II.
Background
EPA's
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs
(
OPP)
has
developed
a
commodity
vocabulary
data
base
entitled
``
Food
and
Feed
Commodity
Vocabulary.''
The
data
base
was
developed
to
consolidate
all
the
major
OPP
commodity
vocabularies
into
one
standardized
vocabulary.
As
a
result,
all
future
pesticide
tolerances
issued
under
40
CFR
part
180
will
use
the
``
preferred
commodity
term''
as
listed
in
the
aforementioned
data
base.
This
is
the
third
in
a
series
of
documents
revising
the
terminology
of
commodity
terms
currently
in
tolerances
in
40
CFR
part
180.
Final
rules,
revising
pesticide
tolerance
nomenclature,
were
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
June
19,
2002
(
67
FR
41802)
(
FRL
 
6835
 
2)
and
June
21,
2002
(
67
FR
42392)
(
FRL
 
7180
 
1).
In
the
Federal
Register
of
April
17,
2003,
(
68
FR
18935)
EPA
issued
a
proposed
rule
proposing
to
make
minor
revisions
to
the
terminology
of
certain
commodity
terms
used
in
tolerances
in
40
CFR
part
180,
subpart
C,
to
establish
a
uniform
listing
of
commodities.
There
were
no
comments
received
in
response
to
the
proposed
rule.
This
revision
process
will
establish
a
uniform
presentation
of
existing
commodity
terms
under
40
CFR
part
180.

A.
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

In
this
rule,
EPA
is
making
the
following
format
changes
to
a
the
terminology
of
the
commodity
terms
in
40
CFR
part
180
to
the
extent
the
terminology
is
not
already
in
this
format:
1.
The
first
letter
of
the
commodity
term
is
capitalized.
All
other
letters,
including
the
first
letter
of
proper
names,
are
changed
to
lower
case.
2.
Commodity
terms
are
listed
in
the
singular
although
there
are
the
following
exceptions:
``
leaves'',
``
roots'',
``
tops'',
``
greens'',
``
hulls'',
``
vines'',
``
fractions'',
``
shoots'',
and
``
byproducts''.
3.
Commodity
terms
are
amended
so
that
generic
terms,
such
as
``
corn''
and
``
pea'',
precede
modifying
terms,
such
as
``
field'',
``
dry''
and
``
summer''.
4.
Abbreviated
terms
are
replaced
with
the
appropriate
commodity
terms.
Examples:
``
K=
CWHR)''
is
replaced
with
``
kernel
plus
cob
with
husks
removed''
and
``
POST­
H''
is
replaced
with
``
postharvest''.
5.
Parenthesis
are
replaced
with
commas.
Example:
``
Cherry
(
sweet),
postharvest''
is
replaced
with
``
Cherry,
sweet,
postharvest''.
6.
Crop
group
terms
are
revised
to
standardize
with
the
``
Food
and
Feed
Vocabulary''.
Examples:
i.
``
Legume
vegetables
(
succulent
or
dried)
group'',
``
Legume
vegetable
group
(
dry
and
succulent),
and
``
Legume
vegetables''
are
replaced
with
``
Vegetable,
legume,
group
6''.
ii.
``
Fruit,
stone
(
cherry,
peach,
plum,
prune)
group''
is
replaced
with
``
Fruit,
stone,
group
12''.
iii.
``
Grass
forage,
fodder
and
hay''
and
``
Grass,
forage,
fodder,
and
hay''
are
replaced
with
``
Grass,
forage,
fodder
and
hay
group
17''.

B.
Additional
Changes
In
addition
to
format
changes
to
the
commodity
terms,
this
document
also
includes
many
revisions
to
the
commodity
terms.
These
revisions
replace
certain
commodity
terms
that
are
no
longer
used
by
EPA
with
the
appropriate
matching
term
in
the
``
Food
and
Feed
Commodity
Vocabulary''.
For
example,
``
Clover,
green''
is
replaced
with
``
Clover,
forage'',
``
Peanut
vines''
is
replaced
with
``
Peanut,
hay'',
``
Swine,
meat''
is
replaced
with
``
Hog,
meat'',
and
``
Bushnuts''
is
replaced
with
``
Nut,
macadamia''.
This
document
also
deletes
certain
terms
that
are
not
needed
to
identify
the
tolerance
commodities.
Examples:
i.
The
term
``
preharvest''
(``
pre­
H''
or
``(
PRE­
H)'')
is
not
needed
since
tolerances
and
exemptions
established
under
part
180
apply
to
residues
from
only
preharvest
application,
unless
otherwise
specified,
in
accordance
with
40
CFR
180.1(
i).
ii.
The
term
``
preslaughter''
(``(
PRES
or
``(
PRE­
S
appli)'')
is
not
needed
since
tolerances
and
exemptions
established
under
part
180
apply
to
residues
from
preslaughter
application
to
livestock,
unless
otherwise
specified.
iii.
The
terms
``
nutmeat''
and
``
nutmeats''
when
used
in
association
with
the
tree
nut
crops
or
peanut
are
not
needed.
For
tree
nut
crops,
nutmeat
and
almond
hulls
are
the
only
edible
portions
of
the
crop
consumed.
Therefore,
OPP's
Food
and
Feed
Commodity
Vocabulary
uses
the
commodity
terms
``
Almond'',
``
Pecan'',
``
Walnut'',
etc.
for
the
tree
nuts
and
the
commodity
term
``
Peanut''
is
used
in
place
of
``
Peanut,
nutmeat''.
Since
``
almond
hulls''
are
fed
to
livestock,
tolerances
may
be
established
for
``
Almond,
hulls''.

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.

IV.
Statutory
and
Executive
Order
Reviews
This
final
rule
makes
technical
amendments
to
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
which
have
no
substantive
impact
on
the
underlying
regulations,
and
it
does
not
otherwise
impose
or
amend
any
requirements.
As
such,
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
has
determined
that
a
technical
amendment
is
not
a
``
significant
regulatory
action''
subject
to
review
by
OMB
under
Executive
Order
12866,
entitled
Regulatory
Planning
and
Review
(
58
FR
51735,
October
4,
1993).
Because
this
final
rule
has
been
exempted
from
review
under
Executive
Order
12866
due
to
its
lack
of
significance,
this
final
rule
is
not
subject
to
Executive
Order
13211,
Actions
Concerning
Regulations
That
Significantly
Affect
Energy
Supply,
Distribution,
or
Use
(
66
FR
28355,
May
22,
2001).
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
OMB
review
or
any
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).
The
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
(
RFA)
(
5
U.
S.
C.
601
et
seq.)
generally
requires
an
agency
to
prepare
a
regulatory
flexibility
analysis
of
any
rule
subject
to
notice
and
comment
rulemaking
requirements
under
the
Administrative
Procedure
Act
or
any
other
statute
unless
the
agency
certifies
that
the
rule
will
not
have
a
significant
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities.
Small
entities
include
small
businesses,
small
organizations,
and
small
governmental
organizations.
After
considering
the
economic
impacts
of
today's
final
rule
on
small
entities,
I
certify
that
this
action
will
not
have
a
significant
economic
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities.
This
action
proposes
technical
amendments
to
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
which
have
no
substantive
impact
on
the
underyling
regulations.
This
technical
amendment
will
not
have
any
negative
economic
impact
on
any
entities,
including
small
entities.
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
section
408(
n)(
4)
of
the
FFDCA.
For
these
same
reasons,
the
Agency
has
determined
that
this
final
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
final
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
final
rule.

The

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.

and
the
Comptroller
General
of
the
United

prior
to
publication
of
this
final
rule
in

This
final
rule
is
not
a
``
major
rule''
as
defined
by
5
U.
S.
C.
804(
2).

II.
Background
What
Action
is
the
Agency
Taking?

EPA's
Office
of
Pesticide
Programs
(
OPP)
has
developed
a
commodity
vocabulary
data
base
entitled
Food
and
Feed
Commodity
Vocabulary.
The
data
base
was
developed
to
consolidate
all
the
major
OPP
commodity
vocabularies
into
one
standardized
vocabulary.
As
a
result,
all
future
pesticide
tolerances
issued
under
40
CFR
part
180
will
use
the
preferred
commodity
term
as
listed
in
the
aforementioned
data
base.
This
revision
process
will
establish
a
uniform
presentation
of
existing
commodity
terms
under
40
CFR
part
180.
This
is
the
fourth
in
a
series
of
documents
revising
the
terminology
of
commodity
terms
currently
used
in
tolerances
in
40
CFR
part
180.
Two
final
rules,
revising
pesticide
tolerance
nomenclature,
were
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
June
19,
2002
(

FR
41802)
(
FRL
 
6835

and
June
21,
2002
(
67
FR
42392)
(
FRL

In
the
Federal
Register
of
April
18,
2003,
(
68
FR
19170)
(
FRL
 
7176

EPA
issued
a
proposed
rule
to
make
minor
revisions
to
the
terminology
of
certain
commodity
terms
used
in
tolerances
in
40
CFR
part
180,
subpart
C,
to
establish
a
uniform
listing
of
commodities.
There
were
no
comments
received
in
response
to
the
proposed
rule.
This
revision
process
will
establish
a
uniform
presentation
of
existing
commodity
terms
under
40
CFR
part
180.

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,
EPA
will
continue
to
use
those
procedures,
with
appropriate
adjustments,
until
the
necessary
modifications
can
be
made.
The
new
section
408(
g)
of
the
FFDCA
provides
essentially
the
same
process
