II. Background
What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) has developed a commodity
vocabulary database entitled Food and Feed Commodity Vocabulary. The
database was developed to consolidate all the major OPP commodity
vocabularies into one standardized vocabulary. As a result, all future
pesticide tolerances issued under 40 CFR part 180 will use the
``preferred commodity term'' as listed in the aforementioned database.
This is the ninth in a series of documents revising the terminology of
commodity terms listed under 40 CFR part 180. Eight final rules,
revising pesticide tolerance nomenclature, have published in the
Federal Register: June 19, 2002 (67 FR 41802) (FRL-6835-2); June 21,
2002 (67 FR 42392) (FRL-7180-1); July 1, 2003 (68 FR 39428) (FRL-7308-
9) and (68 FR 39435) (FRL-7316-9); December 13, 2006 (71 FR 74802)
(FRL-8064-3); September 18, 2007 (72 FR 53134) (FRL-8126-5) corrected
on October 31, 2007 (72 FR 61535) (FRL-8151-4); and October 10, 2008,
(73 FR 60151) (FRL-8376-1). This revision process will establish a
uniform presentation of existing commodity terms under 40 CFR part 180.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This document makes technical amendments to the Code of Federal
Regulations which have no substantive impact on the underlying
regulations, and does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements.
As such, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has determined that
a technical amendment is not a ``significant regulatory action''
subject to review by OMB under Executive Order 12866, entitled
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because
this final rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order
12866 due to its lack of significance, this 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 rule does not contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4). Nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994); or OMB review
or any Agency action under Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997). This action does not involve any technical
standards that would require Agency consideration of voluntary
consensus standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law
104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). The Regulatory Flexibility
Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) generally requires an agency to
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice
and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure
Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will
not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities. Small entities include small businesses, small organizations,
and small governmental organizations. After considering the economic
impacts of today's rule on small entities, I certify that this action
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. These technical amendments to the Code of Federal
Regulations have no substantive impact on the underyling regulations.
These technical amendments will not have any negative economic impact
on any entities, including small entities. In addition, the Agency has
determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect
on States, on the relationship between the national government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, as specified in
[[Page 26533]]
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 rule directly regulates growers, food processors,
food handlers and food retailers, not States. This action does not
alter the relationships or distribution of power and responsibilities
established by Congress in the preemption provisions of section
408(n)(4) of the FFDCA. For these same reasons, the Agency has
determined that this rule does not have any ``tribal implications'' as
described in Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6,
2000). Executive Order 13175, requires EPA to develop an accountable
process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in
the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications.''
``Policies that have tribal implications'' is defined in the Executive
Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct effects on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.''
This 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
