SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Multnomah County has requested that
the Broadway Bascule Bridge remain
closed to vessel traffic to facilitate safe,
uninterrupted roadway passage of
participants in the Race for the Roses
and the Bridge to Brews Run & Walk
events. The Broadway Bridge crosses
the Willamette River at mile 11.7 and
provides 90 feet of vertical clearance
above Columbia River Datum 0.0 while
in the closed position. Vessels that do
not require a bridge opening may
continue to transit beneath the bridge
during the closure periods. Under
normal conditions this bridge operates
in accordance with 33 CFR 117.897,
which allows for the bridge to remain
closed between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and
4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through
Friday, and also requires advance
notification when a bridge opening is
needed. This deviation period is
effective from 7:30 a.m. on April 7,
2013, to 8:30 a.m. on April 14, 2013.
The deviation allows the bascule span
of the Broadway Bridge across the
Willamette River, mile 11.7, to remain
in the closed position and need not
open for maritime traffic from 7:30 a.m.
until 12:01 p.m. on April 7, 2013, and
from 5:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. on April
14, 2013. The bridge shall operate in
accordance to 33 CFR 117.897 at all
other times. Waterway usage on this

stretch of the Willamette River includes
vessels ranging from commercial tug
and barge to small pleasure craft.
Mariners will be notified and kept
informed of the bridge’s operational
status via the Coast Guard Notice to
Mariners publication and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners as appropriate. The
draw span will be required to open, if
needed, for vessels engaged in
emergency response operations during
this closure period.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

0.1 part per million (ppm) is
tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 0.2 (ppm);
cattle, kidney (of which no more than

IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This final rule establishes tolerances
under FFDCA section 408(e) of FFDCA.
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,
entitled ‘‘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
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
15881
Executive Order 12898, entitled
‘‘Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income
Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
In addition, under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), the Agency previously assessed
whether establishing tolerances,
exemptions from tolerances, raising
tolerance levels, or expanding
exemptions might adversely impact
small entities and concluded, as a
generic matter, that there is no adverse
economic impact. The factual basis for
the Agency’s generic certification for
tolerance actions was published on May
4, 1981 (46 FR 24950), and was
provided to the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration.
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 FFDCA section 408(n)(4). 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) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
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) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
V. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 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

II. Background
A detailed summary of the background related to EPA's extension of
the time-limited interim tolerances for the combined residues of the
insecticide tetrachlorvinphos, including its metabolites, in or on
multiple commodities can be found in the Federal Register notices of
June 8, 2011 (76 FR 33184) (FRL-8874-7); September 16, 2011 (76 FR
57657) (FRL-8887-5); and March 6, 2013 (78 FR 14487) (FRL-9380-8). The
referenced documents are available in the docket established by this
action, which is described under ADDRESSES. Locate and click on the
hyperlink for docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0360. Double-click on
the documents to view the referenced background summary information.
There were no substantive comments received in response to the proposed
rule of March 6, 2013.
III. Conclusion
For the reasons stated in the proposed rule of March 6, 2013, EPA
is finalizing its proposal to extend to August 18, 2013, the expiration
dates for the following tolerances listed in 40 CFR 180.252 for
tetrachlorvinphos, (Z)-2-chloro-1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) vinyl
dimethyl phosphate, including its metabolites, 1-(2,4,5-
trichlorophenyl)-ethanol (free and conjugated forms), 2,4,5-
trichloroacetophenone, and 1-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-ethanediol in or
on: Cattle, fat (of which no more than 0.1 part per million (ppm) is
tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 0.2 (ppm); cattle, kidney (of which no
more than 0.05 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 1.0 ppm; cattle,
liver (of which no more than 0.05 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per se) at
0.5 ppm; cattle, meat (of which no more than 2.0 ppm is
tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 2.0 ppm; cattle, meat byproducts, except
kidney and liver at 1.0 ppm; egg (of which no more than 0.05 ppm is
tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 0.2 ppm; hog, fat (of which no more than
0.1 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 0.2 ppm; hog, kidney (of which
no more than 0.05 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 1.0 ppm; hog,
liver (of which no more than 0.05 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per se) at
0.5 ppm; hog, meat (of which no more than 2.0 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos
per se) at 2.0 ppm; hog, meat byproducts, except kidney and liver at
1.0 ppm; milk, fat (reflecting negligible residues in whole milk and of
which no more than 0.05 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 0.05 ppm;
poultry, fat (of which no more than 7.0 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per
se) at 7.0 ppm; poultry, liver (of which no more than 0.05 ppm is
tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 2.0 ppm; poultry, meat (of which no more
than 3.0 ppm is tetrachlorvinphos per se) at 3.0 ppm; and poultry, meat
byproducts, except liver at 2.0 ppm.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408(e)
of FFDCA. 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,
entitled ``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).
In addition, under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether establishing
tolerances, exemptions from tolerances, raising tolerance levels, or
expanding exemptions might adversely impact small entities and
concluded, as a generic matter, that there is no adverse economic
impact. The factual basis for the Agency's generic certification for
tolerance actions was published on May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950), and was
provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration.
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 FFDCA section 408(n)(4). 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) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
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) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
V. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
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
[[Page 15882]]
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
