II. What Does this Correction Do?

FR Doc. 04-21931 published in the Federal Register of September 30, 2004 (69 FR 58290) (FRL-7367-4) is corrected as follows:

On page 58299, at the top of the first column, in the signature block for the Cyazomid pesticide tolerance, both the signature date and the signature were inadvertently left out. The date and signature should read as follows:

“Dated: September 23, 2004.”

“James Jones,”

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 technical correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because EPA is merely inserting language that was inadvertently omitted from the previously published final rule. 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?

The applicable statutory and Executive Order reviews were included in the September 30, 2004 Federal Register document. This document is a technical correction and as such no new review requirements are applicable.

V. Congressional Review Act

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 final rule in the Federal Register.This final rule is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
