63954 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132, entitled 

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999). Executive Order 13132 requires 

EPA to develop an accountable process 

to ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input 

by State and local officials in the 

development of regulatory policies that 

have federalism implications.’’ ‘‘Policies 

that have federalism implications’’ is 

defined in the Executive Order to 

include regulations that have 

‘‘substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government.’’ This final rule 

directly regulates growers, food 

processors, food handlers and food 

retailers, not States. This action does not 

alter the relationships or distribution of 

power and responsibilities established 

by Congress in the preemption 

provisions of section 408(n)(4) of the 

FFDCA. For these same reasons, the 

Agency has determined that this rule 

does not have any ‘‘tribal implications’’

as described in Executive Order 13175, 

entitled Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 

67249, November 6, 2000). Executive 

Order 13175, requires EPA to develop 

an accountable process to ensure 

‘‘meaningful and timely input by tribal 

officials in the development of 

regulatory policies that have tribal 

implications.’’ ‘‘Policies that have tribal 

implications’’ is defined in the 

Executive Order to include regulations 

that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on 

one or more Indian tribes, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and the Indian tribes, or on 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes.’’ This 

rule will not have substantial direct 

effects on tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175. 

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 

apply to this rule.

X. Congressional Review Act

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 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).

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

In the Federal Register of May 12, 

2004 (69 FR 26348) (FRL–7358–8), EPA 

issued a proposal to correct an 

inadvertent error and reinstate the 

tolerances in 40 CFR 180.439 for 

residues of thifensulfuron-methyl in or 

on corn, field, forage at 0.1 parts per 

million (ppm); corn, field, stover at 0.1 

ppm; and corn, field, grain at 0.05 ppm. 

Also, the May 12, 2004 proposal 

provided a 60–day comment period 

which invited public comment. In 

response to the proposal published in 

the Federal Register of May 12, 2004 (69 

FR 26348), EPA received one comment 

as follows: 

Comment. On May 21, 2004, a private 

citizen from New Jersey objected to 

‘‘any residue allowed or any exemption 

to produce this product’’ and expressed 

a general concern for chemicals and 

their toxic effects in humans, air, water, 

and soil.

Agency response. The comment did 

not address the inadvertent or improper 

removal of the established corn 

tolerances for thifensulfuron-methyl. 

EPA did not propose the approval of a 

new chemical but rather proposed the 

reinstatement of the corn tolerances in 

40 CFR 180.439 to correct their 

inadvertent removal in 1994. For a fooduse pesticide to be sold and distributed, 

the pesticide must not only have 

appropriate tolerances under the 

FFDCA, but also must be registered 

under FIFRA (7 U.S.C. et seq.). Active 

registrations for use of thifensulfuronmethyl on corn have existed since 1994.

In accordance with current Agency 

practice, the commodity terminologies 

for the tolerances should be revised 

from ‘‘corn forage, field ’’ to ‘‘corn, field, 

forage’’; ‘‘corn grain, field ’’ to ‘‘corn, 

field, grain’’; and ‘‘corn fodder, field ’’

to ‘‘corn, field, stover.’’ Therefore, in 

this final rule, EPA is correcting the 

inadvertent removal and is reinstating 

the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.439 for 

residues of the herbicide thifensulfuronmethyl in or on corn, field, forage at 0.1 

ppm; corn, field, stover at 0.1 ppm; and 

corn, field, grain at 0.05 ppm.

On September 17, 2004 (69 FR 55975) 

(FRL–7679–4), EPA published a final 

rule in the Federal Register that 

established tolerances for residues of 

thifensulfuron-methyl in or on canola, 

seed; cotton, gin byproducts; cotton, 

undelinted seed; and flax, seed. Also, 

EPA determined that 10 tolerances for 

thifensulfuron-methyl, including the 

three corn tolerances reinstated herein, 

are considered reassessed according to 

FQPA standards.

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action?

A tolerance represents the maximum 

level for residues of pesticide chemicals 

legally allowed in or on raw agricultural 

commodities and processed foods. 

Section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 301 et 

seq., as amended by the FQPA of 1996, 

Public Law 104–170, authorizes the 

establishment of tolerances, exemptions 

from tolerance requirements, 

modifications in tolerances, and 

revocation of tolerances for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on raw 

agricultural commodities and processed 

foods (21 U.S.C. 346(a)). Without a 

tolerance or exemption, food containing 

pesticide residues is considered to be 

unsafe and therefore adulterated under 

section 402(a) of the FFDCA. Such food 

may not be distributed in interstate 

commerce (21 U.S.C. 331(a) and 342(a)). 

For a food-use pesticide to be sold and 

distributed, the pesticide must not only 

have appropriate tolerances under the 

FFDCA, but also must be registered 

under FIFRA (7 U.S.C. et seq.). Food-use 

pesticides not registered in the United 

States must have tolerances in order for 

commodities treated with those 

pesticides to be imported into the 

United States. EPA will establish and 

maintain tolerances even when 

corresponding domestic uses are 

canceled if the tolerances, which EPA 

refers to as import tolerances, are 

necessary to allow importation into the 

United States of food containing such 

pesticide residues.

C. When Do These Actions Become 

Effective?

EPA is reinstating the three corn 

tolerances for thifensulfuron-methyl 

effective November 3, 2004.

III. Objections and Hearing Requests

Under section 408(g) of FFDCA, as 

amended by FQPA, any person may file 

an objection to any aspect of this 

regulation and may also request a 

hearing on those objections. The EPA 

procedural regulations which govern the 

submission of objections and requests 

for hearings appear in 40 CFR part 178. 

Although the procedures in those 

regulations require some modification to 

reflect the amendments made to FFDCA 

by FQPA, EPA will continue to use 

those procedures, with appropriate 

adjustments, until the necessary 

modifications can be made. The new 

section 408(g) of FFDCA provides 

essentially the same process for persons 

to ‘‘object’’ to a regulation for an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance issued by EPA under new 

section 408(d) of FFDCA, as was 

provided in the old sections 408 and 

409 of FFDCA. However, the period for 

filing objections is now 60 days, rather 

than 30 days.

A. What Do I Need to Do to File an 

Objection or Request a Hearing?

You must file your objection or 

request a hearing on this regulation in 

accordance with the instructions 

provided in this unit and in 40 CFR part 

178. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

you must identify docket ID number 

OPP–2004–0206 in the subject line on 

the first page of your submission. All 

requests must be in writing, and must be 

mailed or delivered to the Hearing Clerk 

on or before January 3, 2005.

1. Filing the request. Your objection 

must specify the specific provisions in 

the regulation that you object to, and the 

grounds for the objections (40 CFR 

178.25). If a hearing is requested, the 

objections must include a statement of 

the factual issues(s) on which a hearing 

is requested, the requestor’s contentions 

on such issues, and a summary of any 

evidence relied upon by the objector (40 

CFR 178.27). Information submitted in 

connection with an objection or hearing 

request may be claimed confidential by 

marking any part or all of that 

information as CBI. Information so 

marked will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. A copy of the 

information that does not contain CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public record. Information not marked 

confidential may be disclosed publicly 

by EPA without prior notice.

Mail your written request to: Office of 

the Hearing Clerk (1900L), 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, 

DC 20460–0001. You may also deliver 

your request to the Office of the Hearing 

Clerk in Suite 350, 1099 14th St., NW., 

Washington, DC 20005. The Office of 

the Hearing Clerk is open from 8 a.m. 

to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

63956 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 3, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

excluding legal holidays. The telephone 

number for the Office of the Hearing 

Clerk is (202) 564–6255.

2. Copies for the Docket. In addition 

to filing an objection or hearing request 

with the Hearing Clerk as described in 

Unit III.A., you should also send a copy 

of your request to the PIRIB for its 

inclusion in the official record that is 

described in ADDRESSES. Mail your 

copies, identified by docket ID number 

OPP–2004–0206, to: Public Information 

and Records Integrity Branch, 

Information Resources and Services 

Division (7502C), Office of Pesticide 

Programs, Environmental Protection 

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC 20460–0001. In person 

or by courier, bring a copy to the 

location of the PIRIB described in 

ADDRESSES. You may also send an 

electronic copy of your request via email to: opp-docket@epa.gov. Please use 

an ASCII file format and avoid the use 

of special characters and any form of 

encryption. Copies of electronic 

objections and hearing requests will also 

be accepted on disks in WordPerfect 

6.1/8.0 or ASCII file format. Do not 

include any CBI in your electronic copy. 

You may also submit an electronic copy 

of your request at many Federal 

Depository Libraries.

B. When Will the Agency Grant a 

Request for a Hearing?

A request for a hearing will be granted 

if the Administrator determines that the 

material submitted shows the following: 

There is a genuine and substantial issue 

of fact; there is a reasonable possibility 

that available evidence identified by the 

requestor would, if established resolve 

one or more of such issues in favor of 

the requestor, taking into account 

uncontested claims or facts to the 

contrary; and resolution of the factual 

issues(s) in the manner sought by the 

requestor would be adequate to justify 

the action requested (40 CFR 178.32).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews

This final rule reinstates specific 

tolerances established under section 408 

of FFDCA. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 

type of action 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 due to its 

lack of significance, this rule is not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This final rule does not 

contain any information collections 

subject to OMB approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any 

enforceable duty or contain any 

unfunded mandate as described under 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public 

Law 104–4). Nor does it require any 

special considerations as required by 

Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal 

Actions to Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994); or OMB review or 

any other Agency action under 

Executive Order 13045, entitled 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). 

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). Pursuant to 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the Agency 

previously assessed whether 

establishment of tolerances might 

significantly impact a substantial 

number of small entities and concluded 

that, as a general matter, these actions 

do not impose a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. This analysis was published on 

May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950), and was 

provided to the Chief Counsel for 

Advocacy of the Small Business 

Administration. Taking into account 

this analysis, and available information 

concerning the pesticide listed in this 

rule, the Agency hereby certifies that 

this final rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Furthermore, 

for the pesticide named in this final 

rule, the Agency knows of no 

extraordinary circumstances that exist 

as to the present reinstatement that 

would change EPA’s previous analysis. 

In addition, the Agency has determined 

that this action will not have a 

substantial direct effect on States, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132, entitled 

Federalism(64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999). Executive Order 13132 requires 

EPA to develop an accountable process 

to ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input 

by State and local officials in the 

development of regulatory policies that 

have federalism implications.’’ ‘‘Policies 

that have federalism implications’’ is 

defined in the Executive Order to 

include regulations that have 

‘‘substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government.’’ This final rule 

directly regulates growers, food 

processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, not States. This action does not 

alter the relationships or distribution of 

power and responsibilities established 

by Congress in the preemption 

provisions of section 408(n)(4) of 

FFDCA. For these same reasons, the 

Agency has determined that this rule 

does not have any ‘‘tribal implications’’

as described in Executive Order 13175, 

entitled Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 

67249, November 6, 2000). Executive 

Order 13175, requires EPA to develop 

an accountable process to ensure 

‘‘meaningful and timely input by tribal 

officials in the development of 

regulatory policies that have tribal 

implications.’’ ‘‘Policies that have tribal 

implications’’ is defined in the 

Executive Order to include regulations 

that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on 

one or more Indian tribes, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and the Indian tribes, or on 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes.’’ This 

rule will not have substantial direct 

effects on tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, as 

specified in Executive Order 13175. 

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 

apply to this rule.

V. Congressional Review Act

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 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA is 

correcting errors in the MY 2002 theft 

data published in the Federal Register

on September 1, 2004 (69 FR 53354). 

Specifically, NHTSA is correcting the 

typographical errors provided for the 

Saab 9–3 and Saab 9–5 vehicle lines 

respectively. The following corrections 

are to be made to page 53358 of the 

notice document: 

1. On line number 157, in the 3rd 

column under Make/model (line), 

‘‘38233’’ should read ‘‘9–3’’. 

2. On line number 198, in the 3rd 

column under Make/model (line), 

‘‘38235’’ should read ‘‘9–5’’. 

Since the corrections made by this 

document are only to inform the public 

of previous agency actions, and do not 

impose any additional obligations on 

any party, NHTSA finds for good cause 

that the revisions made by this notice 

should be effective as soon as this notice 

is published in the Federal Register.
