for the voluntary consensus standard 

search and determinations can be found 

in the memorandum titled, Voluntary 

Consensus Standard Results for Review 

of Standards of Performance for Volatile 

Organic Liquid Storage Vessels 

(Including Petroleum Liquid Storage 

Vessels). All potential standards were 

reviewed to determine the practicality 

of the voluntary consensus standards 

(VCS) for this rule. Although there were 

no applicable voluntary consensus 

standards identified, we are amending 

40 CFR 60.17 to incorporate by 

reference two ASTM methods as 

discussed in section III.M. These 

include the following: 

• ASTM D6377–20, ‘‘Standard Test 

Method for Determination of Vapor 

Pressure of Crude Oil: 

VPCRx (Expansion Method). The method 

is an automated device method for 

measuring vapor pressures for crude oils 

samples between 29 kPa and 180 kPa at 

37.8 °C. The method is suitable for 

testing with a 4:1 vapor-liquid ratio. 

• ASTM D6378–22, ‘‘Standard Test 

Method for Determination of Vapor 

Pressure (VPX) of Petroleum Products, 

Hydrocarbons, and HydrocarbonOxygenate Mixtures (Triple Expansion 

Method). The method is an automated 

device method for measuring vapor 

pressures between 7 kPa and 150 kPa at 

37.8 °C for tested samples with boiling 

points at 0 °C. The method is suitable 

for volatile organic liquids, 

hydrocarbons and liquid petroleum 

products sampled at a 4:1 vapor-liquid 

ratio. 

The ASTM standards are available 

from the American Society for Testing 

and Materials (ASTM), 100 Barr Harbor 

Drive, Post Office Box C700, West 

Conshohocken, PA 19428–2959. See

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations and Executive 

Order 14096: Revitalizing our Nation’s 

Commitment to Environmental Justice 

for All 

The EPA believes that it is not 

practicable to assess whether the human 

health or environmental conditions that 

exist prior to this action result in 

disproportionate and adverse effects on 

communities with EJ concerns. Over the 

next 5 years, the EPA estimates that 

1,440 new tanks and 27 modified tanks 

will be subject to NSPS subpart Kc. 

However, the locations of any new VOL 

storage vessels that would be subject to 

NSPS subpart Kc are not known. 

Furthermore, there is insufficient data 

available regarding the locations of 

existing VOL storage vessels is also not 

known. The EPA estimates that there are 

approximately more than 10,000 

existing vessels subject to NSPS subpart 

Kb, but do not have a list of specific 

units and their locations. Therefore, we 

cannot perform a proximity 

demographic analysis of populations 

near existing units as a proxy for units 

that may be modified or reconstructed 

and become subject to NSPS subpart Kc. 

Finally, because we based the analysis 

of the impacts and emission reductions 

on model plants, we are not able to 

ascertain specifically how the potential 

benefits of this rule would be 

distributed across the population. Thus, 

we are limited in our ability to estimate 

the potential EJ impacts of this rule. 

The information supporting this 

Executive Order review is contained in 

in section IV.E. All pertinent supporting 

documents such as the technical memo, 

‘‘Control Options for Storage Vessels’’ 

which discusses the costs and 

environmental impacts of the regulatory 

options considered have been placed in 

the docket.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Statutory Mandate 

On March 18, 2022, the President 

signed into law the John Lewis NIMHD 

Research Endowment Revitalization Act 

of 2021, Public Law (Pub. L.) 117–104. 

Section 2 of this law amended section 

464z–3(h) of the Public Health Service 

(PHS) Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 

285t(h)) by revising program eligibility 

requirements to include eligible current 

or former Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) centers of 

excellence under section 736 of the PHS 

Act and eligible current or former 

NIMHD centers of excellence under 

section 464z–4 of the PHS Act. 

The program was originally 

authorized under the Minority Health 

and Health Disparities Research and 

Education Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106– 

525). The law provided annual funding 

for up to five years to the endowments 

of active eligible HRSA centers of 

excellence. In 2010, the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act 

(Pub. L. 111–148) expanded eligibility 

to include active eligible NIMHD 

centers of excellence. The recently 

enacted Pub. L. 117–104 expanded the 

eligibility for NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program awards to eligible 

current or former HRSA and NIMHD 

centers of excellence. Endowment funds 

must be invested and maintained for at 

least 20 years after the award period 

ends. 

The objective of the program and its 

awards is to build research and training 

capacity and infrastructure at eligible 

HRSA or NIMHD centers of excellence 

to facilitate minority health and other 

health disparities research and to close 

the disparity gap in the burden of illness 

and death experienced by racial and 

ethnic minority Americans and other 

health disparity populations. Program 

activities may include strengthening the 

research infrastructure through the 

renovation of facilities, purchasing of 

state-of-the-art instruments and 

equipment, and enhancing information 

technology; enhancing the academic 

environment by recruiting a diverse 

faculty and creating relevant courses, in 

addition to the existing curriculum, 

such as research methodology and 

health disparities; enhancing 

recruitment of individuals currently 

underrepresented in the biomedical, 

clinical, behavioral, and social sciences; 

and/or other relevant activities. The 

expansion of eligibility for the program, 

recently renamed the John Lewis 

NIMHD Research Endowment Program, 

to include eligible current or former 

HRSA and NIMHD centers of excellence 

will serve to expand the national 

capacity of academic institutions to 

conduct research to improve minority 

health and reduce health disparities. 

Public Law 117–104 did not change 

program goals, which remain the same: 

assist institutions to build minority 

health and health disparities research 

capacity and infrastructure; increase the 

diversity and quality of the scientific 

workforce; and enhance the training in 

research methods to improve minority 

health and decrease health disparities. 

Also unchanged is the requirement that 

awardees provide a 5-year strategic plan 

that establishes priorities for the use and 

growth of endowment fund income that 

reflects these goals. 

Implementation of Public Law 117– 

104 necessitates HHS, through NIH, to 

update the regulation codified at 42 CFR 

part 52i that governs the program. 

Specifically, paragraph (a)(1) of § 52i.3 

‘‘Who is eligible to apply?’’ needs to be 

updated to specify the expanded 

statutory eligibility for program awards, 

such that eligible current or former 

centers of excellence under section 736 

(42 U.S.C. 293) or section 464z–4 (42 

U.S.C. 285t–1) of the PHS Act, 

respectively, may now apply. 

Additionally, following enactment of 

Public Law 117–104, NIMHD changed 

the name of the program from the 

NIMHD Research Endowment Program 

to the John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program to reflect the 

honor that the United States Congress 

bestowed upon John Lewis by naming 

the legislation expanding eligibility for 

the program after him. John Robert 

Lewis served in the U.S. House of 

Representatives, representing Georgia’s 

5th Congressional District from 1987 

until his death in 2020 with 

longstanding commitment to improving 

minority health and health disparities. 

Consequently, the heading of the 

regulation that governs the program 

must be amended to reflect the new 

name of the program. 

Other aspects of the regulation also 

need to be updated. In the heading for 

§ 52i.1 and in the accompanying Table 

of Contents reference to § 52i.1, the 

word ‘‘programs’’ in ‘‘To what programs 

does this part apply?’’ needs to be 

changed to ‘‘program’’ to correctly 

indicate that there is only one program 

to which part 52i applies, not multiple 

programs as the current heading 

incorrectly indicates. 

Additionally, in § 52i.13, ‘‘Other HHS 

policies and regulations that apply’’, 

there are outdated references to several 

regulations and policies with URLs that 

are not operational. The current 

references in paragraph (f) ‘‘45 CFR part 

74—Uniform administrative 

requirements for awards and subawards 

to institutions of higher education, 

hospitals, other nonprofit organizations, 

and commercial organizations; and the 

certain grants and agreements with 

states, local governments and Indian 

tribal governments’’, and paragraph (m) 

‘‘45 CFR part 92—Uniform 

administrative requirements for grants 

and cooperative agreements to State, 

local and tribal governments’’ are 

outdated and must be revised. The 

current references in paragraphs (o) 

concerning NIH Guidelines for Research 

Involving Recombinant or Synthetic 

Nucleic Acid Molecules, (p) concerning 

NIH Guidelines on the Inclusion of 

Women and Minorities as Subjects in 

Clinical Research, (q) concerning NIH 

Grants Policy Statement, and (r) 

concerning Public Health Service Policy 

on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory 

Animals contain outdated information 

and, in some cases, the URLs are not 

operational. These paragraphs need to 

be updated. 

Previously, HHS issued a direct final 

rule on November 16, 2020 (85 FR 

72899–72912) amending certain 

regulations as part of its Regulatory 

Clean Up Initiative to make 

miscellaneous corrections, including 

correcting references to other 

regulations, misspellings and other 

typographical errors. These corrections 

included several changes in 42 CFR part 

52i. However, the revisions that now are 

necessary in § 52i.13 were not included 

in the direct final rule. 

II. Summary of Proposed Changes 

With this NPRM, we propose to 

amend the Code of Federal Regulations 

by revising the heading for 42 CFR part 

52i to read ‘‘Part 52i—John Lewis 

NIMHD Research Endowment Program’’ 

to reflect the new name of the program, 

the John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program. 

We propose to amend the heading for 

§ 52i.1 ‘‘To what programs does this part 

apply?’’ by removing the word 

‘‘programs’’ and adding the word 

‘‘program’’ in its place to indicate that 

there is only one program, the John 

Lewis NIMHD Research Endowment 

Program, to which part 52i applies. 

We propose to amend § 52i.3 ‘‘Who is 

eligible to apply?’’ by revising paragraph 

(a)(1) to read as follows: ‘‘Must be a 

current or former center of excellence 

under section 736 (42 U.S.C. 293) or 

section 464z–4 (42 U.S.C. 285t–1) of the 

Act, and’’. 

We propose to amend § 52i.13 ‘‘Other 

HHS policies and regulations that 

apply’’ by: 

(1) Revising current paragraph (f); 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 4, 2023 / Proposed Rules 68555 

(2) Removing current paragraph (m), 

and redesignating current paragraph (n) 

as new paragraph (m); 

(3) Redesignating current paragraph 

(o) as new paragraph (n) and revising it; 

(4) Redesignating current paragraph 

(p) as new paragraph (o) and revising it; 

(5) Redesignating current paragraph 

(q) as new paragraph (p) and revising it; 

(6) Redesignating current paragraph 

(r) as new paragraph (q) and revising it; 

and 

(7) Removing paragraph (r). 

Making the changes that are necessary 

to implement Public Law 117–104 and 

the other changes will ensure the 

regulation is up to date. This rule, if and 

when finalized, will add transparency 

for potential applicants regarding who is 

eligible to apply for a grant under the 

John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program. 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

We examined the impacts of this 

proposed rule under Executive Order 

(E.O.) 12866, Regulatory Planning and 

Review; E.O. 13563, Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review; E.O. 

14094, Modernizing Regulatory Review; 

E.O. 13132, Federalism; the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612); and 

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995 (Pub. L. 104–4). 

Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 

14094 

E.O. 12866 and E.O. 13563, as 

supplemented and reaffirmed by E.O. 

14094, direct Federal agencies to assess 

all costs and benefits of available 

regulatory alternatives and, if regulation 

is necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and equity) 

for all significant regulatory actions. A 

regulatory impact analysis (RIA) must 

be prepared for major rules with 

economically significant effects of $200 

million or more in any one year, 

adjusted every 3 years by the 

Administrator of the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs 

(OIRA). Based on our analysis, this rule 

which proposes changes of a technical 

nature does not constitute a significant 

or economically significant regulatory 

action, and an RIA is unnecessary. 

Executive Order 13132 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism, 

requires Federal agencies to consult 

with State and local government 

officials in the development of 

regulatory policies with federalism 

implications. We reviewed the 

rulemaking as required under the Order 

and determined that it does not have 

any federalism implications. This 

rulemaking will not have effect on the 

states or on the distribution of power 

and responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601–612) requires agencies to 

analyze regulatory options that would 

minimize any significant impact of the 

rule on small entities. For this analysis, 

small entities include small business 

concerns as defined by the Small 

Business Administration (SBA), usually 

businesses with fewer than 500 

employees. Also, a not-for-profit entity 

is defined by the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act as small if it is independently 

owned and operated and not dominant 

in its field, regardless of the number of 

employees. Eligibility requirements of 

the John Lewis NIMHD Research 

Endowment Program, as codified in 

Public Law 117–104, limits the universe 

of potential applicants to an estimated 

maximum of 42 institutions of higher 

education (IHEs). Utilizing sources of 

information such as local business 

bureaus, workforce statistics, and 

institution websites, a reasonable 

determination can be made from the 

approximate number of employees of 

eligible institutions. The range estimates 

are from 51–200 employees for the 

smallest institution to 10,600 employees 

for the largest. While most eligible 

institutions are considered small 

entities, the impact of this rulemaking 

will not exceed 5 percent of revenues of 

the entities. Accordingly, the Secretary 

certifies this rulemaking will not have a 

significant impact on a significant 

number of small entities. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

Section 202(a) of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 requires 

agencies to prepare a written statement, 

to include an assessment of anticipated 

costs and benefits, before proposing any 

rule that includes a Federal mandate 

that may result in the expenditure by 

State, local and tribal governments or 

more, in the aggregate or by the private 

sector, of $100,000,000 [adjusted 

annually for inflation (with base year 

1995)] in any 1 year. The current 

inflation-adjusted statutory threshold is 

approximately $156 million based on 

the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation 

calculator. The Secretary certifies that 

this rulemaking does not mandate any 

spending by State, local, or tribal 

government in the aggregate or by the 

private sector. Participation in the John 

Lewis NIMHD Research Endowment 

Program is voluntary and not mandated. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This proposed rule does not contain 

any new information collection 

requirements that are subject to Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). However, part 52i contains 

information collection and 

recordkeeping requirements. 

Specifically, §§ 52i.3(b)(2), 52i.4(a), 

52i.4(c), 52i.5(a), 52i.9(b), 52i.11(b), and 

52i.11(d) of part 52i contain reporting 

requirements, and §§ 52i.10, 

52i.11(a)(1), 52i.11(a)(2), 52i.11(a)(3), 

52i.11(a)(4), and 52i.11(b) of part 52i 

contain recordkeeping requirements. 

These reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements are addressed in the grant 

application forms per OMB Control 

Number 0925–0001 and 0925–0002, 

which address the instructions for SF– 

424 and SF–2590. There is nothing that 

needs to be done regarding the burden 

associated with these requirements in 

part 52i, because it is already estimated 

based upon the data that is collected 

through the various eRA systems that 

grantees use. The approvals under OMB 

Control Number 0925–0001 and OMB 

Control Number 0925–0002 expire 

January 2026. 

We do not expect an increase in 

average burden per respondent because 

of the enactment of Public Law 117–104 

and the new expanded eligibility for 

research endowment awards that it 

mandates, or implementation of the 

program’s new expanded eligibility 

requirements through this proposed 

rule. Also, we do not expect a change 

in the number of responses per 

respondent. However, there likely will 

be a change in the number of 

respondents from 4 to 22, and the total 

of burden hours will need to be adjusted 

based on the number of respondents. 

We estimate the annualized burden to 

the respondents for reporting and 

recordkeeping under the John Lewis 

NIMHD Endowment Program as:

1There is currently a total of 42 institutions eligible for the John Lewis NIMHD Research Endowment Program, we estimate 22 institutions will 

apply. Historically, requests for applications are solicited every 5 years. 2Annual number of respondents × annual number of responses × average burden per response. 

When it is time to renew pre/post 

grant application forms, NIH will reach 

out to community members in a 2–3- 

year timeframe to determine if burden is 

the same, or if it has increased or 

decreased and provide additional input. 

The burden has already been accounted 

for at this time.
