Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; Technical Correction.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the
Federal Register of April 24, 2013,
establishing new and modifying existing
tolerances for residues of azoxystrobin.
EPA inadvertently omitted the revised
tolerance for wheat, forage to the table
in the regulatory text. This document
corrects that omission.
DATES: This technical correction is
effective May 31, 2013.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action,

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 105 / Friday, May 31, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
II. What does this technical correction
do?
EPA issued a final rule in the Federal
Register of April 24, 2013 (78 FR 24094)
(FRL–9384–2), establishing new and
modifying existing tolerances for
residues of the fungicide azoxystrobin
in or on various commodities. EPA
inadvertently omitted the revised
tolerance for wheat, forage in the table
in § 180.507(a)(1) of the regulatory text.
As indicated in the preamble to that
final rule (on page 24099, first column,
third full paragraph), EPA intended to
revise, as part of the final rule, a
tolerance for wheat, forage at 15.0 parts
per million (ppm). This technical
correction completes the action EPA
intended to take in the final rule of
April 24, 2013, by revising the existing
tolerance for wheat, forage from 25 ppm
to 15.0 ppm.

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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:51 May 30, 2013
Jkt 229001
for making this technical correction
final without prior proposal and
opportunity for comment, because this
action merely corrects an omission. The
preamble stated the Agency’s intent to
revise the tolerance level for
azoxystrobin in or on wheat, forage.
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?
No. For a detailed discussion
concerning the statutory and executive
order review, refer to Unit VI. of the
April 24, 2013 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).
