Re: Request for Extension of Exclusive Use Period for Carfentrazone-ethyl
Dear Ms. Miller:
I write to request that EPA confirm an extension of the exclusive use period for carfentrazone-
ethyl ("Carfentrazone") (PC Code 128712). FMC is the innovator and original data submitter for
Carfentrazone. As such, pursuant to FIFRA § 3(c)(l)(F)(ii), FMC is entitled to a one-year
extension of the initial exclusive use period for Carfentrazone for every three minor uses it
registered within seven years of the date of initial registration. Because FMC has registered
more than nine minor uses for Carfentrazone within this time, the initial exclusive use period that
is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2008 for Carfentrazone should be extended until
September 30, 2011.
The Framework for Exclusive Use Under FIFRA
FIFRA § 3(c)(l)(F)(i) provides a ten year exclusive use period for data used to support the initial
registration or amendment of pesticides registered after September 30, 1978:
With respect to pesticides containing active ingredients that are initially
registered under this subchapter after September 30, 1978, data submitted to
support the application for the original registration of the pesticide, or an
application for an amendment adding any new use to the registration and that
pertains solely to such new use, shall not, without the written permission of the
original data submitter, be considered by the Administrator to support an
application by another person during a period often years following the date the
Administrator first registers the pesticide, except that such permission shall not
be required in the case of defensive data.
7U.S.C.§136a(c)(l)(F)(i).

FIFRA § 3(c)(l)(F)(ii) further provides that the initial ten-year period of exclusive use will be
extended by one additional year for each three minor uses registered after August 3, 1996 and
within seven years of the date the pesticide was initially registered if one of the following four
factors are met:
(I) there are insufficient efficacious alternative registered pesticides available
for the use;
(II) the alternatives to the minor use pesticide pose greater risks to the
environment or human health;
(III) the minor use pesticide plays or will play a significant part in managing
pest resistance; or
(IV) the minor use pesticide plays or will play a significant part in an integrated
pest management program.
7 U.S.C, § 136a(c)(l)(F)(ii). The initial exclusive use period, however, can only be extended up
to a total of three additional years. Id.
The statute defines a minor use to include the use of a pesticide on a commercial agricultural
crop where "the total United States acreage for the crop is less than 300,000 acres." FIFRA
§ 2(11X1), 7 U.S.C. § 136(11)(1). The statute also defines a minor use to include those uses that
do "not provide sufficient economic incentive to support the initial registration or continuing
registration of a pesticide for such use" and that meet the four factors listed above. FIFRA
§ 2(I1)(2), 7 U.S.C. § 136(11)(2). As noted by the Agency, there are hundreds of crops that meet
the acreage criterion for a minor use, and that it is easier to identify those crops that do not meet
the definition than to identify those that do. See USEPA, Report on Minor Uses of Pesticides
("Minor Use Report") at 7.
According to EPA, crops that do not meet the minor use definition include: almonds, apples,
barley, beans (snap and dry), canola, corn (field, sweet and pop), cotton, grapes, hay (alfalfa and
other), oats, oranges, peanuts, pecans, potatoes, rice, rye, sorghum, soybeans, sugar beets,
sugarcane, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, turf and wheat. Id. However, the Minor Use Report
emphasizes that, "[t]hese 'major crops'. .. can have minor protection needs, for certain pests or
in certain regions. In such cases a crop meeting the economic definition is eligible for treatment
as a minor use." Id.

Carfentrazone Minor Uses
FMC was granted an initial registration for Carfentrazone Technical (EPA Reg. No. 279-3181)
on September 30, 1998. Corn, soybeans and wheat were the sole crops on the label at the time.
In conjunction with IR-4, FMC in 2001 requested and was granted additional crop tolerances for
caneberries and cotton. 66 Fed. Reg. 39675, 39676 (Aug. 1, 2001).
In 2004, FMC and IR-4 again requested additional tolerances for Carfentrazone. This time the
list was extensive and included both minor uses and crop groups that include minor uses. The
request included: acerola; almond hulls; grass, forage, fodder and hay (group 17); hops;
avocado; atemoya; banana; berry (group 13); birida; borage seed; cacao; cactus; canistel;
cherimoya; citrus (group 10); citrus cultivars and/or hybrids of grapefruit and pummelo,
including uniq fruit; coconut; coffee; crambe seed; custard apple; feijoa; fig; fish; flax seed;
grape; grapefruit; guava; guayule; herbs and spice (group 19); horseradish; ilama; Indian
mulberry; Juneberry; kava; kiwi fruit; lingonberry; lychee; longan; mango; Indian mustard seed;
black mustard seed; okra; olive; palm heart leaves; passionfruit; papaya; pawpaw; peanut;
persimmon; pistachio; pome fruit (group 11); pomegranate; pulasan; pummelo; rambutan; Indian
rapeseed; rapeseed seed; safflower; sapodilla; black sapote; mamey sapote; shellfish; sweet
sorghum stalks; sweet sorghum syrup; soursop; Spanish lime; star apple; starfruit; stone fruit
(group 12); strawberry; strawberrypear; stevia; sugar apple; sugarcane; sunflower seed; ti leaves;
tea; tree nut (group 14); tuberous and corm vegetables (subgroup 1C); vanilla; leafy brassica
vegetables (group 5); bulb vegetables (group 3); cucurbit vegetables (group 9); foliage of legume
vegetables (group 7); fruiting vegetables (group 8); leaves of root and tuber vegetables (group 2);
leafy vegetables, except brassica (group 4); legume vegetables (group 6); root and tuber
vegetables (group 1); wasabi roots; and wax jambu. 69 Fed. Reg. 58071, 58072 (Sept. 29, 2004).
On September 30, 2004, FMC was granted an amended registration adding these uses to its
Carfentrazone Technical label (EPA Reg. No. 279-3181). These uses were added as well to
FMC's Aim Herbicide label on November 9, 2004 (EPA Reg. No. 279-3194) and to FMC's Aim
EC (EPA Reg No. 279-3241) and Aim EW (279-3242) labels on November 8, 2004. See
Attachment 1. The current production labels for Aim EC and Aim EW show that FMC /
continues to market these uses. See Attachment 2.
Of the crops added to the FMC labels, over fifty likely qualify as minor uses because their total
U.S. crop acreage is less than 300,000 acres. Further, these uses were all registered after
August 3, 1996 and within seven years after Carfentrazone was initially registered (i.e. before
September 30, 2005).

The Four Factors
The last part of the analysis is whether the proposed minor use meets one of the four factors
listed in FIFRA § 3(c)(l)(F)(ii). However, it would be extremely burdensome and costly to
describe how each of the numerous minor uses registered meet one of the factors. Therefore,
FMC has chosen twelve uses for the Agency to consider at this time. FMC requests that FPA
notify it as soon as possible if further use descriptions are necessary.
The attached report by R3 Ag Consulting details ten minor use crops and two important minor
uses on major crops. See Attachment 3. In each instance, Carfentrazone will meet one or more
of the four factors required for extension of exclusive use. For example, the report found the
following:
• Blackberries: Carfentrazone is the only truly effective product for caneburing in Oregon
blackberries. Thus, without it there are insufficient efficacious alternatives.
Carfentrazone is also safer to handlers than the alternatives based on label precautionary
statements. Thus, the alternatives pose greater risk to human health.
• Raspberries: The same performance and safety issues for blackberries apply to
raspberries grown in Oregon and Washington.
• Hops: For hops grown in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, Carfentrazone plays a
significant role in the IPM program for control of powdery mildew. It is much more
efficacious than paraquat, the only alternative. Thus, without Carfentrazone there is no
efficacious alternative product for this use.
• Fresh Market Tomatoes: In Florida, Carfentrazone is a significant tool used in the IPM
program to control silverleaf whitefly in tomatoes grown for fresh market. It is also used
to control weeds that have become resistant to the available alternatives, paraquat and
diquat. Thus, Carfentrazone plays a significant part in an IPM program managing pest
resistance, and without it there are insufficient efficacious alternatives for this use.
• Fresh Market Eggplant: Like fresh market tomatoes, Carfentrazone is used in Florida for
management of paraquat resistant weeds in eggplant grown for fresh market. Alternative
preemergence herbicides registered for use in eggplant do not provide commercially
acceptable control of these weeds and postemergent alternatives are limited in their use
and exhibit poor efficacy. Some of the alternatives are also more dangerous to use than
Carfentrazone. Thus, there are insufficient efficacious alternatives available for use,
Carfentrazone plays a significant part in managing weed resistance, and it also poses less
risk to handlers.

• Wild Rice: There are very few herbicides registered for use on wild rice, and only
Carfentrazone can be used during the growing period in California. Clearly there are
insufficient efficacious alternatives available.
• Bermudagrass Grown for Seed: Carfentrazone is one of only four posternergent
broadleaf herbicides registered for this use. It does not have grazing and feeding
restrictions that some of the alternatives have, controls weed species that some of the
alternatives do not, and does not have use restrictions in California. Carfentrazone
therefore plays a significant part in managing weed resistance as part of an integrated
weed management program, and there are clearly insufficient alternatives for this use.
• Pistachios: California produces close to 100% of the pistachios in the U.S.
Carfentrazone is used to control broadleaf weeds in the late season prior to harvest.
Carfentrazone is generally safer, has a shorter pre-harvest interval, and is generally more
efficacious than the alternatives. It is also an important tool in managing the developing
resistance of some broadleaf weeds to glyphosate in California. Carfentrazone thus plays
a significant part in managing weed resistance as part of an IPM program.
* Prunes: Like pistachios, California produces nearly 100% of the prunes in the U.S.
Carfentrazone is used in an overall integrated weed management program in prunes to
control broadleaf weeds especially in the late season prior to harvest. There are only four
alternatives to control broadleaf weeds and Carfentrazone is important in controlling
developing resistance in California to glyphosate. Carfentrazone thus plays a significant
part in an IPM program managing broadleaf weed resistance in prunes. It also poses less
risk than some of the alternative products.
• Nectarines: California also produces 95% of the nectarines in the U.S. Like pistachios
and prunes, glyphosate resistance is a problem for nectarines. In nectarines,
Carfentrazone is important for use in a resistance management program for broadleaf
weeds and it fills an industry need for use close to harvest where there is no other
registered product available for that use. It thus plays a significant part in managing pest
resistance as part of an IPM program and there are no alternatives available for a key use.
• Flue-Cured Tobacco: Although tobacco is not considered a minor crop, the use of
Carfentrazone on flue-cured tobacco after first priming is a minor use on a major crop.
FMC also did not have sufficient economic incentive to register Carfentrazone on
tobacco for this use. Carfentrazone is the only herbicide available that provides
posternergent control of broadleaf weeds in flue-cured tobacco production beyond the
-------

layby timing and after harvest has been started. Thus, it plays a significant part in an IPM
program and there are no efficacious alternatives for this use.
• Cotton Stand Removal: Although cotton is not considered a minor crop, the use of
Carfentrazone on cotton for removal of failed cotton stands is a minor use on a major
crop. FMC also did not have sufficient economic incentive to register Carfentrazone on
cotton for this use. Failed cotton stands need to be removed quickly to allow replanting,
Unlike the alternatives, there are no restrictions for replanting after Carfentrazone use and
cotton may be replanted the same day. There are no alternatives available that allow
rapid replanting of cotton.
With the necessary requirements met for extending the initial exclusive use period for
Carfentrazone, FMC requests that EPA confirm in writing that the initial exclusive use period for
Carfentrazone is extended for three years and will not expire until September 30, 201 1.

supplemental information from FMC.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Aim is a water dispersible granule formulation. Aim is to be mixed
with water and applied to labeled crops for selective postemergence
control of broadleaf weeds Weed control is best when the product
is applied to actively growing weeds up lo 4 inches in height. Aim is
a contact herbicide.
Aim is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid
significant crop response, applications should not be made within 6 -
8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present on
the crop. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of
susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent
days necrosis and death of the plant occur. Due to environmental
conditions and with certain spray tank additives, some herbicidal
symptoms may appear on the crop. However, the crop recovers
quickly with no loss in yield.
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature.
moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect the
activity of Aim. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms
may be accelerated- White under very dry conditions, the expression
of herbicide symptoms is delayed, and weeds hardened off by
drought are less susceptible to Aim.
Tank Mixtures
Aim may be tankmixed with other herbicides lo control weeds not
listed on this label. Read and follow all manufacturers' label
recommendations for the companion herbicide except for specific
recommendations on this label. Tank mixtures of Aim with EC
formulations of other crop protection products, crop oil concentrate.
methylated seed oil. silicone based adjuvants, 28% nitrogen or
ammonium sulfate may increase crop response.
Adjuvant Use Requirements
Use a non-ionic surfactant {NIS} having at least 80% active
ingredient at 0.25% vrv (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) or
a 28% nitrogen (UAN) at 2 to 4 quarts per 100 gallons of spray
solution Ammonium sulfate (AMS) may be used at 2-4 pounds per
acre where recommended by those companion herbicides listed on
this label. In the latter case, the tevel of leaf speckling may be higher
than with NIS atone. Crop oil (COC) or crop oil plus either 28%
nitrogen or ammonium sulfate may be used with companion
herbicides (sted on this label and may be recommended in certain
situations.
Mixing and Loading Instructions:
Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with dean water. Make sure the agitation
system is operating while adding products. Prepare a slurry of Aim
in a clean container using dean water. Slowly add the Aim/water
slurry. Carefully rinse the slurry container adding the rinsate to the
spray tank. Complete filling the spray tank to the desired level The
spray tank agitation should be sufficient to ensure uniform spray
mixture during application and until the spray tank has been
emptied. When tankmixing with other products, Aim should be mixed
first in [he spray tank. After the Aim is thoroughly mixed, add the
other products as specified on their label. Ensure the compatibility of
other products with Aim before mixing them together in the spray
tar*. Avoid the overnight storage of Aim spray mixtures. Premixing
Aim spray solutions in nurse tanks is not recommended.
Maintain continuous spray solution agitation until all the spray
solution has been used.
Do not use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution
below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray solution to after the pH
range as appropriate-
Spray Equipment Clean-Out:
Many new pesticides are very active at low rate*, especially to
sensitive crops. Residues left In mixing equipment, spray
tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles on cause crop effects
If they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible after
spraying Aim and before using the sprayer equipment for any
other applications, the sprayer equipment must be thoroughly
cleaned using the following procedure. In addition, users must
take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment clean-out
for any other products mixed with Aim as required on the other
product labels. Mora complete cleaning can be achieved if the
spray system Is cleaned Immediately following the application.
1. Drain sprayer lank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a
high pressure detergent wash to remove physical sediment and
residues from the inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse.
Then, thoroughly flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray
nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and dean spray tips and
all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately in
the ammonia solution of Step 2.
2. Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons
of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100 gallons of clean
water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of
the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush
hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.
3. Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can ba achieved
if the ammonia solution or fresh water is left in the spray tank,
hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.
4. Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system,
Rinse the tank with dean water and flush through the hoses, spray
boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray
tips arid all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip)
separately in an ammonia solution
-------
S. Property dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in
accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and
guidelines.
Do not apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time
with Aim spray solution remaining in the tank, spray lines, spray
boom plumbing, spray nozztes or strainers.
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and
nozzles with clean water before beginning any application
Should small quantities of Aim remain in inadequately cleaned
mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may be released
dunng subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain
crops and other vegetation. FMC accepts no lability for any effects
due to Inadequately cleaned equipment.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
GROUND APPLICATION
Use ground sprayers designed, calibrated and operated to deliver
uniform spray droplets to the targeted plant or plant parts. Overlaps
and slower ground speeds (caused by continuing to spray white
starting, slopping or turning) may result in higher application rates
and possible crop response.

Conventional Boom and Nozzle Sprayers
Use a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the appropriate
nozzles, spray tips and screens and adjusted to provide optimum
spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating
pressures. Use nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray
droplets. Do not exceed 30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise
required by the manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles. Apply a
minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre. Use higher spray
volumes when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy.
Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than 18 Niches above
tha crop. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application of high
herbicide rates directly over the rows and/or into the whorl of treated
crop plants.
Directed Sprayers
Aim may be applied with drop nozzles or other spray equipment
capable of directing the spray to the target weeds and away from
sensitive plant parts. Aim may be applied up to the maximum rate
for the target crop for the control of larger weed sizes or weeds not
controlled with lower use rates. Use appropriate rates of adjuvants
such as nonioruc surfactants, crop oil concentrates or methylated
seed oils.
Hooded Sprayers
Hooded sprayers may also be used to apply Aim, Refer to the
Hooded Sprayer Section on page 5 for specific adjustment and
operation instructions.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum
coverage white producing a minimal amount of Tine droplets. Apply
at a minimum of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre. Higher aerial
spray volumes are required for harvest aid/defoliation treatments.
Higher spray volumes are required when there Is a Cense weed
population or crop canopy.
Spray Drift Management
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors
determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower
are responsible for considering all these factors when making
decisions
The following drift management requirements must be followed to
avoid off-target movement from applications to agricultural field
crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications.
public health uses or to applications of dry materials.
1. The distance of tie outer most nozzles on the boom must not
exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air
stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45
degrees.

Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large
droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest
droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger
droplets reduces drift potential, but wiS not prevent drift if
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable
environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity.
and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Spray Droplet Size
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical
spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
droplets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended
pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger
droplets. When higher flow rales are needed, use higher flow rate
nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that
provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - For aenal application, orient nozzles so that
the spray is released parallel to (he airstream produces larger
droplets than other orientations and Is the recommended practice.
Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and
increase drift potential.
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended
application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce
larger droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles. Solid stream
nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the
lowest drift
Boom Length • For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective
boom length to toss than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may
further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height - Aerial applications should not be mace at a
height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless
a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at
the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to
evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment • Swalh adjustment distance should increase,
with Increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)
Wind - Drift potential is lowest between winds speeds of 3-10 mph
However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should
(shall)" be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and
high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind
patterns. Every applicator should (shall)" be familiar with local wind
patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity - When making applications n iow
relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets lo
compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe
when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions - Applications should (shall)" not occur
during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes
small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This
cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable
winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are
common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the
morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog: however, if
fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement
of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator.
Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air
mixing.
Sensitive Areas - The pesticide should (shall)" only be applied
when the wind is blowing away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g.
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or
endangered species, non-target crops).

FALLOW SYSTEMS
Apply Aim by ground or aerially alone or with other herbicides in the
fallow period prior to planting or the emergence of any crop or
rotational crop listed on this label to control or suppress annual
broadteaf weeds. For best performance, make applications to
actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than 3
inches across. Coverage Is essential for good weed control.
Apply Aim at up to 1.24 ounces (up to 0.031 pound active
ingredient) par acre in fallow systems. A nonionic surfactant or crop
oil concentrate must be used to enhance activity of Aim in fallow
systems. Use a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100
gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient or a
petroleum or vegetable seed based crap oil concentrate a! 1.5 to 2.0
pints per acre.
Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds
requires a tank mix of a broad-spectrum bumdown herbicide such
as RoundUp, or other glyphosate products, Touchdown® or
Grarnoxone® Extra. When tankmixing Aim with other products, be
sure the Aim is mixed in the spray tank water first. For specific
mixing instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions
under the GENERAL INFORMATION section
For all products used in tank mixes, refer to the specific product
labels for all restrictions on tankmixing and observe all label
precautions instructions and rotational cropping restrictions.
PREPLAN! BURNDOWN
Apply Aim alone or with other herbicides or liquid fertilizers as a
burn-down treatment prior to planting or emergence of labeled crops
to control or suppress annual broadleaf weeds or prior crop residue.
For best performance, make applications to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage
is essential for good control. Optimum broad-spectrum control of
annual and perennial weeds requires a tank mix of a broad

Directions for Use:
Aim may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds
between the rows of (he above listed crops. This treatment may be
made to crops grown in rows, and includes crops grown in rows
where mulch or plastic barriers are used as a weed control loo I in
the drill or plant line. Aim may be applied at use rates up to 1.24
ounces (0.031 pound active ingredient) per broadcast acre per
application in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of finished spray
Aim may be tankmixed with other pesticides registered for this
treatment pattern.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage
I* essential for good control.
Use a quality spray adjuvant such as crop oil concentrate (COC) or
nomonic surfactant (NIS) at the recommended rates.
Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted and operated in such
a manner to totally enclose the spray pattern and to prevent any
spray deposition to green stems, leaf tissue, flowers or fruit of the
crop. Sprayers should (shall)" not be operated al more than five (5)
miles per hour in order to minimize vertical movement of the sprayer
during application, including the bouncing or raising of the
equipment. Use extreme cars in applying to fields where the soil
surface is uneven, has deep furrows, drains or other contours that
would disturb the adjustment and positioning of the spray equipment
and/or the Spray pattern. Applications must not be made when wind
conditions may disturb the spray patterns and result in spray
deposition to sensitive plants or plant parts.

HARVEST AID TREATMENT
Aim may be applied to the soybeans and the grain/forage crops
(barley, millet, oats, nee. sorghum, trilicale. wheat) to defoliate
and/or desiccate troublesome broadleaf weeds such as
mominggiories, pigweeds, velvetteaf and others that may be present
at harvest. Aim may be used atone or as a tank mixture with other
harvest aids.
Applications should (shall)" be made when the crop is mature and
the grain has begun to dry down, or according to Extension Service
recommendations in the use area. Apply Aim as a broadcast spray
at rates not to exceed the amount as listed in the MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE AIM USE TABLE page 4. If treatments of Aim have
been made to the crop earlier, that volume must be considered in
determining the maximum use rate as a harvest aid treatment.
Applications should (shall)" be made in spray volume sufficient to
provide complete coverage of foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons
of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per
acre for aerial application.
Use a crop oil concentrate (COC) at the rate of 1.0% v/v (1 gallon of
COC per 100 gallons of spray solution) or other suitable adjuvant at
recommended rates
Do not apply within 3 days of harvest.
Coverage Is essential for satisfactory performance. Repeat
application If necessary.
If applied as a tank mixture, refer to the other product's label for
restrictions on tank mixing, and observe all label precautions,
instructions and rotational cropping restrictions
CORN
Field Corn, Seed Corn, Popcorn, Corn
Silage, and Sweet Corn (Processing and
Fresh Market)
Apply Aim alone or as a tank mixture with other herbicides to
emerged and actively growing weeds. Apply to corn in all tillage
systems from 30 days before planting up to 14 leaf collar growth
stage. Do not apply when conditions favoring drift or when wind is
above 10 mph.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches high and rosettes less than 3 inches across.
Coverage is essential for good control.
Use a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of
spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient. Under dry
conditions the use of a crop oil concentrate may improve weed
control. The use of a crop Oil concentrate may increase leaf
speckling on the treated com leaves
To control weeds not listed on this label, Aim may be tank
mixed with other herbicides registered for use in com. When tank
mixing Aim with other products, be sure Aim herbicide is added to
the spray tank water first and thoroughly mixed. For specific mixing
instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the
GENERAL INFORMATION sections.
Refer to the other product's label for restrictions on tanktnixing, and
observe all label precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping
restrictions. Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than 18
inches above the crop. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application
of high herbicide rates directly over the raws and/or into the whorl of
the com plant. Overlaps and slower ground speeds (caused by
continuing to spray while starting, stopping or turning) may result in
higher application rates and possible crap response.
Hooded Sprayer Applications
Aim may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds
between the rows of the crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.

applications may result in spray being concentrated into the whorl of
the plant that will increase leaf response. To minimize application
-------
into the whorl of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed
sprayers must be used to direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
Sweat Corn Production
Aim may be applied to sweet com, however, the user assumes all
responsibility for herbicide tolerance with such use. All
hybrids/varieties have not been tested for sensitivity to Aim herbicide
nor does FMC Corporation have access to all seed company or food
processor data. Broadcast applications may result in spray being
concentrated into the whori of the plant that will increase leaf
response. To minimize application into the whori of the plants, drop
nozzles or other type directed sprayers must be used to direct the
spray to the targeted weeds.
Therefore, any crop response arising from the use of Aim herbicide
on sweet com is the responsibility of the user. Use Aim herbicide
only under the recommendation of the seed company, food
processor, or State Agnculturai Extension Service.
COTTON
TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Removal of Failed Cotton Stands
Apply Aim at the rate of up to 1.0 ounce (up to 0.025 pound active
ingredient) per acre broadcast as a foliar spray over the top of the
remaining cotton plants with sufficient spray volume to provide
coverage of the cotton plant, particularly the terminal area.
Coverage Is essential for good control.
Use a crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of
spray solution).
Do not apply when conditions favoring drift exist or wind is above 10
mph.
Hooded Sprayer Application*
Aim may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled weeds
between (he rows of the crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Post-directed and Lay-by Application
Aim Herbicide is a contact herbicide for postemergence directed
sprayer or hooded/shielded sprayer applications for the control of
broadleaf weeds In cotton. Apply Aim Herbicide alone or as a tank
mixture with other herbicides to emerged and actively growing
weeds. When tankmixing Aim with other products, be sure the Aim
is mixed in the spray tank water first. For specific mixing
instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the
GENERAL INFORMATION section. Applications of Aim or Aim tank
mixes should (shall)'* be made with directed sprayers or hooded
sprayers to prevent contact of spray solution with the cotton plant.
Do not allow spray solution to contact cotton foliage or green stem
tissue. Directed spray equipment should (shall)" position nozzles a
minimum 3 to 4 inches above the soil, with nozzles directed beneath
the crop campy Aim or Aim tank mix applications should (shall)**
be made to cotton that is a minimum of 6 inches In height.
Applications to cotlon at 5 to 6 nodes or less must be made with
hooded or shielded sprayer equipment to completely avoid contact
with cotton plants. Lay-by applications of Aim or Aim tank mixtures
at later growth stages of cotton may be made when cotton plants
have achieved a height of 12 inches or more with sufficient bark
development and height differential between crop bottom leaves and
the soil. Spray solution should (shall)*' be directed at the base of
cotton plants for minimal contact with green stem tissue or foliage
while maintaining maximum contact with broadleaf weeds that are at
appropriate treatment size
Do not apply when conditions favoring drift exist or wind is above 10
mph.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches tall and rosettes lass than 3 inches across. Coverage
is essential for good control.
Use a crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of
spray solution).

conditions, a high quality sprayable liquid nitrogen fertilizer (2-4% v/v
or 2- 4 gallons per 100 gallon spray solution) may be used in
addition to the nonionic surfactant. Apply as a post-directed
treatment with spray directed toward the base of the plant and avoid
contact with soybean foliage. In certain situations, the use of spray
shields may reduce spray contact with soybean foliage. Aim
herbicide contact with soybean foliage can result in significant crop
response at the higher rates.

TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Weed Control
Apply Aim for postemergence weed control of certain susceptible
broadleaf weeds when used alone or in combination with other
herbicides. Apply Aim alone or as a tank mixture with other
herbicides to emerged and actively growing weeds. Apply Aim up to
1.24 ounces (up to Q.031 pound active ingredient) per acre. Aim
alone or tar* mixtures may be used for general weed control, in
middles (between rows of trees), and in strips (in row of trees). Aim
may be applied at any time during the season. Aim may be mixed
with other herbicides that have preemergence or postemerganca
activity Any preemergenca activity must rely on activity from other
herbicides as directed on their labels. Contact herbicides such as
glyphosate (Roundup Ultra®. Touchdown®) and paraquat
(Gramoxone®) may be tankmixed with Aim for broader spectrum
weed control
Sucker Management
Undesirable sucker growth from the base of the trunks or root
sprouts may be managed with Aim. Apply Aim at 1.24 ounces (0,031
pound active ingredient) per acre. Suckers and other undesirable
growth must be treated when the tissue is young and not mature
and hardened off. Care must be taken not to allow spray mist to
contact desirable fruit or foliage or green bark (see Precautions).
Hooded Sprayer Applications
Aim may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeied weeds
between the rows of the crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Equipment and Application
Coverage is essential for good control. Use a spray volume
adequate to get thorough coverage, but use a minimum of 10
gallons of finished Spray per acre. Apply only with ground
equipment. Applications may be made with boom equipment,
hooded sprayers, shielded sprayers, hand-held and high volume
wands or orchard guns. Always add Aim to the spray tank first.
See "Mixing and Loading Instructions" tinder GENERAL
INFORMATION.
Control is enhanced with the addition of a nonlofiic surfactant (NIS)
or crop oil concentrate (COC). Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) at
0.25% v/v (2 pints NIS per 100 gallons) or a crop wl concentrate at
1 % v/v (one gallon COC per 100 gallons).
Precautions
Extreme caution must be used during applications when
desirable fruit or foliage are present in order to avoid fruit
spotting and/or leaf necrosis. Do not allow spray mist of Aim to
come in contact with desirable fruit or foliage. On seedling or newly
transplanted trees do not allow spray to contact green bark of trunk
area. Other herbicides may be more injurious to young trees than
Aim; so, if tank mixtures are used, the precautions and restrictions
on the labels of all tankmixed herbicides must be followed
Restrictions

TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Pra-transplant bumdown
Aim is a contact herbicide for pre-transplant bumdown control of
hroadleaf weeds in tobacco. Apply Aim as a broadcast application
alone or as a tank mixture with other herbicides to emerged and
actively growing weeds. Aim may be applied up to one (1) day prior
to transplanting
Shielded spray or Hooded spray
Aim may be applied using shielded sprayers or hooded sprayers to
emerged and actively growing broadteaf weeds in tobacco from
transplanting until layby. Shielded spray or hooded spray
applications of Aim or Aim tank mixes should utilize application
equipment that will prevent contact of spray solution with the
tobacco plant. Do not allow spray solution to contact tobacco foliage
or green stem tissue. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer Applications
section of this label for additional specific use directions.
Directed spray after first priming - Flue Cured tobacco only
Aim may be applied as a directed spray application after the first
priming in flue cured tobacco only for the control of emerged and
actively growing broadteaf weeds. Directed spray equipment should
position nozzles a minimum 3 to 4 inches above the soil, with
nozzles directed underneath the crop canopy. Spray solution should
be directed at the base of tobacco plants for minimal contact with
foliage while maintaining maximum contact with broadteaf weeds
that are at appropriate treatment size. Do not apply when conditions
favor drift or wind is above 10 mph.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 Inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage
Is essential for good control. Use a crop 08 concentrate (COC> at
1% v/v (1 gallon COC per 100 gallons of spray solution}.

appropriate timing. Refer to the other product's labe! for restrictions
on tankmixing, and observe all label precautions, instructions and
rotational cropping restrictions.
Restrictions
Do not apply within 6 days o' Harvest
POTATO
TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Aim may be used alone or in a tank mix combination with other
herbicides and insecticides as a fallow systems treatment, as a
preplan! bumdown treatment and/or as a harvest aid to desiccate
potatoes and those susceptible weeds thai may be present.
Fallow Systems
See the Fallow Systems section for directions for application
Preplan! Bumdown
See the Preplant Bumdown section for directions for application.
Hooded Sprayer Applications
Aim may be applied with hooded sprayers !o control labeled weeds
between the rows of the crap. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Harvest Aid Desiccation Application (For potatoes only)
Apply Aim as a broadcast spray at a rate of 2 to 3,6 ounces (0.05 Ib.
to 0.09 Ib active ingredient) per acre in spray volume sufficient to
provide complete coverage of potato foliage. Aim may be used
alone or as a tank mixture win other potato harvest aids as a
desiccant prior to harvest. Aim can be applied foltarly to potatoes in
the later stages of senescence and will provide adequate
desiccation of potato foliage and vines. Aim wSI also desiccate late
season susceptible broadleaf weeds to aid In tuber harvest.
Adequate desiccation is generally achieved within 14 days after the
Initial treatment is applied. If the potato crop is in the active
vegetative growth stage when desiccation is initiated, two
applications may be required to provide desiccation of leaf and stem
tissue. Dense potato canopy, large plant size, and environmental
conditions not conducive to product absorption or activity will reduce
initial application efficacy and increase the need for a second
application. If a second application is necessary, apply at 7 to 14
days after the first application. Thorough coverage of the potato
plant to be desiccated Is essential. Use a sufficient volume of
water to obtain thorough coverage of Ine potato leaves and vines.
For best results, apply Aim when the potato crop is in the early
stages of natural senescence.
Ground Application: Apply Aim in at least 20 gallons of water per
acre using 00-degree or 11D-degree flat-fan nozzles. Select a spray
pressure between 30 to 60 pounds per square inch (psi) measured
at the nozzle to obtain a droplet size of approximately 300 microns.
Vary the spray volume and spray pressure as indicated by trie
density of the potato canopy and vines to assure thorough spray
coverage. Increase the spray volume and pressure if the potato
canopy is dense or under cool, cloudy or dry conditions. Increased
spray volumes will enhance performance. If Turbo TeeJet® nozzles
are used, a spray pressure of 60 psi or more will be required to get
thorough coverage. Do not apply when winds are gusty or prone to
cause herbicide drift from desired target.
Aerial Application: Apply Aim with aerial equipment 5 to 10
gallons of water per acre, using higher volumes when potato
canopies and vines are dense. Apply at a height of 10 feet or less
above the potato canopy and use low drift nozzles. Adjust the
nozzles to provide a uniform pattern and a droplet size of 350 to 450
microns. Do not apply aerially when atmospheric conditions are
condueivs to spray drift and do not apply when wind could drift to
surrounding vegetation.
Adjuvant: Aim must be appHed with either a methylated seed oil
adjuvant at a minimum of 1 quart per acre or 1% volume to volume
when applied to volumes > 20 gallons per acre. A silicons based
adjuvant at recommended label rates.
Tank mixes: Aim may be applied as 9 tank mix or as a sequential
application with other potato desiccants. Refer to the other product's
label for restrictions on tankmixing, and observe all label
precautions, instructions and rotational cropping restrictions.
Restrictions
1. Do not apply more than 0,018 Ib ai of Aim per acre per
crop season as a desiccanl.
2. Do not apply when conditions favoring drift exist or wind is
above 10 mph
3. Do not apply within 7 days of harvest.
GRASS
(Forage, Fodder, Hay, Seed)
Aim may be applied alone or in combination with other registered
pesticides for the control of weeds in rangeland, pastures, hay,
grasses grown for hay or silage and grass seed production. Aim
may be applied at use rales up to 1.24 ounces (0.031 pound active
ingredient) per broadcast acre. For optimum results, weeds should
be treated when small. Applications should (shaB)** be made with
ground equipment delivering a minimum of 10 gallons of finished
spray per acre and adjusted to provide optimum coverage of the
target weeds.
When Ami is applied atone, grazing and hay operations may
proceed with rto restrictions. For tar* mixture applications, refer to
the use directions and restrictions of the mixture product.
Restrictions:
Oo not make more than three applications per season.
Oo not make applications less lhan 7 days apart.

TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Post-Directed Application For Sucker Management
Aim is a contact Herbicide for directed spray application to the basal
portion of the hop plant for the management ot sucker growth. Apply
Aim at 1.2 ounces (0.03 Ib active ingredient) per acre per application
in a minimum of 20 gallons of spray solution by boom-type ground
application equipment only to the basal portion of the hop plant
(approximately the lower 1 5 feet) and to the sucker mat which
extends from the base of the plant to approximately 1.5 to 2 feel into
the row.
An alternate row treatment program may be followed to avoid the
removal of excessive photosynthetic capacity from the crown area.
When treating alternating raws on different days, the equivalent
maximum rate must not exceed 0.6 ounces (0.05 Ib active
ingredient) of Aim per application per treated row area totaling 0.5
A maximum of 4.3 ounces (0.12 Ib active ingredient) of Aim may be
appfed per acre per season. Allow 14 days between treatments of
Aim.
Coverage Is essential to obtain good basal growth management.
Use a nonionic surfactant (NIS) having at least 80 percent active
ingredient at 0.25 % v/v (2 pints of NIS per 100 gallons of spray
volume) or a quality crop oil concentrate (COC) at recommended
rates.
If Aim is used in a tank mixture, refer to the other product labels for
all restrictions on tank mixing and observe an label precautions,
instructions and rotational cropping restrictions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Aim EC is a emutsifwble concentrate formulation. Aim EC Is to be
mixed with water and applied to labeled crops for selective
postemergence control of broadleaf weeds. Weed control is best
when the product is applied to actively growing weeds up to 4 Inches
in height. Aim EC is a contact herbicide.
Aim EC is rapidly absorbed through 8ie foliage of plants. To avoid
significant crop response, applications should not be made within 6 -
8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present on
the crop. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of
susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent
days necrosis and death of the plant occur. Due to environmental
conditions and with certain spray tank additives, some herbieMal
symptoms may appear on the crop. However, the crop recovers
quickly with no loss in yield.
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature,
moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect the
activity of Aim EC. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide
symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the
expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed, and weeds hardened
off by drought are less susceptible to Aim EC
Tank Mixtures
Aim EC may be tankmixed with other herbicides to control weeds
not listed on this label. Read and follow ail manufacturers' label
recommendations for the companion herbicide except for specific
recommendations on this label. Tank mixtures of Aim EC with EC
formulations of other crop protection products, crop oil concentrate,
methylated seed o(, siScone based adjuvants, 28% nitrogen or
ammonium sulfate may increase crop response.
Adjuvant Use Requirements
Use a non-tonic surfactant (MIS) having at least 80% active
ingredient at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) or
a 28% nitrogen (UAN) at 2 to 4 quarts per 100 gallons of spray
solution. Ammonium sulfate (AMS) may be used at 2-4 pounds per
acre where recommended by those companion herbicides listed on
this label. In the latter case, the level of leaf speckling may be higher
than with NIS alone. Crop oil (COC) or crop oil plus either 28%
nitrogen or ammonium sulfate may be used with companion
herbicides listed on this label and may be recommended in certain
situations.
Mixing and Loading Instruction*:
Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with dean water. Make sure the agitation
system is operating while adding products. Complete filling the
spray tank to the desired level. The spray tank agitation should be
sufficient to ensure uniform spray mixture during application and
until the spray tank has been emptied. When tankmixing with other
products. Aim EC should be mixed first in the spray tank. After the
Aim EC is thoroughly mixed, add the other products as specified on
their label. Ensure the compatibility of other products with Aim EC
bsfore mixing them together in the spray tank. Avoid the overnight
storage of Aim EC spray mixtures. Premixing Aim EC spray
solutions in nurse tanks is not recommended.
Maintain continuous spray solution agitation unit! all the spray
solution has been used.
Do not use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution
below pH 5 or above pM 8. Buffer spray solution to alter the pH
range as appropriate.
Spray Equipment Clean-Out:
Many new pesticides an very active at low rates, especially to
sensitive crops. Rasldues toft In mixing equipment, spray
tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects
if they are not properly cleaned. As soon as possible after
spraying Aim EC and before using the sprayer equipment for
any other applications, the sprayer equipment must be
thoroughly cleaned using th* following procedure. In addition,
users must take appropriate steps to ensure proper equipment
clean-out for any other products mixed with Aim EC as required
on the other product labels. Wore complete cleaning can b*
achieved If the spray system is cleaned immediately following
the application,
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a
high pressure detergent wash to remove physical sediment and
residues from the Inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse.
Then, thoroughly Bush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray
nozzles with a clean water rinse. Remove and ctean spray tips and
all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately in
the ammonia solution of Step 2.
2 Next prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons
of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100 gallons of dean
water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to altow the operation of
the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush
hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles.
3 Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved
if the ammonia solution or fresh water is left in the spray tank.
hoses, spray booms and spray nozzles overnight or during storage.
4 Before using the sprayer, completely dram the sprayer system.
Rinse the tank with ctean water and flush through the hoses, spray
boom, and spray nozzles with clean water. Remove and clean spray
tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip)
separately in an ammonia solution.
-------
5 Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in
accordance with Federal, Slate, and local regulations arxJ
guidelines.
Do not apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops.
Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time
with Aim EC spray solution remaining in the tank, spray lines, spray
boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers.
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and
nozzles with clean water before beginning any application.
Should small quantities of Mm EC remain in inadequately cleaned
mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may be released
during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain
crops and other vegetation. FMC accepts no liability for any effects
due to inadequately cleaned equipment.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
GROUND APPLICATION
Use ground sprayers designed, calibrated and operated to deliver
uniform spray droplets to the targeted plant or plant parts. Overlaps
and slower ground speeds (caused by continuing to spray while
starting, stopping or turning) may result in higher application rates
and possible crop response.

Conventional Boom and) Nozzle Sprayers
Use a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the appropriate
nozzles, spray tips and screens and adjusted to provide optimum
spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating
pressures. Use nozzles that produce minimal amounts of One spray
droplets. Do not exceed 30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise
required by the manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles. Apply a
minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre. Use higher spray
volumes when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy.
Ad;ust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than 18 inches above
the crop. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application of high
herbicide rates directly over the rows and/or into the whorl of treated
crop plants.
Directed Sprayers
Aim EC may be applied with drop nozzles or other spray equipment
capable of directing the spray to the target weeds and away from
sensitive plant parts. Aim EC may be applied up to the maximum
rate for the target crop for the control of larger weed sizes or weeds
not controlled with lower use rates. Use appropriate rates of
adjuvants such as nonionic surfactants, crop Oil concentrates or
methylated seed oils.
Hooded Sprayers
Hooded sprayers may also be used to apply Aim EC. Refer to the
Hooded Sprayer Section on page 5 for specific adjustment and
operation instructions.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum
coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets Apply
at a minimum of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre. Higher aerial
spray volumes are required for harvest aid/defoliation treatments.
Higher spray volumes are required when there is a dense weed
population or crop canopy.
Spray Drift Management
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors
determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower
are responsible for considering an these factors when making
decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to
avoid off-target movement from applications to agricultural field
crops These requirements do not apply to forestry applications,
public health uses or to applications of dry materials.
1. The distance of the outer rnost nozzles on the boom must not
exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air
stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45
degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be
observed.
Information on Droplet Sire
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large
droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest
droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger
droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable
environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Humidity,
and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Spray Dropitt Size
Volume • Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical
spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
droplets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended
pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger
droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate
nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that
provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - For aerial application, orient nozzles so that
the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger
droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice.
Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and
increase drift potential.
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended
application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce
larger droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles Solid stream
nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the
lowest drift
Boom Length - For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective
boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may
further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height - Aerial applications should not be made at a
height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless
a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at
the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to
evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment - Swath adjustment distance should increase.
with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)
Wind - Drift potential is lowest between winds speeds of 3-10 mph.
However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given speed. Application
shouldfshaiij *• be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind
direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can
influence wind patterns. Every applicator should (shall) *" be familiar
with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift,
Temperature and Humidity - When making applications in tow
relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
compensate for evaporation Droplet evaporation is most severe
when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions -Applications should (shall) " not occur
during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes
small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This
cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable
winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are
common on nights wilh limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the
morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, If
fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement
of smoke from a ground source or anaircraft smoke generator.
Smoke that layers and moves laterally In a concentrated cloud
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, wh»e smoke that
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air
mixing.
Sensitive Areas - The pesticide should (shafl) " only be applied
when the wind is blowing away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g.
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or
endangered species, non-target crops).

Directions for Use:
Aim EC may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled
weeds between the rows of the above listed crops. This treatment
may be made to crops grown in rows, and includes crops grown in
rows where mulch or plastic barriers are used as a weed control tool
in the drill or plant line Aim EC may be applied at use rates up to
1.98 fl. ozs. (0.031 pound active ingredient) per broadcast acre per
application in a minimum of 10 gaMons per acre of finished spray.
Aim EC may be tankmixed with other pesticides registered for this

For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across Coverage
Is essential for good control.
Use a quality spray adjuvant such as crop oil concentrate (COC) or
nonionic surfactant (NIS) at the recommended rates.
Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted and operated in such
a manner to totally enclose the spray pattern and to prevent any
spray deposition to green sterns, leaf tissue, flowers or fruit of the
crop. Sprayers should (shall) ** not be operated at more than five (5)
miles per hour in order to minimize vertical movement of the sprayer
during application, Including the bouncing or raising of the
equipment. Use extreme care in applying to fields where the soil
surface is uneven, has deep furrows, drains or other contours that
would disturb the adjustment and positioning of the spray equipment
and/or the spray pattern. Applications must not be made when wind
conditions may disturb the spray patterns and result in spray
deposition to sensitive plants or plant parts.

HARVEST AID TREATMENT
Aim EC may be applied to the soybeans and the grain/forage crops
fbariey. millet, oats, rice, sorghum, triticate, wheat) to defoliate
and/or desiccate troublesome broadteaf weeds such as
momingglories, pigweeds, velvetleaf and others that may be present
at harvest Aim EC may be used alone or as a lank mixture with
other harvest aids.
Applications should (shall) " be made when the crop is mature and
the grain has begun to dry down, or according to Extension Service
recommendations in the use area. Apply Aim EC as a broadcast
spray at rates not to exceed the amount as listed in the MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE AIM 1C USE TABLE page 4. If treatments of Aim EC
have been made to the crop earlier, that volume must be considered
in determining the maximum use rate as a harvest aid treatment.
Applications should (shall) " be made in spray votume sufficient to
provide complete coverage of foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons
of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per
acre for aerial application.
Use a crop oil concentrate (COC) at the rate of 1.0% v/v (1 gallon of
COC per 100 gallons of spray solution) or other suitable adjuvant at
recommended rates.
Oo not apply within 3 days of harvest.
Coverage Is essential for satisfactory performance. Repeat
application If necessary.
If applied as a tank mixture, refer to the other product's label for
restrictions on tank mixing, and observe all label precautions,
instructions and rotational cropping restrictions

mixed with other herbicides registered for use in com. When tank
mixing Aim EC with other products, be sure Aim EC is added to the
spray tank water first and thoroughly mixed. For specific mixing
instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the
GENERAL INFORMATION sections.
Refer to the other product's label for restrictions on tankmixlng, and
observe ell label precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping
restrictions. Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than 18
inches above the crop. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application
of high herbicide rates directly over the rows and/or into the whorl of
the com plant Overlaps and slower ground speeds (caused by
continuing to spray while starting, stopping or turning) may result in
higher application rates and possible crop response.

For Directed Applications
Aim EC may be applied with drop nozzles or other sprayers capable
of directing the spray to the target weeds and away from the whorl of
the com planl Aim EC may be used up to the maximum of 22 fl.
oz. (0.032 pound active) per acre using drop nozzles for control of
larger weed sizes for those weeds listed below under 'Control of
Weeds". Use appropriate rates of adjuvants such as non-ionic
surfactant, crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil.
Seed Corn Production
For seed production fields, apply Aim EC using drop nozzles or
other equipment to make a directed spray treatment. Avoid directing
spray solution into the whorl.
Seed com inbreds have generally shown good tolerance to Aim EC
herbicide, however, all inbreds have not been tested. Broadcast
applications may result m spray being concentrated into the whorl of
the plant that will increase leaf response. To minimize application
-------
into the whorl of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed
sprayers must be used to direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
Sweet Com Production
Aim EC may be applied to sweet com, however, the user assumes
all responsibility for herbicide tolerance with such use All
hybrids/varieties have not been tested for sensitivity to Aim EC
herbicide nor does FMC Corporation have access to all seed
company or food processor date. Broadcast applications may result
in spray being concentrated into the whort of the plant mat will
increase leaf response. To minimize application into the whorl of the
plants, drop nozzles or other type directed sprayers must be used to
direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
Therefore, any crop response arising from the use of Aim EC
herbicide on sweet com is the responsJMity of the user. Use Mm EC
herbicide only under the recommendation of the seed company,
food processor, or Slate Agricultural Extension Service.
COTTON
TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Removal of Failed Cotton Stands
Apply Aim EC at the rate of up to 1.6 ft. ozs. (up to 0.025 pound
active ingredient) per acre broadcast as a foliar spray over the top of
the remaining cotton plants with sufficient spray volume to provide
coverage of the cotton plant, {particularly the terminal area.
Coverage Is essential for good control.
Use a crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of
spray solution).
Do not apply when conditions favoring drift exist or wind is above 10
mph.
Hooded Sprayer Applications
Aim EC may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled
weeds between trie rows of the crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Post-directed and Lay-toy Application
Aim EC is a contact herbicide for postemergence directed sprayer or
hooded/shielded sprayer applications for the control of broadteaf
weeds in cotton. Apply Aim EC alone or as a tank mixture with other
herbicides to emerged and actively growing weeds. Whan
tankmixing Aim EC with other products, be sure Ihe Aim EC is mixed
in the spray tank water first. For specific mixing instructions, refer to
the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the GENERAL
INFORMATION sector,. Applications of Aim EC or Aim EC tank
mixes should (shall)" be made with directed sprayers or hooded
sprayers to prevent contact of spray solution with the cotton plant
Do not allow spray solution to contact cotton foliage or green stem
tissue. Directed spray equipment should (shall) ** position nozzles a
minimum 3 to 4 inches above the soil, with nozzles directed beneath
the crop canopy. Aim EC or Aim EC tank mix applications should
(shall;" be made to cotton that is a minimum of 6 inches in height.
Applications to cotton at 5 to 6 nodes or less must be made with
hooded or shielded sprayer equipment to completely avoid contact
with cotton plants. Lay-by applications of Aim EC or Aim EC tank
mixtures at later growth stages of cotton may be made when cotton
plants have achieved a height of 12 inches or more with sufficient
bark development and height differential between crop bottom
leaves and the soil. Spray solution should (shall)" be directed at
Ihe base of cotton plants for minimal contact with green stem tissue
or foliage while maintaining maximum contact with broad leaf weeds
thai are at appropriate treatment size.
Do not apply when conditions favoring drift exist or wind Is above 10
mph.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage
is essential for good control.
Use a crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of
spray solution).
Use Rates and Weeds Controlled
Apply Aim EC as a post-directed treatment using a directed sprayer

herbicides registered for cotton post-directed and/or lay-by
applications. Refer to the other product's label for restrictions on
tankmixing, and observe all label precautions, instructions and
rotational cropping restrictions.
Harvest Aid Application
Aim EC may be applied as a harvest aid to defoliate and desiccate
cotton and troublesome weeds that may be present at harvest. It
may be used alone or as a tank mixture with other cotton harvest
aids.
Use a quality spray adjuvant, such as nontonic surfactant (MIS) or
crop oil concentrate (COC) at the recommended rates. NIS is the
recommended adjuvant during warmer periods with COC being the
better choice for applications during cooler periods.
Make application when 60 to 70 percent of the bolls are open, or
according to the State Agricultural Extension Service
recommendations in the use area.
Apply Aim EC as a broadcast spray at a rate of up to 1.6 fl. ozs. per
acre (up to 0.02S Ib ai per acre) in spray volume sufficient lo provide
complete coverage of cotton foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons of
finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per acre
for aerial application
Coverage Is essential for defoliation. Repeat application if
necessary to remove remaining foliage or control regrowth. Do not
apply more than 3,2 fl. ozs. (0.05 ib.ai) per acre total as a harvest
aid. Dense cotton canopy, large plant size, and environmental
conditions not conducive to complete plant coverage may reduce
initial application performance and increase the need for a second
application.
Aim EC may be applied as a tank mix or as a sequential application
with other cotton harvest aids. Aim EC may be tankmixed with
Dropp, Def, Finish, Prep, Fotex, Harvade, Ginstar, CottonQufo, or
other registered cotton harvest aid products.

broadcast acre when used atone or in combination with other
herbicides. Apply Aim EC at 1.1 to 2,2 fl. oz. (0.016 to 0.032 pound
active ingredient) per acre for control of susceptible broadleaf
weeds. Use the lower rate for control of small seedling weeds at the
2- to 3-leaf stage; use higher rates for control of larger weeds up to
the 6-leaf stage. Applications to weeds beyond the 6-leaf stage may
result in only partial control.
Aim EC may be tankmixed with other herbicides that have
preemergence or postemergence activity- Any preemergenee
activity must rely on activity from other herbicides as directed on
thiir labels. Contact herbicides may be tank mixed with Aim EC to
obtain a broader spectrum of weeds controlled. If Aim EC is used in
a tank mixture, refer to the other product labels for all restrictions on
tank mixing and observe all label precautions, instructions and
rotational cropping restrictions.
Coverage is essential for good control. Use a spray volume
adequate to get thorough coverage and use a minimum of 10
gallons of finished spray per acre. Apply only with ground
equipment. Applications may be made with boom equipment,
shielded or hooded sprayers, hand-held and high-volume wands or
orchard guns Control is enhanced with the addition of a nonionte

Apply Aim EC as a broadcast spray at a rate of 3.2 to 5.9 ft ozs
(0.05 Ib. to 0.09 Ib active ingredient) per acre in spray volume
sufficient to provide complete coverage of potato foliage Aim EC
may be used alone or as a tank mixture with other potato harvest
aids as a desiccant prior to harvest. Aim EC can be applied Wiarty
to potatoes in the later stages of senescence end will provide
adequate desiccation of potato foliage and vines. Aim EC will also
desiccate late season susceptible broadteaf weeds to aid in tubor
harvest. Adequate desiccation is generally achieved within 14 days
after the initial treatment is applied. If the potato crop is in the active
vegetative growth stage when desiccation is initiated, two
applications may be required to provide desiccation of leaf and stem
tissue Dense potato canopy, large plant size, and environmental
conditions not conducive to product absorption or activity will reduce
initial application efficacy and increase the need for a second
application. If a second application is necessary, apply at 7 to 14
days after me first application. Thorough coverage of the potato
plant to be desiccated is essential. Use a sufficient volume of
water to obtain thorough coverage of the potato leaves and vines
For best results, apply Aim EC when the potato crop Is in the earty
stages of natural senescence.
Ground Application: Apply Aim EC in at least 20 gallons of water
per acre using 80-degree or 110-degree flat-fan nozzles. Select e
spray pressure between 30 to 60 pounds per square inch (psl)
measured at the nozzle to obtain a droplet size of approximately 300
microns Vary the spray volume and spray pressure as indicated by
the density of the potato canopy and vines to assure thorough spray
coverage. Increase the spray volume and pressure if the potato
canopy is dense or under cool, cloudy or dry conditions. Increased
spray volumes will enhance performance. If Turbo TeeJet® nozzles
are used, a spray pressure of 60 psi or more will be required to get
thorough coverage. Do not apply when winds are gusty or prone to
cause herbicide drift from desired target.
Aertal Application: Apply Aim EC with aerial equipment 5 to 10
gallons of water per acre, using higher volumes when potato
canopies and vines are dense. Apply at a height of 10 feet or less
above the potato canopy and use tow drift nozzles. Adjust the
nozzles to provide a uniform pattern and a droplet size of 350 to 450
microns. Do not apply aerially when atmospheric conditions are
conducive to spray drift and do not apply when wind could drfft to
surrounding vegetation.
Adjuvant: Awn EC must be applied with either a methylated seed
oil adjuvant at a minimum of 1 quart per acre or 1 % volume to
volume when applied to volumes > 20 gallons per acre. A silicone
based adjuvant at recommended label rates.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Aim EW is a ernulsifiable concentrate formulation. Aim EW is to be
mixed with water and applied to labeled crops for selective
postemergence control of broadleaf weeds. Weed control is best
when the product is applied to actively growing weeds up lo 4 inches
in height. Aim EW is a contact herbicide.
Aim EW is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid
significant crop response, applications should not be made within 6 -
8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present on
the crop Within a few hours following application, the foliage of
susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent
days necrosis and death of the plant occur. Due to environmental
conditions and with certain spray lank additives, some herbicidal
symptoms may appear on the crop. However, the crop recovers
quickly with no loss in yield
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature,
moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect the
activity of Aim EW. Under warm moist conditions, herbkade
symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the
expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed, and weeds hardened
off by drought are less susceptible to Aim EW.
Tank Mixtures
Aim EW may be tankmixed with other herbicides to control weeds
not listed on this label Read and follow all manufacturers' label
recommendations for me companion herbicide except for specific
recommendations on this label. Tank mixtures Of Aim EW with EC
formulations of other crop protection products, crop oil concentrate.
methylated s»ed oil, silieone based adjuvants, 28% nitrogen or
ammonium sulfate may increase crop response.
Adjuvant Use Requirements
Use a non-ionic surfactant (NISJ having at least 80% active
ingredient at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution) or
a 28% nitrogen (UAN) at 2 to 4 quarts per 100 gallons of spray
solution. Ammonium sulfate (AMS) may be used at 2-4 pounds per
acre where recommended by those companion herbicides listed on
this label. In the latter case, the level of leaf speckling may be higher
than with MIS akme Crop oil (COC) or crop oil plus either 28%
nitrogen or ammonium sulfate may be used with companion
herbicides listed on this label and may be recommended in certain
situations.
Mixing and Loading Instructions:
Fill the spray tank 3/4 fuH with clean water. Make sure the agitation
system is operating while adding products. Complete filling the
spray tank to the desired level. The spray tank agitation should be
sufficient to ensure uniform spray mixture during application and
until the spray tank has been emptied. When tankmixing with other
products Aim EW should be mixed first in the spray tank. After the
Aim EW is thoroughly mixed, add the other products as spooned on
their label. Ensure the compatibility of other products with Aim EW
bffore mixing them together in tie spray tank. Avoid the overnight
storage of Aim EW spray mixtures. PremWng Aim EW spray
solutions in nurse tanks is not recommended.
Maintain continuous spray solution agitation until all the spray
solution has been used.
Do not use with tank additives that alter the pH of the spray solution
below pH 5 or above pH 8. Buffer spray solution lo alter the pH
range as appropriate.
Spray Equipment Clean-Out:
Many new pesticides am very active at low rates, especially to
sensitive crops. Residues left In mixing equipment, spray
tanks, hoses, spray booms and nozzles can cause crop effects
if they are not properly cleaned. As soon »s possible after
spraying Aim EW and before using the sprayer equipment for
any other applications, the sprayer equipment must be
thc-rouBhIy cleaned using the following procedure. In addition,
users must take appropriate stops to ensure proper equipment
clean-out for any other products mixed with Aim EW as
required on the other product labels. More complete cleaning
can be achieved If the spray system is cleaned Immediately
following the application.
1. Drain sprayer tank, hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles. Use a
high pressure detergent wash to remove physical sediment and
residues from the Inside of the sprayer tank and thoroughly rinse.
Then, thoroughly flush sprayer hoses, spray boom and spray
nozzles with a dean water rinse. Remove and clean spray tips and
all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tips) separately In
the ammonia solution of Step 2.
2 Next, prepare a sprayer cleaning solution by adding three gallons
of ammonia (containing at least 3% active) per 100 gallons of dean
water. Prepare sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of
the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush
hoses, spray boom and spray nozzles,
3 Convenient and thorough cleaning of the sprayer can be achieved
if the ammonia solution or fresh water is toft in the spray tank.
hoses, spray booms and spray nozztes overnight or during storage.
4 Before using the sprayer, completely drain the sprayer system.
Rinse the tank with dean water and flush through the hoses, spray
boom, and spray nozztes with clean water. Remove and clean spray
tips and all filters and screens (tank, spray hose and spray tip)
separately in an ammonia solution,
5. Property dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate in
accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and
guidelines.
-------
Do not apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops
Do not store the sprayer overnight or for any extended period of time
with Aim EW spray solution remaining in the tank, spray lines, spray
boom plumbing, spray nozzles or strainers.
If the sprayer has been stored or idle, purge the spray boom and
nozzles with clean water before beginning any application
Should small quantities of Aim EW remain in inadequately cleaned
cruxing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may be released
Ounng subsequent applications potentially causing effects to certain
crops and other vegetation. FMC accepts no liability for any effects
due to inadequately cleaned equipment.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
GROUND APPLICATION
Use ground sprayers designed, calibrated and operated to deliver
uniform spray droplets to the targeted plant or plant parts Overlaps
and slower ground speeds (caused by continuing to spray while
starting, stopping or turning) may result in higher application rates
and possible crop response.

Conventional Boom and Nozzle Sprayers
Use a boom and nozzle sprayer equipped with the appropnate
nozzles, spray tips and screens and adjusted to provide optimum
spray distribution and coverage at the appropriate operating
pressures Use nozzles that produce minimal amounts of fine spray
droplets. Do not exceed 30 psi spray pressure unless otherwise
required by the manufacturer of drift reducing nozzles Apply a
minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray per acre. Use higher spray
volumes when there is a dense weed population or crop canopy.
Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no lower than 18 inches above
the crop. Operate the sprayer to avoid trie application of high
herbicide rates directly over the rows andtor into the whorl of treated
crop plants.
Directed Sprayers
Aim EW may be applied with drop nozzles or other spray equipment
capable of directing the spray to the target weeds and awey from
sensitive plant parts Aim EW may be applied up to the maximum
rate for the target crop for the control of larger weed Sizes or weeds
not controlled with tower use rates. Use appropriate rates of
adjuvants such as nonionic surfactants, crop oil concentrates of
methylated seed oils.
Hooded Sprayers ,,
Hooded sprayers may also be used to apply Aim EW. Refer to the
Hooded Sprayer Section on page 5 for specific adjustment and
operation instructions.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum
coverage while producing a minimal amount of fine droplets. Apply
at a minimum of 3 gallons of finished spray per acre. Higher aenal
spray volumes are required for harvest aid/defoliation treatments.
Higher spray volumes are required when there is a dense weed
population or crop canopy
Spray Drift Management
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER.
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors
determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower
are responsible for considering all these factors when making
decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to
avoid off-target movement from applications to agricultural Reid
crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications,
public health uses or to applications of dry materials
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not
exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2 Nozzles must always point backward paraltet wilh the air
stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45
degrees
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be
observed.
Information on DroptetStee
The most effective way to reduce drift potential»to apply large
droptets The best dim management strategy is to apply the largest
droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger
droplets reduces drift potential, but wilt not prevent drift if
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable
environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and Hurmdrty,
and Temperature Inversions).
Controlling Spray Drop lot Size
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical
spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger
droptets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended
pressures For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger
droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate
nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number ol nozzles that
provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - For aerial application, orient nozzles so that
the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger
droplets than other orientations and Is the recommended practice.
Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and
increase drift potential
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended
application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce
larger droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles. Solid stream
nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droptets and the
lowest drift.
Boom Length - For some aerial use patterns, reducing the effective
boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may
further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application Height- Aerial applications should not be made at a
height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless
a greater height ts required for aircraft safety. Making applications at
the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to
evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment - Swalh adjustment distance should increase,
with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, eta.)
Wind • Drift potential is lowest between winds speeds of 3-10 mph.
However many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
determine drift potential at any given spead. Application should
(shall)" be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and
high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind
patterns. Every applicator should (shall)" be familiar with local wind
patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity - When making applications in tow
relative humidity, sat up equipment to produce larger droplets to
compensate for evaporation. Droptet evaporation is most severe
when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions - Applications should (shall)" not occur
during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes
small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated doud. Thte
ctoud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light vanaole
winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are
common on nights wtth limked doud cover and light to no wind.
They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the
morning Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if
fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement
of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator.
Smoke that layers and moves lateraBy in a concentrated doud
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, white smoke mai
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air
mixing.
Sensitive Areas - The pesticide should (shall)" only be applied
when the wind is blowing away from adja«n<.se"s*v? 8r!^i9n.

CROP ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS
Following an application of Aim iW, a treated field may only be
routed to a registered crop (a registered crop may be planted
at any time). All oth«r crops may b« planted after 12 months.
-------
FALLOW SYSTEMS
Apply Aim EW by ground or aenaliy alone or with other herbicides in
the fallow period prior to planting or the emergence of any crop or
rotational crop listed on this label to control or suppress annual
broadteaf weeds. For best performance, make applications to
actively growing weeds up to 4 inches high or rosettes less than 3
inches across Coverage is essential for good weed control
Apply Aim EW at up to 1.98 fl. ozs, (up to 0.031 pound active
ingredient) per acre in fallow systems. A nonionic surfactant or crop
oil concentrate must be used to enhance activity of Aim EW in fallow
systems. Use a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% w/v (2 pints per 100
gallons of spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient or a
petroleum or vegetable seed basso crop oil concentrate at 1.5 to 2.0
pints per acre
Optimum broad-spectrum control of annual and perennial weeds
requires a tank mix of a broad-spectrum burndown herbcide such
as RoundUp. or other glyphosate products. Touchdown® or
Gramoxone® Extra When tankmixing Aim EW with other products,
be sure the Aim EW is mixed in the spray tank water first. For
specific mixing instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading
Instructions under the GENERAL INFORMATION section

Directions for Use:
Aim EW may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled
weeds between the rows of the above listed crops. This treatment
may be made to crops grown in rows, and includes crops grown in
rows where mulch or plastic barriers are used as a weed control tool
in the drill or plant line. Aim EW may be applied at use rates up to
1.98 n. ozs. (0 031 pound active ingredient) per broadcast acre per
application in a minimum of 10 gallons per acre of finished spray.
Aim EW may be tankmixed wHh other pesticides registered for this
treatment pattern.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage
is essential for good control.
Use a quality spray adjuvant such as crop oil concentrate (COG) or
nonionic surfactant (NIS) at the recommended rates.
Hooded sprayers must be designed, adjusted and operated in such
a manner to totally enclose the spray pattern and to prevent any
spray deposition to green stems, leaf tissue, flowers or fruit of the
crop. Sprayers should (Shalt)" not be operated at more than five (5)
miles per hour in order to minimize vertical movement of the sprayer
during application, including the bouncing or raising of the
equipment. Use extreme care in applying to fields where the soil
surface is uneven, has deep furrows, drains or other contours that
would disturb the adjustment and positioning of the spray equipment
and/or the spray pattern. Applications must not be made when wind
conditions may disturb the spray patterns and resist in spray
deposition to sensitive plants or plant parts.

HARVEST AID TREATMENT
Aim EW may be applied to (he soybeans and the grain/forage crops
(bartey. millet, oats, rice, sorghum, triticate, wheat) to defoliate
and/or desiccate troublesome broadteaf weeds such as
mominggtories, pigweeds, velvetleaf and others that may be present
at harvest. Aim EW may be used alone or as 8 tar* mixture with
other harvest aids.
Applications should (shall)" be made when the crop is mature and
the grain has begun to dry down, or according to Extension Service
recommendations in the use area. Apply Aim EW as a broadcast
spray at rates not to exceed the amount as listed in the MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE AIM EW USE TABLE page 4. If treatments of Aim
EW have been made to the crop earlier, that volume must be
considered in determining the maximum use rate as a harvest aid
treatment.
Applications should (shall)" be made in spray volume sufficient to
provide complete coverage of foliage. Use a minimum of 10 gallons
of finished spray per acre for ground application and 5 gallons per
acre for aerial application.
Use a crop oil concentrate (COC) at the rate of 1 0% v/v (1 gallon of
COC per 100 gallons of spray solution) or other suitable adjuvant at
recommended rates,
Do not apply within 3 days of harvest
Coverage Is essertUa! for satisfactory performance. Repeat
application if necessary.
If applied as a tank mixture, refer to the other product's label for
restrictions on tank mixing, and observe all label precautions,
instructions and rotational cropping restrictions.
CORN
Field Corn, Seed Com, Popcorn, Corn
Silage, and Sweet Corn (Processing and
Fresh Market)
Apply Aim EW alone or as a tank mixture with other herbicides to
emerged and actively growing weeds. Apply to com in all tillage
systems from 30 days before planting up to 14 leaf collar growth
stage. Do not apply when conditions favoring drift or when wind is
above 1C mph
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches high and rosettes less than 3 inches across.
Coverage Is essential for good control.
Use a nontonic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of
spray solution) having at least 80% active ingredient. Under dry
conditions the use of a crop oil concentrate may improve weed
control. The use of a crop oil concentrate may increase leaf
speckling on the treated com leaves.
To control weeds not listed on this label, Aim EW may be tank
mixed with other herbicides registered for use in com When tank
mixing Aim EW with other products, be sure Aim EW is added ID the
spray tank water first and thoroughly mixed. For specific mixing
instructions, refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the
GENERAL INFORMATION sections.
Refer to the other product's label for restrictions on lankmixing, and
observe all label precautions, instructions, and rotational cropping
restrictions. Adjust sprayers to position spray tips no tower than 18
inches above me crop. Operate the sprayer to avoid the application
of high herbicide rates directly over the rows and/or Wo the whort of
the corn plant. Overlaps and slower ground speeds (caused by
continuing to spray white starting, stopping or turning) may result in
higher application rates and possible crop response,

For Directed Applications Kl
Aim EW may be applied with drop nozzles or other sprayers capable
of directing the spray to the target weeds and away from the whort of
the com plant. Aim EW may be used up to the maximum of 2.2 fl.
oz (0 032 pound active) per acre using drop nozzles for control of
larger weed sizes for those weeds listed below under Control or
Weeds" Use appropriate rates of adjuvants such as non-ionic
surfactant crop oil concentrate or methylated seed oil.
Seed Corn Production
For seed production fields, apply Aim EW using drop nozzles or
other equipment to make a directed spray treatment. Avoid directing
spray solution into the whort.
Seed com inbreds have generally shown good tolerance to Aim EW
herbicide however, all inbreds have not been tested. Broadcast
applications may result in spray being concentrated into the whorl or
the plant that will increase leaf response. To minimize application
into the whort of the plants, drop nozzles or other type directed
sprayers must be used to direct the spray to the targeted weeds.
Sweet Com Production
Aim EW may be applied to sweet com. however, the user assumes
all responsibility for herbicide tolerance with such use. All
hybrids/varieties have not been tested for sensitivity to Aim EW
herbicide nor does FMC Corporation have access to all seed
company or food processor data. Broadcast applications may result
in spray being concentrated into the whort of the ptentthai w*
increase leaf response. To minimize application into the whori of the
plants, drop nozzles or other type directed sprayers must be used to
direct me spray to the targeted weeds.
Therefore, any crop response arising from the use of Aim EW
herbiode on sweet com is the responsibility of the^rJJse Aim
EW herbicide only under the recommendation of the seed company,
food processor, or State Agricultural Extension Service.

weeds in cotton. Apply Aim EW alone or as a tank mixture with other
herbicides to emerged and actively growing weeds. When
lankmixing Aim EW with other products, be sure the Aim EW is
mixed in the spray tank water first. For specific mixing instructions,
refer to the Mixing and Loading Instructions under the GENERAL
INFORMATION section. Applications of Aim EW or Aim EW tank
mixes should (shall)" be made with directed sprayers or hooded
sprayers to prevent contact of spray solution with the cotton plant
Do not allow spray solution to contact cotton foliage or green stem
tissue. Directed spray equipment should (shall)" position nozzles a
minimum 3 to 4 inches above the soil, wfth nozzles directed beneath
the crop canopy. Aim EW or Aim EW tank mix applications should
(shal!)" be made to cotton that is a minimum of 6 inches in height,
Applications to cotton at S to 6 nodes or less must be made with
hooded or shielded sprayer equipment to completely avoid contact
with cotton plants. Lay-by applications of Aim EW or Aim EW tar*
mixtures at later growth stages of cotton may be made when cotton
plants have achieved a height of 12 inches or more with sufficient
bark development and height differential between crop bottom
leaves and the soil. Spray solution should (shall)" be directed at the
base of cotton plants for minimal contact with green stem tissue or
foliage while maintaining maximum contact with broadieaf weeds
that are at appropriate treatment size,
Do not apply when conditions favoring drift exist or wind is above 10
mph.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage
is essential for good control
Use a crop oil concentrate at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons of

for aerial application.
Coverage Is essential for defoliation. Repeat application if
necessary to remove remaining foliage or control regrowth. Do not
apply more than 3.2 fl. ozs. (0.05 Ib.ai) per acre total as a harvest
aid. Dense cotton canopy, targe plant size, and environmental
conditions not conducive to complete plant coverage may reduce
initial application performance and increase the need for a second
application.
Aim EW may be applied as a tank mix or as a sequential application
with other cotton harvest aids. Aim EW may be tankmixed with
Dropp, Def, Finish, Prep, Folex, Harvade, Ginstar. CottonQurk, or

TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Weed Control
Apply Aim EW for postemergence weed control of certain
susceptible broadleaf weeds when used alone or in combination
with other herbicides. Apply Aim EW alone or as a tank mixture with
other herbicides to emerged and actively growing weeds. Apply Ann
EW up to 1.98 fl. ozs. (up to 0.031 pound active ingredient) per acre.
Aim EW alone or tank mixtures may be used for general weed
control, in middles (Between rows of trees), and in strips (in row of
trees). Aim EW may be applied at any time during the season. Aim
EW may be mixed with other heitiekles that have preemergence or
postemergence activity. Any preemergence activity must rely on
activity from other herbicides as directed on their labels. Contact
herbicides such as glyphosate (Roundup Ultra®, Touchdown®) and
paraquat (Gramoxone®) may be tankmixed with Aim EW for broader
spa claim weed control.
Sucker Management
Undesirable sucker growth from the base of the trunks or root
sprouts may be managed with Aim EW. Apply Aim EW at 1.98 fl
ozs. (0.031 pound active ingredient) per acre. Suckers and other
undesirable growth must be treated when the tissue is young and
not mature and hardened off. Care must be taken not to allow spray
mist to contact desirable fruit or foliage or green bark (see
Precautions).
Hooded Sprayer Applications
Aim EW may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled
weeds between the rows of the crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions
Equipment and Application
Coverage is essential for good control. Use a spray volume
adequate to get thorough coverage, but use a minimum of 10
gallons of finished spray per acre. Apply only with ground
equipment Applications may be made with boom equipment,
hooded sprayers, shielded sprayers, hand-held and high volume
wands or orchard guns Always add Aim EW to the spray tank
first. See "Mixing and Loading Instructions" under GENERAL
INFORMATION.
Control is enhanced with the addition of a noniontc surfactant (NIS)
or crop oil concentrate (COC). Use a nontonic surfactant (NIS) at
0.25% v/v (2 pints NIS per 100 gaSons) or a crop oil concentrate at
1% v/v (one gallon COC per 100 gallons).
Precautions
Extreme caution must be used during applications when
desirable fmlt or foliage we present in order to avoid fruit
spotting and/or leaf necrosis. Do not allow spray mist of Aim EW
to come in contact with desirable fruit or foliage. On seedling or

TIMING AND METHOD OF APPLICATION
Pre-transplant burndown
Aim EW is a contact herbicide for pre-transplant bumdown contfol of
broad leaf weeds in tobacco. Apply Aim EW as a broadcast
application alone or as a tank mixture with other herbicides to
emerged and actively growing weeds. Aim EW may be applied up to
one (1) day prior to transplanting
Shielded spray or Hoodad spray
Aim EW may be applied using shielded sprayers or hooded sprayers
to emerged and actively growing broadleaf weeds in tobacco from
transplanting until layby. Shielded spray or hooded spray
applications of Aim EW or Aim EW tank mixes should utilize
application equipment that will prevent contact of spray solution with
the tobacco plant. Do not allow spray solution to contact tobacco
foliage or green stem tissue. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Directed spray after first priming - Flue Cured tobacco only
Aim EW may be applied as a directed spray application after the first
priming in flue cured tobacco only for the control of emerged and
actively growing broadleaf weeds. Directed spray equipment should
position nozzles a minimum 3 to 4 inches above the soil, with
nozzles directed underneath the crop canopy. Spray solution should
be directed at the base of tobacco plants for minimal contact with
foliage while maintaining maximum contact with broadleaf weeds
that are at appropriate treatment size. Do not apply when conditions
favor drift or wind is above 10 mph.
For best performance, make application to actively growing weeds
up to 4 inches tall and rosettes less than 3 inches across. Coverage
is essential for good control. Use a crop oil concentrate (COC) at
1% v/v (1 gallon COC per 100 gallons of spray solution).

POTATO
TIMING AND METHOD OF APPUCATION
Aim EW may be used alone or in a tank mix combination with other
herbicides and insecticides as a fallow systems treatment, as a
preplan! bumdown treatment and/or as a harvest aid to desiccate
potatoes and those susceptible weeds that may be present.
Fallow Systems
See the Fallow Systems section for directions for application
Praplant Burndown
See the Preplant Burndown section for directions for application.
Hooded Sprayer Application*
Aim EW may be applied with hooded sprayers to control labeled
weeds between the rows of the crop. Refer to the Hooded Sprayer
Applications section of this label for additional specific use
directions.
Harvest Aid Desiccation Application (For potatoes only)
Apply Aim EW as a broadcast spray at a rate of 3,2 to 5.9 fl. ozs.
(0.05 Ib. to 0.09 Ib active ingredient) per acre in spray volume
sufficient to provide complete coverage of potato foliage. Aim EW
may be used alone or as a tank mixture with other potato harvest
aids as a desiceant prior to harvest. Aim EW can be applied foliarty
to potatoes in the later stages of senescence and will provide
adequate desiccation of potato foliage and vines. Aim EW wit! also
desiccate late season susceptible broadteaf weeds to aid in tuber
harvest. Adequate desiccation is generally achieved within 14 days
after the initial treatment is applied. If the potato crop is in the active
vegetative growth stage when desiccation is initiated, two
applications may be required to provide desiccation of leaf and stem
tissue. Dense potato canopy, large plant size, and environmental
conditions not conducive to product absorption or activity will reduce
initial application efficacy and increase the need for a second
application If a second application is necessary, apply at 7 to 14
days after the first application. Thorough coverage of the potato
plant to be desiccated Is essential. Use a sufficient volume of
water to obtain thorough coverage of the potato leaves and vines.
For best results, apply Aim EW when the potato crop is in the early
stages of natural senescence.
Ground Application: Apply Aim EW In at least 20 gallons of water
per acre using 80-degree or 110-degree flat-fan nozzles. Select a
spray pressure between 30 to 60 pounds per square inch (psi)
measured at the nozzle to obtain a droplet size of approximately 300
microns. Vary the spray volume and spray pressure as indicated by
the density of the potato campy and vines to assure thorough spray
coverage. Increase the spray volume and pressure if the potato
canopy Is dense or under cool, cloudy or dry conditions. Increased
spray volumes will enhance performance. If Turbo TeeJet® nozzles
are used, a spray pressure of 60 psi or more will be required to get
thorough coverage. Do nol apply when winds are gusty or prone to
causa herbicide drift from desired target.
Aerial Application: Apply Aim EW with aerial equipment 5 to 10
gallons of water per acre, using higher volumes when potato
canopies and vines are dense, Apply at a height of 10 feet or less
above the potato canopy and use low drift nozzles. Adjust the
nozzles to provide a uniform pattern and a droplet size of 350 to 450
microns. Do not apply aerially when atmospheric conditions are
conducive to spray drift and do not apply when wind could drift to
surrounding vegetation.
Adjuvant: Aim EW must be applied with either a methylated seed
oil adjuvant at a minimum of 1 quart per acre or 1 % volume to
volume when applied to volumes > 20 gallons per acre. A silicone
based adjuvant at recommended label rates.
Tar* mixes: Aim EW may be applied as a tank mix or as a
sequential application with other potato desiccants. Refer to trie
other product's label for restrictions on tankmixing, and observe all
label precautions, instructions and rotational cropping restrictions.
Restrictions
1. Do not apply more than 0.018 Ib ai of Aim EW per acre
per crop season as a desiceant.
2. Do not apply when conditions favoring drift exist or wind is
above 10 mph.
3. Do not apply within 7 days of harvest.
GRASS
(Forage, Fodder, Hay, Seed)
Aim EW may be applied alone or in combination with other

GENERAL INFORMATION
Aim EC is an ernulsifiable concentrate formulation. Aim EC is to be
mixed with water, liquid fertilizer or mixtures of water and liquid
fertilizer and adjuvants and applied to labeled crops for selective
postemergence control of broadleaf weeds, for sucker control, for
bumdown prior to planting, as a harvest aid and to
defoliate/desiccate labeled crops.
Weed control is optimized when the product is applied to actively
growing weeds up to 4 inches in height. Aim EC is a contact
herbicide. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of
susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent
days necrosis and death of the plant occur.
Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature.
moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may effect the
activity of Aim EC. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide
symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the
expression of herbicide symptoms may be reduced as weeds
hardened off by drought are less susceptible to Aim EC.
Aim EC is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. To avoid
significant crop response, applications should not be made within 6
to 8 hours of either rain or irrigation or when heavy dew is present
on the crop. Due to environmental conditions and with certain spray
tank additives, some herbicidal symptoms may appear on the crop.
Tank Mixtures
Aim EC may be tank-mixed with other herbicides to control weeds
not listed on this label. Read and follow all manufacturers' label
directions for the companion herbicide except for specific use
directions on this label. Tank mixtures of Aim EC with EC
formulations of other crop protection products, crop oil concentrates,
methylated seed oils, silicone based adjuvants, 28% nitrogen or
ammonium sulfate may increase crop response.
Adjuvant Use Requirements
The use of a quality spray adjuvant is required for optimum
performance. Refer to the individual crop recommendation sections
of this label for specific adjuvant type and use rates.
On-Farm Testing
Not all varieties or cultivars of labeled crops have been fully
evaluated under all environmental and soil conditions. For
additional and specific information, consult University or local
Extension specialists. It may also be beneficial to conduct small on-
farm trials under actual conditions with specific varieties or cultivars
before treating large acreage.
Methods of Application
Aim EC is a versatile herbicide utilizing several different application
methods to achieve the desired results. If Aim is being applied in
standing crop situations, application methods and adjustments must
be precise to prevent undesirable effects to the desirable green
stem tissue, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crops being treated.
Aerial applications are allowed in some situations. Aerial
treatments must be made with a minimum of 3 gallons of total spray
per acre with a minimum VMD of 450 microns.
Over-trie-top applications may be utilized in some situations as
noted in the individual crop directions. Spray volumes for ground
applications should be 10 gallons of finished spray per acre to insure
good target coverage. Spray tips must be positioned no less than
18 inches above the crop and operated in such manner as to avoid
overlaps and slower than calibrated ground speeds.
Post directed applications may be utilized when labeled crops have
reached minimum growth stages where sprays may be directed to
the target weeds, but is not deposited on the green stem, foliage,
blooms or fruit of the crop.
Hooded Sprayer applications are allowed on many labeled crops.
Hooded sprayers must be designed and operated so as to totally
enclose the spray nozzles and tips and spray pattern and prevent
any spray deposition to the crop being treated.
Shielded Sprayer applications may be utilized in some situations.
Sprayers should be designed and operated so that the shield
between the spray pattern and the crop will prevent the deposition of
spray to green stem plant tissue, foliage, blooms or fruit of the crop.
Mixing and Loading Instructions
Fill the spray tank 3/4 full with clean water. Make sure the agitation
system is operating while adding products. Complete filling the
spray tank to the desired level. The spray tank agitation should be
sufficient to ensure uniform spray mixture during application and
must continue until the spray tank has been emptied. When
tankmixing with other products, Aim EC should be mixed first in the
spray tank. After the Aim EC is thoroughly mixed, add the other

the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132, entitled
Pedemlism($4 FR 43255, August 10,
1999), Executive Order 13132 requires
EPA to develop an accountable process
to ensure "meaningful and timely input
by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that
have federalism implications." "Policies
that have federalism implications" is
defined in the Executive Order to
include regulations that have
"substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government." This final rule
directly regulates growers, food
processors, food handlers and food
retailers, not States. This action does not
alter the relationships or distribution of
power and responsibilities established
by Congress in the preemption
provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4).
For these same reasons, the Agency
has determined that this rule does not
have any "tribal implications" as
described in Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Trilxjl Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000). Executive
Order 13175, requires EPA to develop
an accountable process to ensure
"meaningful and timely input by tribal
officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have tribal
implications." "Policies that have tribal
implications" is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations
that have "substantial direct effects on
one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal
government and the Indian tribes, or on
the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes." This
rule will not have substantial direct
effects on tribal governments, on the
relationship between the Federal
government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes, as
specified in Executive Order 13175.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this rule."
VIII. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States, 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 this final
rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a "major rule" as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).

II. Background and Statutory Findings
In the Federal Register of March 19,
2001 (66 FR 15459) (FRL-6766-8), EPA
issued a notice pursuant to section 408
of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a as amended
by the FQPA (Public Law 104-170)
announcing the filing of a pesticide
petition (PP OE6183) for tolerance by IR-
4, 681 US Highway #1 South, North
Brunswick, NJ 08902-3390. This notice
included a summary of the petition
prepared by FMC Corporation, the
registrant. There were no comments
received in response to the notice of
filing.
The petition requested that 40 CFR
180.515 be amended by establishing a
tolerance for combined residues of the
herbicide carfentrazone-ethyl, (ethyl-
alpha,-2-dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-
4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-lH-l,2,4-
triazol-l-yIJ-4-
fluorobenzenepropanoate), in or on the
caneberry subgroup at 0.10 part per
million Eppm),
In the Federal Register of April 12,
2001 (66 FR 18931) (FRL-6776-9), EPA
issued a notice pursuant to section
408(d) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a(d) as
amended by the FQPA (Publilc Law
104-170) announcing the filing of a
pesticide petition (PP 7F4795) for
tolerance by FMC Corporation,
Agricultural Products Group, 1735
Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
This notice included a summary of the
petition prepared by FMC Corporation,
the registrant. There were no comments
received in response to the notice of
filing.
The petition requested that 40 CFR
part 180 be amended by establishing a
tolerance for residues of carfentrazone-
ethyl (ethyl-alpha,-2-dichloro-5[-4-
(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-
5-oxo-lH-1,2.4-triazol-l-yl]-4-
fluorobenzene-propanoate) and the
metabolite carfentrazone-ethyl
chloropropionic acid (,2-dichloro-5[-4-
(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-
5-oxo-l H-l ,2,4-triazol-l-yl)-4-
fluorobenzenepropanoic acid) in or on
the raw agricultural commodity (RAC)
cotton at 3.5 parts per million (ppm).
Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of the 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 408(b)(2)(A)(ii) 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
408(b)(2)(C) 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 section 408 and a
complete description of the risk
assessment process, see the final rule on
Bifenthrin Pesticide Tolerances (62 FR
62961, November 26, 1997) (FRL-5754-
7).
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and
Determination of Safety
Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D),
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, consistent with
section 408(b)(2), for a tolerance for
combined residues of carfentrazone-
ethyl on the caneberry subgroup at 0.1
ppm and cotton, undelinted seed (0.20
ppm); cotton, gin byproducts (10 ppm);
cottonseed, hulls (0.60 ppm); cottonseed
meal (0.35 ppm); and cottonseed,
refined oil (1.0 ppm). EPA's assessment
of exposures and risks associated with
establishing the tolerance follows.
A. Toxicological Profile
EPA has evaluated the available
toxicity data and considered its validity,
completeness, and reliability as xvell as
the relationship of the results of the
studies to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information
concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable
subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children. The nature of the
toxic effects caused by carfentrazone-
ethyl are discussed in the Unit 1II.A. of
the Final Rule on Carfentrazone-ethyl
published in the Federal Register of
August 9, 2000 (65 FR 48620) (FRL-
6597-7).
B. Toxicological Endpoints
The dose at which no adverse effects
are observed (the NOAEL) from the
toxicology study identified as
appropriate for use in risk assessment is
used to estimate the toxicological level
of concern (LOC). However, the lowest
dose at which adverse effects of concern
are identified (the LOAEL) is sometimes
used for risk assessment if no NOAEL
was achieved in the toxicology study
selected. An uncertainty factor (UF) is
applied to reflect uncertainties inherent
in the extrapolation from laboratory
animal data to humans and in the
variations in sensitivity among members
of the human population as well as
other unknowns. An UF of 100 is
routinely used, 10X to account for
interspecies differences and 10X for
intraspecies differences.
For dietary risk assessment (other
than cancer) the Agency uses the UF to
calculate an acute or chronic reference
dose (acute RfD or chronic RfD) where
-------
Federal Register/Vol. 66, No, 148/Wednesday, August 1, 2001/Rules and Regulations 39677
the RfD is equal to the NOAEL divided
by the appropriate UF (RfD = NOAEL/
UF). Where an additional safety factor is
retained due to concerns unique to the
FQPA, this additional factor is applied
to the RfD by dividing the RfD by such
additional factor. The acute or chronic
Population Adjusted Dose (aPAD or
cPAD) is a modification of the RfD to
accommodate this type of FQPA Safety
Factor.
For nun-dietary risk assessments
[other than cancer) the UF is used to
determine the LOG. For example, when
100 is the appropriate UF (10X to
account for interspecies differences and
10X for intraspecies differences) the
LOG is 100. To estimate risk, a ratio of
the NOAEL to exposures (margin of
exposure (MOE) = iNOAEL/exposure) is
calculated and compared to the LOG.
The linear default risk methodology
(Q*) is the primary method currently
used by the Agency to quantify
carcinogenic risk. The Q* approach
assumes that any amount of exposure
will lead to some degree of cancer risk.
A Q* is calculated and used to estimate
risk which represents a probability of
occurrence of additional cancer cases
(e.g., risk is expressed as 1 x 10 A or one
in a million). Under certain specific
circumstances, MOE calculations will
be used for the carcinogenic risk
assessment. In this non-linear approach,
a "point of departure" is identified
below which carcinogenic effects are
not expected. The point of departure is
typically a NOAEL based on an
endpoint related to cancer effects
though it may be a different value
derived from the dose response curve.
To estimate risk, a ratio of the point of
departure to exposure (MOEcanCoi= point
of departure/exposures) is calculated. A
summary of the toxicological endpoints
for carfentrazone-ethyl used for human
risk assessment is shown in the
following Table 1:

C. Exposure Assessment
I. Dietary exposure from food and
feed uses. Tolerances have been
established (40 CFR 180.515) for the
combined residues of carfentrazone-
ethyl, in or on corn (field corn, sweet
corn, and popcorn), wheat, barley, oats,
grain sorghum, rice, and soybeans and
carfentrazone-chloropropionic acid (40
CFR 180.515) ranging from 0.1 ppm
(cereal grain) to 1.0 (rice straw).
Preplant and post-emergence
applications with ground and/or aerial
equipment are permitted with rates
ranging from 0.015 Ibs ai/acre (grain
sorghum) to 0.15 Ibs ai/acre (rice). Risk
assessments were conducted by EPA to
assess dietary exposures from
carfentrazone-ethyl in food as follows:
i. Acute exposure. Acute dietary risk
assessments are performed for a food-
use pesticide if a toxicological study has
indicated the possibility of an effect of
concern occurring as a result of a one
day or single exposure. The Dietary
Exposure Evaluation Model (DEEM™)
analysis evaluated the individual food
consumption as reported by
respondents in the USDA 1989-1992-
nationwide Continuing Surveys of Food
Intake by Individuals (CSF1I) and
accumulated exposure to the chemical
for each commodity. The following
assumptions were made for the acute
exposure assessments: An acute analysis
was performed for each population
subgroup using tolerance level residues,
100% crop treated, and DEEM™ default
processing factors for all registered and
proposed commodities.
ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting
this chronic dietary risk assessment the
DEEM™) analysis evaluated the
individual food consumption as
reported by respondents in the USDA
1989-1992- nationwide Continuing
Surveys of Food Intake by Individuals
(CSF11) and accumulated exposure to
the chemical for each commodity. The
following assumptions were made for
the chronic exposure assessments: A
chronic analysis was performed for tho
general U.S. population and all
population subgroups using tolerance
level residues, 100% crop treated, and
-------
39678 Federal Register/Vol. 66, No. 148/Wednesday, August 1, 2001/Rules and Regulations
DEEM™ default processing factors for
all registered and proposed
commodities.
ill. Cancer. Carfentrazone-ethyl is
classified as "not likely" to be a human
carcinogen.
iv. Anticipated residue and percent
crop treated information. Section
408(b)(2)(F) states that the Agency may
use data on the actual percent of food
treated for assessing chronic dietary risk
only if the Agency can make the
following findings: Condition 1, that the
data used are reliable and provide a
valid basis to show what percentage of
the food derived from such crop is
likely to contain such pesticide residue;
Condition 2, that the exposure estimate
does not underestimate exposure for any
significant subpopulation group; and
Condition 3, if data are available on
pesticide use and food consumption in
a particular area, the exposure estimate
does not understate exposure for the
population in such area. In addition, the
Agency must provide for periodic
evaluation of any estimates used. To
provide for the periodic evaluation of
the estimate of percent crop treated
(PCT) as required by section
408(b)(2)(F), EPA may require
registrants to submit data on PCT.
The Agency used percent crop treated
(PCr) information as follows: The
Agency believes that the three
conditions listed [above] have been met.
With respect to Condition 1, PCT
estimates are derived from Federal and
private market survey data, which are
reliable and have a valid basis. EPA uses
a weighted average PCT for chronic
dietary exposure estimates. This
weighted average PCT figure is derived
by averaging State-level data for a
period of up to 10 years, and weighting
for the more robust and recent data. A
weighted average of the PCT reasonably
represents a person's dietary exposure
over a lifetime, and is unlikely to
underestimate exposure to an individual
because of the fact that pesticide use
patterns (both regionally and nationally)
tend to change continuously over time,
such that an individual is unlikely to be
exposed to more than the average PCT
over a lifetime. For acute dietary
exposure estimates, EPA uses an
estimated maximum PCT. The exposure
estimates resulting from this approach
reasonably represent the highest levels
to which an individual could be
exposed, and are unlikely to
underestimate an individual's acute
dietary exposure. The Agency is
reasonably certain that the percentage of
the food treated is not likely to be an
underestimation. As to Conditions 2 and
3, regional consumption information
and consumption information for
significant subpopulations is taken into
account through EPA's computer-based
model for evaluating the exposure of
significant subpopulations including
several regional groups. Use of this
consumption information in EPA's risk
assessment process ensures that EPA's
exposure estimate does not understate
exposure for any significant
subpopulation group and allows the
Agency to be reasonably certain that no
regional population is exposed to
residue levels higher than those
estimated by the Agency. Other than the
data available through national food
consumption surveys, EPA does not
have available information on the
regional consumption of food to which
carfentrazone-ethyl may be applied in a
particular area.
2, Dietary exposure from drinking
water. Carfentrazone-ethyl breaks down
rapidly in the environment to
carfentrazone-chloropropionic acid
(F8426-C1PAC). The chloropropionic
acid degradate subsequently breaks
down to F8426-cinnamic acid, F8426-
propionic acid, F8426-benzoic acid, and
3-hyroxymethyl-F8426-benzoic acid at
slower rates than the parent compound.
The Agency lacks sufficient
monitoring exposure data to complete a
comprehensive dietary exposure
analysis and risk assessment for
carfentrazone-ethyl in drinking water.
Because the Agency does not have
comprehensive monitoring data,
drinking water concentration estimates
are made by reliance on simulation or
modeling taking into account data on
the physical c haracteristics of
carfentrazone-ethyl.
The Agency uses the Generic
Estimated Environmental Concentration
(GENEEC} or the Pesticide Root Zone/
Exposure Analysis Modeling System
(PRZM/EXAMS) to estimate pesticide
concentrations in surface water and SC1-
GROW, which predicts pesticide
concentrations in groundwater. In
general, EPA will use GENEEC (a tier 1
model) before using PRZM/EXAMS (a
tier 2 model) for a screening-level
assessment for surface water. The
GENEEC model is a subset of the PRZM/
EXAMS model that uses a specific high-
end runoff scenario for pesticides.
GENEEC incorporates a farm pond
scenario, while PRZM/EXAMS
incorporate an index reservoir
environment in place of the previous
pond scenario. The PRZM/EXAMS
model includes a percent crop area
factor as an adjustment to account for
the maximum percent crop coverage
within a watershed drainage basin.
None of these models include
consideration of the impact processing
(mixing, dilution, or treatment) of raw
water for distribution as drinking water
would likely have on the removal of
pesticides from the source water. The
primary use of these models by the
Agency at this stage is to provide a
coarse screen for sorting out pesticides
for which it is highly unlikely that
drinking water concentrations would
ever exceed human health levels of
concern.
Since the models used are considered
to be screening tools in the risk
assessment process, the Agency does
not use estimated environmental
concentrations (EECs) from these
models to quantify drinking water
exposure and risk as a %RfD or %PAD.
Instead drinking water levels of
comparison (DWLOCs) are calculated
and used as a point of comparison
against the model estimates of a
pesticide's concentration in water.
DWLOCs are theoretical upper limits on
a pesticide's concentration in drinking
water in light of total aggregate exposure
to a pesticide in food, and from
residential uses. Since DWLOCs address
total aggregate exposure to
carfentrazone-ethyl they are further
discussed in the aggregate risk sections
below.
The residues of concern in water are
carfentrazone-ethyl, F8426-ClPAc, and
F8126-CAc. Due to the hydrolysis and
metabolic half-life of carfentrazone-
ethyl, F8426-ClPAc and F8126-CAc, the
agency concluded that the combined
EECs for these three compounds would
not be significantly different from the
EECs for F8426-ClPAc alone. Therefore,
a Tier 1 was provided for ground water
(SC1-GROW) and surface water
(GENEEC) EECs for only F8426-ClPAc.
Both models assumed a seasonal
application rate of 0.4 Ibs ai/acre
(highest proposed and registered rate).
Based on the GENEEC and SCI-GROW
models the estimated environmental
concentrations (EECs) of carfentrazone-
ethyl exposure for surface water is
estimated to be 21 part per billions
(ppb) for the peak concentration, and
exposure for ground water is estimated
to be 13.4 ppb.
3. From non-dietary exposure. The
term "residential exposure" is used in
this document to refer to non-
occupational, non-dietary exposure
(e.g., for lawn and garden pest control,
indoor pest control, termiticides, and
flea and tick control on pets).
Carfentrazone-ethyl is not registered
for use on any sites that would result in
residential exposure.
4. Cumulative exposure to substances
with a common mechanism oftoxicity.
Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) requires that,'
when considering whether to establish,
modify, or revoke a tolerance, the
-------
Federal Register/Vol. 66, No, 148/Wednesday, August 1, 2001/Rules and Regulations 39679
Agency consider "available
information" concerning the cumulative
effects of a particular pesticide's
residues and "other substances that
have a common mechanism of toxicity."
EPA does not have, at this time,
available data to determine whether
carfentrazone-ethyl has a common
mechanism of toxicity with other
substances or how to include this
pesticide in a cumulative risk
assessment. Unlike other pesticides for
which EPA has followed a cumulative
risk approach based on a common
mechanism of toxicity, carfentrazone-
ethyl does not appear to produce a toxic
metabolite produced by other
substances. For the purposes of this
tolerance action, therefore, EPA has not
assumed that carfentrazone-ethyl has a
common mechanism of toxicity with
other substances. For information
regarding EPA's efforts to determine
which chemicals have a common
mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate
the cumulative effects of such
chemicals, see the final rule for
Bifenthrin Pesticide Tolerances (62 FR
62961, November 26,1997).
D. Safety Factor for Infants and
Children
1. In general. FFDCA section 408
provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold margin of safety for
infants and children in the case of
threshold effects to account for prenatal
and postnatal toxicity and the
completeness of the data base on
toxicity and exposure unless EPA
determines that a different margin of
safety will be safe for infants and
children. Margins of safety are
incorporated into EPA risk assessments
either directly through use of a margin
of exposure (MOE) analysis or through
using uncertainty (safety) factors in
calculating a dose level that poses no
appreciable risk to humans.
2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity.
Based on the developmental and 2—
generation reproduction study, there
was no indication of increased
susceptibility of rats or rabbits to in
utero and/or postnatal exposure to the
chemical. Therefore, Carfentrazone-
ethyl is not a developmental or
reproductive toxicant.
3. Conclusion, There is a complete
toxicity data base for carfentrazone-
ethyl and exposure data are complete or
are estimated based on data that
reasonably accounts for potential
exposures. EPA determined that the 10X
safety factor to protect infants and
children should bo removed. The FQPA
safety factor was reduced to IX. The
rationale was based on the following:
There was no indication of increased
susceptibility of rats or rabbits to in
utero and/or postnatal exposure to the
chemical; the lexicological data base is
complete; and the fact that there are no
registered residential products, in
conjunction with the use of generally
high quality data, conservative models
and/or assumptions in the exposure
assessment provide adequate protection
for infants and children.
E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of
Safety
To estimate total aggregate exposure
to a pesticide from food, drinking water,
and residential uses, the Agency
calculates DWLOCs which are used as a
point of comparison against the model
estimates of a pesticide's concentration
in water (EECs). DWLOC values are not
regulatory standards for drinking water.
DWLOCs are theoretical upper limits on
a pesticide's concentration in drinking
water in light of total aggregate exposure
to a pesticide in food and residential
uses. In calculating a DWLOC, the
Agency determines how much of the
acceptable exposure (i.e., the PAD) is
available for exposure through drinking
water le.g., allowable chronic water
exposure (mg/kg/day) = cPAD - (average
food + residential exposure)]. This
allowable exposure through drinking
water is used to calculate a DWLOC.
A DWLOC will vary depending on the
toxic endpoint, drinking water
consumption, and body weights. Default
body weights and consumption values
as used by the USEPA Office of Water
are used to calculate DWLOCs: 2L/70 kg
(adult male), 2L/60 kg (adult female).
and 1L/10 kg (child). Default body
weights and drinking water
consumption values vary on an
individual basis. This variation will be
taken into account in more refined
screening-level and quantitative
drinking water exposure assessments.
Different populations will have different
DWLOCs. Generally, a DWLOC is
calculated for each type of risk
assessment used: Acute, short-term,
intermediate-term, chronic, and cancer.
When EECs for surface water and
groundwater are less than the calculated
DWLOCs, OPP concludes with
reasonable certainty that exposures to
the pesticide in drinking water (when
considered along with other sources of
exposure for which OPP has reliable
data) would not result in unacceptable
levels of aggregate human health risk at
this time. Because OPP considers the
aggregate risk resulting from multiple
exposure pathways associated with a
pesticide's uses, levels of comparison in
drinking water may vary as those uses
change. If new uses are added in the
future, OPP will reassess the potential
impacts of residues of the pesticide in
drinking water as a part of the aggregate
risk assessment process.
1. Acute risk. A Tier 1 acute dietary
exposure analysis for carfentrazone-
ethyl was performed using existing and
proposed tolerance level residues, 100
CT for all commodities, and DEEM™
default processing factors. The acute
analysis was performed for the LI.S.
population and population subgroups.
Using the exposure assumptions
discussed in this unit for acute
exposure, the acute dietary exposure
from food to carfentrazone-ethyl will
occupy <1 % of aPAD for all population
subgroups at the 95th percent! le. In
addition, there is potential for acute
dietary exposure to carfentrazone-ethyl
in drinking water. After calculating
DWLOCs and comparing them to the
EECs for surface and ground water, EPA
does not expect the aggregate exposure
to exceed 100% of the aPAD, as shown
in the following Table 2:

2. Chronic risk. A Tier 1 chronic
dietary exposure analysis for
carfentrazone-ethyl was performed
using existing and proposed tolerance
level residues, 100 CT for all
commodities, and DEEM™ default
processing factors. The chronic analysis
was performed for U.S. population and
population subgroups. Using the
exposure assumptions described in this
unit for chronic exposure, EPA has
concluded that exposure to
carfentrazone-ethyl from food will
utilize < 4% of the cPAD for all
population subgroups. There are no
residential uses for carfentrazone-ethyl
that result in chronic residential
exposure to carfentrazone-ethyl. In
addition, there is potential for chronic
dietary exposure to carfentrazone-ethyl
in drinking water. After calculating
DWLOCs and comparing them to the
EECs for surface and ground water, EPA
does not expect the aggregate exposure
to exceed 100% of the cPAD, as shown
in the following Table 3:

3. Aggregate cancer risk for U.S.
population. EPA has classified
carfentrazone-ethyl as a "not likely" to
be a human carcinogen; 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
carefentrazone-ethyl residues.
4. Determination of safety. Based on
these risk assessments, 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
carfentrazone-ethyl residues.
IV, Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
The methods used in the field trial
study for caneborry and cotton have
been validated and are adequate for data
gathering purposes. The method may be
requested from: Francis Griffith,
Analytical Chemical Branch,
Environmental Science Center, 701
Mapes Road, Fort George G. Mead,
Maryland, 20755-5350; telephone
number: (410) 305-2905; e-mail address:
griffith.francis@epa.gov.
B. International Residue Limits
There are no Codex, Canadian, or
Mexican maximum residue limits for
residues of carfentrazone-ethyl and
F8426-Cl-PAc in/on caneberry, cotton
gin byproducts, cottonseed, cottonseed
hulls, cottonseed oil, or cottonseed
meal.
C. Conditions
IR-4's petition for carfentrazone-ethyl
in/on the caneberry subgroup at 0,1
ppm has been made conditional.
Additional caneberry field trials and the
proposed caneberry enforcement
method must be submitted and
validated by the agency before
unconditional registration is granted.
FMC's must submit a cottonseed
processing study. Unconditional
registration may be granted upon
submission and review of the requested
cotton processing study.
V. Conclusion
Therefore, these tolerances are
established for combined residues of
carfentrazone-ethyl, (ethyl-alpha,-2-
dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-
dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-lH-l,2,4-
triazol-l-yl]-4-fluorobenzenepropanoate)
and carfentrazone-ethyl chloropropionic
acid (oc, 2-dichloro-5-[4-
(difluromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-
oxo-lH-l,2,4-triazol-l-yl]-4-
fluorobenzene propanoic acid), in or on
caneberry subgroup at 0.1 ppm, cotton,
undelinted seed (0.20 ppm); cotton, gin
byproducts (10 ppm); cottonseed, hulls
(0.6 ppm); cottonseed, meal (0.35 ppm);
and cottonseed, refined oil (1.0 ppm).
VI. Objections and Hearing Requests
Under section 408(g) of the FFDCA, as
amended by the FQPA, any person may
file an objection to any aspect of this
regulation and may also request a
hearing on those objections. The EPA
procedural regulations which govern the
submission of objections and requests
for hearings appear in 40 CFR part 178.
Although the procedures in those
regulations require some modification to
reflect the amendments made to the
FFDCA by the FQPA of 1996, EPA will
continue to use those procedures, with
appropriate adjustments, until the
necessary modifications can be made.
The new section 408(g) provides
essentially the same process for persons
to "object" to a regulation for an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance issued by EPA under new
section 408(d), as was provided in the
old FFDCA sections 408 and 409.
However, the period for filing objections
is now 60 days, rather than 30 days.

one or more of such issues in favor of
the requestor, taking into account
uncontested claims or facts to the
contrary; and resolution of the factual
issues(s) in the manner sought by die
requestor would be adequate to justify
the action requested (40 CFR 178.32)."
VII. Regulatory Assessment
Requirements
This final rule establishes a tolerance
under FFDCA section 408(d) in
response to a petition submitted to the
Agency. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has exempted these types
of actions from review under Executive
Order 12866, entitled Regulatory
Planning and Review (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993), This final rule does
not contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any
enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public
Law 104-4). Nor does it require any
special considerations as required by
Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental
justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629,
February 16,1994); or OMB review or
any Agency action under Executive
Order 13045, entitled Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Bisks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,
April 23,1997). This action 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 of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-
113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under FFDCA section 408(d), such as
the tolerance in this final rule, do not
require the issuance of a proposed rule,
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C, 601 et
seq.} do not apply. In addition, the
Agency has determined that this action
will not have a substantial direct effect
on States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132, entitled
Federalism^ FR 43255, August 10,
1999). Executive Order 13132 requires
EPA to develop an accountable process
to ensure "meaningful and timely input
by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that
have federalism implications." "Policies
that have federalism implications" is
defined in the Executive Order to
include regulations that have
"substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government." This final rule
directly regulates growers, food
processors, food handlers and food
retailers, not States. This action does not
alter the relationships or distribution of
power and responsibilities established
by Congress in the preemption
provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4).
VIII, Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. 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 this final
rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a "major rule" as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) 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 408(b)(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. Section
408(b)(2)(C) 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...."
EPA performs a number of analyses to
determine the risks from aggregate
exposure to pesticide residues. For
further discussion of the regulatory
requirements of section 408 of FFDCA
and a complete description of the risk
assessment process, see the final rule on
Bifenthrin Pesticide Tolerances (62 FR
62961, November 26,1997) (FRL-5754-
7).
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and
Determination of Safety
Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D)
of FFDCA, 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,
consistent with section 408(b)(2) of
FFDCA, for a tolerance for combined
residues of carfentrazone-ethyl and its
metabolite, carfentrazone-ethyl
chloropropionic acid, on Vegetable, root

(cattle, goat, horse, and sheep) at 0.10
ppm and milk at 0.05 ppm, EPA's
assessment of exposures and risks
associated with establishing the
tolerance follows:
A. Toxicologica! Profile
EPA has evaluated the available
toxicity data and considered its validity,
completeness, and reliability as well as
the relationship of the results of the
studies to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information
concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable
subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children. The nature of the
toxic effects caused by carfentrazone-
ethyl are discussed in the Unit III.A. of
the final rule on carfentrazone-ethyl
published in the Federal Register of
August 9, 2000 (65 FR 48620) (FRL-
6597-7).
B. Toxicological Endpoints
The dose at which no adverse effects
are observed (the NOAEL) from the
toxicology study identified as
appropriate for use in risk assessment is
used to estimate the toxicological level
of concern (LOG). However, the lowest
dose at which adverse effects of concern
are identified (the LOAEL) is sometimes
used for risk assessment if no NOAEL
was achieved in the toxicology study
selected. An uncertainty factor (UF) is
-------
Federal Register/Vol. 69, No. 188/Wednesday, September 29, 2004/Rules and Regulations 58073
applied to reflect uncertainties inherent
in the extrapolation from laboratory
animal data to humans and in the "
variations in sensitivity among members
of the human population as well as
other unknowns. An UF of 100 is
routinely used, 10X to account for
interspecies differences and 10X for
intraspecies differences.
Three other types of safety or
uncertainty factors may be used:
"Traditional uncertainty factors;" the
"special FQPA safety factor;" and the
"default FQPA safety factor." By the
term "traditional uncertainty factor,"
EPA is referring to those additional
uncertainty factors used prior to FQPA
passage to account for database
deficiencies. These traditional
uncertainty factors have been
incorporated by the FQPA into the
additional safety factor for the
protection of infants and children. The
term "special FQPA safety factor" refers
to those safety factors that are deemed
necessary for the protection of infants
and children primarily as a result of the
FQPA. The "default FQPA safety factor"
is the additional 10X safety factor that
is mandated by the statute unless it is
decided that there are reliable data to
choose a different additional factor
(potentially a traditional uncertainty
factor or a special FQPA safety factor).
For dietary risk assessment (other
than cancer) the Agency uses the UF to
calculate an acute or chronic reference
dose (acute RfD or chronic RfD) where
the RfD is equal to the NOAEL divided
by an UF of 100 to account for
interspecies and intraspecies differences
and any traditional uncertainty factors
deemed appropriate (RfD = NOAEL/UF).
Where a special FQPA safety factor or
the default FQPA safety factor is used,
this additional factor is applied to the
RfD by dividing the RfD by such
additional factor. The acute or chronic
Population Adjusted Dose (aPAD or
cPAD) is a modification of the RfD to
accommodate this type of safety factor.
For non-dietary risk assessments
(other than cancer) the UF is used to
determine the LOG. For example, when
100 is the appropriate UF (10X to
account for interspecies differences and
10X for intraspecies differences) the
LOG is 100. To estimate risk, a ratio of
the NOAEL to exposures (margin of
exposure (MOE) = NOAEL/exposure) is
calculated and compared to the LOG.
The linear default risk methodology
(Q*) is the primary method currently
used by the Agency to quantify
carcinogenic risk. The Q* approach
assumes that any amount of exposure
will lead to some degree of cancer risk.
A Q* is calculated and used to estimate
risk which represents a probability of
occurrence of additional cancer cases
(e.g., risk). An example of how such a
probability risk is expressed would be to
describe the risk as one in one hundred
thousand (1 X ID'5), one in a million (1
X 10-"), or one in ten million (1 X 10-7).
Under certain specific circumstances,
MOE calculations will be used for the
carcinogenic risk assessment. In this
non-linear approach, a "point of
departure" is identified below which
carcinogenic effects are not expected.
The point of departure is typically a
NOAEL based on an endpoint related to
cancer effects though it may be a
different value derived from the dose
response curve. To estimate risk, a ratio
of the point of departure to exposure
(MOE CIlnccr = point of departure/
exposures) is calculated.
A summary of the toxicological
endpoints for carfentrazone-ethyl used
for human risk assessment is discussed
in Unit III.B. of the final rule published
in the Federal Register of August 9,
2000 (65 FR 48620).
C. Exposure Assessment
I. Dietary exposure from food and
feed uses. Tolerances have been
established (40 CFR 180.5l5(a) for the
combined residues of carfentrazone-
ethyl and its metabolite, in or on a
variety of raw agricultural commodities.
Risk assessments were conducted by
EPA to assess dietary exposures from
carfentrazone-ethyl in food as follows:
i. Acute exposure. Acute dietary risk
assessments are performed for a food-
use pesticide, if a toxicological study
has indicated the possibility of an effect
of concern occurring as a result of a 1-
day or single exposure.
In conducting the acute dietary risk
assessment EPA used the Dietary
Exposure Evaluation Model software
with the Food Commodity Intake
Database (DEEM-FCID™), which
incorporates food consumption data as
reported by respondents in the USDA
1994-1996 and 1998 Nationwide
Continuing Surveys of Food Intake by
Individuals (CSFII), and accumulated
exposure to the chemical for each
commodity. The following assumptions
were made for the acute exposure
assessments: For the acute analyses,
conservative estimates of expected
residues were assumed for all food
commodities with current or proposed
carfentrazone-ethyl tolerances, and it
was assumed that all of the crops
included in the analysis were treated.
Percent Crop Treated (PCT) and/or
anticipated residues were not used in
the acute risk assessment.
ii. Chronic exposure. In conducting
the chronic dietary risk assessment EPA
used the DEEM-FCID™ , which
incorporates food consumption data as
reported by respondents in the USDA
1994-1996 and 1998 Nationwide CSFII,
and accumulated exposure to the
chemical for each commodity. The
following assumptions were made for
the chronic exposure assessments: For
the chronic analyses, conservative
estimates of expected residues were
assumed for all food commodities with
current or proposed carfentrazone-ethyl
tolerances, and it was assumed that all
of the crops included in the analysis
were treated. PCT and/or anticipated
residues were not used in the chronic
risk assessment.
iii. Cancer. Carfentrazone-ethyl is
classified as "not likely" a human
carcinogen.
2. Dietary exposure from drinking
water. The Agency lacks sufficient
monitoring exposure data to complete a
comprehensive dietary exposure
analysis and risk assessment for
carfentrazone-ethyl in drinking water.
Because the Agency does not have
comprehensive monitoring data,
drinking water concentration estimates
are made by reliance on simulation or
modeling taking into account data on
the physical characteristics of
carfentrazone-ethyl.
The Agency uses the FQPA Index
Reservoir Screening Tool (FIRST) or the
Pesticide Root Zone Model/Exposure
Analysis Modeling System (PRZM/
EXAMS), to produce estimates of
pesticide concentrations in an index
reservoir. The Screening Concentrations
in Groundwater (SCI-GROW) model is
used to predict pesticide concentrations
in shallow ground water. For a
screening-level assessment for surface
water EPA will use FIRST (a tier 1
model) before using PRZM/EXAMS (a
tier 2 model). The FIRST model is a
subset of the PRZM/EXAMS model that
uses a specific high-end runoff scenario
for pesticides. Both FIRST and PRZM/
EXAMS incorporate an index reservoir
environment, and both models include
a percent crop area factor as an
adjustment to account for the maximum
percent crop coverage within a
watershed or drainage basin.
None of these models include
consideration of the impact processing
(mixing, dilution, or treatment) of raw
water for distribution as driinking water
would likely have on the removal of
pesticides from the source water. The
primary use of these models by the
Agency at this stage is to provide a
screen for sorting out pesticides for
which it is unlikely that drinking water
concentrations would exceed human
health levels of concern.
Since the models used are considered
to be screening tools in the risk
-------
58074 Federal Register/Vol. 69, No. 188/Wednesday, September 29, 2004/Rules and Regulations
assessment process, the Agency does
not use estimated environmental
concentrations (EECs), which are the
model estimates of a pesticide's
concentration in water. EECs derived
from these models are used to quantify
drinking water exposure and risk as a
%RfD or %PAD. Instead drinking water
levels of comparison (DWLOCs) are
calculated and used as a point of
comparison against the model estimates
of a pesticide's concentration in water.
DWLOCs are theoretical upper limits on
a pesticide's concentration in drinking
water in light of total aggregate exposure
to a pesticide in food, and from
residential uses. Since DWLOCs address
total aggregate exposure to
carfentrazone-ethyl they are further
discussed in the aggregate risk sections
in Unit II1.E.
Based on the FIRST and SCI-GROW
models, the EECs of carfentrazone-ethyl
for acute exposures are estimated to he
34.3 parts per billion (ppb) for surface
water and 13.4 ppb for ground water.
The EECs for chronic exposures are
estimated to be 19.0 ppb for surface
water and 13.4 ppb for ground water.
3. From non-dietary exposure. The
term "residential exposure" is used in
this document to refer to non-
occupational, non-dietary exposure
(e.g., for lawn and garden pest control,
indoor pest control, termiticides, and
flea and tick control on pets).
Carfentrazone-ethyl is currently
registered for use on the following
residential non-dietary sites:
Ornamental lawns and turf (application
by commercial operators only. There is
a proposed aquatic use under review.
The risk assessment was conducted
using the following residential exposure
assumptions: Exposures to toddlers in
the residential lawn setting would be
higher than that encountered by
toddlers in an institutional setting, such
as in schools and parks. It was
anticipated that herbicide application to
homeowner lawns is a seasonal event,
thus, only short-term post-application
residential exposures were conducted.
A swimmer exposure assessment was
conducted based on the proposed
aquatic application. The swimmer
assessment estimates exposures from
oral (ingestion) and inhalation routes.
No systemic toxicity was seen at the
limit-dose (1,000 milligrams/kilogram/
day (mg/kg/day)) in a 21-day dermal
toxicity study in rats, therefore, these
risk assessments are not required. Based
on the use pattern, long-term exposure
is not anticipated.
4. Cumulative effects from substances
with a common mechanism of toxicity.
Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA
requires that, when considering whether
to establish, modify, or revoke a
tolerance, the Agency consider
"available information" concerning the
cumulative effects of a particular
pesticide's residues and "other
substances that have a common
mechanism of toxicity."
Unlike other pesticides for which EPA
has followed a cumulative risk approach
based on a common mechanism of
toxicity, EPA has not made a common
mechanism of toxicity finding as to
carfentrazone-ethyl and any other
substances and carfentrazone-ethyl does
not appear to produce a toxic metabolite
produced by other substances. For the
purposes of this tolerance action,
therefore, EPA has not assumed that
carfentrazone-ethyl has a common
mechanism of toxicity with other
substances. For information regarding
EPA's efforts to determine which
chemicals have a common mechanism
of toxicity and to evaluate the
cumulative effects of such chemicals,
see the policy statements released by
EPA's OPP concerning common
mechanism determinations and
procedures for cumulating effects from
substances found to have a common
mechanism on EPA's web site at http:/
/mvw.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative/.
D. Safety Factor for Infants and
Children
1. in general. Section 408 of FPDCA
provides that EPA shall apply an
additional tenfold margin of safety for
infants and children in the case of
threshold effects to account for prenatal
and postnatal toxicity and the
completeness of the data base on
toxicity and exposure unless EPA
determines based on reliable data that a
different margin of safety will be safe for
infants and children. Margins of safety
are incorporated into EPA risk
assessments either directly through use
of a MOE analysis or through using
uncertainty (safety) factors in
calculating a dose level that poses no
appreciable risk to humans. In applying
this provision, EPA either retains the
default value of 10X when reliable data
do not support the choice of a different
factor, or, if reliable data are available,
EPA uses a different additional safety
factor value based on the use of
traditional uncertainty factors and/or
special FQPA safety factors, as
appropriate.
2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity.
There is no evidence of increased
susceptibility of rat or rabbit fetuses
following in utero exposure in the
developmental studies with
carfentrazone-ethyl. There is no
evidence of increased susceptibility of
rats in the reproduction study with
carfentrazone-ethyl. EPA concluded
there are no residual uncertainties for
prenatal and/or postnatal exposure.
3, Conclusion. EPA concluded that,
based on the absence of residual
uncertainties for prenatal and/or
postnatal exposure and complete
toxicology, environmental fate, residue
chemistry data bases, and the
conservative assumptions used when
generating the dietary and residential
exposure estimates, there are reliable
data showing that it is safe for infants
and children to remove the additional
10X safety factor.
E. Aggregate Bisks and Determination of
Safety
To estimate total aggregate exposure
to a pesticide from food, drinking water,
and residential uses, the Agency
calculates DWLOCs which are used as a
point of comparison against EECs.
DWLOC values are not regulatory
standards for drinking water. DWLOCs
are theoretical upper limits on a
pesticide's concentration in drinking
water in light of total aggregate exposure
to a pesticide in food and residential
uses. In calculating a DWLOC, the
Agency determines how much of the
acceptable exposure (i.e., the PAD) is
available for exposure through drinking
water (e.g., allowable chronic water
exposure (mg/kg/day) = cPAD - (average
food + residential exposure). This
allowable exposure through drinking
water is used to calculate a DWLOC.
A DWLOC will vary depending on the
toxic endpoint, drinking water
consumption, and body weights. Default
body weights and consumption values
as used by the EPA's Office of Water are
used to calculate DWLOCs: 2 liter (L)/
70 kg (adult male), 2L/60 kg (adult
female and youth 13-19, and 1L/10 kg
(child). Default body weights and
drinking water consumption values vary
on an individual basis. This variation
will be taken into account in more
refined screening-level and quantitative
drinking water exposure assessments.
Different populations will have different
DWLOCs. Generally, a DWLOC is
calculated for each type of risk
assessment used: Acute, short-term,
intermediate-term, chronic, and cancer.
When EECs for surface water and
ground water are less than the
calculated DWLOCs, OPP concludes
with reasonable certainty that exposures
to the pesticide in drinking water (when
considered along with other sources of
exposure for which OPP has reliable
data) would not result in unacceptable
levels of aggregate human health risk at
this time. Because OPP considers the
aggregate risk resulting from multiple
exposure pathways associated with a
-------
Federal Register/Vol. 69, No, 188/Wednesday, September 29, 2004/Rules and Regulations 58075
pesticide's uses, levels of comparison in acute exposure, the acute dietary
drinking water may vary as those uses exposure from food to carfentrazone-
change. If new uses are added in the ethyl will occupy less than 1% of the
future, OPP will reassess the potential - -~ -
impacts of residues of the pesticide in
drinking water as a part of the aggregate
risk assessment process.

population subgroups.
In addition, mere is potential for

calculating DWLOCs and comparing
them to the EECs for surface and ground

unit.

3. Short-term risk. Short-term

-------
58076 Federal Register/Vol. 69, No. 188/Wednesday, September 29, 2004/Rules and Regulations
Agency has determined that it is
appropriate to aggregate chronic food
and water and short-term exposures for
carfentrazone-ethyl,
Using the exposure assumptions
described in this unit for short-term
exposures, EPA has concluded that food
and residential exposures (including
potential aquatic exposure) aggregated
result in aggregate MOEs of 72,875 for
the general population and 22,339 for
children 1-2 years old. These aggregate
MOEs do not exceed the Agency's level
of concern for aggregate exposure to
food and residential uses. In addition,
short-term DWLOCs were calculated
and compared to the EECs for chronic-
exposure of carfentrazone-ethyl in
ground and surface water. After
calculating DWLOCs and comparing
them to the EECs for surface and ground
water, EPA does not expect short-term
aggregate exposure to exceed the
Agency's level of concern, as shown in

5. Determination of safety. Based on
these risk assessments, 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
carfentrazone-ethyl residues.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
Adequate enforcement methodology
(example—gas chromotography) is
available to enforce the tolerance
expression. The method may be
requested from: Chief, Analytical
Chemistry Branch, Environmental
Science Center, 701 Mapes Rd., Ft.
Meade, MD 20755-5350; telephone
number: (410) 305-2905; e-mail address:
residuem eth ods@epa ,gov.
B, International Hesidue Limits
There is neither a Codex proposal, nor
Canadian or Mexican maximum residue
limits, for residues of carfentrazone-
ethyl and F8426-C1-PAC in/on the
proposed crops, livestock, fish, or
shellfish. Therefore, harmonization is
not an issue.
C. Conditions
Residue chemistry: Successful Agency
Validation of Proposed Livestock/Fish/
Shellfish Enforcement Method.
V. Comments
Three comments were received in
response to the notices of filing. Two
comments from B. Sachau objected to
the proposed tolerances because of the
amounts of pesticides already consumed
and carried by the American
population. She further indicated that
testing conducted on animals have
absolutely no validity and are cruel to
the test animals. Bonita Poulin
commented that she doesn't approve of
more chemical contamination of our
food when we should be decreasing the
residual poisons building up within us,
which are already causing health
problems. She also indicated that there
are safe alternatives available.
Ms. Sachau's and Ms. Poulin's
comments contained no scientific data
or evidence to rebut the Agency's
conclusion that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result from
aggregate exposure to carfentrazone
ethyl, including all anticipated dietary
exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.
VI. Conclusion
Therefore, the tolerance is established
for combined residues of carfentrazone-
ethyl (ethyl -alpha,2-dichloro-5- [4-

5-oxo-lH-l,2,4-triazol-l-yl)-4-

VII. Objections and Hearing Requests
Under section 408(g) of FFDCA, as
amended by FQPA, any person may file
an objection to any aspect of this
regulation and may also request a
hearing on those objections. The EPA
procedural regulations which govern the
submission of objections and requests
for hearings appear in 40 CFR part 178.
Although the procedures in those
regulations require some modification to
reflect the amendments made to FFDCA
by FQPA, EPA will continue to use
those procedures, with appropriate
adjustments, until the necessary
modifications can be made. The new
section 408(g) of FFDCA provides
essentially the same process for persons
to "object" to a regulation for an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance issued by EPA under new
section 408(d) of FFDCA, as was
provided in the old sections 408 and
409 of FFDCA. However, the period for
filing objections is now 60 days, rather
than 30 days.
A. What Do I Need to Do to File an
Objection or Request a Hearing?
You must file your objection or
request a hearing on this regulation in
accordance with the instructions
provided in this unit and in 40 CFR part
178. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,
you must identify docket ID number
OPP-2004-0256 in the subject line on
the first page of your submission. All
requests must be in writing, and must be
mailed or delivered to the Hearing Clerk
on or before November 29, 2004.
Filing the request. Your objection
must specify the specific provisions in
the regulation that you object to, and the
grounds for the objections (40 CFR
178.25). If a hearing is requested, the
objections must include a statement of
the factual issues(s) on which a hearing
is requested, the requestor's contentions
on such issues, and a summary of any
evidence relied upon by the objector
d(40 CFR 178.27). Information
submitted in connection with an
objection or hearing request may be
claimed confidential by marking any
part or all of that information as CBI.
Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
A copy of the information that does not
contain CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public record.
Information not marked confidential
may be disclosed publicly by EPA
without prior notice.
Mail your written request to: Office of
the Hearing Clerk (1900L),
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington,
DC 20460-0001. You may also deliver
your request to the Office of the Hearing
Clerk in Suite 350,1099 14Ih St., NW.,
Washington, DC 20005. The Office of
the Hearing Clerk is open from 8 a.m.
to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,
excluding legal holidays. The telephone
number for the Office of the Hearing
Clerk is {202) 564-6255.
B, When Will the Agency Grant a
Bequest for a Hearing?
A request for a hearing will be granted
if the Administrator determines that the
material submitted shows the following:
There is a genuine and substantial issue
of fact; there is a reasonable possibility
that available evidence identified by the
requestor would, if established resolve
one or more of such issues in favor of
the requestor, taking into account
uncontested claims or facts to the
contrary; and resolution of the factual
issues(s) in the manner sought by the
requestor would be adequate to justify
the action requested (40 CFR 178.32)."
VIII. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This final rule establishes a tolerance
under section 408(d) of the FFDCA in
response to a petition submitted to the
Agency. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has exempted these types
of actions from review under Executive
Order 12866, entitled Regulatory
Planning and Review (58 FR 51735,
October 4,1993). Because this rule has
been exempted from review under
Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of
significance, this rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001). This final rule does not
contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any
enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public
Law 104-4). Nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive
Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to
Address Environmental fustics in
Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994); or 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 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 of 1995
(NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section
12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Since
tolerances and exemptions that are
established on the basis of a petition
under section 408(d) of the FFDCA,
such as the tolerance in this final rule,
do not require the issuance of a
proposed rule, the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.} do not apply. In
addition, the Agency has determined
that this action will not have a
substantial direct effect on States, on the
relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
-------
58078 Federal Register/Vol. 69, No, 188/Wednesday, September 29, 2004/Rules and Regulations
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999). Executive Order 13132 requires
EPA to develop an accountable process
to ensure "meaningful and timely input
by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that
have federalism implications." "Policies
that have federalism implications" is
defined in the Executive Order to
include regulations that have
"substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government." This final rule
directly regulates growers, food
processors, food handlers and food
retailers, not States. This action does not
alter the relationships or distribution of
power and responsibilities established
by Congress in the preemption
provisions of section 408(n)(4) of the
FFDCA. For these same reasons, the
Agency has determined that this rule
does not have any "tribal implications"
as described in Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000). Executive
Order 13175, requires EPA to develop
an accountable process to ensure
"meaningful and timely input by tribal
officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have tribal
implications." "Policies that have tribal
implications" is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations
that have "substantial direct effects on
one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal
Government and the Indian tribes, or on
the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes." This
rule will not have substantial direct
effects on tribal governments, on the
relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as
specified in Executive Order 13175.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this rule.
IX. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 ef sec?., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. 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 this final
rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a "major rule" as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2). *

Allethrin, Bendiocarb, Burkholderia
cepacia, Fenridazon potassium, and
Molinate; Tolerance Actions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is revoking all tolerances
for residues of the insecticides allethrin
and bendiocarb, plant growth regulator
fenridazon potassium, herbicide
molinate, and biological pesticide
Burkholderia cepacia because EPA
canceled food registrations or deleted
food uses from registrations following
requests for voluntary cancellation or
use deletion by the registrants. The
regulatory actions in this document
contribute toward the Agency's
tolerance reassessment requirements of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (FFDCA) section 408(q), as amended
by the Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA) of 1996. By law, EPA is required
by August 2006, to reassess the
tolerances in existence on August 2,
1996. The regulatory actions in this
document pertain to the revocation of
110 tolerances and tolerance
exemptions of which 106 count as
tolerance reassessments toward the
August 2006 review deadline.
DATES: This regulation is effective
September 29, 2004. However, certain
regulatory actions will not occur until
the date specified in the regulatory text.
Objections and requests for hearings
must be received on or before November
29, 2004.
ADDRESSES: To submit a written
objection or hearing request follow the
detailed instructions as provided in
Unit IV. of the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION. EPA has established a
docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number QPP-2004-
0260. All documents in the docket are

this Federal Register document
electronically through the EPA Internet

II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
In the Federal Register of July 7, 2004
(69 FR 40831) (FRL-7362-2), EPA
issued a proposed rule to revoke certain
tolerances and tolerance exemptions for
residues of the insecticides allethrin and
bendiocarb, plant growth regulator
fenridazon potassium, herbicide
molinate, and biological pesticide
Burkholderia cepacia. Also, the July 7,
2004 proposal provided a 60-day
comment period which invited public
comment for consideration and for
support of tolerance retention under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) standards.
In this final rule, EPA is revoking
certain tolerances and tolerance
exemptions for residues of the
insecticides allethrin and bendiocarb,
plant growth regulator fenridazon
potassium, herbicide molinate, and the
biological pesticide Burkholderia
cepacia because these specific
tolerances and exemptions correspond
to uses no longer current or registered
under FIFRA in the United States. The
tolerances revoked by this final rule are
no longer necessary to cover residues of
the relevant pesticides in or on
domestically treated commodities or
commodities treated outside but
imported into the United States. It is
EPA's general practice to revoke those
tolerances and tolerance exemptions for
residues of pesticide active ingredients
on crop uses for which there are no
active registrations under FIFRA, unless
any person in comments on the
proposal indicates a need for the
tolerance or tolerance exemption to
cover residues in or on imported
commodities or domestic commodities
legally treated.
EPA has historically expressed a
concern that retention of tolerances that
