Senecioate’’ (June 30, 2015), available in
the docket for this action. Based upon
its evaluation, EPA concludes that there
are no threshold effects of concern to
infants or children when lavandulyl
senecioate is applied or used in
microbeads/dispensers in or on all raw
agricultural commodities at a rate not to
exceed 150 grams active ingredient/
acre/year. As a result, EPA concludes
that no additional margin of exposure
(safety) is necessary.
Based on the available data, EPA
determines that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result from
aggregate exposure to lavandulyl
senecioate to the general U.S.
population, including infants and
children when applied to growing crops
using microbeads/dispensers at a rate
not to exceed 150 grams active
ingredient/acre/year. EPA concludes
that an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of lavandulyl
senecioate in or on raw agricultural
commodities when applied to growing
crops using microbeads/dispensers at a
rate not to exceed 150 grams active
ingredient/acre/year is safe.
VII. 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.
VIII. Conclusions
Therefore, an exemption is
established for residues of the arthropod
pheromone, lavandulyl senecioate, in or
on all raw agricultural commodities
when applied or used in microbeads/
dispensers at a rate not to exceed 150
grams active ingredient/acre/year.

IX. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action establishes an exemption
from the requirement of 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 types
of actions from review under Executive
Order 12866, entitled ‘‘Regulatory
Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993). Because this action
has been exempted from review under
Executive Order 12866, this action 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:26 Aug 14, 2015
Jkt 235001
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997). This action 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).
Since tolerances and exemptions that
are established on the basis of a petition
under FFDCA section 408(d), such as
the exemption 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 action 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 action. In addition, this action
does not impose any enforceable duty or
contain any unfunded mandate as
described under Title II of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (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
(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).
X. 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

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

commodities when applied or used in
microbeads/dispensers at a rate not to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The smallmesh multispecies fishery is managed
primarily through a series of exemptions
from the Northeast Multispecies
Fisheries Management Plan. Regulations
governing the red hake fishery are found
at 50 CFR part 648. The regulations
describing the process to adjust
inseason commercial possession limits
of northern red hake are described in
§ 648.86(d)(4) and (5). These regulations
require the Regional Administrator to
reduce the northern red hake possession
limit from 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) to 1,500
lb (680 kg) when landings have been

projected to reach or exceed 45 percent
of the total allowable landings (TAL).
The northern red hake possession limit
is required to be further reduced to 400
lb (181 kg) if landings are projected to
reach or exceed 62.5 percent of the TAL,
unless such a reduction would be
expected to prevent the TAL from being
reached. The setting of these inseason
adjustment thresholds were established
in the final rule implementing the
small-mesh multispecies specifications
for 2015–2017, published in the Federal
Register on May 28, 2015 (80 FR 30379).
These measures were imposed
because the annual catch limits (ACL)
for northern red hake were exceeded for
the 2012 and 2013 fishing years, and
northern red hake was experiencing
overfishing. To reduce the risk of
continued overfishing on the stock and
to better constrain catch to the ACL, we
implemented this possession limit
reduction trigger.
Based on commercial landings data
reported through July 30, 2015, the

northern red hake fishery is projected to
reach 45 percent of the TAL on August
10, 2015. Based on this projection,
reducing the commercial northern red
hake possession limit to 1,500 lb (680
kg) is required to prevent the TAL from
being exceeded. Upon the effective date
of this action, no person may possess on
board or land more than 1,500 lb (680

remainder of the fishing year.
