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 

• Will not have disproportionate 

human health or environmental effects 

under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 

7629, February 16, 1994). 

This final redesignation does not 

apply to any Indian reservation land or 

in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), nor will it impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law. 

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 action 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. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

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 November 29, 2021. 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. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. See section 

307(b)(2).

Metaflumizone; Pesticide Tolerances; 

Technical Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the 

Federal Register of April 19, 2021, 

establishing tolerances for residues of 

the insecticide metaflumizone in or on 

multiple commodities requested by 

BASF Corporation under the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). 

That document inadvertently requested 

removal of tolerances for the crop group 

fruit, stone, group 12–12. This 

document corrects the final regulation. 

DATES: This correction is effective 

September 28, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to me? 

The Agency included in the April 19, 

2021 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 of April 19, 2021 (86 FR 20290) 

(FRL–10018–60) that established 

tolerances for residues of the insecticide 

metaflumizone in or on multiple 

commodities. While establishing 

tolerances in response to a petition 

requesting these tolerances, EPA 

included erroneous language in its 

instructions to the Federal Register, by 

directing the removal of the existing 

tolerance established in § 180.657 for 

‘‘Fruit, stone, group 12–12’’. Instead of 

instructing the Federal Register to 

Remove the entries for ‘‘Fruit, citrus, 

group 10–10’’; ‘‘Fruit, pome, group 11– 

10’’; and ‘‘Fruit, stone, group 12–12’’ the 

instructions should have only directed 

the removal of entries for ‘‘Fruit, citrus, 

group 10–10’’ and ‘‘Fruit, pome, group 

11–10’’. EPA’s instructions to remove 

the tolerances for ‘‘Fruit, stone, group 

12–12’’ were not consistent with its 

authority under FFDCA section 

408(d)(4)(A). Therefore, EPA is 

rescinding its instruction to remove 

‘‘Fruit, stone, group 12–12’’ and 

reinstating the tolerance level at 0.04 

parts per million. 

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 EPA 

inadvertently deleted the existing 

tolerance established for ‘‘Fruit, stone, 

group 12–12’’. 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 review, refer to Unit VI. of the 

April 19, 2021 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).

Arizona: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final action/decision/ 

authorization. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action on the authorization of Arizona’s 

changes to its hazardous waste program 

under the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes 

were outlined in an application to the 

EPA and correspond to certain Federal 

rules promulgated between July 1, 2007, 

and June 30, 2020. We have determined 

that these changes satisfy all 

requirements needed for final 

authorization. 

DATES: This authorization is effective on 

November 29, 2021 without further 

notice, unless the EPA receives adverse 

comment by October 28, 2021. If the 

EPA receives adverse comment, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the authorization will not take 

effect.
