[OPP–300756; FRL–6043–1]

RIN 2070–AB78

Consolidation of Certain Food and

Feed Additive Tolerance Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule transfers

certain of the pesticide food and feed

additive regulations that are now in 40

CFR parts 185 and 186 to part 180. EPA

is consolidating these regulations

because as a matter of law all of

pesticide tolerances are now considered

to be regulated under section 408 of the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

as amended by the Food Quality

Protection Act (Pub. L. 104–17) and they

no longer need to be separate. EPA is

also amending 40 CFR 180.1 by adding

a definition for the term ‘‘food

commodity.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is

effective on May 24, 2000.

C. ‘‘Good Cause’’ Finding

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 this rule contains

technical, non-substantive amendments

to 40 CFR. This rule transfers certain

pesticide tolerances currently in 40 CFR

parts 185 and 186 to 40 CFR part 180.

There are no changes to the tolerances

or to the commodities to which they

apply. In addition, there are no

reassessments of the adequacy of the

tolerances under the Federal Food,

Drug, and Cosmetic Act’s (FFDCA)

standards for safety. Thus, notice and

public procedure are unnecessary. EPA

finds that this constitutes good cause

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

II. Background

What Action is the Agency Taking?

EPA is transferring certain pesticide

tolerances currently in 40 CFR parts 185

and 186 to 40 CFR part 180.

Before the passage of the Food Quality

Protection Act (FQPA), pesticide

residues in food and feed were regulated

under two sections of the FFDCA.

Residues in raw agricultural

commodities were regulated under

section 408 of the FFDCA. The term

‘‘raw agricultural commodity’’ is

defined in section 201(r) of the FFDCA

as any food in its raw or natural state,

including all fruits that are washed,

colored, or otherwise treated in their

unpeeled natural form prior to

marketing. Pesticide residues in

processed food or animal feed were

regulated as ‘‘food additives’’ under

section 409 of the FFDCA. Because there

were legal differences in authority and

how and when tolerances could be

established under sections 408 and 409,

tolerances for the same pesticide could

appear in several parts of the Code of

Federal Regulations.

FQPA clarified the status of pesticide

residues and brought all pesticide

residues in food and feed under the

authority of section 408 of the FFDCA.

In addition, FQPA added a definition of

‘‘processed food’’ for the first time

(section 201(gg) of the FFDCA). The

term ‘‘processed food’’ is defined in

section 201(gg) of the FFDCA as ‘‘any

food other than a raw agricultural food

and includes any raw agricultural

commodity that has been subject to

processing....’’ Subsequent to the

passage of the FQPA, Congress, in the

Antimicrobial Regulation Technical

Corrections Act of 1988 (ARTCA) (Pub.

L. 105–324), amended the definition of

‘‘pesticide residue’’ in section 201(q) of

the FFDCA so as to exclude certain

antimicrobial pesticide residues in raw

and processed foods from the authority

of section 408. These residues now fall

within the coverage of FFDCA section

409. Since the statute has consolidated

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 24, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 33693

much of authority for and treatment of

pesticide chemical residues in food and

feed under FFDCA section 408, EPA is

now transferring those pesticide

chemical residue regulations established

under section 409 that pertain to

pesticide chemical residues now

covered by section 408 to the portion of

the CFR, part 180, in which section 408

tolerance regulations are collected.

EPA is transferring these pesticide

chemical residue regulations in stages.

A second document will be issued later

transferring additional pesticide

chemical residue regulations.

Eventually, all pesticide residue

regulations in parts 185 and 186 that

pertain to pesticide residues covered by

section 408 will be transferred to part

180, and users will be able to determine

all the section 408 tolerances for a single

pesticide chemical by referring to the

listings in part 180.

At the same time, EPA is creating a

general definition that it will use in

tolerance regulations to cover all the

types of food and feed commodities.

Henceforth, the term ‘‘food commodity’’

will be used to refer to raw agricultural

commodities (food and feed), processed

food commodities and processed animal

feed commodities. Accordingly, EPA is

adding the following definition to 40

CFR 180.1:

The term ‘‘food commodity’’ is

defined to mean:

(1) Any raw agricultural commodity

(food or feed) as defined in section

201(r) of the FFDCA; and

(2) Any processed food or feed as

defined in section 201(gg) of the

FFDCA.

This new definition merely

consolidates the existing terminology

used in the regulations and does not

have the effect of changing the scope of

any regulations under part 180 or the

regulations being transferred to part 180.

To the extent any existing regulations in

part 180 apply to pesticide chemical

residues that were transferred by

ARTCA from coverage under section

408 to section 409, EPA will work with

FDA, the agency that administers

section 409, to insure that these

regulations are identified and

transferred to a portion of the CFR

under FDA’s jurisdiction.

While EPA believes that it has

accurately transferred each of the

tolerances included in this rule, the

Agency would appreciate readers

notifying EPA of discrepancies,

omissions or technical problems by

submitting them to the address or e-mail

address under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. These would be corrected in a

future rule.

EPA is not at this time making any

changes in the tolerances or the

commodities to which they apply, nor is

EPA reassessing the adequacy of the

tolerances under FFDCA standards for

safety. Further, EPA is not at this time

standardizing the terminology used to

describe various food commodities. EPA

is aware that there may be

inconsistencies in the description of

food commodities among parts 180, 185

and 186. EPA will make such changes

when all tolerances have been

consolidated. No tolerances are revoked

by this rule. Duplicate tolerance entries,

which would be created by transferring

food and feed additive tolerances

established for the same food

commodity at the same tolerance level

from parts 185 and 186 to the

corresponding part 180 section, have

been deleted.

III. Regulatory Assessment

Requirements

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and

is therefore not subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget.

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, it is not subject to the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections

202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L.

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 rule does not significantly

or uniquely affect the communities of

tribal governments, as specified by

Executive Order 13084 (63 FR 27655,

May 10, 1998). This rule will not 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, as specified in

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,

August 10, 1999). This rule is not

subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR

19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not

economically significant.

This rule does not involve technical

standards; thus, the requirements of

section 12(d) of the National

Technology Transfer and Advancement

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not

apply. The rule does not involve special

consideration of environmental justice

related issues as required by Executive

Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16,

1994). 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).

EPA has complied with Executive Order

12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by

examining the takings implications of

the rule in accordance with the

‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk

and Avoidance of Unanticipated

Takings’’ issued under the executive

order. This rule does not impose an

information collection burden under the

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

IV. 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. 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. EPA has made such a good

cause finding, including the reasons

therefor, and established an effective

date of [insert 30 days from date of

publication in FR]. 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).
