Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 175 / Friday, September 9, 2011 / Proposed Rules
The EPA believes that this proposed
action is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of NTTAA because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Population
RIN 2050–AG60
Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR
7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes Federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
Federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
EPA lacks the discretionary authority
to address environmental justice in this
proposed rule. In reviewing SIP
submittals, EPA’s role is to approve or
disapprove State choices, based on the
criteria of the CAA. This action merely
proposes to approve certain State
requirements submitted for inclusion in
the SIP under CAA section 110 and
subchapter I, part D and to disapprove
others, and will not in and of itself
create any new requirements.
Accordingly, it does not provide EPA
with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate,
disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable
and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898.

Hazardous Waste Management
System: Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste: Carbon Dioxide
(CO2) Streams in Geologic
Sequestration Activities
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Technical correction.
AGENCY:
On August 8, 2011, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA
or the Agency) published a proposed
rule in the Federal Register to revise the
regulations for hazardous waste
management under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
to conditionally exclude carbon dioxide
(CO2) streams that are hazardous from
the definition of hazardous waste,
provided these hazardous CO2 streams
meet certain conditions. This correction
is necessary because EPA published
incorrect burden estimates in the
Section VII.B. of the preamble to the
proposed rule. However, EPA notes that
the correct burden estimates were in the
Information Collection Request (ICR)
document prepared by EPA, submitted
for approval to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
the Paperwork Reduction Act, and
placed into the docket for the August 8,
2011 proposed rule.
DATES: Under the Paperwork Reduction
Act, comments on the information
collection provisions must be received
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) on or before October 11,
2011.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to OMB at
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk
Officer for EPA. In addition, send

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On August 8, 2011, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA
or the Agency) published a proposed
rule to revise the regulations for
hazardous waste management under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) to conditionally exclude
carbon dioxide (CO2) streams that are
hazardous from the definition of
hazardous waste, provided these
hazardous CO2 streams meet certain
conditions. 76 FR 48073. Today’s
correction notice is necessary because
EPA published incorrect burden
estimates in the preamble to the
proposed rule. See Section VII.B. of the
preamble (Paperwork Reduction Act).
76 FR at 48090–91. EPA notes, however,
that the correct burden estimates were
in the Information Collection Request
(ICR) document prepared by EPA,
submitted for approval to the Office of
Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq., and placed into the docket
for the August 8, 2011 proposed rule
(EPA–HQ–RCRA–2010–0695). The ICR
was assigned EPA ICR number 2421.01.
The statement in the preamble
referenced above, which begins with
‘‘EPA estimates * * *’’ in the first full
paragraph of the first column on page
48091, should read as follows:
‘‘EPA estimates the total annual
burden to respondents under the new
paperwork requirements to be 27 hours
and $2,287. However, EPA also
estimates an annual burden savings
under the existing RCRA subtitle C
paperwork requirements of 103 hours
and $8,497. Thus, this would result in
a net annual savings of 76 hours and
$6,210. The bottom-line burden savings
over three years is estimated to be 228
hours and $18,630.’’ The remainder of
this paragraph is unchanged.
The public is invited to comment on
this technical correction notice and/or

the supporting ICR document (EPA ICR

this rule (EPA–HQ–RCRA–2010–0695)
includes the full ICR document. Please
submit any comments related to this
technical correction notice and/or the
full ICR document to both EPA and
OMB. EPA is allowing for comments on
this technical correction notice and/or
the supporting ICR document to be
submitted up to 30 days after the
publication of this technical correction
notice in the Federal Register (see
DATES section above), but is not
changing the October 7, 2011 deadline
for any non-ICR related comments on
the August 8, 2011 proposed rule. The
final rule will respond to any comments
on the information collection
requirements contained in this technical
correction notice.

vessels. The proposal includes
provisions covering: Specific electrical
and machinery requirements for new
and existing towing vessels, the use and
approval of third-party auditors and
surveyors, and procedures for obtaining
Certificates of Inspection. Without
making a specific proposal in the NPRM
regarding potential requirements for
hours of service or crew endurance
management for mariners aboard towing
vessels, the Coast Guard also welcomes
comments on these two important
issues, which are discussed in the
NPRM.
Public meetings will be held on
the following dates to provide an
opportunity for oral comments:
• Tuesday, October 18, 2011, in
Newport News, VA, from 9 a.m. until
5 p.m.;
• Monday, October 24, 2011, in St.
Louis, MO, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.;

Written comments and related
material may also be submitted to Coast
Guard personnel specified at those
meetings for inclusion in the official
docket for this rulemaking. The
comment period for the NPRM closes on
December 9, 2011. All comments and
related material submitted after the
meeting must either be submitted to our
online docket via https://
