In this regulation, EPA again denies objections by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to an action establishing tolerance regulations for the pesticide pymetrozine under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). EPA's previous denial of NRDC's objections, published in the Federal Register on August 10, 2005, was remanded to EPA by the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, for further explanation of EPA's decision on the application of the FFDCA's requirement concerning an additional tenfold safety factor for the protection of infants and children to these pesticide tolerances. In the challenged action, EPA had applied a reduced additional safety factor to several risk assessments for pymetrozine. EPA has reviewed its decision on the children's safety factor in light of the current data on pymetrozine and now determined that the full additional children's safety factor should be applied in assessing the risk of the pymetrozine tolerances. However, EPA still denies NRDC's objections because the increase in the children's safety factor does not change EPA's conclusion that the tolerances are safe. EPA's explanation for its decisions on the children's safety factor and the safety of pymetrozine tolerances are included in this regulation.
