Download as PDF 36480 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2011 / Proposed Rules srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA? 1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments, remember to: i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number). ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number. iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes. iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used. v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced. vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives. vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats. viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified. 3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:53 Jun 21, 2011 Jkt 223001 human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general population. II. What action is the agency taking? EPA is announcing receipt of a pesticide petition filed under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of regulations in 40 CFR part 174 or part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various food commodities. The Agency is taking public comment on the request before responding to the petitioner. EPA is not proposing any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the pesticide petition described in this document contains data or information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting of the pesticide petition. After considering the public comments, EPA intends to evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data may be needed before EPA can make a final determination on this pesticide petition. Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition that is the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is included in a docket EPA has created for this rulemaking. The docket for this petition is available on-line at https://www.regulations.gov. As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), (21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3)), EPA is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained through the petition summary referenced in this unit. Notice of the Agency’s receipt of the following petition was previously announced in the Federal Register of August 11, 2010 (75 FR 48667) (FRL– 8840–6), however, the petition document was not made available in the docket. Therefore, EPA is republishing notice of the petition so that the public has an opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food commodities. PP 0F7734. Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc., P.O. Box 18300, Greensboro, NC 27410, proposes to establish a tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of the insecticide thiamethoxam, (3-[(2-chloro5-thiazolyl) methyl]tetrahydro-5-methylN-nitro-4H-1,3,5-oxadiazin-4-imine) and PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 its metabolite [N-(2-chloro-thiazol-5ylmethyl)-N′-methyl-N′-nitroguanidine], in or on food commodities/feed commodities (other than those covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing crops) in food/feed handling establishments at 0.01 part per million (ppm). Syngenta Crop Protection has submitted practical analytical methodology for detecting and measuring levels of thiamethoxam in or on raw agricultural commodities. This method is based on crop specific cleanup procedures and determination by liquid chromatography with either ultraviolet (UV) or mass spectrometry (MS) detections. The limit of detection (LOD) for each analyte of this method is 1.25 nanogram (ng) injected for samples analyzed by UV and 0.25 ng injected for samples analyzed by MS, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) is 0.005 ppm for milk and juices, and 0.01 ppm for all other substrates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this proposed action in the preamble to the Direct Final rule. If we receive no adverse comment on this minor change we are publishing today, we will not take further action on this proposed rule. If, however, we receive adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify the public that the regulatory amendment in the Direct Final rule will not take effect, and the reasons for such a withdrawal. If the Direct Final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register is withdrawn, all comments will be addressed in a subsequent final action on the proposed rule. We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. The regulatory text for this proposal is identical to that for the Direct Final rule published in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register. For further information, please see the information provided in the ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register. I. Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule? EPA is proposing a minor amendment that would change the Federal printing specifications applicable to those entities that print the hazardous waste manifest form. This proposed rule would change only the printing specification in 40 CFR 262.21(f)(4) that currently requires that certain copy distribution notations appearing in the margins of the form must be printed only in red ink. In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this Federal Register, EPA is making this change as a Direct Final rule without a prior proposed rule, because we view this as a non-controversial action and A. Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 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 economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of today’s rule on small entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined by the Small Business PO 00000 Frm 00096 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 II. Does this action apply to me? Entities potentially affected by this action are the hazardous waste manifest printers subject to 40 CFR 262.21(f) of the RCRA hazardous waste regulations. States are not affected by the changes to the printing specifications unless they should opt to print manifests. No states are currently printing these forms. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews For a complete discussion of all the administrative requirements applicable to this action, see the discussion in the ‘‘Statutory and Executive Order Reviews’’ section to the preamble for the Direct Final rule that is published in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register.

After considering the economic impacts of today’s Direct Final rule on small entities, I certify that this proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This action proposes only a minor change to the manifest printing specifications, and the effect of this proposed change would make it easier for printers to comply with the manifest printing specification by providing additional options. Therefore, this proposed rule would not impose any new burden or costs on printers or users of the manifest, including printers and users who are small entities as defined by the RFA. Since the rule would not have any significant adverse economic impact on small entities, the RFA does not require EPA to perform a regulatory flexibility analysis.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule?

    EPA is proposing a minor amendment that would change the Federal 
printing specifications applicable to those entities that print the 
hazardous waste manifest form. This proposed rule would change only the 
printing specification in 40 CFR 262.21(f)(4) that currently requires 
that certain copy distribution notations appearing in the margins of 
the form must be printed only in red ink. In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is making this 
change as a Direct Final rule without a prior proposed rule, because we 
view this as a non-controversial action and anticipate no adverse 
comment. We have explained our reasons for this proposed action in the 
preamble to the Direct Final rule. If we receive no adverse comment on 
this minor change we are publishing today, we will not take further 
action on this proposed rule. If, however, we receive adverse comment, 
we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify 
the public that the regulatory amendment in the Direct Final rule will 
not take effect, and the reasons for such a withdrawal. If the Direct 
Final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register is withdrawn, all comments will be addressed in a subsequent 
final action on the proposed rule. We do not intend to institute a 
second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in 
commenting must do so at this time.
    The regulatory text for this proposal is identical to that for the 
Direct Final rule published in the Rules and Regulations section of 
this Federal Register. For further information, please see the 
information provided in the ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register.

II. Does this action apply to me?

    Entities potentially affected by this action are the hazardous 
waste manifest printers subject to 40 CFR 262.21(f) of the RCRA 
hazardous waste regulations. States are not affected by the changes to 
the printing specifications unless they should opt to print manifests. 
No states are currently printing these forms.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    For a complete discussion of all the administrative requirements 
applicable to this action, see the discussion in the ``Statutory and 
Executive Order Reviews'' section to the preamble for the Direct Final 
rule that is published in the Rules and Regulations section of this 
Federal Register.

A. Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 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 economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, 
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's rule on small 
entities, a small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined 
by the Small Business

[[Page 36482]]

Administration's (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small 
governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, 
school district or special district with a population of less than 
50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit 
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not 
dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's Direct Final rule 
on small entities, I certify that this proposed rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
This action proposes only a minor change to the manifest printing 
specifications, and the effect of this proposed change would make it 
easier for printers to comply with the manifest printing specification 
by providing additional options. Therefore, this proposed rule would 
not impose any new burden or costs on printers or users of the 
manifest, including printers and users who are small entities as 
defined by the RFA. Since the rule would not have any significant 
adverse economic impact on small entities, the RFA does not require EPA 
to perform a regulatory flexibility analysis.
