III.
What
Does
this
Technical
Correction
Do?
Tolerances
for
clopyralid
on
various
commodities
were
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
September
25,
2002
(67
FR
60152)
(FRL–
7198–
4)
including
meat
byproducts
except
liver
of
cattle,
goats,
horses
and
sheep
at
36.0
parts
per
million.
These
tolerances
superseded
tolerances
previously
established
for
meat
byproducts
except
kidney
of
cattle,
goats,
horses
and
sheep
at
1.0
ppm.
This
technical
correction
removes
the
lower
tolerances
from
§
180.431.

IV.
Why
is
this
Correction
Issued
as
a
Final
Rule?
Section
553
of
the
Administrative
Procedure
Act
(APA),
5
U.
S.
C.
553(
b)(
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
today's
technical
correction
final
without
prior
proposal
and
opportunity
for
comment,
because
EPA
is
merely
correcting
the
section
to
remove
certain
commodities
from
the
previously
published
final
rule.
EPA
finds
that
this
constitutes
good
cause
under
5
U.
S.
C.
553(
b)(
B).

V.
Do
Any
of
the
Regulatory
Assessment
Requirements
Apply
to
this
Action?

This
action
corrects
tolerances
established
under
section
408(
e)
of
the
Federal
Food,
Drug,
and
Cosmetic
Act
(FFDCA).
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
technical
correction
has
been
exempted
from
review
under
Executive
Order
12866
due
to
its
lack
of
significance,
this
technical
correction
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).
In
addition,
this
technical
correction
does
not
contain
any
information
collections
subject
to
OMB
approval
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act,
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
(Public
Law
104–
4).
Nor
does
it
require
any
prior
consultation
as
specified
by
Executive
Order
12875,
entitled
Enhancing
the
Intergovernmental
Partnership
(58
FR
58093,
October
28,
1993),
or
special
considerations
as
required
by
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
in
accordance
with
Executive
Order
13045,
entitled
Protection
of
Children
from
Environmental
Health
Risks
and
Safety
Risks
(62
FR
19885,
April
23,
1997).
In
addition,
under
the
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
(5
U.
S.
C.
601
et
seq.),
the
Agency
previously
assessed
whether
establishing
tolerances,
exemptions
from
tolerances,
raising
tolerance
levels,
or
expanding
exemptions
might
adversely
impact
small
entities
and
concluded,
as
a
generic
matter,
that
there
is
no
adverse
economic
impact.
The
factual
basis
for
the
Agency's
generic
certification
for
tolerance
actions
published
on
May
4,
1981
(46
FR
24950),
and
was
provided
to
the
Chief
Counsel
for
Advocacy
of
the
Small
Business
Administration.

Submission
to

The

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

promulgating
the
rule
must
submit
a
rule
report,
which
includes
a

of
the
rule,
to
each
House
of
the
Congress
and
to
the

General
of
the
United

to
the
U.
S.
Senate,
the
U.

House
of

and
the

of

prior
to

National

List
for
Uncontrolled

Sites
AGENCY:
Environmental
Protection
Agency.
ACTION:
Final
rule.

SUMMARY:
The
Comprehensive
Environmental
Response,
Compensation,
and
Liability
Act
of
1980
(``
CERCLA''
or
``
the
Act''),
as
amended,
requires
that
the
National
Oil
and
Hazardous
Substances
Pollution
Contingency
Plan
(``
NCP'')
include
a
list
of
national
priorities
among
the
known
releases
or
threatened
releases
of
hazardous
substances,
pollutants,
or
contaminants
throughout
the
United
States.
The
National
Priorities
List
(``
NPL'')
constitutes
this
list.
The
NPL
is
intended
primarily
to
guide
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(``
EPA''
or
``
the
Agency'')
in
determining
which
sites
warrant
further
investigation.
These
further
investigations
will
allow
EPA
to
assess
the
nature
and
extent
of
public
health
and
environmental
risks
associated
with
the
site
and
to
determine
what
CERCLAfinanced
remedial
action(
s),
if
any,
may
be
appropriate.
This
rule
adds
one
new
site
to
the
NPL;
the
Libby
Asbestos
site
located
in
Libby,
Montana.
It
is
being
added
to
the
General
Superfund
Section
of
the
NPL.
EFFECTIVE
DATE:
The
effective
date
for
this
amendment
to
the
NCP
shall
be
November
25,
2002.
