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 documents of August
14, 2002 (67 FR 52985) (FRL–7192–4);
February 6, 2008 (73 FR 6867) (FRL–
8345–2); September 17, 2008 (73 FR
53732) (FRL–8375–2); June 8, 2011 (76
FR 33184) (FRL–8874–7); September 16,

(FRL–9380–9); and in the proposed rule
for this action on June 12, 2013 (78 FR
35189) (FRL–9390–3). The referenced
documents in this unit are available in
the docket for the proposed rule under
docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPP–2011–
0360 at https://www.regulations.gov.
There were no substantive comments
received in response to the proposed
rule of June 12, 2013 (78 FR 35189).
III. Conclusion
For the reasons stated in the Agency’s
proposed rule of June 12, 2013 (78 FR
35189) (FRL–9390–3), EPA is now
finalizing its proposal to amend the
existing time-limited interim tolerances
by making them permanent for the
combined residues of the insecticide
tetrachlorvinphos [(Z)-2-chloro-1-(2,4,5trichlorophenyl) vinyl dimethyl
phosphate], including its metabolites, 1(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-ethanol (free and
conjugated forms), 2,4,5trichloroacetophenone, and 1-(2,4,5trichlorophenyl)-ethanediol: in or on
cattle, fat (of which no more than 0.1
parts 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

Jkt 229001
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 amends 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
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
53683
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
Register. This action is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Synopsis
1. Title IV of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) requires the
Commission to ensure that TRS is
available to the extent possible and in
the most efficient manner, to people
with hearing or speech disabilities. The
Act defines TRS as services that enable
an individual with a hearing or speech
disability to communicate with other
individuals ‘‘in a manner that is
functionally equivalent’’ to a hearing
individual’s ability to communicate
using voice communications services.
This requirement is currently
accomplished through TRS facilities
staffed by communications assistants
(CAs) who relay conversations between
persons using various types of assistive
communication devices and persons
using end user telephone equipment,
such as a standard phone, smartphone,
or computer.
2. Captioned Telephone Service (CTS)
is one type of TRS that works by having

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 documents of
August 14, 2002 (67 FR 52985) (FRL-7192-4); February 6, 2008 (73 FR
6867) (FRL-8345-2); September 17, 2008 (73 FR 53732) (FRL-8375-2); June
8, 2011 (76 FR 33184) (FRL-8874-7); September 16, 2011 (76 FR 57657)
(FRL-8887-5); March 6, 2013 (78 FR 14487) (FRL-9380-8); March 13, 2013
(78 FR 15880) (FRL-9380-9); and in the proposed rule for this action on
June 12, 2013 (78 FR 35189) (FRL-9390-3). The referenced documents in
this unit are available in the docket for the proposed rule under
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0360 at https://www.regulations.gov.
There were no substantive comments received in response to the proposed
rule of June 12, 2013 (78 FR 35189).
III. Conclusion
For the reasons stated in the Agency's proposed rule of June 12,
2013 (78 FR 35189) (FRL-9390-3), EPA is now finalizing its proposal to
amend the existing time-limited interim tolerances by making them
permanent for the combined residues of the insecticide
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 parts 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 amends 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 Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
