BILLING CODE 4830–01–P

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

31 CFR Part 1

U. S. Secret Service; Privacy Act of

1974; Implementation

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary,

Treasury.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: The Department is amending

its regulations concerning the Privacy

Act of 1974, Title 5 of the United States

Code, Section 552a (Privacy Act) by

revising the United States Secret

Services Appendix D of this subpart to

identify a new official responsible for

administrative appeals of initial

determinations refusing amendment of

records made pursuant to the Privacy

Act. The Department is also updating

the address of the Secret Service

Headquarters listed in the Appendix.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 13, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Donna Cahill, Associate Chief Counsel,

United States Secret Service, 950 H

Street, NW., Suite 8300, Washington,

DC 20373–5802.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secret

Service is updating its current Privacy

Act regulation Appendix D. The Secret

Service moved its headquarters to a new

location, consequently the addresses

shown in the Appendix are no longer

current and need to be updated to

provide the proper address to the

public.

The Secret Service also recognizes a

need to revise paragraph 4 of Appendix

D, which identifies the official

responsible for reviewing administrative

appeals of initial determinations

refusing amendment of records. Existing

regulations name the ‘‘Assistant

Secretary of the Treasury for

Enforcement’’ as the reviewing official.

However, to be consistent with the

language implementing the Freedom of

Information Act (FOIA), 31 CFR part 1,

subpart A, appendix D.4, published at

65 FR 40514 on June 30, 2000, the

Secret Service has determined that the

reviewing official should be changed to

the ‘‘Deputy Director, United States

Secret Service.’’ The address to which

an appeal should be made by mail or

delivered personally is also being

changed to: ‘‘Privacy Act Amendment

Appeal, Deputy Director, United States

Secret Service, 950 H Street, NW., Suite

8300, Washington, DC 20373–5802.’’

These regulations are being published

as a final rule because the amendment

does not impose any requirements on

any member of the public. This

amendment is the most efficient means

for the Treasury Department to

implement its internal requirements for

complying with the Privacy Act.

Accordingly, pursuant to the

administrative procedure provisions in

5 U.S.C. 553, the Department of the

Treasury finds good cause that prior

notice and other public procedure with

respect to this rule are impracticable

and unnecessary and finds good cause

for making this rule effective on the date

of publication in the Federal Register.

In accordance with Executive Order

12866, it has been determined that this

final rule is not a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ and, therefore, does not require

a Regulatory Impact Analysis.

Because no notice of proposed

rulemaking is required, the provisions

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

40 CFR Part 131

[FRL –6941–1]

RIN 2040–AC44

Water Quality Standards;

Establishment of Numeric Criteria for

Priority Toxic Pollutants for the State

of California; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Final Rule; correction.

SUMMARY: This document contains

corrections to a final rule, Water Quality

Standards; Establishment of Numeric

Criteria for Priority Toxic Pollutants for

the State of California, also know as the

California Toxics Rule, which was

published in the Federal Register on

Thursday, May 18, 2000 (65 FR 31682).

The California Toxics Rule promulgated

numeric aquatic life and human health

criteria for priority toxic pollutants and

a compliance schedule provision which

authorizes the State to issue schedules

of compliance for new or revised

National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System permit limits based

on the federal criteria when certain

conditions are met.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective

February 13, 2001.

ADDRESSES: The administrative record

for the final rule is available for public

inspection at the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Region 9, Water

Division, 75 Hawthorne Street, San

Francisco, California 94105, between

the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. For

access to the administrative record, call

Diane E. Fleck, P.E., Esq. at (415) 744–

1997 for an appointment. A reasonable

fee will be charged for photocopies.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Diane E. Fleck, P.E., Esq. or Philip

Woods, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 9, Water Division, 75

Hawthorne Street, San Francisco,

California 94105, (415) 744–1984 or

(415) 744–1997, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May

18, 2000, EPA published a final rule in

the Federal Register titled Water

Quality Standards; Establishment of

Numeric Criteria for Priority Toxic

Pollutants for the State of California (see

65 FR 31682) that contained

typographical errors. These

typographical errors consisted of

omission of units in the column

headings to a table, inadvertent

placement of a zero in one of the

numeric criteria values, an oversight in

the correct CAS number for a pollutant,

and the incorrect placement of a

parameter in a formula. This action

corrects those typographical errors.

These corrections are all minor in

nature and do not substantively alter the

final rule.

Section 553 of the Administrative

Procedure Act, 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 today’s rule final without

prior proposal and opportunity for

comment because this action merely

corrects typographical errors in a rule

that already went through public notice

and comment. Furthermore, the

corrections in today’s rule are all minor

in nature and do not substantively alter

the final rule. Thus, notice and public

procedure are unnecessary. EPA finds

that this constitutes good cause under 5

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

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and

is therefore not subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget.

Because the agency has made a ‘‘good

cause’’ finding that this action is not

subject to notice-and-comment

requirements under the Administrative

Procedure Act or any other statute, it is

not subject to the regulatory flexibility

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections

202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L.

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. This rule also does not

significantly or uniquely affect the

communities of tribal governments, as

specified by Executive Order 13084 (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 (64 FR 43255,

August 10, 1999). This rule also is not

subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR

19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not

economically significant. This technical

correction action does not involve

technical standards; 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. This rule does

not impose an information collection

burden under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). EPA’s compliance

with these statutes and Executive

Orders for the underlying rule is

discussed in the May 18, 2000, Federal

Register notice (65 FR 31682).

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. 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 therefor, and

established an effective date of February

13, 2001. 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
