ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 180
[OPP-2002 -0037; FRL-6835-7]
RIN 2070-AB78
Pesticides; Removal of Duplicative or Expired Time-limited
Tolerances for Emergency Exemptions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is amending 40 CFR part 180 to remove time-limited
tolerances for several pesticides that were originally established to
support emergency exemptions issued under section 18 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). These time-limited
tolerances are being removed from 40 CFR part 180 because they have
since expired or because permanent tolerances have been established for
the pesticide and commodity covered by the time-limited tolerance. The
expired time-limited tolerance is obsolete, while the unexpired time-
limited tolerance covered by a permanent tolerance is duplicative. In
either case, the time-limited tolerance is unnecessary and is being
removed with this final rule to ensure that the regulatory listings of
tolerances is properly updated.
DATES: This rule is effective May 17, 2002. Objections and requests for
hearings, identified by docket control number
OPP-2002-0037, must be received by EPA on or before July
16, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Written objections and hearing requests may be submitted by
mail, in person, or by courier. Please follow the detailed instructions
for each method as provided in Unit I.C. of the "SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION" section. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, your
objections and hearing requests must identify docket control number
OPP-2002-0037 in the subject line on the first page of your
response.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
You may be affected by this action if you are an agricultural
producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer. Potentially
affected categories and entities may include, but are not limited to:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples of Potentially
Categories NAICS Affected Entities
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Industry 111 Crop production
112 Animal production
311 Food manufacturing
32532 Pesticide manufacturing
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in the table could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether or not this action might apply to certain entities. If you have
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
B. How Can I Get Additional Information, Including Copies of this
Document and Other Related Documents?
1. Electronically. You may obtain electronic copies of this
document, and certain other related documents that might be available
electronically, from the EPA Internet Home Page at http://www.epa.gov/.
To access this document, on the Home Page select "Laws and
Regulations," "Regulations and Proposed Rules," and
then look up the entry for this document under the "Federal
Register—-Environmental Documents." You can also go
directly to the Federal Register listings at http://www.epa.gov/
fedrgstr/. A frequently updated electronic version of 40 CFR part 180
is available at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfrhtml_00/Title_40/40cfr180_00.html,
a beta site currently under development.
2. In person. The Agency has established an official record for
this action under docket control number OPP-2002-0037. The
official record consists of the documents specifically referenced in
this action, and other information related to this action, including
any information claimed as Confidential Business Information (CBI).
This official record includes the documents that are physically located
in the docket, as well as the documents that are referenced in those
documents. The public version of the official record does not include
any information claimed as CBI. The public version of the official
record, which includes printed, paper versions of any electronic
comments submitted during an applicable comment period is available for
inspection in the Public Information and Records Integrity Branch
(PIRIB), Rm. 119, Crystal Mall #2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy.,
Arlington, VA, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,
excluding legal holidays. The PIRIB telephone number is (703)
305-5805.
C. How Can I Submit an Objection or Request a Hearing Under FFDCA?
Although section 408(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), allows
any person to file an objection or request a hearing when the Agency
issues a final tolerance action under section 408, EPA does not expect
that anyone will file an objection or request a hearing for this
particular rule because the tolerances being revoked here are
unnecessary duplicates of a permanent tolerance that remains in place
or are obsolete by their own terms. If, for some reason, anyone wishes
to file an objection or request for a hearing under section 408(g),
please follow the EPA procedural regulations which govern the
submission of objections and requests for hearings that appear in 40
CFR part 178. Note that the period for filing objections is now 60
days, rather than 30 days.
II. Authority
A. What is EPA's Authority for Revoking these Tolerances?
This final rule is issued pursuant to section 408(e) of FFDCA, as
amended by the FQPA (21 U.S.C. 346a(e)). Section 408 of FFDCA
authorizes the establishment of tolerances, exemptions from the
requirement of a tolerance, modifications in tolerances, and revocation
of tolerances for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on raw
agricultural commodities and processed foods. Without a tolerance or
tolerance exemption, food containing pesticide residues is considered
to be unsafe and therefore "adulterated" under section
402(a) of the FFDCA. If food containing pesticide residues is found to
be adulterated, the food may not be
[[Page 35046]]
distributed in interstate commerce (21 U.S.C. 331(a) and 342(a)).
B. Why is EPA Issuing this as a Final Rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(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 rule without providing
notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that
there is good cause for making today's rule final without prior
proposal and opportunity for comment because the actions taken in this
final rule represent technical corrections to the regulations and do
not involve substantive Agency action.
The removal of an expired time-limited tolerance from 40 CFR part
180 represents a simple correction of the regulations, and does not
involve any substantive Agency action. The expiration date for the
time-limited tolerance is set when the Agency issues the final rule
that originally establishes, or a subsequent final rule that amends,
the specific time-limited tolerance. Once that time-limited tolerance
expires, the associated listing in 40 CFR part 180 is obsolete and must
be removed to reflect that expiration.
The revocation of an unexpired time-limited tolerance from 40 CFR
part 180, however, represents a substantive Agency action. In this
case, that action is appropriate because the Agency's subsequent
establishment of a permanent tolerance for the same pesticide chemical
and commodity that was covered by the time-limited tolerance, causes
the time-limited tolerance to become obsolete. Although the time-
limited tolerance would expire by its own terms and become obsolete,
the Agency is removing these tolerances today to eliminate an
unnecessary duplication in the regulations.
For these reasons, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. EPA
finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
III. Overview of Today's Action
A. What Action is EPA Taking?
For each pesticide chemical and commodity combination listed below,
EPA previously established a time-limited tolerance, under section 408
of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a, as amended by the FQPA of 1996 (Public
Law 104-170). EPA established the tolerances because section
408(l)(6) of the 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 under section 18
of FIFRA. These time-limited tolerances are being removed from 40 CFR
part 180 today because they have since expired or because permanent
tolerances have since been established making these time-limited
tolerances obsolete or unnecessary.
B. Which Time-Limited Tolerances are Obsolete?
The time-limited tolerances for the following pesticide chemicals
on specific commodities are being removed from 40 CFR part 180 because
the time-limited tolerances have expired, or are duplicative of a
permanent tolerance that the Agency subsequently established for the
pesticide and commodity covered by the time-limited tolerance. In
either case, the time-limited tolerance is obsolete and no longer
necessary:

IV. Regulatory Assessment Requirements
This final rule removes obsolete or unnecessary time-limited
tolerances that were previously established under FFDCA section 408.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted tolerance
actions like this revocation from review under Executive Order 12866,
entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
Because this rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order
12866, this rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), or Executive Order 13211, entitled
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001).
Because the agency has made a good cause finding that this action
is not subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute (see discussion in
Unit II.B. of this preamble), it is not subject to the regulatory
flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)(5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)(Public Law 104-4). In addition, this
action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments or
impose a significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in
sections 203 and 204 of UMRA.
This action does not alter the relationships or distribution of
power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption
provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). This action will not have
substantial direct effects
[[Page 35048]]
on State or tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal
government and States or Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities between the Federal government and States or
Indian tribes. As a result, this action does not require any action
under Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), or under Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6,
2000).
Nor does it require 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); or Executive Order 12630, entitled Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights (53 FR
8859, March 15, 1988).
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 of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C.
272 note).
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)(44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).
In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to
eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation,
and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as required by
section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996).
V. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., 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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to make a rule
effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes
a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable,
unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. This determination must
be supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated in Unit
II.B. of this preamble, EPA has made such a good cause finding for this
rule, including the reasons therefor, and established an effective date
of May 17, 2002. 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 this final rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a "major rule" as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
