**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

The Maryland Slag Company (now MultiServ) operates a blast furnace slag processing plant at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation’s (now ISG Sparrows Point) steel mill located in Sparrows Point, Baltimore County. Hot metal slag from Bethlehem Steel’s blast furnace that is not processed by the Atlantic Cement Company’s (now LaFarge North America) granulated slag cement plant is allowed to cool before being sent to the Maryland Slag processing facility. At the slag processing facility, slag is reduced in size with a crusher and segregated into different group sizes by a screening operation. The processed slag material is used as an aggregate material in road construction and parking lots. The slag processing facilityis subject to the requirements under SIPapproved regulation COMAR 26.11.10.04B(1) which prohibits the discharge of fugitive particulate matter emissions from iron and steel production installations unless reasonably available control measures are employed to minimize emissions.

In 1980, the Atlantic Cement Company proposed to construct a slag cement processing facility within the confines of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation’s Sparrows Point steel mill. At the time of the proposed project, the Sparrows point area was nonattainment for total suspended particulates (TSP). In order to construct the plant, the Atlantic Cement Company was required to secure particulate matter emission offsets. These offsets were obtained from the Maryland Slag Company and were formalized and made enforceable in the October 31, 1980 Consent Order. The October 31, 1980 Consent Order was approved as a SIP revision by EPA on September 8, 1981 (41 FR 44757).
II. Summary of SIP Revision

On February 13, 2007, the Maryland Department of the Environment submitted a formal revision to its SIP. The SIP revision consists of a request to remove the Consent Order, issued on October 31, 1980, to the Maryland Slag Company (now MultiServ). The Consent Order provided particulate matter offsets from the Maryland Slag Company to the Atlantic Cement Company. The 1980 Consent Order is no longer necessary because the affected facilities are no longer located in a nonattainment area for TSP, and the Atlantic Cement Company (now Lafarge North America) was re-permitted in 2001 demonstrating compliance with the more stringent national ambient air quality standard for particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns or less (PM 10). In addition, the Maryland Slag Company (now MultiServ) has reduced its annual PM emissions by reducing the material it processes from one million tons annually in 1980 to less than 100,000 tons annually today.

III. Final Action

EPA is approving MDE’s February 13, 2007 SIP revision to remove the October 31, 1980 Consent Order issued to the Maryland Slag Company (now MultiServ) because it is no longer required to satisfy any applicable Federal regulations and the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comment. However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are filed. This rule will be effective on July 2, 2012 without further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by June 1, 2012. If EPA receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. General Requirements

Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);

• Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. );

• Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. );

• Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);

• Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);

• Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);

• Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);

• 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 rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct


### 25903 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 2, 2012 / Rules and Regulations

costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
B. 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 804, however, exempts from section 801 the following types of rules: Rules of particular applicability; rules relating to agency management or personnel; and rules of agency organization, procedure, or practice that do not substantiallyaffect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties. 5 U.S.C. 804(3). Because this is a rule of particular applicability, EPA is not required to submit a rule report regarding this action under section 801. C. Petitions for Judicial Review

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 2, 2012. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules section of today’s Federal Register

, rather than file an immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action to remove the 1980 Consent Order for the Maryland Slag Company may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

**Thiamethoxam; Pesticide Tolerances; Technical Correction** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Final rule; technical correction.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of March 2, 2012, concerning the establishment of tolerances for the insecticide thiamethoxam on multiple commodities. This document is being issued to correct various typographical omissions, specifically, the omission of previously established tolerances for caneberry subgroup 13–07A; mustard, seed; onion, dry bulb; papaya; safflower, seed; and nut, tree, group 14.

**DATES :**  This final rule is effective May 2,
2012.

**ADDRESSES :**  EPA has established a docket for this action under docket identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– OPP–2010–1079. All documents in the docket are listed in the docket index available in http://www.regulations.gov

. Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are available in the electronic docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard copy, at the OPP Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S– 4400, One Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The Docket Facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

. II. What does this technical correction do?

This technical correction reinstates previously established tolerances for the insecticide thiamethoxam in or on: Caneberry subgroup 13–07A at 0.35 parts per million (ppm); mustard, seed at 0.02 ppm; nut, tree, group 14 at 0.02 ppm; onion, dry bulb at 0.03 ppm; papaya at 0.40 ppm; and safflower, seed at 0.02 ppm. These tolerances were inadvertently deleted from the table in paragraph (a) under 40 CFR Part 180.565 in the final rule establishing new tolerances for thiamethoxam on several commodities that published in the Federal Register of March 2, 2012 (77 FR 12731) (FRL–9331–8). III. Why is this correction 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 technical correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because the tolerances being reinstated in the table in paragraph (a) of 40 CFR 180.565 are permanent tolerances that were inadvertently omitted from that table in the course of a rulemaking that amended the table to establish several new tolerances. As part of that rulemaking, EPA prepared a revised table listing the current and new tolerances. In preparing the revised table, that contains tolerances on over 80 commodities, EPA inadvertently overlooked the tolerances identified in Unit II. It is clear on the face of the rulemaking document that the omission of the tolerances identified in Unit II
