j. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations in the United States. EPA determined that this proposed rule will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. EPA has assessed the overall protectiveness of designating the disposal Sites against the criteria established pursuant to the MPRSA to ensure that any adverse impact to the environment will be mitigated to the greatest extent practicable. We welcome comments on this proposed action related to this Executive Order. List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 228

Environmental protection, Water pollution control.

Authority: This action is issued under the authority of Section 102 of the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1401, 1411, 1412.

Dated: January 25, 2010. Michelle L. Pirzadeh, Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.

For the reasons set out in the preamble, EPA proposes to amend chapter I, title 40 of the Code of Federal Register as follows:

**Identification of Additional Classes of Facilities for Development of Financial**  **Responsibility Requirements Under CERCLA Section 108(b)** 

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). **ACTION :**  Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); extension of comment period and correction of docket identification number.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA is extending, until April 6, 2010, the comment period for the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) published in the Federal Register on January 6, 2010. In the ANPRM, the Agency identified the classes of facilities within three industries—the Chemical Manufacturing industry (NAICS 325), the Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing industry (NAICS 324), and the Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution industry (NAICS 2211)—as those for which the Agency plans to develop, as necessary, proposed regulations identifying appropriate financial responsibility requirements under section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). In addition, the Agency identified the Waste Management and Remediation Services industry (NAICS 562), the Wood Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS 321), the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS 332), the Electronics and Electrical Equipment Manufacturing industry (NAICS 334 and 335), as well as facilities engaged in the recycling of materials containing CERCLA hazardous substances as requiring further study before EPA decides whether to begin the regulatory development process. EPA also wants to clarify the proper Docket Identification Number for the January 2010 ANPRM.

**DATES :**  Submit comments on or before April 6, 2010.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– SFUND–2009–0834, by one of the following methods:

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On January 6, 2010, the Agency published in the Federal Register (75 FR 816) an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) that identified the classes of facilities within three industries—the Chemical Manufacturing industry (NAICS 325), the Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing industry (NAICS 324), and the Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution industry (NAICS 2211)—as those for which the Agency plans to develop, as necessary, proposed regulations identifying appropriate financial responsibility requirements under section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). In addition, the Agency identified the Waste Management and Remediation Services industry (NAICS 562), the Wood Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS 321), the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS 332), the Electronics and Electrical Equipment Manufacturing industry (NAICS 334 and 335), as well as facilities engaged in the recycling of materials containing CERCLA hazardous substances as requiring further study before EPA decides whether to begin the regulatory development process.

Following publication of the ANPRM, several members of the public requested that the Agency extend the comment period. The Agency received extension requests for 30 days, 45 days, and 60 days. In response to these requests, the Agency is extending the comment period for 60 days, until April 6, 2010. Members of the public also will be able to provide additional comments to EPA after it publishes any proposed rules.

In addition, the Agency wants to clarify the proper Docket Identification Number (Docket ID No.) associated with the January 2010 ANPRM. The heading of the ANPRM included an incorrect Docket Identification Number. Subsequent references to the docket, within the text of the ANPRM, were correct; the correct Docket ID No. (EPA– HQ–SFUND–2009–0834) is included in this extension notice of the comment period.
