Comptroller General
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action 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. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

A. General Requirements
EPA’s role with regard to negative
declarations for designated facilities
received by EPA from states is to notify
the public of the receipt of such
negative declarations and revise 40 CFR
part 62 accordingly. This action
approves the state’s negative declaration
as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. For that reason, this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Is not an Executive Order 13771
regulatory action because this action is
not significant under Executive Order
12866.
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by April 12, 2021. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action,
approving a negative declaration
submitted by MDE stating that there are
no Sewage Sludge Incineration (SSI)
units in the state of Maryland subject to
sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA,
may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements.

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This regulation extends timelimited tolerances for residues of the
pesticides clothianidin, methyl
bromide, and triclopyr in or on various
commodities, as identified in this
document. These actions are in response
to EPA’s granting of emergency
exemptions under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of these
pesticides. In addition, the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)
requires EPA to establish a time-limited
tolerance or exemption from the
requirement for a tolerance for pesticide
chemical residues in food that will
result from the use of a pesticide under
an emergency exemption granted by
EPA. Additionally, EPA is removing
time-limited tolerances for flonicamid
on prickly pear, fruit and pads at 1.5
ppm because this exemption will not be
renewed, and the tolerances will expire
by the effective date of this rule. EPA is
also making non-substantive
administrative revisions to the tolerance
listings for methyl bromide to update
the commodity terminology.
DATES: This regulation is effective
February 9, 2021. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received
on or before April 12, 2021 and must be

II. Background and Statutory Findings
EPA previously published final rules
establishing time-limited tolerances in
the Federal Register for the chemicals
and commodities listed, below, under
FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a.
EPA established the tolerances because
FFDCA section 408(l)(6) requires EPA to
establish a time-limited tolerance or
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
8701
exemption from the requirement for a
tolerance for pesticide chemical
residues in food that will result from the
use of a pesticide under an emergency
exemption granted by EPA under FIFRA
section 18. Such tolerances can be
established at EPA’s own initiative and
without providing notice or time for
public comment.
EPA received requests to extend
emergency uses of clothianidin, methyl
bromide, and triclopyr for this year’s
growing season. After having reviewed
these submissions, EPA concurs that
emergency conditions continue to exist.
EPA assessed the potential risks
presented by residues for each chemical
in the pertinent commodities. In doing
so, EPA considered the safety standard
in FFDCA section 408(b)(2) and decided
that the necessary tolerance under
FFDCA section 408(l)(6) would be
consistent with the safety standard and
with FIFRA section 18.
The data and other relevant material
have been evaluated and were discussed
in the final rules originally establishing
the time-limited tolerances. Based on
those data and information considered,
the Agency reaffirms that extension of
these time-limited tolerances will
continue to meet the requirements of
FFDCA section 408(l)(6). Therefore, the
time-limited tolerances are extended
until December 31, 2023. Although
these tolerances will expire and are
revoked on December 31, 2023, under
FFDCA section 408(l)(5), residues of the
pesticide not in excess of the amounts
specified in the tolerances remaining in
or on the commodities after that date
will not be unlawful, provided the
residue is present as a result of an
application or use of a pesticide at a
time and in a manner that was lawful
under FIFRA, the tolerance was in place
at the time of the application, and the
residue does not exceed the level that
was authorized by the tolerance. EPA
will take action to revoke these
tolerances earlier if any experience
with, scientific data on, or other
relevant information on this pesticide
indicate that the residues are not safe.
EPA will publish a document in the
Federal Register to remove the revoked
tolerances from the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR).
Time-limited tolerances for the use of
the following pesticide chemicals on
specific commodities are being
extended:
Clothianidin. EPA has authorized
under FIFRA section 18 the use of
clothianidin on citrus for control of the
Asian citrus psyllid in Florida and
Texas. This regulation extends a timelimited tolerance for residues of the
insecticide clothianidin and its
E:\FR\FM\09FER1.SGM
09FER1
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
8702
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
metabolites and degradates in or on
fruit, citrus, group 10–10 at 0.07 parts
per million (ppm) for an additional 3year period. This tolerance will expire
and is revoked on December 31, 2023.
The time-limited tolerance was
originally published in the Federal
Register of February 25, 2015 (80 FR
10003) (FRL–9919–59).
Methyl bromide. Pursuant to a request
by the US Department of Agriculture,
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service, EPA has authorized under
FIFRA section 18 the use of methyl
bromide on certain imported and
domestic commodities, post-harvest for
control of invasive non-indigenous
quarantine plant pests and to prevent
the introduction and/or spread of any
new or recently introduced foreign pests
to the United States. This regulation
extends time-limited tolerances for
residues of the pesticide methyl
bromide, including its metabolites and
degradates, in or on the commodities
identified in 40 CFR 180.124(b) (and
listed in the regulatory text section of
this document) at the levels listed for an
additional 3-year period. The tolerances
will expire and are revoked on
December 31, 2023. The time-limited
tolerances were originally published in
the Federal Register of March 1, 2018
(83 FR 8758) (FRL–9971–19) and
October 16, 2020 (85 FR 65729) (FRL–
10014–31).
In addition to extending these
tolerances, EPA is making several nonsubstantive revisions to 40 CFR
180.124(b). Entries for avocado, banana,
longan, lychee, pomegranate, rambutan,
and Spanish lime are deleted, because
these commodities are included in
Tropical and subtropical fruits, inedible
peel, group 24. This regulation also
revises certain commodity terms for
consistency with current crop groups
and commodity vocabulary as follows:
‘‘Tropical and subtropical fruits, edible
peel, group 23’’ will now read ‘‘Fruit,
tropical and subtropical, edible peel,
group 23’’; ‘‘Tropical and subtropical
fruits, inedible peel, group 24’’ will now
read ‘‘Fruit, tropical and subtropical,
inedible peel, group 24’’; and ‘‘Stalk,
stem and leaf petiole vegetables, group
22’’ will now read ‘‘Vegetables, stalk,
stem and leaf petiole, group 22’’. None
of the revisions discussed in this
paragraph change the amount of methyl
bromide residues permitted on any
commodity.
Triclopyr. EPA has authorized under
FIFRA section 18 the use of triclopyr on
sugarcane for control of divine
nightshade (Solanum nigresens) in
Louisiana. This regulation extends a
time-limited tolerance for residues of
the herbicide triclopyr and its
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:18 Feb 08, 2021
Jkt 253001
metabolites and degradates in or on
sugarcane, cane at 40 ppm for an
additional 3-year period. The tolerance
will expire and is revoked on December
31, 2023. A time-limited tolerance was
originally published in the Federal
Register of June 8, 2017 (82 FR 26599)
(FRL–9961–29).
The time-limited tolerances are being
removed at 40 CFR 180.613(b) for
residues of the insecticide flonicamid
and its metabolites in or on prickly pear,
fruit and pads at 1.5 ppm which expire
on December 31, 2020. The applicant
has not submitted a request for further
use of flonicamid on prickly pear. The
time-limited tolerances were originally
published in the Federal Register of
January 26, 2018 (83 FR 3610) (FRL–
9971–94).
III. 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 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 not
established any MRLs for flonicamid,
methyl bromide, or triclopyr on the
commodities listed in this document.
The Codex has established MRLs for
clothianidin in or on citrus at 0.07 ppm,
the same as the tolerance established for
fruit, citrus, group 10–10 in the United
States. Therefore, there are no
harmonization issues.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action establishes tolerances
under FFDCA section 408(e) and
408(l)(6). 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
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 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 under FFDCA sections
408(e) and 408(l)(6), 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).
V. Congressional Review Act

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), EPA has

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2020-0568; FRL-10017-55]
Extension of Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions; Multiple
Chemicals
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This regulation extends time-limited tolerances for residues
of the pesticides clothianidin, methyl bromide, and triclopyr in or on
various commodities, as identified in this document. These actions are
in response to EPA's granting of emergency exemptions under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) authorizing use of
these pesticides. In addition, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) requires EPA to establish a time-limited tolerance or exemption
from the requirement for a tolerance for pesticide chemical residues in
food that will result from the use of a pesticide under an emergency
exemption granted by EPA. Additionally, EPA is removing time-limited
tolerances for flonicamid on prickly pear, fruit and pads at 1.5 ppm
because this exemption will not be renewed, and the tolerances will
expire by the effective date of this rule. EPA is also making non-
substantive administrative revisions to the tolerance listings for
methyl bromide to update the commodity terminology.
DATES: This regulation is effective February 9, 2021. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before April 12, 2021 and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions
[[Page 8701]]
provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION).
ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket

II. Background and Statutory Findings
EPA previously published final rules establishing time-limited
tolerances in the Federal Register for the chemicals and commodities
listed, below, under FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a. EPA established
the tolerances because FFDCA section 408(l)(6) requires EPA to
establish a time-limited tolerance or exemption from the requirement
for a tolerance for pesticide chemical residues in food that will
result from the use of a pesticide under an emergency exemption granted
by EPA under FIFRA section 18. Such tolerances can be established at
EPA's own initiative and without providing notice or time for public
comment.
EPA received requests to extend emergency uses of clothianidin,
methyl bromide, and triclopyr for this year's growing season. After
having reviewed these submissions, EPA concurs that emergency
conditions continue to exist. EPA assessed the potential risks
presented by residues for each chemical in the pertinent commodities.
In doing so, EPA considered the safety standard in FFDCA section
408(b)(2) and decided that the necessary tolerance under FFDCA section
408(l)(6) would be consistent with the safety standard and with FIFRA
section 18.
The data and other relevant material have been evaluated and were
discussed in the final rules originally establishing the time-limited
tolerances. Based on those data and information considered, the Agency
reaffirms that extension of these time-limited tolerances will continue
to meet the requirements of FFDCA section 408(l)(6). Therefore, the
time-limited tolerances are extended until December 31, 2023. Although
these tolerances will expire and are revoked on December 31, 2023,
under FFDCA section 408(l)(5), residues of the pesticide not in excess
of the amounts specified in the tolerances remaining in or on the
commodities after that date will not be unlawful, provided the residue
is present as a result of an application or use of a pesticide at a
time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA, the tolerance was in
place at the time of the application, and the residue does not exceed
the level that was authorized by the tolerance. EPA will take action to
revoke these tolerances earlier if any experience with, scientific data
on, or other relevant information on this pesticide indicate that the
residues are not safe. EPA will publish a document in the Federal
Register to remove the revoked tolerances from the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR).
Time-limited tolerances for the use of the following pesticide
chemicals on specific commodities are being extended:
Clothianidin. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of
clothianidin on citrus for control of the Asian citrus psyllid in
Florida and Texas. This regulation extends a time-limited tolerance for
residues of the insecticide clothianidin and its
[[Page 8702]]
metabolites and degradates in or on fruit, citrus, group 10-10 at 0.07
parts per million (ppm) for an additional 3-year period. This tolerance
will expire and is revoked on December 31, 2023. The time-limited
tolerance was originally published in the Federal Register of February
25, 2015 (80 FR 10003) (FRL-9919-59).
Methyl bromide. Pursuant to a request by the US Department of
Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, EPA has
authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of methyl bromide on certain
imported and domestic commodities, post-harvest for control of invasive
non-indigenous quarantine plant pests and to prevent the introduction
and/or spread of any new or recently introduced foreign pests to the
United States. This regulation extends time-limited tolerances for
residues of the pesticide methyl bromide, including its metabolites and
degradates, in or on the commodities identified in 40 CFR 180.124(b)
(and listed in the regulatory text section of this document) at the
levels listed for an additional 3-year period. The tolerances will
expire and are revoked on December 31, 2023. The time-limited
tolerances were originally published in the Federal Register of March
1, 2018 (83 FR 8758) (FRL-9971-19) and October 16, 2020 (85 FR 65729)
(FRL-10014-31).
In addition to extending these tolerances, EPA is making several
non-substantive revisions to 40 CFR 180.124(b). Entries for avocado,
banana, longan, lychee, pomegranate, rambutan, and Spanish lime are
deleted, because these commodities are included in Tropical and
subtropical fruits, inedible peel, group 24. This regulation also
revises certain commodity terms for consistency with current crop
groups and commodity vocabulary as follows: ``Tropical and subtropical
fruits, edible peel, group 23'' will now read ``Fruit, tropical and
subtropical, edible peel, group 23''; ``Tropical and subtropical
fruits, inedible peel, group 24'' will now read ``Fruit, tropical and
subtropical, inedible peel, group 24''; and ``Stalk, stem and leaf
petiole vegetables, group 22'' will now read ``Vegetables, stalk, stem
and leaf petiole, group 22''. None of the revisions discussed in this
paragraph change the amount of methyl bromide residues permitted on any
commodity.
Triclopyr. EPA has authorized under FIFRA section 18 the use of
triclopyr on sugarcane for control of divine nightshade (Solanum
nigresens) in Louisiana. This regulation extends a time-limited
tolerance for residues of the herbicide triclopyr and its metabolites
and degradates in or on sugarcane, cane at 40 ppm for an additional 3-
year period. The tolerance will expire and is revoked on December 31,
2023. A time-limited tolerance was originally published in the Federal
Register of June 8, 2017 (82 FR 26599) (FRL-9961-29).
The time-limited tolerances are being removed at 40 CFR 180.613(b)
for residues of the insecticide flonicamid and its metabolites in or on
prickly pear, fruit and pads at 1.5 ppm which expire on December 31,
2020. The applicant has not submitted a request for further use of
flonicamid on prickly pear. The time-limited tolerances were originally
published in the Federal Register of January 26, 2018 (83 FR 3610)
(FRL-9971-94).
III. 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 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 not
established any MRLs for flonicamid, methyl bromide, or triclopyr on
the commodities listed in this document. The Codex has established MRLs
for clothianidin in or on citrus at 0.07 ppm, the same as the tolerance
established for fruit, citrus, group 10-10 in the United States.
Therefore, there are no harmonization issues.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This action establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408(e) and
408(l)(6). 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 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 under FFDCA
sections 408(e) and 408(l)(6), 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).
V. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA has submitted a report containing this rule
[[Page 8703]]
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).
