VII. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report to each House of 

the Congress and to the Comptroller 

General of the United States. 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 this final rule in the 

Federal Register. This final rule is not 

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

II. Background 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

In the Federal Register of March 28, 

2012 (77 FR 18748) (FRL–9340–9), EPA 

issued a rule that proposed to revoke 

certain tolerances for the fungicide 

dicloran and the insecticide formetanate 

hydrochloride in follow-up to amended 

registrations that deleted specific uses, 

leaving no dicloran and formetanate 

hydrochloride registrations for those 

uses, and make minor revisions to the 

tolerance expressions for dicloran and 

formetanate hydrochloride and to 

specific tolerance nomenclatures for 

dicloran. Also, the proposed rule of 

March 28, 2012 provided a 60-day 

comment period which invited public 

comment for consideration and for 

support of tolerance retention under 

FFDCA standards. 

In this final rule, EPA is revoking 

certain tolerances because either they 

are no longer needed or are associated 

with food uses that are no longer 

registered under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

in the United States. Those instances 

where registrations were canceled were 

because the registrant failed to pay the 

required maintenance fee and/or the 

registrant voluntarily requested 

cancellation of one or more registered 

uses of the pesticide active ingredient. 

The tolerances revoked by this final rule 

are no longer necessary to cover 

residues of the relevant pesticides in or 

on domestically treated commodities or 

commodities treated outside but 

imported into the United States. It is 

EPA’s general practice to issue a final 

rule revoking those tolerances and 

tolerance exemptions for residues of 

pesticide active ingredients on crop uses 

for which there are no active 

registrations under FIFRA, unless any 

person in comments on the proposal 

indicates a need for the tolerance or 

tolerance exemption to cover residues in 

or on imported commodities or legally 

treated domestic commodities. 

EPA has historically been concerned 

that retention of tolerances that are not 

necessary to cover residues in or on 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
40814 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 11, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

legally treated foods may encourage 

misuse of pesticides within the United 

States. 

Generally, EPA will proceed with the 

revocation of these tolerances on the 

grounds discussed in Unit II.A. if one of 

the following conditions applies: 

1. Prior to EPA’s issuance of a FFDCA 

section 408(f) order requesting 

additional data or issuance of a FFDCA 

section 408(d) or (e) order revoking the 

tolerances on other grounds, 

commenters retract the comment 

identifying a need for the tolerance to be 

retained. 

2. EPA independently verifies that the 

tolerance is no longer needed. 

3. The tolerance is not supported by 

data that demonstrate that the tolerance 

meets the requirements under the Food 

Quality Protection Act (FQPA). 

In response to the proposed rule 

published in the Federal Register of 

March 28, 2012 (77 FR 18748), EPA 

received no comments during the 60- 

day public comment period. Therefore, 

EPA is finalizing the actions proposed 

concerning dicloran and formetanate 

hydrochloride in the Federal Register of 

March 28, 2012 (77 FR 18748) (FRL– 

9340–9). For a detailed discussion of the 

Agency’s rationale for the finalized 

tolerance actions, refer to the proposed 

rule of March 28, 2012. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

EPA’s general practice is to revoke 

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 

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. 

C. When do these actions become 

effective? 

As stated in the DATES section, this 

final rule is effective July 11, 2012. 

However, EPA is revoking the dicloran 

tolerance on potato with an expiration/ 

revocation date of December 31, 2014 

and the formetanate hydrochloride 

tolerances on apple; apple, wet pomace; 

peach; and pear with expiration/ 

revocation dates of December 31, 2013. 

The Agency believes that these 

expiration/revocation dates allow users 

to exhaust stocks and allow sufficient 

time for passage of treated commodities 

through the channels of trade. 

Any commodities listed in the 

regulatory text of this document that are 

treated with the pesticides subject to 

this final rule, and that are 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. 

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 that 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 

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 a MRL 

for formetanate hydrochloride or MRL 

for dicloran in or on potatoes. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

In this final rule, EPA revokes specific 

tolerances established under FFDCA 

section 408. The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 

type of action (i.e., a tolerance 

revocation 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 rule has been exempted from 

review under Executive Order 12866 

due to its lack of significance, this 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 final 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 104–13, 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 revocations 

of tolerances 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. This analysis 

was published on December 17, 1997 

(62 FR 66020) (FRL–5753–1), and was 

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 

rule, the Agency hereby certifies that 

this final rule will not have a significant 

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 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 11, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 40815 

joint probability of all eight conditions 

holding simultaneously with respect to 

any particular revocation. (This Agency 

document is available in the docket of 

the proposed rule, as mentioned in Unit 

II.A.). Furthermore, for the pesticides 

named in this final rule, the Agency 

knows of no extraordinary 

circumstances that exist as to the 

present revocations that would change 

EPA’s previous analysis. 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 final 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 FFDCA section 408(n)(4). 

For these same reasons, the Agency has 

determined that this 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 

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 rule. 

V. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report to each House of 

the Congress and to the Comptroller 

General of the United States. 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 this final rule in the 

Federal Register. This final rule is not 

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2).
