II.
Background
and
Statutory
Findings
EPA
published
final
rules
in
the
Federal
Register
for
each
chemical/
commodity
listed.
The
initial
issuance
of
these
final
rules
announced
that
EPA,
on
its
own
initiative,
under
section
408
of
the
FFDCA,
21
U.
S.
C.
346a,
as
amended
by
the
Food
Quality
Protection
Act
of
1996
(
FQPA)
(
Public
Law
104
 
170)
was
establishing
time­
limited
tolerances.
EPA
established
the
tolerances
because
section
408(
l)(
6)
of
the
FFDCA
requires
EPA
to
establish
a
time­
limited
tolerance
or
exemption
from
the
requirement
for
a
tolerance
for
pesticide
chemical
residues
in
food
that
will
result
from
the
use
of
a
pesticide
under
an
emergency
exemption
granted
by
EPA
under
FIFRA
section
18
.
Such
tolerances
can
be
established
without
providing
notice
or
time
for
public
comment.
EPA
received
requests
to
extend
the
use
of
these
chemicals
for
this
year's
growing
season.
After
having
reviewed
these
submissions,
EPA
concurs
that
emergency
conditions
exist.
EPA
assessed
the
potential
risks
presented
by
residues
for
each
chemical/
commodity.
In
doing
so,
EPA
considered
the
safety
standard
in
section
408(
b)(
2)
of
FFDCA,
and
decided
that
the
necessary
tolerance
under
section
408(
l)(
6)
of
FFDCA
would
be
consistent
with
the
safety
standard
and
with
FIFRA
section
18.
The
data
and
other
relevant
material
have
been
evaluated
and
discussed
in
the
final
rule
originally
published
to
support
these
uses.
Based
on
that
data
and
information
considered,
the
Agency
reaffirms
that
extension
of
these
timelimited
tolerances
will
continue
to
meet
the
requirements
of
section
408(
l)(
6)
of
FFDCA.
Therefore,
the
time­
limited
tolerances
are
extended
until
the
date
listed.
EPA
will
publish
a
document
in
the
Federal
Register
to
remove
the
revoked
tolerances
from
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
(
CFR).
Although
these
tolerances
will
expire
and
are
revoked
on
the
date
listed,
under
section
408(
l)(
5)
of
FFDCA,
residues
of
the
pesticide
not
in
excess
of
the
amounts
specified
in
the
tolerance
remaining
in
or
on
the
commodity
after
that
date
will
not
be
unlawful,
provided
the
residue
is
present
as
a
result
of
an
application
or
use
of
a
pesticide
at
a
time
and
in
a
manner
that
was
lawful
under
FIFRA,
the
tolerance
was
in
place
at
the
time
of
the
application,
and
the
residue
does
not
exceed
the
level
that

Fenhexamid.
EPA
has
authorized
under
FIFRA
section
18
the
use
of
fenhexamid
on
pears
for
control
of
gray
mold
in
California.
This
regulation
extends
a
time­
limited
tolerance
for
residues
of
the
fungicide
fenhexamid,
(
N­
2,3­
dichloro­
4­
hydroxyphenyl)­
1­
methyl
cyclohexanecarboxamide
in
or
on
pears
at
15
ppm
for
an
additional
2
 
year
period.
This
tolerance
will
expire
and
is
revoked
on
December
31,
2004.
A
time­
limited
tolerance
was
originally
published
in
the
Federal
Register
of
November
21,
2000
(

FR

(
FRL

EPA
has
received
objections
to
tolerances
it
established
for
2,4­
D,
and
fenhexamid
on
different
food
commodities.
The
objections
were
filed
by
the
Natural
Resources
Defense
Council
(
NRDC)
and
raised
several
issues
regarding
aggregate
exposure
estimates
and
the
additional
safety
factor
for
the
protection
of
infants
and
children.
Although
these
objections
concern
separate
rulemaking
proceedings
under
the
FFDCA,
EPA
has
considered
whether
it
is
appropriate
to
extend
the
emergency
exemption
tolerances
for
2,4­
D,
and
fenhexamid
while
the
objections
are
still
pending.
Factors
taken
into
account
by
EPA
included
how
close
the
Agency
is
to
concluding
the
proceedings
on
the
objections,
the
nature
of
the
current
action,
whether
NRDC's
objections
raised
frivolous
issues,
and
extent
to
which
the
issues
raised
by
NRDC
had
already
been
considered
by
EPA.
Although
NRDC's
objections
are
not
frivolous,
the
other
factors
all
support
extending
these
tolerances
at
this
time.
First
the
objections
proceeding
is
unlikely
to
conclude
prior
to
when
action
is
necessary
on
this
petition.
NRDC's
objections
raise
complex
legal,
scientific,
policy,
and
factual
matters
and
EPA
initiated
a
60
 
day
public
comment
period
on
them
in
the
Federal
Register
of
June
19,
2002
(
67
FR
41628)
(
FRL
 
7167
 
7).
That
comment
period
was
extended
until
October
16,
2002
(
September
17,
2002,
67
FR
58536)
(
FRL
 
7275
 
3),
and
EPA
is
now
examining
the
extensive
comments
received.
Second
the
nature
of
the
current
actions
are
extremely
timesensitive
as
they
address
emergency
situations.
Third
the
issues
raised
by
NRDC
are
not
new
matters
but
questions
that
have
been
the
subject
of
considerable
study
by
EPA
and
comment
by
stakeholders.
Accordingly,
EPA
is
proceeding
with
extending
the
tolerances
for
2,4­
D,
and
fenhexamid.

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
for
persons
to
``
object''
to
a
regulation
for
an
exemption
from
the
requirement
of
a
tolerance
issued
by
EPA
under
new
section
408(
d)
of
the
FFDCA,
as
was
provided
in
the
old
sections
408
and
409
of
the
FFDCA.
However,
the
period
for
filing
objections
is
now
60
days,
rather
than
30
days.

B.
When
Will
the
Agency
Grant
a
Request
for
a
Hearing?
A
request
for
a
hearing
will
be
granted
if
the
Administrator
determines
that
the
material
submitted
shows
the
following:
There
is
a
genuine
and
substantial
issue
of
fact;
there
is
a
reasonable
possibility
that
available
evidence
identified
by
the
requestor
would,
if
established
resolve
one
or
more
of
such
issues
in
favor
of
the
requestor,
taking
into
account
uncontested
claims
or
facts
to
the
contrary;
and
resolution
of
the
factual
issues(
s)
in
the
manner
sought
by
the
requestor
would
be
adequate
to
justify
the
action
requested
(
40
CFR
178.32).

IV.
Regulatory
Assessment
Requirements
This
final
rule
establishes
timelimited
tolerances
under
section
408
of
the
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
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,
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
tolerances
and
exemptions
that
are
established
under
section
408(
l)(
6)
of
the
FFDCA
in
response
to
an
exemption
under
FIFRA
section
18,
such
as
the
tolerances
in
this
final
rule,
do
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
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
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

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

The
Congressional

5
U.

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.
S.
House
of
Representatives,
and
the
Comptroller
General
of
the
United
States
prior
to
publication
of
this
final
rule
in
the
Federal

This

rule
is
not
a

further
remedial
action
pursuant

is
not
appropriate.
