II. What Does this Correction Do?
FR Doc. 06-2712 published in the Federal Register of March 22, 2006
(71 FR 14406) (FRL-7766-8), in the amendment to Sec. 180.472 is being
corrected because the table in paragraph (a) was inadvertently
published as a two column table. The table should have appeared as a
three column table. The omitted third column should include the heading
``Expiration/Revocation Date'', and the entry ``None'' to correspond to
the tolerance listed in each row. The amendment also includes a
typographical error and lists the established tolerance level for
``Oats, forage'', as ``a2.0'' parts per million. This typographical
error is being corrected as well.
III. Why is this Correction Issued as a Final Rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary
to the public interest, the agency may issue a final rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has
determined that there is good cause for making today's technical
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because the use of notice and comment procedures are unnecessary to
effectuate this correction. As such, EPA finds that this constitutes
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to this
Action?
No. This action only corrects errors in the amendatory language for
a previously published final rule and does not impose any new
requirements. EPA's compliance with the statutes and Executive Orders
for the underlying rule is discussed in Unit VII. of the March 22,
2006, final rule (71 FR 14406).
V. Congressional Review Act
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 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).
