II. Petition for Tolerance

    In the Federal Register of April 8, 2009 (74 FR 15971) (FRL-8407-
4), 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 petition (PP
8E7492) by IR-4, IR-4 Project Headquarters, 500 College Rd. East, Suite
201 W., Princeton, NJ 08540. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.510
be amended by establishing tolerances for residues of the insecticide
pyriproxyfen in or on artichoke, globe at 2.0 parts per million (ppm);
asparagus at 2.0 ppm; fruit, small, vine climbing subgroup, except
grape 13-07E at 0.35 ppm; vegetable, foliage of legume, group 7 at 2.0
ppm; vegetable, leafy, except brassica, group 4 at 3.0 ppm; vegetable,
leaves of root and tuber, group 2 at 2.0 ppm; and watercress at 2.0
ppm. That notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by
Valent U.S.A. Corporation, the registrant, on behalf of IR-4 which is
available to the public in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov.
There were no comments received in response to the notice of filing.

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 section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors
specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, 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 the petitioned-for
tolerances for residues of pyriproxyfen in or on vegetable, leaves of
root and tuber, group 2 at 2.0 ppm; vegetable, leafy, except brassica,
group 4 at 3.0 ppm; vegetable, foliage of legume, group 7 at 2.0 ppm;
artichoke, globe at 2.0 ppm; asparagus at 2.0 ppm; watercress at 2.0
ppm; and small fruit vine climbing subgroup, except grape 13-07E at
0.35 ppm ppm. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with
establishing tolerances 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.
    Pyriproxyfen is of low acute toxicity. Pyriproxyfen is not a dermal
sensitizer. No significant systemic toxicity was observed in either the
21-day dermal toxicity study in rats or the 28-day inhalation toxicity
study in rats. Subchronic and chronic toxicity studies in mice, rats
and dogs indicate that the liver and kidney are the principal target
organs with slight anemia occurring in the rodent species. There was no
evidence of increased susceptibility to rat and rabbit fetuses in
prenatal developmental toxicity studies or to rat offspring in the 2-
generation rat reproduction study. No evidence of developmental
toxicity was seen in special studies that evaluated pyriproxyfen
toxicity following perinatal and prenatal exposure in rats. There was
no evidence of carcinogenicity in either a 78-week mouse feeding study
or in the 2-year rat chronic/carcinogenicity study. Pyriproxyfen is
classified as a ``Group E'' chemical - no evidence of carcinogenicity
to humans. Pyriproxyfen is negative for mutagenic activity in a battery
of mutagenicity studies conducted with both the parent and/or
metabolites. Specific information on the studies received and the
nature of the adverse effects caused by pyriproxyfen 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 docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0018 on pages
34-36 of the document titled ``Pyriproxyfen. Human Health Risk
Assessment for the Proposed Use of Pyriproxyfen in/on Vegetables,
Leaves of Root and Tuber, Group 2; Vegetables, Leafy, Except Brassica,
Group 4; Vegetable, Foliage of Legume, Group 7; Fruit, Small, Vine
Climbing, Except Grape, Subgroup 13-07E; Artichoke, Globe; Asparagus;
and Watercress Commodities.''

B. Toxicological Endpoints

    For hazards that have a threshold below which there is no
appreciable risk, a toxicological point of departure (POD) is
identified as the basis for derivation of reference values for risk
assessment. The POD may be defined as the highest dose at which no
adverse effects are observed (the NOAEL) in the toxicology study
identified as appropriate for use in risk assessment. However, if a
NOAEL cannot be determined, the lowest dose at which adverse effects of
concern are identified (the LOAEL) or a Benchmark Dose (BMD) approach
is sometimes used for risk assessment. Uncertainty/safety factors (UFs)
are used in conjunction with the POD to take into account uncertainties
inherent in the extrapolation from laboratory animal data to humans and
in the variations in sensitivity among members of the human population
as well as other unknowns. Safety is assessed for acute and chronic
dietary risks by comparing aggregate food and water exposure to the
pesticide to the acute population adjusted dose (aPAD) and chronic
population adjusted dose (cPAD). The aPAD and cPAD are calculated by
dividing the POD by all applicable UFs. Aggregate short-term,
intermediate-term, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing
food, water, and residential exposure to the POD to ensure that the
margin of exposure (MOE) called for by the product of all applicable
UFs is not exceeded. This latter value is referred to as the Level of
Concern (LOC).
    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
greater than that 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.
    A summary of the toxicological endpoints for pyriproxyfen used for
human risk assessment can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0018 on pages 16-18 of the document
titled ``Pyriproxyfen. Human Health Risk Assessment for the Proposed
Use of Pyriproxyfen in/on Vegetables, Leaves of Root and Tuber, Group
2; Vegetables, Leafy, Except Brassica, Group 4; Vegetable, Foliage of
Legume, Group 7; Fruit, Small, Vine Climbing, Except Grape, Subgroup
13-07E; Artichoke, Globe; Asparagus; and Watercress Commodities.''

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from food and feed uses. In evaluating dietary
exposure to pyriproxyfen, EPA considered exposure under the petitioned-
for tolerances as well as all existing pyriproxyfen tolerances in 40
CFR 180.510. EPA assessed dietary exposures from pyriproxyfen in food
as follows:
    i. Acute exposure. Quantitative acute dietary exposure and risk
assessments are performed for a food-use pesticide, if a toxicological
study has indicated the possibility of an effect of concern occurring
as a result of a 1-day or single exposure. No such effects were
identified in the toxicological studies for pyriproxyfen; therefore, a
quantitative acute dietary exposure assessment is unnecessary.
    ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting the chronic dietary exposure
assessment EPA used the food consumption data from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) 1994-1996 and 1998 Continuing Survey of Food
Intake by Individuals (CSFII). As to residue levels in food, EPA
performed an unrefined chronic analysis which assumed 100% crop treated
(CT), default processing factors, and tolerance level residues for all
commodities.
    iii. Cancer. Based on the absence of evidence of carcinogenicity in
two adequate rodent carcinogenicity studies, EPA has classified
pyriproxyfen as ``not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.'' Therefore,
a quantitative exposure assessment to evaluate cancer risk is
unnecessary.
    iv. Anticipated residue and percent crop treated (PCT) information.
As noted above in Unit III.C.1.ii., EPA did not use anticipated residue
and/or PCT information in the dietary assessment for pyriproxyfen.
Tolerance level residues and/or 100% CT were assumed for all food
commodities.
    2. Dietary exposure from drinking water. The Agency used screening
level water exposure models in the dietary exposure analysis and risk
assessment for pyriproxyfen in drinking water. These simulation models
take into account data on the physical, chemical, and fate/transport
characteristics of pyriproxyfen. Further information regarding EPA
drinking water models used in pesticide exposure assessment can be
found at http://www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/index.htm.
    Based on the Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure Analysis Modeling
System (PRZM/EXAMS) and Screening Concentration in Ground Water (SCI-
GROW) models, the estimated drinking water concentrations (EDWCs) of
pyriproxyfen for chronic exposures for non-cancer assessments are
estimated to be 0.52 parts per billion (ppb) for surface water and
0.0022 ppb for ground water.
    Modeled estimates of drinking water concentrations were directly
entered into the dietary exposure model. For chronic dietary risk
assessment, the water concentration of value 0.52 ppb was used to
assess the contribution to drinking water.
    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).
    Pyriproxyfen is the active ingredient in many registered
residential products for flea and tick control (home environment and
pet treatments) as well as products for ant and roach control (indoor
and outdoor applications). Formulations include carpet powders,
foggers, aerosol sprays, liquids (shampoos, sprays and pipettes for pet
treatments), granules, bait (indoor and outdoor), and impregnated
materials (pet collars). Only a post-application residential assessment
was conducted as the Agency did not select any short-term dermal or
inhalation endpoints. Toddlers are anticipated to have the highest
exposures from treated home environments and pets due to typical hand-
to-mouth behavior. EPA assessed residential exposure using the
following assumptions:
     Short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term toddler hand-
to-mouth exposures (consisting of petting treated animals and touching
treated carpets/flooring).
     Long-term dermal exposures for products with anticipated
efficacy more than 6 months (carpet powders and pet collars).
     Combined treatment toddler exposure scenarios as a result
of treatments to the home environment and the pet in the same period
(such as carpet powder and pet shampoo treatments). Episodic ingestion
of granules by toddlers is anticipated, but an assessment for this
scenario is not included, since an acute dietary endpoint was not
selected.
    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 pyriproxyfen to share a common mechanism of
toxicity with any other substances, and pyriproxyfen does not appear to
produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the
purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that
pyriproxyfen 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.

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
SF when reliable data available to EPA support the choice of a
different factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. Based on the available data,
there is no quantitative and qualitative evidence of increased
susceptibility observed following in utero pyriproxyfen exposure to
rats and rabbits or following prenatal/postnatal exposure in the 2-
generation reproduction study.

    3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show that it
would be safe for infants and children to reduce the FQPA SF to 1X.
That decision is based on the following findings:
    i. The toxicity database for pyriproxyfen is complete except for
acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies and immunotoxicity testing.
Recent changes to 40 CFR part 158 make these studies (OPPTS Guideline
870.7800) required for pesticide registration; however, the available
data for pyriproxyfen do not show potential for neurotoxicity or
immunotoxicity. Although neurotoxicity studies have not yet been
submitted, there is no evidence of neurotoxicity in any study in the
toxicity database for pyriproxyfen. Similarly, although the database
contains no specific immunotoxicity studies, no evidence of
immunotoxicity was found in existing studies. EPA does not believe that
conducting immunotoxicity testing will result in a NOAEL less than the
chronic Referenced Dose (cRfD) NOAEL of 35.1 milligrams/kilogram body
weight/day (mg/kg bw/day) already established for pyriproxyfen or that
acute or subchronic neurotoxicity studies would affect selection of the
acute Referenced Dose (aRfD) or cRfD. Accordingly, EPA concludes that
an additional factor for database uncertainties is not needed to
account for potential immunotoxicity or neurotoxicity.
    ii. There is no indication that pyriproxyfen is a neurotoxic
chemical and there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity study
or additional uncertainty factors (UF) to account for neurotoxicity.
    iii. There is no evidence that pyriproxyfen results in increased
susceptibility in utero in rats or rabbits in the prenatal
developmental studies or in young rats in the 2-generation reproduction
study.
    iv. There are no residual uncertainties identified in the exposure
databases. The dietary food exposure assessments were performed based
on 100% CT and tolerance-level residues. Conservative ground water and
surface water modeling estimates were used. Similarly, conservative
Residential Standard Operating Procedues (SOPs) were used to assess
post-application exposure to children as well as incidental oral
exposure of toddlers. These assessments will not underestimate the
exposure and risks posed by pyriproxyfen.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    EPA determines whether acute and chronic pesticide exposures are
safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the aPAD and cPAD.
The aPAD and cPAD represent the highest safe exposures, taking into
account all appropriate SFs. EPA calculates the aPAD and cPAD by
dividing the POD by all applicable UFs. For linear cancer risks, EPA
calculates the probability of additional cancer cases given the
estimated aggregate exposure. Short-term, intermediate-term, and
chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated aggregate
food, water, and residential exposure to the POD to ensure that the MOE
called for by the product of all applicable UFs is not exceeded.
    1. Acute risk. An acute aggregate risk assessment takes into
account exposure estimates from acute dietary consumption of food and
drinking water. No adverse effect resulting from a single-oral exposure
was identified and no acute dietary endpoint was selected. Therefore,
pyriproxyfen is not expected to pose an acute risk.
    2. Chronic risk. Using the exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has concluded that chronic exposure to
pyriproxyfen from food and water will utilize 10% of the cPAD for
children 1 to 2 years old, the population group receiving the greatest
exposure. A long-term post-application residential assessment was
performed. Toddlers are anticipated to have higher exposures than
adults from treated home environments and pets due to their behavior
patterns. The total chronic dietary and residential aggregate MOEs
range from 580 to 4,500. For pyriproxifen, EPA would be concerned if
the MOE was below 100.
    3. Short-term risk. Short-term aggregate exposure takes into
account short-term residential exposure plus chronic exposure to food
and water (considered to be a background exposure level).
    Pyriproxyfen is currently registered for uses that could result in
short-term residential exposure and the Agency has determined that it
is appropriate to aggregate chronic exposure through food and water
with short-term residential exposures to pyriproxyfen.
    Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for short-
term exposures, EPA has concluded the combined short-term food, water,
and residential exposures aggregated result in aggregate MOEs of 1,200
for children 1 to 2 years old, the population group receiving the
greatest exposure, and therefore is not a concern.
    4. Intermediate-term risk. Intermediate-term aggregate exposure
takes into account intermediate-term residential exposure plus chronic
exposure to food and water (considered to be a background exposure
level).
    Pyriproxyfen is currently registered for uses that could result in
intermediate-term residential exposure and the Agency has determined
that it is appropriate to aggregate chronic exposure to pyriproxyfen
through food and water with intermediate-term exposures for
pyriproxyfen.
    Using the exposure assumptions described in this unit for
intermediate-term exposures, EPA has concluded that the combined
intermediate-term food, water, and residential exposures aggregated
result in aggregate MOEs of 430 for children 1 to 2 years old, the
population group receiving the greatest exposure, and therefore is not
a concern.
    5. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S. population. Pyriproxyfen is
classified as a ``Group E'' chemical (negative for carcinogenicity in
humans). This classification is based on the lack of evidence of
carcinogenicity in mice and rats. EPA does not expect pyriproxyfen to
pose a cancer risk.
    6. Determination of safety. Based on these risk assessments, 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 pyriproxyfen residues.

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology (gas chromatography/nitrogen-
phosphorous detector; GC/NPD) 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>; e-mail address:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
B. International Residue Limits

    There are currently no established Codex maximum residue limits for
pyriproxyfen.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of pyriproxyfen
in or on artichoke, globe at 2.0 ppm; asparagus at 2.0 ppm; fruit,
small, vine climbing subgroup, except grape 13-07E at 0.35 ppm;
vegetable, foliage of legume, group 7 at 2.0 ppm; vegetable, leafy,
except brassica, group 4 at 3.0 ppm; vegetable, leaves of root and
tuber, group 2 at 2.0 ppm; and watercress at 2.0 ppm.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances 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).

VII. 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).

rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule, and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

Authorization

    Take notice that on February 10, 2014, Columbia Gas Transmission,
LLC (Columbia), 5151 San Felipe, Suite 2500, Houston, Texas 77056,

sections 157.205, 157.208 and 157.210 of the Commission's Regulations
under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, requesting authorization to
construct 5.5 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline and appurtenances,
extending Line R-701 north of McArthur Compressor Station, located in
Vinton and Fairfield Counties, Ohio. Columbia states that the proposed
extension of Line R-701 will not increase (or decrease) the line's
capacity nor change any services currently offered by Columbia.
Columbia asserts that the proposed project is required to increase the

reliability of both the existing Line R-701 and the overall R-System in
the Ohio region. Columbia estimates the costs of the proposed project
to be approximately $25.3 million, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number

milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments

not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
