What is the authority for this action? EPA is taking this action under section 408(e) the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(e), which allows EPA to establish a tolerance exemption under FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a et se. Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(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. Pursuant to FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), in establishing or maintaining in effect an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance, EPA must take into account the factors set forth in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C), which 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. . . . '' EPA performs a number of analyses to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide residues. For further discussion of the regulatory requirements of FFDCA section 408 and a complete description of the risk assessment process, see http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/regulating/tolerances.htm. B. What action is the Agency taking? EPA, on its own initiative under FFDCA section 408(e), is establishing exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of various fragrance component substances identified at the end of this document. III. EPA's Proposal In the Federal Register of July 25, 2014 (79 FR 43350) (FRL-9910- 53), EPA proposed, on its own initiative under FFDCA section 408(e), 21 U.S.C. 346a(e), to establish exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of acetaldehyde (CAS Reg.

No. 106-72-9), 2-dodecanol, (2E)- (CAS Reg. No. 20407-84-5), d-limonene (CAS Reg. No. 5989-27-5), ethyl 2- methylbutyrate (CAS Reg. No. 452-79-1), (E)-geraniol (CAS Reg. No. 106- 24-1), (E)-geraniol acetate (CAS Reg. No. 105-87-3), heptanal (CAS Reg. No. 111-71-7), heptanoic acid (CAS Reg. No. 111-14-8), heptyl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 111-70-6), hexanal (CAS Reg. No. 66-25-1), hexanoic acid (CAS Reg. No. 142-62-1), (Z)-3-hexenol (CAS Reg. No. 928-96-1), (Z)-3- hexenol acetate (CAS Reg. No. 3681-71-8), hexyl acetate (CAS Reg. No. 142-92-7), hexyl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 111-27-3), lauric acid (CAS Reg. No.143-07-7), lauric aldehyde (CAS Reg. No. 112-54-9), lauryl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 112-53-8), methyl-[alpha]-ionone (CAS Reg. No. 127-42-4), 3-methyl-2-butenyl acetate (CAS Reg. No. 1191-16-8), 2-methylundecanal (CAS Reg. No. 110-41-8), myristaldehyde (CAS Reg.

No. 112-05-0), nonyl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 143-08-8), octanal (CAS Reg. No. 124-13-0), octanoic acid (CAS Reg. No. 124-07-2), 1-octanol (CAS Reg. No. 111-87-5), palmitic acid (CAS Reg. No. 57-10-3), propionic acid (CAS Reg. No. 79-09-4), stearic acid (CAS Reg. No. 57-11-4), 2-tridecanal (CAS Reg. No. 7774-82-5), 3,5,5- trimethylhexanal (CAS Reg. No. 5435-64-3), undecanal (CAS Reg. No. 112- 44-7), undecyl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 112-42-5), valeraldehyde (CAS Reg. No. 110-62-3), and valeric acid (CAS Reg. No. 109-52-4) when used as fragrance components (i.e., inert ingredients) in antimicrobial pesticide formulations for use on food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils at end-use concentrations not to exceed 100 parts per million (ppm). As discussed in that document, EPA has reviewed the available scientific data and other relevant information in support of this action, consistent with FFDCA section 408(c)(2), and the factors specified in FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C and D). EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a determination on aggregate exposure for these various fragrance components including exposure resulting from the exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance established by this action. For a detailed discussion of the aggregate risk assessments and determination of safety that support the establishment of these exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance, please refer to the July 25, 2014 Federal Register final rule and its supporting documents, available at http://regulations.gov. IV. Public Comments EPA received nine comments to the proposed rule. Six of the comments were fully supportive of the proposed rule. One comment made specific reference to the fragrance component acetaldehyde and stated that the risk assessment of acetaldehyde should reconsider the compound's cancer risk. The comment noted that part of the safety finding for the fragrance components was based on no structural alerts for genotoxicity or carcinogenicity but in the case of acetaldehyde EPA had previously considered acetaldehyde to [[Page 28841]] be a probable human carcinogen based on inadequate human cancer studies and animal studies that have shown increased incidence of nasal tumors in rats and laryngeal tumors in hamsters after inhalation exposure. The Agency agrees with the commenter that the safety analysis provided in the proposed rule, which relies on human exposure threshold values for non-cancer risks, is not applicable to acetaldehyde and therefore, cannot be used to support an exemption for acetaldehyde. As such, EPA is not establishing in this final rule an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for acetaldehyde as a fragrance component for use in antimicrobial pesticide formulations for use on food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food- processing equipment and utensils at end-use concentrations not to exceed 100 ppm. Two comments made reference to fragrance sensitivity among certain individuals. The Agency understands the commenter's concerns, however the legal framework provided by FFDCA section 408 states that tolerances may be set when the pesticide chemical meets the safety standard imposed by that statute. The Agency is required by FFDCA section 408 to estimate the risk of the potential exposure to these residues. Neither the supporting information cited by the commenters or other reliable data demonstrate the occurrence of specific adverse effects directly attributable to exposures to the substances listed in Unit III and EPA has concluded that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population and to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the fragrance components listed in Unit III when used as inert ingredients in antimicrobial formulations for use on food contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy processing equipment, and food processing equipment and utensils at end-use concentrations not to exceed 100 ppm. V. Final Rule and Determination of Safety Except for the exclusion of acetaldehyde, EPA is not making any changes to the risk assessment or final rule text that was proposed in July 25, 2014 Federal Register. Therefore, EPA concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population and to infants and children from aggregate exposure to acetic acid; allyl cylcohexylpropionate; butryic acid; butyl alcohol; citral; citronellol; citronellyl acetate; [beta]-damascone, (Z)-; decanal; (E)-4-decenal; decanoic acid; 1-decanol; 2,6-dimethyl-5- heptanal; 2-dodecanol, (2E)-; d-limonene; ethyl 2-methylbutyrate; (E)- geraniol; (E)-geraniol acetate; heptanal; heptanoic acid; heptyl alcohol; hexanal; hexanoic acid; (Z)-3-hexenol; (Z)-3-hexenol acetate; hexyl acetate; hexyl alcohol; lauric acid; lauric aldehyde; lauryl alcohol; methyl-[alpha]-ionone; 3-methyl-2-butenyl acetate; 2- methylundecanal; myristaldehyde; myristic acid; neryl acetate; n- hexanol; nonanal; nonanoic acid; nonyl alcohol; octanal; octanoic acid; 1-octanol; palmitic acid; propionic acid; stearic acid; 2-tridecanal; 3,5,5-trimethylhexanal; undecanal; undecyl alcohol; valeraldehyde; and valeric acid residues when used as when used as fragrance components (i.e., inert ingredients) in antimicrobial pesticide formulations for use on food-contact surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-processing equipment and utensils at end-use concentrations not to exceed 100 ppm. VI. Other Considerations A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance without any numerical limitation. B. International Residue Limits In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S. tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain the reasons for departing from the Codex level. The Codex has not established a MRL for the fragrance components listed in Unit II above. VII. Conclusion Therefore, exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance are established for residues of acetic acid (CAS Reg. No. 64-19-7), allyl cyclohexyl propionate (CAS Reg. No. 2705-87-5), butryic acid (CAS Reg. No. 107-92-6), butyl alcohol (CAS Reg. No. 71-36-3), citral (CAS Reg. No. 5392-40-5), citronellol (CAS Reg. No. 106-22-9), citronellyl acetate (CAS Reg.

No. 112-30-1), 2,6-dimethyl-5-heptanal (CAS Reg. No. 106-72-9), 2- dodecanol, (2E)- (CAS Reg. No. 20407-84-5), d-limonene (CAS Reg. No. 5989-27-5), ethyl 2-methylbutyrate (CAS Reg. No. 452-79-1), (E)- geraniol (CAS Reg. No. 106-24-1), (E)-geraniol acetate (CAS Reg. No. 105-87-3), heptanal (CAS Reg. No. 111-71-7), heptanoic acid (CAS Reg. No. 111-14-8), heptyl alcohol (CAS Reg.

VIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This action establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance under FFDCA section 408(e). The Office [[Page 28842]] of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted tolerance actions from review under Executive Orders 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563, entitled Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). As a result, this action 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). Nor does it require OMB review or any Agency action under Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); does not 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); and 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 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, but it does not regulate State or tribal governments. Nor does this action alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). Therefore, the Agency has determined that Executive Orders 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) and 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this action does not impose any enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or otherwise significantly or uniquely affect small governments as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency hereby certifies that this action will not have significant negative economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Establishing an exemption from the requirement of a pesticide tolerance is, in effect, the removal of a regulatory restriction on pesticide residues in food and thus such an action will not have any negative economic impact on any entities, including small entities. X. Congressional Review Act Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 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 the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
