Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 115 / Thursday, June 16, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander,
Thirteenth Coast Guard District.

BILLING CODE 4910–15–P
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Commandant Instruction M16475.1D,
which guides the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors
in this case that would limit the use of
a categorical exclusion under section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e) of the
Instruction, from further environmental
documentation. There are no expected
environmental consequences of the
action that would require further
analysis and documentation.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: EPA issued a final rule in the
Federal Register on February 24, 2005,
listing as hazardous under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
nonwastewaters generated from the
production of certain dyes, pigments,
and FD&C colorants. This document
corrects typographical errors in the
regulatory text and notes other
typographical errors in the preamble.
DATES: This correction is effective on
August 23, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed
instructions as provided under
ADDRESSES in the Federal Register
document of February 24, 2005.

may be potentially affected by this

B. How Can I Access Electronic Copies
of This Document and Other Related
Information?
In addition to using the EDOCKET at
https://www.epa.gov/edocket/, you may
access this Federal Register document
electronically through the EPA Internet
under the Federal Register listings at

40 CFR part 261 is available at e-CFR
Beta Site at https://www.gpoaccess.gov/
ecfr/.
II. What Does This Correction Do?
This Action corrects two
typographical errors in the final rule,
both of which are the same but occur in
different paragraphs, published in the
Federal Register of February 24, 2005
(see FR Doc. 05–3454; 70 FR 9138–9180)
(FRL–7875–8). The first error appears at
70 FR 9176 in the text of § 261.32(d)(2).
At the end of the first sentence, the
phrase ‘‘listing levels of this section’’ is
misplaced and is in part repetitive. The
phrase ‘‘listing levels of’’ should
immediately precede ‘‘paragraph (c)’’ in
that sentence and the last usage of the
phrase ‘‘this section’’ at the end of the
sentence should be deleted. Thus, the
first sentence of § 261.32(d)(2) should
conclude as follows: ‘‘to conclude that
annual mass loadings for the K181
constituents are below the listing levels
of paragraph (c) of this section.’’
The second error also appears at 70
FR 9176 in the text of
§ 261.32(d)(3)(iv)(B). At the end of the
sentence, the phrase ‘‘listing levels of
this section’’ is misplaced and is in part
repetitive. The phrase ‘‘listing levels of’’
should immediately precede ‘‘paragraph
(c)’’ in the sentence and the last usage
of the phrase ‘‘this section’’ at the end
of the sentence should be deleted. Thus,
§ 261.32(d)(3)(iv)(B) should conclude as
follows: ‘‘to support any claim that the
constituent mass loadings are below the
listing levels of paragraph (c) of this
section.’’
We also note that the preamble to the
final rule contains several erroneous
regulatory citations. The first one
appears at 70 FR 9145, in the second
column, in the first paragraph under the
heading ‘‘1. Toluene-2,4-diamine,’’ line
three. The correct regulatory citation is
to ‘‘§ 261.32(c)(1)’’ and not
‘‘§ 261.31(c)(1)’’. The second one
appears in line six of the same
paragraph. The correct citation is to
E:\FR\FM\16JNR1.SGM
16JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 115 / Thursday, June 16, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
‘‘§ 261.32(c)(2)’’ and not to ‘‘§ (c)(2)’’.
The last one appears at 70 FR 9145, in
the third column, in line six. The
correct citation is to ‘‘§ 261.32(c)(1)’’
and not ‘‘§ 261.31(c)(1)’.
III. Why Is This Correction Issued as a
Final Rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an
Agency for good cause finds that notice
and public procedures are
impracticable, unnecessary or contrary
to the public interest, the agency may
issue a final rule without providing
notice and an opportunity for public
comment. EPA has determined that
there is good cause for making today’s
correction final without prior proposal
and opportunity for comment, because
EPA is merely correcting language to
allow the affected rule sections to make
sense grammatically. Therefore, EPA
finds that additional public comment is
not necessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
IV. Do Any of the Statutory and
Executive Order Reviews Apply to This
Action?
This final rule implements an
amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations that has no substantive
impact on the underlying regulations,
and it does not otherwise impose or
amend any requirements. As such, the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has determined that such
amendments are not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ subject to review by
OMB under Executive Order 12866,
entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
Because this rule has been exempted
from review under Executive Order
12866, this rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001). This final rule does not
contain any information collections
subject to OMB approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any
enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public
Law 104–4). This action does not
require any special considerations
under Executive Order 12898, entitled
Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994), or OMB review or any Agency
action under Executive Order 13045,
entitled Protection of Children from
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:36 Jun 15, 2005
Jkt 205001
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997).
This action does not involve any
technical standards that would require
Agency consideration of voluntary
consensus standards pursuant to section
12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
(NTTAA), Public Law 104–113, section
12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). Since the
action does not require the issuance of
a proposed rule, the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. In
addition, the Agency has determined
that this action will not have a
substantial direct effect on 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, entitled
Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999). Executive Order 13132 requires
EPA to develop an accountable process
to ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input
by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that
have federalism implications.’’ ‘‘Policies
that have federalism implications’’ is
defined in the Executive Order to
include regulations that 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.’’ This action does
not alter the relationships or
distribution of power and
responsibilities. For similar reasons, the
Agency has determined that this rule
does not have any ‘‘tribal implications’’
as described in Executive Order 13175,
entitled Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000). Executive
Order 13175, requires EPA to develop
an accountable process to ensure
‘‘meaningful and timely input by tribal
officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have tribal
implications.’’ ‘‘Policies that have tribal
implications’’ is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations
that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on
one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal
government and the Indian tribes, or on
the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes.’’ This
rule will not have substantial direct
effects on tribal governments, on the
relationship between the Federal
government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
35033
responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes, as
specified in Executive Order 13175.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this rule.
V. 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. 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 this final
rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2).

I. Does This Rule Create New Federal
Requirements?
II. What Does This Rule Do?
III. Why Is This Correction Issued as a Final
Rule?
IV. Why Are the Clarifications and
Corrections in This Rule Necessary?
A. Corrections and Clarifications to the
PRA Burden Statement.
B. Corrections to Item 5 of the Manifest
Form Instructions.
C. Corrections to Item 15 of the Manifest
Form Instructions.
D. Corrections and Clarifications to 40 CFR

E. Corrections to 40 CFR 264.72(e)(4) and
to 265.72(e)(4).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews.
I. Does This Rule Create New Federal
Requirements?
No. This rule creates no new
regulatory requirements; rather, it
corrects errors made in the Appendix to
part 262 of chapter 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) and corrects
certain manifest regulations that were
promulgated in the March 4, 2005
Federal Register.
II. What Does This Rule Do?
This rule corrects the printing
omissions of the manifest form (EPA
Form 8700–22) and the continuation
sheet (EPA Form 8700–22A), which
were omitted inadvertently from the
final rule promulgated on March 4, 2005
(70 FR 10776), by inserting the manifest
form (EPA Form 8700–22) and the
continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700–
22A) into the corresponding manifest
instructions. In addition, this rule
amends portions of the instructions for
the manifest form and continuation
sheet, which are contained in the
Appendix to part 262 of chapter 40 of
the CFR, amends the marking
requirements at 40 CFR 262.33 for
hazardous waste generators and amends
the manifest discrepancy requirements
at 40 CFR 264.72 and 265.72.
Specifically, the rule:
(1) Corrects the EPA mailing address
for comment submissions regarding the
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) burden
statement estimates;
(2) Corrects the incorrect description
of the telephone number to insert in
Item 5 of the manifest instructions;
(3) Corrects the wording in the
instructions to the first certification (i.e.,
the Generator Certification) in Item 15
so that it is consistent with the revised
certification wording on the manifest
form;
(4) Clarifies that the reference to the
DOT marking regulation (i.e., 49
171.3(b)(1)) in 40 CFR 262.33 does not
apply to generators, and deletes it from
the placarding regulation that is
applicable to generators; and,
(5) Corrects errors in 40 CFR
264.72(e)(4) and in 265.72(e)(4)
pertaining to manifest discrepancies.
This final rule will be effective on
September 6, 2005, which is the same
effective date of the March 4, 2005
Manifest Final Rule. We believe this
approach will minimize confusion
about the new manifest form and
procedures.
III. Why Is This Correction Issued as a
Final Rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides when an agency for
good cause finds that notice and public
procedures are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest, the agency may issue a rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. We
have determined that there is good
cause for making this action final
without prior proposal and opportunity
for comment because these corrections
to the final rule do not change the
requirements of the final rule. They are
minor corrections and are not
controversial. Thus, notice and public
comment are unnecessary. We find that
this constitutes good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
IV. Why Are the Clarifications and
Corrections in This Rule Necessary?
EPA believes the errors in the March
4, 2005 Federal Register notice may
cause confusion about the new manifest
form and procedures. Therefore, we are
explaining the corrections below.
A. Corrections and Clarifications to the
PRA Burden Statement
The EPA mailing address contained in
the PRA burden statement for manifest
completion is incorrect. We are
amending the manifest instructions in
the Appendix to 40 CFR part 262 by
correcting the EPA mailing instructions
contained in the PRA burden statement
so that any correspondence regarding

A. Does This Action Apply to Me?
The Agency included in the final rule of February 24, 2005, a list
of those who may be potentially affected by this action. If you have
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the person listed under the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

In addition to using the EDOCKET at https://www.epa.gov/edocket/,
you may access this Federal Register document electronically through

www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/. A frequently updated electronic version of 40
CFR part 261 is available at e-CFR Beta Site at https://
www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/.
II. What Does This Correction Do?
This Action corrects two typographical errors in the final rule,
both of which are the same but occur in different paragraphs, published
in the Federal Register of February 24, 2005 (see FR Doc. 05-3454; 70
FR 9138-9180) (FRL-7875-8). The first error appears at 70 FR 9176 in
the text of Sec. 261.32(d)(2). At the end of the first sentence, the
phrase ``listing levels of this section'' is misplaced and is in part
repetitive. The phrase ``listing levels of'' should immediately precede
``paragraph (c)'' in that sentence and the last usage of the phrase
``this section'' at the end of the sentence should be deleted. Thus,
the first sentence of Sec. 261.32(d)(2) should conclude as follows:
``to conclude that annual mass loadings for the K181 constituents are
below the listing levels of paragraph (c) of this section.''
The second error also appears at 70 FR 9176 in the text of Sec.
261.32(d)(3)(iv)(B). At the end of the sentence, the phrase ``listing
levels of this section'' is misplaced and is in part repetitive. The
phrase ``listing levels of'' should immediately precede ``paragraph
(c)'' in the sentence and the last usage of the phrase ``this section''
at the end of the sentence should be deleted. Thus, Sec.
261.32(d)(3)(iv)(B) should conclude as follows: ``to support any claim
that the constituent mass loadings are below the listing levels of
paragraph (c) of this section.''
We also note that the preamble to the final rule contains several
erroneous regulatory citations. The first one appears at 70 FR 9145, in
the second column, in the first paragraph under the heading ``1.
Toluene-2,4-diamine,'' line three. The correct regulatory citation is
to ``Sec. 261.32(c)(1)'' and not ``Sec. 261.31(c)(1)''. The second
one appears in line six of the same paragraph. The correct citation is
to

``Sec. 261.32(c)(2)'' and not to ``Sec. (c)(2)''. The last one
appears at 70 FR 9145, in the third column, in line six. The correct
citation is to ``Sec. 261.32(c)(1)'' and not ``Sec. 261.31(c)(1)'.
III. Why Is This Correction Issued as a Final Rule?
Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that
notice and public procedures are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary
to the public interest, the agency may issue a final rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has
determined that there is good cause for making today's correction final
without prior proposal and opportunity for comment, because EPA is
merely correcting language to allow the affected rule sections to make
sense grammatically. Therefore, EPA finds that additional public
comment is not necessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
IV. Do Any of the Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Apply to This
Action?
This final rule implements an amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations that has no substantive impact on the underlying
regulations, and it does not otherwise impose or amend any
requirements. As such, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
determined that such amendments are not a ``significant regulatory
action'' subject to review by OMB under Executive Order 12866, entitled
Regulatory Planning and Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because
this rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866,
this rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This final rule does
not contain any information collections subject to OMB approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose
any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law
104-4). This action does not require any special considerations under
Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994), or OMB review or any
Agency action under Executive Order 13045, entitled Protection of
Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997). This action does not involve any technical standards
that would require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus
standards pursuant to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d)
(15 U.S.C. 272 note). Since the action does not require the issuance of
a proposed rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. In addition, the Agency has
determined that this action will not have a substantial direct effect
on 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,
entitled Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Executive Order
13132 requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that 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.'' This action
does not alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities. For similar reasons, the Agency has determined that
this rule does not have any ``tribal implications'' as described in
Executive Order 13175, entitled Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000). Executive
Order 13175, requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by tribal officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have tribal implications.'' ``Policies that
have tribal implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include
regulations that have ``substantial direct effects on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal government and
the Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal government and Indian tribes.'' This rule will not
have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the
relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.
V. 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. 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 this final rule in the Federal Register. This final
rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

(d) * * *
(2) Determination for generated quantities of 1,000 MT/yr or less
for wastes that contain K181 constituents. If the total annual quantity
of dyes and/or pigment nonwastewaters generated is 1,000 metric tons or
less, the generator can use knowledge of the wastes (e.g., knowledge of
constituents in wastes based on prior analytical data and/or
information about raw materials used, production processes used, and
reaction and degradation products formed) to conclude that annual mass
loadings for the K181 constituents are below the listing levels of
paragraph (c) of this
[[Page 35034]]
section. To make this determination, the generator must:
* * * * *
(3) * * *
(iv) * * *
(B) The analytical measurements must be sufficiently sensitive,
accurate and precise to support any claim that the constituent mass
loadings are below the listing levels of paragraph (c) of this section.
