• 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). In addition, this proposed 1997 annual average PM 2.5 NAAQS data
determination for the Louisville Area does not have Tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIPs are not approved to apply in Indian country located in the states, and EPA notes that it will not impose
substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law.

II. Background

A. What action is the agency taking?

In accordance with current Agency practice to describe more clearly the measurement and scope or coverage of tolerances, including applicable metabolites and degradates, EPA is proposing minor revisions to tolerance expressions for a number of pesticide active ingredients, including the insecticides amitraz, bifenthrin, chlorfenapyr, cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, and pyridaben; the fungicide metalaxyl; the herbicides bentazon, quizalofop ethyl, sodium acifluorfen, and tebuthiuron; and the plant growth regulator ethephon. The revisions will not substantively change the tolerance or, in any way, modify the permissible level of residues permitted by the tolerance. Also, EPA proposes to remove several expired tolerances for quizalofop ethyl.

The amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408 in the Food Quality
Protection Act of 1996 clarified that a tolerance regulation for a pesticide chemical applies to that chemical as well as all metabolites and degradates of that chemical unless EPA specifies otherwise (21 U.S.C. 346a(a)(3)(C)). These amendments also specified how compliance with a tolerance level was
to be determined when a metabolite or degradate of a pesticide chemical not specifically mentioned in the tolerance was found in a food (21 U.S.C. 346a(a)(3)(B)). In light of these changes, EPA now generally follows an approach for drafting tolerance expressions that makes clear that the tolerance applies not only to the parent chemical but also to its metabolites and degradates and also specifies precisely what chemical
moieties are to be measured in determining compliance with the
tolerance levels included in the tolerance regulation. This approach
ensures that there is no confusion regarding what chemical moieties are authorized in food by the tolerance or how compliance with the tolerance
levels is to be determined. Under this approach, tolerance expressions would follow this general form:

Tolerances are established for residues of the [ insecticide, herbicide, fungicide, as appropriate] [pesticide chemical name], including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the
commodities in the table in this paragraph. Compliance with the tolerance levels specified in this paragraph is to be determined by measuring only [the designated chemical moieties], in or on the commodity.

This model has been followed for all of the pesticides named in this unit, and the actual language is set out in the proposed regulation text at the end of this document. The only additional changes proposed in this action are with regard to the pesticides bifenthrin, chlorfenapyr, cyfluthrin, and deltamethrin, and they are at the end of
this document.

Certain time-limited tolerances pertaining to the pesticide quizalofop ethyl in 40 CFR 180.441(a)(4) have expired, on June 14, 1999, due to previous EPA regulation setting expiration dates. Therefore, the Agencyis proposing to remove the expired timelimited tolerances for quizalofop ethyl in 40 CFR 180.441(a)(4) on beet, sugar, molasses; beet, sugar, roots; beet, sugar, tops; vegetable, foliage of legume, except soybean, subgroup 7A; and vegetable, legume, group 6. This rule only corrects the Code of Federal Regulations to conform with the fact that the tolerances already expired, and therefore EPA is not accepting comments regarding the expiration
itself.

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. 346a, as amended by 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. Without a tolerance or exemption, food containing pesticide
residues is considered to be unsafe and
therefore ‘‘adulterated’’ under section 402(a) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 342(a). Such food may not be distributed in interstatecommerce (21 U.S.C. 331(a)). 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. 136 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’s general practice is to propose
revocation of tolerances for residues of pesticide active ingredients on crops for which FIFRA registrations no longer exist and on which the pesticide may therefore no longer be used in the United States. EPA has historically been
concerned that retention of tolerances that are not necessary to cover residues in or on legally treated foods may encourage misuse of pesticides within the United States. Nonetheless, 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. However, where


### 34939 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2011 / Proposed Rules

there are no imported commodities that require these import tolerances, the Agency believes it is appropriate to revoke tolerances for unregistered pesticides in order to prevent potential

misuse.

Furthermore, as a general matter, the Agency believes that retention of import tolerances not needed to cover any imported food may result in unnecessary restriction on trade of pesticides and foods. Under section 408 of FFDCA, a tolerance may only be
established or maintained if EPA
determines that the tolerance is safe based on a number of factors, including an assessment of the aggregate exposure to the pesticide and an assessment of the cumulative effects of such pesticide
and other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity. In doing so, EPA must consider potential contributions to such exposure from all
tolerances. If the cumulative risk is such that the tolerances in aggregate are not safe, then every one of these tolerances is potentially vulnerable to revocation. Furthermore, if unneeded tolerances are included in the aggregate and cumulative risk assessments, the estimated exposure to the pesticide would be inflated. Consequently, it may
be more difficult for others to obtain needed tolerances or to register needed new uses. To avoid potential trade restrictions, the Agency is proposing to revoke tolerances for residues on crops uses for which FIFRA registrations no longer exist, unless someone expresses a need for such tolerances. Through this proposed rule, the Agency is inviting individuals who need these import tolerances to identify themselves and
the tolerances that are needed to cover imported commodities.

Parties interested in retention of the
tolerances should be aware that additional data may be needed to support retention. These parties should be aware that, under FFDCA section 408(f), if the Agency determines that additional information is reasonably required to support the continuation of a tolerance, EPA may require that parties interested in maintaining the tolerances provide the necessary information. If the requisite information is not submitted, EPA may issue an order revoking the tolerance at issue.

C. When do these actions become effective?

EPA is proposing that revision of specific tolerance expressions and removal of expired tolerances for quizalofop ethyl proposed herein
become effective on the date of publication of the final rule in the Federal Register . If you have comments, please submit comments as described
under **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION**

.

Any commodities listed in this proposal treated with the pesticides subject to this proposal, and in the channels of trade following the tolerance revocations, shall be subject to FFDCA section 408(1)(5), as established by FQPA. Under this unit, any residues of these pesticides in or on such food
shall not render the food adulterated so long as it is shown to the satisfaction of the Food and Drug Administration that:

1. The residue is present as the result of an application or use of the pesticide
at a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA, and

2. The residue does not exceed the
level that was authorized at the time of the application or use to be present on the food under a tolerance or exemption
from tolerance. Evidence to show that food was lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates when the pesticide was applied to such food.

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 U.N. 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 a MRL for chlorfenapyr, pyridaben, quizalofop ethyl, sodium acifluorfen, and
tebuthiuron.

The Codex has established MRLs for
amitraz in or on various commodities including edible offal of pigs at 0.2 milligram/kilograms (mg/kg). The MRL
is different than the tolerance
established for amitraz in the United
States because of differences in residue definition, use patterns, and/or good agricultural practices.

The Codex has established MRLs for
bentazon in or on various commodities including maize at 0.2 mg/kg, milk at 0.05 mg/kg, rice at 0.1 mg/kg, and sorghum at 0.1 mg/kg. These MRLs are
different than the tolerance established
for bentazon in the United States because of differences in animal commodity residue definition, plant use patterns, and/or good agricultural practices.

The Codex has established MRLs for
bifenthrin in or on various commodities including cattle fat at 0.5 mg/kg; cattle kidney and cattle liver at 0.05 mg/kg; cattle milk at 0.05 mg/kg; chicken eggs at 0.01 mg/kg; maize fodder at 0.2 mg/ kg; and strawberry at 1 mg/kg. These
MRLs are different than the tolerances
established for bifenthrin in the United States (where these commodity tolerances are higher than the corresponding Codex MRLs) because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.

The Codex has established MRLs forcyfluthrin (sum of isomers) and betacyfluthrin (cyfluthrin sum of isomers) in or on various commodities including citrus fruits at 0.3 mg/kg, citrus pulp (dry) at 2 mg/kg, liver of pigs at 0.05 mg/ kg, meat (from mammals other than marine mammals) at 1 mg/kg, fat of meat at 1 mg/kg, and chili peppers (dry) at 1 mg/kg. These MRLs are different
than the tolerances established for cyfluthrin and beta-cyfluthrin in the
United States because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.

The Codex has established MRLs for
deltamethrin in or on various commodities including fat from
mammals other than marine mammals at 0.5 mg/kg, poultry fat at 0.1 mg/kg, and tomato at 0.3 mg/kg. These MRLs
are different than the tolerances
established for deltamethrin in the
United States because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.

The Codex has established MRLs for
esfenvalerate in or on various commodities including egg, poultry fat, poultry meat, and edible offal of poultry at 0.01 mg/kg. These MRLs are different
than the tolerances established for
esfenvalerate in the United States (where these animal commodity tolerances are higher than the corresponding Codex MRLs) because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.

The Codex has established MRLs for ethephon in or on various commodities including meat of cattle, goats, horses, pigs, and sheep at 0.1 mg/kg, milk of cattle, goats, and sheep at 0.05 mg/kg, poultry meat at 0.1 mg/kg, edible offal of poultry at 0.2 mg/kg, and chicken eggs at 0.2 mg/kg. These MRLs are
different than the tolerances established for ethephon in the United States because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.


### 34940 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 15, 2011 / Proposed Rules

The Codex has established MRLs for fenpropathrin in or on various commodities including cattle meat at 0.5 mg/kg. The MRL is different than the tolerance established for fenpropathrin
in the United States because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.

The Codex has established MRLs for metalaxyl in or on various commodities including citrus fruits at 5 mg/kg, dry chili peppers at 10 mg/kg, and pome fruits at 1 mg/kg. These MRLs are
different than the tolerances established for metalaxyl in the United States because of differences in use patterns and/or good agricultural practices.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order

Reviews

In this proposed rule, EPA is proposing to revise specific tolerance expressions to describe more clearly the measurement and scope or coverage of the tolerances and remove expired tolerances for quizalofop ethyl. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions ( e.g., tolerance actions for which extraordinary circumstances do not exist) from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this proposed rule has been exempted from review
under Executive Order 12866 due to its lack of significance, this proposed rule 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). This proposed 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) (Pub. L. 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, exemptions from tolerances, raising of tolerance levels, expansion of exemptions, or revocations 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. These analyses
for tolerance establishments and modifications, and for tolerance revocations were published on May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950) and on December 17, 1997 (62 FR 66020) (FRL–5753–1), respectively, and were provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. Taking into account this analysis, and available information concerning the pesticides listed in this proposed rule, the Agency hereby certifies that this proposed rule will not have a significant negative economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. In a memorandum dated May 25, 2001, EPA determined that eight conditions must all be satisfied in order for an import tolerance or tolerance exemption revocation to adversely affect a significant number of small entity importers, and that there is a negligible joint probability of all eight conditions holding simultaneously with respect to any particular revocation. (This Agency
document is available in the docket of this proposed rule). Furthermore, for the pesticide named in this proposed rule, the Agency knows of no extraordinary
circumstances that exist as to the present proposal that would change the EPA’s previous analysis. Any comments about the Agency’s determination should be submitted to the EPA along with comments on the proposal, and will be addressed prior to issuing a final rule. 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 proposed 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 proposed 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 9, 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 proposed 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 proposed rule.
