Hexythiazox; Pesticide Tolerances; Technical Correction, 75430-75431 [2015-30514]

Download as PDF 75430 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. jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES 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 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Register. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

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)’’.

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.

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).
