Revocation of Tolerances for Canceled Food Uses; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA published in the Federal Register of October 26, 1998, a 
document announcing the revocation of tolerances for residues of the 
pesticides listed in the regulatory text. The amendatory language for 
two of the

[[Page 5191]]

sections was incorrect. This document corrects that language.

 DATES: This correction becomes effective January 25, 1999.

Joseph Nevola, Special Review Branch, (7508C), Special Review and 
Reregistration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., S.W., Washington, DC 20460. 
Office location: Special Review Branch, Crystal Mall #2, 6th floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a document on October 26, 1998 
(63 FR 57067) (FRL-6035-6), announcing the revocation of tolerances for 
residues of the pesticides listed in the regulatory text. As part of 
that final rule, the Agency amended Secs. 180.410 and 180.416. However, 
amendments to paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) within those two sections 
had already been properly addressed at a previous time, so these 
changes were redundant. Moreover, the final rule incorrectly reserved 
paragraph (b) for both sections. This document will correct those 
errors. Therefore, this document rectifies the original tolerance final 
rule by retaining only that portion of the amendatory language that is 
correct for those two sections; i.e., retaining only the amendments to 
paragraphs (a) within Secs. 180.410 and 180.416.

I. Regulatory Assessment Requirements

    This final rule does not impose any new requirements. It only 
implements a technical correction to the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR). As such, this action does not require review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) under Executive Order 12866, entitled 
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or Executive 
Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health 
Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does 
not impose any enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or 
impose any significant or unique impact on small governments as 
described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 
104-4). Nor does it require prior consultation with State, local, and 
tribal government officials as specified by Executive Order 12875, 
entitled Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership (58 FR 58093, 
October 28, 1993) and Executive Order 13084, entitled Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (63 FR 27655, May 19, 
1998), or special consideration of environmental justice related issues 
under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address 
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income 
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 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), Pub. 
L. 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). In addition, since this 
action is not subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the 
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) or any other statute, it is not 
subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

II. 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.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of this rule in the Federal Register. This is a 
technical corection to the Federal Register and is not a ``major rule'' 
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
