SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Purpose

EPA is amending its regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), parts 1, 21, 59, 60, 61, 63, 65, 147, 374, 707, and 763, to reflect a change in the mailing address for EPA's Region 4 office. This technical amendment merely updates and corrects the address for the Region 4 office and does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements.[1]

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), ( printed page 86744) EPA has found that the public notice and comment provisions of the APA, found at 5 U.S.C. 553(b), do not apply to this rulemaking. Public notice and comment is unnecessary because this amendment to the regulations provides only technical changes to update addresses and organization names. EPA has also determined that there is good cause to waive the requirement of publication 30 days in advance of the rule's effective date pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) in order to expedite the public's access to the correct address and organization names of EPA Region 4.

II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

This final rule implements technical amendments to 40 CFR parts 1, 21, 59, 60, 61, 63, 65, 147, 374, 707, and 763 to reflect a change in address of EPA's Region 4 office. It does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements. For that reason, this action:

  • Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
  • Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
  • Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
  • Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
  • Does not have federalism implications as specified inExecutive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
  • Is not subject toExecutive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because it does not concern an environmental health or safety risk;
  • Is not a significant regulatory action subject toExecutive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
  • Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because this technical correction does not involve technical standards.

In addition, this action does not have Tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address “disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects” of their actions on communities with environmental justice (EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. EPA defines EJ as “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that “no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and commercial operations or programs and policies.” EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of achieving EJ for communities with EJ concerns.

This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
