ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0888; FRL-8888-3]

Chlorantraniliprole; Pesticide Tolerances; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the Federal Register of July 27,
2011, concerning the regulation to establish pesticide tolerances for
residues of chlorantraniliprole in or on multiple commodities. This
document is being issued to correct an omission of the tolerance for
Bushberry, subgroup 13-07B.

DATES: This final rule is effective September 28, 2011.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0888. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available in http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard
copy, at the OPP Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-4400, One Potomac
Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, VA. The Docket
Facility is open from 8:30 a.m.

to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The Docket
Facility telephone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rita Kumar, Registration Division
(7505P), Office of Pesticide Programs, Environmental Protection Agency,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001; telephone
number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this action apply to me?

    The Agency included in the final rule a list of those who may be
potentially affected by this action. If you have questions regarding
the applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. What does this technical amendment Do?

    This technical amendment adds Bushberry, subgroup 13-07B to the
table in paragraph (a) to 40 CFR 180.628. On July 27, 2011 (76 FR
44815) (FRL-8875-5), the Registration Division issued in the Federal
Register an amendment to 40 CFR 180.628. In the preamble to the final
rule RD discussed the addition of several commodities and tolerances,
including a tolerance for Bushberry, subgroup 13-07B. However, the
tolerance for Bushberry was inadvertently omitted from the regulatory
amendment and the table in 180.628. This technical amendment corrects
that omission.

III. Why is this correction issued as a final rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(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 final rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has
determined that there is good cause for making this technical amendment
final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because this
omission was a typographical error. The tolerance for Bushberry,
subgroup 13-07B was included in the petitioned for tolerances, exposure
and risk evaluation, determination of safety, and conclusion sections
of the Final Rule, FR Doc. 2011-18708 published in the Federal Register
of July 27, 2011 (76 FR 44815-44821). EPA finds that this constitutes
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).

IV. Do any of the statutory and Executive Order reviews apply to this
action?

    This technical amendment adds a tolerance that was inadvertently
omitted from a previously published final rule and does not otherwise
change the original requirements of the final rule. Since this rule
corrects an omission, this action is not subject to the statutory and
Executive Order review requirements. For information about the
statutory and Executive Order review requirements as they related to
the final rule, see Unit VI. in the Federal Register of July 27, 2011
(76 FR 44815-44821) (FRL-8875-5).

V. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
United States prior to publication of this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 180

    Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure,
Agricultural commodities, Pesticides and pests, Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.

    Dated: September 15, 2011.
Daniel J. Rosenblatt,
 Acting Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.

    Therefore, 40 CFR part 180 is amended as follows:

PART 180--[AMENDED]

Re: Fw: Question regarding the Lanphear et al., 2005 study

Zach

The variable that I believe you are referring to is the average blood Pb from 6 months of age to the last blood Pb measurement before the IQ test was administered. The minimum value is 1.43 ug/dL, the value that most closely corresponds to the concurrent blood Pb is 2.0 ug/dL (3 values are less than this value), while the 1st percentile is 2.5 ug/dL. We did not produce a plot using this blood Pb index, so we were not concerned with which lowest value we would use, but any of these 3 values would be acceptable in a log-linear model.

Hope that helps.

Dr. Hornung,

We appreciate your assistance in providing clarification regarding

Figures 3 and 4 of the Lanphear et al 2005 paper.  We are in the process

of placing the information in our docket, and are writing to confirm

that the beginning of the log-linear functions in these figures begin at

1.0 ug/dL, with the reasoning for this being that 1.0 is essentially the

lowest value for concurrent lead index. Although there are 3 or 4

slightly lower values in the entire database (n=1333), the authors

decided that 1.0 was the minimum Pb value that they were comfortable

using with the log-linear model since the intercept goes to infinity as

PB moves toward zero.

In addition, would you identify for us the corresponding value for the

lifetime average blood lead metric (i.e., the lowest measured value in

the Lanphear 2005 study pooled dataset for the lifetime average metric -

the value analogous to the 1.0 ug/dL value provided for the concurrent

metric)?

Thank you,

Zach

David,

If you would forward the following question to Dr. Hornung.

Figures 3 and 4 in the Lanphear et. al., 2005 article show the

log-linear function extending down to a blood lead level in the vicinity

of 1 ug/dL. The functions in both figures are not shown to extend below

that blood lead level. I had two questions related to these figures: (a)

what is the specific blood lead level to which the figures extend down

to and (b) what is the conceptual or theoretical basis for using this

specific point of departure in the figures? In looking at the figures, I

thought it might be the lower extent of measured blood lead levels in

the pooled population (~1.0 ug/dL), but I was not sure. Thanks,

zach
