providing VR and other rehabilitation 

services (e.g., Centers for Independent 

Living, Client Assistance Programs, and 

Community Rehabilitation Programs). 

The TACE Centers contribute to the 

following outcomes: Improved quality 

of VR services, increased effectiveness 

and efficiency of State VR agencies in 

delivering VR services, and improved 

quantity and quality of VR employment 

outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities. The TACE Centers must 

contribute to these outcomes by 

providing, either directly or through 

contract, TA to State VR agencies and 

agency partners. The TACE Centers 

must also provide CE to employees of 

State VR agencies and agency partners 

on topics that are identified jointly by 

the Rehabilitation Services 

Administration and each TACE Center’s 

advisory committee, and included in the 

TACE Center’s annual work plan. 

The Department is in the process of 

reviewing and analyzing the current 

program to determine future needs, 

strategies, and funding priorities for FY 

2014. As such, we do not believe that 

it would be in the public interest to run 

a competition for new TACE Centers 

this year. 

For this reason, the Secretary waives 

the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250 and 

34 CFR 75.261(c)(2), which prohibit 

project periods exceeding five years and 

extensions of project periods involving 

the obligation of additional Federal 

funds. The Secretary also extends the 

current project period for the ten TACE 

Center grantees funded in FYs 2008 and 

2009 until September 30, 2014. 

This extension of project period and 

waiver allows the ten TACE Center 

grantees to request continuation funding 

in FY 2013 for project periods through 

FY 2014. We base our decisions 

regarding continuation awards on the 

program narratives, budgets, budget 

narratives, and program performance 

reports submitted by these ten TACE 

Center grantees and the requirements in 

34 CFR 75.253. Any activities to be 

carried out during the year of a 

continuation award must be consistent 

with, or be a logical extension of, the 

scope, goals, and objectives of a 

grantee’s application as approved in the 

2008 TACE Center competitions. The 

2008 TACE Center notices inviting 

applications will continue to govern 

these projects during the extension year. 

Waiver of Delayed Effective Date 

The Administrative Procedure Act 

requires that a substantive rule must be 

published at least 30 days before its 

effective date, except as otherwise 

provided for good cause (5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3)). We have not made any 

substantive changes to the proposed 

extension of project period and waiver. 

The Secretary has therefore determined 

to waive the delayed effective date to 

ensure timely continuation grants to the 

entities affected and continuation of the 

valuable services the TACE Centers 

provide. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

The Secretary certifies that this final 

extension of the project period and 

waiver will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. The only 

entities that will be affected are the 

current grantees and any other potential 

applicants. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

The final extension of project period 

and waiver do not contain any 

information collection requirements.

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action on updates to the list of North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) codes subject to 

reporting under the Toxics Release 

Inventory (TRI) to reflect the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 2012

reporting to TRI beginning with TRI 

reporting forms that are due on July 1, 

2014, covering releases and other waste 

management quantities for the 2013 

calendar year. In the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of today’s Federal Register, we 

are simultaneously publishing the 2012 

OMB NAICS revisions for TRI Reporting 

as a proposed rule. If we receive no 

adverse comment, this direct final rule 

will become effective as specified 

herein, and we will withdraw the 

proposed rule. If, however, we do 

receive adverse comments in response 

to this direct final rule or the proposed
