Consolidation of Certain Food and Feed Additive Tolerance
Regulations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule transfers certain of the pesticide food and
feed additive regulations that are now in 40 CFR parts 185 and 186 to
part 180. EPA is consolidating these regulations because as a matter of
law all of pesticide tolerances are now considered to be regulated
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act as
amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (Pub. L. 104-17) and they no
longer need to be separate. EPA is also amending 40 CFR 180.1 by adding
a definition for the term ``food commodity.''
EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective on May 24, 2000.

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) (Pub. L. 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
[[Page 33693]]
much of authority for and treatment of pesticide chemical residues in
food and feed under FFDCA section 408, EPA is now transferring those
pesticide chemical residue 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.
EPA is transferring these pesticide chemical residue regulations in
stages. A second document will be issued later transferring additional
pesticide chemical residue regulations. Eventually, all pesticide
residue regulations in parts 185 and 186 that pertain to pesticide
residues covered by section 408 will be transferred to part 180, and
users will be able to determine all the section 408 tolerances for a
single pesticide chemical by referring to the listings in part 180.
At the same time, EPA is creating a general definition that it will
use in tolerance regulations to cover all the types of food and feed
commodities. Henceforth, the term ``food commodity'' will be used to
refer to raw agricultural commodities (food and feed), processed food
commodities and processed animal feed commodities. Accordingly, EPA is
adding the following definition to 40 CFR 180.1:
The term ``food commodity'' is defined to mean:
(1) Any raw agricultural commodity (food or feed) as defined in
section 201(r) of the FFDCA; and
(2) Any processed food or feed as defined in section 201(gg) of the
FFDCA.
This new definition merely consolidates the existing terminology
used in the regulations and does not have the effect of changing the
scope of any regulations under part 180 or the regulations being
transferred to part 180. To the extent any existing regulations in part
180 apply to pesticide chemical residues that were transferred by ARTCA
from coverage under section 408 to section 409, EPA will work with FDA,
the agency that administers section 409, to insure that these
regulations are identified and transferred to a portion of the CFR
under FDA's jurisdiction.
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 them 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 transferring 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.
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) (Pub. L. 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 [insert 30 days from date of
publication in FR]. 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).
