47628 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

justice part of its mission. Executive 

Order 12898 provides that each Federal 

agency conduct its programs, policies, 

and activities that substantially affect 

human health or the environment in a 

manner that ensures that such programs, 

policies, and activities do not have the 

effect of excluding persons (including 

populations) from participation in, 

denying persons (including 

populations) the benefits of, or 

subjecting persons (including 

populations) to discrimination under 

such programs, policies, and activities 

because of their race, color, or national 

origin. This rule is not expected to 

negatively impact any community, and 

therefore is not expected to cause any 

disproportionately high and adverse 

impacts to minority or low-income 

communities. This rule relates solely to 

the adjustments to civil penalties to 

account for inflation. 

Executive Order 13211 

This rule is not a ‘‘significant energy 

action’’ as defined in Executive Order 

13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

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

22, 2001) because it is not likely to have 

a significant adverse effect on the 

supply, distribution, or use of energy. 

This rule relates only to the adjustments 

to civil penalties to account for 

inflation. This rule is consistent with 

current agency practice, does not 

impose new substantive requirements, 

and therefore will not have a significant 

adverse effect on the supply, 

distribution, or use of energy.
