Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 3, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by August 3, 2009.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by
the Administrator of this final rule does
not affect the finality of this action for
the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review may be filed,
and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with
objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in
response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action
published in the proposed rules section
of today’s Federal Register, rather than
file an immediate petition for judicial
review of this direct final rule, so that
EPA can withdraw this direct final rule
and address the comment in the
proposed rulemaking. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (see section
307(b)(2)).

II. Background
What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs
(OPP) has developed a commodity
vocabulary database entitled Food and
Feed Commodity Vocabulary. The
database was developed to consolidate
all the major OPP commodity
In paragraph
vocabularies into one standardized
vocabulary. As a result, all future
pesticide tolerances issued under 40
CFR part 180 will use the ‘‘preferred
commodity term’’ as listed in the
aforementioned database. This is the
ninth in a series of documents revising
the terminology of commodity terms
listed under 40 CFR part 180. Eight final
rules, revising pesticide tolerance
nomenclature, have published in the
Federal Register: June 19, 2002 (67 FR
41802) (FRL–6835–2); June 21, 2002 (67
FR 42392) (FRL–7180–1); July 1, 2003
(68 FR 39428) (FRL–7308–9) and (68 FR
39435) (FRL–7316–9); December 13,
2006 (71 FR 74802) (FRL–8064–3);
September 18, 2007 (72 FR 53134)
(FRL–8126–5) corrected on October 31,
2007 (72 FR 61535) (FRL–8151–4); and
October 10, 2008, (73 FR 60151) (FRL–
8376–1). This revision process will
establish a uniform presentation of
existing commodity terms under 40 CFR
part 180.

III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This document makes technical
amendments to the Code of Federal
Regulations which have no substantive
impact on the underlying regulations,
and does not otherwise impose or
amend any requirements. As such, the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has determined that a technical
amendment is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ subject to review by
OMB 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 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 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–

and comment rulemaking requirements
under the Administrative Procedure Act
or any other statute unless the agency
certifies that the rule will not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities
include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental
organizations. After considering the
economic impacts of today’s rule on
small entities, I certify that this action
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. These technical amendments to
the Code of Federal Regulations have no
substantive impact on the underyling
regulations. These technical
amendments will not have any negative
economic impact on any entities,
including small entities. 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,

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 105 / Wednesday, June 3, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
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 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.

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2007–0312; FRL–8414–6]
Triflumizole; Pesticide Tolerances
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This regulation establishes
tolerances for combined residues of
triflumizole and its metabolites
containing the 4-chloro-2trifluoromethylaniline (FA-1-1) moiety,
calculated as the parent compound, in
or on leafy greens subgroup 4A, except
spinach; Brassica, head and stem,
subgroup 5A; Brassica, leafy greens,
subgroup 5B; cilantro leaves; Swiss
chard; pineapple; papaya; black sapote;
canistel; mamey sapote; mango;
sapodilla; star apple; hops, dried cones;
and turnip greens. Interregional
Research Project Number 4 (IR-4)
requested these tolerances under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA). This regulation also deletes
the following time-limited tolerances, as
permanent tolerances supersede them:
Collards, kale and mustard greens, as
residues on these commodities will be
covered by the Brassica, leafy greens,
subgroup 5B tolerance; broccoli, since
residues will be covered by the Brassica,
head and stem, subgroup 5A tolerance;
dandelion leaves and parsley leaves,
since residues will be covered by the
leafy greens subgroup 4A tolerance;
Swiss chard and turnip greens, as the
time-limited tolerances will be
superseded by permanent tolerances;
and coriander leaves, as the cilantro
leaves tolerance supersedes it and is the

II. Background
What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) has developed a commodity
vocabulary database entitled Food and Feed Commodity Vocabulary. The
database was developed to consolidate all the major OPP commodity
vocabularies into one standardized vocabulary. As a result, all future
pesticide tolerances issued under 40 CFR part 180 will use the
``preferred commodity term'' as listed in the aforementioned database.
This is the ninth in a series of documents revising the terminology of
commodity terms listed under 40 CFR part 180. Eight final rules,
revising pesticide tolerance nomenclature, have published in the
Federal Register: June 19, 2002 (67 FR 41802) (FRL-6835-2); June 21,
2002 (67 FR 42392) (FRL-7180-1); July 1, 2003 (68 FR 39428) (FRL-7308-
9) and (68 FR 39435) (FRL-7316-9); December 13, 2006 (71 FR 74802)
(FRL-8064-3); September 18, 2007 (72 FR 53134) (FRL-8126-5) corrected
on October 31, 2007 (72 FR 61535) (FRL-8151-4); and October 10, 2008,
(73 FR 60151) (FRL-8376-1). This revision process will establish a
uniform presentation of existing commodity terms under 40 CFR part 180.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This document makes technical amendments to the Code of Federal
Regulations which have no substantive impact on the underlying
regulations, and does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements.
As such, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined that
a technical amendment is not a ``significant regulatory action''
subject to review by OMB 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 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 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). The Regulatory Flexibility
Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) generally requires an agency to
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice
and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure
Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will
not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations,
and small governmental organizations. After considering the economic
impacts of today's rule on small entities, I certify that this action
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. These technical amendments to the Code of Federal
Regulations have no substantive impact on the underyling regulations.
These technical amendments will not have any negative economic impact
on any entities, including small entities. 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
[[Page 26533]]
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 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.
IV. 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
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 the rule in the Federal Register.
This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
