II. Summary of Petitioned-For Tolerance In the Federal Register of February 25, 2021 86 FR 11488 FRL1002047, EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408d3, 21 U.S.C.
346ad3, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition PP 0E8862 by IR4, North Carolina State University, 1730
Varsity Drive, Venture IV, Suite 210, Raleigh, NC 27606. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.677 be amended by establishing a tolerance for the residue of the of the miticide cyflumetofen, 2-methoxyethyl a-cyanoa-4-1,1-dimethylethylphenyl-b-oxo2-trifluoromethylbenzenepropanoate in or on hop, dried cones at 30 parts per million ppm. That document referenced a summary of the petition prepared by IR4, the petitioner, which is available in the docket, https
www.regulations.gov. There were no comments 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 cyflumetofen including exposure resulting from the tolerance established by this action.
EPAs assessment of exposures and risks associated with cyflumetofen 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 rulemaking of the same pesticide chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between tolerance rulemaking 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 cyflumetofen, in which EPA concluded, based on the available information, that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm would result from aggregate exposure to cyflumetofen 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.
