II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) has developed a commodity
vocabulary data base entitled ``Food and Feed Commodity Vocabulary.''
The data base was developed to consolidate all the major OPP commodity
vocabularies into one standardized vocabulary. As a result, all future
pesticide tolerances issued under 40 CFR part 180 will use the
``preferred commodity term'' as listed in the aforementioned data base.
Previously, seven documents in a series of documents revising the
terminology of commodity terms currently in tolerances in 40 CFR part
180 have been published. Final Rules, revising pesticide tolerance
nomenclature, were published in the Federal Register on June 19, 2002
(67 FR 41802) (FRL-6835-2); June 21, 2002 (67 FR 42392) (FRL-7180-1);
July 1, 2003 (68 FR 39428) (FRL-7308-9) and (68 FR 39435)(FRL-7316-9);
December 13, 2006 (71 FR 74802) (FRL-8064-3); and September 18, 2007
(72 FR 53134)(FRL-8126-5); corrected on October 31, 2007 (72 FR 61535)
(FRL-8151-4).
    This document proposes changes to certain commodity terminology in
40 CFR part 180. EPA is proposing to make the following format changes
to the terminology of the commodity terms in 40 CFR part 180 to the
extent the terminology is not already in this format:
    1. The first letter of the commodity term is capitalized. All other
letters, including the first letter of proper names, are changed to
lower case.
    2. Commodity terms are listed in the singular, although there are
the following exceptions: leaves, roots, tops, greens, hulls, vines,
fractions, shoots, and byproducts.
    3. Commodity terms are amended so that generic terms precede
modifying terms. Example - Aspirated grain fractions would be replaced
with Grain, aspirated fractions.
    4. Abbreviated terms would be replaced with the appropriate
commodity terms. Example - Cattle, mbyp would be replaced with Cattle,
meat byproducts.
    5. Crop group terms would be revised to standardize with the ``Food
and Feed Vocabulary''. Examples are:
    • Vegetable, leafy greens, except Brassica, group 4 would be
replaced with Vegetable, leafy, except brassica, group 4.
    • Legume vegetables, succulent or dried (except soybean)
would be replaced with Vegetable, legume, group 6, except soybean.
    • Vegetable, legume, edible podded, subgroup would be
replaced with Vegetable, legume, edible podded, subgroup 6A.

B. Additional Changes

    In addition to format changes to the commodity terms, this document
also proposes many revisions to the commodity terms in 40 CFR part 180,
subpart C. These proposed revisions, if adopted, would replace certain
commodity terms that are no longer used by EPA with the appropriate
matching term in the ``Food and Feed Vocabulary.'' For example:
    1. Carrot would be replaced with Carrot, roots.
    2. Cotton, oil and Peanut oil would be replaced with Cotton,
refined oil and Peanut, refined oil.
    3. Cacao and Cacao bean would be replaced with Cacao bean, bean.
    4. Coffee and Coffee, bean would be replaced with Coffee, bean, green.
    5. Coffee, postharvest would be replaced with Coffee, bean, roasted
bean, postharvest.
    6. Citron would be replaced with Citron, citrus.
    7. Corn, field, grain, flour would be replaced with Corn, field, flour.
    8. Date would be replaced with Date, dried fruit.
    9. Grass, fodder would be replaced with Grass, straw.
    10. Guar bean would be replaced with Guar, seed.
    11. Hop would be replaced with Hop, dried cones.
    12. Millet, fodder would be replaced with Millet, straw. Milo,
grain; Milo, fodder; and Milo, forage would be replaced with Sorghum,
grain, grain; Sorghum, grain, stover; and Sorghum, grain, forage.
    13. Mulberry, Indian would be replaced with Noni.
    14. Oat milling fractions (except flour) and Oat, milled fractions
(except flour) would be replaced with Oat, groats/rolled oats.
    15. Pea, vines would be replaced with Pea, field, vines.
    16. Peavine, hay would be replaced with Pea, field, hay.
    17. Prickly pear cactus, fruit and Prickly pear cactus, pads would
be replaced with Cactus, fruit and Cactus, pads.
    18. Red beet roots and Red beet tops would be replaced with Beet,
garden, roots and Beet, garden tops.

[[Page 34680]]

    19. Soybean, aspirated grain fractions would be replaced with
Grain, aspirated fractions.
    20. Wheat, grain, milled byproducts and Wheat, milled feed
fractions would be replaced with Wheat, milled byproducts.
    In certain instances, more than one replacement commodity term
exists in the ``Food and Feed Vocabulary for the older commodity terms
in 40 CFR part 180, subpart C. For example, the preferred commodity
terms for Grass are Grass, forage and Grass, hay. Certain revisions
included in this document were made by choosing a replacement commodity
term from the ``Food and Feed Vocabulary`` based on the old commodity
term and existing tolerances for related food or feed commodities.
These changes are specific to the amended sections and paragraphs in 40
CFR part 180, supbart C. For example:
    In Sec.  180.154(a) and Sec.  180.169(a)(1) the commodity term
Alfalfa would be replaced with Alfalfa, forage. Alfalfa, forage and
Alfalfa, hay are preferred commodity terms for Alfalfa. Alfalfa, forage
was chosen to replace Alfalfa since tolerances are established for
Alfalfa, hay.
    In Sec.  180.121(e) Beet (with or without tops) would be replaced
with Beet, garden roots. Beet, garden, roots and Beet, garden, tops are
the preferred commodity terms for Beet (with or without tops). Beet,
garden roots was chosen since a tolerance is established for Beet,
garden, tops. In Sec.  180.408(a) Beet, garden would be replaced with
Beet, garden, roots. A tolerance is established for Beet, garden, tops.
    In Sec.  180.154(a) Birdsfoot trefoil would be replaced with
Trefoil, forage. Trefoil, forage and Trefoil, hay are the preferred
commodity terms for Birdsfoot trefoil. Trefoil forage was chosen since
a tolerance is established for Trefoil, hay.
    In Sec.  180.154(a) and Sec.  180.169(a)(1) Clover would be
replaced with Clover, forage. Clover, forage and Clover, hay are
preferred commodity terms for Clover. Clover, forage was chosen since
tolerances are established for Clover, hay.
    In Sec.  180.121(a), Sec.  180.204(a) and Sec.  180.288(a), the
commodity term Corn, forage would be replaced with Corn, field, forage.
Corn, field, forage and Corn, sweet, forage are the preferred commodity
terms for Corn, forage. Since there are no tolerances for sweet corn;
Corn, field, forage was chosen to replace Corn, forage. In Sec. 
180.412(a) the commodity term Corn, field, forage was chosen to replace
Corn, forage since a tolerance is established for Corn, sweet, forage.
    In Sec.  180.111(a)(1) and Sec.  180.169(a)(1) the commodity term
Grass would be replaced with Grass, forage. The preferred terms for
Grass are Grass, forage and Grass, hay. Grass, forage was chosen since
tolerances are established for Grass, hay.
    In Sec.  180.121(e) Rutabagas (with or without tops) would be
replaced with Rutabaga, roots. Rutabaga, roots and Rutabaga, tops are
the preferred terms for Rutabagas (with or without tops). Rutabaga,
roots was chosen since a tolerance is established for Rutabaga tops.
    In Sec.  180.342(a)(2) Turnip would be replaced with Turnip, roots.
The preferred terms for Turnip are Turnip, roots and Turnip, greens.
Turnip, roots was chosen since tolerances are established for Turnip,
greens. In Sec.  180.121(e) Turnip (with or without tops) would be replaced
with Turnip, roots since a tolerance is established for Turnip, greens.
    This document also proposes to delete certain terms that are not
needed to identify the tolerance commodities.
Examples:
    1. The term Peanut, meat (hulls removed) would be changed to Peanut.
    2. The term Banana, pulp (no peel) would be changed to Banana, pulp.
    3. The commodity term Peach (includes nectarines) would be changed
to Peach; the ``Food and Feed Vocabulary'' uses the term Peach to
include peach and nectarines.
    4. The terms Horseradish, roots and Potato, tuber would be changed
to Horseradish and Potato.
    5. The terms Garlic, bulb and Garlic (bulb) would be changed to Garlic.
    6. The terms Plum (fresh) and Pineapple, fresh would be changed to
Plum and Pineapple.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This document proposes technical amendments to the Code of Federal
Regulations which have no substantive impact on the underlying
regulations, and does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements.
As such, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined that
a technical amendment is not a ``significant regulatory action''
subject to review by OMB under Executive Order 12866, entitled
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because
this proposed rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order
12866 due to its lack of significance, this proposed rule is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001). This proposed rule does not contain any information
collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any enforceable duty or
contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4). 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);
or OMB review or any Agency action under Executive Order 13045,
entitled Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not
involve any technical standards that would require Agency consideration
of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA),
Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). The Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) generally requires an
agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject
to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of
small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental organizations. After considering
the economic impacts of today's proposed rule on small entities, I
certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities. This action proposes technical
amendments to the Code of Federal Regulations which have no substantive
impact on the underyling regulations. These technical amendments will
not have any negative economic impact on any entities, including small
entities. In addition, the Agency has determined that this action will
not have a substantial direct effect on 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, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999). Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to develop
an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by State
and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that

[[Page 34681]]

have federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have federalism
implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations
that 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.'' This proposed rule directly regulates growers, food
processors, food handlers and food retailers, not States. This action
does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of the FFDCA. For these same reasons, the Agency
has determined that this proposed rule does not have any ``tribal
implications'' as described in Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000). Executive Order 13175, requires EPA to
develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input
by tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have
tribal implications.'' ``Policies that have tribal implications'' is
defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that have
``substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal Government and the Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.'' This proposed rule will not have
substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this proposed rule.
