Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 5, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 41371

Remedial Action (RA) work was

formally initiated. U.S. EPA and Ohio

Environmental Protection Agency

(OEPA) conducted a prefinal inspection

on November 19, 1992. Incineration of

all required material was completed on

November 25, 1992. EPA approved the

RA report on December 22, 1992.

The FR RD was formally approved

and the RA work initiated in March

1992. The FR included construction of

a slurry wall to facilitate site dewatering

in addition to the diversion trenches

provided for in the ROD. A letter dated

September 21, 1993 from the PRP

Laskin/Poplar Site Group certified that

all RA activities were performed

according to design specifications,

contractor plan, and EPA and OEPA

approved modifications. EPA conducted

a final inspection on September 20,

1993, and approved a Preliminary Close

Out Report on September 23, 1993.

Since completion of construction, the

Site has been monitored and inspected

in accordance with a EPA approved

Inspection, Maintenance and

Monitoring Plan. In accordance with

this plan, quarterly groundwater and

surface water monitoring was conducted

in 1994, 1995, and 1996, and semiannual groundwater and surface water

monitoring was conducted in 1997 and

1998.

A five-year review pursuant to

OSWER Directive 9355.7–02 (‘‘Structure

and Components of Five-Year Reviews’’)

was conducted at the Site and a report

of its conclusions was signed in May

1999. The five-year review report

concluded that the remedial action

selected for this Site remains protective

of human health and the environment.

The review determined that

groundwater monitoring conducted over

the five years since completion of

construction has demonstrated that the

groundwater has consistently been

lowered below the unweathered shale,

and that the data has not identified an

impact of the Site on groundwater of

surface water.

V. Action

In its review of the five year review

report, Engineering Management Inc.,

the Laskin Remedial Trust Fund’s

contractor correctly pointed out that the

non-incinerable materials that were

potentially dioxin-contaminated were

decontaminated sampled, and found to

contain less the 1 ppb of dioxin. As a

result, it was not necessary to store any

dioxin-contaminated material in a

proposed vault below the cap, and this

part of the remedy was eliminated. A

small amount of asbestos-contaminated

material was encased in what has been

referred to as a ‘‘concrete vault’’ on site

diagrams, but this vault is not the vault

referred to in the ROD. The five year

review found that the Site inspections

have indentified a concern about slope

stability, as well as routine erosion

problems. The on-going inspection and

maintenance program will address these

problems. The next five year review

should be completed by October 15,

2000.

On June 30, 1999, EPA approved

discontinuing the periodic groundwater

and surface water sampling. However,

periodic water level monitoring,

inspections, and maintenance activities

will continue, and groundwater and

surface water sampling can resume if

necessary.

EPA, will the State of Ohio’s

concurrence, has determined that all

appropriate Fund-financed responses

under CERCLA at the Ladkin-Poplar Oil

Company Superfund Site have been

completed, and no further CERCLA

response is appropriate or necessary in

order to provide protection of human

health and the environment other than

the ongoing inspection, maintenance

and monitoring activities. Therefore,

EPA is deleting the Site from the NPL.

This action will be effective

September 5, 2000. However, if EPA

receives dissenting comments by August

4, 2000, EPA will publish a document

that withdraws this action.

II. What Action is EPA Taking?

In this document, EPA is issuing a

final TSCA section 8(a) ‘‘Preliminary

Assessment Information Reporting’’

(PAIR) rule for 29 alkylphenols,

alkylphenol ethoxylates, and

polyalkylphenols recommended for

testing in the 41st TSCA ITC Report to

the EPA Administrator published in the

Federal Register of April 9, 1998 (63 FR

17658) (FRL–5773–5).

III. What is the Preliminary Assessment

Information Reporting (PAIR) Rule?

EPA promulgated the PAIR rule in 40

CFR part 712 under section 8(a) of

TSCA (15 U.S.C. 2607(a)). This model

section 8(a) rule establishes standard

reporting requirements for

manufacturers (including importers) of

the chemicals listed in the rule at 40

CFR 712.30. These entities are required

to submit a one-time report on general

production/importation volume, end

use, and exposure-related information

using the Preliminary Assessment

Information Manufacturer’s Report (EPA

Form No. 7710–35). EPA uses this

model section 8(a) rule to quickly gather

current information on chemicals.

This model rule provides for the

automatic addition of ITC Priority

Testing List chemicals. Whenever EPA

announces the receipt of an ITC Report,

EPA may, at the same time and without

providing notice and opportunity for

public comment, amend the model

information-gathering rule by adding

the recommended (or designated)

chemicals. The amendment adding

these chemicals to the PAIR rule is

effective August 4, 2000.

IV. What Chemicals are to be Added ?

In its 41st Report to EPA, the ITC

recommended 29 alkylphenols,

alkylphenol ethoxylates, and

polyalkylphenols. These chemicals can

be automatically added to the TSCA

section 8(a) PAIR reporting rule.

The regulatory text (§ 712.30(e)) of

this document lists the 29 alkylphenols,

alkylphenol ethoxylates, and

polyalkylphenols that are being added

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 5, 2000 / Rules and Regulations 41373

to the PAIR rule as a result of this

document.

V. Who Must Report Under this PAIR

Rule?

All persons who manufactured

(defined by statute to include import)

the 29 alkylphenols, alkylphenol

ethoxylates, and polyalkylphenols

identified in the regulatory text

(§ 712.30(e)) of this rule during their

latest complete corporate fiscal year

must submit a Preliminary Assessment

Information Manufacturer’s Report (EPA

Form No. 7710–35) for each site at

which they manufactured or imported a

named substance. A separate form must

be completed for each substance and

submitted to the Agency as specified in

40 CFR 712.28 no later than October 3,

2000. Persons who have previously and

voluntarily submitted a Manufacturer’s

Report to the ITC or EPA may be able

to submit a copy of the original report

to EPA or to notify EPA by letter of their

desire to have this voluntary submission

accepted in lieu of a current data

submission. See § 712.30(a)(3).

Details of the PAIR reporting

requirements, including the basis for

exemptions, are provided in 40 CFR part

712. Copies of the form are available

from the TSCA Environmental

Assistance Division at the address listed

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. Copies of the PAIR form are

also available electronically from the

Chemical Testing and Information

Gathering Home Page on the Internet at

http://www.epa.gov/opptintr/chemtest/.

VI. Removal of Chemical Substances

from the PAIR Rule

Any person who believes that section

8(a) reporting required by this rule is

not warranted, should promptly submit

to EPA on or before July 19, 2000,

detailed reasons for that belief. EPA, in

its discretion, may remove the substance

from this rule (see 40 CFR 712.30(c)).

When withdrawing a chemical from the

rule, EPA will publish a rule

amendment in the Federal Register.

VII. Public Record

The following documents constitute

the public record for this rule under

docket control number OPPTS–82054.

1. This final rule.

2. The Economic Analysis for this rule

(February 10, 2000).

3. The 41st Report of the ITC (63 FR

17658, April 9, 1998) (FRL–5773–5).

VIII. Why is this Action Being Issued as

a Final Rule?

EPA is publishing this action as a

final rule without prior notice and an

opportunity to comment because the

Agency believes that providing notice

and an opportunity to comment is

unnecessary. As discussed in Unit III.,

whenever EPA announces the receipt of

an ITC report, EPA may, at the same

time and without providing notice and

opportunity for public comment, amend

the model information-gathering rule by

adding the recommended (or

designated) chemicals. EPA finds,

therefore, that there is ‘‘good cause’’

under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5

U.S.C. 553 (b)(3)(B)) to make these

amendments without prior notice and

comment.

IX. Economic Analysis

The economic analysis for the

addition of the 29 alkylphenols,

alkylphenol ethoxylates, and

polyalkylphenols to the TSCA section

8(a) PAIR rule is entitled ‘‘Economic

Analysis for the Addition of 29

Chemicals Recommended for Testing in

the 41st Report of the TSCA Interagency

Testing Committee to EPA’s Preliminary

Assessment Information Reporting

(PAIR) Rule’’ (February 10, 2000)

(Economic Analysis).

EPA’s 1998 Chemical Update System

(CUS) was searched to identify

manufacturers (including importers) of

the 29 CAS-numbered alkylphenols,

alkylphenol ethoxylates, and

polyalkylphenols recommended in the

ITC’s 41st Report. Only 5 of the 29

chemicals were located in CUS

indicating, for example, that the other

chemicals are not being produced or

imported in quantities large enough to

be reported to EPA for 1998 under the

TSCA Inventory Update Rule (IUR) (40

CFR part 710) or are not subject to

reporting under the IUR. The Economic

Analysis estimates governmental and

industry burden and costs associated

with this final rule based upon the data

regarding the five chemical substances

found in CUS. Six firms were identified

as manufacturers of the chemical, at

eight sites. The costs and burden

associated with this rule are estimated

in the Economic Analysis to be the

following:

Reporting Costs (dollars)

9 reports estimated at $1977.29 per

report = $17,795.62

Total Cost = $17,795.62

Mean cost per site/firm = $17,795.62/

8 sites = $2,224.45/site

Reporting Burden (hours)

Rule familiarization: 7 hours/site x 8

sites = 56 hours

Reporting: 21.6 hours/report x 9

reports = 194 hours

Total burden hours = 250 hours

Average burden per site/firm = 250

hours/8 sites = 31.3 hours/site

EPA Costs (dollars)

The annual costs to the Federal

Government will be approximately

0.0227 FTEs (or 47.25 hours annually).

At an estimated $75,306 per FTE, the

total 0.0227 FTEs ($1709.45), plus

$1,834.92 for data processing, will cost

EPA $3,544.37.

X. Regulatory Assessment

Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866

The Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) has exempted actions under

TSCA section 8(a) related to the PAIR

rule from the requirements of Executive

Order 12866, entitled Regulatory

Planning and Review (58 FR 51735,

October 4, 1993).

B. Executive Order 12898

This action does not involve special

considerations of environmental justicerelated issues pursuant to Executive

Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to

Address Environmental Justice in

Minority Populations and Low-Income

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,

1994).

C. Executive Order 13045

Executive Order 13045, entitled

Protection of Children from

Environmental Health Risks and Safety

Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),

does not apply to this final rule, because

it is not ‘‘economically significant’’ as

defined under Executive Order 12866,

and does not concern an environmental

health or safety risk that may have a

disproportionate effect on children. This

rule requires the reporting of

production, importation, use, and

exposure-related information to EPA by

manufacturers (including importers) of

certain chemicals recommended in the

41st Report of the TSCA ITC.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act

Pursuant to section 605(b) of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5

U.S.C. 601 et seq., the Agency hereby

certifies that this rule will not have a

significant impact on a substantial

number of small entities. The factual

basis for the Agency’s determination is

presented in the small entity analysis

prepared as a part of the Economic

Analysis for this rule, and is briefly

summarized here. Three of the six firms

identified as manufacturers of chemicals

affected by this rule met the Small

Business Administration definition of a

small business, (i.e., having less than

1,000 employees when combined with

any corporate parents). Based on the

41374 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 5, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

Agency’s analysis, the maximum

potential impact of this action on an

individual firm is estimated to be less

than $2,224, regardless of the firm’s

size. To determine the potential

significance of the estimated impact of

this action on the small firms, the

Agency compared the estimated

maximum potential cost with the

estimated annual sales revenue for these

firms. Based on currently available

financial information for these firms,

EPA has determined that this action will

not result in a significant impact on any

of these firms. Information relating to

this EPA determination is included in

the docket for this rulemaking (OPPTS–

82054). Any comments regarding the

economic impacts that this action

imposes on small entities should be

submitted to the Agency at the address

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.

E. Paperwork Reduction Act

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction

Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an

Agency may not conduct or sponsor,

and a person is not required to respond

to, a collection of information that is

subject to approval under the PRA

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number. The OMB control

numbers for EPA’s regulations, after

appearing in the preamble of the final

rule, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and

included on the related collection

instrument. The information collection

activities related to this action have

already been approved by OMB, under

OMB control number 2070–0054 (EPA

ICR No. 586) for PAIR reporting. This

action does not impose any burdens

requiring additional OMB approval. The

public reporting burden for this

collection of information is estimated to

be 250 hours. Of that total, an estimated

56 hours are spent in an initial review

of the rule, and the remaining 194 hours

are associated with actual reporting

activities (Economic Analysis). Because

this rule does not contain any new

information collection activities,

additional review and approval of these

activities by OMB under the PRA is not

necessary.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and

Executive Orders 13084 and 13132

Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA),

Public Law 104–4, EPA has determined

that this rule does not contain a Federal

mandate that may result in expenditures

of $100 million or more for State, local,

and tribal governments, in the aggregate,

or the private sector in any 1 year. In

addition, EPA has determined that this

rule will not significantly or uniquely

affect small governments. Accordingly,

the rule is not subject to the

requirements of UMRA sections 202,

203, 204, or 205.

Based on EPA’s experience with past

TSCA section 8(a) rulemakings, State,

local, and tribal governments have not

been impacted by these rulemakings,

and EPA does not have any reasons to

believe that any State, local, or tribal

government will be impacted by this

rulemaking. As a result, this action is

not subject to the requirement for prior

consultation with Indian tribal

governments as specified in Executive

Order 13084, entitled Consultation and

Coordination with Indian Tribal

Governments (63 FR 27655, May 19,

1998). Nor will this action have a

substantial direct effect on 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).

G. National Technology Transfer and

Advancement Act

This action does not involve any

technical standards that would require

Agency 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). Section 12(d)

of NTTAA directs EPA to use voluntary

consensus standards in its regulatory

activities unless to do so would be

inconsistent with applicable law or

otherwise impractical. Voluntary

consensus standards are technical

standards (e.g., materials specifications,

test methods, sampling procedures, and

business practices) that are developed or

adopted by voluntary consensus

standards bodies. The NTTAA directs

EPA to provide Congress, through OMB,

explanations when the Agency decides

not to use available and applicable

voluntary consensus standards. EPA

invites public comment on the Agency’s

determination that this regulatory action

does not require the consideration of

voluntary consensus standards.

H. Executive Order 12988

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).

I. Executive Order 12630

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.

XI. Congressional Review Act

The Congressional Review Act, 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. Section 808 allows

the issuing agency to make 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). EPA has

made such a good cause finding for this

final rule, and established an effective

date of August 4, 2000. Pursuant to 5

U.S.C. 808(2), this determination is

supported by the brief statement in Unit

VIII. EPA will submit a report

containing this final 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 the rule in

the Federal Register. This is not a

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2).

Radio Broadcasting Services; Mojave,

CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel

241A to Mojave, California, as that

community’s second local FM

transmission service, in response to a

petition for rule making filed on behalf

of Linda A. Davidson. See 64 FR 73460,

December 30, 1999. Although the

petitioner did not file supporting

comments, an expression of interest in

pursuing the proposal was filed on

behalf of Lazer Broadcasting Corp.

Coordinates used for Channel 241A at

Mojave, California, are 35–06–11 NL

and 118–10–22 WL. As Mojave is

located within 320 kilometers (199

miles) of the U.S.-Mexico border,

concurrence of the Mexican government

was requested but has not been

received. As the allotment complies

with the terms of the 1992 USA-Mexico

FM Broadcast Agreement

(‘‘Agreement’’), Channel 241A has been

allotted to Mojave with an interim

operating condition which may be

removed once an official response from

the Mexican government has been

obtained.

DATES: Effective August 7, 2000. A filing

window for Channel 241A at Mojave,

California, will not be opened at this

time. Instead, the issue of opening a

filing window for this channel will be

addressed by the Commission in a

subsequent Order.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
