Consolidation of Certain Food and Feed Additive Tolerance
Regulations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; Technical amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Pesticide Programs is transferring certain of
the pesticide food and feed additive regulations that are now in 40 CFR
parts 185 and 186 to part 180. These regulations are being consolidate
because as amatter of law all of the pesticide tolerances are now
considered to be regulated under FFDCA section 408 as amended by the
Food Quality Protection Act (Public Law 104-17) and they no longer need
to be separate.
DATES: These technical amendments are 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)(Public Law 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
[[Page 33704]]
409. Since the statute has consolidated much authority for and
treatment of pesticide chemical residues in food and feed under FFDCA
section 408, EPA is now transferring those pesticide 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.
Published elsewhere in this separate part, EPA is transfering some
of the regulations from parts 185 and 186 to part 180. With this
document, all tolerances have been transferred, and users will be able
to determine all the tolerances for a single pesticide chemical by
referring to the listings in part 180.
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 any comments 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 transfering 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.
The following distribution table shows the new location of the
provisions formerly in parts 185 and 186 now in part 180.

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) (Public Law 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 June 24, 2000. EPA will submit a
report containing this rule and other
[[Page 33705]]
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).

prescribed conditions.
(i) Application shall be limited solely to spot and/or crack and
crevice treatment in food handling establishments where food and food
products are held, processed, prepared or served. Contamination of food
or food contact surfaces shall be avoided. Food must be removed or
covered during treatment.
(ii) Spray concentration for spot treatment shall be limited to a
maximum of 0.5 percent of the active ingredient by weight. A course,
low-pressure spray shall be used to avoid atomization or splashing of
the spray.
(iii) Paint-on application for spot treatment shall be limited to a
maximum of 2 percent of the active ingredient by weight.
(iv) Crack and crevice treatment shall be limited to a maximum of 2
percent of the active ingredient by weight. Equipment capable of
delivering a pin-stream of insecticide shall be used.
(v) Application via adhesive strips shall contain a maximum of 10%
by weight of the controlled-release product in food-handling
establishments where food and food products are held, processed,
prepared, or served. A maximum of 36 strips (or 5.15 grams of
chlorpyrifos) is to be used per 100 square feet of floor space. The
strips are not to be placed in exposed areas where direct contact with
food, utensils, and food-contact surfaces would be likely to occur.
(vi) To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling
shall conform to that registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and
labeling.
(4) A tolerance of 0.1 part per million is established for residues
of chlorpyrifos, per se, in or on all food items (other than those
already covered by a higher tolerance as a result of use on growing
crops) in food service establishments where food and food products are
prepared and served, as a result of the application of chlorpyrifos in
microencapsulated form.
(i) Application of a microencapsulated product shall be limited
solely to spot and/or crack and crevice treatment in food handling
establishments where food and food products are prepared and served.
All treatments shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid
contamination of food or food contact surfaces.
(ii) Spray concentrations shall be limited to a maximum of 0.5
percent of the active ingredient by weight.
(iii) For crack and crevice treatment, equipment capable of
delivering a pin stream of spray directly into cracks and crevices or
capable of applying small amounts of insecticide into cracks and
crevices shall be used.
(iv) For spot treatment, an individual spot shall not exceed 2
square feet.
(v) To assure safe use of the insecticide, its label and labeling
shall conform to that registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, and it shall be used in accordance with such label and
labeling.
