29746 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 2001 / Proposed Rules

which are funded at 100% by grants

from the Federal government.

National Environmental Policy Act

No environmental impact statement is

required for this rule because agency

decisions on proposed State AMLR

plans and revisions thereof are

categorically excluded from compliance

with the National Environmental Policy

Act (42 U.S.C. 4332) by the Manual of

the Department of the Interior (516 DM

6, Appendix 8, paragraph 8.4B(29)).

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not contain

information collection requirements that

require approval by OMB under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3507 et seq.).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of the Interior has

determined that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The State submittal

which is the subject of this rule is based

on Federal regulations for which an

economic analysis was prepared and

certification made that such regulations

would not have a significant economic

effect on a substantial number of small

entities. Accordingly, this rule will

ensure that existing requirements

established by SMCRA or previously

promulgated by OSM will be

implemented by the State. In making the

determination as to whether this rule

would have a significant economic

impact, the Department relied on the

data and assumptions in the analyses for

the corresponding Federal regulations.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act

This rule is not a major rule under 5

U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business

Regulatory Enforcement Act. This rule:

(a) Does not have an annual effect on the

economy of $100 million; (b) will not

cause a major increase in costs or prices

for consumers, individual industries,

geographic regions, or Federal, State or

local governmental agencies; and (c)

does not have significant adverse effects

on competition, employment,

investment, productivity, innovation, or

the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to

compete with foreign-based enterprises.

This determination is based on the fact

that the State submittal which is the

subject of this rule is based on

counterpart Federal regulations for

which an analysis was prepared and a

determination made that the Federal

regulation was not considered a major

rule.

Unfunded Mandates

This rule will not impose a cost of

$100 million or more in any given year

on any governmental entity or the

private sector.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 271

[FRL–6938–9]

Maryland: Final Authorization of State

Hazardous Waste Management

Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Maryland has applied to EPA

for Final authorization of changes to its

hazardous waste program under the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant such

Final authorization to Maryland. In the

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this

Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the

changes by an immediate final rule. EPA

did not make a proposal prior to the

immediate final rule because we believe

this action is not controversial and we

do not expect comments that oppose it.

We have explained the reasons for this

authorization in the preamble to the

immediate final rule. Unless we get

written comments which oppose this

authorization during the comment

period, the immediate final rule will

become effective on the date it

establishes, and we will not take further

action on this proposal. If we get

comments that oppose this action, we

will withdraw the immediate final rule,

and it will not take effect. We will then

respond to public comments in a later

final rule based on this proposal. You

may not have another opportunity for

comment. If you want to comment on

this action, you must do so at this time.

RIN 2127–AE59

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards; Radiator and Coolant

Reservoir Caps, Venting of Motor

Vehicle Coolant Systems

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking

(NPRM).

SUMMARY: In this document, we

(NHTSA) propose a new Federal motor

vehicle safety standard regulating new

radiator caps and coolant reservoir caps,

and new passenger cars, multipurpose

passenger vehicles and light trucks with

such caps. We believe that this new

standard, if implemented, would result

in fewer scald injuries that occur when

people attempt to remove caps from

motor vehicle radiators or coolant

reservoirs that are under high pressure

and contain hot fluids. However, this

rulemaking would not require that

radiator caps or coolant reservoir caps

be provided on any motor vehicle.

DATES: You should submit your

comments early enough to ensure that

Docket Management receives them not
