SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Legal Authority

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 301 et

seq., as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA),

Pub. L. 104-170, authorizes the establishment of tolerances (maximum

residue levels), exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance,

modifications in tolerances, and revocation of tolerances for residues

of pesticide chemicals in or on raw agricultural commodities and

processed foods pursuant to section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346(a), as amended.

Without a tolerance or exemption, food containing pesticide residues is

considered to be unsafe and therefore ``adulterated'' under section

402(a) of the FFDCA, and hence may not legally be moved in interstate

commerce (21 U.S.C. 331(a) and 342(a)). For a pesticide to be sold and

distributed, the pesticide must not only have appropriate tolerances or

exemptions under the FFDCA, but also must be registered under section 3

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7

U.S.C. 136a

adulterated'' under section

402(a) of the FFDCA, and hence may not legally be moved in interstate

commerce (21 U.S.C. 331(a) and 342(a)). For a pesticide to be sold and

distributed, the pesticide must not only have appropriate tolerances or

exemptions under the FFDCA, but also must be registered under section 3

of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7

U.S.C. 136a.

Under FFDCA section 408(f), if EPA determines that additional data

are needed to support continuation of a tolerance, EPA may require that

those data be submitted by registrants under FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B),

by producers under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) section 4,

or by other persons by order after opportunity for hearing. EPA intends

to use Data Call-In (DCI) procedures for pesticide registrants, and

FFDCA section 408(f)(1)(C) orders for non-registrants as its primary

means of obtaining data. In general, EPA does not intend to use the

procedures under TSCA section 4, because such procedures generally will

not be applicable to pesticides.

Section 408(f) of the FFDCA states that if EPA determines that

additional data are needed to support the continuation of an existing

tolerance or exemption, EPA shall issue a notice that: (1) Requests

that any parties identify their interest in supporting the tolerance or

exemption, (2) solicits the submission of data and information from

interested parties, (3) describes the data and information needed to

retain the tolerance or exemption, (4) outlines how EPA will respond to

the submission of supporting data, and (5) provides time frames and

deadlines for the submission of such data and information.

II. Regulatory Background

t in supporting the tolerance or

exemption, (2) solicits the submission of data and information from

interested parties, (3) describes the data and information needed to

retain the tolerance or exemption, (4) outlines how EPA will respond to

the submission of supporting data, and (5) provides time frames and

deadlines for the submission of such data and information.

II. Regulatory Background

It is EPA's general practice to propose revocation of tolerances

for residues of pesticide active ingredients on food uses that EPA has

canceled. In accord with FFDCA section 408, however, EPA will not

revoke any tolerance or exemption proposed for revocation if any person

will commit to support its retention, and if retention of the tolerance

will meet the tolerance standard established under FQPA. Generally,

interested parties commit to support the retention of such tolerances

in order to permit treated commodities to be legally imported into the

United States, since raw or processed food or feed commodities

containing pesticide residues not covered by a tolerance or exemption

are considered to be adulterated and subject to detention and

regulatory action.

Tolerances and exemptions established for pesticide chemicals with

FIFRA registrations cover residues in or on both domestic and imported

commodities. To retain these tolerances and exemptions for import

purposes only, EPA must make a finding that the tolerances and

exemptions are safe. To make this safety finding, EPA needs data and

information indicating that there is a reasonable certainty that no

harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide residues

covered by the tolerances and exemptions. EPA determines on a case-by-

case basis the data required to determine that a tolerance or exemption

is safe, and in general requires the same technical chemistry and

toxicology data for tolerances without related U.S. registrations as

are required to support U.S. food-use registrations and any resulting

tolerances or exemptions

the pesticide residues

covered by the tolerances and exemptions. EPA determines on a case-by-

case basis the data required to determine that a tolerance or exemption

is safe, and in general requires the same technical chemistry and

toxicology data for tolerances without related U.S. registrations as

are required to support U.S. food-use registrations and any resulting

tolerances or exemptions. (See 40 CFR part 158 for EPA's data

requirements to support domestic use of a pesticide and the

establishment and maintenance of a tolerance. Also, at a future date

EPA will announce its import tolerance policy in a pesticide regulation

(PR) notice.) In most cases, EPA also requires residue chemistry data

(crop field trials) that are representative of growing conditions in

exporting countries in the same manner that EPA requires representative

residue chemistry data from different U.S. regions to support domestic

use of a pesticide and any resulting tolerance(s) or exemption(s). Good

Laboratory Practice (GLP) requirements for studies submitted in support

of tolerances and exemptions for import purposes only are the same as

for domestic purposes; i.e., the studies are required to either fully

meet GLP standards, or have sufficient justification presented to show

that deviations from GLP requirements do not significantly affect the

results of the studies.

Monitoring and enforcement of pesticide tolerances and exemptions

are carried out by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This includes monitoring for

pesticide residues in or on commodities imported into the United

States.

III. Proposed Actions

This document proposes to revoke the tolerances listed at the

regulatory text of this document. EPA is proposing these revocations

because, for specific chemicals, EPA has canceled the food uses covered

by the tolerances.

IV. Effective Date

ent of Agriculture (USDA). This includes monitoring for

pesticide residues in or on commodities imported into the United

States.

III. Proposed Actions

This document proposes to revoke the tolerances listed at the

regulatory text of this document. EPA is proposing these revocations

because, for specific chemicals, EPA has canceled the food uses covered

by the tolerances.

IV. Effective Date

EPA proposes that these actions become effective 30 days following

publication in the Federal Register of a final rule revoking the

tolerances. EPA is proposing this effective date because EPA believes

that all existing stocks of pesticide products labeled for the uses

associated with the tolerances proposed for revocation have been

exhausted.

Any commodities listed in the regulatory text of this document that

are treated with the pesticides subject to this proposal, and that are

in the channels of trade following the tolerance revocations, shall be

subject to

FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established by FQPA. Under this section,

any residue of these pesticides in or on such food shall not render the

food adulterated so long as it is shown to the satisfaction of FDA

that: (1) The residue is present as the result of an application or use

of the pesticide at a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA,

and (2) the residue does not exceed the level that was authorized at

the time of the application or use to be present on the food under a

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. Evidence to show that food was

lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates that the

pesticide was applied to such food.

V. Public Comment Procedures

a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA,

and (2) the residue does not exceed the level that was authorized at

the time of the application or use to be present on the food under a

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. Evidence to show that food was

lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates that the

pesticide was applied to such food.

V. Public Comment Procedures

EPA invites interested persons to submit written comments,

information, or data in response to this proposed rule. After

consideration of comments, EPA will issue a final rule. Such rule will

be subject to objections. Failure to file an objection within the

appointed period will constitute waiver of the right to raise in future

proceedings issues resolved in the final rule.

Comments must be submitted by April 6, 1998. Comments must bear a

notation indicating the docket control number ``OPP-300602.'' Three

copies of the comments should be submitted to either location listed

under ``ADDRESSES'' at the beginning of this document.

This proposal provides 60 days for any interested person to request

that a tolerance be retained. If EPA receives a comment to that effect,

EPA will not revoke the tolerance, but will take steps to ensure the

submission of supporting data and will issue an order in the Federal

needed, the time frames for its submission, and would require that

within 90 days some person or persons notify EPA that they will submit

the data. Thereafter, if the data are not submitted as required, EPA

will take appropriate action under FIFRA or FFDCA.

VI. Public Record and Electronic Submissions

order in the Federal

needed, the time frames for its submission, and would require that

within 90 days some person or persons notify EPA that they will submit

the data. Thereafter, if the data are not submitted as required, EPA

will take appropriate action under FIFRA or FFDCA.

VI. Public Record and Electronic Submissions

The official record for this rulemaking, as well as the public

version, has been established for this rulemaking under docket control

number ``OPP-300602'' (including comments and data submitted

electronically as described below). A public version of this record,

including printed, paper versions of electronic comments, which does

not include any information claimed as CBI, is available for inspection

from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal

holidays. The official rulemaking record is located at the Virginia

address in ``ADDRESSES'' at the beginning of this document.

Electronic comments can be sent directly to EPA at:

will also be accepted on disks in Wordperfect 5.1/6.1 or ASCII file

format. All comments and data in electronic form must be identified by

the docket control number ``OPP-300602''. Electronic comments on this

proposed rule may be filed online at many Federal Depository Libraries.

VII. Regulatory Assessment Requirements

This is a proposed revocation of a tolerance established under

FFDCA section 408. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has

exempted this type of action, i.e., a tolerance revocation for which

extraordinary circumstances do not exist, from review under Executive

Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735,

October 4, 1993). In addition, this proposal does not contain any

information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork

Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any enforceable

duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (P.L. 104-4). Nor does it

require any prior consultation as specified by Executive Order 12875,

entitled Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership (58 FR 58093,

October 28, 1993), special considerations as required by Executive

Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice

in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629,

February 16, 1994), or require special OMB review in accordance with

Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from

Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23,

1997).

In addition, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether the

revocations of tolerances might significantly impact a substantial

number of small entities and concluded that, as a general matter, these

actions do not impose a significant economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities

(62 FR 19885, April 23,

1997).

In addition, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether the

revocations of tolerances might significantly impact a substantial

number of small entities and concluded that, as a general matter, these

actions do not impose a significant economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. The factual basis and the Agency's

certification under section 605(b) for tolerance revocations published

on December 17, 1997 (62 FR 66020), and was provided to the Chief

Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. Since no

extraordinary circumstances exist as to the present revocation that

would change EPA's previous analysis, the Agency is able to reference

the general certification. Any comments about the Agency's

determination should be submitted to EPA along with comments on the

proposal, and will be addressed prior to issuing a final rule.''
