{"abstract":"As part of its ongoing review of existing organophosphate (OP) tolerances under the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), EPA has determined that 37 OP tolerances can be reassessed at this time. EPA has concluded that these tolerances make, at most, a negligible contribution to the cumulative risk from OP pesticides. These tolerances are considered to be \"non-contributors\" based on the especially small number (less than 1 percent) of reported pesticide residue detections in the monitoring data being used in the OP cumulative risk assessment (U.S. Department of Agriculture's [USDA] Pesticide Data Program [PDP]). These non-contributor tolerances meet the FQPA safety standard in section 408(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and can be reassessed for the purposes of FFDCA sec. 408 (q). This notice discusses the concept and basis for this approach to reassessing selected OP tolerances based on available information relating to the revised OP cumulative risk assessment (CRA). Nothing in this notice is intended to modify in any way any determination or requirement set forth in individual pesticide IREDs, or affect regulatory agreements or use cancellation actions required for some other purpose (e.g., due to worker or ecological risk concerns). This notice closely relates to two previous Federal Register notices: The notice of July 17, 2002 (67 FR 46972, FRL-7186-8) in which EPA announced the reassessment of non-contributing tolerances for certain commodities with no pesticide residue detections in PDP, and the notice of May 22, 2002 (67 FR 35991, FRL-7178-9) in which EPA announced the reassessment of non-contributing tolerances for certain meats, animal feeds, and refined sugars, and requested suggestions on other approaches for identifying tolerances that do not contribute risk to the OP cumulative risk assessment.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2002/08/14/02-20456.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"67 FR 52987","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The reassessment of these tolerances is effective as of July 23, 2002.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["OPP-2002-0152","FRL-7192-6"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"02-20456","effective_on":"2002-07-23","end_page":52990,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2002/08/14/02-20456.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/08/14/02-20456/organophosphate-pesticides-reassessment-of-additional-non-contributing-commodity-tolerances","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/02-20456?publication_date=2002-08-14","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2002-08-14/02-20456/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":20,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 12:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-08-14/pdf/02-20456.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2002-08-14","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2002/08/14/02-20456.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":52987,"subtype":null,"title":"Organophosphate Pesticides; Reassessment of Additional Non-Contributing Commodity Tolerances","toc_doc":"Azinphos methyl, etc.","toc_subject":"Pesticide programs:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":67}
