### 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.

**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 (CO 2) streams that are hazardous from the definition of hazardous waste, provided these hazardous CO 2 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.

**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 (CO 2) streams that are hazardous from the definition of hazardous waste, provided these hazardous CO 2 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. List of Subjects
