SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

This action is directed to the public

in general. This action may, however, be

of interest to those persons who are

concerned about OMB approval for

information collection required by EPA

regulations. Since other entities may

also be interested, the Agency has not

entities that may be affected by this

action. If you have any questions

regarding the applicability of this action

to a particular entity, consult the

technical person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Get Additional

Information, Including Copies of this

Document and Other Related

Documents?

II. Background

A. Why is this Technical Amendment

Being Issued?

This document updates the OMB

control numbers listed in 40 CFR part 9

for various actions published in the

Federal Register, since July 1, 1998, and

issued under the Toxic Substances

Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601)

and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,

and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C.

136 et seq.). EPA will continue to

present OMB control numbers in a

consolidated table format in 40 CFR part

9 of the Agency’s regulations. The table

lists Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

citations with reporting, recordkeeping,

or other information collection

requirements that require OMB approval

under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.),

and the current OMB control numbers.

This listing of the OMB control numbers

and their subsequent codification in the

CFR satisfies the requirements of the

PRA and OMB’s implementing

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.

B. Why is this Technical Amendment

Issued as a Final Rule?

Under PRA, the information

collection requirements included in this

document were previously subject to

public notice and comment prior to

OMB approval, either as part of the

OMB approval process or as part of a

rulemaking. Therefore, EPA finds that

publication of a proposed rule is

unnecessary and would waste public tax

dollars. This technical amendment is

effective upon publication under the

‘‘good cause’’ clause found in section

553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative

Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.

553(b)(3)(B) which allows a regulatory

action to become final without prior

notice and comment.

C. What Corrections does this Document

Make?

1. The OMB approval numbers being

added to the table in 40 CFR 9.1 are

related to approved information

collection activities contained in the

following final rules:

Substituted Phenol; Significant New

Use Rule; Final Rule (63 FR 23678,

April 30, 1998) (FRL–5782–5). OMB

most recently approved this ongoing

collection under control number 2070–

0012 on February 19, 1997 (EPA ICR No.

574.10) (see 62 FR 10057, March 5,

1997) (FRL–5699–4).

Lead; Requirements for Hazard

Education Before Renovation of Target

39302 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 123 / Monday, June 26, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

Housing; Final Rule (63 FR 29907, June

1, 1998) (FRL–5751–7). Approved by

OMB under control number 2070–0158

on September 1, 1998 (EPA ICR No.

1669.02) (see 63 FR 57677, October 28,

1998) (FRL–6180–8).

Significant New Uses of Certain

Chemical Substances; Final Rule (63 FR

44562, August 20, 1998) (FRL–5788–7).

OMB most recently approved this

ongoing collection under control

number 2070–0012 on February 19,

1997 (EPA ICR No. 574.10 (see 62 FR

10057, March 5, 1997) (FRL–5699–4).

Significant New Uses of Certain

Chemical Substances; Final Rule (63 FR

65705, November 30, 1998) (FRL–6033–

6). OMB most recently approved this

ongoing collection under control

number 2070–0012 on February 19,

1997 (EPA ICR No. 574.10 (see 62 FR

10057, March 5, 1997) (FRL–5699–4).

Significant New Uses of Certain

Chemical Substances; Direct Final Rule

(65 FR 345, January 5, 2000) (FRL–

6055–2). OMB most recently approved

this ongoing collection under control

number 2070–0012 on February 19,

1997 (EPA ICR No. 574.10 (see 62 FR

10057, March 5, 1997) (FRL–5699–4).

2. Several entries on the table in 40

CFR 9.1 are being removed, either

because the collection activity has been

eliminated, the OMB approval has

expired, or the entry is incorrect. The

following actions are related to some of

the listed removals:

Certain Chemical Substances;

Removal of Significant New Use Rule;

Final Rule (63 FR 48127, September 9,

1998) (FRL–6020–7).

Revocation of Significant New Use

Rules for Certain Chemical Substances;

Final Rule (63 FR 64874, November 24,

1998) (FRL–6044–6).

3. The requested deletion of the

effective date notes and the

parentheticals are necessary technical

corrections. The Agency no longer uses

a parenthetical to display the OMB

approval status for regulations. These

approvals are properly listed in 40 CFR

9.1. The effective note is no longer

applicable, because OMB approved the

information collection contained in the

final rule that established § § 372.27 and

372.95 (59 FR 61502, November 30,

1994) on March 17, 1995 (EPA ICR No.

1704.02) (see 60 FR 24631, May 9, 1995)

(FRL–5204–7), and OMB has approved

the renewal of this ongoing collection

twice since, with the current approval

on February 2, 1999 (EPA ICR No.

1704.04) (See 64 FR 12316, March 12,

1999) (FRL–0239/7).

III. Regulatory Assessment

Requirements

This final rule implements a technical

correction to the CFR, and does not

impose any new requirements.

Under Executive Order 12866,

entitled Regulatory Planning and

Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993),

OMB has determined that a technical

correction is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ subject to review by

OMB.

Because this action is not

economically significant as defined by

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,

this action is not subject to Executive

Order 13045, entitled Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,

April 23, 1997).

This action will not result in

environmental justice related issues and

does not therefore, require special

consideration under Executive Order

12898, entitled Federal Actions to

Address Environmental Justice in

Minority Populations and Low-Income

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,

1994).

Since the Agency has made a ‘‘good

cause’’ finding that this action is not

subject to notice-and-comment

requirements under the APA or any

other statute (see Unit II.B.), this action

is not subject to the regulatory flexibility

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to

sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)

(Public Law 104–4). In addition, this

action does not significantly or uniquely

affect small governments or impose a

significant intergovernmental mandate,

as described in sections 203 and 204 of

UMRA. Nor does this action

significantly or uniquely affect the

communities of tribal governments as

specified by Executive Order 13084,

entitled Consultation and Coordination

with Indian Tribal Governments (63 FR

27655, May 10, 1998). This rule 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, entitled

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,

1999).

This action does not involve any

technical standards that require the

Agency’s consideration of voluntary

consensus standards pursuant to section

12(d) of the National Technology

Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995

(NTTAA), Public Law 104–113, section

12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

This rule does not contain any

information collection requirements that

require review and approval by OMB

pursuant to the PRA. The collection

activities associated with the OMB

control number contained in this

technical correction have already been

approved by OMB.

In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the

necessary steps to eliminate drafting

errors and ambiguity, minimize

potential litigation, and provide a clear

legal standard for affected conduct, as

required by section 3 of Executive Order

12988, entitled Civil Justice Reform (61

FR 4729, February 7, 1996).

EPA has complied with Executive

Order 12630, entitled Governmental

Actions and Interference with

Constitutionally Protected Property

Rights (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988), by

examining the takings implications of

this rule in accordance with the

‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk

and Avoidance of Unanticipated

Takings’’ issued under the Executive

Order.

IV. Submission to Congress and the

Comptroller General

The Congressional Review Act (CRA),

5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides

that before a rule may take effect, the

agency promulgating the rule must

submit a rule report, which includes a

copy of the rule, to each House of the

Congress and to the Comptroller General

of the United States. CRA section 808

allows the issuing agency to make a rule

effective sooner than otherwise

provided by the CRA if the agency

makes a good cause finding that notice

and public procedure is impracticable,

unnecessary or contrary to the public

interest. This determination must be

supported by a brief statement (5 U.S.C.

808(2)). As stated previously, EPA has

made such a good cause finding,

including the reasons therefore, and

established an effective date of June 26,

2000. 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 rule in

the Federal Register. This rule is not a

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2).
