Addition of a Subsurface Intrusion 

Component to the Hazard Ranking 

System; Corrections 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Correcting amendments. 

SUMMARY: On January 9, 2017, the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

published a final rule which added 

subsurface intrusion component to the 

Superfund Hazard Ranking System. 

That document inadvertently failed to 

update the Table of Contents and 

contained a few other typographical 

errors. This document corrects the final 

regulation. 

DATES: This correction is effective 

August 3, 2018.

DC 20460. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is 

EPA’s erratum to the final rule titled 

Addition of a Subsurface Intrusion 

Component to the Hazard Ranking 

System, published January 9, 2017 (82 

FR 2760). This is the second set of 

corrections. The first set of corrections 

was published in the Federal Register 

on January 31, 2018 (83 FR 4430). This 

document augments those corrections. 

Section 553 of the Administrative 

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

553(b)(3)(B), provides that, when an 

agency for good cause finds that notice 

and public procedure are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest, the agency may issue a rule 

without providing notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. See 

Utility Solid Waste Activities Group v. 

EPA, 236 F.3d 749, 752 (D.C. Cir. 2001). 

We have determined that there is good 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 150 / Friday, August 3, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 38037 

cause for making these correcting 

amendments final without prior 

proposal and opportunity for public 

comment. Notice and comment is 

unnecessary because these 

administrative or clerical corrections 

govern the methodology of how EPA, 

rather than the public or industry, 

evaluates contaminated sites under the 

Hazard Ranking System. Similarly, 

notice and comment is impracticable 

and contrary to the public interest 

because the correcting amendments will 

more quickly ensure that EPA is 

following the proper procedures to 

evaluate potential threats to public 

health from releases of hazardous 

substances, pollutants, or contaminants. 

Thus, good cause exists to proceed 

without notice and public comment. 

These correcting amendments are 

effective immediately upon publication. 

Section 553(d) of the APA, 5 U.S.C. 

553(d), provides that final rules shall 

not become effective until 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register, 

‘‘except . . . as otherwise provided by 

the agency for good cause,’’ among other 

exceptions. The purpose of this 

provision is to ‘‘give affected parties a 

reasonable time to adjust their behavior 

before the final rule takes effect.’’ 

Omnipoint Corp. v. FCC, 78 F.3d 620, 

630 (D.C. Cir. 1996); see also United 

States v. Gavrilovic, 551 F.2d 1099, 

1104 (8th Cir. 1977) (quoting legislative 

history). Thus, in determining whether 

good cause exists to waive the 30-day 

delay, an agency should ‘‘balance the 

necessity for immediate implementation 

against principles of fundamental 

fairness which require that all affected 

persons be afforded a reasonable 

amount of time to prepare for the 

effective date of its ruling.’’ Gavrilovic, 

551 F.2d at 1105. EPA has determined 

that there is good cause for making these 

correcting amendments effective 

immediately because, as stated above, 

the corrections govern how EPA, rather 

than the public or industry, applies the 

Hazard Ranking System to evaluate 

potential threats to public health from 

releases of hazardous substances, 

pollutants, or contaminants. 

Accordingly, EPA finds that good cause 

exists under section 553(d)(3) to make 

this rule effective immediately upon 

publication.

2The RAY BAUM’s Act of 2018 amended Section 

8 of the Communications Act and provided an 

effective date of October 1, 2018 for such changes. 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, Division 

P—RAY BAUM’s Act of 2018, Title I, FCC 

Reauthorization, Public Law 115–141 (March 23, 

2018). Congress envisioned a transition between 

fees adopted before and after the effective date of 

the amendments to Section 8. In particular, 

Congress provided that application fees in effect on 

the day before the effective date of the RAY 

BAUM’s Act shall remain in effect until such time 

as the Commission adjusts or amends such fee. Id. 

Section 8 fees are revised every even year and the 

Commission expects that this Order will become 

effective before October 1, 2018. We also note that 

in a separate proceeding, the Commission proposed 

to assess a small satellite application fee of 

$30,000.00 under the RAY BAUM’s Act. See 

Streamlining Licensing Procedures for Small 

Satellites, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, IB 

Docket No. 18–86, FCC 18–44, para. 76 (2018). In 

this Order, the Commission does not address this 

proposal. 

3Application fees are calculated based upon the 

process set forth in 47 U.S.C. 158(b)(1). The 

increase in the CPI–U between October 2015 (the 

month used to calculate the last CPI–U adjustment 

of the Schedule of Application Fees) and October 

2017 is 8.825 index points, a 3.7 percent increase. 

Section 8(b)(1) prescribes that increases or 

decreases in application fees are to be ‘‘determined 

by the net change in the Consumer Price Index

Synopsis 

I. Introduction 

1. By this Order, the Commission 

makes rule changes to part 1 of the 

Commission’s rules, and amends its 

Schedule of Application Fees, 47 CFR 

1.1102 through 1.1109, as listed in the 

Rule Changes section, to adjust its fees 

for processing applications and other 

filings. Section 8(a) of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’), requires the 

Commission to ‘‘assess and collect 

application fees at such rates as the 

Commission shall establish or at such 

modified rates as it shall establish 

pursuant to’’ Section 8(b).1 Section 8(g) 

contains the Schedule of Charges for a 

broad range of application categories as 

well as procedures for modifying and 

collecting these charges.2 Section 8(b)(1) 

requires that the Schedule of 

Application Fees ‘‘be reviewed by the 

Commission every two years after 

October 1, 1991, and adjusted by the 

Commission to reflect changes in the 

Consumer Price Index.’’ As required by 

Section 8(b)(1), this Order increases 

application fees to reflect the net change 

in the Consumer Price Index for all 

Urban Consumers (‘‘CPI–U’’) of 3.7 

percent, an increase of 8.825 index 

points calculated from October 2015 

(237.838) to October 2017 (246.663).3
