AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Final rule; Technical amendments.
SUMMARY:
The Office of Pesticide Programs is transferring certain of the pesticide food and feed additive regulations that are now in 40 CFR parts 185 and 186 to part 180. These regulations are being consolidate because as amatter of law all of the pesticide tolerances are now considered to be regulated under FFDCA section 408 as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (Public Law 104-17) and they no longer need to be separate.
DATES:
These technical amendments are effective on May 24, 2000.

The PIRIB telephone number is (703) 305-5805.
C. “Good Cause” Finding
Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, 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 rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for making today's rule final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because this rule contains technical, non-substantive amendments to 40 CFR. This rule transfers certain pesticide tolerances currently in 40 CFR parts 185 and 186 to 40 CFR part 180. There are no changes to the tolerances or to the commodities to which they apply. In addition, there are no reassessments of the adequacy of the tolerances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act's (FFDCA) standards for safety. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
II. Background
What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA is transferring certain pesticide tolerances currently in 40 CFR parts 185 and 186 to 40 CFR part 180.
Before the passage of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), pesticide residues in food and feed were regulated under two sections of the FFDCA. Residues in raw agricultural commodities were regulated under section 408 of the FFDCA. The term “raw agricultural commodity” is defined in section 201(r) of the FFDCA as any food in its raw or natural state, including all fruits that are washed, colored, or otherwise treated in their unpeeled natural form prior to marketing. Pesticide residues in processed food or animal feed were regulated as “food additives” under section 409 of the FFDCA. Because there were legal differences in authority and how and when tolerances could be established under sections 408 and 409, tolerances for the same pesticide could appear in several parts of the Code of Federal Regulations.
FQPA clarified the status of pesticide residues and brought all pesticide residues in food and feed under the authority of section 408 of the FFDCA. In addition, FQPA added a definition of “processed food” for the first time (section 201(gg) of the FFDCA). The term “processed food” is defined in section 201(gg) of the FFDCA as “any food other than a raw agricultural food and includes any raw agricultural commodity that has been subject to processing....” Subsequent to the passage of the FQPA, Congress, in the Antimicrobial Regulation Technical Corrections Act of 1988 (ARTCA)(Public Law 105-324), amended the definition of “pesticide residue” in section 201(q) of the FFDCA so as to exclude certain antimicrobial pesticide residues in raw and processed foods from the authority of section 408. These residues now fall within the coverage of FFDCA section 409. Since the statute has consolidated much authority for and treatment of pesticide chemical residues in food and feed under FFDCA section 408, EPA is now transferring those pesticide regulations established under section 409 that pertain to pesticide chemical residues now covered by section 408 to the portion of the CFR, part 180, in which section 408 tolerance regulations are collected.
Published elsewhere in this separate part, EPA is transfering some of the regulations from parts 185 and 186 to part 180. With this document, all tolerances have been transferred, and users will be able to determine all the tolerances for a single pesticide chemical by referring to the listings in part 180.
While EPA believes that it has accurately transferred each of the tolerances included in this rule, the Agency would appreciate readers notifying EPA of discrepancies, omissions or technical problems by submitting any comments to the address or e-mail address under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. These would be corrected in a future rule.
EPA is not at this time making any changes in the tolerances or the commodities to which they apply, nor is EPA reassessing the adequacy of the tolerances under FFDCA standards for safety. Further, EPA is not at this time standardizing the terminology used to describe various food commodities. EPA is aware that there may be inconsistencies in the description of food commodities among parts 180, 185 and 186. EPA will make such changes when all tolerances have been consolidated.
No tolerances are revoked by this rule. Duplicate tolerance entries, which would be created by transfering food and feed additive tolerances established for the same food commodity at the same tolerance level from parts 185 and 186 to the corresponding part 180 section, have been deleted.
The following distribution table shows the new location of the provisions formerly in parts 185 and 186 now in part 180.

III. Regulatory Assessment Requirements
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a “significant regulatory action” and is therefore not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. Because the agency has made a “good cause” finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act, it is not subject to the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (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 a significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and 204 of UMRA. This rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This rule will not 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant. This rule does not involve technical standards; thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. The rule does not involve special consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In issuing this 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 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in accordance with the “Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings” issued under the executive order. This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
IV. 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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. EPA has made such a good cause finding, including the reasons therefor, and established an effective date of June 24, 2000. 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 the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
