The designated representative may be on an official patrol vessel or may be on shore and will communicate with vessels via VHF–FM radio or loudhailer. In addition, members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary may be present to inform vessel operators of this regulation. (2) Official patrol vessels. Official patrol vessels may consist of any Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, state, or local law enforcement vessels assigned or approved by the COTP. (3) Spectators. All persons and vessels not registered with the event sponsor as participants or official patrol vessels. (d) Spectators desiring to enter or operate within the regulated areas should contact the COTP or the designated representative via VHF channel 16 or by telephone at (203) 468–4404 to obtain permission to do so. Spectators given permission to enter or operate in the regulated area must comply with all directions given to them by the COTP Sector Long Island Sound or the designated on-scene representative. (e) Upon being hailed by an official patrol vessel or the designated representative, by siren, radio, flashing light or other means, the operator of the vessel shall proceed as directed. Failure to comply with a lawful direction may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to comply, or both.

On November 9, 2012, EPA issued a final rule establishing time-limited tolerances for residues of dinotefuran in or on pome fruit, group 11 and stone fruit, group 12 in 40 CFR 180.603(b). A subsequent rule was published on November 28, 2012, establishing permanent tolerances for dinotefuran on rice and other commodities, under 40 CFR 180.603(a). Inadvertently, with the establishment of the permanent tolerances on November 28, 2012, the time-limited tolerances for pome fruit, group 11 and stone fruit, group 12, that had previously been established in the November 9, 2012 final rule were deleted. This final rule will restore § 180.603(b), as well as the pesticide time-limited tolerances for pome fruit, group 11 and stone fruit, group 12, to support uses authorized under section 18 emergency exemptions. III. Why is this amendment 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, in order to move quickly on the emergency exemption to address an urgent nonroutine situation and ensure that the resulting food is safe and lawful, as provided for in FFDCA section 408(l)(6). EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 180 Environmental protection, Agricultural commodities, Pesticides and pests.

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0755; FRL-9384-9]


Dinotefuran; Pesticide Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions; 
Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of November 9, 
2012, concerning establishing time-limited tolerances for dinotefuran 
on pome fruit, group 11 and stone fruit, group 12, in connection with 
authorizations for emergency exemption uses under section 18 of the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This 
document amends the tolerance listing for dinotefuran by restoring the 
time-limited tolerances that were inadvertently deleted by a subsequent 
(unrelated) final rule published in the Federal Register of November 
28, 2012.

DATES: This final rule amendment is effective April 26, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket 
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0755, is available at https://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs Regulatory 
Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency 
Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution 
Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. The Public Reading Room is open 
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal 
holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202) 
566-1744, and the telephone number for the OPP Docket is (703) 305-
5805. Please review the visitor instructions and additional information 
about the docket available at https://www.epa.gov/dockets.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrea Conrath, Registration Division 
(7505P), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency, 
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington DC 20460-0001; telephone number:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me?

    The Agency included in the final rule a list of those who may be 
potentially affected by this action.

[[Page 24683]]

II. What does this technical amendment do?

    On November 9, 2012, EPA issued a final rule establishing time-
limited tolerances for residues of dinotefuran in or on pome fruit, 
group 11 and stone fruit, group 12 in 40 CFR 180.603(b). A subsequent 
rule was published on November 28, 2012, establishing permanent 
tolerances for dinotefuran on rice and other commodities, under 40 CFR 
180.603(a). Inadvertently, with the establishment of the permanent 
tolerances on November 28, 2012, the time-limited tolerances for pome 
fruit, group 11 and stone fruit, group 12, that had previously been 
established in the November 9, 2012 final rule were deleted. This final 
rule will restore Sec.  180.603(b), as well as the pesticide time-
limited tolerances for pome fruit, group 11 and stone fruit, group 12, 
to support uses authorized under section 18 emergency exemptions.

III. Why is this amendment 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, in order to 
move quickly on the emergency exemption to address an urgent non-
routine situation and ensure that the resulting food is safe and 
lawful, as provided for in FFDCA section 408(l)(6). 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?

    EPA included a discussion of the statutory and Executive Order 
reviews in the November 9, 2012 final rule.

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 Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' 
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
