Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 30, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
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 final rule
has been exempted from review under
Executive Order 12866, this final 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) or Executive Order 13045,
entitled Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997).
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., 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).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under section 408(d) of 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.
This final rule directly regulates
growers, food processors, food handlers,
and food retailers, not States or tribes,
nor does this action alter the
relationships or distribution of power
and responsibilities established by
Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such,
the Agency has determined that this
action will not have a substantial direct
effect on States or tribal governments,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States or tribal
governments, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian
tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined
that Executive Order 13132, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999) and Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply
to this final rule. In addition, this final
rule does not 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).
This action does not involve any
technical standards that would require
Agency consideration of voluntary
consensus standards pursuant to section

The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report 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

II. Petition for Tolerance
In the Federal Register of June 13,
2008 (73 FR 33814) (FRL–8367–3), EPA
issued a notice pursuant to section
408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a
pesticide petition (PP 6F7105) by BASF
Corporation, 26 Davis Dr., Research
Triangle Park, NC 27709. The petition
requested that 40 CFR 180.582 be
amended by establishing tolerances for
combined residues of the fungicide
pyraclostrobin; carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700

chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl
ester and its desmethoxy metabolite;
(methyl-N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1Hpyrazol-3yl]oxy]methyl]phenylcarbamate,
expressed as parent compound, in or on
borage; castor oil plant; chinese
tallowtree; crambe; cuphea; echium;
euphorbia; evening primrose; flax seed;
gold of pleasure; hare’s ear mustard;
jojoba; lesquerella; lunaria;
meadowfoam; milkweed; mustard seed;
niger seed; oil radish; poppy seed;
rapeseed; rose hip; safflower; sesame;
stokes aster; sunflower; sweet rocket;
tallowwood; tea oil plant; and vernonia;
each at 0.45 parts per million (ppm).
That notice referenced a summary of the
petition prepared by BASF Corporation,
the registrant, which is available to the
public in the docket, https://
www.regulations.gov. There were no
comments received in response to the
notice of filing.
No changes were made to the
proposed tolerance levels; however,
EPA modified the proposed commodity
terms slightly (e.g., changing ‘‘borage’’
to ‘‘borage, seed’’, ‘‘cuphea’’ to ‘‘cuphea,
seed’’, etc.) to conform to current
nomenclature recommendations.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and
Determination of Safety
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. . . .’’
Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D)
of FFDCA, and the factors specified in
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 for the petitioned-for

rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
44166
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 30, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
tolerances for combined residues of
pyraclostrobin and its desmethoxy
metabolite on borage, seed; castor oil
plant, seed; chinese tallowtree, seed;
crambe, seed; cuphea, seed; echium,
seed; euphorbia, seed; evening
primrose, seed; flax, seed; gold of
pleasure, seed; hare’s ear mustard, seed;
jojoba, seed; lesquerella, seed; lunaria,
seed; meadowfoam, seed; milkweed,
seed; mustard, seed; niger seed, seed; oil
radish, seed; poppy, seed; rapeseed,
seed; rose hip, seed; safflower, seed;
sesame, seed; stokes aster, seed;
sunflower, seed; sweet rocket, seed;
tallowwood, seed; tea oil plant, seed;
and vernonia, seed; each at 0.45 ppm.
EPA’s assessment of exposures and risks
associated with establishing tolerances
follows.
On March 24, 2008 the Agency
published a Final Rule (73 FR 15425,
FRL–8355–4) establishing tolerances for
residues of pyraclostrobin and its
desmethoxy metabolite in or on avocado
at 0.6 ppm; barley, grain at 1.4 ppm;
canistel at 0.6 ppm; mango at 0.6 ppm;
oat, grain at 1.2 ppm; oat, hay at 18
ppm; oat, straw at 15 ppm; papaya at 0.6
ppm; sapodilla at 0.6 ppm; sapote, black
at 0.6 ppm; sapote, mamey at 0.6 ppm;
and star apple at 0.6 ppm. When the
Agency conducted the risk assessments
in support of this tolerance action it
assumed that pyraclostrobin residues
would be present on all of the oilseed
commodities requested in this petition
as well as on all foods covered by the
proposed and established tolerances.
Residues on oilseeds were included
because there was a pending petition for
pyraclostrobin tolerances on oilseed
commodities at the time. The decision
to establish tolerances on oilseed
commodities was deferred until now
because the original notice of filing of
this petition contained errors requiring
revision and re-publication in the
Federal Register. Since the oilseed
commodities were included in the
previous risk assessments, establishing
the oilseed commodity tolerances will
not change the most recent estimated
aggregate risks resulting from use of
pyraclostrobin, as discussed in the
March 24, 2008 Federal Register. Refer
to the March 24, 2008 Federal Register
document, available at https://
www.regulations.gov, for a detailed
discussion of the aggregate risk
assessments and determination of
safety. EPA relies upon those risk
assessments and the findings made in
the Federal Register document in
support of this action.
Based on the risk assessments
discussed in the final rule published in
the Federal Register of March 24, 2008
(73 FR 15425, FRL–8355–4), EPA
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:51 Jul 29, 2008
Jkt 214001
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
pyraclostrobin residues.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
Adequate enforcement methods (an
Liquid chromatography/mass/
spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method
(BASF Method D9808), and an high
performance liquid chromatography/
ultraviolet (HPLC/UV) method (BASF
Method D9904)) are available to enforce
the tolerance expression. The methods
may be requested from: Chief,
Analytical Chemistry Branch,
Environmental Science Center, 701
Mapes Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755–5350;
telephone number: (410) 305–2905; email address: residuemethods@epa.gov.
B. International Residue Limits
No CODEX, Canadian or Mexican
maximum residue limits (MRLs) have
been established for residues of
pyraclostrobin on the oilseed
commodities associated with this
petition.
V. Conclusion
Therefore, tolerances are established
for combined residues of pyraclostrobin
carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)1H-pyrazol-3yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl
ester and its desmethoxy metabolite;
methyl-N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1Hpyrazol-3yl]oxy]methyl]phenylcarbamate,
expressed as parent compound, in or on
borage, seed; castor oil plant, seed;
chinese tallowtree, seed; crambe, seed;
cuphea, seed; echium, seed; euphorbia,
seed; evening primrose, seed; flax, seed;
gold of pleasure, seed; hare’s ear
mustard, seed; jojoba, seed; lesquerella,
seed; lunaria, seed; meadowfoam, seed;
milkweed, seed; mustard, seed; niger
seed, seed; oil radish, seed; poppy, seed;
rapeseed, seed; rose hip, seed; safflower,
seed; sesame, seed; stokes aster, seed;
sweet rocket, seed; tallowwood, seed;
tea oil plant, seed; and vernonia, seed;
each at 0.45 ppm. The existing tolerance
for combined residues of pyraclostrobin
and its desmethoxy metabolite on
sunflower at 0.3 ppm is revised to read
‘‘sunflower, seed’’ at 0.45 ppm.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This final rule establishes tolerances
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
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Order 12866, entitled Regulatory
Planning and Review (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993). Because this final rule
has been exempted from review under
Executive Order 12866, this final 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) or Executive Order 13045,
entitled Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997).
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., 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).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under section 408(d) of 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.
This final rule directly regulates
growers, food processors, food handlers,
and food retailers, not States or tribes,
nor does this action alter the
relationships or distribution of power
and responsibilities established by
Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such,
the Agency has determined that this
action will not have a substantial direct
effect on States or tribal governments,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States or tribal
governments, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian
tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined
that Executive Order 13132, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999) and Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply
to this final rule. In addition, this final
rule does not 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).
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

Virginia: Final Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
SUMMARY: Virginia applied to EPA for
final authorization of revisions to its
hazardous waste program under
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). EPA has reached a final
determination that these changes to the
Virginia hazardous waste program
satisfy all requirements necessary for
final authorization. Thus, with respect
to these revisions, EPA is granting final
authorization to the Commonwealth to
operate its program subject to the
limitations on its authority retained by
EPA in accordance with RCRA.
DATES: Final authorization for the
revisions to Virginia’s hazardous waste
management program shall be effective
on July 30, 2008.

A. Why Are Revisions to State
Programs Necessary?
States that have received final
authorization from EPA under RCRA
section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must
maintain a hazardous waste program
that is equivalent to, consistent with,
and no less stringent than the Federal
program. As the Federal program is
revised, States must revise their
programs and ask EPA to authorize the
revisions. Revisions to State programs
may be necessary when Federal or State
statutory or regulatory authority is
modified or when certain other changes
occur. Most commonly, States must
revise their programs because of
revisions to EPA’s regulations in 40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts
124, 260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and
279.
On October 10, 2007, Virginia
submitted to EPA a complete program
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:51 Jul 29, 2008
Jkt 214001
revision application, in accordance with
40 CFR 271.21, seeking authorization of
additional changes to its program. On
April 3, 2008, EPA published both an
immediate final rule (73 FR 18172–
18176) granting Virginia final
authorization for these revisions to its
federally-authorized hazardous waste
program, along with a companion
proposed rule announcing EPA’s
proposal to grant such final
authorization (73 FR 18229–18230).
EPA announced in both notices that the
immediate final rule and the proposed
rule were subject to a thirty-day public
comment period. The public comment
period ended on May 5, 2008. Further,
EPA stated in both notices that if it
received adverse comments on its intent
to authorize Virginia’s program
revisions that it would (1) withdraw the
immediate final rule; (2) proceed with
the proposed rule as the basis for the
receipt and evaluation of such
comments, and (3) subsequently publish
a final determination responding to
such comments and announce its final
decision whether or not to authorize
Virginia’s program revisions. EPA did
receive a written comment during the
public comment period and on June 3,
2008, published a notice withdrawing
the immediate final rule (73 FR 31634).
Today’s action responds to the
comments EPA received and publishes
EPA’s final determination granting
Virginia final authorization of its
program revisions. Further background
on EPA’s immediate final rule and its
tentative determination to grant
authorization to Virginia for its program
revisions appears in the aforementioned
Federal Register notices. The issues
raised by the commenter are
summarized and responded to as
follows.
B. What Were the Comments and
Responses to EPA’s Proposal?
EPA received two comments from an
individual opposing EPA’s proposal to
authorize revisions to Virginia’s
hazardous waste regulations. The
commenter opposed authorization of the
regulations that adopted the rules that
were promulgated under non-HSWA
authority, including the RCRA Burden
Reduction Initiative (Revision Checklist
213).1 The commenter argued that,
through RCRA, Congress has barred EPA
and authorized states from promulgating
regulations that are less stringent than
the regulations that were first
1 The commenter incorrectly stated that the entire
RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative was
promulgated pursuant to non-HSWA authority. In
fact, the RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative was
promulgated pursuant to both HSWA and nonHSWA statutory authority.
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
promulgated under the authority of
RCRA. Specifically, the commenter
stated that 42 U.S.C. 6929 would
prevent EPA from amending 40 CFR
268.7(b)(6) to eliminate the requirement
to submit notifications and certifications
to EPA; this amendment, argued the
commenter, prohibits states from
requiring that the State be provided
with copies of hazardous waste
manifests, and such prohibition is not
allowed by 42 U.S.C. 6929. For the
reasons set forth below, we do not agree
with the commenter.
EPA promulgated all of the rules
included in Virginia’s revision pursuant
to the authority granted to EPA by
Congress under RCRA. Those rules,
including the RCRA Burden Reduction
Initiative Rule, were finalized after full
consideration of any and all comments
submitted in a timely manner. By
adopting the rules promulgated by EPA,
Virginia revised its hazardous waste
program to be equivalent to and
consistent with the federal program.
Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), EPA has
the authority to authorize state programs
that are equivalent to and consistent
with the federal program. Additionally,
as is explained in more detail in the
RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative Final
Rule (71 FR 16862), EPA’s amendment
of 40 CFR 268.7(b)(6) does not prohibit
any state from requiring that the state be
provided with copies of hazardous
waste manifests. States are not required
to adopt and seek authorization for
federal requirements that are equivalent
to, or less stringent than, the state’s
currently authorized regulations (see 71
FR at 16899). Specifically, although
several states had commented positively
regarding the amendment to 40 CFR
268.7(b)(6), EPA explained that any
state ‘‘may choose to be more stringent
than the federal program, and choose to
retain these notifications.’’ (71 FR at
16889)
The commenter also stated that some
of the Revision Checklists for the nine
RCRA clusters for which Virginia is
seeking authorization ‘‘erroneously
suggest that the Attorney General may
not need to conduct a detailed review of
the proposed rules against state statute
for authority prior to final
authorization.’’ As a result, the
commenter expressed concern ‘‘that
there may not have been an in-depth
Attorney General review as required’’ by
40 CFR 271.7. EPA responds to this
comment as follows.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 271.21(b)(1), in
order to revise its program, a state must
submit ‘‘such * * * documents as EPA
determines to be necessary under the
circumstances.’’ These documents may
include a modified Attorney General’s

II. Petition for Tolerance
In the Federal Register of June 13, 2008 (73 FR 33814) (FRL-8367-
3), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP
6F7105) by BASF Corporation, 26 Davis Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC
27709. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.582 be amended by
establishing tolerances for combined residues of the fungicide
pyraclostrobin; carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester and its desmethoxy
metabolite; (methyl-N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenylcarbamate, expressed as parent compound, in or on
borage; castor oil plant; chinese tallowtree; crambe; cuphea; echium;
euphorbia; evening primrose; flax seed; gold of pleasure; hare's ear
mustard; jojoba; lesquerella; lunaria; meadowfoam; milkweed; mustard
seed; niger seed; oil radish; poppy seed; rapeseed; rose hip;
safflower; sesame; stokes aster; sunflower; sweet rocket; tallowwood;
tea oil plant; and vernonia; each at 0.45 parts per million (ppm). That
notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared by BASF
Corporation, the registrant, which is available to the public in the
docket, https://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in
response to the notice of filing.
No changes were made to the proposed tolerance levels; however, EPA
modified the proposed commodity terms slightly (e.g., changing
``borage'' to ``borage, seed'', ``cuphea'' to ``cuphea, seed'', etc.)
to conform to current nomenclature recommendations.
III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety
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. . .
.''
Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors
specified in 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 for the petitioned-for
[[Page 44166]]
tolerances for combined residues of pyraclostrobin and its desmethoxy
metabolite on borage, seed; castor oil plant, seed; chinese tallowtree,
seed; crambe, seed; cuphea, seed; echium, seed; euphorbia, seed;
evening primrose, seed; flax, seed; gold of pleasure, seed; hare's ear
mustard, seed; jojoba, seed; lesquerella, seed; lunaria, seed;
meadowfoam, seed; milkweed, seed; mustard, seed; niger seed, seed; oil
radish, seed; poppy, seed; rapeseed, seed; rose hip, seed; safflower,
seed; sesame, seed; stokes aster, seed; sunflower, seed; sweet rocket,
seed; tallowwood, seed; tea oil plant, seed; and vernonia, seed; each
at 0.45 ppm. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with
establishing tolerances follows.
On March 24, 2008 the Agency published a Final Rule (73 FR 15425,
FRL-8355-4) establishing tolerances for residues of pyraclostrobin and
its desmethoxy metabolite in or on avocado at 0.6 ppm; barley, grain at
1.4 ppm; canistel at 0.6 ppm; mango at 0.6 ppm; oat, grain at 1.2 ppm;
oat, hay at 18 ppm; oat, straw at 15 ppm; papaya at 0.6 ppm; sapodilla
at 0.6 ppm; sapote, black at 0.6 ppm; sapote, mamey at 0.6 ppm; and
star apple at 0.6 ppm. When the Agency conducted the risk assessments
in support of this tolerance action it assumed that pyraclostrobin
residues would be present on all of the oilseed commodities requested
in this petition as well as on all foods covered by the proposed and
established tolerances. Residues on oilseeds were included because
there was a pending petition for pyraclostrobin tolerances on oilseed
commodities at the time. The decision to establish tolerances on
oilseed commodities was deferred until now because the original notice
of filing of this petition contained errors requiring revision and re-
publication in the Federal Register. Since the oilseed commodities were
included in the previous risk assessments, establishing the oilseed
commodity tolerances will not change the most recent estimated
aggregate risks resulting from use of pyraclostrobin, as discussed in
the March 24, 2008 Federal Register. Refer to the March 24, 2008
Federal Register document, available at https://www.regulations.gov, for
a detailed discussion of the aggregate risk assessments and
determination of safety. EPA relies upon those risk assessments and the
findings made in the Federal Register document in support of this
action.
Based on the risk assessments discussed in the final rule published
in the Federal Register of March 24, 2008 (73 FR 15425, FRL-8355-4),
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 pyraclostrobin residues.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
Adequate enforcement methods (an Liquid chromatography/mass/
spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method (BASF Method D9808), and an high
performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet (HPLC/UV) method (BASF
Method D9904)) are available to enforce the tolerance expression. The
methods 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:
residuemethods@epa.gov.
B. International Residue Limits
No CODEX, Canadian or Mexican maximum residue limits (MRLs) have
been established for residues of pyraclostrobin on the oilseed
commodities associated with this petition.
V. Conclusion
Therefore, tolerances are established for combined residues of
pyraclostrobin carbamic acid, [2-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenyl]methoxy-, methyl ester and its desmethoxy
metabolite; methyl-N-[[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-
yl]oxy]methyl]phenylcarbamate, expressed as parent compound, in or on
borage, seed; castor oil plant, seed; chinese tallowtree, seed; crambe,
seed; cuphea, seed; echium, seed; euphorbia, seed; evening primrose,
seed; flax, seed; gold of pleasure, seed; hare's ear mustard, seed;
jojoba, seed; lesquerella, seed; lunaria, seed; meadowfoam, seed;
milkweed, seed; mustard, seed; niger seed, seed; oil radish, seed;
poppy, seed; rapeseed, seed; rose hip, seed; safflower, seed; sesame,
seed; stokes aster, seed; sweet rocket, seed; tallowwood, seed; tea oil
plant, seed; and vernonia, seed; each at 0.45 ppm. The existing
tolerance for combined residues of pyraclostrobin and its desmethoxy
metabolite on sunflower at 0.3 ppm is revised to read ``sunflower,
seed'' at 0.45 ppm.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule establishes tolerances 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 final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final 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) or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of
Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997). 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., 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).
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of 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.
This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not 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).
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
[[Page 44167]]
(NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
VII. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report 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).
