[Docket No. FRL–6487–4]

Change of Official EPA Mailing

Address; Technical Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule

SUMMARY: EPA is relocating the majority

of its Headquarter offices in the

Washington Metropolitan area to new

offices in downtown Washington, DC.

Because of the relocations, EPA has

changed its official mailing address and

is amending the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) to reflect this change

where applicable. Although the official

mailing address has changed, the

physical location of the public

information centers and dockets has not

yet changed. This relocation effort will

eventually consolidate the EPA

Headquarter offices in the Washington

Metropolitan area providing for

increased savings, efficiency, and

enhancement of customer services. The

EPA mailing address change will be

phased in for all EPA correspondence,

publications, forms, and other

documents.

DATES: This final rule is effective on

August 2, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

Lapsley, Director of Regulatory

Management, Office of Policy and

Reinvention (2136A), Environmental

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460;

telephone number: (202) 564–5480; email address: lapsley.paul@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this Action Apply to Me?

This action is directed to the public

in general, and has particular

applicability to anyone who might need

or want to communicate in writing with

EPA, or submit information to the

Agency. Since this action may apply to

anyone, the Agency has not attempted

to describe all the specific entities that

may be affected by this action. If you

have any questions regarding the

applicability of this action to a

particular entity, consult the person

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.

II. How Can I Get Additional

Information, Including Copies of this

Document?

You may obtain electronic copies of

this document, and other information

about EPA programs from the EPA

Internet Home Page at http://

www.epa.gov/. To access this

document, on the Home Page select

‘‘Laws and Regulations’’ and then look

up the entry for this document under

the ‘‘Federal Register—Environmental

Documents.’’ You can also go directly to

the Federal Register listings at http://

www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/.

III. What Action is the Agency Taking?

EPA is announcing a change in its

official mailing address and is amending

the CFR to reflect this change. EPA is

relocating its Headquarter offices in the

Washington Metropolitan area to new

offices in downtown Washington, DC.

This effort will consolidate the majority

of the EPA Headquarter offices in the

Washington Metropolitan area

providing for increased savings,

efficiency, and enhancement of

customer services. To date,

approximately two-thirds of the EPA

Headquarter offices have been

successfully relocated to the new

location, with the remaining offices

expected to move within the next 2

years. Although not all of the offices

have been relocated, the Agency will

begin to phase in the new address for all

of its documents over the next 12

months. This announcement and

amendments to the CFR will begin the

implementation of this change.

Although EPA’s official mailing

address has changed, EPA will continue

to receive mail with the old address

until the EPA relocation is complete.

The EPA mailing center which

processes all of EPA’s mail has not be

relocated yet, so EPA will continue to

physically receive and process all of its

mail at its current location until this

operation is relocated.

If you wish to inspect a rulemaking

record or deliver documents (e.g., your

comments on a rulemaking) directly to

the public record centers, which are also

referred to as the public docket or

locations for the public version of the

official record, you should pay

particular attention to information about

the specific location of the particular

public record center, because these

record centers have not been relocated.

EPA intends to consolidate these centers

in the new location, and will announce

the relocation when it occurs. For

information about the location of these

centers go to http://www.epa.gov/

epahome/dockets.htm.

47324 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 2, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

In certain cases, the EPA mailing

address provided in the regulations, or

in instructions for submitting a form or

other information to EPA, may be an

address other than the official mailing

address for EPA Headquarter offices. In

amending the CFR to reflect the address

change, this FR document specifically

identifies those CFR sections where the

EPA address provided should not be

changed. In addition, if you are

responding to a request for comments,

or otherwise wish to deliver your

submission directly to a public docket

or a particular office, please be sure to

verify the relevant location to ensure

that you identify the proper delivery

address.

EPA intends to review existing

regulatory documents, particularly

forms and instructions for submitting

information to the Agency, to ensure

that the EPA mailing address is properly

identified. If necessary, EPA intends to

amend these documents over the next 2

years.

IV. What is the Agency’s Authority for

Taking this Action?

EPA is issuing this document under

its general rulemaking authority,

Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970 (5

U.S.C. app.).

In addition, section 553 of the

Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5

U.S.C. 553(b)(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. EPA

has determined that there is good cause

for making this rule final without prior

proposal and opportunity for comment.

EPA has determined that these

amendments are technical and nonsubstantive. Thus, notice and public

procedure are unnecessary. EPA finds

that this constitutes good cause under 5

U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

V. Do Any of the Regulatory

Assessment Requirements Apply to this

Action?

No. This final rule implements

technical amendments to 40 CFR

chapter I and 48 CFR chapter 15 to

reflect a change in the EPA

Headquarters’ official mailing address,

and it does not otherwise impose or

amend any requirements. As such, the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) has determined that a technical

correction is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ subject to review by

OMB under Executive Order 12866,

entitled Regulatory Planning and

Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).

Nor does this rule contain any

information collection requirements that

require review and approval by OMB

pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction

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

seq.).

Because this action is not

economically significant as defined by

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866,

this action is not subject to Executive

Order 13045, entitled Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,

April 23, 1997).

This action will not result in

environmental justice related issues and

does not, therefore, require special

consideration under Executive Order

12898, entitled Federal Actions to

Address Environmental Justice in

Minority Populations and Low-Income

Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,

1994).

Since the Agency has made a ‘‘good

cause’’ finding that this action is not

subject to notice-and-comment

requirements under the APA or any

other statute (see Unit IV.), this action

is not subject to provisions of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections 202

and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public

Law 104–4). In addition, this action

does not significantly or uniquely affect

small governments or impose a

significant intergovernmental mandate,

as described in sections 203 and 204 of

UMRA. Nor does this action

significantly or uniquely affect the

communities of tribal governments as

specified by Executive Order 13084,

entitled Consultation and Coordination

with Indian Tribal Governments (63 FR

27655, May 10, 1998). This rule 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, entitled

Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,

1999).

This action does not involve any

technical standards that require the

Agency’s consideration of voluntary

consensus standards pursuant to section

12(d) of the National Technology

Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995

(NTTAA), Public Law 104–113, section

12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the

necessary steps to eliminate drafting

errors and ambiguity, minimize

potential litigation, and provide a clear

legal standard for affected conduct, as

required by section 3 of Executive Order

12988, entitled Civil Justice Reform (61

FR 4729, February 7, 1996).

EPA has complied with Executive

Order 12630, entitled Governmental

Actions and Interference with

Constitutionally Protected Property

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

examining the takings implications of

this rule in accordance with the

‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk

and Avoidance of Unanticipated

Takings’’ issued under the Executive

Order.

VI. Will EPA Submit this Final Rule to

Congress and the Comptroller General?

Yes. The Congressional Review Act

(CRA) (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. CRA section 808 allows

the issuing agency to make a rule

effective sooner than otherwise

provided by the CRA, if the agency

makes a good cause finding that notice

and public procedure is impracticable,

unnecessary, or contrary to the public

interest. This determination must be

supported by a brief statement (5 U.S.C.

808(2)). As stated previously, EPA has

made such a good cause finding,

including the reasons therefore, and

established an effective date of August

2, 2000. EPA will submit a report

containing this rule 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 of the rule in

the Federal Register. This action is not

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2).
