Rules
and
Regulations
Reform
Act
of
1995
(
UMRA)
(
Public
Law

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
(

or

or
any
Agency
action
under
Executive
Order

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
on
the
basis
of
a
petition
under
section
408(
d)
of
the
FFDCA,
such
as
the
tolerance
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
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.

C.
801

as
added
by
the

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

and
the

General
of
the
United

prior
to
publication
of
this

in

is
not
a

II.
What
Does
This
Correction
Do?
In
the
Federal
Register
of
July
9,
2003
(
68
FR
40803)
(
FRL
 
7303
 
6),
EPA
published
a
final
rule
establishing
an
exemption
from
the
requirement
of
a
tolerance
for
residues
of
diallyl
sulfides
(
DADs)
in/
or
garlic,
leeks,
onions,
and
shallots.
This
document
corrects
a
typographical
error
that
appeared
in
that
document;
the
word
pentasulfide
should
have
appeared
as
tetrasulfide.
The
document
is
corrected
as
follows:
On
page
40804,
second
column,
under
Unit
IV.,
the
second
paragraph,
the
first
sentence
is
corrected
to
read
as
follows:
``
DADs
are
a
composition
of
diallyl
sulfides
that
includes
diallyl
monosulfide,
diallyl
disulfide,
diallyl
trisulfide,
and
diallyl
tetrasulfide.''

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
action
final
without
prior
proposal
and
opportunity
for
comment,
because
EPA
is
merely
correcting
a
typographical
error.
EPA
finds
that
this
constitutes
good
cause
under
5
U.
S.
C.
553(
b)(
B).

IV.
Do
Any
of
the
Statutory
and
Executive
Order
Reviews
Apply
to
This
Action?
This
final
rule
corrects
a
typographical
error
in
the
preamble
of
a
previously
published
final
rule,
and
it
does
not
otherwise
impose
or
amend
any
requirements.
As
such,
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
has
determined
that
a
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,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
among
the
various
levels
of
government
or
between
the
Federal
government
and
Indian
tribes.
As
such,
this
action
does
not
have
any
``
federalism
implications''
as
described
in
Executive
Order
13132,
entitled
Federalism
(
64
FR
43255,
August
10,
1999),
or
any
``
tribal
implications''
as
described
in
Executive
Order
13175,
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
of
Children
from
Environmental
Health
Risks
and
Safety
Risks
(
62
FR
19885,
April
23,
1997),
and
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
action
does
not
involve
any
technical
standards
that
require
the
Agency's
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).
This
action
will
not
result
in
environmental
justice
related
issues
and
does
not,
therefore,
require
special
consideration
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
Executive
Order
12630,
entitled
Governmental
Actions
and
Interference
with
Constitutionally
Protected
Property
Rights
(
53
FR
8859,
March
15,
1988).
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
standard
for
affected
conduct,
as
required
by
section
3
of
Executive
Order
12988,
entitled
Civil
Justice
Reform
(
61
FR
4729,
February
7,
