Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 107 / Monday, June 7, 2021 / Rules and Regulations required by FFDCA section 408b4.
The Codex Alimentarius is a joint U.N.
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 cellulose, ethyl ether.
IX. Conclusion Accordingly, EPA finds that exempting residues of cellulose, ethyl ether from the requirement of a tolerance will be safe.
X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This final rule establishes a tolerance under section 408d of FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget OMB has exempted these rules from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and Review 58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993.
Because this final rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use 66 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.
This final rule 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 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 of 1995 NTTAA, Public Law 104113, section 12d 15
U.S.C. 272 note.
Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis of a petition under section 408d of FFDCA, 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 final rule 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 section 408n4 of FFDCA. 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, or otherwise have any unique impacts on local governments. 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 final rule.
In addition, this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 UMRA Pub. L.
1044.
Although this action does not 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, EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. As such, to the extent that information is publicly available or was submitted in comments to EPA, the Agency considered whether groups or segments of the population, as a result of their location, cultural
practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide discussed in this document, compared to the general population.
XI. 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 rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a major rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 8042.
