Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
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).

Dated: January 20, 2022.
Marietta Echeverria,
Acting Director, Registration Division, Office
of Pesticide Programs.
Therefore, for the reasons stated in the
preamble, EPA is amending 40 CFR
chapter I as follows:
PART 180—TOLERANCES AND
EXEMPTIONS FOR PESTICIDE
CHEMICAL RESIDUES IN FOOD
1. The authority citation for part 180
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 21 U.S.C. 321(q), 346a and 371.
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
Register. This action is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
2. In § 180.960, amend table 1 by
adding, in alphabetical order, the
polymer ‘‘Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)-ahydro-w-hydroxy-, polymer with
poly(isocyanatoalkyl) benzene, alkylolblocked, number average molecular

GSA sought public comments on
improving FMR regulations through a
Federal Register document (MA–2017–
03) published on May 30, 2017, at 82 FR
24651. Concurrently, GSA sought
comments and recommendations from
agencies, GSA subject matter experts,
and other stakeholders and customers.
The two substantive/germane
comments and recommendations
elicited from the Federal Register
document were reviewed by GSA and
are addressed in this rule. Two other
recommendations addressing (1) agency
asset management systems and (2) use
of voluntary consensus standards were
not included in this rule as GSA does
not have the legal authority to
promulgate regulations addressing
property in use by an agency before it
is reported to GSA as excess personal
property.
Provisions in this final rule make the

property management more
understandable and easier to read. This
final rule addresses the following:
1. An amendment to FMR section
102–35.10, listing FMR parts related to
personal property disposal in sequence
so that the listing of FMR parts follows
the general life-cycle processes related
to asset management and disposal; and
2. Revisions to the regulations
governing the donation program to
incorporate legislation regarding
museums (Pub. L. 114–287, Section 23)
to ensure consistency with Federal law.
The donation program allows for the
transfer of Federal surplus personal
property to state agencies for surplus
property for distribution to eligible
recipients within their state.
II. Discussion of the Final Rule
A. Summary of Significant Changes
GSA is modifying provisions in the
FMR to improve readability and ease of
use.
B. Analysis of Public Comments
The proposed rule was published in
the Federal Register on June 9, 2020 (85
FR 35236). Four comments were
received, two of which were
substantive/germane to the rule. An
analysis of these public comments
follows:
Comment: One respondent indicated
that the proposed rule ‘‘is bad for the
environment and public safety’’ and
should not be implemented.
Response: These changes do not
involve environmental concerns or
public safety.
Comment: One respondent objected to
‘‘eliminating all definition references in
this proposed rule’’ and that it is
important to have definitions repeated
in each area that are critical for
understanding the requirements.
Response: Concur. The consolidation
of duplicative occurrences of definitions
has been removed from this final rule.

C. Expected Cost Impact to the Public
There is no expected cost to the
public from this rule, as this rule is
largely administrative. The changes will
result in a better user experience with
the FMR, as the information will be
organized in a more logical order.
III. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and
13563 direct agencies to assess all costs
and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and

equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule is not a significant
regulatory action, and therefore, was not
subject to review under Section 6(b) of
E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993.
IV. Congressional Review Act
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2). Additionally, this rule is
excepted from Congressional Review
Act reporting requirements prescribed
under 5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates to
agency management or personnel.
V. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
within the meaning of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. This
final rule is also exempt from the
Administrative Procedures Act per 5
U.S.C. 553(a)(2) because it applies to
agency management or personnel.
VI. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act does
not apply because the changes to the
FMR do not impose recordkeeping or
information collection requirements, or
the collection of information from
offerors, contractors, or members of the
public that require the approval of the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under 44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.

Museum means a public agency or
nonprofit educational or public health
institution that is organized on a permanent
basis for essentially educational or aesthetic
purposes and which, using a professional
staff, owns or uses tangible objects, either
animate or inanimate; and cares for these
objects. A museum is considered to be
attended by the public if the museum, at
minimum, accedes to any request submitted
for access during business hours. For the
purposes of this definition, a museum uses
a professional staff if it employs at least one
full-time staff member or the equivalent,
whether paid or unpaid, primarily engaged in
the acquisition, care, or public exhibition of
objects owned or used by the museum.
