Pesticide Tolerances; Technical 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA has reviewed its 

pesticide regulations and is making 

changes in a number of areas. These 

changes will correct cross-references, 

remove expired tolerances, ‘‘reserve’’

tolerances due to the removal of expired 

tolerances. These changes have no 

substantive impact on any requirements. 

As such, notice and public comment 

procedures are unnecessary. 

DATES: This final rule is effective June 

15, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. 

II. What does this amendment do? 

This amendment makes changes in a 

number of areas within 40 CFR part 180, 

subpart C. In several sections within 40 

CFR part 180, subpart C, there is a 

paragraph (c) to address tolerances with 

regional registrations that incorrectly 

cross-references 40 CFR 180.1(m) as 

providing the definition of the phrase 

‘‘tolerances with regional registrations.’’ 

EPA recently made several changes to 

40 CFR 180.1 that resulted in a 

redesignating of the paragraphs in the 

section, including changing 40 CFR 

180.1(m) (defining the term ‘‘tolerances 

with regional registrations’’) to 40 CFR 

180.1(l). 75 FR 76284 (December 8, 

2010) (FRL–8853–8). No amendments 

were made to the body of 40 CFR 

180.1(m). In the same rulemaking that 

resulted in the redesignating of 40 CFR 

180.1(m), EPA should have amended 

the cross-references to 40 CFR 180.1(m) 

that appear throughout part 180. That 

change, however, was inadvertently not 

done. In this rule, EPA is now correcting 

that cross-reference wherever it appears 

in 40 CFR part 180 by changing it from 

‘‘§ 180.1(m)’’ to ‘‘§ 180.1(l).’’ 

This amendment revises certain 

sections in 40 CFR part 180, subpart C, 

to remove those time-limited tolerances 

that have expired based on the terms set 

in the tolerance. Since the tolerance is 

expired, it is no longer effective and 

should not appear in the regulation. 

This amendment reserves those 

paragraphs within specific sections in 

40 CFR part 180, subpart C that no 

longer have any tolerances listed due to 

the removal of expired tolerances. In 

some cases, this also results in some 

paragraphs being redesignated as well. 

This amendment removes those 

sections in 40 CFR part 180, subpart C 

that no longer have any tolerances listed 

due to the removal of expired 

tolerances. 

III. Why is this amendment issued as a 

final rule? 

Section 553 of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(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 final 

rule without providing notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. EPA 

has determined that there is good cause 

for making this amendment final 

without prior proposal and opportunity 

for comment, because notice and public 

comment are unnecessary. EPA is 

making only technical changes to 

correct cross-references rendered 

incorrect by a prior rulemaking, remove 

expired tolerances, reserve paragraphs 

within sections, and remove sections for 

which there are no longer any 

tolerances. None of these changes have 

a substantive effect on any requirement, 

or otherwise impose any new 

requirement, EPA finds that this 

constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B). 

IV. Do any of the statutory and 

executive order reviews apply to this 

action? 

This rule makes technical changes to 

40 CFR part 180, subpart C to correct 

cross-references, remove expired 

tolerances, improve the presentation 

and format of the regulation, and make 

other minor, non-substantive 

improvements to the regulation. Other 

than clarifying EPA regulations, these 

amendments are not expected to have 

any impact on regulated parties or the 

public because they do not change 

existing requirements or impose any 

new requirements. Accordingly, these 

amendments were not designated a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 

13653 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). 

Nor does it impose or change any 

information collection burden that 

requires additional review by OMB 

under the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.). 

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 or any other statute (See 

Unit III.), it is not subject to the 

regulatory flexibility 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) (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538). In 

addition, this action does not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments or impose a significant 

inter-governmental mandate, as 

described in sections 203 and 204 of 

UMRA. 

This rule will not have substantial 

direct effect 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 (65 

FR 67249, November 6, 2000). In 

addition, the agency has determined 

that his 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 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). 

Since this action is not economically 

significant under Executive Order 

12866, it is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 

1997), and Executive Order 13211 (66 

FR 28355, May 22, 2001). Nor does it 

require any special considerations to 

address environmental justice under 

Executive Order 12898 (55 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this action does not 

involve technical standards that would 

require the consideration of voluntary 

consensus standards pursuant to section 

12(d) of the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act 

(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272). 

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 the rule in the Federal 

Register. This final rule is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

To verify that GSA has met the 

requirements of the Federal Information 

Security Management Act of 2002 

(FISMA), GSA’s Office of the Inspector 

General (OIG) conducted an audit of 

GSA’s information and information 

technology systems. In regards to the 

regulatory process, a recommendation 

was made by the OIG to strengthen the 

requirements in contracts and orders for 

information technology supplies, 

services and systems. Working with the 

Office of the Chief Information Officer 

(CIO), the Office of Acquisition Policy 

developed the policy, guidance and 

requirements that would be utilized to 

protect GSA’s information and 

information technology systems, 

regardless of the location. The actual 

requirements are currently being 

utilized in solicitations, contracts and 

orders issued by the CIO; however, they 

were not included in the GSAR. By 

revising the GSAR to include these 

requirements, GSA is agreeing with the 

recommendation of the OIG and 

strengthens the protection of 

information and information systems.
