The final rule, identified as FR Doc. E719947 that published in the Federal Register of October 10, 2007 (72 FR 57492) (FRL81499) 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 XDE175J: 1Hasindaceno[3,2d]oxacyclododecin7,15dione, 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).
