ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 9

[FRL-7399-1]


OMB Approvals Under the Paperwork Reduction Act; Technical 
Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this 
technical amendment amends the table that lists the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers issued under the PRA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective October 28, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marcia B. Mia, 202-564-7042; 
[email protected]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is amending the table of currently 
approved information collection request (ICR) control numbers issued by 
OMB for various regulations. The amendment updates the table to list 
those information collection requirements promulgated under the 
Consolidated Federal Air Rule, (CAR) which appeared in the Federal 
Register on December 14, 2000 at 65 FR 78285. The amendment also 
updates the table to list the information collection requirements 
approved by OMB on August 31, 2002 under control number 2060-0443 for 
the consolidation of the ICR's for the referencing subparts of the CAR 
into the CAR ICR as follows: 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ka; 40 CFR part 
60, subpart Kb; 40 CFR part 60, subpart VV; 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
DDD; 40 CFR part 60, subpart III; 40 CFR part 60, subpart NNN; 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart RRR; 40 CFR part 61, subpart BB; 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart Y; 40 CFR part 61, subpart V; 40 CFR part 63, subpart F; 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart G; 40 CFR part 63, subpart H; and 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart I. EPA will continue to present OMB control numbers in a 
consolidated table format to be codified in 40 CFR part 9 of the 
Agency's regulations. The table lists CFR citations with reporting, 
recordkeeping, or other information collection requirements, and the 
current OMB control numbers. This listing of the OMB control numbers 
and their subsequent codification in the CFR satisfies the requirements 
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and OMB's 
implementing regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.
    These ICRs were previously subject to public notice and comment 
prior to OMB approval. Due to the technical nature of the table, EPA 
finds that further notice and comment is unnecessary. As a result, EPA 
finds that there is ``good cause'' under section 553(b)(B) of the 
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), to amend this table 
without prior notice and comment.

I. Administrative Requirements

    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. In addition, 
this action does not impose any enforceable duty, contain any unfunded 
mandate, or impose any significant or unique impact on small 
governments as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(Pub. L. 104-4). This rule also does not require prior consultation 
with State, local, and tribal government officials as specified by 
Executive Order 12875 (58 FR 58093, October 28, 1993) or Executive 
Order 13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998), or involve special 
consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by 
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). Because 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.). This rule also is not subject to Executive 
Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because EPA interprets 
Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that 
are based on health or safety risks, such that the analysis required 
under section 5-501 of the Order has the potential to influence the 
regulation. This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because 
it does not establish an

[[Page 65709]]

environmental standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.

Congressional Review Act

    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 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 October 28, 
2002. 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).
