AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and its
implementing regulations, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
hereby announces that it is seeking renewal of the following currently
approved information collection activities. Before submitting these
information collection requirements for clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), FRA is soliciting public comment on
specific aspects of the activities identified below.

DATES: Comments must be received no later than August 20, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on any or all of the following
proposed activities by mail to either: Ms. Janet Wylie, Office of
Planning and Administration, RPD-3, Federal Railroad Administration,
1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 20, Washington, DC 20590, or Ms.
Kimberly Toone, Office of Information Technology, RAD-20, Federal
Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 35,

postcard stating, ``Comments on OMB control number 2130-0580.''
Alternatively, comments may be transmitted via facsimile to (202) 493-
6170, or via email to Ms. Wylie at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or to Ms. Toone
at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please refer to the assigned OMB control number
in any correspondence submitted. FRA will summarize comments received
in response to this notice in a subsequent notice and include them in
its information collection submission to OMB for approval.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Janet Wylie, Office of Planning
and Administration, RPD-3, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 20, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202)
493-6353) or Ms. Kimberly Toone, Office of Information Technology, RAD-
20, Federal Railroad Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail
Stop 35, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>). (These
telephone numbers are not toll-free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
Public Law 104-13, Sec.  2, 109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised
at 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to provide 60-days notice to the public
for comment on information collection activities before seeking
approval for reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A);
5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically, FRA
invites interested respondents to comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection activities regarding (i) Whether the
information collection activities are necessary for FRA to properly
execute its functions, including whether the activities will have
practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of FRA's estimates of the burden
of the information collection activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to determine the estimates; (iii) ways
for FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
being collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to minimize the burden of
information collection activities on the public by automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)(I)-(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(I)-(iv). FRA believes that soliciting public comment will
promote its efforts to reduce the administrative and paperwork burdens
associated with the collection of information mandated by Federal
regulations. In summary, FRA reasons that comments received will
advance three objectives: (i) Reduce reporting burdens; (ii) ensure
that it organizes information collection requirements in a ``user
friendly'' format to improve the use of such information; and (iii)
accurately assess the resources expended to retrieve and produce

information requested. See 44 U.S.C. 3501.
    Below is a brief summary of the information collection activities
that FRA will submit for clearance by OMB as required under the PRA:
    Title: Notice of Funds Availability and Solicitation of
Applications for Grants Under the Railroad Rehabilitation and Repair
Grant Program.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0580.
    Status: Regular Review.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Railroad Rehabilitation and Repair Grant Program
(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Program Number 20.314),
which was originally supported with up to $20,000,000 of Federal funds
provided to FRA as part of the Consolidated Security, Disaster
Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 110-329,
September 30, 2008). On May 27, 2009, FRA selected 12 projects,
totaling $15 million under this program. On August 5, 2010, FRA
selected 10 more projects for the remaining funds. A few revisions to
grant agreements and close-out of grants are the only remaining
activities for this program.
    Funds provided under this Program may constitute no more than 80
percent of the total cost of a selected project, with the remaining
cost funded from other non-Federal sources. Projects include repairs
and rehabilitation to Class II and Class III railroad infrastructure
damaged by hurricanes, floods, and natural disasters that are located
in counties that were identified in a Disaster Declaration for Public
Assistance issued by the President (http://www.fema.gov/news/disasters.fema#sev1).
    Class II and Class III railroad infrastructure repaired and
rehabilitated include railroad rights-of-way, bridges, signals and
other infrastructure which are part of the general railroad system of
transportation and primarily used by railroads to move freight traffic.
FRA anticipates that no further public notification will be made with
respect to this Program.
    Affected Public: State and local governments, government sponsored
authorities and corporations, railroads.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31215; Amdt. No. 3819]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective October 22, 2018. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of October 22, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd. Oklahoma City,
OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as Amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,1979) ;
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Records Governing Off-the-Record Communications; Public Notice

    This constitutes notice, in accordance with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of
the receipt of prohibited and exempt off-the-record communications.
    Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222, September 22, 1999) requires Commission
decisional employees, who make or receive a prohibited or exempt off-
the-record communication relevant to the merits of a contested
proceeding, to deliver to the Secretary of the Commission, a copy of
the communication, if written, or a summary of the substance of any
oral communication.
    Prohibited communications are included in a public, non-decisional
file associated with, but not a part of, the decisional record of the
proceeding. Unless the Commission determines that the prohibited
communication and any responses thereto should become a part of the
decisional record, the prohibited off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to respond to any facts or
contentions made in a prohibited off-the-record communication, and may
request that the Commission place the prohibited communication and
responses thereto in the decisional record. The Commission will grant
such a request only when it determines that fairness so requires. Any
person identified below as having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable proceeding in accordance with
Rule 2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
    Exempt off-the-record communications are included in the decisional
record of the proceeding, unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40 CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e) (1) (v).
    The following is a list of off-the-record communications recently
received by the Secretary of the Commission. The communications listed
are grouped chronologically, in ascending order. These filings are
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


We asked that EPA present a list of controls in the main text of the
report instead of the appendix.  Doing so would make the exposition
easier to follow.  We believe it is in EPA’s interest to make their
RIA as easy to understand as possible.

EPA should also clarify in the text how they are using OIRA recommended
interest rates.

On extrapolated costs:  Regardless of where the economic impact
assessment is, it needs to incorporate whatever assessments of
extrapolated costs that EPA has estimated.  It is not appropriate to
separate out extrapolated costs from other costs in the analysis.  We
look forward to seeing the new version of this analysis before the rule
goes public.

On the size of the impact being small:  The estimated costs of the rule,
depending on what estimate you are looking at, is $7 billion.
Economically significant rules are those whose economic effect is $100
million or more.  The impact of this rule is 70 times that threshold.
It is one of the most expensive rules being considered this year.  The
costs should not be characterized as small.

EPA did not address the question, “what are the total compliance costs
of this rule compared to the similar analysis done on the PM NAAQS?”
Please include this comparison in the text to allow the compliance cost
of the present rule to be put in its proper context.

On the EMPAX model:  Sensitivity analysis should show to what extent the
competitiveness results of the model run are driven by assumptions about
Armington and supply elasticities.  Rather than making a qualitative
statement about the relative conservative assumptions of the model, it
would be more informative for EPA to show how the results change in
response to changing key assumptions.

On location issues:  EPA states that environmental regulations are not
important factors in location decisions.  Does EPA have empirical
studies that support this statement?  If not, EPA needs to run
sensitivity analysis to reflect how their assumptions of supply
elasticities drive the results of the model.

Technological advance:  Despite philosophical objections, it would be
useful to run a model that assumes no technological advance to serve as
a worst case compliance cost scenario.  It will help put in context the
additional runs done for sensitivity analysis.

On the marginal cost econometric estimations:  DOC looks forward to
receiving the data and a description of their econometric method from
EPA.

Other DOC Comments:  We received no responses to the following comments:

Appendix 3, 3.2 Mobile Controls/Rules used in baseline and control
scenarios:

3.3[SIC].2 Implement Continuous Inspection and Maintenance Using Remote
Onboard Diagnostics (OBD)

Comment: The prior section limited consideration to Class 6 and above
trucks.  For clarity, some note should made early in the first paragraph
of this section that light vehicles are the expected target of OBD for
this analysis.

3.2.4 Commuter Programs

We used the findings from a recent Best Workplaces for Commuters survey,
which was an EPA sponsored employee trip reduction program, to estimate
the potential emissions reductions from this measure.   The BWC survey
found that, on average, employees at workplaces with comprehensive
commuter programs emit 15% fewer emissions than employees at workplaces
that do not offer a comprehensive commuter program.

Question:  Is it appropriate to assume that these results will carry
over to a larger universe of participants?  Is current participation in
BWC programs self-selected for highest possible results?  The take-up
rate should necessarily be lower as organizations become smaller and
populations become more dispersed since time costs of travel increase
and opportunities for pooling decrease. The study found that benefits
packages that don’t include financial incentives reduce emissions
about 7%.

We believe that getting 10-25% of the workforce involved in commuter
programs is realistic.

Question:  What criteria were used to determine the likelihood of
workforce involvement?

Appendix 5, 5.3 Cost information for Onroad and Nonroad Mobile Sources:

Eliminating Long Duration Truck Idling, TSE

Since TSE technology can completely eliminate long duration idling at
truck spaces (i.e. a 100% fuel savings), this translates into 2,920
gallons of fuel saved per year per space. At current diesel prices
($2.90/gallon), this fuel savings translates into $8,468.

Comment:  While TSE technology can greatly improve efficiency, it does
not eliminate fuel consumption.  The electricity used to provide power
has fuel requirements and some associated emissions.

Commuter Programs

We chose to apply the resulting average cost-effectiveness estimate to
one pollutant – NOx – in order to be able to compare commuter
reduction programs to other Nox reduction strategies. TRB reported the
cost-effectiveness of each measure, however, as a $/ton reduction of
both VOC and Nox by applying the total cost of the program to a 1:4
weighted sum of VOC and Nox [[total emissions reduction = (VOC * 1) +
(Nox * 4)).  There was not enough information in the TRB study to
isolate the $/ton cost-effectiveness for just Nox reductions, so we used
the combined Nox and VOC estimate.

Question:  Wouldn’t any calculation that reduces the result
necessarily make the results more accurate (such as dividing the result
in half or subtracting by the weighted value of VOC)?  Since the
cost-effectiveness could not be isolated, the cost-effectiveness of
controlling VOC could have contributed anywhere from 1 to 99 percent of
the reported result.  The combined estimate is the only one likely to be
biased.  TRB would have made no mention of VOC or reported it as such if
the results of any portion were 100% due to the cost-effectiveness of
controlling NOx.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is EPA taking?

    As directed by TSCA, EPA has developed draft guidance for each of
three new expanded TSCA CBI access provisions. The guidance documents
cover the content and form of the agreements and statements of need
required under each provision, and include some basic logistical
information on where and how to submit requests to EPA. EPA invites
comment from prospective guidance users and other stakeholders
concerning these draft guidance documents.

B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    TSCA section 14(c)(4)(B) requires that EPA develop guidance
concerning the ``content and form of the statements of need and
agreements required'' under TSCA section 14(d)(4), (5), and (6). 15
U.S.C. 2613.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are a state,
tribal, or local government, or are employed by a government (federal,
state, local, or tribal) or in the private sector and your duties
concern: Chemical regulation; chemical-related law enforcement;
diagnosing or treating chemical exposures; and/or chemical spill,
incident, accident, or emergency response, including injury to humans
or the environment. You may also be affected by this action if you have
or may in the future submit information to EPA that you claim qualifies
as TSCA CBI.

D. What are the potential incremental economic impacts of taking this
action?

    The potential incremental economic impacts that are associated with
the information collection activities contained in the guidance
documents are enumerated in the Information Collection Request (ICR)
entitled ``Guidance on Expanded Access to TSCA Confidential Business
Information'' (EPA ICR No. 2570.01 and OMB Control No. 2070-(new)),
which published in the Federal Register on March 12, 2018 (83 FR 10719)
(FRL-9975-24). The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 14.8 hours and
cost about $868 per response.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI to EPA through regulations.gov
or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you
claim to be CBI. For CBI in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark
the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that
does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Background

    Enacted on June 22, 2016, the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety
for the 21st Century Act (Pub. L. 114-182), changed and expanded many
parts of TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Among these changes, amended
TSCA section 14(d) expands the categories of people who may now access
TSCA CBI. TSCA CBI is information submitted to EPA under TSCA, for
which a business has made a claim of business confidentiality which has
not been withdrawn by the business, expired, or denied by EPA. There
are three new provisions expanding access to CBI, each under certain
conditions:
     Under TSCA section 14(d)(4), 15 U.S.C. 2613(d)(4), EPA may
disclose CBI to state, tribal, and local governments;
     Under TSCA section 14(d)(5), 15 U.S.C. 2613(d)(5), EPA
may, in non-emergency situations, disclose CBI to a health or
environmental professional employed by a Federal or state agency or
tribal government, or to a treating physician or nurse; and
     Under TSCA section 14(d)(6), 15 U.S.C. 2613(d)(6), EPA may
in the event of an emergency disclose CBI to a treating or responding
physician, nurse, agent of a poison control center, public health or
environmental official of a state, political subdivision of a state, or
tribal government, or to a first responder (including any individual
duly authorized by a Federal agency, state, political subdivision of a
state, or tribal government who is trained in urgent medical care or
other emergency procedures, including a police officer, firefighter, or
emergency medical technician).
    The conditions for access vary under each of the new provisions,
but generally include the following;
     The requester must show that he or she has a need for the
information related to their employment, professional, or legal duties;
     The recipient of TSCA CBI is prohibited from disclosing or
permitting further disclosure of the information to individuals not
authorized to receive it (physicians/nurses may disclose the
information to their patient); and
     EPA generally must notify the entity that made the CBI
claim at least 15 days prior to disclosing the CBI. There is an
exception for disclosures in emergency situations, which require that
EPA make the notification as soon as practicable (see TSCA section
14(g)(2)(C)(ii)).
    In addition, under these new provisions, requesters are generally
required to sign an agreement and may be required to submit a statement
of need to EPA. Emergency requestors only need to sign an agreement and
submit a statement of need if the entity who made the claim so
requests, following the notification required under TSCA section
14(g)(2)(C)(ii).

III. Draft Documents for Public Review

Draft Implementing Guidance

    The Agency developed three separate draft guidance documents
corresponding to each of the new authorities in TSCA section 14(d)(4),
(5), and (6). The conditions for access vary under each of the new
provisions, but generally include the following: Requesters must show
that they have a need for the information related to their employment,
professional, or legal duties; recipients of TSCA CBI are prohibited
from disclosing or permitting further disclosure of the information to
individuals not authorized to receive it (physicians/nurses may
disclose the information to their patient); and except in emergency
situations EPA must notify the entity that made the CBI claim at least
15 days prior to disclosing the CBI. In addition, under these new
provisions, requesters (except in some emergency situations) are
required to sign an agreement and may be required to submit a statement
of need to EPA. In accordance with the requirements of TSCA section
14(c)(4)(B), each guidance document covers the content and form of the
agreements and statements required under each provision and include
information on where and how to submit requests to EPA.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    OMB has determined that these draft guidance documents qualified as
significant under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
As such, the draft documents were submitted to OMB for review under
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). Any
changes to the documents that were made in response to OMB
recommendations have been

documented in the docket for this action as required by section
6(a)(3)(E) of Executive Order 12866.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    In the Federal Register on March 12, 2018 (83 FR 10719) (FRL-9975-
24), EPA announced the availability of and solicited comment on the
draft ICR entitled ``Guidance on Expanded Access to TSCA Confidential
Business Information'' (EPA ICR No. 2570.01 and OMB Control No. 2070-
(new)). The ICR identifies the information collection activities
contained in the draft guidance and provides EPA's estimates for the
related burden and costs. The ICR, after addressing comments received,
will be submitted to OMB for review and approval under the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    This action is not subject to the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The RFA
applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553, or any other statute. This action is not subject to the APA but is
subject to TSCA, which does not require notice and comment rulemaking
to take this action.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. As such, the
requirements of UMRA sections 202, 203, 204, or 205, 2 U.S.C. 1531-
1538, do not apply to this action.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not 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, as
specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications because it will not
have any effect on tribal governments, 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, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ``covered
regulatory action'' in section 2-202 of Executive Order 13045. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not
establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate environmental
health risks or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on energy supply,
distribution, or use. This action is proposing service fees for TSCA,
which will not have a significant effect on the supply, distribution or
use of energy.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Since this action does not involve any technical standards, NTTAA
section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) does not apply to this action.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority
populations, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples, as
specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
This action does not affect the level of protection provided to human
health or the environment.

    Authority:  15 U.S.C. 2613(c).

Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Chemical
Safety and Pollution Prevention.
