    ACTION: Notice.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's schedule for reassessing 
    tolerances for pesticide residues in or on raw and processed foods. 
    Publication of this schedule meets the requirements of Federal Food, 
    Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408(q)(3), as established by the 
    Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Under the new law, EPA is required 
    to reassess all existing tolerances and exemptions from tolerances for 
    both active and inert ingredients. EPA is directed to give priority 
    review to pesticides that appear to present risk concerns based on 
    current data. In reassessing tolerances, EPA must consider the 
    aggregate exposure to the pesticide; cumulative effects from other 
    pesticides with a common mode of toxicity; whether there is an 
    increased susceptibility from exposure to the pesticide to infants and 
    children; and whether the pesticide produces an effect in humans 
    similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen or 
    other endocrine effects.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    
    I. Background
    
        The FFDCA authorizes EPA to establish tolerances (maximum residue 
    levels) or exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance, and to 
    modify and revoke tolerances for residues of pesticide chemicals in or 
    on raw agricultural commodities and processed food. Without a tolerance 
    or exemption, food containing pesticide residues is considered to be 
    adulterated and may not be legally moved in interstate commerce. 
    Tolerance procedures are contained in 40 CFR parts 177 through 180; all 
    tolerances and exemptions are listed in parts 180, 185, and 186. 
    Monitoring and enforcement of pesticide tolerances 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.
        On August 3, 1996, the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) was 
    signed into law. Effective upon signature, FQPA significantly amended 
    the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 
    FFDCA. One new FFDCA provision established by FQPA requires the 
    reassessment of all existing tolerances and exemptions from the 
    requirement of a tolerance in a manner consistent with the requirements 
    of the new law.
        Prior to FQPA, EPA reassessed tolerances as part of its 
    reregistration process for pesticides registered prior to November 
    1984. For pesticide chemicals registered after November 1984 (known as 
    the post-1984 chemicals) and for newly registered pesticides, EPA has 
    used the registration process to ensure that the best available 
    information is used to assess the safety of tolerances and exemptions.
    
    II. Regulatory Requirements of FFDCA
    
        Section 408(q) of the FFDCA requires that EPA review within ten 
    years all tolerances and exemptions established prior to the August 3, 
    1996 enactment of FQPA, giving priority to the review of those 
    tolerances or exemptions that appear to pose the greatest risk to 
    public health. In its review of these tolerances and exemptions, EPA 
    must meet the following time table: 33 percent of applicable tolerances 
    and exemptions must be reviewed by August 1999, 66 percent by August 
    2002, and 100 percent by August 2006. FQPA also requires that by August 
    3, 1997, EPA publish a schedule of its reassessment of these tolerances 
    and exemptions. Today's notice satisfies that requirement. Although 
    publication of this tolerance reassessment schedule is not a rulemaking 
    and is not subject to judicial review, EPA welcomes responses to this 
    schedule from interested parties and the general public. Please see 
    part VI, ``Effective Date and Public Response,'' for information on how 
    to respond to this notice.
    
    III. Tolerances and Exemptions Subject to Reassessment
    
        At the time of FQPA's August 1996 enactment, there were 9,728 
    tolerances and exemptions for active and inert ingredients that are 
    subject to the FQPA reassessment time table in section 408(q). Of the 
    tolerances and exemptions for active ingredients subject to the 
    reassessment schedule, 8,190 are tolerances and 712 are exemptions. 
    Also subject to reassessment are 826 exemptions for inert ingredients.
    
    IV. Tolerance Reassessment Program
    
        All existing tolerances and exemptions will be reviewed in the 
    course of the tolerance reassessment program, initially as part of the 
    Agency's pesticide reregistration program and later as part of the 
    registration renewal program. First, tolerance reassessment will occur 
    as a part of the reregistration process. That is, tolerances and 
    exemptions for a pesticide chemical subject to reregistration are 
    reassessed at the time that the reregistration eligibility decision 
    (RED) is completed for the pesticide. EPA will also reassess tolerances 
    and exemptions associated with pesticides for which REDs were issued 
    before FQPA's August 1996 enactment and therefore require tolerance 
    reassessments conducted according to FQPA standards, pesticides that 
    were registered after 1984 and therefore are not subject to 
    reregistration, and food-use inert ingredients. In 2003, after 
    completion of the reregistration program, tolerance reassessment will 
    become an output of the registration renewal process.
    
    A. Reassessment Considerations
    
        In reassessing tolerances, FQPA requires that EPA consider, among 
    other things, the best available data and information on the following:
    
    [[Page 42021]]
    
         The aggregate exposure to the pesticide (including 
    exposure from residential pesticide uses and drinking water).
         The cumulative effects from other pesticides sharing a 
    common mechanism of toxicity.
         Whether there is an increased susceptibility from exposure 
    to the pesticide to infants and children.
         Whether the pesticide produces an effect in humans similar 
    to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen, or other 
    endocrine effects.
    
    B. Tolerance Reassessment Priorities
    
        In order to comply with FQPA reassessment priorities and 
    reregistration scheduling requirements, EPA has divided the pesticides 
    with tolerances and exemptions subject to the reassessment schedule 
    into three groups. In general, tolerances and exemptions for Group 1 
    pesticides will be subject to reassessment first, followed by groups 2 
    and 3. While the actual reassessment of the tolerances and exemptions 
    in these three groups may not correspond directly with the three FQPA 
    reassessment deadlines of August 1999, August 2002, and August 2006, 
    this grouping reflects the overall scheduling priorities for tolerance 
    reassessment.
        1. Group 1--i. Risk- and hazard-based priorities. EPA has placed 
    into Group 1 those tolerances and exemptions associated with the 
    following types of pesticides, which based on the best available 
    information to date appear to pose the greatest risk to the public 
    health:
        (1) Pesticides of the organophosphate, carbamate, and 
    organochlorine classes (it is EPA's intent to conduct tolerance 
    reassessments for organophosphate pesticides in the first three years 
    of the schedule).
         (2) Pesticides that EPA has classified as probable human (groups 
    B1 and B2) carcinogens, and possible human (group 
    C) carcinogens for which EPA has quantified a cancer potency.
        (3) High-hazard inert ingredients.
        (4) Any pesticides that, based on the best available data at the 
    time of scheduling, exceed their reference dose (RfD).
        In making the determination as to which pesticides appear to pose 
    the greatest risk to the public health, whenever possible EPA has taken 
    into account exposure to infants, children, and other sensitive 
    subpopulations.
        ii. Reregistration priorities. Because EPA must, in addition to 
    meeting the tolerance reassessment schedule, also complete the 
    reregistration program by 2002, tolerance reassessments for those 
    pesticides for which REDs were substantially complete prior to FQPA's 
    enactment are also included in Group 1, even though the tolerances for 
    these pesticides may not be among those that appear to pose the 
    greatest risk to the public health. For the sake of completeness and 
    for tracking purposes, those food-use pesticides for which REDs were 
    issued after August 3, 1996 are also listed in Group 1, even though EPA 
    has completed their FQPA tolerance reassessments.
        iii. Tolerance revocations. EPA has also placed in Group 1 
    pesticides for which tolerances and exemptions are in the process of 
    being proposed for revocation. These tolerances and exemptions are 
    included in the total 9,728 tolerances and exemptions. In some cases, 
    revocations reduce theoretical risk in dietary assessments where 
    tolerance-level residues are used. This year, EPA has begun to issue a 
    number of proposed rules to revoke over 1,000 tolerances and 
    exemptions: one notice proposes to revoke tolerances and exemptions 
    associated with pesticides for which all registrations have been 
    canceled; a second notice proposes to revoke tolerances for uses that 
    have been deleted from pesticide registrations; a third notice proposes 
    to revoke tolerances for uses canceled in order to reduce theoretical 
    risks to levels below the reference dose; a fourth notice, already 
    issued, proposes to revoke tolerances for uses no longer considered to 
    be significant livestock feed items; and several other notices propose 
    to revoke tolerances for individual pesticides.
        2. Group 2. Possible human carcinogens not included in Group 1 will 
    be reassessed as part of Group 2. Because EPA intends to complete the 
    reregistration program in 2002, tolerances and exemptions for all 
    remaining pesticides subject to reregistration will also be reassessed 
    as part of Group 2. Other pesticides have been placed into Group 2 
    based on scheduling considerations.
        3. Group 3. EPA has placed in Group 3 the biological pesticides, as 
    well as those inert ingredients referenced in 40 CFR part 180 that EPA 
    has not identified as high-hazard inerts. Also in Group 3 are, as part 
    of the registration renewal program, those post-1984 pesticides with 
    tolerances and/or exemptions not yet reassessed under FQPA.
    
    V. Tolerance Reassessment Schedule
    
        This section presents EPA's schedule for reassessing tolerances and 
    exemptions. The schedule is presented in two tables: In Table 1, column 
    A lists the three tolerance reassessment time frames mandated by FFDCA 
    section 408(q)(1), as established by FQPA; column B estimates the total 
    number of tolerances and exemptions that should be reassessed by the 
    end of each period.
        Table 2 is a comprehensive list of the pesticides with tolerances 
    and/or exemptions subject to tolerance reassessment from the date of 
    this notice until August 3, 2006, divided into groups 1, 2, and 3. 
    Where EPA had the information readily available, the pesticides within 
    a group are arranged according to their chemical class; within a 
    chemical class, pesticides are listed alphabetically. The pesticide 
    names listed in Table 2 correspond with their listing in 40 CFR parts 
    180, 185, and 186, where some common names are also given. Note that 
    each individual pesticide listing may encompass more than one active 
    ingredient. Please refer to the tolerance listings in 40 CFR parts 180, 
    185, and 186 for further information on the active ingredients covered 
    by specific tolerance citations.
        In all, there are a total of 469 pesticides or high-hazard inert 
    ingredients with food use tolerances that are scheduled for 
    reassessment. This includes 228 in group 1, 93 in group 2 and 148 in 
    group 3. Also, there are an additional 823 inert ingredient exemptions 
    that will be dealt with as part of group 3. The total number of 
    pesticides may change during the course of the process, as, for 
    example, in the case of canceled registrations.
    
    VI. Effective Date and Public Response
    
        This schedule is not subject to a formal public comment period, and 
    therefore becomes effective upon publication in the Federal Register. 
    Prior to issuance of this notice, EPA involved various stakeholders 
    through the Pesticide Program Dialogue Committee in a public discussion 
    of EPA's tolerance reassessment program and scheduling priorities. 
    Nevertheless, EPA welcomes additional input from interested parties and 
    the general public, in particular: (1) if they believe there are 
    pesticides that should appear on the list but are omitted from it; or 
    (2) if they believe there are pesticides that should be dropped from 
    the list. The Agency will also keep the list of pesticides up-to-date 
    in its periodic reports to Congress on this program. Public responses 
    to this notice should be submitted to the address in the ``ADDRESSES'' 
    section, with an additional copy sent to Jeff Morris, Special Review 
    and Reregistration Division, at the address and telephone number listed 
    above in the section titled

      33% of all applicable tolerances and                 3,210

      66% of all applicable tolerances and                 6,420            
       exemptions must be reassessed.                  (9,728  x  66%)      
                    August 2006                                             
      100% of all applicable tolerances and               9,728             
       exemptions must be reassessed.                 (9,728  x  100%)      
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        Within each group of the following Table 2, pesticides are 
    organized alphabetically within a given chemical class. The chemical 
    class determination is not equivalent to a common mechanism of action 
    determination. Those evaluations are underway. When no chemical class 
    is given, it is assumed that the pesticide is not a member of an 
    identified class of chemicals. Note that the oxime carbamates are 
    structurally different from carbamates; however, it has not been 
    determined if they share a common mechanism of action. A complete 
    alphabetical listing of the chemicals is available in the public 
    docket; also available in the public docket is a list of all chemicals 
    that EPA classifies as carcinogens.
