II. What Does this Correction Do?
The final rule, identified as FR Doc. E7-19947 that published in
the Federal Register of October 10, 2007 (72 FR 57492) (FRL-8149-9) is
corrected to fix a technical error, specifically, the omission of the
complete tolerance expression for the combined residues of the
insecticide spinetoram under Unit V. (page 57498, second column) and in
the regulatory text section (page 57499, first column) of the final
rule.
Unit V. Conclusion, on page 57498, second column, is corrected to
read as follows:
``Therefore, the tolerance is established for the combined
residues of the insecticide spinetoram, expressed as a combination
of XDE-175-J: 1-H-as-indaceno[3,2-d]oxacyclododecin-7,15-dione, 2-

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
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment,
because this final rule corrects a technical error and does not
otherwise change the original requirements of the final rule. 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 final rule corrects a technical error and does not otherwise
change the requirements in the final rule. As a technical correction,
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 October 10, 2007.
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).
