2,4-D reconsideration final regulatory decisions
The APVMA has decided to:
a. VARY under section 34A(1) of the Agvet Code the conditions of the approved 2,4-D active constituents specified in Attachment 1, to require that the approved 2,4-D active constituent must contain no more than one part of total dioxins (i.e. the sum of the toxic equivalents of the 17 congeners of concern per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no more than 1 nanogram toxic equivalents of dioxins per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent (ae)).
b. VARY under section 34A(1) of the Agvet Code, the relevant particulars of the approved 2,4-D chemical product labels specified in Attachment 2, in the manner indicated in Attachment 4;
c. AFFIRM under section 34A(1) of the Agvet Code the 2,4-D active constituent approvals as varied in Attachment 1;
d. AFFIRM under section 34A(1) of the Agvet Code the 2, 4-D chemical product label approvals as varied in Attachment 2;
e. AFFIRM under section 34A(1) of the Agvet Code the product registrations in Attachment 2; and
f. CANCEL under section 34AA(1) of the Agvet Code, the registration of products and approval of associated labels in Group 22b containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba as shown in Attachment 3.
Brief reasons for 2,4-D reconsideration final regulatory decisions
VARIATION AND AFFIRMATION OF 2,4-D ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS IN ATTACHMENT 1
The APVMA is not satisfied that the active constituent approvals in Attachment 1 meet the safety criteria set out in s5A of the Agvet Code, but is satisfied that the active constituent approvals can be varied in such a way as to allow the approvals to be affirmed.
The APVMA is not satisfied that the active constituents meet the safety criteria for the following reasons.
The Review Technical Report concluded that:
a. unless the total toxic equivalents of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs in 2,4-D active constituents was restricted to no more than one part of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no more than 1 nanogram of toxic equivalents of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent) health-adverse occupational exposures to these impurities may occur.
b. mixing, loading and applying 2,4-D products will result in an acceptable level of human exposure to polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) provided that:
i. the label directions are adhered to, and
ii. the level PCDDs and PCDFs in 2,4-D active constituents is no more than one part of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no more than 1 nanogram of toxic equivalents of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent).
c. the presence of up to one part of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no more than 1 nanogram of toxic equivalents of the 17 toxicologically significant

congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent) in 2,4-D active constituents would not result in unacceptable food residues and is not a risk to the environment.
Accordingly, the APVMA is satisfied that the conditions of the approval of the 2,4-D active constituents shown in Attachment 1 can be varied to include the following, which would allow the approvals to be affirmed:
a. 2,4-D active constituent must contain no more than one part of total dioxins (i.e. the sum of the toxic equivalents of the 17 congeners of concern per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no more than 1 nanogram toxic equivalents of dioxins per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent).
VARIATION AND AFFIRMATION OF 2,4-D APPROVED LABELS IN ATTACHMENT 2, AND AFFIRMATION OF 2,4-D REGISTERED PRODUCTS IN ATTACHMENT 2
The APVMA is not satisfied that the chemical product label approvals in Attachment 2 meet the labelling criteria set out in s5D of the Agvet Code, but is satisfied that the particulars of the label approvals can be varied in such a way as to allow the label approvals to be affirmed.
The APVMA is not satisfied that the label approvals meet the labelling criteria for the following reasons.
The Review Technical Report concluded that:
a. variations to the relevant label particulars were required in order to provide adequate instructions to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that the 2, 4-D chemical products meet the safety criteria as set out in section 5A of the Agvet Code
b. unless the total toxic equivalents of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs in 2,4-D active constituents was restricted to no more than one part of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no more than 1 nanogram of toxic equivalents of the 17 toxicologically significant congeners of PCDDs and PCDFs per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent) health-adverse occupational exposures to these impurities may occur.
c. the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for 2,4-D should be revised.
d. the acute reference dose (ARfD) for 2,4-D should be revised.
e. the first aid instructions and safety directions on 2,4-D product labels require updating to minimise unacceptable exposure and risks.
f. a grazing withholding period of 7 days is required where treated pastures or crops are used for animal feed but export slaughter intervals are not required.
g. amendments to the APVMA Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) Standard for animal feeds and animal commodities are required to align the MRLs with residues expected from current use patterns.
h. a maximum application rate of less than or equal to 4500 g 2,4-D acid equivalent per hectare is required to mitigate the risks to birds and mammals.
i. buffer zones are required to mitigate the risks to non-target terrestrial plants and to mitigate the risks to aquatic species due to spray drift exposure.
j. label amendments are required to mitigate the risks to aquatic species due to run-off exposure, to mitigate the risks to aquatic ecosystems associated with the use of 2,4-D products for aquatic weed control and to mitigate the risks to non-target terrestrial arthropods that are associated with the use of products containing 2,4-D ethylhexyl ester as an active constituent
Brief reasons for 2,4-D reconsideration final regulatory decisions
Commonwealth of Australia GazetteAPVMA Special Gazette, Thursday 3 September 2020 Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994
Accordingly, the APVMA is satisfied that the particulars of the label approvals of the 2,4-D chemical products shown in Attachment 2 can be varied in the manner indicated in Attachment 4 so that use of all 2, 4-D chemical products in Attachment 2 would meet the safety criteria defined in section 5A(1) of the Code.
CANCELLATION OF 2,4-D REGISTERED PRODUCTS AND ASSOCIATED APPROVED LABELS IN ATTACHMENT 3
The APVMA is not satisfied that the chemical products in Attachment 3 meet the safety criteria set out in s5A of the Agvet Code, and is not satisfied that the approved labels in Attachment 3 meet the labelling criteria set out in s5D of the Agvet Code.
The APVMA is not satisfied that the label approvals could be varied in such a way as to allow affirmation of the product registrations for the following reasons.
Group 22b products are home and garden products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt, 336 g/L mecoprop and 40 g/L dicamba. The Review Technical Report concluded that:
a. in order to mitigate the human health hazards and risks associated with opening the container and preparing the product for use the following personal protective equipment would be required: protective waterproof clothing, elbow-length chemical resistant gloves, impervious footwear, goggles and half facepiece respirator with organic vapour/gas cartridge or canister.
b. in order to mitigate the human health hazards and risks when using the product the following personal protective equipment would be required to mitigate the human health hazards and risks: cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves.
Due to concerns regarding effectiveness and compliance with these safety requirements, this level of personal protective equipment is not regarded as a reliable risk management approach for non-professional, home and garden product use. Furthermore, non-professional users of Group 22b products are unlikely to have sufficient training and experience in the effective use of the combination of personal protective equipment that is necessary to mitigate the risks to human health.
Accordingly the APVMA has decided to cancel the chemical product registrations and associated label approvals in Attachment 3 as it is not satisfied that the label approvals could be varied in such a way as to allow affirmation of the registrations or approvals.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF 2,4-D REGISTERED PRODUCTS AND ASSOCIATED APPROVED LABELS IN ATTACHMENT 3
There are no instructions for the supply, possession, custody or use of the cancelled group 22b 2,4-D products listed in Attachment 3. The supply, possession, custody or use of those products is therefore prohibited from 30 September 2020.
Section 45B(2) of the Code ceases to apply in respect of the cancelled products and thereby brings the deemed permit under section 45B(1) of the Code to an end.
CONSEQUENCES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY
The consequences of failing to comply with the instructions in this are:
commission of an offence under section 45C(5) of the Code; and subject to civil penalty proceedings under section 45C(7) of the Code.

Resistance Warning: Resistant Weeds Warning
[INSERT PRODUCT NAME] herbicide is a member of the NITRIL and PHENOXY Group of herbicides. The product has the inhibitors of photosynthesis at photosystem II and disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action.
For weed resistance management [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] is a Group C and Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] and other Group C and I herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] or other Group C and I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, [INSERTCOMPANY NAME] accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] to control resistant weeds.

Mode of Action: GROUP G I HERBICIDE
Resistance Warning: Resistant Weeds Warning
[INSERT PRODUCT NAME] herbicide is a member of the phenylpyrazole and PHENOXY Groups of herbicides. The product has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action and of membrane disruption, which is initiated by the inhibition of the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase.
For weed resistance management [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] is a Group G and I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] and other Group G and I herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] or other Group G and I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, [INSERTCOMPANY NAME] accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of [INSERT PRODUCT NAME] to control resistant weeds.

In order to mitigate the human health hazards and risks associated with opening the container and preparing the product for use the following personal protective equipment would be required: protective waterproof clothing, elbow-length chemical resistant gloves, impervious footwear, goggles and half facepiece respirator with organic vapour/gas cartridge or canister. When using the product the following personal protective equipment would be required to mitigate the human health hazards and risks: cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves.
Due to concerns regarding effectiveness and compliance this level of personal protective equipment is not regarded as a reliable risk management approach for non-professional, home and garden product use. Accordingly the APVMA is proposing to cancel the registration of these products and to cancel the associated label approvals.
Accordingly label elements have not been provided.
