II. General Information 

A. Where can I find the document? 

The draft revision of the Technical 

Guidance for Assessing Environmental 

Justice in Regulatory Analysis is 

available at https://www.epa.gov/ 

environmental-economics/epa-draftrevision-technical-guidance-assessingenvironmental-justice. 

B. What is the purpose of the document? 

The Technical Guidance for Assessing 

Environmental Justice in Regulatory 

Analysis (Guidance) addresses the issue 

of how to analytically consider 

environmental justice in regulatory 

analyses. It directs EPA analysts to 

assess whether environmental justice 

concerns exist prior to the rulemaking 

and whether such concerns are likely to 

be exacerbated or mitigated for each 

regulatory option under consideration. 

The technical guidance makes 

recommendations designed to ensure 

greater consistency across EPA 

assessments of EJ concerns for 

regulatory actions. The 

recommendations encourage analysts to 

conduct the highest quality analysis 

feasible, recognizing that data 

limitations, time and resource 

constraints, and analytic challenges will 

vary by media and circumstance. They 

are not designed to be prescriptive and 

do not mandate the use of a specific 

approach. Updates to the technical 

guidance reflect advancements in the 

state of the science; other new peerreviewed Agency guidance documents; 

and new priorities and direction related 

to the conduct of environmental justice 

analysis, including Executive Order 

14096. The technical guidance builds on 

the EPA’s experience in evaluating 

environmental justice as part of the 

rulemaking analytic process and 

underscores the EPA’s ongoing 

commitment to ensuring the just 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of all people with respect to the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. The technical 

guidance will enable the EPA to 

conduct better analysis of regulations 

which will ultimately enable the EPA to 

make better decisions. 

C. How will my comments be used? 

Public comment received on the draft 

revision of the Technical Guidance for 

Assessing Environmental Justice in 

Regulatory Analysis will be reviewed 

and considered for incorporation into or 

modification of text in the final revised 

draft of the Guidance. The final draft 

Guidance will then undergo internal 

EPA review and revision, and then be 

finalized for publication following peer 

review by the EPA’s Science Advisory 

Board. An EPA Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) review of this document will be 

announced in December 2023. 

Information on the SAB review can be 

found here: https://sab.epa.gov/ords/ 

sab/r/sab_apex/sab/home.

Source: FDIC. 

General Description of Collection: The 

Covered Financial Company (CFC) 

Asset Purchaser Eligibility implements 

the statutory requirement that assets 

held by the FDIC in the course of 

liquidating any covered financial 

company not be sold to persons who 

contributed in specified ways to the 

demise of a covered financial company. 

The FDIC implemented this requirement 

in its regulations at 12 CFR 380.13. 

Prospective purchasers are required to 

complete and submit a Purchaser 

Eligibility Certification (PEC) to the 

FDIC. The PEC is a self-certification by 

a prospective purchaser that it does not 

fall into any of the categories of 

individuals or entities that are 

prohibited by statute or regulation from 

purchasing assets of a CFC. The PEC 

will be required of any individual or 

entity that is a potential purchaser of 

assets from the FDIC, whether in its 

corporate capacity or as a conservator or 

receiver, for (1) a CFC; or (2) a Bridge 

Financial Company (BFC). 

The FDIC is increasing the total 

burden associated with this collection 

from 5 hours to 165 hours. The estimate 

for the number of respondents has 

increased from 10 to 66. The responses 

per respondent is unchanged from the 

2021 submission. The estimate for hours 

per response represents a 1.5-hour 

increase from the 2021 submission. This 

increase is due to a change in 

calculation methodology. 

Request for Comment 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collections of information are 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the FDIC’s functions, including whether 

the information has practical utility; (b) 

the accuracy of the estimates of the 

burden of the information collections, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collections of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. All comments will become 

a matter of public record.
