SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

I. What is the background for this action?
II. What revision did the state request?
III. What action is EPA taking today?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews.

I. What is the background for this action?

    On April 11, 2013, the Illinois EPA submitted a request to EPA to
revise the SIP to provide clarification regarding GHGs as it relates to
the provisions at 35 IAC Part 254, Annual Emissions Report.
    On December 28, 2012, the Illinois EPA published a ``Notice of
Public Information'' in the Illinois Register providing a 30-day public
comment period on the proposed revision to its SIP for GHGs relating to
the annual emissions report program. The notice also provided for a
public hearing if a request for a hearing was received by January 28,
2013. The Illinois EPA received no requests for a public hearing, and
placed a ``no public hearing request'' notice on the Illinois EPA Web
site at http://www.epa.state.il.us/public-notices on February 6, 2013.

II. What revision did the state request?

    The state has requested that EPA approve revisions to 35 IAC Part
254, which requires facilities to submit an annual emissions report to
Illinois EPA. This revision is a non-substantive technical change that
clarifies that the type of annual emissions report that a source needs
to submit to Illinois EPA will not be based upon GHG emissions.
    Prior to this revision, section 254.102(a)(1) of Subpart A, General
Provisions, 35 IAC Part 254, provided that Subpart B, Reporting
Requirements for Large Sources, applied to owners or operators of any
source required to have an operating permit in accordance with 35 IAC
201 that is permitted to emit 25 tons per year or more of any
combination of regulated air pollutants. In 2011, the Illinois General
Assembly revised the definition of ``regulated air pollutant'' in
section 39.5 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act [415 Illinois
Compiled Statutes 5/39.5] to include GHGs. As a result, Illinois EPA
revised section 254.102(a)(1) of Subpart A, General Provisions, 35 IAC
Part 254, to clarify that the type of annual emissions report, i.e., a
long form or a short form, that a source is required to submit will not
be based on its GHG emissions. The revised applicability provisions at
35 IAC 254.102(a)(1) provide that Subpart B, Reporting Requirements for
Large Sources, applies to owners or operators of any source required to
have an operating permit in accordance with 35 IAC 201 that is
permitted to emit 25 tons per year or more of any combination of
regulated air pollutants, excluding greenhouse gases. Illinois EPA
anticipates that the revised rule will avoid additional costs for small
businesses, small municipalities and not-for-profit corporations who
would otherwise be required to complete a long-form annual emissions
report absent the revised rule.
    EPA finds that the revision to the applicability provisions of 35
IAC Part 254 as they relate to GHGs is acceptable.

III. What action is EPA taking today?

    EPA is approving the revision to the Illinois SIP at 35 IAC Part
254, regarding GHGs as it relates to the annual emissions report.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective September 3,
2013 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written
comments by August 2, 2013. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment. If we do not receive any comments, this action will be
effective September 3, 2013.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Clean Air Act
and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by September 3, 2013. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed
rules section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an
immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so
that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in
the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or
more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C)
(7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment
period on a request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any
minor agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The registrants have requested that EPA waive the 180-day comment
period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a 30-day comment period on the
proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use termination should submit the withdrawal in writing
to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products have been subject to a previous cancellation action, the
effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier
cancellation action are controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and amendments to
terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation order in the Federal Register.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations and for amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Table 1, Table 1A, & Table 2
of Unit II.

For: 5481-490

    For 581-490, listed in Table 1A of Unit II, the registrant
requested only 6-months after the effective date of the cancellation to
sell existing stocks, which will be the date of publication of the
cancellation order in the Federal Register. Thereafter, registrants
will be prohibited from selling or distributing the products identified
in Table 1A of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section
17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
    For all other voluntary product cancellations listed in Table 1 of
Unit II, registrants will be permitted to sell and distribute existing
stocks of voluntarily canceled products for 1 year after the

effective date of the cancellation, which will be the date of
publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register.
Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or distributing
the products identified in Table 1 of Unit II, except for export
consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7 U.S.C. 136o) or for proper
disposal.
    Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, listed in Table 2 of Unit II, registrants
will be permitted to sell or distribute products under the previously
approved labeling for a period of 18 months after the date of Federal
Register publication of the cancellation order, unless other
restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of canceled products and products whose labels include
the terminated uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that such
sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled
products and terminated uses.

II. Petition for Exemption

    In the Federal Register of August 5, 2009 (74 FR 38935) (FRL-8430-
1), EPA issued a final rule, announcing the establishment of a
tolerance exemption pursuant to a pesticide petition (PP 9E7534) by The
Joint Inerts Task Force, Cluster Support Team 1 (CST 1), c/o CropLife
America, 1156 15th Street NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20005. The
petition requested that 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and
180.960 be amended by establishing an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance for residues of a group of substances known as [alpha]-
alkyl-[omega]-hydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene)
polymers where the alkyl chain contains a minimum of 6 carbons, herein
referred to in this document as AAA.
    The current petition seeks to expand the exemptions for AAA by
adding additional CAS Reg. Nos. In the Federal Register of March 22,
2021 (86 FR 15162) (FRL-10021-44), EPA issued a document pursuant to
FFDCA section 408, 21 U.S.C. 346a, announcing the filing of a pesticide
petition (PP IN-11422) by Spring Regulatory Sciences, on behalf of
Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC, 12120 Wickchester Ln., Houston, Texas 77224.
The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and
180.960 be amended by

establishing exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance for
alcohols, C20-30, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 68439-48-5); alcohols, C16-
18, distn. residues, ethoxylated, propoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 2409830-
33-5); alcohol, C22, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 26636-40-8); poly(oxy-
1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]-(2-butyloctyl)-[omega]-hydroxy- (CAS Reg. No.
60636-37-5); 2-octyldodecan-1-ol, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 32128-65-
7); and alcohols, C16-20, branched, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 161133-
70-6). That document referenced a summary of the petition prepared by
Spring Regulatory Sciences on behalf of Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC, the
petitioner, which is available in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov.
    There were no comments received in response to the notice of
filing.
    Based upon review of the data supporting the petition, EPA
determined that CAS Reg. No. 68439-48-5 currently has exemptions from
the requirement of a tolerance under the current AAA descriptor in 40
CFR 180.910, 180.930, 180.940(a), and 180.960. EPA has confirmed that
the other petitioned CAS Reg. Nos. are acceptable for consideration
under the current AAA descriptor. This determination is based on the
Agency's risk assessments, which can be found at http://www.regulations.gov in documents ``Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylates (AAA-JITF
CST 1 Inert Ingredient), Human Health Risk Assessment to Support
Proposed Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance when used as an
Inert Ingredient in Pesticide Formulations'' and ``Alkyl Alcohol
Alkoxylates (AAA-JITF CST 1 Inert Ingredient), Human Health Risk
Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the Requirement of a
Tolerance Under 40 CFR 180.960 When Used as an Inert Ingredient in
Pesticide Formulations'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0145.

III. Inert Ingredient Definition

    Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active
ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not
limited to, the following types of ingredients (except when they have a
pesticidal efficacy of their own): solvents such as alcohols and
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty
acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as
carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing
agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents;
and emulsifiers. The term ``inert'' is not intended to imply
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active.
Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a
tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert
ingredients.

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings but does not include
occupational exposure. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to
give special consideration to exposure of infants and children to the
pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure
that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to
infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical
residue . . . .''
    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be clearly demonstrated that the risks from
aggregate exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably
foreseeable circumstances will pose no harm to human health. In order
to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert
ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in
conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient
through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as
a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to
determine that a tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(A), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure to alcohols, C16-18, distn.
residues, ethoxylated, propoxylated; alcohol, C22, ethoxylated;
poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), [alpha]- (2-butyloctyl)-[omega]-hydroxy-; 2-
octyldodecan-1-ol, ethoxylated; and alcohols, C16-20, branched,
ethoxylated, including exposure resulting from the exemptions
established by this action. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks
associated with the group of substances known as AAA follows.
    In an effort to streamline its publications in the Federal
Register, EPA is not reprinting sections that repeat what has been
previously published for tolerance rulemakings of the same pesticide
chemical. Where scientific information concerning a particular chemical
remains unchanged, the content of those sections would not vary between
tolerance rulemakings, and EPA considers referral back to those
sections as sufficient to provide an explanation of the information EPA
considered in making its safety determination for the new rulemaking.
    EPA has previously published tolerance rulemakings for AAA, in
which EPA concluded, based on the available information, that there is
a reasonable certainty that no harm would result from aggregate
exposure to AAA and established exemptions from the requirement of a
tolerance for residues of those chemicals. EPA is incorporating
previously published sections from those rulemakings as described
further in this rulemaking, as they remain unchanged.
    Toxicological Profile. EPA has evaluated the available toxicity
data and considered their validity, completeness, and reliability as
well as the relationship of the results of the studies to human risk.
EPA has also considered available information concerning the
variability of the sensitivities of major identifiable subgroups of
consumers, including infants and children. Specific information on the
studies received and the nature of the adverse effects caused by AAA as
well as the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-
observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies are
discussed in Unit IV.A. of the previous AAA tolerance rulemaking
published in the Federal Register of August 5, 2009 (74 FR 38935) (FRL-
8430-1).
    Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern. For a summary
of the Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern used for the
safety assessment, see Unit IV.B. of the August 5, 2009 rulemaking.
    Exposure Assessment. The exposure assessment associated with the
2009 rulemaking for the AAA descriptor included the potential use of
all chemicals in this category and therefore no additional exposure is
expected from

the exemptions established by this action. For a description of the
Agency's approach to and assumptions for the exposure assessments, see
Unit IV.C. of the August 5, 2009 rulemaking.
    Safety Factor for Infants and Children. EPA continues to conclude
that there is reliable data to support the reduction of the Food
Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor for infants and children
from 10X to 1X. See Unit IV.D. of the August 5, 2009 rulemaking for a
discussion of the Agency's rationale for that determination.
    Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety. EPA determines whether
acute and chronic dietary pesticide exposures are safe by comparing
dietary exposure estimates to the acute population adjusted dose (aPAD)
and the chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD). Short-, intermediate-,
and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing the estimated
aggregate food, water, and residential exposure to the appropriate
points of departure to ensure that an adequate margin of exposure (MOE)
exists. For linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the lifetime
probability of acquiring cancer given the estimated aggregate exposure.
    An acute dietary exposure assessment was not conducted as
toxicological effects attributable to a single dose were not
identified. Chronic dietary risks are below the Agency's level of
concern of 100% of the cPAD with a value of 37% of the cPAD for
children 1 to 2 years old, the population subgroup with the highest
exposure estimate. EPA concluded that the short- and intermediate-term
aggregated food, water, and residential exposures both resulted in an
aggregate MOEs of 110 for children. As the level of concern is for MOEs
that are lower than 100, these MOEs are not of concern. The AAAs are
not expected to be carcinogenic as described in Unit IV.C. of the
August 5, 2009 rulemaking. Therefore, a cancer dietary exposure
assessment is not necessary to assess cancer risk.
    Based on the risk assessment and information described above, EPA
concludes there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to
the general population, or to infants and children, from aggregate
exposure to AAA residues, including residues of alcohols, C16-18,
distn. residues, ethoxylated, propoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 2409830-33-5);
alcohol, C22, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 26636-40-8); poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), [alpha]-(2-butyloctyl)-[omega]-hydroxy- (CAS Reg. No.
60636-37-5); 2-octyldodecan-1-ol, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 32128-65-
7); and alcohols, C16-20, branched, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 161133-
70-6). More detailed information about the Agency's analysis can be
found at http://www.regulations.gov in the documents titled ``Alkyl
Alcohol Alkoxylates (AAA--JITF CST 1 Inert Ingredient), Human Health
Risk Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the Requirement of a
Tolerance When Used as an Inert Ingredient in Pesticide Formulations''
and ``Alkyl Alcohol Alkoxylates (AAA-JITF CST 1 Inert Ingredient),
Human Health Risk Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the
Requirement of a Tolerance Under 40 CFR 180.960 When Used as an Inert
Ingredient in Pesticide Formulations'' in docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2009-0145.

V. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing exemptions from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

VI. Conclusions

    Therefore, exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance are
established for residues of the following [alpha]-alkyl-[omega]-
hydroxypoly(oxypropylene) and/or poly (oxyethylene) polymers where the
alkyl chain contains a minimum of 6 carbons: alcohols, C16-18, distn.
residues, ethoxylated, propoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 2409830-33-5);
alcohol, C22, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 26636-40-8); poly(oxy-1,2-
ethanediyl), [alpha]-(2-butyloctyl)-[omega]-hydroxy- (CAS Reg. No.
60636-37-5); 2-octyldodecan-1-ol, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 32128-65-
7); and alcohols, C16-20, branched, ethoxylated (CAS Reg. No. 161133-
70-6) when used as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations pre- and
post-harvest under 40 CFR 180.910, applied to animals under 40 CFR
180.930, and in antimicrobial formulations applied to food-contact
surfaces in public eating places, dairy-processing equipment, and food-
processing equipment and utensils under 40 CFR 180.940(a).
Additionally, exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance are
established under 40 CFR 180.960 for residues of these substances with
a minimum number average molecular weight (in amu) of 1,100 when used
as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations, including
antimicrobial formulations.

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes exemptions from the requirement of a
tolerance under FFDCA section 408(d) in response to a petition
submitted to the Agency. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
exempted these types of actions from review under Executive Order
12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993). Because this action has been exempted from review
under Executive Order 12866, this action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled ``Protection of
Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not contain any information
collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 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).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the exemptions in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.), do not apply.
    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or Tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
Tribal Governments, on the relationship between the National Government
and the States or Tribal Governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this
action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    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 (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

VIII. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
