Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 27 / Friday, February 8, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 7475 

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 (59 FR 

22951, 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. Congressional Review Act 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Executive Order 12866 

The General Services Administration 

(GSA) has determined that this final 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

for the purposes of Executive Order 

12866 of September 30, 1993. 

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This final rule is not required to be 

published in the Federal Register for 

notice and comment. Therefore, the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act does not 

apply. 

C. Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Paperwork Reduction Act does 

not apply because this final rule does 

not impose recordkeeping or 

information collection requirements, or 

the collection of information from 

offerors, contractors, or members of the 

public which require the approval of 

OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. 

D. Small Business Reform Act 

This final rule is also exempt from 

Congressional review prescribed under 

5 U.S.C. 801 since it relates solely to 

agency management and personnel.
