rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 182 / Wednesday, September 20, 2006 / Rules and Regulations
IX. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This final rule establishes an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance under section 408(d) of
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, entitled 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 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 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 FFDCA, such as
the exemption from the requirement of
a 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 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999). Executive Order 13132 requires
EPA to develop an accountable process
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
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
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.
X. Congressional Review Act
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
PO 00000

rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
29, 2006, FEMA issued a letter to the
Unincorporated Areas of Yuma County
and Cities of San Luis and Yuma, and
the Unincorporated Areas of Coconino
County, and City of Flagstaff, Arizona,
hereafter referred to as ‘‘listed
communities’’ finalizing the flood
elevation determinations. In addition,
the March 29, 2006 letter established a
September 29, 2006, effective date for
the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for
the listed communities. During the final
processing of the FIS and FIRM it was
determined that there are levee
structures within the listed counties that
are shown as providing protection
against the 1% annual chance flood
event. FEMA will only recognize those
levee systems that meet, and continue to
meet, minimum design, operation, and
maintenance standards. 44 CFR 65.10
describes the information needed to
recognize whether a levee system
provides protection from the base flood
event. The required information must be
supplied to FEMA by the community or
other party seeking recognition of the
levee system. To acquire FEMA’s
recognition that a levee system protects
an area against the base flood event, a
community or levee owner must supply
FEMA with such data as certification
and design criteria (including
information on freeboard, closures,
embankment protection, embankment
and foundation stability, settlement,
interior drainage, etc.), and operation
and maintenance plans.
Until the aforementioned levee
information is submitted to FEMA, the
final flood elevation published in 71 FR
33647, June 12, 2006 for the listed
communities is hereby withdrawn in
accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
42 U.S.C. 4104. Until further notice, the
release of the FIS and FIRM for the
listed communities has been postponed.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This rule is categorically excluded from
the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10,
Environmental Consideration. No
environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood
elevation determinations are not within
the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, a regulatory
flexibility analysis is not required.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 29, 2006, FEMA issued a letter to
the Unincorporated Areas of Yuma County and Cities of San Luis and
Yuma, and the Unincorporated Areas of Coconino County, and City of
Flagstaff, Arizona, hereafter referred to as ``listed communities''

29, 2006 letter established a September 29, 2006, effective date for
the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for
the listed communities. During the final processing of the FIS and FIRM
it was determined that there are levee structures within the listed
counties that are shown as providing protection against the 1% annual
chance flood event. FEMA will only recognize those levee systems that
meet, and continue to meet, minimum design, operation, and maintenance
standards. 44 CFR 65.10 describes the information needed to recognize
whether a levee system provides protection from the base flood event.

event, a community or levee owner must supply FEMA with such data as
certification and design criteria (including information on freeboard,
closures, embankment protection, embankment and foundation stability,
settlement, interior drainage, etc.), and operation and maintenance

Until the aforementioned levee information is submitted to FEMA,
the final flood elevation published in 71 FR 33647, June 12, 2006 for
the listed communities is hereby withdrawn in accordance with section
110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104. Until
