II. What Does this Correction Do?
In the Federal Register of July 8, 2009, (74 FR 32456), EPA's
Office of Pesticide Programs issued an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for ``polyglyceryl phthalate ester of coconut oil fatty
acids'' pursuant to a petition by the Joint Inserts Task Force, Cluster
Support Team 23. The petition requested that an exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance for residues of polyglyceryl phthalate ester
of coconut oil fatty acids, including fatty acid coco polymers with
glyceryl and phthalic anhydride (CAS No. 67746-02-5) and coconut oil
polymer with glyceryl and phthalic anhydride (CAS No. 66070-87-9). This
technical correction corrects the name of the inert ingredient and the
CAS numbers.
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 EPA is merely correcting language that was inadvertently
mistyped in the previously published final rule. The correct inert
ingredient names and CAS Numbers were present in the Supplementary
Information Section of the July 8, 2009 final rule but were mistyped in
the tolerance exemption table. 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?
The statutory and Executive order reviews were included in the July
8, 2009 final rule.
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).
