[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

[[Page 33704]]

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

[[Page 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).

    (3) Chlorpyrifos [O,O-diethyl O-(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl) 
phosphorothioate] may be safely used in accordance with the following 
prescribed conditions.
    (i) Application shall be limited solely to spot and/or crack and 
crevice treatment in food handling establishments where food and food 
products are held, processed, prepared or served. Contamination of food 
or food contact surfaces shall be avoided. Food must be removed or 
covered during treatment.
    (ii) Spray concentration for spot treatment shall be limited to a 
maximum of 0.5 percent of the active ingredient by weight. A course, 
low-pressure spray shall be used to avoid atomization or splashing of 
the spray.
    (iii) Paint-on application for spot treatment shall be limited to a 
maximum of 2 percent of the active ingredient by weight.
    (iv) Crack and crevice treatment shall be limited to a maximum of 2 
percent of the active ingredient by weight. Equipment capable of 
delivering a pin-stream of insecticide shall be used.
    (v) Application via adhesive strips shall contain a maximum of 10% 
by weight of the controlled-release product in food-handling 
establishments where food and food products are held, processed, 
prepared, or served. A maximum of 36 strips (or 5.15 grams of 
chlorpyrifos) is to be used per 100 square feet of floor space. The 
strips are not to be placed in exposed areas where direct contact with 
food, utensils, and food-contact surfaces would be likely to occur.
    (vi) To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling 
shall conform to that registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and 
labeling.
    (4) A tolerance of 0.1 part per million is established for residues 
of chlorpyrifos, per se, in or on all food items (other than those 
already covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing 
crops) in food service establishments where food and food products are 
prepared and served, as a result of the application of chlorpyrifos in 
microencapsulated form.
    (i) Application of a microencapsulated product shall be limited 
solely to spot and/or crack and crevice treatment in food handling 
establishments where food and food products are prepared and served. 
All treatments shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid 
contamination of food or food contact surfaces.
    (ii) Spray concentrations shall be limited to a maximum of 0.5 
percent of the active ingredient by weight.
    (iii) For crack and crevice treatment, equipment capable of 
delivering a pin stream of spray directly into cracks and crevices or 
capable of applying small amounts of insecticide into cracks and 
crevices shall be used.
    (iv) For spot treatment, an individual spot shall not exceed 2 
square feet.
    (v) To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling 
shall conform to that registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and 
labeling.
