation by reference. The following sections of the
Wisconsin Administrative Code are incorporated by reference:
    (A) NR 400.02 Definitions. NR 400.02(162)(a)49 and NR
400.02(162)(a)50, as published in the Wisconsin Administrative
Register, April 30, 2008, No. 628, effective May 1, 2008.
    (B) NR 406.04 Direct sources exempt from construction permit
requirements. NR 406.04(2m)(b) and NR 406.04(2m)(b)(note), as published
in the Wisconsin Administrative Register, April 30, 2008, No. 628,
effective May 1, 2008.
    (C) NR 406.15 Relocation of portable sources. NR 406.15(3)(a), as
published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register, April 30, 2008, No.
628, effective May 1, 2008.
    (D) NR 407.02 Definitions. NR 407.02(3e), and NR 407.02(4)(b)27, as
published in the Wisconsin Administrative Register, April 30, 2008, No.
628, effective May 1, 2008.
    (E) NR 407.10 General operation permits. NR 407.10(4)(a)2 and NR
407.10(4)(a)2(note), as published in the Wisconsin Administrative
Register, April 30, 2008, No. 628, effective May 1, 2008.

BILLING CODE 6560-50-P


48373 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 156 / Wednesday, August 13, 2003 / Notices system. Pyraclostrobin also acts curatively to prevent the increase and spread of fungal infections by inhibiting mycelial growth and sporulation on the leaf surface. BAS 500F inhibits spore germination, germ tube growth and penetration into the host tissues. The EPA is currently developing methodology to perform cumulative risk assessments. At this time, there is no available data to determine whether BAS 500F has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances or how to include this pesticide in a cumulative risk assessment. Unlike other pesticides for which EPA has followed a cumulative risk approach based on a common mechanism of toxicity, pyraclostrobin does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances.

E. Safety Determination. U. S. population. Adding the proposed uses to those crops already on the pyraclostrobin label, aggregate exposure to adults in the U. S. population utilized at most 67% of the aPAD and 40% of the cPAD. Therefore, no harm to the overall U. S. population would result from the use of pyraclostrobin on the proposed and existing label crops. Infants and children. All subpopulations based on age were considered. The highest potential exposure was predicted for children age 1 6. Using the FQPA safety factor of 3X when appropriate, the addition of the proposed crops to those on the label would use less than 1% of the aPAD and use 89% of the cPAD for children age 1   6. BASF concludes that there is reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants or children from aggregate exposure to pyraclostrobin residues on the proposed and existing label crops.

F. International Tolerances. Maximum Residue Levels ( MRLs) have been established for pyraclostrobin in Canada. No MRLs have been established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. [ FR Doc. 03   20641 Filed 8   12   03; 8: 45 am]

EPA has determined that these petitions contain data or information regarding the elements set forth in FFDCA section 408( d)( 2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of these petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petitions.

List of Subjects Environmental protection, Agricultural commodities, Feed additives, Food additives, Pesticides and pests, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Dated: August 4, 2003. Debra Edwards, Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.

Summary of Petition The petitioner's summary of the pesticide petitions is printed below as required by FFDCA section 408( d)( 3). The summary of the petitions was prepared by Syngenta Crop Protection, 410 Swing Road, Greeensboro, NC 276419, and represents the view of the Syngenta Crop Protection. The petition summary announces the availability of a description of the analytical methods available to EPA for the detection and measurement of the pesticide chemical residues or an explanation of why no such method is needed.

Syngenta Crop Protection PP 7E4916, 8E5029, 8E5030, 9E6055, and 2E6374 EPA has received pesticide petitions ( 7E4916, 8E5029, 8E5030, 9E6055, and 2E6374) from the Interregional Research Project Number 4 ( IR 4), 681 U. S. Highway # 1 South, North Brunswick, NJ 08902 proposing proposing, pursuant to section 408( d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( FFDCA), 21 U. S. C. 346a( d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 by establishing tolerances for combined residues of s metolachlor and its metabolites, determined as the derivatives, 2( 2 ethyl 6 methylphenyl) amino 1 propanol and 4 ( 2 ethyl 6 methylphenyl) 2 hydroxy 5 methyl 3 morpholine, each expressed as the parent compound s metolachlor in or on the following raw agricultural commodities: 1. PP 4E4420 proposes the establishment of tolerances for pepper, bell and pepper, nonbell at 0.50 part per million ( ppm). 2. PP 7E4916 proposes the establishment of a tolerance for carrot, root and horseradish at 0.1 ppm. 3. PP 8E5029 proposes the establishment of a tolerance for rhubarb at 0.1 ppm. 4. PP 8E5030 proposes the establishment of a tolerance for swiss chard at 0.1 ppm. 5. PP 9E6055 proposes the establishment of a tolerance for asparagus at 0.1 ppm. 6. PP 2E6374 proposes the establishment of a tolerance for onion, green at 0.2 ppm. EPA has determined that the petitions contain data or information regarding the elements set forth in section 408( d)( 2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting of the petitions. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petitions.

A. Residue Chemistry 1. Plant metabolism. [ The qualitative nature of S metolachlor residues in plants is adequately understood based upon available EPA approved corn, potato, and soybean metabolism studies. The metabolism of S metolachlor involves conjugation with glutathione, breakage of this bond to form the mercaptan, conjugation of the mercaptan with glucuronic acid, hydrolysis of the methyl ether, and conjugation of the resultant alcohol with a neutral sugar. EPA has determined that residues of concern in plants include parent and metabolites, determined as the derivatives CGA 37913 and CGA 49751. 2. Analytical method. The Pesticide Analytical Manual ( PAM) Vol. II, Pesticide Regulation Section 180.368 lists a gas chromatography/ nitrogen phosphorous detector ( GC/ NPD) method ( Method 1) for determining residues in or on plants and a gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry methos ( GC/ MSD) method for determining residues in livestock commodities. These methods determine residues of S metolachlor and its metabolites as either CGA 37913 or CGA 49751 following acid hydrolysis. The limit of quantitation ( LOQ) for the method is 0.03 ppm for CGA 37913 and 0.05 ppm for CGA 49751. 3. Magnitude of residues.   i. Asparagus. Magnitude of residue trials were conducted under the direction of IR 4 in EPA regions 2, 5, and 11 in New Jersey, Michigan, and Washington. Applications were made pre emergence to dormant asparagus in the spring and samples were collected for analysis 16 days after application. There were no detectable residues found in asparagus at harvest. ii. Carrot. Field trials were conducted in Florida, Michigan, and New York to support the proposed tolerance for Smetolachlor in or on carrots grow on high organic matter ( muck) soils. iii. Green onion. Magnitude of residue trials were completed by IR 4 in New York, California, and Michigan ( EPA region 1, 10, and 5, respectively). One post emergence broadcast application was made when the onions had 2 true leaves. Marketable green onion plants were collected 43 to 45 days following the application. Maximum residues found were 0.168 ppm. iv. Rhubarb and Swiss chard. As the EPA review announced in the October 2002 TRED has confirmed that a 0.1 ppm tolerance is appropriate for Smetolachlor in celery and as celery is the representative crop for the Leafy Petiole Subgroup, IR 4 has proposed tolerances be established for rhubarb and Swiss chard.

B. Toxicological Profile 1. Acute toxicity. [ The data base for acute toxicity for S metolachlor is complete. S metolachlor is moderately acutely toxic ( Toxicity Category III) by the oral and dermal route and relatively non toxic ( Toxicity category IV) by the inhalation route. It causes slight eye irritation ( Toxicity Category III) and is non irritating dermally ( Toxicity Category IV); the active ingredient was found to be positive in a dermal sensitization test but this effect is mitigated in end use product formulations.] 2. Genotoxicty. The data base for Smetolachlor has been deemed to be adequate by EPA. Gene mutation studies ( Guideline 870.5100), micronucleus ( Guideline 870.5395), and unscheduled DNA synthesis ( Guideline 870.5550) studies have recently been reviewed and approved by EPA. There is no evidence of a mutagenic or cytogentic effect in vivo or in vitro with S metolachlor. 3. Reproductive and developmental toxicity. The data base for developmental and reproductive toxicity for S metolachlor are considered complete according to EPA reviews. The prenatal developmental studies in the rat and rabbit with Smetolachlor revealed no evidence of a qualitative or quantitative susceptibility in fetal animals. No significant developmental toxicity was observed in most studies even at the highest doses tested. In a two generation reproduction study, there was no evidence of parental or reproductive toxicity at the highest dose tested ( 80 mg/ kg/ day). The results indicate that S metolachlor is not VerDate jul< 14> 2003 15: 42 Aug 12, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 13AUN1. SGM 13AUN1 48376 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 156 / Wednesday, August 13, 2003 / Notices embryotoxic or teratogenic in either species at maternally toxic doses. 4. Subchronic toxicity. In a 90   day dietary study in rats with S metolachlor, no effects were observed in male or females at 208 and 236 mg/ kg/ day, respectively. In another 90   day dietary study in rats, decreased body weight, reduced food consumption and food efficiency in both sexes and increased kidney weight in males at 150 mg/ kg/ day; the NOAEL was 15 mg/ kg/ day. A 90   day dog study with S metolachlor in dogs has been accepted by EPA; no effects were observed in males and females at 62 mg/ kg/ day and 74 mg/ kg/ day, respectively, the highest doses tested. 5. Chronic toxicity. A combined chronic toxicity/ carcinogenic study in the rat satisfies the requirements for both the chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies. No significant chronic toxicity was found in either rats or dogs. In the rat, a decrease in body weight was observed at the highest dose tested. In the chronic dog study that supports S metolachlor, the only adverse effect was decreased body weight gain in females at 33 mg/ kg/ day; the NOAEL was 10 mg/ kg/ day. 6. Animal metabolism. In animals, Smetolachlor is extensively absorbed, rapidly metabolized and almost totally eliminated in the excreta of rats, goats, and poultry. Metabolism in animals proceeds through common Phase 1 intermediates and glutathione conjugation. 7. Metabolite toxicology. The metabolism of S metolachlor has been well characterized in standard FIFRA metabolism studies. S metolachlor does not readily undergo dealkylation to form an aniline or quinone imine as has been reported for other members of the chloroacetanilide class of chemicals. Therefore, it is not appropriate to include S metolachlor with the group of chloroacetanilides that readily undergo dealkylation, producing a common toxic metabolite ( quinone imine). New toxicology data submitted by Syngenta demonstrate that the S metolachlor metabolites ethane sulfonic acid ( CGA 354743) and oxanilic acid ( CGA 51202) are not absorbed by mammalian systems and / or have a significantly lower level of mammalian toxicity when compared to parent. 8. Endocrine disruption. SMetolachlor does not belong to a class of chemicals known or suspected of having adverse effects on the endocrine system. There is no evidence that Smetolachlor has any effect on endocrine function in developmental or reproduction studies. Furthermore, histological investigation of endocrine organs in the chronic dog, rat and mouse studies did not indicate that the endocrine system is targeted by Smetolachlor even at maximally tolerated doses administered for a lifetime. There is no evidence that Smetolachlor bioaccumulates in the environment.

C. Aggregate Exposure 1. Dietary exposure. A Tier III/ IV chronic dietary exposure analysis was conducted on S metolachlor using field trial and market basket survey residues. Field trial residues were adjusted for percent of crop treated whereas market basket residues were not, since this information is inherent in the data. The percent of crop treated was assumed to be 100% for all commodities for which no percent of crop treated information was available. The chronic assessment was conducted for S metolachlor using the Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEMTM, version 7.76) by Exponent and food consumption information from USDA's 1994 96 Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals ( CSFII) and the Supplemental CSFII children's survey ( 1998). For this chronic assessment, the field trial values were averaged and entered into the DEEMTM software. Syngenta Market Basket Survey ( SMBS) S metolachlor data were available for the following commodities: milk, potatoes and tomatoes. The Syngenta market basket survey was conducted from September 1999 through September 2000. Following the Agency tier ranking system, these chronic dietary assessments are considered as Tier III ( utilizing field trial data) and Tier IV ( utilizing SMBS and PDP data) assessments. S metolachlor is not considered acutely toxic and therefore acute dietary exposure was not determined; however, in the October 2002 TRED EPA conducted an acute assessment of the majority of the crops included in this petition and determined acute risks to be < 1% of the aPAD in the most exposed population subgroup. The chronic RfD for S metolachlor is 0.10 mg/ kg body weight/ day and is based on a one year dog study with a NOEL of 9.7 mg/ kg body weight/ day and a safety factor of 100X. No additional FQPA safety factor is required; nor was applied in this assessment. i. Food. The risk from chronic dietary exposure to S metolachlor is considered to be very low. The percentages of the chronic RfD ranged from 0.17% for Seniors to 0.64% for Children 1   2 years old, theoretically the most exposure population subgroup. ii. Drinking water. Other potential sources of exposure of the general population to residues of S metolachlor are residues in drinking water and exposure from non occupational sources. The degradation of Smetolachlor is microbially mediated with an aerobic soil metabolism primary half life of less than 30 days and subsequently soil binding predominates. S metolachlor Koc's vary from 110 369. S metolachlor is stable to hydrolysis and while aqueous and soil photolysis occur, they are not expected to be prominent pathways in the environment. The predominant crop for Smetolachlor is corn and accordingly an Index Reservoir PRZM/ EXAMS was run using EPA's standard corn scenario. The model simulated two applications to the same plot: pre emergence ( 2.67 kg ai/ ha) and post emergence ( 1.50 kg a. i./ ha). The mean annual average estimated environmental concentrations ( EEC) was 11.77 ppb. It should be noted that extensive monitoring data suggests that this EEC is a conservative estimate. For the vast majority of locations sampled, the peak measured concentration does not approach 12 ppb, and the annual average would be expected to be much lower. The Chronic drinking water levels of concern ( DWLOC) was calculated based on a cRfD of 0.097 mg/ kg/ day. Nonnursing infants are the most sensitive subpopulation and their DWLOC is estimated to be 544 ppb which corresponds to a % cRfD value of 2.2% with an MOE value of 4621. Thus, the DWLOC is considerably higher than the EEC of 11.77 ppb and the MOE is well above the benchmark value of 100. 2. Non dietary exposure. Smetolachlor is labeled for use on warmseason turf and landscape ornamentals. Although, it is primarily used on sod farms and commercial landscape ornamentals, it can be used by licensed pest control operators ( PCO) or lawn care operators ( LCO) on residential turf. Since S metolachlor can only be applied to warm season turf varieties ( bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, St. Augustinegrass, and Centipedegrass), its use on turf is limited to the southern states. Non dietary residential exposure may occur to homeowners or children as a result of exposure during re entry activities. Using surrogate dislodgeable foliar residue data, and conservative standard EPA exposure scenarios, exposure through the dermal route was calculated. Based on the use pattern, which restricts to number of application to one per year, only short term risks need to be considered. The relevant VerDate jul< 14> 2003 15: 42 Aug 12, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 13AUN1. SGM 13AUN1 48377 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 156 / Wednesday, August 13, 2003 / Notices toxicological endpoint for short term dermal risks is the NOEL of 100 mg/ kg/ day from a 21   day dermal toxicity study in rabbits. No acute oral hazard has been identified following an acute exposure to S metolachlor and, therefore, no nondietary assessment is needed. The short term dermal postapplication risks for adults and children are acceptable, ranging from 520 to 870. These risk estimates exceed the EPA's level of concern for S metolachlor ( all MOEs are greater than 100). Aggregate exposure. ( Drinking Water and Dietary Exposure). Using the total MOE equation for the determination of aggregate chronic exposure ( food and drinking water only) resulted in an aggregate MOET of > 4,000 for the most sensitive subpopulation, non nursing infants. For this particular subpopulation, there are no non dietary exposure contributions to the MOET aggregate value.

D. Cumulative Effects EPA has examined the common mechanism potential for S metolachlor and has concluded that S metolachlor should not be included with some pesticides that comprise the class of chloroacetanilides included in a `` Common Mechanism Group.'' Therefore, a cumulative assessment is not necessary for S metolachlor.

E. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population. Based on the aggregate assessment described above and the completeness and reliability of the toxicity data, it is concluded that aggregate exposure to S metolachlor ( including the proposed uses) in food will utilize less than 0.1 percent of the cRfD for the U. S. population. EPA generally has no concern for exposures below 100 percent of the RfD because the RfD represents the level at or below which daily aggregate dietary exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciable risks to human health. Despite the potential for exposure to S metolachlor in drinking water and from non dietary, non occupational exposures, the assessment presented above demonstrates that the high levels of safety exist for current and proposed uses of S metolachlor; it is not expected that aggregate exposure from all sources will exceed 100% of the RfD. Therefore, one can conclude there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to S metolachlor. 2. Infants and children. [ FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA may apply an additional safety factor for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for pre and post natal toxicity and the completeness of the database. Based on the current toxicological data requirements, the database relative to pre and post natal effects for children is complete. A full consideration of the available reproductive toxicity data supporting Smetolachlor demonstrates no increased sensitivity to infants and children. Therefore, it is concluded that an additional uncertainty factor is not warranted to protect the health of infants and children and that the cRfD at 0.1 mg/ kg/ day is appropriate for assessing aggregate risk to infants and children from use of S metolachlor. Based on the aggregate assessment described above, the percent of the cRfD that will be utilized by aggregate exposure to residues of S metolachlor is less than 0.7 percent for all children subpopulations. EPA generally has no concern for exposures below 100% of the RfD because the RfD represents the level at or below which daily aggregate dietary exposure over a lifetime will not pose appreciable risks to human health. Despite the potential for exposure to Smetolachlor in drinking water and from non dietary, non occupational exposure, the assessment described above demonstrates that it is not expected that aggregate exposure from all sources provides for a large margin of safety and will exceed 100% of the RfD. Therefore, based on the completeness and reliability of the toxicity data and the exposure assessment, it is concluded there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to Smetolachlor residues.

F. International Tolerances There are no Codex Alimentarius Commission ( CODEX) maximum residue levels ( MRL's) established for residues of S metolachlor in or on raw agricultural commodities.
