certain state requirements submitted for 

inclusion into the SIP. 

H. Executive Order 13211, Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This proposed action is not subject to 

Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, 

May 22, 2001) because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (‘‘NTTAA’’), Public Law 

104–113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) 

directs the EPA to use voluntary 

consensus standards in its regulatory 

activities unless to do so would be 

inconsistent with applicable law or 

otherwise impractical. Voluntary 

consensus standards are technical 

standards (e.g., materials specifications, 

test methods, sampling procedures, and 

business practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. NTTAA directs the 

EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, 

explanations when the Agency decides 

not to use available and applicable 

voluntary consensus standards. The 

EPA believes that this proposed action 

is not subject to requirements of section 

12(d) of NTTAA because application of 

those requirements would be 

inconsistent with the Clean Air Act. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Population 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 

(Feb. 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. The 

EPA lacks the discretionary authority to 

address environmental justice in this 

rulemaking.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary 

On April 1, 2022 (87 FR 19290), EPA 

published in the Federal Register a 

proposal to amend certain aspects of the 

hazardous waste manifest regulations 

under the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA), specifically 

concerning the e-Manifest system to: (1) 

Incorporate hazardous waste export 

manifests into the e-Manifest system; (2) 

expand the required international 

shipment data elements on the manifest 

form; (3) revise aspects of the manifest 

form to improve compliance with 

import and export consents and tracking 

requirements and to allow for greater 

precision in waste data reported on the 

manifest; (4) incorporate three manifestrelated reports (i.e., discrepancy, 

exception, and unmanifested waste 

reports); (5) provide discussion 

regarding potential future integration of 

the e-Manifest system with Biennial 

Reporting requirements; (6) make 

conforming changes to the 

polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 

manifest regulations under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA); and (6) 

make other technical corrections to

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 24, 2022 / Proposed Rules 31515 

remove obsolete requirements, correct 

typographical errors, establish 

definitions, and/or improve alignment 

with the e-Manifest program. 

The comment period for the proposed 

rule was scheduled to end on May 31, 

2022. Since publication, EPA has 

received at least one request to extend 

that comment period to allow for 

additional time to develop comments on 

the proposed rule. After considering this 

request for additional time, EPA has 

decided to extend the comment period 

for an additional 61 days, through 

August 1, 2022.
