Fluxapyroxad; Pesticide Tolerances
Technical Amendment
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
AGENCY:
Final rule; technical
amendment.
ACTION:
EPA issued a final rule in the
Federal Register of May 14, 2012,
concerning the establishment of
pesticide tolerances for the new
fungicide active ingredient
fluxapyroxad. Inadvertently, the
terminology for the oilseed crop group
and for dried plums was incorrect. This
technical amendment is being issued to
correct the terminology.
SUMMARY:
This final rule is effective August
3, 2012.
DATES:
The docket for this action,

II. What does this technical correction
do?
In the Federal Register of May 14,
2012 (77 FR 28270) (FRL–9346–7), EPA
issued a final rule establishing
tolerances for the new fungicide active
ingredient fluxapyroxad (40 CFR
180.666) in or on various commodities.
Inadvertently, the commodity
terminology for the oilseed crop group
and for dried plums was incorrectly
expressed. This document is being
issued to correct the terminology for
these commodities.
III. Why is this correction issued as a
final rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B), provides that, when an
Agency for good cause finds that notice
and public procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary or contrary to the public
interest, the Agency may issue a final
rule without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. EPA
has determined that there is good cause
for making this technical amendment
final without prior proposal and
opportunity for comment, because this
technical amendment only revises the
terminology of two (2) commodities,
with no other related changes to
tolerance levels or any requirements of
the final rule. EPA finds that this
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B).
IV. Do any of the statutory and
Executive Order reviews apply to this
action?
This technical amendment only
revises the terminology of two
commodities and does not otherwise
change the original requirements of the
final rule. As a technical amendment,
this action is not subject to the statutory
and Executive Order review
requirements. For information about the
statutory and Executive Order review
requirements as they relate to the final
rule, see Unit VI. in the Federal Register
of May 14, 2012 (77 FR 28270) (FRL–
9346–7).
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

services, and international activities.’’ 3
Section 9(a)(2) stipulates that regulatory
fees for the enumerated activities ‘‘shall
be collected only if, and only in the total
amounts, required in Appropriation
Acts,’’ and must ‘‘be established in
amounts that will result in collection,
during each fiscal year, of any amount
that can reasonably be expected to equal
the amount appropriated’’ for the
performance of the activities
enumerated in section 9(a)(1) during
that fiscal year. Since FY 2009, Congress
has directed the Commission to assess
and collect regulatory fees in an amount
equal to the entire amount
appropriated.4 Congress appropriated
$339,844,000 for the Commission in FY
2012,5 and the regulatory fees
established in this FY 2012 Report and
Order are calculated so as to collect this
entire amount.6 In this annual
regulatory fee proceeding, we retain
many of the current methods, policies,
and procedures for collecting section 9
regulatory fees adopted by the
Commission in prior years. Consistent
with our established practice, we intend
to collect these regulatory fees during a
September 2012 filing window in order
to collect the required amount by the
end of our fiscal year.7
5. In this FY 2012 Report and Order,
we address the following issues: (1)
Incorporating 2010 Census data into our
broadcast population data, (2) assessing
a regulatory fee for each broadcasting
facility operating either in an analog or
digital mode (but not both) for Low
Power, Class A, and TV Translators/
Boosters, (3) maintaining the FY 2012
Interstate Telecommunications Service
Provider (ITSP) fee rate at the same level
as in FY 2011, (4) using an online filing
system for the filing of requests for a
refund, waiver, fee reduction, or
deferment of payment of an application
or regulatory fee, (5) maintaining the
Commercial Mobile Radio Service
(‘‘CMRS’’) Messaging Service at the rate
of $.08 per subscriber, and (6) the
3 47
U.S.C. 159(a).
Appropriations Act of 2009, Public
Law 111–8, 123 Stat. 524, 657 (2009).
5 Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012,
Public Law 112–74, Div. C, Title V (December 23,
2011).
6 In FY 2011, the Commission’s collection target
goal was $335,794,000, and it collected $342.04
million through September 30, 2011. Any over
collection amount is unavailable for obligation
pursuant to Public Law 112–74 (HR 2055),
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012, page 124.
7 The Commission also expects to release in the
near future a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that
will propose to update our current cost allocation
percentages and revise our cost allocation
methodology. We expect to implement any changes
that result from this rulemaking in FY 2013; they
do not affect the fees set in this FY 2012 Report and
Order.
