55846 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 175 / Friday, September 9, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

The EPA believes that this proposed 

action is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of NTTAA because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Population 

Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 

7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes Federal 

executive policy on environmental 

justice. Its main provision directs 

Federal agencies, to the greatest extent 

practicable and permitted by law, to 

make environmental justice part of their 

mission by identifying and addressing, 

as appropriate, disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects of their programs, 

policies, and activities on minority 

populations and low-income 

populations in the United States. 

EPA lacks the discretionary authority 

to address environmental justice in this 

proposed rule. In reviewing SIP 

submittals, EPA’s role is to approve or 

disapprove State choices, based on the 

criteria of the CAA. This action merely 

proposes to approve certain State 

requirements submitted for inclusion in 

the SIP under CAA section 110 and 

subchapter I, part D and to disapprove 

others, and will not in and of itself 

create any new requirements. 

Accordingly, it does not provide EPA 

with the discretionary authority to 

address, as appropriate, 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects, using practicable 

and legally permissible methods, under 

Executive Order 12898.

Hazardous Waste Management 

System: Identification and Listing of 

Hazardous Waste: Carbon Dioxide 

(CO2) Streams in Geologic 

Sequestration Activities 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Technical correction. 

SUMMARY: On August 8, 2011, the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA 

or the Agency) published a proposed 

rule in the Federal Register to revise the 

regulations for hazardous waste 

management under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 

to conditionally exclude carbon dioxide 

(CO2) streams that are hazardous from 

the definition of hazardous waste, 

provided these hazardous CO2 streams 

meet certain conditions. This correction 

is necessary because EPA published 

incorrect burden estimates in the 

Section VII.B. of the preamble to the 

proposed rule. However, EPA notes that 

the correct burden estimates were in the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

document prepared by EPA, submitted 

for approval to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act, and 

placed into the docket for the August 8, 

2011 proposed rule. 

DATES: Under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, comments on the information 

collection provisions must be received 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) on or before October 11, 

2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to OMB at 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 17th Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk 

Officer for EPA. In addition, send

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

On August 8, 2011, the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA 

or the Agency) published a proposed 

rule to revise the regulations for 

hazardous waste management under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA) to conditionally exclude 

carbon dioxide (CO2) streams that are 

hazardous from the definition of 

hazardous waste, provided these 

hazardous CO2 streams meet certain 

conditions. 76 FR 48073. Today’s 

correction notice is necessary because 

EPA published incorrect burden 

estimates in the preamble to the 

proposed rule. See Section VII.B. of the 

preamble (Paperwork Reduction Act). 

76 FR at 48090–91. EPA notes, however, 

that the correct burden estimates were 

in the Information Collection Request 

(ICR) document prepared by EPA, 

submitted for approval to the Office of 

Management and Budget under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq., and placed into the docket 

for the August 8, 2011 proposed rule 

(EPA–HQ–RCRA–2010–0695). The ICR 

was assigned EPA ICR number 2421.01. 

The statement in the preamble 

referenced above, which begins with 

‘‘EPA estimates * * *’’ in the first full 

paragraph of the first column on page 

48091, should read as follows: 

‘‘EPA estimates the total annual 

burden to respondents under the new 

paperwork requirements to be 27 hours 

and $2,287. However, EPA also 

estimates an annual burden savings 

under the existing RCRA subtitle C 

paperwork requirements of 103 hours 

and $8,497. Thus, this would result in 

a net annual savings of 76 hours and 

$6,210. The bottom-line burden savings 

over three years is estimated to be 228 

hours and $18,630.’’ The remainder of 

this paragraph is unchanged. 

The public is invited to comment on 

this technical correction notice and/or 

the supporting ICR document (EPA ICR 

number 2421.01). The public docket for 

this rule (EPA–HQ–RCRA–2010–0695) 

includes the full ICR document. Please 

submit any comments related to this 

technical correction notice and/or the 

full ICR document to both EPA and 

OMB. EPA is allowing for comments on 

this technical correction notice and/or 

the supporting ICR document to be 

submitted up to 30 days after the 

publication of this technical correction 

notice in the Federal Register (see 

DATES section above), but is not 

changing the October 7, 2011 deadline 

for any non-ICR related comments on 

the August 8, 2011 proposed rule. The 

final rule will respond to any comments 

on the information collection 

requirements contained in this technical 

correction notice.

Inspection of Towing Vessels 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of public meetings; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces a 

series of public meetings to receive 

comments on a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ‘‘Inspection 

of Towing Vessels’’ that was published 

in the Federal Register on August 11, 

2011. As stated in that document, the 

regulations proposed in the NPRM 

would establish safety regulations 

governing the inspection, standards, and 

safety management systems of towing 

vessels. The proposal includes 

provisions covering: Specific electrical 

and machinery requirements for new 

and existing towing vessels, the use and 

approval of third-party auditors and 

surveyors, and procedures for obtaining 

Certificates of Inspection. Without 

making a specific proposal in the NPRM 

regarding potential requirements for 

hours of service or crew endurance 

management for mariners aboard towing 

vessels, the Coast Guard also welcomes 

comments on these two important 

issues, which are discussed in the 

NPRM. 

DATES: Public meetings will be held on 

the following dates to provide an 

opportunity for oral comments: 

• Tuesday, October 18, 2011, in 

Newport News, VA, from 9 a.m. until 

5 p.m.; 

• Monday, October 24, 2011, in St. 

Louis, MO, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.; 

• Wednesday, October 26, 2011, in 

New Orleans, LA, from 9 a.m. until 

5 p.m.; 

• Wednesday, November 16, 2011, in 

Seattle, WA, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. 

Written comments and related 

material may also be submitted to Coast 

Guard personnel specified at those 

meetings for inclusion in the official 

docket for this rulemaking. The 

comment period for the NPRM closes on 

December 9, 2011. All comments and 

related material submitted after the 

meeting must either be submitted to our 

online docket via http:// 

www.regulations.gov on or before 

December 9, 2011, or reach the Docket 

Management Facility by that date. 

ADDRESSES: The public meetings will be 

held at the following locations:
