SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

In the Federal Register of May 6, 1998

(63 FR 24949) (FRL–5789–3), EPA,

issued a final rule establishing an

exemption from the requirement of a

tolerance for residues of the

antimicrobial pesticide peroxyacetic

acid up to 100 ppm, in or on raw

agricultural commodities, in processed

commodities, when such residues result

from the use of peroxyacetic acid as an

antimicrobial agent on fruits, tree nuts,

cereal grains, herbs, and spices. The

word ‘‘vegetables’’ was omitted from the

specific tolerance exemption language

which is reproduced in five places of

the final rule. This document corrects

the final rule by inserting the word

‘‘vegetables’’ into each place that

contains the specific tolerance

exemption language.

II. Correction

In FR Doc. 98–12036 published on

May 6, 1998 (63 FR 24949), the word

‘‘vegetables, ’’ should be inserted after

‘‘fruits,’’ in the following places:

1. On page 24949, in the second

column, in the SUMMARY, in the ninth

line.

2. On page 24951, in the first column,

the paragraph under II. Aggregate Risk

Assessment and Determination of

Safety, in the fifth line from the bottom.

3. On page 24952, in the second

column, under C. Exposures and Risks,

in the paragraph numbered 1., in the

tenth line.

4. On page 24954, in the third

column, the first paragraph under IV.

Conclusion, in the eighth line.

III. Regulatory Assessment

Requirements

This final rule does not impose any

requirements. It only implements a

technical correction to the Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR). As such, this

action does not require review by the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) under Executive Order 12866,

entitled Regulatory Planning and

Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993),

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or Executive Order

13045, entitled Protection of Children

from Environmental Health Risks and

Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23,

1997). For the same reason, it does not

require any action under Title II of the

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4), Executive

Order 12875, entitled Enhancing the

Intergovernmental Partnership (58 FR

58093, October 28, 1993), or Executive

Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to

Address Environmental Justice in

Minority Populations and Low-Income

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,

1994). In addition, since this type of

action does not require any proposal, no

action is needed under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 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. 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 rule in

the Federal Register. This rule is not a

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2).
