IV. Other Considerations A. International Residue Limits In making its tolerance decisions, EPA
seeks to harmonize U.S. tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA considers the international maximum residue limits MRLs established by the Codex Alimentarius Commission Codex, as required by FFDCA section 408b4.
The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United States is a party. EPA
may establish a tolerance that is different from a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408b4 requires that EPA explain the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
The Codex has not established a MRL
for emamectin benzoate.
B. Revisions to Petitioned-For Tolerances The tolerance on tea commodities is being set at 0.5 ppm instead of the proposed level at 0.2 ppm in order to harmonize with the Japanese MRL. For the proposed tolerance on tea, the commodity definition was revised to include the standard commodities of tea, dried and tea, instant.

V. Conclusion Therefore, tolerances are established for residues of emamectin benzoate a mixture of a minimum of 90% 4-epimethylamino-4-deoxyavermectin B1a and a maximum of 10% 4-epimethlyamino-4deoxyavermectin B1b benzoate and its metabolites in or on tea, dried and tea, instant at 0.5 ppm.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This action establishes tolerances under FFDCA section 408d in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget OMB has exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993. Because this action has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect

FR 28355, May 22, 2001 or Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997, nor is it considered a regulatory action under Executive Order 13771, entitled Reducing Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Costs 82
FR 9339, February 3, 2017. This action does not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act PRA 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994.
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a petition under FFDCA section 408d, such as the tolerance in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act RFA 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., do not apply.
This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not States or Tribes, nor does this action alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions of FFDCA
section 408n4. As such, the Agency has determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or Tribal Governments, on the relationship between the National Government and the States or Tribal Governments, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Thus, the Agency has determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism 64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999 and Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments 65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000 do not apply to this action. In addition, this action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act UMRA 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq..
This action does not involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12d of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act NTTAA 15 U.S.C. 272 note.
