Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 29 / Friday, February 12, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 7477 

Agency is establishing an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance 

without any numerical limitation. 

VI. Conclusions 

Therefore, an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance is established 

under 40 CFR 180.920 for benzyl 

aceetate (CAS Reg. No. 140–11–4) when 

used as an inert ingredient (solvent) in 

pesticide formulations applied to 

growing crops only. 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action establishes an exemption 

from the requirement of a tolerance 

under FFDCA section 408(d) in 

response to a petition submitted to the 

Agency. 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). Because this action 

has been exempted from review under 

Executive Order 12866, this action is 

not subject to Executive Order 13211, 

entitled ‘‘Actions Concerning 

Regulations That Significantly Affect 

Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 

FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive 

Order 13045, entitled ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997). This action does not 

contain any information collections 

subject to OMB approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

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

Since tolerances and exemptions that 

are established on the basis of a petition 

under FFDCA section 408(d), such as 

the exemption 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. 

This action directly regulates growers, 

food processors, food handlers, and food 

retailers, not States or tribes, nor does 

this action alter the relationships or 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities established by Congress 

in the preemption provisions of FFDCA 

section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency 

has determined that this action will not 

have a substantial direct effect on States 

or tribal governments, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the States or tribal 

governments, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government or between 

the Federal Government and Indian 

tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined 

that Executive Order 13132, entitled 

‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999) and Executive Order 13175, 

entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply 

to this action. In addition, this action 

does not impose any enforceable duty or 

contain any unfunded mandate as 

described under Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 

1501 et seq.). 

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 

(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). 

VIII. 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).

The information collection requirements 

afford broadcasters more flexibility in 

the manner of their compliance with the

Agriculture Acquisition Regulation, 

Fire Suppression and Liability 

AGENCY: Office of Procurement and 

Property Management, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Procurement 

and Property Management (OPPM) of 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) amends the Agriculture 

Acquisition Regulation (AGAR) by 

adding a new clause entitled ‘‘Fire 

Suppression and Liability.’’ Section 

8205 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 

(2014 Act) provided the USDA Forest 

Service with permanent authority for 

Stewardship End Result Contracting by 

adding a new Section 604 to the Healthy 

Forests Restoration Act of 2003. Section 

8205 contains a requirement that the 

agency use a fire liability provision in 

all stewardship contracts and 

agreements that is in substantially the 

same form as the fire liability provisions 

contained in the integrated resource 

timber contract in Forest Service 

Contract Numbered 2400–13, Part H, 

Section H.4. This final rule establishes 

a new clause in the AGAR, the USDA 

supplement to the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR), for use in Integrated 

Resource Service Contracts (IRSC) 

subject to the FAR. This new AGAR 

clause addresses fire liability on 

stewardship contracts as required in the 

2014 Agricultural Act. 

DATES: Effective March 14, 2016.

List of Subjects 

I. Authority 

The enactment of Section 8205 of the 

Agricultural Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113– 

79) establishes permanent authority to 

conduct Stewardship End Result 

Contracting projects by adding a new 

Section 604 to the Healthy Forests 

Restoration Act of 2003 (HFRA) (16 

U.S.C. 6591c). Section 8205 of the 2014 

Agricultural Act contains a requirement 

that the agency use a fire liability 

provision in all stewardship contracts 

and agreements that is in substantially 

the same form as the fire liability 

provisions contained in the integrated 

resource timber contract in Forest 

Service Contract Numbered 2400–13, 

Part H, Section H.4 and timber sale 

contracts conducted pursuant to Section 

14 of the National Forest Management 

Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 472a). 

II. Background 

Beginning in 1998 with the enactment 

of Section 347 of the Department of the 

Interior and Related Agencies 

Appropriation Act, 1999, the Forest 

Service has been authorized to carry out 

Stewardship End Result Contracting 

Projects; first on a pilot basis and then, 

through a succession of subsequent 

amendments, this authority was 

expanded. The enactment of Section 

8205 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 sets 

forth the permanent authority for 

conducting Stewardship End Resulting 

Contracting Projects by adding a new 

Section 604 to the Healthy Forests 

Restoration Act of 2003. Section 8205 

contains a provision that ‘‘not later than 

90 days after the date of enactment of 

this section, the Chief of the Forest 

Service and the Director of the Bureau 

of Land Management shall issue for use 

in all contracts and agreements under 

this section fire liability provisions that 

are in substantially the same form as the 

fire liability provisions contained in— 

(A) integrated resource timber contracts, 

as described in the Forest Service 

Contract Numbered 2400–13, Part H, 

Section H.4; and (B) timber sale 

contracts conducted pursuant to Section 

14 of the National Forest Management 

Act of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 472a).’’ 

This final rule establishes a new 

AGAR clause for use in stewardship 

contracts subject to the FAR. This clause 

addresses fire liability on Stewardship 

End Result Contracting, as required in 

the 2014 Agricultural Act. The text of 

the clause is closely specified in the 

law.

USDA solicited comments on the 

interim rule on May 22, 2014. USDA
