U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

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 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 Clean

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of

this action must be filed in the United

States Court of Appeals for the

appropriate circuit by July 23, 2001.

Filing a petition for reconsideration by

the Administrator of this final rule does

not affect the finality of this rule 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

Rodenticide Act authorizing use of these

pesticides. Section 408(l)(6) of the

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act

(FFDCA) requires EPA to establish a

time-limited tolerance or exemption

from the requirement for a tolerance for

pesticide chemical residues in food that

will result from the use of a pesticide

under an emergency exemption granted

by EPA.

DATES: This regulation is effective May

24, 2001. Objections and requests for

hearings, identified by docket control

number OPP–301125, must be received

by EPA on or before June 25, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written objections and

hearing requests may be submitted by

mail, in person, or by courier. Please

follow the detailed instructions for each

II. Background and Statutory Findings

EPA published final rules in the

Federal Register for each chemical/

commodity listed below. The initial

issuance of these final rules announced

that EPA, on its own initiative, under

section 408 of the FFDCA, 21 U.S.C.

346a, as amended by the Food Quality

Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) (Public

Law 104–170) was establishing timelimited tolerances.

EPA established the tolerances

because section 408(l)(6) of the FFDCA

requires EPA to establish a time-limited

tolerance or exemption from the

requirement for a tolerance for pesticide

chemical residues in food that will

result from the use of a pesticide under

an emergency exemption granted by

EPA under section 18 of the Federal

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide

Act (FIFRA). Such tolerances can be

established without providing notice or

time for public comment.

EPA received requests to extend the

use of these chemicals for this year’s

growing season. After having reviewed

these submissions, EPA concurs that

emergency conditions exist. EPA

assessed the potential risks presented by

residues for each chemical/commodity.

In doing so, EPA considered the safety

standard in FFDCA section 408(b)(2),

and decided that the necessary tolerance

under FFDCA section 408(l)(6) would be

consistent with the safety standard and

with FIFRA section 18.

The data and other relevant material

have been evaluated and discussed in

the final rule originally published to

support these uses. Based on that data

and information considered, the Agency

reaffirms that extension of these timelimited tolerances will continue to meet

the requirements of section 408(l)(6).

Therefore, the time-limited tolerances

are extended until the date listed below.

EPA will publish a document in the

Federal Register to remove the revoked

tolerances from the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR). Although these

tolerances will expire and are revoked

on the date listed, under FFDCA section

408(l)(5), residues of the pesticide not in

excess of the amounts specified in the

tolerance remaining in or on the

commodity after that date will not be

unlawful, provided the residue is

present as a result of an application or

use of a pesticide at a time and in a

manner that was lawful under FIFRA,

the tolerance was in place at the time of

the application, and the residue does

not exceed the level that was authorized

by the tolerance. EPA will take action to

revoke these tolerances earlier if any

experience with, scientific data on, or

other relevant information on this

pesticide indicate that the residues are

not safe.

Tolerances for the use of the following

pesticide chemicals on specific

commodities are being extended:

1. Diuron. EPA has authorized under

FIFRA section 18 the use of diuron, in

catfish ponds for control of blue green

algae in Arkansas and Mississippi. This

regulation extends a time-limited

tolerance for combined residues of the

herbicide, diuron (3-(3,4-

dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) and

its metabolites convertible to 3,4-

dichloroaniline in or on catfish fillets at

2.0 ppm for an additional 2–year period.

This tolerance will expire and is

revoked on June 30, 2003. A timelimited tolerance was originally

published in the Federal Registeron

July 30, 1999 (64 FR 41297) (FRL–6087–

2).

2. Terbacil. EPA has authorized under

FIFRA section 18 the use of terbacil on

watermelon for control of weeds in

Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. This

regulation extends a time-limited

tolerance for residues of the herbicide

terbacil (3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-

methyluracil) and its metabolites 3-tertVerDate 11<MAY>2000 16:26 May 23, 2001 Jkt 194001 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\24MYR1.SGM pfrm10 PsN: 24MYR1

terbacil in or on watermelon at 0.4 ppm

for an additional 2–year, 1–month

period. This tolerance will expire and is

revoked on June 30, 2003. A timelimited tolerance was originally

published in the Federal Register on

June 20, 1997 (62 FR 33557) (FRL–

6080–5).

3. Hydramethylnon. EPA has

authorized under FIFRA section 18 the

use of hydramethynon on pineapple for

control of big-headed and Argentine

ants in Hawaii. This regulation extends

a time-limited tolerance for residues of

the insecticide hydramethylnon;

tetrahydro-5,5-dimethyl-2-(1H)-

pyrimidinoine (3-(4-

trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1-[2-

[4(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethenyl)-2-

propenylidene) hydrazone in or on

pineapple at 0.05 ppm for an additional

2–year, 1–month period. This tolerance

will expire and is revoked on June 30,

2003. A time-limited tolerance was

originally published in the Federal

Register on March 4, 1998 (63 FR

10537) (FRL–5767–1).

4. Clopyralid. EPA has authorized

under FIFRA section 18 the use of

clopyralid on canola for control of

Canada thistle and perennial sowthistle

in Minnesota, Montana, and North

Dakota. This regulation extends a timelimited tolerance for residues of the

herbicide clopyralid in or on canola at

3 ppm for an additional 1–year, 11–

month period. This tolerance will expire

and is revoked on June 30, 2003. A timelimited tolerance was originally

published in the Federal Register on

May 16, 1997 (62 FR 26949) (FRL–5718–

2).

5. Imidacloprid—Blueberries. EPA has

authorized under FIFRA section 18 the

use of imidacloprid on blueberries for

control of oriental beetles and blueberry

aphids in New Jersey. This regulation

extends a time-limited tolerance for

combined residues of the insecticide

imidacloprid; (1-6-chloro-3-

pyridinyl)methyl-N-nitro-2-

imidazolidinimine) and its metabolites

containing the 6-chloropyridinyl

moiety, all expressed as parent in or on

blueberries at 1.0 ppm for an additional

2–year, 1–month period. This tolerance

will expire and is revoked on June 30,

2003. A time-limited tolerance was

originally published in the Federal

Register on July 21, 1999 (64 FR 39041)

(FRL–6088–3).

6. Spinosad. EPA has authorized

under FIFRA section 18 the use of

spinosad on cranberries for control of

sparganothis fruitworm in

Massachusetts. This regulation extends

a time-limited tolerance for residues of

the insecticide spinosad; Spinosyn A

(Factor A; CAS #131929–60–7) or 2-[(6-

deoxy-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-αφ-L-mannopyranosyl)oxy-13-[[5-(dimethylamino)-

dione in or on cranberries at 0.02 ppm

for an additional 2–year, 1–month

period. This tolerance will expire and is

revoked on June 30, 2003. A timelimited tolerance was originally

published in the Federal Register on

July 21, 1999 (64 FR 39053) (FRL–6086–

7).

III. Objections and Hearing Requests

Under section 408(g) of the FFDCA, as

amended by the FQPA, any person may

file an objection to any aspect of this

regulation and may also request a

hearing on those objections. The EPA

procedural regulations which govern the

submission of objections and requests

for hearings appear in 40 CFR part 178.

Although the procedures in those

regulations require some modification to

reflect the amendments made to the

FFDCA by the FQPA of 1996, EPA will

continue to use those procedures, with

appropriate adjustments, until the

necessary modifications can be made.

The new section 408(g) provides

essentially the same process for persons

to ‘‘object’’ to a regulation for an

exemption from the requirement of a

tolerance issued by EPA under new

section 408(d), as was provided in the

old FFDCA sections 408 and 409.

However, the period for filing objections

is now 60 days, rather than 30 days.

A. What Do I Need to Do to File an

Objection or Request a Hearing?

You must file your objection or

request a hearing on this regulation in

accordance with the instructions

provided in this unit and in 40 CFR part

178. To ensure proper receipt by EPA,

you must identify docket control

number OPP–301125 in the subject line

on the first page of your submission. All

requests must be in writing, and must be

mailed or delivered to the Hearing Clerk

on or before June 25, 2001.

1. Filing the request. Your objection

must specify the specific provisions in

the regulation that you object to, and the

grounds for the objections (40 CFR

178.25). If a hearing is requested, the

objections must include a statement of

the factual issues(s) on which a hearing

is requested, the requestor’s contentions

on such issues, and a summary of any

evidence relied upon by the objector (40

CFR 178.27).

Information submitted in connection

with an objection or hearing request

may be claimed confidential by marking

any part or all of that information as

CBI. Information so marked will not be

disclosed except in accordance with

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

A copy of the information that does not

contain CBI must be submitted for

inclusion in the public record.

Information not marked confidential

may be disclosed publicly by EPA

without prior notice.

Mail your written request to: Office of

the Hearing Clerk (1900), Environmental

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460. You

may also deliver your request to the

Office of the Hearing Clerk in Rm. C400,

Waterside Mall, 401 M St., SW.,

Washington, DC 20460. The Office of

the Hearing Clerk is open from 8 a.m.

to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday,

excluding legal holidays. The telephone

number for the Office of the Hearing

Clerk is (202) 260–4865.

2. Tolerance fee payment. If you file

an objection or request a hearing, you

must also pay the fee prescribed by 40

CFR 180.33(i) or request a waiver of that

fee pursuant to 40 CFR 180.33(m). You

must mail the fee to: EPA Headquarters

Accounting Operations Branch, Office

of Pesticide Programs, P.O. Box

360277M, Pittsburgh, PA 15251. Please

identify the fee submission by labeling

it ‘‘Tolerance Petition Fees.’’

EPA is authorized to waive any fee

requirement ‘‘when in the judgement of

the Administrator such a waiver or

refund is equitable and not contrary to

the purpose of this subsection.’’ For

additional information regarding the

waiver of these fees, you may contact

James Tompkins by phone at (703) 305–

5697, by e-mail at

tompkins.jim@epa.gov, or by mailing a

request for information to Mr. Tompkins

at Registration Division (7505C), Office

of Pesticide Programs, Environmental

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.

If you would like to request a waiver

of the tolerance objection fees, you must

mail your request for such a waiver to:

James Hollins, Information Resources

and Services Division (7502C), Office of

3. Copies for the docket. In addition

to filing an objection or hearing request

with the Hearing Clerk as described in

Unit III.A., you should also send a copy

of your request to the PIRIB for its

inclusion in the official record that is

described in Unit I.B.2. Mail your

copies, identified by docket control

number OPP–301125, to: Public

Information and Records Integrity

Branch, Information Resources and

Services Division (7502C), Office of

Pesticide Programs, Environmental

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.

In person or by courier, bring a copy

to the location of the PIRIB described in

Unit I.B.2. You may also send an

electronic copy of your request via email to: opp-docket@epa.gov. Please use

an ASCII file format and avoid the use

of special characters and any form of

encryption. Copies of electronic

objections and hearing requests will also

be accepted on disks in WordPerfect

6.1/8.0 file format or ASCII file format.

Do not include any CBI in your

electronic copy. You may also submit an

electronic copy of your request at many

Federal Depository Libraries.

B. When Will the Agency Grant a

Request for a Hearing?

A request for a hearing will be granted

if the Administrator determines that the

material submitted shows the following:

There is a genuine and substantial issue

of fact; there is a reasonable possibility

that available evidence identified by the

requestor would, if established resolve

one or more of such issues in favor of

the requestor, taking into account

uncontested claims or facts to the

contrary; and resolution of the factual

issues(s) in the manner sought by the

requestor would be adequate to justify

the action requested (40 CFR 178.32).

IV. Regulatory Assessment

Requirements

This final rule establishes timelimited tolerances under FFDCA section

408. The Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) has exempted these types

of actions from review under Executive

Order 12866, entitled Regulatory

Planning and Review (58 FR 51735,

October 4, 1993). This final rule does

not contain any information collections

subject to OMB approval under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any

enforceable duty or contain any

unfunded mandate as described under

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public

Law 104–4). Nor does it require any

special considerations under Executive

Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to

Address Environmental Justice in

Minority Populations and Low-Income

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,

1994); or require OMB review or any

other Agency action under Executive

Order 13045, entitled Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,

April 23, 1997). This action does not

involve any technical standards that

would require Agency consideration of

voluntary consensus standards pursuant

to section 12(d) of the National

Technology Transfer and Advancement

Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104–

113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

Since tolerances and exemptions that

are established under FFDCA section

408(l)(6) in response to an exemption

under FIFRA section 18, such as the

tolerances in this final rule, do not

require the issuance of a proposed rule,

the requirements of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et

seq.) do not apply. In addition, the

Agency has determined that this 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, entitled

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,

1999). Executive Order 13132 requires

EPA to develop an accountable process

to ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input

by State and local officials in the

development of regulatory policies that

have federalism implications.’’ ‘‘Policies

that have federalism implications’’ is

defined in the Executive Order to

include regulations that have

‘‘substantial direct effects on the 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.’’ This final rule

directly regulates growers, food

processors, food handlers and food

retailers, not States. This action does not

alter the relationships or distribution of

power and responsibilities established

by Congress in the preemption

provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4).

For these same reasons, the Agency

has determined that this rule does not

have any ‘‘tribal implications’’ as

described in Executive Order 13175,

entitled Consultation and Coordination

with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR

67249, November 6, 2000). Executive

Order 13175, requires EPA to develop

an accountable process to ensure

‘‘meaningful and timely input by tribal

officials in the development of

regulatory policies that have tribal

implications.’’ ‘‘Policies that have tribal

implications’’ is defined in the

Executive Order to include regulations

that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on

one or more Indian tribes, on the

relationship between the Federal

government and the Indian tribes, or on

the distribution of power and

responsibilities between the Federal

government and Indian tribes.’’ This

rule will not have substantial direct

effects 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.

Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not

apply to this rule.

V. 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 final

rule in the Federal Register. This final

rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by

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

Application Procedures

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This administrative final rule

amends the regulations pertaining to

execution and filing of forms in order to

reflect the new address of the California

and Montana State Offices of the Bureau

of Land Management (BLM). All filings

and other documents relating to public

lands in California and Montana must

be filed at the new address of the State

Offices. This rule will have no impact

or cost to the public. The benefits of the

rule are limited.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 24, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Kelly Odom, at (202) 452–5028. To

reach Ms. Odom, persons who use a

telecommunications device for the deaf

(TDD) may call the Federal Information

Relay Service at 1–800–877–8339, 24

hours a day, 7 days a week.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

administrative final rule reflects the

administrative action of changing the

addresses of the California and Montana

State Offices of BLM. It changes the

addresses for the filing of documents

relating to public lands in California

and Montana, but makes no other

changes in filing requirements.

Therefore, this amendment is published

as a final rule with the effective date

shown above.

Because this final rule is an

administrative action to change the

address for two BLM State Offices, BLM

has determined that it has no

substantive impact on the public. It

imposes no costs, and merely updates a

list of addresses included in the Code of

Federal Regulations for the convenience

of the public. The Department of the

Interior, therefore, for good cause finds

under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3)

that notice and public procedure

thereon are unnecessary and that this

rule may take effect upon publication.

Because this final rule is a purely

administrative regulatory action having

no effects upon the public or the

environment, it has been determined

that the rule is categorically excluded

from review under section 102(2)(C) of

the National Environmental Policy Act

(42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C).

This rule was not subject to review by

the Office of Management and Budget

under Executive Order 12866.

As required by Executive Order

12630, the Department of the Interior

has determined that the rule would not

cause a taking of private property. No

private property rights would be

affected by a rule that merely reports

address changes for BLM State Offices.

The Department therefore certifies that

this proposed rule does not represent a

governmental action capable of

interference with constitutionally

protected property rights.

Further, the Department has

determined under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.)

that it will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. Reporting

address changes for BLM State Offices

will not have any economic impact

whatsoever.

This rule does not contain

information collection requirements that

require approval by the Office of

Management and Budget under 44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

BLM has determined that this rule is

not significant under the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995, because

it will not result in the expenditure by

State, local, and tribal governments, in

the aggregate, or by the private sector, of

$100 million or more in any one year.

Further, this rule will not significantly

or uniquely affect small governments.
