finances of smaller webcasters is the
reference by Capt. Kass to the survey
performed ‘‘back aways’’ that
supposedly showed that IBS members
had an average annual operating budget
of $9,000. Kass (Pre-Remand) WDT at ¶
9. IBS did not offer that purported
survey into evidence. Without
documentary evidence that would allow
the Judges to assess the validity of the
survey, the Judges cannot accept Capt.
Kass’s reference to that survey as
evidence. See 37 CFR 351.l0(e).
Moreover, assuming arguendo the
Judges could accept such a casual
reference as probative, the assertion
would not advance IBS’s case. On its
face, an assertion that the average
operating budget for IBS members is
$9,000 does not establish that its
members lack the capacity to make a
minimum payment of $500.
Third, the evidence strongly suggests
that the ATH cutoffs that IBS proposed
for ‘‘Small’’ and ‘‘Very Small’’
noncommercial webcasters are arbitrary.
It appears that, for these proposed
smaller categories, IBS chose ATH
levels that represent 10% and 4%,
respectively, of the ATH cutoff (159,400
ATH) for all noncommercial webcasters
contained in SoundExchange’s rate
proposal. IBS’s Restated Rate Proposal
(June 1, 2010). Nothing in the record
substantiates these ATH levels as
probative of the ability, vel non, of a
noncommercial webcaster to pay a $500
minimum fee.
Fourth, even if there were a sufficient
basis in the record to conclude that
‘‘Small’’ and/or ‘‘Very Small’’
noncommercial webcasters were unable
to pay a $500 minimum fee, that alone
would not demonstrate that a willing
seller in a hypothetical marketplace
would be prepared to offer a lower
minimum fee. That proposition is
particularly dubious in this proceeding
given the evidence in the record
(discussed supra) that SoundExchange’s
average annual administrative cost
exceeds $500 per station or channel.
Fifth, the particular economic
circumstances of the academic
webcasters represented by IBS are
germane only to the determination of
the statutory royalty rate that they are
required to pay—a royalty
determination previously rendered by
the Judges and affirmed by the D.C.
Circuit. Indeed, the prior Determination
by the Judges, affirmed by the D.C.
Circuit, acknowledged the
appropriateness of lower rates for
noncommercial webcasters compared to
the rates set for commercial webcasters.
The issue at hand on this remand is
different—whether there should be a
distinction regarding the minimum

Jkt 235001
fee—not the royalty rate—among
different groups within the category of
noncommercial webcasters.16
Finally, the testimony of the IBS
witnesses regarding the nature of the
use of sound recordings 17 by academic
institutions is not pertinent to the
setting of the minimum fee based on
SoundExchange’s administrative costs.
That is, payment of a minimum fee of
zero, and indeed any minimum fee
significantly below SoundExchange’s
actual administrative costs, would
provide a webcaster with an unjustified
free ride 18 in terms of the cost of
administering the license, because
SoundExchange incurs that cost
regardless of the nature of the use of the
sound recording.19
16 The contrast between the economic value of a
sound recording and the economic value of
administrative services is instructive in this regard.
Administrative services, like any private services or
goods, are priced in a market at a level that permits
the seller to recover at least its average variable cost
of providing those services. By contrast, the
marginal cost of producing an additional copy of a
sound recording is essentially zero, so the
determination of the price for the sound recording,
on the supply side, is influenced by that economic
fact (and by the recurring sinking of long-term costs
to create the recording and the need to provide an
incentive for the creation of future sound
recordings). Noncommercial webcasters might have
been able to argue for a different or lower royalty
rate based on this economic argument, but the
Judges cannot apply this principle to the valuation
of a service, such as the provision of administrative
functions that, like all private goods or services, are
provided at a positive marginal cost.
17 Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 114(f)(2)(B), the Judges
can identify and then account for those differences
in the ‘‘nature of the use of sound recordings’’ that
would support a different rate or term.
18 ‘‘Small’’ and ‘‘Very Small’’ noncommercial
webcasters would obtain a free ride under the IBS
proposal because they receive benefits from
SoundExchange’s administrative services. As
explained by Mr. McCrady, rather than having to
negotiate licenses with individual copyright owners
in a market without a statutory license,
noncommercial webcasters enjoy ‘‘one-stop
shopping’’ for rights to all recordings at a preestablished price. McCrady WDT at 11.
19 The Judges do not rely upon Mr. McCrady’s
testimony regarding the nature of the use of the
sound recordings by academic institutions. He
testified that the $500 minimum fee is appropriate
because it provides an important educational
message for students regarding the value of
recorded music and the need to pay for it. 5/18/10
Tr. at 23 (McCrady). Mr. McCrady did not purport
to be an educator, he did not claim any direct
knowledge of the scope or content of the
educational work undertaken by academic
institutions that authorize their students to play
sound recordings, and SoundExchange did not
proffer evidence to indicate that Mr. McCrady
possessed the competency to testify as to any
relationship between the educational mission of
these institutions and the establishment of a
minimum fee. Although such a ‘‘message’’ might
well be appropriate as part of an economics or
business school class or internship, that message
might not be part of the curriculum in a music or
communications class or internship. Further, a
student’s understanding of the economic issues
regarding the pricing of sound recordings cannot be
imparted in such an ad hoc manner.

IV. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, developed
from a de novo review of the record, the
Judges conclude that the $500 minimum
fee proposed by SoundExchange for all
noncommercial webcasters for the
license term 2006 through 2010 is
appropriate and consistent with the
relevant willing buyer/willing seller
statutory standard. The Judges hereby
expressly adopt the same minimum fee
as set forth in the Final Determination
published on May 1, 2007, and the
Order on Remand. See 37 CFR
380.3(b)(2). The Judges also conclude
that IBS failed to support the zero
minimum fee that it proposed for subcategories of noncommercial
webcasters, either with relevant
evidence or economic analysis
consistent with the applicable statutory
standard.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

the Agency’s risk assessment which can
be found at https://www.regulations.gov
in document PP 2E8092 entitled ‘‘Alkyl
Alcohol Alkoxylate Phosphate and
Sulfate Derivatives (Multiple CAS #s):
Request to amend existing tolerance
exemptions under 40 CFR 180.910 and
180.930’’ in docket ID number EPA–
HQ–OPP–2012–0862.
III. Risk Assessment and Statutory
Findings
Inert ingredients are all ingredients
that are not active ingredients as defined
in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are
not limited to, the following types of
ingredients (except when they have a
pesticidal efficacy of their own):
Solvents such as alcohols and
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as
polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty
acids; carriers such as clay and
diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as
carrageenan and modified cellulose;
wetting, spreading, and dispersing
agents; propellants in aerosol
dispensers; microencapsulating agents;
and emulsifiers. The term ‘‘inert’’ is not
intended to imply nontoxicity; the
ingredient may or may not be
chemically active. Generally, EPA has
exempted inert ingredients from the
requirement of a tolerance based on the
low toxicity of the individual inert
ingredients.
Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA
allows EPA to establish an exemption
from the requirement for a tolerance (the
legal limit for a pesticide chemical
residue in or on a food) only if EPA
determines that the exemption is ‘‘safe.’’
Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA
defines ‘‘safe’’ to mean that ‘‘there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will
result from aggregate exposure to the
pesticide chemical residue, including
all anticipated dietary exposures and all
other exposures for which there is
reliable information.’’ This includes
exposure through drinking water and
use in residential settings, but does not
include occupational exposure. Section
408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure
of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance and to ‘‘ensure that there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue . . .’’ and specifies
factors EPA is to consider in
establishing an exemption.
EPA establishes exemptions from the
requirement of a tolerance only in those
cases where it can be shown that the
risks from aggregate exposure to
pesticide chemical residues under
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
64675
reasonably foreseeable circumstances
will pose no appreciable risks to human
health. In order to determine the risks
from aggregate exposure to pesticide
inert ingredients, the Agency considers
the toxicity of the inert in conjunction
with possible exposure to residues of
the inert ingredient through food,
drinking water, and through other
exposures that occur as a result of
pesticide use in residential settings. If
EPA is able to determine that a finite
tolerance is not necessary to ensure that
there is a reasonable certainty that no
harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the inert ingredient, an
exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance may be established.
Consistent with FFDCA section
408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other
relevant information in support of this
action and considered its validity,
completeness and reliability and the
relationship of this information to
human risk. EPA has also considered
available information concerning the
variability of the sensitivities of major
identifiable subgroups of consumers,
including infants and children. In the
case of certain chemical substances that
are defined as polymers, the Agency has
established a set of criteria to identify
categories of polymers expected to
present minimal or no risk. The
definition of a polymer is given in 40
CFR 723.250(b) and the exclusion
criteria for identifying these low-risk
polymers are described in 40 CFR
723.250(d). EPA has sufficient data to
assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for
AAAPD and AAASD including
exposure resulting from the exemption
established by this action. EPA’s
assessment of exposures and risks
associated with AAAPD and AAASD
follows.
The Agency agrees with the petitioner

1456802–89–3, 1456803–12–5, and
219756–63–5 are AAAPD and AAASD
similar to those present in the existing
exemption. In 2009, in establishing the
exemption for the AAAPD and AAASD,
EPA assessed their safety generally
using worst case exposure assumptions
(74 FR 37571) (FRL–8424–6). EPA
concluded that that assessment showed
that exempting AAAPD and AAASD
from the requirement from a tolerance
would be safe. Inclusion of additional
chemicals described above in the risk
assessment for the AAAPD and AAASD
would in no way alter that prior risk
assessment given the generic findings
on toxicity and the worst case exposure
assumptions used in that risk
assessment. Accordingly, based on the
findings in that earlier rule, EPA has
determined that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm to any population
subgroup, including infants and
children, will result from aggregate
exposure to AAAPD and AAASD, by
including the additional chemicals
described above, under reasonably
foreseeable circumstances. Therefore,
the amendment of an exemption from
tolerance under 40 CFR 180.910 and
180.930, for residues of AAAPD and
AAASD to include the chemicals
described above is safe under FFDCA
section 408.
IV. Other Considerations
rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
An analytical method is not required
for enforcement purposes since the
Agency is establishing an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance
without any numerical limitation.
B. International Residue Limits
In making its tolerance decisions, EPA
seeks to harmonize U.S. tolerances with
international standards whenever
possible, consistent with U.S. food
safety standards and agricultural
practices. EPA considers the
international maximum residue limits
(MRLs) established by the Codex
Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as
required by FFDCA section 408(b)(4).
The Codex Alimentarius is a joint
United Nation Food and Agriculture
Organization/World Health
Organization food standards program,
and it is recognized as an international
food safety standards-setting
organization in trade agreements to
which the United States is a party. EPA
may establish a tolerance that is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:37 Oct 30, 2014
Jkt 235001
different from a Codex MRL; however,
FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that
EPA explain the reasons for departing
from the Codex level.
The Codex has not established a MRL
for AAAPD and AAASD.
V. Conclusions
Therefore, an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance is established
under 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 for
AAAPD and AAASD when used as an
inert ingredient for post-harvest use on
agricultural crops under 40 CFR 180.910
and when applied to animals under 40
CFR 180.930 used as surfactants not to
exceed 30% of pesticide formulation.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This final rule establishes a tolerance
under FFDCA section 408(d) in
response to a petition submitted to the
Agency. The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) has exempted these rules
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 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).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under FFDCA section 408(d), such as
the tolerance in this final rule, do not
require the issuance of a proposed rule,
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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, or otherwise have any unique
impacts on local governments. 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.).
Although this action does not 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), EPA seeks to achieve
environmental justice, the fair treatment
and meaningful involvement of any
group, including minority and/or lowincome populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. As such, to the
extent that information is publicly
available or was submitted in comments
to EPA, the Agency considered whether
groups or segments of the population, as
a result of their location, cultural
practices, or other factors, may have
atypical or disproportionately high and
adverse human health impacts or
environmental effects from exposure to
the pesticide discussed in this
document, compared to the general
population.
VII. 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).

II. Petition for Exemption
In the Federal Register of July 29, 2009 (74 FR 37571) (FRL-8424-
6), EPA issued a Final Rule, announcing the establishment of a
tolerance exemption pursuant to a pesticide petition (PP 9E7533) by the
Joint Inerts Task Force (JITF) Cluster Support Team Number 2 (CST 2) c/
o CropLife America, 1156 15th Street NW., Suite 400, Washington, DC
20005. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.910, 40 CFR 180.920, and
40 CFR 180.930 be amended by establishing exemptions from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of a group of substances known
as alkyl alcohol alkoxylate phosphate and sulfate derivatives. The
exemptions narratively describe the subject chemical as [alpha]-alkyl
(minimum C6 linear, branched, saturated and/or unsaturated)-[omega]-
hydroxypolyoxyethylene polymer with or without polyoxypropylene,
mixture of di- and monohydrogen phosphate esters and the corresponding
ammonium, calcium, magnesium, monoethanolamine, potassium, sodium, and
zinc salts of the phosphate esters; minimum oxyethylene content is 2
moles; minimum oxypropylene content is 0 moles and [alpha]- alkyl (C6-
C15)-[omega] hydroxypoly(oxyethylene)sulfate, and its ammonium,
calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and zinc salts,
poly(oxyethylene) content averages 2-4 moles.
In the Federal Register of August 20, 2010 (75 FR 51382) (FRL-8836-

petitioner, which is available in the docket, https://www.regulations.gov, and solicited comments on the petitioner's
request. The Agency did not receive any comments.
Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA has
confirmed that the requested CAS Reg. Nos. are acceptable for
consideration under the currently approved descriptor. This limitation
is based on the Agency's risk assessment which can be found at https://www.regulations.gov in document PP 2E8092 entitled ``Alkyl Alcohol
Alkoxylate Phosphate and Sulfate Derivatives (Multiple CAS #s): Request
to amend existing tolerance exemptions under 40 CFR 180.910 and
180.930'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0862.
III. Risk Assessment and Statutory Findings
Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active
ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not
limited to, the following types of ingredients (except when they have a
pesticidal efficacy of their own): Solvents such as alcohols and
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty
acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as
carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing
agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents;
and emulsifiers. The term ``inert'' is not intended to imply
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active.
Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a
tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert
ingredients.
Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and use in residential settings, but does not include
occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the
pesticide chemical residue in establishing an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue . . .'' and
specifies factors EPA is to consider in establishing an exemption.
EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be shown that the risks from aggregate
exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable
circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order
to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert
ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in
conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to
determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance may be established.
Consistent with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(D), EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action and considered its validity, completeness and reliability
and the relationship of this information to human risk. EPA has also
considered available information concerning the variability of the
sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including
infants and children. In the case of certain chemical substances that
are defined as polymers, the Agency has established a set of criteria
to identify categories of polymers expected to present minimal or no
risk. The definition of a polymer is given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and the
exclusion criteria for identifying these low-risk polymers are
described in 40 CFR 723.250(d). EPA has sufficient data to assess the
hazards of and to make a determination on aggregate exposure for AAAPD
and AAASD including exposure resulting from the exemption established
by this action. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with
AAAPD and AAASD follows.
The Agency agrees with the petitioner that CAS Reg. No.: 3694-74-4,

are AAAPD and AAASD similar to those present in the existing exemption.
In 2009, in establishing the exemption for the AAAPD and AAASD, EPA
assessed their safety generally using worst case exposure assumptions
(74 FR 37571) (FRL-8424-6). EPA concluded that that assessment showed
that exempting AAAPD and AAASD from the requirement from a tolerance
would be safe. Inclusion of additional chemicals described above in the
risk assessment for the AAAPD and AAASD would in no way alter that
prior risk assessment given the generic findings on toxicity and the
worst case exposure assumptions used in that risk assessment.
Accordingly, based on the findings in that earlier rule, EPA has
determined that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm to any
population subgroup, including infants and children, will result from
aggregate exposure to AAAPD and AAASD, by including the additional
chemicals described above, under reasonably foreseeable circumstances.
Therefore, the amendment of an exemption from tolerance under 40 CFR
180.910 and 180.930, for residues of AAAPD and AAASD to include the
chemicals described above is safe under FFDCA section 408.
IV. Other Considerations
A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology
An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.
B. International Residue Limits
In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nation Food
and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards
program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
The Codex has not established a MRL for AAAPD and AAASD.
V. Conclusions
Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is
established under 40 CFR 180.910 and 180.930 for AAAPD and AAASD when
used as an inert ingredient for post-harvest use on agricultural crops
under 40 CFR 180.910 and when applied to animals under 40 CFR 180.930
used as surfactants not to exceed 30% of pesticide formulation.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule establishes a tolerance under FFDCA section 408(d)
in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these rules 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 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).
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance in this
final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
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, or otherwise have any unique
impacts on local governments. 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.).
Although this action does not 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), EPA seeks to achieve
environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of
any group, including minority and/or low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies. As such, to the extent that information is
publicly available or was submitted in comments to EPA, the Agency
considered whether groups or segments of the population, as a result of
their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical
or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or
environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide discussed in this
document, compared to the general population.
VII. 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).
