 Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 180
[EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0756; FRL-8844-7]
 AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
 ACTION: Final rule.
 SUMMARY: EPA is issuing this technical amendment to change references in several sections of 40 CFR part 180. These changes are necessary because of a final rule which was issued in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                         of June 8, 2005. That final rule made miscellaneous changes to 40 CFR part 180 to update generic provisions of EPA's procedural regulations relating to pesticide chemicals. The update was made necessary because of various changes made by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.
 DATES: This final rule is effective September 15, 2010.

                    . II. Background A. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA is issuing this technical amendment to change references in several sections of 40 CFR part 180. These changes are necessary because of a final rule which was issued in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     of June 8, 2005 (70 FR 33354) (FRL-7706-9). That final rule made miscellaneous changes to 40 CFR part 180 to update generic provisions of EPA's procedural regulations relating to pesticide chemicals. The update was made necessary because of various changes made by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Several amendments were made to § 180.1. One of the amendments removed § 180.1(d) while another amendment redesignated § 180.1(e) through § 180.1(p) as new § 180.1(d) through § 180.1(o). There are numerous references throughout 40 CFR part 180, subpart C to the definition of the term “regional registration.” Before the redesignation, the definition for “regional registration” was codified in § 180.1(n); however, with the redesignation the definition was moved to § 180.1(m). At that time there were no conforming amendments to make the necessary adjustments to the references found in other sections in 40 CFR part 180, subpart c. Therefore, most of the references to the definition of “regional registration” still indicate that the term is codified in § 180.1(n) rather than indicating that the term is now codified in § 180.1(m). This technical amendment merely corrects the reference to the definition of the term “regional registration.” Additionally, § 180.40(b) references § 180.1(h) for a listing of commodities for which established tolerances may be applied to certain other related and similar commodities. With the redesignation that occurred, the listing is now in § 180.1(g). This technical amendment also corrects § 180.40(b). B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action? This technical amendment is being issued under authority of 21 U.S.C. 321(q), 346a and 371. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews These technical amendments merely change references in the EPA regulations governing pesticide tolerances. The amendments are procedural in nature and do not have any impact on regulated parties or the public. A complete statutory and Executive Order review was provided in the procedural regulation that was printed on June 8, 2005 (70 FR 33354) (FRL-7706-9). IV. 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 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**
                    . This rule is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 180 Environmental protection
