What
Does
this
Correction
Do?

In
the
Federal
Register
of
September
19,
2002
(
67
FR
59006)
(
FRL
 
7200
 
4),
EPA
issued
tolerances
for
the
insecticide
diflubenzuron
(
N­[[
4­
chlorophenyl)
amino]­
carbonyl]­
2,6­
difluorobenzamide)
and
its
metabolites,
4­
chlorophenylurea
(
CPU)
and
4­
chloroaniline
(
PCA)
in
or
on
various
commodities.
This
document
is
being
issued
to
correct
two
inadvertent
omissions
in
that
document.
FR
Doc.
02
 
23818
is
corrected
as
follows:
1.
On
page
59013,
in
the
middle
column,
second
full
paragraph
from
the
top,
the
fourth
sentence
should
read:
``
There
are
reliable
data
that
indicate
there
are
no
residual
concerns
for
pre­
and/
or
post­
natal
toxicity.''
2.
On
page
59015,
under
Unit
IV.,
section
B.
International
Residue
Limits
should
read:
``
Codex
and
Mexican
maximum
residue
limits
(
MRLs)
are
established
for
residues
of
diflubenzuron
per
se
in/
on
plums
(
including
prunes)
at
1
ppm.
Mexican
MRLs
are
established
for
residues
of
diflubenzuron
per
se.
Use
of
diflubenzuron
in
Canada
is
limited
to
mosquito
control;
therefore,
no
Canadian
MRLs
have
been
established.
Based
on
the
current
tolerance
expression,
the
Codex
and
U.
S.
tolerance
definitions
are
not
compatible.''

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
correction
final
without
prior
proposal
and
opportunity
for
comment,
because
EPA
is
merely

inserting

that

IV.
Do
Any
of
the
Regulatory
Assessment
Requirements
Apply
to
This
Action?
This
document
makes
minor
corrections
to
the
preamble
of
the
final
rule
issued
on
September
19,
2002,
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).
Because
this
rule
has
been
exempted
from
review
under
Executive
Order
12866
due
to
its
lack
of
significance,
this
rule
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).
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).
Since
this
action
does
not
require
the
issuance
of
a
proposed
rule,
the
requirements
of
the
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
(
RFA)
(
5
U.
S.
C.
601
et
seq.)
do
not
apply.
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
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
(
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
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.

Submission
to
Congress
and
the
Comptroller
General
The
Congressional
Review
Act,
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
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.
S.
Senate,
the
U.

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).
