II.
What
Does
this
Correction
Do?
A
tolerance
exemption
for
lactic
acid,
ethyl
ester
was
established
in
the
Federal
Register
of
September
3,
2002
(
67
FR
56225)
(
FRL
 
7196
 
6)
(
OPP
 
2002
 
0217).
In
the
codified
text
of
that
document,
the
CAS
number
was
incorrectly
listed
as
``
197
 
64
 
3.''
The
CAS
number
should
have
read
``
97
 
64
 
3''
as
expressed
in
the
preamble.

III.
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
a
typographical
error.
The
CAS
number
for
lactic
acid,
ethyl
ester
was
correctly
listed
in
the
preamble,
but
erroneously
listed
in
the
codified
text.
EPA
finds
that
this
constitutes
good
cause
under
5
U.
S.
C.
553(
b)(
B).

IV.
Do
Any
of
the
Regulatory
Assessment
Requirements
Apply
to
this
Action?
This
final
rule
implements
a
technical
correction
to
the
CFR,
and
it
does
not
otherwise
impose
or
amend
any
requirements.
As
such,
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
has
determined
that
a
technical
correction
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).
Nor
does
this
final
rule
contain
any
information
collection
requirements
that
require
review
and
approval
by
OMB
pursuant
to
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995
(
PRA)
(
44
U.
S.
C.
3501
et
seq.).
Since
the
Agency
has
made
a
``
good
cause''
finding
that
this
action
is
not
subject
to
notice­
and­
comment
requirements
under
the
APA
or
any
other
statute
(
see
Unit
III.),
this
action
is
not
subject
to
provisions
of
the
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
(
RFA)
(
5
U.
S.
C.
601
et
seq.),
or
to
sections
202
and
205
of
the
Unfunded
Mandates
Reform
Act
of
1995
(
UMRA)
(
Public
Law
104
 
4).
In
addition,
this
action
does
not
significantly
or
uniquely
affect
small
governments
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).
This
final
rule
will
not
have
substantial
direct
effects
on
the
States
or
on
one
or
more
Indian
tribes,
on
the
relationship
between
the
national
government
and
the
States
or
one
or
more
Indian
tribes,

between

As
such,
this
action
does
not
have
any
``
federalism
implications''
as
described
in
Executive
Order
13132,
entitled
Federalism
(
64

entitled
Consultation
and
Coordination
with
Indian
Tribal
Governments
(
65
FR
67249,
November
6,
2000).
Since
this
direct
final
rule
is
not
a
``
significant
regulatory
action''
as
defined
by
Executive
Order
12866,
it
does
not
require
OMB
review
or
any
Agency
action
under
Executive
Order
13045,
entitled
Protection

Children
from
Environmental
Health

That
Significantly
Affect
Energy
Supply,

(
66
FR
28355,
May

2001).
This
action
does
not
involve
any
technical
standards
that
require
the
Agency's
consideration
of
voluntary
consensus
standards
pursuant
to
section
12(
d)
of
the

Public
Law
104
 
113,
section
12(
d)
(
15
U.
S.
C.
272
note).
This
action
will
not
result
in
environmental
justice
related
issues
and
does
not,
therefore,
require
special
consideration
under
Executive
Order
12898,
entitled
Federal

Address
Environmental
Justice
in
Minority
Populations

Protected
Property

(

FR

In
issuing
this
final
rule,
EPA
has
taken
the
necessary
steps
to
eliminate
drafting
errors
and
ambiguity,
minimize
potential
litigation,
and
provide
a
clear
legal

for
