II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance In the Federal Register of April 15, 2020 85 FR 20910 FRL1000654, EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408d3, 21 U.S.C.
346ad3, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition PP 9E8794 by IR4, IR4 Project Headquarters, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 500
College Road East, Suite 201W, Princeton, NJ 08540. The petition requested that EPA establish tolerances in 40 CFR 180.431 for residues of the herbicide clopyralid 3,6-dichloro-2pyridinecarboxylic acid in or on the raw agricultural commodities Onion, bulb, subgroup 307A at 0.4 parts per million ppm; Caneberry subgroup 13
07A at 0.1 ppm; Wheatgrass, intermediate, bran at 12 ppm;
Wheatgrass, intermediate, forage at 9
ppm; Wheatgrass, intermediate, germ at 12 ppm; Wheatgrass, intermediate, grain at 3 ppm; Wheatgrass, intermediate, middling at 12 ppm; Wheatgrass, intermediate, shorts at 12 ppm;
Wheatgrass, intermediate, straw at 9
ppm. That document referenced a summary of the petition prepared by Corteva, the registrant, which is available in the docket, http
www.regulations.gov. No comments were received in response to the notice of filing.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety Section 408b2Ai 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 408b2Aii 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 408b2C 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 FFDCA section 408b2D, and the factors specified in FFDCA section 408b2D, 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 clopyralid including exposure resulting from the tolerances established by this action.
EPAs assessment of exposures and risks associated with clopyralid follows.
In an effort to streamline its publications in the Federal Register, EPA is not reprinting sections that repeat what has been previously published for tolerance rulemakings of the same pesticide chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between tolerance rulemakings and republishing the same sections is unnecessary; EPA considers referral back to those sections as sufficient to provide an explanation of the information EPA considered in making its safety determination for the new rulemaking.
EPA has previously published a number of tolerance rulemakings for clopyralid, in which EPA concluded, based on the available information, that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm would result from aggregate exposure to clopyralid and established tolerances for residues of that chemical.
EPA is incorporating previously published sections from those rulemakings as described further in this rulemaking, as they remain unchanged.
Toxicological Profile. For a discussion of the Toxicological Profile of clopyralid, see Unit III.A. of the May 23, 2018 rulemaking 83 FR 23819 FRL
997713.
Toxicological Points of Departure/
Levels of Concern. For a summary of the Toxicological Points of Departure/
Levels of Concern used for the safety assessment, see Unit III.B. of the May 23, 2018 rulemaking.
Exposure Assessment. Much of the exposure assessment remains the same, although updates have occurred to accommodate exposures from the petitioned-for tolerances. The updates are discussed in this section; the remaining discussion of EPAs assumptions for exposure remain unchanged since the 2018 rulemaking.
For a description of the rest of the EPA
approach to and assumptions for the exposure assessment, see Unit III.C. of the May 23, 2018 rulemaking.
