II. Background
A. What action is the agency taking?
In the Federal Register of July 28,
2010 (75 FR 44184) (FRL–8834–1), EPA
issued a proposal to revise tolerance
expressions for a number of pesticide
active ingredients, including the
insecticides chlorethoxyfos,
clofentezine, cyromazine, etofenprox,
fenbutatin-oxide, fosthiazate,
propetamphos, and tebufenozide, the
fungicides aluminum tris (O-
VerDate Mar<15>2010

ethylphosphonate) and fenarimol; the
herbicides butylate, clethodim,
clomazone, fenoxaprop-ethyl,
flumetsulam, flumiclorac pentyl,
fluridone, fomesafen, glufosinate
ammonium, lactofen, propyzamide,
quinclorac, and pyridate; and the
fungicide/bactericide oxytetracycline.
Also, EPA proposed to revoke the
tolerances for aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate) on pineapple fodder
and forage because they are not
considered to be significant livestock
feed items, and revise specific tolerance
nomenclatures for aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate), clethodim,
flumetsulam, and fluridone. In addition,
EPA announced that the Agency would
remove several expired tolerances for
aluminum tris(O-ethylphosphonate),
etofenprox, propyzamide, and
tebufenozide. Also, the proposal of July
28, 2010 provided a 60-day comment
period which invited public comment
for consideration and for support of
tolerance retention under FFDCA
standards.
Since the proposal of July 28, 2010
(75 FR 44184), which included
proposals to revise the tolerance
expressions for fenarimol and fomesafen
among other actions concerning
multiple active ingredients, the
introductory texts containing the
tolerance expressions for fenarimol in
40 CFR 180.421(a) and fomesafen in 40
CFR 180.433(a) wererevised to describe
measurement and coverage of the
tolerances in the Federal Register of
September 17, 2010 (75 FR 56892)
(FRL–8844–6), and March 9, 2011 (76
FR 12877) (FRL–8858–5), respectively.
Consequently, because no further
actions on fenarimol and fomesafen are
needed, none is taken herein.
In this final rule, EPA is revising
tolerance expressions for aluminum tris
(O-ethylphosphonate), butylate,
chlorethoxyfos, clethodim, clofentezine,
clomazone, cyromazine, etofenprox,
fenbutatin-oxide, fenoxaprop-ethyl,
flumetsulam, flumiclorac pentyl,
fluridone, fosthiazate, glufosinate
ammonium, lactofen, oxytetracycline,
propetamphos, propyzamide, pyridate,
quinclorac, and tebufenozide. The
revisions are in accordance with current
Agency practice to describe more clearly
the measurement and scope or coverage
of tolerances, including applicable
metabolites and degradates. The
revisions do not substantively change
the tolerance or, in any way, modify the
permissible level of residues permitted
by the tolerance. Also, EPA is revoking
the tolerances for aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate) on pineapple fodder
and forage because they are not
considered to be significant livestock
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
23491
feed items, and therefore the tolerances
are no longer needed. In addition, EPA
is revising specific tolerance
nomenclatures for aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate), clethodim,
flumetsulam, and fluridone. Also, EPA
is removing several expired tolerances
for aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate), etofenprox,
propyzamide, and tebufenozide.
In response to the proposal published
in the Federal Register of July 28, 2010
(75 FR 44184), EPA received no
comments during the 60-day public
comment period. Therefore, with the
exception of fenarimol, EPA is finalizing
the amendments proposed concerning
these pesticide active ingredients in the
Federal Register of July 28, 2010 (75 FR
44184). For a detailed discussion of the
Agency’s rationale for the revocation of
tolerances, revision of tolerance
expressions and tolerance
nomenclatures, refer to the proposed
rule of July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44184).
In addition, the Agency is making the
following revisions in this final rule
relating to chemical nomenclature to
more accurately describe the substances
at issue. None of the revisions changes
which chemicals are subject to the
tolerance expression in which they are
contained. Also, because the Agency
published a final rule in the Federal
Register on December 8, 2010 (75 FR
76284) (FRL–8853–8) that resulted in 40
CFR 180.1 being changed so that a crossreference, which deals with regional
registrations in paragraph (c), was
redesignated from § 180.1(m) to
§ 180.1(l), the Agency is making the
following revisions in this final rule
relating to cross-referencing § 180.1(l) in
multiple sections for paragraph (c).
Although these changes were not
included in the proposed rule, under
section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act EPA finds
there is good cause to include these
changes in the final rule without further
notice and comment because the
changes have no practical impact on the
use of or exposure to the chemicals.
1. Clomazone. The Agency
inadvertently omitted two brackets in
the chemical nomenclature for
clomazone. Consequently, EPA is
revising the nomenclature for
clomazone in 40 CFR 180.425(a) from
‘‘2-(2-chlorophenyl)methyl-4,4dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone’’ to ‘‘2-[(2chlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-3isoxazolidinone.’’
2. Glufosinate ammonium. The
Agency did not propose to revise the
chemical nomenclature for the
metabolites of glufosinate to be more
consistent with the nomenclature for the
parent compound. Consequently, EPA is
E:\FR\FM\27APR1.SGM
27APR1
23492
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 27, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
revising the nomenclature for the
metabolites of glufosinate to be more
consistent with the parent compound in
40 CFR 180.473(a) from ‘‘2-acetamido-4methylphosphinicobutanoic acid’’ to ‘‘2(acetylamino)-4(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butanoic
acid’’ and ‘‘3methylphosphinicopropionic acid’’ to
‘‘3(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)propionic
acid;’’ and in 40 CFR 180.473(d) from ‘‘3methylphosphinicopropionic acid’’ to
‘‘3(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)propionic
acid.’’ This change is being made so that
the nomenclatures of the parent
ingredient and its metabolites will be
consistent.
3. Aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate), fenbutatin-oxide,
lactofen, and propyzamide. The Agency
did not propose to cross-reference 40
CFR 180.1(l) in paragraph (c) for
aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate),
fenbutatin-oxide, lactofen, and
propyzamide. Consequently, EPA is
revising 40 CFR 180.415(c), 180.362(c),
180.432(c), and 180.317(c), by crossreferencing 40 CFR 180.1(l), to be more
consistent with the final rule of
December 8, 2010 (75 FR 76284) (FRL–
8853–8).

B. What is the Agency’s authority for
taking this action?
EPA may issue a regulation
establishing, modifying, or revoking
tolerances under FFDCA section 408(e).
C. When do these actions become
effective?
These actions, revisions of specific
tolerance expressions, revocation of the
tolerances for aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate) on pineapple fodder
and forage, and revision of specific
commodity terminologies (tolerance
nomenclatures) become effective on the
date of publication of this final rule in
the Federal Register.
Any commodities listed in the
regulatory text of this document that are
treated with the pesticides subject to
this final rule, and that are in the
channels of trade following the
tolerance revocations, shall be subject to
FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established
by FQPA. Under this unit, any residues
of these pesticides in or on such food
shall not render the food adulterated so
long as it is shown to the satisfaction of
the Food and Drug Administration that:
1. The residue is present as the result
of an application or use of the pesticide
at a time and in a manner that was
lawful under FIFRA.
2. The residue does not exceed the
level that was authorized at the time of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:29 Apr 26, 2011
Jkt 223001
the application or use to be present on
the food under a tolerance or exemption
from tolerance. Evidence to show that
food was lawfully treated may include
records that verify the dates that the
pesticide was applied to such food.
III. International Residue Limits
In making its tolerance decisions, EPA
seeks to harmonize U.S. tolerances with
international standards whenever
possible, consistent with U.S. food
safety standards and agricultural
practices. EPA considers the
international maximum residue limits
(MRLs) established by the Codex
Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as
required by FFDCA section 408(b)(4).
The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N.
Food and Agriculture Organization/
World Health Organization food
standards program, and it is recognized
as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade
agreements to which the United States
is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance
that is different from a Codex MRL;
however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4)
requires that EPA explain the reasons
for departing from the Codex level.
The Codex has not established a MRL
for aluminum tris (Oethylphosphonate), butylate,
chlorethoxyfos, clomazone, fenoxapropethyl, flumetsulam, flumiclorac pentyl,
fluridone, fosthiazate, lactofen,
oxytetracycline (pesticide use),
propetamphos, propyzamide, pyridate,
and quinclorac, or MRL on rice grain for
etofenprox.
The Codex has established MRLs for
clethodim in or on various
commodities, some of which are
different than the tolerances established
for clethodim in the United States.
However, the changes made herein in
the U.S. tolerance expression for
clethodim harmonizes U.S. tolerances
with certain Codex MRLs for clethodim.
For a detailed discussion, refer to the
proposed rule of July 28, 2010 (75 FR
44184).
The Codex has established MRLs for
clofentezine, cyromazine, fenbutatinoxide, glufosinate ammonium, and
tebufenozide in or on various
commodities. Some MRLs are different
than the tolerances established for
clofentezine, cyromazine, fenbutatinoxide, glufosinate ammonium, and
tebufenozide in the United States. For a
detailed discussion, refer to the
proposed rule of July 28, 2010 (75 FR
44184).
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
In this final rule, EPA revises
tolerance expressions and revokes
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
specific tolerances established under
FFDCA section 408. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has
exempted these types of actions (i.e.,
tolerance actions for which
extraordinary circumstances do not
exist) 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) (Pub. L.
104–4). Nor does it require any special
considerations as required by 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 other
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 104–13, section
12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Pursuant to
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency
previously assessed whether
establishment of tolerances, exemptions
from tolerances, raising of tolerance
levels, expansion of exemptions, or
revocations might significantly impact a
substantial number of small entities and
concluded that, as a general matter,
these actions do not impose a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. These analyses
for tolerance establishments and
modifications, and for tolerance
revocations were published on May 4,
1981 (46 FR 24950) and on December
17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL–5753–1),
respectively, and were provided to the
Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small
Business Administration. Taking into
account this analysis, and available
information concerning the pesticides
listed in this final rule, the Agency
E:\FR\FM\27APR1.SGM
27APR1
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 81 / Wednesday, April 27, 2011 / Rules and Regulations
hereby certifies that this final rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small
entities. In a memorandum dated May
25, 2001, EPA determined that eight
conditions must all be satisfied in order
for an import tolerance or tolerance
exemption revocation to adversely affect
a significant number of small entity
importers, and that there is a negligible
joint probability of all eight conditions
holding simultaneously with respect to
any particular revocation. (This Agency
document is available in the docket of
the proposed rule). Furthermore, for the
pesticides named in this final rule, the
Agency knows of no extraordinary
circumstances that exist as to the
present revocations that would change
EPA’s previous analysis. 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
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 9, 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:29 Apr 26, 2011
Jkt 223001
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.
V. 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).

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with current Agency practice to describe more
clearly the measurement and scope or coverage of the tolerances, EPA is
making minor revisions to tolerance expressions for a number of
pesticide active ingredients, including the insecticides
chlorethoxyfos, clofentezine, cyromazine, etofenprox, fenbutatin-oxide,
fosthiazate, propetamphos, and tebufenozide; the fungicide aluminum
tris (O-ethylphosphonate); the herbicides butylate, clethodim,
clomazone, fenoxaprop-ethyl, flumetsulam, flumiclorac pentyl,
fluridone, glufosinate ammonium, lactofen, propyzamide, quinclorac, and
pyridate; and the fungicide/bactericide oxytetracycline. Also, EPA is
revoking the tolerances for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate) on
pineapple fodder and forage because they are not considered to be
significant livestock feed items, and revising specific tolerance
nomenclatures for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate), clethodim,
flumetsulam, and fluridone. In addition, EPA is removing several
expired tolerances for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate), etofenprox,
propyzamide, and tebufenozide.

II. Background
A. What action is the agency taking?
In the Federal Register of July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44184) (FRL-8834-
1), EPA issued a proposal to revise tolerance expressions for a number
of pesticide active ingredients, including the insecticides
chlorethoxyfos, clofentezine, cyromazine, etofenprox, fenbutatin-oxide,
fosthiazate, propetamphos, and tebufenozide, the fungicides aluminum
tris (O-ethylphosphonate) and fenarimol; the herbicides butylate,
clethodim, clomazone, fenoxaprop-ethyl, flumetsulam, flumiclorac
pentyl, fluridone, fomesafen, glufosinate ammonium, lactofen,
propyzamide, quinclorac, and pyridate; and the fungicide/bactericide
oxytetracycline. Also, EPA proposed to revoke the tolerances for
aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate) on pineapple fodder and forage
because they are not considered to be significant livestock feed items,
and revise specific tolerance nomenclatures for aluminum tris (O-
ethylphosphonate), clethodim, flumetsulam, and fluridone. In addition,
EPA announced that the Agency would remove several expired tolerances
for aluminum tris(O-ethylphosphonate), etofenprox, propyzamide, and
tebufenozide. Also, the proposal of July 28, 2010 provided a 60-day
comment period which invited public comment for consideration and for
support of tolerance retention under FFDCA standards.
Since the proposal of July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44184), which included
proposals to revise the tolerance expressions for fenarimol and
fomesafen among other actions concerning multiple active ingredients,
the introductory texts containing the tolerance expressions for
fenarimol in 40 CFR 180.421(a) and fomesafen in 40 CFR 180.433(a)
wererevised to describe measurement and coverage of the tolerances in
the Federal Register of September 17, 2010 (75 FR 56892) (FRL-8844-6),
and March 9, 2011 (76 FR 12877) (FRL-8858-5), respectively.
Consequently, because no further actions on fenarimol and fomesafen are
needed, none is taken herein.
In this final rule, EPA is revising tolerance expressions for
aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate), butylate, chlorethoxyfos,
clethodim, clofentezine, clomazone, cyromazine, etofenprox, fenbutatin-
oxide, fenoxaprop-ethyl, flumetsulam, flumiclorac pentyl, fluridone,
fosthiazate, glufosinate ammonium, lactofen, oxytetracycline,
propetamphos, propyzamide, pyridate, quinclorac, and tebufenozide. The
revisions are in accordance with current Agency practice to describe
more clearly the measurement and scope or coverage of tolerances,
including applicable metabolites and degradates. The revisions do not
substantively change the tolerance or, in any way, modify the
permissible level of residues permitted by the tolerance. Also, EPA is
revoking the tolerances for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate) on
pineapple fodder and forage because they are not considered to be
significant livestock feed items, and therefore the tolerances are no
longer needed. In addition, EPA is revising specific tolerance
nomenclatures for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate), clethodim,
flumetsulam, and fluridone. Also, EPA is removing several expired
tolerances for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate), etofenprox,
propyzamide, and tebufenozide.
In response to the proposal published in the Federal Register of
July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44184), EPA received no comments during the 60-day
public comment period. Therefore, with the exception of fenarimol, EPA
is finalizing the amendments proposed concerning these pesticide active
ingredients in the Federal Register of July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44184). For
a detailed discussion of the Agency's rationale for the revocation of
tolerances, revision of tolerance expressions and tolerance
nomenclatures, refer to the proposed rule of July 28, 2010 (75 FR
44184).
In addition, the Agency is making the following revisions in this
final rule relating to chemical nomenclature to more accurately
describe the substances at issue. None of the revisions changes which
chemicals are subject to the tolerance expression in which they are
contained. Also, because the Agency published a final rule in the
Federal Register on December 8, 2010 (75 FR 76284) (FRL-8853-8) that
resulted in 40 CFR 180.1 being changed so that a cross-reference, which
deals with regional registrations in paragraph (c), was redesignated
from Sec. 180.1(m) to Sec. 180.1(l), the Agency is making the
following revisions in this final rule relating to cross-referencing
Sec. 180.1(l) in multiple sections for paragraph (c). Although these
changes were not included in the proposed rule, under section
553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act EPA finds there is
good cause to include these changes in the final rule without further
notice and comment because the changes have no practical impact on the
use of or exposure to the chemicals.
1. Clomazone. The Agency inadvertently omitted two brackets in the
chemical nomenclature for clomazone. Consequently, EPA is revising the
nomenclature for clomazone in 40 CFR 180.425(a) from ``2-(2-
chlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone'' to ``2-[(2-
chlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone.''
2. Glufosinate ammonium. The Agency did not propose to revise the
chemical nomenclature for the metabolites of glufosinate to be more
consistent with the nomenclature for the parent compound. Consequently,
EPA is
[[Page 23492]]
revising the nomenclature for the metabolites of glufosinate to be more
consistent with the parent compound in 40 CFR 180.473(a) from ``2-
acetamido-4-methylphosphinicobutanoic acid'' to ``2-(acetylamino)-4-
(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butanoic acid'' and ``3-
methylphosphinicopropionic acid'' to ``3-
(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)propionic acid;'' and in 40 CFR 180.473(d)
from ``3-methylphosphinicopropionic acid'' to ``3-
(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)propionic acid.'' This change is being made so
that the nomenclatures of the parent ingredient and its metabolites
will be consistent.
3. Aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate), fenbutatin-oxide, lactofen,
and propyzamide. The Agency did not propose to cross-reference 40 CFR
180.1(l) in paragraph (c) for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate),
fenbutatin-oxide, lactofen, and propyzamide. Consequently, EPA is
revising 40 CFR 180.415(c), 180.362(c), 180.432(c), and 180.317(c), by
cross-referencing 40 CFR 180.1(l), to be more consistent with the final
rule of December 8, 2010 (75 FR 76284) (FRL-8853-8).
B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?
EPA may issue a regulation establishing, modifying, or revoking
tolerances under FFDCA section 408(e).
C. When do these actions become effective?
These actions, revisions of specific tolerance expressions,
revocation of the tolerances for aluminum tris (O-ethylphosphonate) on
pineapple fodder and forage, and revision of specific commodity
terminologies (tolerance nomenclatures) become effective on the date of
publication of this final rule in the Federal Register.
Any commodities listed in the regulatory text of this document that
are treated with the pesticides subject to this final rule, and that
are in the channels of trade following the tolerance revocations, shall
be subject to FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established by FQPA. Under
this unit, any residues of these pesticides in or on such food shall
not render the food adulterated so long as it is shown to the
satisfaction of the Food and Drug Administration that:
1. The residue is present as the result of an application or use of
the pesticide at a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA.
2. The residue does not exceed the level that was authorized at the
time of the application or use to be present on the food under a
tolerance or exemption from tolerance. Evidence to show that food was
lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates that the
pesticide was applied to such food.
III. International Residue Limits
In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards
program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
The Codex has not established a MRL for aluminum tris (O-
ethylphosphonate), butylate, chlorethoxyfos, clomazone, fenoxaprop-
ethyl, flumetsulam, flumiclorac pentyl, fluridone, fosthiazate,
lactofen, oxytetracycline (pesticide use), propetamphos, propyzamide,
pyridate, and quinclorac, or MRL on rice grain for etofenprox.
The Codex has established MRLs for clethodim in or on various
commodities, some of which are different than the tolerances
established for clethodim in the United States. However, the changes
made herein in the U.S. tolerance expression for clethodim harmonizes
U.S. tolerances with certain Codex MRLs for clethodim. For a detailed
discussion, refer to the proposed rule of July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44184).
The Codex has established MRLs for clofentezine, cyromazine,
fenbutatin-oxide, glufosinate ammonium, and tebufenozide in or on
various commodities. Some MRLs are different than the tolerances
established for clofentezine, cyromazine, fenbutatin-oxide, glufosinate
ammonium, and tebufenozide in the United States. For a detailed
discussion, refer to the proposed rule of July 28, 2010 (75 FR 44184).
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
In this final rule, EPA revises tolerance expressions and revokes
specific tolerances established under FFDCA section 408. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions (i.e.,
tolerance actions for which extraordinary circumstances do not exist)
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) (Pub. L. 104-4). Nor does it require any special considerations
as required by 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 other
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 104-13, section 12(d)
(15 U.S.C. 272 note). Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether
establishment of tolerances, exemptions from tolerances, raising of
tolerance levels, expansion of exemptions, or revocations might
significantly impact a substantial number of small entities and
concluded that, as a general matter, these actions do not impose a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
These analyses for tolerance establishments and modifications, and for
tolerance revocations were published on May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950) and
on December 17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL-5753-1), respectively, and were
provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration. Taking into account this analysis, and available
information concerning the pesticides listed in this final rule, the
Agency
[[Page 23493]]
hereby certifies that this final rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In a
memorandum dated May 25, 2001, EPA determined that eight conditions
must all be satisfied in order for an import tolerance or tolerance
exemption revocation to adversely affect a significant number of small
entity importers, and that there is a negligible joint probability of
all eight conditions holding simultaneously with respect to any
particular revocation. (This Agency document is available in the docket
of the proposed rule). Furthermore, for the pesticides named in this
final rule, the Agency knows of no extraordinary circumstances that
exist as to the present revocations that would change EPA's previous
analysis. 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 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 9,
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.
V. 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).
