SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. To determine
whether you or your business may be affected by this action, you should
carefully examine the applicability provisions in Unit II.A. If you
have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

C. What Can I do if I Wish the Agency to Maintain a Tolerance that the
Agency Proposes to Revoke?

    This proposed rule provides a comment period of 60 days for any
person to state an interest in retaining a tolerance proposed for
revocation. If EPA receives a comment within the 60-day period to that
effect, EPA will not proceed to revoke the tolerance immediately.
However, EPA will take steps to ensure the submission of any needed
supporting data and will issue an order in the Federal Register under
FFDCA section 408(f), if needed. The order would specify data needed
and the timeframes for its submission, and would require that within 90
days some person or persons notify EPA that they will submit the data.
If the data are not submitted as required in the order, EPA will take
appropriate action under FFDCA.
    EPA issues a final rule after considering comments that are
submitted in response to this proposed rule. In addition to submitting
comments in response to this proposal, you may also submit an objection
at the time of the final rule. If you fail to file an objection to the
final rule within the time period specified, you will have waived the
right to raise any issues resolved in the final rule. After the
specified time, issues resolved in the

final rule cannot be raised again in any subsequent proceedings.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is proposing to revoke, modify, and establish specific
tolerances for residues of the herbicides benfluralin, fluometuron,
glyphosate, metolachlor, napropamide, norflurazon, and pyrazon; and the
insecticides carbaryl, diazinon, dicrotophos, formetanate
hydrochloride, and tau-fluvalinate in or on commodities listed in the
regulatory text.
    EPA is proposing these tolerance actions to implement the tolerance
recommendations made during the reregistration and tolerance
reassessment processes (including follow-up on canceled or additional
uses of pesticides). As part of these processes, EPA is required to
determine whether each of the amended tolerances meets the safety
standard of FFDCA. The safety finding determination of ``reasonable
certainty of no harm'' is discussed in detail in each Reregistration
Eligibility Decision (RED) and Report of the Food Quality Protection
Act (FQPA) Tolerance Reassessment Progress and Risk Management Decision
(TRED) for the active ingredient. REDs and TREDs recommend the
implementation of certain tolerance actions, including modifications to
reflect current use patterns, meet safety findings, and change
commodity names and groupings in accordance with new EPA policy.
Printed copies of many REDs and TREDs may be obtained from EPA's
National Service Center for Environmental Publications (EPA/NSCEP),
P.O. Box 42419, Cincinnati, OH 45242-2419, telephone number: 1-800-490-
9198; fax number: 1-513-489-8695; Internet at http://www.epa.gov/
ncepihom and from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS),
5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161, telephone number: 1-800-
553-6847 or<PHONE_NUMBER>; Internet at http://www.ntis.gov. Electronic
copies of REDs and TREDs are available on the Internet http://
www.epa.gov/pesticides/reregistration/status.htm for benfluralin,
carbaryl, diazinon, dicrotophos, fluometuron, formetanate
hydrochloride, glyphosate, metolachlor, napropamide, norflurazon,
pyrazon, and tau-fluvalinate.
    The selection of an individual tolerance level is based on crop
field residue studies designed to produce the maximum residues under
the existing or proposed product label. Generally, the level selected
for a tolerance is a value slightly above the maximum residue found in
such studies, provided that the tolerance is safe. The evaluation of
whether a tolerance is safe is a separate inquiry. EPA recommends the
raising of a tolerance when data show that:
    1. Lawful use (sometimes through a label change) may result in a
higher residue level on the commodity.
    2. The tolerance remains safe, notwithstanding increased residue
level allowed under the tolerance.
In REDs, Chapter IV on ``Risk management, Reregistration, and Tolerance
reassessment'' typically describes the regulatory position, FQPA
assessment, cumulative safety determination, determination of safety
for U.S. general population, and safety for infants and children. In
particular, the human health risk assessment document which supports
the RED describes risk exposure estimates and whether the Agency has
concerns. In TREDs, the Agency discusses its evaluation of the dietary
risk associated with the active ingredient and whether it can determine
that there is a reasonable certainty (with appropriate mitigation) that
no harm to any population subgroup will result from aggregate exposure.
EPA also seeks to harmonize tolerances with international standards set
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, as described in Unit III.
    Explanations for proposed modifications in tolerances can be found
in the RED and TRED document and in more detail in the Residue
Chemistry Chapter document which supports the RED and TRED. Copies of
the Residue Chemistry Chapter documents are found in the Administrative
Record electronically. Electronic copies are available through EPA's
electronic public docket and comment system, regulations.gov at http://
www.regulations.gov. You may search for docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2007-1170 and/or Benfluralin (EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-0210), Fluometuron (EPA-
HQ-OPP-2004-0372), Formetanate Hydrochloride (EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-0032),
Metolachlor (EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0045), Napropamide (EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-0162),
Pyrazon (EPA-HQ-OPP-2004-0381), and Tau-Fluvalinate (EPA-HQ-OPP-2005-
0230) then click on that docket ID number to view its contents.
    EPA has determined that the aggregate exposures and risks are not
of concern for the pesticide active ingredients mentioned in this unit
based upon the data identified in the RED or TRED which lists the
submitted studies that the Agency found acceptable.
    EPA has found that the tolerances that are proposed in this
document to be modified, are safe; i.e., that there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result to infants and children from
aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residues, in accordance
with FFDCA section 408(b)(2)(C). (Note that changes to tolerance
nomenclature do not constitute modifications of tolerances). These
findings are discussed in detail in each RED or TRED. The references
are available for inspection as described in this document under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
    In addition, EPA is proposing to revoke certain specific tolerances
because either they are no longer needed or are associated with food
uses that are no longer registered under FIFRA. Those instances where
registrations were canceled were because the registrant failed to pay
the required maintenance fee and/or the registrant voluntarily
requested cancellation of one or more registered uses of the pesticide.
It is EPA's general practice to propose revocation of those tolerances
for residues of pesticide active ingredients on crop uses for which
there are no active registrations under FIFRA, unless any person in
comments on the proposal indicates a need for the tolerance to cover
residues in or on imported commodities or legally treated domestic
commodities.
    1. Benfluralin. The use of benfluralin on peanuts was voluntarily
canceled on June 25, 2003 (68 FR 37811)(FRL-7312-5); therefore, the
Agency has determined that the tolerance on peanuts should be revoked.
The Agency is also revising commodity terminology to conform to current
practice by removing the ``N'' for negligible residues associated with
the tolerances and changing the heading in 40 CFR 180.208 to the common
chemical name, benfluralin. Therefore, EPA proposes revoking the
tolerance in 40 CFR 180.208(a) for residues of benfluralin (N-Butyl-N-
ethyl-[alpha][alpha][alpha]-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-p-toluidine) in/on
peanuts at 0.05(N); deleting the ``(N)'' for all the tolerance entries;
and changing the heading in 40 CFR 180.208 to benfluralin.
    Currently, there are no Codex MRLs in place for benfluralin.
    2. Carbaryl. Currently tolerances on raw agricultural food
commodities are established for residues of carbaryl, including its
hydrolysis product 1-naphthol calculated as 1-naphthyl N-
methylcarbamate. The Agency has determined that the hydrolysis product,
1-naphthol calculated as 1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate does not
contribute significantly to the residues and has considerably less
potential as a cholinesterase inhibitor; therefore, the

residue of concern for plants should be the parent compound, carbaryl,
only. Additionally, the Agency determined that the regulated residues
of concern in/on livestock (meat and milk) should be expanded to also
include the free and conjugated residues of carbaryl: 5,6-dihydro-5,6-
dihydroxy carbaryl, and 5-methoxy-6-hydroxy carbaryl. Consequently, 40
CFR 180.169(a)(3) and (a)(4) are not required. Therefore, EPA proposes
revising the tolerance expressions for raw agricultural commodities in
40 CFR 180.169(a)(1) to regulate residues of the insecticide carbaryl
(1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate) and revising the tolerance expressions
for livestock (meat and milk) in 40 CFR 180.169(a)(2) to regulate the
residues of the insecticide carbaryl (1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate)
including its metabolites 1-naphthol (naphthyl-sulfate), 5,6-
dihydrodihydroxycarbaryl and 5,6-dihydrodihydroxy naphthol, calculated
as 1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate and the free and conjugated residues of
carbaryl: 5.6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy carbaryl, and 5-methoxy-6-hydroxy
carbaryl; transferring the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169(a)(3) to 40 CFR
180.169(a)(2); transfering tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169(a)(4) to 40 CFR
180.169(a)(1) and removing 40 CFR 180.169(a)(3) and (a)(4).
    Based on the available field trial data and food processing that
indicate residues of carbaryl are as high as 10.6 ppm in/on apple wet
pomace (in which residues concentrate at 1.3x), 9.55 ppm in/on
aspirated grain fractions (7.4x), 8.09 ppm in/on citrus oil (2.4x),
7.94 ppm in/on raisins (1.4x), and 11 ppm rice hulls (2.4x), the Agency
has determined tolerances should be established in/on apple, wet pomace
at 15 ppm; grain, aspirated fractions at 70 ppm; citrus, oil at 20 ppm;
grape, raisin at 12 ppm; and rice, hulls at 30 ppm. Based on the
available field trial data that indicate residues of carbaryl are as
high as 0.5 ppm in/on sugar beet roots and 30 ppm in/on sorghum grain
stover, the Agency determined that tolerances should be established for
beet, sugar, roots at 0.5 ppm and sorghum, grain, stover at 30 ppm.
Therefore, EPA proposes establishing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169(a)(1)
as proposed for carbaryl residues of concern in/on apple, wet pomace at
15 ppm; grain, aspirated fractions at 70 ppm; citrus, oil at 20 ppm;
grape, raisin at 12 ppm; rice, hulls at 30 ppm; beet, sugar, roots at
0.5 ppm; and sorghum, grain, stover at 30 ppm.
    The Agency has determined that many of the existing carbaryl
tolerances on individual commodities should be reassigned as crop
group/subgroup tolerances because the Agency has the field trial
residue data and/or tolerances in place for the representative
commodities required to establish the corresponding crop group
tolerances. Specifically, based on available field trial data that
indicate residues of carbaryl do not exceed 0.1 ppm in/on almonds,
chestnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans, the Agency determined that the
tolerance should be decreased to 0.1 ppm in/on nut, tree group 14,
except walnuts replacing the individual tolerances. Based on available
field trial data that indicate residues of carbaryl do not exceed 2 ppm
in/on the roots of garden beet, carrot, horseradish, parsnip, radish,
rutabaga, and salsify, the Agency determined that the tolerance should
be decreased to 2 ppm in/on vegetable, root and tuber, group 1, except
sugar beet and sweet potato replacing the individual tolerances. Based
on available field trial data that indicate residues of carbaryl do not
exceed 3 ppm in/on blueberry, the Agency determined that tolerance
should be decreased to 3 ppm in/on bushberry subgroup 13-07B replacing
the individual tolerance. Based on available field trial data that
indicate residues of carbaryl do not exceed 5 ppm in/on eggplant,
tomatoes and peppers, the Agency determined that tolerance should be
decreased to 5 ppm in/on vegetable, fruiting, group 8 replacing the
individual tolerances. Therefore, EPA proposes decreasing and revising
the individual tolerances to crop group tolerances in newly revised 40
CFR 180.169 (a)(1) for residues of the insecticide carbaryl in/on
``almond, chestnut, hazelnut, and pecan from 1 ppm to nut, tree group
14, except walnut at 0.1 ppm''; ``beet, garden, roots; carrot, roots;
parsnip; radish; rutabaga; salsify, roots; and turnip, roots from 5
ppm, and horseradish from 10 ppm to vegetable, root and tuber, group 1,
except sugar beet and sweet potato at 2 ppm;'' blueberry from 10 ppm to
bushberry subgroup 13-07B at 3 ppm; and eggplant, pepper, and tomato
from 10 ppm to vegetable, fruiting, group 8 at 5 ppm.
    Based on available field trial data that indicate residues of
carbaryl do not exceed 1.0 ppm in/on bean, cowpea, and lentil seed; the
Agency determined that the tolerance should be decreased to 1.0 ppm on
pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean, subgroup 6C replacing the
individual tolerances. Based on available field trial data that
indicated residues of carbaryl do not exceed 60 ppm in/on cowpea
forage, cowpea hay and field pea vines; the Agency determined the
tolerance should be decreased to 60 ppm on vegetable, foliage of
legume, group 7 replacing the individual tolerances. Based on available
field trial data that indicate residues of carbaryl do not exceed 3 ppm
in/on cucumber, melon, pumpkin, summer squash, and winter squash; the
Agency determined that the tolerance should be decreased to 3 ppm on
vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 replacing the individual tolerances. Based
on available field trial data that indicate residues of carbaryl do not
exceed 3 ppm in/on celery and Swiss chard; the Agency determined that
the tolerance should be decreased to 3 ppm on leaf petioles subgroup 4B
replacing the individual tolerances. Therefore, EPA proposes decreasing
and revising tolerances in 180.169(a)(1) as proposed for carbaryl
residues of concern in /on ``bean and lentil, seed from 10 ppm and
cowpea from 5 ppm to pea and bean, dried shelled, except soybean,
subgroup 6C at 1.0 ppm;'' cowpea, forage; cowpea, hay; and pea, field,
vines from 100 ppm to vegetable, foliage of legume, group 7 at 60 ppm:
cucumber; melon; pumpkin; squash, summer; and squash, winter from 10
ppm to vegetable, cucurbit, group 9 at 3 ppm; and celery from 10 ppm
and Swiss chard from 12 ppm to leaf petioles subgroup 4B at 3 ppm.
    Based on available field trial data that indicate residues of
carbaryl as high as 75 ppm on the tops/greens of garden beets, salsify
and turnips; the Agency determined that the tolerance should be
increased to 75 ppm in/on vegetable, leaves of root and tuber, group 2,
except sugar beet tops replacing the individual tolerances. Based on
available field trial data that indicate residues of carbaryl as high
at 2 ppm in/on on potatoes, the Agency has determined the tolerance
should be increased to 2 ppm in/on vegetable, root and tuber, group 1,
except sugar beet and sweet potato replacing the individual tolerance
on potato. Therefore, EPA proposes increasing and revising the
individual tolerances to crop group tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169 (a)(1)
as proposed for carbaryl residues of concern in/on ``beet, garden, tops
and turnip, greens from 12 ppm and salsify, tops from 10 ppm to
vegetable, leaves of root and tuber, group 2 except sugar beet tops at
75 ppm;'' and ``potato from 0.2(N) ppm to vegetable, root and tuber,
group 1, except sugar beet and sweet potato at 2 ppm.'' The Agency
determined that the increased tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the pesticide chemical residue.

    Based on livestock feeding studies and estimating a maximum dietary
burden, residues of carbaryl do not exceed 0.5 ppm in fat, 1 ppm in
milk, 1 ppm in meat, and 3 ppm in meat byproducts of cattle, goats,
hog, horses, and sheep, the Agency has determined the tolerances should
be increased to 0.5 ppm in fat, 1 ppm in milk, 1 ppm in meat, and 3 ppm
in meat byproducts of cattle, goats, hog, horses, and sheep. Because of
the increased tolerances on livestock meat byproducts at 3 ppm cover
livestock liver and kidney residues, separate tolerances for livestock
liver and kidney at 1 ppm are no longer needed. Therefore, EPA proposes
increasing and removing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169(a)(2) as proposed
for the combined carbaryl residues of concern in/on cattle, goat, hog,
horse and sheep fat from 0.1 to 0.5 ppm; cattle, goat, hog, horse and
sheep meat from 0.1 to 1.0 ppm; cattle, goat, hog, horse and sheep meat
byproducts from 0.1 to 3.0 ppm; and milk from 0.3 to 1.0 ppm; and
remove the tolerances in/on cattle, goat, swine, horse and sheep liver
and kidney at 1 ppm. The Agency determined that the increased
tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue.
    Based on available field trial residue data that indicate residues
do not exceed 50 ppm in/on alfalfa, 75 ppm in/on alfalfa hay, 5 ppm in/
on bananas, 25 ppm in/on sugar beet tops, 50 ppm in/on clover forage,
70 ppm in/on clover hay, 0.1 ppm on sweet corn including field and pop
corn grains, 20 ppm in/on field corn stover, 20 ppm in/on pop corn
stover, 30 ppm in/on field corn forage, 3 ppm in/on cranberry, 0.5 ppm
in/on flax seed, 15 ppm in/on grass hay, 1 ppm in/on millet proso grain
(translating from wheat grain), 20 ppm in/on millet proso straw
(translating from wheat straw), 4 ppm in/on okra, 0.05 ppm in/on
peanut, 20 ppm in/on peanut hay, 0.1 ppm in/on pistachio, 5 ppm in/on
prickly pear cactus fruit, 60 ppm in/on rice straw, 30 ppm in/on
sorghum grain forage, 0.5 ppm in/on soybeans, 15 ppm in/on soybean
forage and hay, 4 ppm in/on strawberry, 0.5 ppm in/on sunflower seed,
15 ppm in/on trefoil forage, 25 ppm in/on trefoil hay, 1 ppm in/on
wheat grain, 30 in/on wheat hay (which should include 30 ppm in/on
wheat forage) and 20 ppm in/on wheat straw, the Agency determined that
the tolerances should be decreased to these residue levels that are not
exceeded for each of these commodities. Field trial residue data also
indicates that separate tolerances should be established for corn,
field, grain at 0.02 ppm, corn, pop at 0.02 ppm, and wheat, forage at
30 ppm. The Agency is also revising commodity terminology to conform to
current practice. Therefore, EPA proposes decreasing, establishing, and
revising the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169(a)(1) as proposed for
carbaryl residues of concern in/on alfalfa from 100 to 50 ppm; alfalfa,
hay from 100 to 75 ppm; banana from 10 to 5 ppm; beet, sugar, tops from
100 to 25 ppm; clover from 100 to clover, forage at 50 ppm; clover, hay
from 100 to 70 ppm; ``corn, sweet, kernel plus cob with husks removed''
from 5 to 0.1 ppm; corn, stover at 100 ppm to corn, field, stover at 20
ppm and corn, pop, stover at 20 ppm; corn, forage at 100 ppm to corn,
field, forage at 30 ppm; cranberry from 10 to 3 ppm; flax, seed from 5
to 0.5 ppm; grass, hay from 100 to 15 ppm; millet, proso, grain from 3
to 1 ppm; millet, proso, straw from 100 to 20 ppm; okra from 10 to 4
ppm; peanut from 5 to 0.05 ppm; peanut, hay from 100 to 20 ppm;
pistachio from 1 to 0.1 ppm; prickly pear cactus, fruit from 12 ppm to
cactus, fruit at 5 ppm; rice, straw from 100 to 60 ppm; sorghum, forage
from 100 to sorghum, grain, forage at 30 ppm; soybean from 5 to
soybean, seed at 0.5 ppm; soybean, forage from 100 to 15 ppm; soybean,
hay from 100 to 15 ppm; strawberry from 10 to 4 ppm; sunflower, seed
from 1 to 0.5 ppm; trefoil, forage from 100 to 15 ppm; trefoil, hay
from 100 to 25 ppm; wheat, grain from 3 to 1 ppm; wheat, hay from 100
to 30; wheat, straw from 100 to 20 ppm, and establishing corn, field,
grain at 0.02; corn, pop, grain at 0.02 ppm; and wheat, forage at 30
ppm.
    Based on the available field trial data that indicate carbaryl
residues as high as 50 ppm in/on almond hulls, 15 ppm in/on asparagus,
21 ppm in/on cabbage, 215 ppm in/on sweet corn stover, 185 ppm in/on
sweet corn forage, 22 ppm dandelion leaves, 22 ppm in/on parsley
leaves, 15 ppm rice grain, 12 ppm in/on the representative commodities
of pome fruit group 11, and 22 ppm in/on spinach, the Agency determined
the tolerances should be increased to these levels. Therefore, EPA
proposes increasing and revising the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169(a)(1)
as proposed for carbaryl residues of concern in/on almond, hulls from
40 to 50 ppm; asparagus from 10 to 15 ppm; cabbage from 10 to 21 ppm;
corn, stover from 100 ppm to corn, sweet, stover at 215 ppm; corn,
forage from 100 ppm to corn, sweet, forage at 185 ppm; dandelion,
leaves from 12 to 22 ppm; parsley, leaves from 12 to 22 ppm; rice,
grain from 5 to 15 ppm; fruit, pome at 10 ppm to fruit, pome, group 11
at 12 ppm; spinach from 12 to 22 ppm. The Agency determined that the
increased tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty
that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue.
    There are currently no active registrations with uses on cotton;
therefore, the Agency has determined that tolerances for cotton,
undelinted seed at 5 ppm should be revoked. Based on poultry feeding
studies and the fact there are no longer direct uses on poultry and
poultry houses, there is no reasonable expectation of finite residues
[in accordance with 40 CFR 180.6(a)(3)] in poultry and egg; therefore,
the Agency has determined that tolerances for poultry meat and fat at 5
ppm and egg at 0.5 should be revoked. In the event there may be
existing stocks of products bearing labels having uses on cotton and/or
direct uses on poultry and poultry houses, the tolerances on cotton,
poultry and egg will be revoked on October 31, 2009. The tolerance
expiration date of October 31, 2009 should allow sufficient time for
end users to exhaust those existing stocks and for treated commodities
to clear the channels of trade. In order to consolidate the tolerances
on poultry meat, fat and egg, the Agency is transferring the carbaryl
tolerance on egg entry from 40 CFR 180.319 to 40 CFR 180.169(a)(2).
Therefore, EPA proposes transferring the entry in 40 CFR 180.319
carbaryl residues of concern which corresponds with egg at 0.5 ppm to
40 CFR 180.169(a)(2) as proposed; revoking the tolerances in 40 CFR
180.169(a)(2) for carbaryl residues of concern in/on cotton, undelinted
seed at 5 ppm on October 31, 2009; poultry, fat at 5 ppm on October 31,
2009; poultry, meat at 5 ppm on October 31, 2009; and newly transferred
egg at 0.5 ppm on October 31, 2009; and removing the entry in 40 CFR
180.319 for carbaryl (1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate) and its metabolite
1-naphthol, calculated as carbaryl which corresponds to egg at 0.5 ppm.
    The Agency has also determined that many of the existing carbaryl
tolerances on individual commodities should be reassigned as crop
group/subgroup tolerances because the Agency has the field trial
residue data and/or tolerances in place for the representative
commodities required to establish the corresponding crop group
tolerances. Based on the available field trial data that indicate
residues of carbaryl do not exceed 10 ppm in/on kale and mustard
greens, the Agency has determined the tolerances for kale and mustard
greens should be decreased to 10 ppm and

removed since both commodities should be covered by vegetable,
brassica, leafy, group 5, except cabbage at 10 ppm tolerance.
Therefore, EPA proposes revising the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.169 as
proposed for carbaryl residues of concern in/on apricot; cherry;
nectarine; peach; plum, prune, fresh at 10 ppm to fruit, stone, group
12 at 10 ppm;'' ``blackberry, boysenberry, dewberry, loganberry,
raspberry at 12 ppm to caneberry subgroup 13-07A at 12 ppm;''
``broccoli; Brussels sprouts; cabbage, Chinese; cauliflower; collards;
kohlrabi; and mustard greens from 10 ppm and kale and mustard greens
from 12 ppm to vegetable, brassica, leafy, group 5, except cabbage at
10 ppm;'' bean and pea (with pods) at 10 ppm to vegetable, legume,
edible-podded subgroup 6A at 10 ppm; prickly pear cactus, pads to
cactus, pads; sorghum, grain to sorghum, grain, grain; dill, fresh to
dillweed, fresh leaves; fruit, citrus to fruit, citrus, group 10; and
grass to grass, forage.
    The proposed tolerance actions herein for carbaryl, to implement
the recommendations of the carbaryl RED, reflect use patterns in the
U.S. which support a different tolerance than the Codex level on: pome
fruit group 11; sugar beet root; vegetable, root and tuber, group 1,
except sugar beet and sweet potato; field and sweet corn stover;
cattle, goat, hog, horse, and sheep meat; rice grain, hulls, and straw;
soybean, seed; sunflower seed; sorghum forage; tree nut group 14; wheat
straw, grain, fodder and bran; because of differences in good
agricultural practices. However, compatibility exists for stone fruit,
and will exist based on this tolerance action for carbaryl residues in
or on almond hulls; asparagus; vegetable, fruiting, group 8; cattle,
goat, hog, horse, and sheep meat byproducts (including liver and
kidney); field corn/maize; sweet corn; wheat germ and flour.
    3. Diazinon. Based on available field trial data that indicate
residues of diazinon as high as 0.16 ppm in/on apricots, cherries,
nectarines, peaches and plums, the Agency determined that the
tolerances should be decreased to 0.2 ppm. There are no active
registrations reflecting uses on field corn; therefore the Agency
determined the tolerance in/on corn, field, forage is no longer needed.
Based on available field trial data that indicate residues of diazinon
are less than 0.05 ppm in/on watercress, the Agency determined that the
tolerance should be decreased to 0.05 ppm. EPA is also revising the
commodity terminology to conform to current Agency practice. Therefore,
EPA proposes decreasing the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.153(a)(1) for
diazinon residues of concern in/on apricot from 0.5 to 0.20 ppm; cherry
from 0.75 to cherry, sweet and cherry, tart at 0.2 ppm; nectarine from
0.5 to 0.2 ppm; peach from 0.7 to 0.2 ppm; plum, prune, fresh from 0.5
to 0.2 ppm; and watercress from 0.7 to 0.05 ppm; and revoking corn,
field, forage at 40.0 ppm.
    Because there are no food use registrations in/on olives, the
Agency has determined the tolerance is no longer needed. Also, based on
available livestock studies indicating residues of diazinon in fat as
high as 0.39 ppm, the Agency has determined that the tolerance in/on
cattle, fat should be decreased to 0.5 ppm. Therefore, EPA proposes
revoking the tolerance in 40 CFR 180.153(a)(1) for diazinon residues of
concern in/on olive at 1.0 ppm and decreasing the tolerance in/on
cattle fat from 0.7 ppm to 0.5 ppm.
    The Agency published a cancellation order on March 6, 2002 (67 FR
10196) (FRL-6826-2) as a follow up to a January 4, 2002 notice of
receipt from the end-use products registrants, requesting cancellations
and amendments of their diazinon product registrations terminating all
indoor uses, certain agricultural uses and certain outdoor non-
agricultural uses and limiting some registrations to specific regions.
Specifically, in the cancellation order, the uses were amended for
banana, cucumbers, celery, parsley, parsnips, peppers, potatoes, sweet
potatoes, winter squash, summer squash, Swiss chard, and turnips (roots
and greens) to regional uses. Therefore, the Agency has determined the
corresponding tolerances should be transferred from permanent
tolerances to regional tolerances. The uses were canceled which
correspond to the tolerances on radicchio at 0.7 ppm; citrus at 0.7
ppm; sheep fat at 0.7 ppm; sheep, meat (fat basis) at 0.7 ppm; and
sheep, meat byproducts (fat basis) at 0.7 ppm. Therefore, the Agency
has determined that these tolerances should be revoked, except for the
tolerance on kiwi which is being retained for import purposes. EPA is
also revising the commodity terminology to conform to current Agency
practice. Therefore, EPA proposes transferring the tolerances in 40 CFR
180.153(a)(1) to 40 CFR 180.153(c) for banana; cucumber; celery;
parsley, leaves; parsnip; pepper; potato; potato, sweet; squash,
summer; squash, winter; Swiss chard; turnip, roots; and turnip, greens
to turnip, tops; revoking tolerances in 40 CFR 180.153(a)(1) for
radicchio at 0.7 ppm; citrus at 0.7 ppm; sheep fat at 0.7 ppm; sheep,
meat byproducts (fat basis) at 0.7 ppm; and sheep, meat byproducts (fat
basis) at 0.7 ppm; and revising a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.153(a)(1) to
add a footnote to kiwifruit that reads as follows: ``There are no
domestic registrations in/on kiwifruit as of March 6, 2002.''
    The Agency published a cancellation order December 6, 2006 (72 FR
40874) (FRL-8139-6) which resulted in the cancellation of certain uses
of diazinon in the granular, liquid and/or wettable powder formulations
on a variety of commodities; however, only uses on sugar beets, sweet
corn, Chinese broccoli, Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard, Chinese
radish, grapes, hops, walnuts, and mushroom houses were canceled on all
registrations such that the tolerances are no longer needed. Therefore,
EPA proposes revoking the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.153 for diazinon
residues of concern in/on beet, sugar, roots at 0.5 ppm; beet, sugar,
tops at 10 ppm; corn, sweet, forage at 40 ppm; corn, sweet, kernel plus
cob with husks removed at 0.7 ppm; grape at 0.75 ppm; hop, dried cones
at 0.75 ppm; mushroom at 0.75 ppm; walnuts at 0.5 ppm; radish,
oriental, roots at 0.10 ppm; and radish, oriental, tops at 0.10 ppm.
    The registration for the use on almonds is only in California;
therefore, the Agency has determined that the tolerance in/on almonds
is a regional registration. Therefore, EPA proposes transferring the
tolerance in 40 CFR 180.153(a)(1) for almond at 0.5 ppm to 40 CFR
180.153(c); correcting the citation in 40 CFR 180.153(c) from 180.1(n)
to 180.1(m); and correcting the CAS number from 33-41-5 to 333-41-5.
    Because field pea hay and vines are no longer recognized as raw
agricultural commodities, field pea hay and vines are no longer
considered to be a significant food/feed item; therefore, the
associated tolerances are no longer needed. Therefore, EPA proposes
revoking the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.153(a)(1) in/on pea, field, hay
at 10.0 ppm and pea, field, vines at 25.0 ppm.
    There are currently no registrations for food and feed handling
establishment uses outlined in 40 CFR 180.153(a)(2) and 40 CFR
180.153(a)(3). Therefore, EPA proposes removing the paragraphs in 40
CFR 180.153(a)(2) and 40 CFR 180.153(a)(3).
    The individual tolerances in/on blackberry, loganberry and
raspberry are being consolidated under the caneberry subgroup at 0.75
ppm. EPA is revising the commodity terminology to conform to current
Agency practice. Therefore, EPA proposes revising and increasing
tolerances in 40 CFR 180.153(a) for diazinon residues of concern from
``blackberry at 0.5 ppm, loganberry at

0.75 ppm, and raspberry at 0.5 ppm to caneberry subgroup 13-07A at 0.75
ppm'' and revising endive to escarole.
    The proposed tolerance actions herein for diazinon, to implement
the recommendations of the diazinon RED, reflect use patterns in the
U.S. which support a different tolerance than the Codex level on some
commodities because of differences in good agricultural practices.
However, compatibility exists for all of the citrus fruits, Chinese
cabbage, grapes, mushrooms, olives, peaches, plums, and sheep
byproducts and fat, based on the proposed reassessed U.S. tolerances
implemented.
    4. Dicrotophos. Based on available cotton field trial data that
indicate residues of dicrotophos as high as 0.13 ppm in/on cotton seed
and 1.8 ppm in/on cotton gin by products, the Agency determined that
the tolerances should be increased to 0.2 ppm on cotton, undelinted
seed and a tolerance should be established on cotton gin by products at
2.0 ppm. Therefore, EPA proposes increasing a tolerance in 40 CFR
180.299 for dicrotophos residues of concern in/on cotton, undelinted
seed from 0.05 to 0.2 ppm and establishing a tolerance of in/on cotton
gin by products at 2.0 ppm. The Agency determined that the increased
tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue.
    The Agency is also standardizing the subsections of the 40 CFR 180
and changing the section heading to dicrotophos. Therefore, EPA
proposes revising 40 CFR 180.299 by establishing 4 subsections
entitled: ``(a) General, (b) Section 18 emergency exemptions-reserved;
(c) Tolerances with regional registrations-reserved and (d) Indirect or
inadvertent residues - reserved and change the heading from dimethyl
phosphate of 3-hydroxy-N,Ndimethyl-cis-crotonamide to dicrotophos.''
    Currently, there are no Codex MRLs in place for dicrotophos.
    5. Fluometuron. Tolerances are currently established for negligible
residues of the herbicide fluometuron (1,1-dimethyl-3-([alpha],
[alpha], [alpha]-trifluoro-m-tolyl)urea) in 40 CFR 180.229 for plant
commodities. Based on reevaluation of the plant and animal metabolism
data, the Agency determined that the regulated residues of concern in/
on plants consist of the parent compound, fluometuron, and the
metabolite, trifluoromethylaniline (TFMA); and in animal tissue the
regulated residues consist of the parent compound, the hydroxylated
metabolites [CGA-236431 (1-(4-hydroxy-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)urea),
CGA-236432 (1-methyl-3-(4-hydroxy-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)urea), CGA-
13211 (1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-hydroxy-3-triflurormethylphenyl)urea)], and
their conjugates (determined as TFMS). The chemical name for
fluometuron should be corrected to the CAS name (N,N-dimethyl-N'-(3-
trifluoromethyl)phenyl)urea) in the tolerance expression. Therefore,
EPA proposes revising the tolerance expression for plants in 40 CFR
180.229(a)(1) and 180.229(d) for the combined residues of the herbicide
fluometuron (N,N-dimethyl-N'-(3-trifluoromethyl)phenyl)urea) and its
metabolite trifluoromethylaniline (TFMA) determined as TFMA. EPA also
proposes revising the tolerance expression for livestock in 40 CFR
180.229(a)(2) for the combined residues of the herbicide fluometuron
(N,N-dimethyl-N'-(3-trifluoromethyl)phenyl)urea), its metabolites
determined as TFMA, and the hydroxylated metabolites [CGA-236431 (1-(4-
hydroxy-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)urea), CGA-236432 (1-methyl-3-(4-
hydroxy-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)urea), CGA-13211 (1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-
hydroxy-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)urea)].
    Based on available field trial data that indicate residues of
fluometuron as high as 0.58 ppm in or on cotton and 3.1 ppm in/on
cotton gin byproducts, the Agency determined that the tolerance should
be increased in/on cotton, undelinted seed to 1.0 ppm and a tolerance
should be established in/on cotton gin by products at 3.5 ppm.
Therefore, EPA proposes increasing the tolerance in 40 CFR
180.229(a)(1) for the combined residues of fluometuron and its
metabolites of concern in/on cotton, undelinted seed from 0.1 ppm to
1.0 ppm and establishing a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.229(a)(1) in/on
cotton, gin byproducts at 3.5 ppm. The Agency determined that the
increased tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty
that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue.
    Based on the livestock feeding studies that indicate residues of
fluometuron as high as 0.041 ppm in liver; 0.0096 ppm in kidney; 0.0041
ppm in milk; and 0.0315 ppm egg, poultry meat, fat and meat byproducts,
the Agency determined that tolerances should be established in cattle,
goat, horse, hog, sheep and poultry meat byproducts at 0.1 ppm, in
poultry meat and fat at 0.1 ppm and in milk at 0.02 ppm. Therefore, EPA
proposes establishing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.229(a)(2) for the
combined residues of fluometuron and its metabolites of concern in
cattle, meat byproducts; egg; goat, meat byproducts; hog, meat
byproducts; horse, meat byproducts; poultry, fat; poultry, meat;
poultry, meat byproducts; and sheep, meat byproducts at 0.1 ppm and
milk at 0.02 ppm.
    Based on the available rotational crop field trial data that
indicate residues of fluometuron as high as 0.46 ppm in/on cereal
grains, 2.8 ppm in cereal grain forage, 5.8 ppm in/on cereal grain
fodder and straw, 0.1 ppm in/on peanut, 1.7 ppm in/on soybean seed, 2.4
ppm in/on soybean forage, 2.7 ppm in/on soybean hay, the Agency
determined that tolerances should be established on grain, cereal,
group 15 at 0.5 ppm; grain, cereal, forage, group 16 at 3.0 ppm; grain,
cereal, fodder and straw group 16 at 6.0 ppm; peanut at 0.1 ppm;
peanut, hay at 4.0 ppm; soybean, seed at 2.0 ppm; soybean, forage at
3.0 ppm; and soybean, hay at 3.0 ppm for the inadvertent and indirect
residues of fluometuron. Therefore, EPA proposes establishing
tolerances in 40 CFR 180.229(d) for the combined residues of
fluometuron and its metabolites of concern in grain, cereal, group 15
at 0.5 ppm; grain, cereal, forage, group 16 at 3.0 ppm; grain, cereal,
fodder and straw, group 16 at 6.0 ppm; peanut at 0.1 ppm; peanut, hay
at 4.0 ppm; soybean, seed at 2.0 ppm; soybean, forage at 3.0 ppm; and
soybean, hay at 3.0 ppm.
    Based on the available food processing studies that indicate
residues of fluometuron as high as 0.1 ppm (concentration factor of
1.7X) in peanut meal; 0.25 ppm (3.2X) in rice hulls; and 0.38 ppm
(1.8X) in wheat milled byproducts, the Agency determined that
tolerances should be established on peanut, meal at 0.2 ppm; rice,
hulls at 1.0 ppm; and wheat, milled byproducts at 1.0 ppm. Therefore,
EPA proposes establishing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.229(d) for the
combined residues of fluometuron and its metabolites of concern in
peanut, meal at 0.2 ppm; rice, hulls at 1.0 ppm; and wheat, milled
byproducts at 1.0 ppm.
    Currently, there are no Codex MRLs in place for fluometuron.
    6. Formetanate hydrochloride. Based on available field trial data
that indicate residues of formetanate hydrochloride as high as 0.43 ppm
in/on apples and pears; 0.98 ppm in/on grapefruits and oranges; <0.60
ppm in/on lemons; <0.03 ppm (the limit of quantitation) in/on
tangerines and limes; and limited data at <0.03 ppm in/on nectarines
and peaches; the Agency determined that the tolerances should be
decreased to 0.50 ppm in/on apple and pear; 1.5 ppm in/on grapefruit
and orange, sweet; 0.03 ppm in/on lime and tangerine; 0.60 ppm

in/on lemon; 0.40 ppm in/on nectarine and peach and a tolerance be
established on tangelo at 0.03 ppm. Therefore, EPA proposes decreasing
the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.276(a) for residues of formetanate
hydrochloride in/on apple from 3 to 0.50 ppm; grapefruit from 4 to 1.5
ppm; lemon from 4 to 0.60 ppm; lime from 4 to 0.03 ppm; nectarine 4 to
0.40 ppm; orange, sweet from 4 to 1.5 ppm; peach from 5 to 0.40 ppm;
pear from 3 to 0.50 ppm; and tangerine from 4 to 0.03 ppm and
establishing a tolerance in/on tangelo at 0.03 ppm.
    Based on the field trial and processing studies on apples that
indicate the highest average field trial residues are 0.38 ppm and a 4X
concentration factor in wet pomace, the Agency determined a tolerance
in/on apple, wet pomace should be established at 1.5 ppm. Therefore,
EPA proposes establishing a tolerance in 40 CFR 180.276(a) for residues
of formetanate hydrochloride in/on apple, wet pomace at 1.5 ppm.
    Currently, there are no Codex MRLs in place for formetanate
hydrochloride.
    7. Glyphosate. The Agency proposed changes in tolerances for
glyphosate in the Federal Register notice published on June 7, 2006 (71
FR 32899) (FRL-8062-7), which include harmonization with some Codex
tolerances. The Agency received public comment from Monsanto Company
generally agreeing with the proposed tolerance changes to 40 CFR
180.364 for glyphosate. However, Monsanto alerted the Agency of more
recent changes to glyphosate MRLs finalized by the Codex Alimentarius
Commission in July of 2006. Monsanto provided a detailed list of
suggested changes to the U.S. tolerances established on glyphosate to
achieve better alignment with the newly established Codex MRLs. In
response to this comment, the Agency agreed to consider Monsanto's
recommendations for harmonization with Codex in a future proposal. The
Agency has now determined that the following commodities can be
harmonized with Codex MRLs: Cereal grain crop group 15, cotton seed,
corn (maize), rape seed, canola seed, and liver and kidney commodities
of cattle, goats, hogs, horses and sheep.
    The current tolerance for residues of glyphosate in or on ``grain,
cereal, group 15'' is 0.1 parts per million (ppm), but excludes the
major crop grains barley, field corn, grain sorghum, oat and wheat, and
covers the minor crop grains buckwheat, millet, popcorn, rice, rye,
sweet corn, teosinte, triticale, and wild rice. Individual tolerances
currently exist for barley, grain (20 ppm); corn, field, grain (1.0
ppm); sorghum, grain, grain (15 ppm); oat, grain (20 ppm); and wheat,
grain (5.0 ppm).
    In an effort to achieve compatibility with Codex, the Agency has
determined that the glyphosate tolerance for ``grain, cereal, group
15'' should be inclusive of the major crop grains (barley, sorghum,
oat, and wheat) the minor grain crops (buckwheat millet, rye, teosinte,
and triticale), and increased to 30 ppm. Individual tolerances should
be established for the minor crop grains, popcorn, rice, sweet corn,
and wild rice, each at 0.1 ppm, and the tolerance for field corn
increased from 1.0 to 5.0 ppm. Therefore, EPA proposes to amend
tolerances in 40 CFR 180.364 for glyphosate in/on ``grain, cereal,
group 15, except barley, field corn, sorghum, oat and wheat'' to
``grain, cereal, group 15, except field corn, popcorn, rice, sweet corn
and rice, wild'' and increase the tolerance to 30 ppm; and to revoke
the individual tolerances for barley, grain at 20 ppm; oat, grain at 20
ppm; sorghum, grain, grain at 15 ppm; wheat, grain at 5 ppm; wheat
middlings at 20 ppm; wheat, shorts at 20 ppm; and wheat, bran at 20
ppm; and establish individual tolerances for corn, sweet, grain at 0.1
ppm; corn, pop, grain at 0.1 ppm; rice, grain at 0.1 ppm; rice, wild at
0.1 ppm; and increase the tolerance for corn, field, grain from 1 ppm
to 5 ppm. The Agency has determined that the increased tolerances are
safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. The Agency
has determined that the increased tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the pesticide chemical residue.
    In order to further harmonize with Codex, the Agency has determined
that the tolerances for glyphosate residues in/on the following
commodities should be increased: Cotton, undelinted seed from 35 ppm to
40 ppm; rapeseed, seed from 10 ppm to 20 ppm; canola, seed from 10 ppm
to 20 ppm; and and that the tolerance for canola, meal at 15 ppm and
rapeseed, meal at 15 ppm should be revoked, as they will be covered by
the canola, seed and rapeseed, seed tolerances at 20 ppm. Therefore,
EPA proposes increasing the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.364 for the
glyphosate residues of concern in/on cotton, undelinted seed from 35
ppm to 40 ppm; rapeseed, seed from 10 ppm to 20 ppm; canola, seed from
10 ppm to 20 ppm; and revoking rapeseed, meal at 15 ppm and canola,
meal at 15 ppm. The Agency determined that the increased tolerances are
safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue.
    Currently, separate tolerances exist for the liver of cattle, goat,
horse, sheep and hog at 0.5 ppm, and for the kidney of each of these
livestock animals at 4 ppm. In an effort to harmonize with Codex, the
Agency has determined that the individual tolerances for liver and
kidney should be combined into one commodity defined as meat byproducts
for each of the livestock animals, cattle, goat, horse, sheep and hog,
and increased to 5 ppm. Therefore, EPA proposes revoking tolerances in
40 CFR 180.364 for residues of glyphosate in or on cattle, kidney at
4.0 ppm; cattle, liver at 0.5 ppm; goat, kidney at 4.0 ppm; goat, liver
at 0.5 ppm; horse, kidney at 4.0 ppm; horse, liver at 0.5 ppm; sheep,
kidney at 4.0 ppm; sheep, liver at 0.5 ppm; hog, kidney at 4.0 ppm; and
hog, liver at 0.5 ppm; and establish tolerances in 40 CFR 180.364 for
cattle, meat byproducts at 5 ppm; goat, meat byproducts at 5 ppm;
horse, meat byproducts at 5 ppm; sheep, meat byproducts at 5 ppm; and
hog, meat byproducts at 5 ppm. The Agency has determined that the
increased tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty
that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue.
    In the Federal Register published December 20, 2006 (71 FR 76180)
(FRL-8105-9), tolerances for residues of glyphosate in or on sunflower,
seed and safflower, seed were increased from 0.1 to 85 ppm; however,
duplicate tolerances for these commodities were erroneously published
in 40 CFR 180.364 (a) as sunflower at 85 ppm and sunflower, seed at 0.1
ppm; and safflower at 85 ppm and safflower, seed at 0.1 ppm. The
correct terminology for these commodities is ``sunflower, seed'' and
``safflower, seed.'' Also, in the same Federal Register Notice, a
tolerance for the revised commodity definition ``vegetable, legume,
group 6 except soybean and pea, dry'' was established at 5.0 ppm, but
this tolerance was published in 40 CFR 180.364(a) in addition to the
existing tolerance for the commodity ``vegetable, legume, group 6
except soybean'' at 5.0 ppm. Therefore, EPA proposes to correct these
errors by revoking the incorrect tolerances in 40 CR 180.364(a) for
sunflower, seed at 0.1 ppm; safflower, seed at 0.1 ppm; and
``vegetable, legume, group 6 except soybean'' at 5.0 ppm; and
correcting the terminology for sunflower to ``sunflower, seed'' at 85
ppm and safflower to ``safflower, seed'' at 85 ppm.
    There are a number of Codex MRLs for glyphosate for which
harmonization

with a U.S. tolerance is not possible at this time. In the case of
fodder, hay and/or straw commodities of alfalfa, barley, bean, grasses,
maize, oat, pea, sorghum, and wheat, the U.S. tolerances are determine
on a ``wet weight'' basis where as the Codex MRLs are determined on a
``dry weight'' basis, and are, therefore, not comparable. Sugarcane
molasses, having a U.S. tolerance for glyphosate of 30 ppm, could not
be harmonized to the lower Codex MRL of 10 ppm due to the concentration
of the glyphosate residues demonstrated by processing data. Some U.S.
glyphosate tolerances could not be harmonized because the Codex MRL is
based on the individual commodity and the U.S. tolerance is a crop
group tolerance (e.g. vegetable, legume, group 6, except soybean.)
which is higher to cover all commodities in the group. The U.S.
tolerance for glyphosate in/on banana could not be lowered to harmonize
with Codex due to differing use patterns.
    8. Metolachlor. Tolerances for metolachlor in/on spinach at 0.3
ppm, grass forage at 10 ppm, grass hay at 0.2 ppm and tomato at 0.1 ppm
expired on 12/31/01 and tomato expired on 6/30/02. Based on additional
new field trial data that indicate residues as high as 8.4 ppm in/on
grass forage, 0.11 ppm in/on grass hay, 0.38 ppm in/on spinach and 0.08
ppm in/on tomatoes, the Agency has determined that permanent tolerances
should be established in /on grass, forage at 10 ppm; grass, hay at
0.20 ppm; spinach at 0.50 ppm and tomato at 0.10 ppm. The establishment
of these tolerances was inadvertently omitted from the proposal of
August 8, 2008 (72 FR 44439) (FRL-8138-8). In that proposal the Agency
also revised the terminology for the ``seed and pod vegetables (except
soybean) crop group'' which includes okra and dill commodities to the
new terminology, ``vegetable legume crop group'' which does not include
dill and okra; therefore, at that time, separate tolerances should have
been proposed for okra at 0.50 ppm and dill at 0.50 ppm. Therefore, EPA
proposes establishing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.368(a)(1) for the
combined metolachlor residues of concern in/on grass, forage at 10 ppm;
grass, hay at 0.20 ppm; spinach at 0.50 ppm; tomato at 0.10 ppm; dill
at 0.50 ppm and okra at 0.50 ppm.
    9. Napropamide. The sole registrant for napropamide requested the
cancellation of the use of napropamide on the following commodities:
Pistachio, grapefruit, lemon, orange, tangerine, nectarine, apricot,
cherry, peach, plum, prune, apple, pear, fig, avocado, pomegranate,
artichoke, and olives as published in the Federal Register on April 26,
2006 (71 FR 24687) (FRL-8059-2). Based on the cancellation of these
uses on U.S. registrations, the Agency has determined the tolerances
for artichoke, globe; avocado; fig; fruit, citrus; fruit, pome; fruit,
stone; olive; pistachio; and pomegranate (the only tolerance in 40 CFR
180.328(b)) should be revoked on April 26, 2009. This expiration/
revocation date should provide sufficient time for end users to exhaust
those existing stocks and for treated commodities to clear the channels
of trade. Also, there have been no registrations with uses on cucurbit
vegetables for some time; therefore the Agency has determined that the
tolerance in/on vegetables, cucurbit, group 9 should be revoked.
Therefore, EPA proposes revoking the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.328(a) on
the following commodities: Artichoke, globe; avocado; fig; fruit,
citrus; fruit, pome; fruit, stone; olive; and pistachio each with an
expiration/revocation date of April 26, 2009; the pomegranate tolerance
in 40 CFR 180.328(b) with an expiration/revocation date of April 26,
2009; and revoking vegetables, cucurbit, group 9 on the date of
publication of the final rule.
    Currently, tolerances are established for the negligible residues
(N) of the herbicide N,N-diethyl-2-(1-napthalenyloxy) propionamide. The
negligible residue term and designation indicating negligible residues
is no longer in accordance with Agency practice and should be removed.
The common chemical name for N,N-diethyl-2-(1-napthalenyloxy)
propionamide is napropamide and should be included in the tolerance
expression. Lastly, the section should be revised to include the
subsections for section 18 emergency exemptions and indirect or
inadvertent residues and change subsection (b) designation to (c) for
regional registrations. Therefore, the Agency proposes revising the
tolerance expression in 40 CFR 180.328(a) to regulate the herbicide
napropamide (N,N-diethyl-2-(1-napthalenyloxy) propionamide in or on
food commodities and revising the subsections as follows: ``(b) Section
18 emergency exemptions - reserved, (c) tolerances with regional
registrations -reserved and (d) indirect or inadvertent residues -
reserved.''
    The Agency is updating commodity terminology to correspond to
current practice. Currently, there is a tolerance in place for small
fruit at 0.1 ppm in 40 CFR 180.328(a) which is considered obsolete and
should be revised to correspond with current Agency commodity
terminology. The current commodity terminology for small fruit is berry
group 13 and cranberry, strawberry and grape (which were covered in the
small fruit group, but not included in the berry group). Therefore, EPA
is proposing to revise the tolerance in 40 CFR 180.328(a) for residues
of the herbicide napropamide from small fruit at 0.1 ppm to berry,
group 13 at 0.1 ppm; coffee, bean, green to coffee, green bean; and
mint to peppermint, tops and spearmint, tops; and establish tolerances
for cranberry, grape, and strawberry each at 0.1 ppm; revise vegetable,
fruiting to vegetable, fruiting, group 8; and nut to nut, tree, group
14.
    Currently, there are no Codex MRLs in place for napropamide.
    10. Norflurazon. Based on the available feeding studies in
livestock where residues of norflurazon were estimated less than 0.5
ppm in liver, the Agency determined tolerances should be established
for cattle, goat, hog, horse, and sheep liver at 0.50 ppm. Therefore,
EPA proposes increasing the tolerance in 40 CFR 180.356(a) for the
norflurazon residues of concern in/on cattle, goat, hog, horse, and
sheep, liver from 0.25 ppm to 0.50 ppm. The Agency determined that the
increased tolerances are safe; i.e. there is a reasonable certainty
that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue.
    11. Pyrazon. Based on available crop field trial data that indicate
residues of pyrazon as high as 0.79 ppm in/on garden beet roots, 4.64
ppm in/on garden beet tops, 0.14 ppm in/on sugar beet roots, 1.99 ppm
in/on sugar beet tops 0.02 ppm in milk, the Agency determined that the
tolerances should be increased to 0.9 ppm in/on beet, garden, roots;
7.0 ppm in/on beet, garden, tops; 0.2 ppm in/on beet, sugar, roots; 3.0
ppm in/on beet, sugar, tops; and 0.02 ppm in milk. The terminology
negligible residues (N) associated with tolerances in 40 CFR 180.316 is
no longer applicable and a terminology the Agency is no longer using.
Therefore, EPA proposes increasing and revising the tolerances in 40
CFR 180.316(a) for the combined residues of pyrazon and its metabolites
in/on beet, garden, roots from 0.1(N) to 0.9 ppm; beet, garden, tops
from 1 ppm to 7.0 ppm; beet, sugar, roots from 0.1(N) to 0.2 ppm; beet,
sugar, tops from 1 ppm to 3.0 ppm; and milk from 0.01(N) ppm to 0.02
ppm. The Agency determined that the increased tolerances are safe; i.e.
there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the pesticide chemical residue.

    Based on available crop field trial data and processing data that
indicate residues of pyrazon as high as 0.2 ppm and a concentration
factor of 6x in sugar beet molasses, the Agency determined that a
tolerance should be established for beet, sugar, molasses at 1.5 ppm.
Based on the available feeding studies and the estimated maximum
dietary burden in livestock that indicate pyrazon residues as high as
the level of quantitation, the Agency has determined tolerances should
be established at the combined levels of quantitation of pyrazon and
its metabolites in cattle, goat, horse, and sheep fat, meat, and meat
byproducts (except liver) at 0.10 ppm. Based on the available feeding
studies and estimated maximum dietary burden in livestock where
residues of pyrazon were estimated as high as 0.123 ppm in liver, the
Agency determined tolerances should be established for cattle, goat,
horse, and sheep liver at 0.15 ppm. Therefore, EPA proposes
establishing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.316(a) for the combined residues
of pyrazon and its metabolites in/on beet, sugar, molasses at 1.5 ppm;
cattle, fat at 0.10 ppm; cattle, liver at 0.15 ppm; cattle, meat at
0.10 ppm; cattle, meat byproducts, except liver at 0.10 ppm; goat, fat
at 0.10 ppm; goat, liver at 0.15 ppm; goat, meat at 0.10 ppm; goat,
meat byproducts, except liver at 0.10 ppm; horse, fat at 0.10 ppm;
horse, liver at 0.15 ppm; horse, meat at 0.10 ppm; horse, meat
byproducts, except liver at 0.10 ppm; sheep, fat at 0.10 ppm; sheep,
liver at 0.15 ppm; sheep, meat at 0.10 ppm; sheep, meat byproducts,
except liver at 0.10 ppm.
    Based on available rotational crop field trial data that indicate
the highest average field trial residues of pyrazon as high as 0.17 ppm
wheat forage, 0.13 ppm in wheat hay, <0.10 ppm in wheat straw, 0.30 ppm
in soybean forage and hay, and 0.30 ppm in field corn forage and
stover, the Agency determined that tolerances should be established for
the inadvertent and indirect residues of pyrazon in wheat, forage at
0.3 ppm; wheat, hay at 0.2 ppm; wheat straw at 0.1 ppm; soybean forage
and hay at 0.5 ppm; and field corn forage and stover at 0.5 ppm.
Therefore, EPA proposes establishing tolerances in 40 CFR 180.316(d)
for the combined residues of pyrazon and its metabolites in/on wheat,
forage at 0.3 ppm; wheat, hay at 0.2 ppm; wheat, straw at 0.1 ppm;
soybean, forage at 0.5 ppm; soybean, hay at 0.5 ppm; corn, field,
forage at 0.5 ppm; and corn, field, stover at 0.5 ppm.
    Currently, there are no Codex MRLs in place for pyrazon.
    12. Tau-Fluvalinate. A tolerance is currently established in 40 CFR
180.427(a) for residues of fluvalinate, (alpha RS , 2R)-fluvalinate
[(RS)-alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (R)-2-[2-chloro-4-
(trifluoromethyl)anilino]-3-methylbutanoate'' in/on honey at 0.05 ppm.
``Fluvalinate'' is the common name for the racemic mixture of the 4
isomers of cyano-(3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl N-[2-chloro-4-
(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-valinate (CAS name). ``Tau-fluvalinate'' is
the term for the half resolved mixture (2 of the 4 isomers) and is the
regulated residue. The tolerance expression should be corrected to
reflect the correct common name of tau-fluvalinate and the CAS name.
Additionally, based on available field trial data that indicate
residues of tau-fluvalinate as high as 0.015 ppm in/on honey, the
Agency determined that the tolerance should be decreased to 0.02 ppm.
The registrant submitted a comment to docket announcing the RED
requesting the tolerance be maintained at 0.05 ppm; however, they later
withdrew the request. Therefore, EPA proposes decreasing the tolerance
40 CFR 180.427(a) in/on honey from 0.05 to 0.02 ppm and revising the
tolerance expression to read as follows: ``Tolerances are established
for residues of the insecticide tau-fluvalinate [cyano-(3-
phenoxyphenyl)methyl N-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-D-
valinate].''
    Currently, there are no Codex MRLs in place for tau-fluvalinate.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    A ``tolerance'' represents the maximum level for residues of
pesticide chemicals legally allowed in or on raw agricultural
commodities and processed foods. Section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a,
as amended by FQPA of 1996, Public Law 104-170, authorizes the
establishment of tolerances, exemptions from tolerance requirements,
modifications in tolerances, and revocation of tolerances for residues
of pesticide chemicals in or on raw agricultural commodities and
processed foods. Without a tolerance or exemption, food containing
pesticide residues is considered to be unsafe and therefore
``adulterated'' under section 402(a) of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 342(a). Such
food may not be distributed in interstate commerce (21 U.S.C. 331(a)).
For a food-use pesticide to be sold and distributed, the pesticide must
not only have appropriate tolerances under the FFDCA, but also must be
registered under FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.). Food-use pesticides not
registered in the United States must have tolerances in order for
commodities treated with those pesticides to be imported into the
United States.
    EPA is proposing these tolerance actions to implement the tolerance
recommendations made during the reregistration and tolerance
reassessment processes (including follow-up on canceled or additional
uses of pesticides). As part of these processes, EPA is required to
determine whether each of the amended tolerances meets the safety
standard of FQPA. The safety finding determination is discussed in
detail in each post-FQPA RED and TRED for the active ingredient. REDs
and TREDs recommend the implementation of certain tolerance actions,
including modifications to reflect current use patterns, to meet safety
findings, and change commodity names and groupings in accordance with
new EPA policy. Printed and electronic copies of the REDs and TREDs are
available as provided in Unit II.A.
    EPA has issued post-FQPA REDs and TREDs for benfluralin, carbaryl,
diazinon, dicrotophos, fluometuron, formetanate-hydrochloride,
metolachlor, napropamide, norflurazon, pyrazon and tau-fluvalinate.
Also, EPA issued a RED prior to FQPA for glyphosate and made a safety
finding which reassessed its tolerances according to the FFDCA
standard, maintaining them when new tolerances were established as
noted in Unit II.A. REDs and TREDs contain the Agency's evaluation of
the database for these pesticides, including requirements for
additional data on the active ingredients to confirm the potential
human health and environmental risk assessments associated with current
product uses, and in REDs state conditions under which these uses and
products will be eligible for reregistration. The REDs and TREDs
recommended the establishment, modification, and/or revocation of
specific tolerances. RED and TRED recommendations such as establishing
or modifying tolerances, and in some cases revoking tolerances, are the
result of assessment under the FFDCA standard of ``reasonable certainty
of no harm.'' However, tolerance revocations recommended in REDs and
TREDs that are proposed in this document do not need such assessment
when the tolerances are no longer necessary.
    EPA's general practice is to propose revocation of tolerances for
residues of pesticide active ingredients on crops for which FIFRA
registrations no longer exist and on which the pesticide may therefore
no longer be used in the United States. EPA has historically been
concerned that retention of tolerances that are not necessary to cover
residues

in or on legally treated foods may encourage misuse of pesticides
within the United States. Nonetheless, EPA will establish and maintain
tolerances even when corresponding domestic uses are canceled if the
tolerances, which EPA refers to as ``import tolerances,'' are necessary
to allow importation into the United States of food containing such
pesticide residues. However, where there are no imported commodities
that require these import tolerances, the Agency believes it is
appropriate to revoke tolerances for unregistered pesticides in order
to prevent potential misuse.
    Furthermore, as a general matter, the Agency believes that
retention of import tolerances not needed to cover any imported food
may result in unnecessary restriction on trade of pesticides and foods.
Under section 408 of FFDCA, a tolerance may only be established or
maintained if EPA determines that the tolerance is safe based on a
number of factors, including an assessment of the aggregate exposure to
the pesticide and an assessment of the cumulative effects of such
pesticide and other substances that have a common mechanism of
toxicity. In doing so, EPA must consider potential contributions to
such exposure from all tolerances. If the cumulative risk is such that
the tolerances in aggregate are not safe, then every one of these
tolerances is potentially vulnerable to revocation. Furthermore, if
unneeded tolerances are included in the aggregate and cumulative risk
assessments, the estimated exposure to the pesticide would be inflated.
Consequently, it may be more difficult for others to obtain needed
tolerances or to register needed new uses. To avoid potential trade
restrictions, the Agency is proposing to revoke tolerances for residues
on crops uses for which FIFRA registrations no longer exist, unless
someone expresses a need for such tolerances. Through this proposed
rule, the Agency is inviting individuals who need these import
tolerances to identify themselves and the tolerances that are needed to
cover imported commodities.
    Parties interested in retention of the tolerances should be aware
that additional data may be needed to support retention. These parties
should be aware that, under FFDCA section 408(f), if the Agency
determines that additional information is reasonably required to
support the continuation of a tolerance, EPA may require that parties
interested in maintaining the tolerances provide the necessary
information. If the requisite information is not submitted, EPA may
issue an order revoking the tolerance at issue.
    When EPA establishes tolerances for pesticide residues in or on raw
agricultural commodities, consideration must be given to the possible
residues of those chemicals in meat, milk, poultry, and/or eggs
produced by animals that are fed agricultural products (for example,
grain or hay) containing pesticides residues (40 CFR 180.6). When
considering this possibility, EPA can conclude that:
    1. Finite residues will exist in meat, milk, poultry, and/or eggs.
    2. There is a reasonable expectation that finite residues will
exist.
    3. There is a reasonable expectation that finite residues will not
exist. If there is no reasonable expectation of finite pesticide
residues in or on meat, milk, poultry, or eggs, tolerances do not need
to be established for these commodities (40 CFR 180.6(b) and (c)).
    EPA has evaluated certain specific meat, milk, poultry, and egg
tolerances proposed for revocation in this document and has concluded
that there is no reasonable expectation of finite pesticide residues of
concern in or on those commodities.

C. When Do These Actions Become Effective?

    EPA is proposing that the tolerance actions become effective on the
date of publication of the final rule in the Federal Register unless
otherwise indicated (i.e. napropamide and carbaryl). The tolerances
proposed for revocation in this document are associated with uses that
have been canceled for several years. The Agency believes that treated
commodities have had sufficient time for passage through the channels
of trade. However, if EPA is presented with information that existing
stocks would still be available and that information is verified, the
Agency will consider extending the expiration date of the tolerance. If
you have comments regarding existing stocks and whether the effective
date allows sufficient time for treated commodities to clear the
channels of trade, please submit comments as described under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
    Any commodities listed in this proposal treated with the pesticides
subject to this proposal, and in the channels of trade following the
tolerance revocations, shall be subject to section 408(1)(5) of FFDCA,
as established by FQPA. Under this unit, any residues of these
pesticides in or on such food shall not render the food adulterated so
long as it is shown to the satisfaction of the Food and Drug
Administration that:
    1. The residue is present as the result of an application or use of
the pesticide at a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA,
and
    2. The residue does not exceed the level that was authorized at the
time of the application or use to be present on the food under a
tolerance or exemption from tolerance. Evidence to show that food was
lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates when the
pesticide was applied to such food.

III. Are the Proposed Actions Consistent with International
Obligations?

    The tolerance actions in this proposal are not discriminatory and
are designed to ensure that both domestically produced and imported
foods meet the food safety standards established by FFDCA. The same
food safety standards apply to domestically produced and imported
foods.
    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 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, section 408(b)(4) of FFDCA requires that EPA explain the
reasons for departing from the Codex level in a notice published for
public comment. EPA's effort to harmonize with Codex MRLs is summarized
in the tolerance reassessment section of individual REDs and TREDs, and
in the Residue Chemistry document which supports the RED and TRED, as
mentioned in Unit II.A. Specific tolerance actions in this proposed
rule and how they compare to Codex MRLs (if any) are discussed in Unit
II.A.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    In this proposed rule, EPA is proposing to establish tolerances
under FFDCA section 408(e), and also modify and revoke specific
tolerances established under FFDCA section 408. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions (e.g.,
establishment and modification of a tolerance and tolerance revocation
for which extraordinary circumstances do not

exist)] from review 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 as required by 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 other 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). Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether establishment of
tolerances, exemptions from tolerances, raising of tolerance levels,
expansion of exemptions, or revocations might significantly impact a
substantial number of small entities and concluded that, as a general
matter, these actions do not impose a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. These analyses for tolerance
establishments and modifications, and for tolerance revocations were
published on May 4, 1981 (46 FR 24950) and on December 17, 1997 (62 FR
66020) (FRL-5753-1), respectively, and were provided to the Chief
Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration. Taking into
account this analysis, and available information concerning the
pesticides listed in this proposed rule, the Agency hereby certifies
that this proposed rule will not have a significant negative economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. In a memorandum dated
May 25, 2001, EPA determined that eight conditions must all be
satisfied in order for an import tolerance or tolerance exemption
revocation to adversely affect a significant number of small entity
importers, and that there is a negligible joint probability of all
eight conditions holding simultaneously with respect to any particular
revocation. (This Agency document is available in the docket of this
proposed rule). Furthermore, for the pesticide named in this proposed
rule, the Agency knows of no extraordinary circumstances that exist as
to the present proposal that would change the EPA's previous analysis.
Any comments about the Agency's determination should be submitted to
the EPA along with comments on the proposal, and will be addressed
prior to issuing a final rule. 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 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 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 9, 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.
