In the Federal Register of October 24, 2007 (72 FR 60251) (FRL-8116-2), EPA issued a Final Rule which, among other things, redesignated 40 CFR part 158 as 40 CFR part 161. The regulations in redesignated part 161 were intended to apply to, and are applicable only to antimicrobial pesticides as was shown in the redesignation table. This technical amendment is issued to clarify the applicability of part 161, clear up any confusion among the users of the regulations in 40 CFR parts 158 and 161, and to correct the part heading for part 161 to show applicability to antimicrobial pesticides. The data requirements for conventional, biochemical, and microbial pesticides are set forth in 40 CFR part 158.
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 amendment final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because EPA is not making any substantive changes to the regulations and is merely clarifying the applicability of existing regulations to avoid confusion. EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
The appropriate statutory and Executive Order reviews were included in the October 24, 2007 Final Rule.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136—136y.
