Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 231 / Wednesday, December 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
required by FFDCA section 408(b)(4).
The Codex Alimentarius is a joint
United Nations 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 established MRLs for
etoxazole in or on citrus fruits at 0.1
ppm. EPA is establishing a tolerance for
residues in or on orange of 0.10 ppm in
order to harmonize with the Codex
MRL.
C. Revisions to Petitioned-For
Tolerances
EPA has revised the proposed
tolerance levels for orange and orange
oil from 0.08 and 1.8 ppm to 0.10 and
1.0 ppm, respectively. EPA is
establishing a tolerance of 0.10 ppm for
orange in order to harmonize with the
Codex MRL. Additionally, based on the
orange raw agricultural commodity
highest-average field-trial residue of
0.048 ppm and the median orange oil
processing factor of 20x, EPA is
establishing a tolerance for orange, oil at
1.0 ppm. In addition, EPA is revising
the commodity terms for orange oil to
read as orange, oil to be consistent with
the Agency’s commodity vocabulary.

V. Conclusion
Therefore, tolerances are established
for residues of etoxazole (2-(2,6difluorophenyl)-4-[4-(1,1dimethylethyl)-2-ethoxyphenyl]-4,5dihydrooxazole), in or on orange and
orange, oil at 0.10 ppm and 1.0 ppm,
respectively.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action establishes tolerances
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
13:21 Dec 01, 2015
Jkt 238001
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 tolerances 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).
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

II. What does this technical correction
do?
EPA issued a final rule in the Federal
Register of August 14, 2015 (80 FR
48753) (FRL–9931–30) that established
tolerances with regional registrations for
residues of hexythiazox in or on wheat.
EPA inadvertently limited the
tolerances to Region 11 in the table in
180.448(c) of the regulatory text, when
in fact Regions 9–12 are covered by the
data supporting the tolerances and the
regional registrations. This technical
correction revises the table in 180.488(c)
to include all the regions intended for
the tolerances.
The preamble for FR Doc. 2015–20012
published in the Federal Register issue
of August 14, 2015 (80 FR 48753) (FRL–
9931–30) is corrected as follows:
1. On page 48757, second column,
under the heading ‘‘Part 180—
[Amended]’’, paragraph 3, line 12,
correct ‘‘Wheat, forage (EPA Region 11
only)’’ to read ‘‘Wheat, forage (EPA
Regions 9–12 only)’’.
2. On page 48757, second column,
under the heading ‘‘Part 180—
[Amended]’’, paragraph 3, line 14,
correct ‘‘Wheat, hay (EPA Regions 11
only)’’ to read ‘‘Wheat, hay (EPA
Regions 9–12 only)’’.

3. On page 48757, second column,
under the heading ‘‘Part 180—
[Amended],’’ paragraph 3, line 16,
correct ‘‘Wheat, grain (EPA Regions 11
only’’ to read ‘‘Wheat, grain (EPA
Regions 9–12 only)’’.
4. On page 48757, second column,
under the heading ‘‘Part 180—
[Amended],’’ paragraph 3, line 18,
correct ‘‘Wheat, straw (EPA Region 11
only’’ to read ‘‘Wheat, straw (EPA
Regions 9–12 only)’’.
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
for making this technical correction
final without prior proposal and
opportunity for comment, because this
action merely corrects an omission and
does not otherwise change the original
requirements of the final rule. 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
August 14, 2015 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Does this action apply to me?
The Agency included in the August 14, 2015 final rule a list of
those who may be potentially affected by this action.
II. What does this technical correction do?
EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of August 14, 2015
(80 FR 48753) (FRL-9931-30) that established tolerances with regional
registrations for residues of hexythiazox in or on wheat. EPA
inadvertently limited the tolerances to Region 11 in the table in
180.448(c) of the regulatory text, when in fact Regions 9-12 are
covered by the data supporting the tolerances and the regional
registrations. This technical correction revises the table in
180.488(c) to include all the regions intended for the tolerances.
The preamble for FR Doc. 2015-20012 published in the Federal
Register issue of August 14, 2015 (80 FR 48753) (FRL-9931-30) is
corrected as follows:
1. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended]'', paragraph 3, line 12, correct ``Wheat, forage (EPA Region
11 only)'' to read ``Wheat, forage (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.
2. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended]'', paragraph 3, line 14, correct ``Wheat, hay (EPA Regions 11
only)'' to read ``Wheat, hay (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.
3. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended],'' paragraph 3, line 16, correct ``Wheat, grain (EPA Regions
11 only'' to read ``Wheat, grain (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.
4. On page 48757, second column, under the heading ``Part 180--
[Amended],'' paragraph 3, line 18, correct ``Wheat, straw (EPA Region
11 only'' to read ``Wheat, straw (EPA Regions 9-12 only)''.
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 for making this technical
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because this action merely corrects an omission and does not otherwise
change the original requirements of the final rule. 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 August 14, 2015 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).
