Chlorantraniliprole; 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 October 3, 2012, 

concerning the establishment of 

tolerances for the insecticide 

chlorantraniliprole on multiple 

commodities. This document corrects 

inadvertent errors and omissions. The 

corrections are further discussed in Unit 

II. 

DATES: This technical correction is 

effective December 21, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

The Agency included in the final rule 

a list of those who may be potentially 

affected by this action. 

II. What does this technical correction 

do? 

EPA issued a final rule in the Federal 

Register on October 3, 2012, 

establishing tolerances for residues of 

the insecticide chlorantraniliprole in or 

on multiple commodities. (77 FR 

60311). That rule incorrectly established 

tolerances for ‘‘Rapeseed subgroup 20B’’ 

and ‘‘Sunflower subgroup 20C.’’ Under 

EPA’s crop group regulation there are no 

such crop groups or subgroups. Rather, 

as correctly indicated several times in 

the preamble to the rule, including in 

the description of the action being taken 

by the Agency and the amendatory 

instruction for § 180.628, the correct 

regulatory crop subgroup designation is 

‘‘Rapeseed subgroup 20A’’ and 

‘‘Sunflower subgroup 20B.’’ The rule 

also incorrectly established the 

tolerance level for the Sunflower 

subgroup as 0.3 parts per million (ppm) 

instead of 2.0 ppm, as indicated in the 

preamble. Both the correct crop 

subgroup names and the 2.0 tolerance 

level for the Sunflower subgroup 

tolerance were included in the 

publication of the notice of the petition. 

(77 FR 20344, April 4, 2012). The 

October 3, 2012 rule also incorrectly 

established tolerances for ‘‘Vegetable, 

foliage of legume, group 7, forage’’ and 

‘‘Vegetable, foliage of legume, group 7, 

hay’’. Under EPA’s crop group 

regulation there are no such crop 

groups. Rather, there is only a crop 

group for ‘‘Vegetable, foliage of legume, 

group 7.’’ The petition correctly 

requested a tolerance for ‘‘Vegetable, 

foliage of legume, group 7.’’ Therefore, 

this correction is replacing those two 

incorrect crop group designations and 

tolerances with ‘‘Vegetable, foliage of 

legume, group 7’’ at a tolerance of 90 

ppm. 

In addition, despite indicating that 

EPA was granting the petitioner’s 

request for the revocation of existing 

tolerances made redundant by the 

establishment of crop group tolerances, 

EPA failed to remove from § 180.628 the 

tolerances for cotton, undelinted seed, 

and lunaria, seed, even though 

tolerances for Cottonseed subgroup 20C 

and Rapeseed subgroup 20A, which 

cover cotton, undelinted seed and 

lunaria seed were granted. Therefore, 

EPA is revoking the tolerances for 

cotton, undelinted seed, and lunaria, 

seed, to address these redundancies.

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 this 

action merely corrects erroneous crop 

group names and an erroneous tolerance 

level that were due to an inadvertent 

error. Both the correct crop group names 

and tolerance level received prominent 

notice in the published notice of the 

petition and in EPA’s preamble to the 

final rule. 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? 

No. For a detailed discussion 

concerning the statutory and executive 

order reviews, refer to Unit VI. of the 

October 3, 2007 final rule. 

V. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 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 action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
