Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 209 / Monday, October 29, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
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 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 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
Register. This action is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

alphabetically the commodities, ‘‘Leaf
petiole vegetable subgroup 22B’’;
‘‘Peppermint, fresh leaves’’;
‘‘Peppermint, oil’’; ‘‘Soybean, vegetable,

§ 180.659 Pyroxasulfone; tolerances for
residues.
(a) * * *

(c) Tolerance with regional
registrations. Tolerances are established
for residues of the herbicide
pyroxasulfone, including its metabolites
and degradates, in or on the
commodities in the table below.
Compliance with the tolerance levels
specified below is to be determined by
measuring only the sum of
pyroxasulfone (3-[(5-difluoromethoxy-1methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-4ylmethylsulfonyl]-4,5-dihydro-5,5dimethyl-1,2-oxazole), and its
metabolites, M–1 (5-difluoromethoxy-1methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-4yl)methanesulfonic acid), M–3 (5difluoromethoxy-1-methyl-3trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-carboxylic
acid), M–25 (5-difluoromethoxy-3trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-4yl)methanesulfonic acid) and M–28 (3[1-carboxy-2-(5,5-dimethyl-4,5dihydroisoxazol-3-ylthio)ethylamino]-3oxopropanoic acid) calculated as the
stoichiometric equivalent of
pyroxasulfone, in or on the commodity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations governing the summer
flounder fishery are found in 50 CFR
648.100 through 648.110. These
regulations require annual specification
of a commercial quota that is
apportioned among the coastal states
from Maine through North Carolina. The
process to set the annual commercial
quota and the percent allocated to each
state is described in § 648.102, and the
initial 2018 allocations were published
on December 22, 2017 (82 FR 60682),

Fishery Management Plan, as published
in the Federal Register on December 17,
1993 (58 FR 65936), provided a
mechanism for transferring summer
flounder commercial quota from one
state to another. Two or more states,
under mutual agreement and with the
concurrence of the NMFS Greater
Atlantic Regional Administrator, can
transfer or combine summer flounder
commercial quota under § 648.102(c)(2).
The Regional Administrator is required
to consider the criteria in
§ 648.102(c)(2)(i)(A) through (C) in the
evaluation of requests for quota transfers
or combinations.
North Carolina is transferring 3,844 lb
(1,744 kg) of summer flounder
commercial quota to New York through
mutual agreement of the states. This
transfer was requested to repay landings
