[EPA-HQ-OPP-2002-0043; FRL-8151-4]
Pesticide Tolerance Nomenclature Changes; Technical Amendments;
Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of September
18, 2007 promulgating nomenclature changes for several hundred

nomenclature changes several items that had been changed previously.
DATES: This final rule is effective November 2, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
The Agency included in the final rule a list of those who may be
potentially affected by this action. If you have questions regarding
the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the
person listed under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
B. How Can I Access Electronic Copies of this Document and Other
Related Information?
In addition to using regulations.gov, you may access this Federal
Register document electronically through the EPA Internet under the
``Federal Register'' listings at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr.
II. What Does this Correction Do?
EPA is correcting the nomenclature document issued in the Federal
Register on September 18, 2007 (72 FR 53134) (FRL-8126-5). Subsequent
to publication of the September 18, 2007 Federal Register document, EPA
learned that in the table of some 600 entries, several of the
nomenclature changes had been included in a tolerance regulation that
was issued in the Federal Register of September 12, 2007, (72 FR
52013), thus making inclusion of those entries unnecessary and
confusing. Therefore, EPA is removing the duplicate nomenclature
changes that appeared in the September 12, 2007 Federal Register
tolerance rule from the September 18, 2007 tolerance nomenclature
document.
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 this document is merely removing commodity entries that have
already been updated. 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?
EPA included the required statutory discussion in the September 18,
2007 nomenclature rule.
V. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report 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).
