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 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.
We have determined that there is good
cause for making this action final
without prior proposal and opportunity
for comment because the changes to the
rule are minor technical corrections,
noncontroversial, and do not
substantively change the requirements
of the rule. Thus, notice and public
procedure are unnecessary. We find that
this constitutes good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B) (see also the final
sentence of section 307(d)(1) of the
Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7607(d)(1),
indicating that the good cause
provisions of the APA continue to apply
to this type of rulemaking under the
Clean Air Act).
Regulated Entities. The regulated
categories and entities potentially
affected by the final rule include:

This table is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide
for readers regarding entities likely to be
affected by this action. To determine
whether your facility is regulated by this
action, you should examine the
applicability criteria in 40 CFR 63.11544
of subpart ZZZZZZ (National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
Area Source Standards for Aluminum,
Copper, and Other Nonferrous
Foundries). If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult either the
air permit authority for the entity or
your EPA Regional representative, as
listed in 40 CFR 63.13 of subpart A
(General Provisions).

I. Correction
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
Examples of regulated entities
On June 25, 2009 (74 FR 30366), the
EPA promulgated the national emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants
(NESHAP) for area source aluminum,
copper, and other nonferrous foundries
under section 112(d)(5) of the Clean Air
Act as subpart ZZZZZZ in 40 CFR part
63. Today’s action makes minor
corrections to clarify wording in the
regulatory text. The corrections will
become effective immediately (without
further rulemaking action) on
September 10, 2009.
Minor corrections are being made to
clarify the applicability requirements in
§ 63.11544(a)(1), (2), and (3) to change
the word ‘‘materials’’ to ‘‘material’’ and
to delete the words ‘‘one or more’’ in the
phrases ‘‘materials containing one or
more aluminum foundry HAP as
defined in § 63.11556’’, ‘‘materials
VerDate Nov<24>2008
13:53 Sep 09, 2009
Jkt 217001
containing one or more copper foundry
HAP, as defined in § 63.11556’’, and
‘‘materials containing one or more other
nonferrous foundry HAP, as defined in
§ 63.11556.’’ We are also adding a
comma after ‘‘aluminum foundry HAP’’
for consistency. These minor technical
changes provide confirmation that the
applicability provisions are referring to
terms in the definitions section of the
final rule, i.e., ‘‘material containing
aluminum foundry HAP’’, ‘‘material
containing copper foundry HAP’’, and
‘‘material containing other nonferrous
foundry HAP.’’ Each of these terms is
defined as ‘‘a material containing one or
more [aluminum/copper/other
nonferrous] foundry HAP. * * *’’
making it clear, even without these
technical corrections, that the
applicability provisions were referring
to the terms ‘‘material containing
aluminum foundry HAP’’, ‘‘material
containing copper foundry HAP’’, and
‘‘material containing other nonferrous
foundry HAP.’’ This clear intent was
explained in detail in the preamble of
the final rule (74 FR 30376, 30377).
II. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under the terms of
Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993) and is therefore
not subject to EO 12866 review.
The technical correction does not
impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Because EPA has made a ‘‘good
cause’’ finding that this action is not
subject to notice and comment
requirements under the APA or any
other statute, it is not subject to 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, as
described in section 203 of the UMRA.
The technical correction does not
have federalism implications, as
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
specified in EO 13132, Federalism (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Today’s
action also does not have Tribal
implications, as specified by EO 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 6, 2000).
The technical correction is not subject
to EO 13045, Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997) because it is not economically
significant. The technical correction is
not subject to EO 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001) because it is not a significant
regulatory action under EO 12866.
The 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.
The technical correction will not have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority or low-income populations
because it does not affect the level of
protection provided to human health or
the environment, as addressed by EO
12898, Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income
Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994).
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. The 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. A major rule cannot take effect
until 60 days after it is published in the
E:\FR\FM\10SER1.SGM
10SER1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 174 / Thursday, September 10, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
46495
Federal Register. This action is not a
‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2). This final rule will be effective
on September 10, 2009.
The EPA’s compliance with these
statutes and Executive Orders for the
underlying rule is discussed in the June
25, 2009 Federal Register notice
containing the Area Source Aluminum,
Copper, and Other Nonferrous
Foundries final rule (74 FR 30366).

Serve America Act Amendments to the
National and Community Service Act
of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer
Service Act of 1973
SUMMARY: On April 21, 2009, President
Obama signed into law the Edward M.
Kennedy Serve America Act (Serve
America Act). The Serve America Act
reauthorizes and expands national
service programs administered by the
Corporation for National and
Community Service (‘‘the Corporation’’)
by amending the National and
Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA)
and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act
of 1973 (DVSA). The Corporation
publishes this interim final rule to
implement time-sensitive changes that
are required by the Serve America Act
to take effect on October 1, 2009. In
addition to aligning statutory
amendments with the NCSA and DVSA,
the interim final rule reorders and
renumbers certain parts of the existing
regulations and expands the
construction and use of defined terms.
DATES: This interim final rule is
effective October 1, 2009. Comments
must be received by November 9, 2009.
ADDRESSES: You may mail or deliver
your comments to Amy Borgstrom,
Docket Manager, Corporation for
National and Community Service, 1201
New York Ave., NW., Washington, DC
20525. You may also send your
comments by facsimile transmission to

I. Notice and Comment
This interim final rule makes
amendments to Chapter 25 of Title 45 of
the Code of Federal Regulations to align
the regulations with the National and
Community Service Act of 1990 and the
Domestic Volunteer Service Act, as
amended by the Edward M. Kennedy
Serve America Act, Public Law 111–13.
This rule implements only those
provisions in the Serve America Act
that are time-sensitive and that will
have actual programmatic impact
beginning October 1, 2009; subsequent
rulemakings to implement other
provisions in the Serve America Act
will follow.
This interim final rule will become
effective without prior notice and
comment. Notice and comment
procedures are not required under the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
when the agency for good cause finds
that notice and comment is
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest (5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B)). The Corporation has
determined that prior notice and
comment would be impracticable under
the circumstances. The APA’s
legislative history defines the term
‘‘impracticable’’ as a situation in which
the due and required execution of the
agency functions would be unavoidably
prevented by its undertaking public
rulemaking proceedings (See S. Rep. No.
752, 79th Cong., 1st Sess. at 16 (1945)).
The Corporation finds that public
notice and comment before the issuance
of this interim final rule would have
been impracticable. The Serve America
Act was enacted on April 21, 2009, with
an effective date for most purposes of

I. Correction
On June 25, 2009 (74 FR 30366), the EPA promulgated the national
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for area
source aluminum, copper, and other nonferrous foundries under section
112(d)(5) of the Clean Air Act as subpart ZZZZZZ in 40 CFR part 63.
Today's action makes minor corrections to clarify wording in the
regulatory text. The corrections will become effective immediately
(without further rulemaking action) on September 10, 2009.
Minor corrections are being made to clarify the applicability
requirements in Sec. 63.11544(a)(1), (2), and (3) to change the word
``materials'' to ``material'' and to delete the words ``one or more''
in the phrases ``materials containing one or more aluminum foundry HAP
as defined in Sec. 63.11556'', ``materials containing one or more
copper foundry HAP, as defined in Sec. 63.11556'', and ``materials
containing one or more other nonferrous foundry HAP, as defined in
Sec. 63.11556.'' We are also adding a comma after ``aluminum foundry
HAP'' for consistency. These minor technical changes provide
confirmation that the applicability provisions are referring to terms
in the definitions section of the final rule, i.e., ``material
containing aluminum foundry HAP'', ``material containing copper foundry
HAP'', and ``material containing other nonferrous foundry HAP.'' Each
of these terms is defined as ``a material containing one or more
[aluminum/copper/other nonferrous] foundry HAP. * * *'' making it
clear, even without these technical corrections, that the applicability
provisions were referring to the terms ``material containing aluminum
foundry HAP'', ``material containing copper foundry HAP'', and
``material containing other nonferrous foundry HAP.'' This clear intent
was explained in detail in the preamble of the final rule (74 FR 30376,
30377).
II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
is therefore not subject to EO 12866 review.
The technical correction does not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Because EPA has made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is
not subject to notice and comment requirements under the APA or any
other statute, it is not subject to 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, as
described in section 203 of the UMRA.
The technical correction does not have federalism implications, as
specified in EO 13132, Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
Today's action also does not have Tribal implications, as specified by
EO 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments
(65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000).
The technical correction is not subject to EO 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant. The
technical correction is not subject to EO 13211, Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant
regulatory action under EO 12866.
The 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.
The technical correction will not have disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income
populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided
to human health or the environment, as addressed by EO 12898, Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
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. The 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. A
major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in
the
[[Page 46495]]
Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2). This final rule will be effective on September 10, 2009.
The EPA's compliance with these statutes and Executive Orders for
the underlying rule is discussed in the June 25, 2009 Federal Register
notice containing the Area Source Aluminum, Copper, and Other
Nonferrous Foundries final rule (74 FR 30366).
