87516 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 213 / Monday, November 4, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538). For the same reason, this action 

also does not significantly or uniquely 

affect the communities of Tribal 

governments, as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000). This action will not have 

substantial direct effects on the 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 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999), because it merely 

authorizes State requirements as part of 

the State RCRA hazardous waste 

program without altering the 

relationship or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities established by 

RCRA. This action also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant, and it does not 

make decisions based on environmental 

health or safety risks. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001), because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. 

Under RCRA section 3006(b), the EPA 

grants a State’s application for 

authorization as long as the State meets 

the criteria required by RCRA. It would 

thus be inconsistent with applicable law 

for the EPA, when it reviews a State 

authorization application, to require the 

use of any particular voluntary 

consensus standard in place of another 

standard that otherwise satisfies the 

requirements of RCRA. Thus, the 

requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. As required by 

section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 

FR 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing 

this action, the EPA has taken the 

necessary steps to eliminate drafting 

errors and ambiguity, minimize 

potential litigation, and provide a clear 

legal standard for affected conduct. The 

EPA has complied with Executive Order 

12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988), by 

examining the takings implications of 

this action in accordance with the 

‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental 

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk 

and Avoidance of Unanticipated 

Takings’’ issued under the executive 

order. This action does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994) 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. 

Executive Order 14096 (88 FR 25251, 

April 26, 2023) directs the Federal 

government to build upon and 

strengthen its commitment to deliver 

environmental justice to all 

communities across America through an 

approach that is informed by scientific 

research, high-quality data, and 

measuring Federal engagement with 

communities with environmental justice 

concerns. Because this action authorizes 

pre-existing State rules which are at 

least equivalent to, and no less stringent 

than existing Federal requirements, and 

imposes no additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by State law, and 

there are no anticipated significant 

adverse human health or environmental 

effects, this action is not subject to 

Executive Orders 12898 and 14096. 

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. The EPA will 

submit a report containing this 

document 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 in the 

Federal Register. A major rule cannot 

take effect until 60 days after it is 

published in the Federal Register. This 

action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined 

by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This final action will 

be effective November 4, 2024.

ACTION: Final rule; correcting 

amendments. 

SUMMARY: On December 5, 2023, the 

Federal Communications Commission 

(Commission) revised Commission 

rules. That item showed the 

Commission’s adoption of new rules to 

implement the Safe Connections Act of 

2022. When published in the Federal 

Register, however, an additional change 

was made that was different from the 

item adopted by the Commission. This 

correction reverts the language of the 

rule to the language as adopted by the 

Commission. 

DATES: Effective on November 4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

summary corrects the rules published 

December 5, 2023, 88 FR 84406 (FR Doc. 

2023–25835). Accordingly, paragraph 

(s), which was added to § 54.400 in the 

first column on page 84446, is corrected 

to remove ‘and’ at the end of paragraph 

(s)(3). Compliance with these rules 

began upon announcement in the 

Federal Register (89 FR 70119, August 

29, 2024) (FR Doc. 2024–18938).
