		Health Effects Division (7509P)

PURPOSE OF MEETING:

	The HED HASPOC met on June 28, 2007 to discuss (i) whether
HPPD-inhibiting pesticides shared a common effect and common mechanism
of toxicity; (ii) species differences in the animal toxicity studies,
and species differences in the expression of TAT (tyrosine
aminotransferase), (iii) the human experience with genetic disorders of
tyrosinemia and treatment with HPPD inhibiting drugs (e.g., Nitisinone);
and (iv) whether the rat ocular toxicity is an appropriate model  in our
 health risk assessments as a regulatory endpoint.

HASPOC agreed that there was evidence of an association of HPPD
inhibition leading to induced tyrosinemia (elevated plasma tyrosine
levels) and ocular effects.  However, because humans have an efficient
metabolic process to handle excess plasma tyrosine levels and given the
clinical experience with HPPD-inhibiting drugs, it is unlikely that
exposure to pesticide residues will result in tyrosinemia-related
toxicity in humans as observed in the rat (the susceptible species).
Accordingly, although HPPD inhibiting-herbicides may share a common mode
of action, exposure to these herbicides are unlikely to induce adverse
health outcomes in humans.    Thus, there is not a likely human health
impact to indicate the need for a cumulative risk assessment.  OPP
should depart from this science policy where new facts or circumstances
warrant, however.

 The following boilerplate language is suggested for the HPPD-Inhibiting
herbicides.

Pesticide X belongs to a class of herbicides that inhibit the liver
enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), which is involved in
the catabolism (metabolic breakdown) of tyrosine (an amino acid derived
from proteins in the diet).  Inhibition of HPPD can result in elevated
tyrosine levels in the blood, a condition called tyrosinemia.
HPPD-inhibiting herbicides have been found to cause a number of
toxicities in laboratory animal studies including ocular, developmental,
liver and kidney effects.   Of these toxicities, it is the ocular effect
(corneal opacity) that is highly correlated with the elevated blood
tyrosine levels. In fact, rats dosed with tyrosine alone show ocular
opacities similar to those seen with HPPD inhibitors.  Although the
other toxicities may be associated with chemically-induced tyrosinemia,
other mechanisms may also be involved.

There are marked differences among species in the ocular toxicity
associated with inhibition of HPPD.  Ocular effects following treatment
with HPPD inhibitor herbicides are seen in the rat but not in the
mouse.  Monkeys also seem to be recalcitrant to the ocular toxicity
induced by HPPD inhibition.  The explanation of this species-specific
response in ocular opacity is related to the species differences in the
clearance of tyrosine.  A metabolic pathway exists to remove tyrosine
from the blood that involves a liver enzyme called tyrosine
aminotransferase (TAT). In contrast to rats where ocular toxicity is
observed following exposure to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides, mice and
humans are unlikely to achieve the levels of plasma tyrosine necessary
to produce ocular opacities because the activity of TAT in these species
is much greater compared to rats.   Thus, humans and mice have a highly
effective metabolic process for handling excess tyrosine.

HPPD inhibitors ( e.g., Nitisinone) are used as an effective therapeutic
agent  to treat patients suffering from rare genetic diseases of
tyrosine catabolism.  Treatment starts in childhood but is often
sustained throughout patients lifetime.

The human experience indicates that a therapeutic dose (1 mg/kg/day
dose) of Nitisinone has an excellent safety record in infants, children
and adults and that serious adverse health outcomes have not been
observed in a population followed for approximately a decade.   Rarely,
ocular effects are seen in patients with high plasma tyrosine levels;
however these effects are transient and can be readily reversed upon
adherence to a restricted protein diet.  This indicates that an HPPD
inhibitor in it of itself cannot easily overwhelm the tyrosine-clearance
mechanism in humans.

Therefore, exposure to environmental residues of HPPD-inhibiting
herbicides are unlikely to result in the high blood levels of tyrosine
and ocular toxicity in humans due to an efficient metabolic process to
handle excess tyrosine. Single chemical risk assessments for which the
hazard endpoint selected is from a rat toxicity study and the effect
observed is ocular opacity due to tyrosinemia should be considered worst
case.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement agreement; request for public
comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as
amended (``CAA'' or the ``Act''), notice is hereby given of a proposed
settlement agreement to address a lawsuit filed by Communities for a
Better Environment, California Communities Against Toxics, Desert
Citizens Against Pollution, Natural Resources Defense Council, and
Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles (collectively
``Petitioners'') in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit: Communities for a Better Environment, et al. v. EPA, No. 12-
71340, (9th Cir.). On April 30, 2012, Petitioner filed a petition for
review challenging EPA's final action to approve the state
implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by California to provide

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement

    The proposed settlement agreement would resolve a lawsuit seeking
to overturn EPA's final action to approve SIP revisions submitted by
California to provide for attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standard in the South Coast. 77 FR 12674 (March 1,
2012). The proposed settlement agreement requires that no later than
August 13, 2014, EPA shall sign a notice or notices of the Agency's
final action or actions under Section

110(k) of the CAA on certain SIP revisions submitted by California on
February 13, 2013, including a new attainment demonstration plan for
the 1-hour ozone standard in the South Coast and new demonstrations
intended to comply with Section 182(d)(1)(A) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C.
7511a(d)(1)(A), for the 1-hour ozone and 1997 8-hour ozone standards.
Thereafter, EPA shall send the notice(s) to the Office of the Federal
Register for review and publication. After EPA fulfills its obligations
under the agreement, the Petitioners shall dismiss this matter, but
Petitioners reserve any rights they may have to challenge EPA final
action or actions on the above described SIP revisions.\1\ If EPA does
not take action by the deadline, then Petitioners' sole remedy under
the proposed agreement shall be the right to request that the Ninth
Circuit lift the stay of proceedings and establish a schedule for
briefing and oral argument.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Four of the five Petitioners have also noticed an appeal
from dismissal of Physicians for Social Responsibility--Los Angeles
v. EPA, No. 2:11-cv-05885-GW-SS, in the United States District Court
for the Central District of California, currently docketed in the
Ninth Circuit as Case No. 12-56175. Under the proposed settlement
agreement, the four petitioners who are appellants in that case
shall dismiss Physicians for Social Responsibility--Los Angeles v.
EPA, No. 12-56175, upon receipt of written notice from EPA that the
proposed settlement agreement is final.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the
proposed settlement agreement from persons who were not named as
parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the
Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed
settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations
that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate,
or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the
Department of Justice determines that consent to this settlement
agreement should be withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be
affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Settlement
Agreement

A. How can I get a copy of the settlement agreement?

    The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2013-0484) contains a copy of the proposed settlement
agreement. The official public docket is available for public viewing
at the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA
Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW.,
Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202)
566-1744, and the telephone number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566-
1752.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
www.regulations.gov. You may use www.regulations.gov to submit or view
public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the
official public docket, and to access those documents in the public
docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, key in
the appropriate docket identification number then select ``search''.
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at www.regulations.gov without change, unless
the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information claimed as CBI
and other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute is not
included in the official public docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material, including
copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not be placed
in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. 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.
    Use of the www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments. The
electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(email) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
email comment directly to the Docket without going through
www.regulations.gov, your email address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
