[OPP–300753; FRL–6041–9]

RIN 2070–AB78

Consolidation of Certain Food and

Feed Additive Tolerance Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; Technical

amendments.

SUMMARY: The Office of Pesticide

Programs is transferring certain of the

pesticide food and feed additive

regulations that are now in 40 CFR parts

185 and 186 to part 180. These

regulations are being consolidate

because as amatter of law all of the

pesticide tolerances are now considered

to be regulated under FFDCA section

408 as amended by the Food Quality

Protection Act (Public Law 104–17) and

they no longer need to be separate.

DATES: These technical amendments are

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)(Public

Law 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

33704 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 24, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

409. Since the statute has consolidated

much authority for and treatment of

pesticide chemical residues in food and

feed under FFDCA section 408, EPA is

now transferring those pesticide

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.

Published elsewhere in this separate

part, EPA is transfering some of the

regulations from parts 185 and 186 to

part 180. With this document, all

tolerances have been transferred, and

users will be able to determine all the

tolerances for a single pesticide

chemical by referring to the listings in

part 180.

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 any comments 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 transfering 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.

The following distribution table

shows the new location of the

provisions formerly in parts 185 and

186 now in part 180.

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) (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 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 June 24, 2000. EPA will submit

a report containing this rule and other

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 24, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 33705

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).
