8700 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

requirements of the CAA and 40 CFR 

60.23(b) and 62.06. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

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). 

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

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). 

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. 

(See section 307(b)(2)).

Extension of Tolerances for 

Emergency Exemptions; Multiple 

Chemicals 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: 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 

filed in accordance with the instructions

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 timelimited tolerance for residues of the 

insecticide clothianidin and its 


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 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 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 

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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 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).
