contingency measures continue to be
suspended for so long as the area
continues to monitor attainment of the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. If, in the
future, the EPA determines after noticeand-comment rulemaking that the area
again violates the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS, the basis for suspending the
attainment demonstration, RFP, RACM,
and contingency measure obligations
would no longer exist.
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
VI. Proposed Action
The EPA proposes to determine,
based on the most recent three years of
complete, quality-assured data meeting
the requirements of 40 CFR part 50,
appendix N, that the Tacoma-Pierce
County Area is currently attaining the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. In
conjunction with and based upon our
proposed determination that TacomaPierce County Area is attaining the
standard, the EPA proposes to
determine that the obligation to submit
the following attainment-related
planning requirements are not
applicable for so long as the area
continues to attain the PM2.5 standard:
The part D, subpart 4 obligations to
provide an attainment demonstration
pursuant to CAA section 189(a)(1)(B),
the RACM provisions of CAA section
189(a)(1)(C), the RFP provisions of CAA
section 189(c), and related attainment
demonstration, RACM, RFP and
contingency measure provisions
requirements of subpart 1, CAA section
172. This proposed action, if finalized,
would not constitute a redesignation to
attainment under CAA section
107(d)(3). In conjunction with this
proposed finding of attainment, the EPA
is proposing to approve MVEBs
calculated for the 2011 attainment year,
the year that the Tacoma-Pierce County
first attained the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS. The EPA is proposing approval
of MVEBs pursuant to 40 CFR
93.109(c)(5)(iii), as described in the
Transportation Conformity Rule and the
preamble of the Transportation
Conformity Restructuring Amendments
(77 FR 14982, March 14, 2012).
VII. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely proposes to approve state law as
meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:53 Jul 17, 2013
Jkt 229001
beyond those imposed by State law. For
that reason, this proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• 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 (Public Law 104–4);
• does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• 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
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• 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
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because it will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. The
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian
country located in the State, except for
non-trust land within the exterior
boundaries of the Puyallup Indian
Reservation, also known as the 1873
Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe
of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25
U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly
provided State and local agencies in
Washington authority over activities on
non-trust lands within the 1873 Survey
Area and the EPA is therefore approving
this SIP on such lands. Consistent with
EPA policy, the EPA provided a
consultation opportunity to the
Puyallup Tribe in a letter dated
December 11, 2012. The EPA did not
receive a request for consultation.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is proposing to update
the list of North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes
subject to reporting under the Toxics
Release Inventory (TRI) to reflect the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) 2012 NAICS revision. Facilities
would be required to use 2012 NAICS
codes when reporting to TRI beginning
with TRI reporting forms that are due on
July 1, 2014, covering releases and other
waste management quantities for the
2013 calendar year. In the ‘‘Rules and
Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal
Register, we are simultaneously
publishing the 2012 OMB NAICS
revisions for TRI Reporting as a direct
final rule without a prior proposed rule.
If we receive no adverse comment, we
will not take further action on this
proposed rule. We will withdraw this
proposed rule, and the direct final rule
will become effective as specified in
that rule. If, however, we do receive
adverse comment in response to this
proposed rule or in response to the
direct final rule, then we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that the
direct final rule will not take effect. In
that case, we would address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. We will not
institute a second comment period on
this action. Any parties interested in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why is EPA issuing this proposed
rule?
This document proposes to take
action to update the list of North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes subject to
reporting under the Toxics Release
Inventory (TRI) to reflect the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) final
2012 NAICS revision (75 FR 26856 and
76 FR 51240). We have published a
direct final rule to adopt the OMB 2012
NAICS codes for TRI reporting purposes
in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section
of this Federal Register because we
view this as a noncontroversial action
and anticipate no adverse comment. We
have explained our reasons for this
action in the preamble to the direct final
rule.
If we receive no adverse comment, we
will not take further action on this
proposed rule. The proposed rule will
be withdrawn, and the direct final rule
will become effective as specified in
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
42911
that rule. If, however, we receive
adverse comment, we will withdraw the
direct final rule and it will not take
effect. In that case, we would address all
public comments in any subsequent
final rule based on this proposed rule.
We do not intend to institute a second
comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must
do so at this time. For further
information, please see the information
provided in the ADDRESSES section of
this document.
II. Does this action apply to me?
Entities that may be affected by this
action are those facilities that have 10 or
more full-time employees or the
equivalent 20,000 hours per year that
manufacture, process, or otherwise use
toxic chemicals listed on the TRI, and
that are required under section 313 of
the Emergency Planning and
Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA)
or section 6607 of the Pollution
Prevention Act (PPA) to report annually
to EPA and States or Tribes their
environmental releases or other waste
management quantities of covered
chemicals. (A rule was published on
April 19, 2012 (77 FR 23409), requiring
facilities located in Indian country to
report to the appropriate tribal
government official and EPA instead of
to the state and EPA.) Under Executive
Order 13423 (January 24, 2007),
published in the Federal Register on
January 26, 2007 (72 FR 3919), all
federal facilities are required to comply
with the provisions set forth in Section
313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the
PPA. On March 29, 2007, the White
House Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) issued Instructions for
Implementing Executive Order 13423,
including annual reporting to the TRI
program. Notice of availability of those
implementing instructions was
published in the Federal Register on
June 18, 2007 (72 FR 33504).
To determine whether your facility is
affected by this action, you should
carefully examine the applicability
criteria in Part 372 of Title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations. If you have
any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section.
III. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
A. Submitting CBI
If you wish to claim information
submitted in a comment to be CBI, it
will be handled in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2,
E:\FR\FM\18JYP1.SGM
18JYP1
42912
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 138 / Thursday, July 18, 2013 / Proposed Rules
subpart B. If you do not assert a
confidentiality claim at the time of
submission, the information may be
made available to the public by EPA
without further notice. See 40 CFR
2.203, 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976.
Do not submit this information to EPA
through www.regulations.gov or email.
Clearly mark the specific information
that you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD ROM the specific information that is
claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR Part 2.

B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments
When submitting comments,
remember to:
• Identify the rulemaking by docket
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
• Follow directions—The Agency
may ask you to respond to specific
questions or organize comments by
referencing a Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part or section
number.
• Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
• Describe any assumptions and
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
• If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.
• Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns, and suggest
alternatives.
• Explain your views as clearly as
possible, avoiding the use of profanity
or personal threats.
• Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
IV. What is EPA’s statutory authority
for taking this action?
EPA is taking this action under
sections 313(g)(1) and 328 of EPCRA, 42
U.S.C. 11023(g)(1) and 11048. EPCRA is
also referred to as Title III of the
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
(Pub. L. 99–499). In general, section 313
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:53 Jul 17, 2013
Jkt 229001
of EPCRA requires owners and operators
of covered facilities in specified
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
codes that manufacture, process, or
otherwise use a listed toxic chemical in
amounts above specified threshold
levels to report certain facility specific
information about such chemicals,
including the annual releases and other
waste management quantities. Section
313(g)(1) of EPCRA requires EPA to
publish a uniform toxic chemical
release form for these reporting
purposes, and it also prescribes, in
general terms, the types of information
that must be submitted on the form.
Section 313(g)(1)(A) requires owners
and operators of facilities that are
subject to section 313 requirements to
report the principal business activities
at the facilities. Congress also granted
EPA broad rulemaking authority to
allow the Agency to fully implement the
statute. EPCRA section 328 states that:
‘‘The Administrator may prescribe such
regulations as may be necessary to carry
out this chapter.’’ 42 U.S.C. 11048.
Consistent with these authorities, on
June 6, 2006, EPA amended 40 CFR Part
372 to include the 2002 NAICS codes
that correspond to the SIC codes that are
currently subject to section 313 of
EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA (71
FR 32464). On June 9, 2008 (73 FR
32466), EPA amended 40 CFR Part 372
to include the 2007 NAICS codes that
correspond to the SIC codes that are
currently subject to section 313 of
EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA.
This proposed action would amend 40
CFR Part 372 to include OMB’s revised
NAICS codes for 2012.
Owners and operators of facilities that
are subject to section 313 would need to
use 2012 NAICS codes when identifying
their principal business activities
beginning with TRI reporting forms that
are due on July 1, 2014, covering
releases and other waste management
quantities at the facility for the 2013
calendar year.
V. Background Information
What is the general background for this
action?
EPA promulgated a final TRI NAICS
rule on June 6, 2006, to amend its
regulations for TRI, found at 40 CFR
Part 372, to include NAICS codes in
addition to SIC codes. The list of TRI
NAICS codes that appeared in the final
rule was developed from the OMB 2002
NAICS revision. EPA updated the list of
TRI NAICS codes in 2008 (73 FR 32466),
to incorporate changes to the TRI NAICS
codes resulting from the OMB 2007
NAICS revision.

The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) revises North American Industry
Classification Codes every five years. An
OMB Federal Register notice published
on May 12, 2010 (75 FR 26856),
announced updated NAICS codes for
2012, and a second OMB Federal
Register notice published on Aug. 17,
2011 (76 FR 51240), finalized and
further modified the NAICS codes for
2012.
VI. Proposed Action
A. What is the agency proposing?
EPA would amend 40 CFR Part 372 to
include 2012 NAICS codes for TRI
reporting that accurately reflect the
universe of covered facilities under
section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607
of the PPA.
B. Would the proposal change the
universe of facilities that are currently
required to report to EPA and the
States?
Today’s proposal of updating the list
of NAICS codes to reflect the 2012 OMB
NAICS revision would not change the
universe of facilities that are currently
required to report to EPA and the States.
C. How would Section 313 reporting
requirements change as a result of this
proposed rule?
TRI reporting requirements would not
change as a result of this proposed rule.
This proposed rule would simply revise
the NAICS codes to reflect the OMB
NAICS 2012 revision.
VII. Which TRI-covered NAICS codes
have been modified under this
proposed rule?
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) revises North American Industry
Classification Codes every five years. An
OMB Federal Register notice published
on May 12, 2010 (75 FR 26856),
announced updated NAICS codes for
2012, and a second OMB Federal
Register notice published on August 17,
2011 (76 FR 51240), finalized and
further modified the NAICS codes for
2012. All facilities that are currently
required to report to TRI would still be
required to report, and facilities that are
not currently required to file TRI reports
to the Agency would not be required to
do so. However, due to the 2012 NAICS
modifications, some facilities would
need to modify their NAICS codes as
outlined in the table below. This table
reflects only the revised TRI NAICS
reporting codes. A complete table of all
TRI NAICS reporting codes can be
found in the regulations at § 372.23.

VIII. What additional reporting burden
is associated with this action?
This proposed rule would add no new
reporting requirements, and there would
be no net increase in respondent
burden. Facilities were first required to
use NAICS codes when reporting their
toxic chemical releases and other waste
management activities to EPA beginning
in 2007 for reporting year 2006. Covered
facilities should refer to the updated
NAICS code list in 40 CFR 372.23 when
reporting. Crosswalk tables between
2007 NAICS codes and 2012 NAICS
codes can be found on the Internet at
https://www.census.gov/epcd/www/
naics.html.

IX. Regulatory Assessment
Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
This action is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under the terms of
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and is therefore not
subject to review under Executive
Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011).
EPA analyzed the potential costs and
benefits associated with this action, and
determined that since this rule adds no
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:53 Jul 17, 2013
Jkt 229001
new reporting requirements, there will
be no net increase in respondent burden
or other economic impacts.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new
information collection burden. Facilities
that are affected by the rule are already
required to report their industrial
classification codes on the approved
reporting forms under section 313 of
EPCRA and 6607 of the PPA.
However, the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) has previously
approved the information collection
requirements contained in 40 CFR part
372 under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq., and has assigned OMB
control number 2025–0009 (EPA ICR
No. 1363–21) for Form R and Form A.
A copy of the OMB approved
Information Collection Requests (ICRs)
may be obtained from Susan Auby,
Collection Strategies Division; U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(2822T); 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.,
Washington, DC 20460 or by calling
(202) 566–1672. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

Sfmt 4702
C. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA),
as Amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.
The RFA generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis of any rule subject to notice
and comment rulemaking requirements
under the Administrative Procedure Act
or any other statute unless the agency
certifies that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small
governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impacts
of this rule on small entities, section 601
of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601, defines ‘‘small
entity’’ as: (1) A business that is
classified as a ‘‘small business’’ by the
Small Business Administration at 13
CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental
jurisdiction that is a government of a
city, county, town, school district or
special district with a population of less
than 50,000; or (3) a small organization
that is any not-for-profit enterprise
which is independently owned and
operated and is not dominant in its
field.
This rule adds no new reporting
requirements, and there will be no net
increase in respondent burden. This
E:\FR\FM\18JYP1.SGM
18JYP1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 138 / Thursday, July 18, 2013 / Proposed Rules
rule only proposes to update the NAICS
codes already reported by respondents.
After considering the economic impacts
of today’s proposed rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This proposed rule will not impose any
requirements on small entities.
We continue to be interested in the
potential impacts of the proposed rule
on small entities and welcome
comments on issues related to such
impacts.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule does not contain a Federal
mandate that may result in expenditures
of $100 million or more to State, local,
and tribal governments, in the aggregate,
or to the private sector in any one year.
This rule adds no new reporting
requirements and there will be no net
increase in respondent burden. Thus,
this rule is not subject to the
requirements of sections 202 or 205 of
UMRA.
This rule is also not subject to the
requirements of section 203 of UMRA
because it contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. This
EPA action contains no new reporting
requirements.
E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
This action does not have federalism
implications. It will not 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, as specified in
Executive Order 13132. This action only
proposes to update the NAICS reporting
codes used by TRI reporting facilities on
chemical reporting forms. Thus,
Executive Order 13132 does not apply
to this rule.
In the spirit of Executive Order 13132,
and consistent with EPA policy to
promote communications between EPA
and State and local governments, EPA
specifically solicits comment on this
proposed action from State and local
officials.
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
F. Executive Order 13175
This action does not have tribal
implications, as specified in Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249), November
9, 2000, because this action only
proposes to update the NAICS reporting
codes for TRI reporting purposes. Thus,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:53 Jul 17, 2013
Jkt 229001
Executive Order 13175 does not apply
to this rule.
G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks
EPA interprets EO 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997), as applying only
to those regulatory actions that concern
health or safety risks, such that the
analysis required under section 5–501 of
the EO has the potential to influence the
regulation. This action is not subject to
EO 13045 because it does not establish
an environmental standard intended to
mitigate health or safety risks.
H. Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22,
2001)), because it is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (‘‘NTTAA’’), Public Law
104–113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards in its regulatory activities
unless to do so would be inconsistent
with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus
standards are technical standards (e.g.,
materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted
by voluntary consensus standards
bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to
provide Congress, through OMB,
explanations when the Agency decides
not to use available and applicable
voluntary consensus standards.
This action does not involve technical
standards. Therefore, EPA did not
consider the use of any voluntary
consensus standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations.
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
42917
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 has determined that this
proposed rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority or low-income populations
because the rule addresses information
collection and does not affect the level
of protection provided to human health
or the environment. This rule simply
proposes to update the NAICS reporting
codes for TRI reporting purposes.

Community Right-to-Know; Adoption of 2012 North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) Codes for Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)
Reporting
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to update the list of North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes subject to reporting under the
Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) to reflect the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) 2012 NAICS revision. Facilities would be required to use
2012 NAICS codes when reporting to TRI beginning with TRI reporting
forms that are due on July 1, 2014, covering releases and other waste
management quantities for the 2013 calendar year. In the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of today's Federal Register, we are
simultaneously publishing the 2012 OMB NAICS revisions for TRI
Reporting as a direct final rule without a prior proposed rule. If we
receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this
proposed rule. We will withdraw this proposed rule, and the direct
final rule will become effective as specified in that rule. If,
however, we do receive adverse comment in response to this proposed
rule or in response to the direct final rule, then we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the
direct final rule will not take effect. In that case, we would address
all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. We will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in
[[Page 42911]]
commenting must do so at this time. For further information about
commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 19, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OEI-2011-0979, by one of the following methods:

accepted during the Docket's normal hours of operation, and special
arrangements should be made for deliveries of boxed information.
Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OEI-
2011-0979. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information for which disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or email. The
www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which
means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email comment
directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov, your email
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters or any form of
encryption and must be free of any defects or viruses. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit the EPA Docket Center
homepage at https://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
for which disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other materials,
such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard
copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically in www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI
Docket, EPA/DC, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW.,
Washington, DC. This Docket Facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The Public
Reading Room is open Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why is EPA issuing this proposed rule?
This document proposes to take action to update the list of North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes subject to
reporting under the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) to reflect the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) final 2012 NAICS revision (75 FR
26856 and 76 FR 51240). We have published a direct final rule to adopt
the OMB 2012 NAICS codes for TRI reporting purposes in the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we view this as
a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct
final rule.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. The proposed rule will be withdrawn, and the
direct final rule will become effective as specified in that rule. If,
however, we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw the direct final
rule and it will not take effect. In that case, we would address all
public comments in any subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule.
We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
For further information, please see the information provided in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
II. Does this action apply to me?
Entities that may be affected by this action are those facilities
that have 10 or more full-time employees or the equivalent 20,000 hours
per year that manufacture, process, or otherwise use toxic chemicals
listed on the TRI, and that are required under section 313 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) or section
6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) to report annually to EPA
and States or Tribes their environmental releases or other waste
management quantities of covered chemicals. (A rule was published on
April 19, 2012 (77 FR 23409), requiring facilities located in Indian
country to report to the appropriate tribal government official and EPA
instead of to the state and EPA.) Under Executive Order 13423 (January
24, 2007), published in the Federal Register on January 26, 2007 (72 FR
3919), all federal facilities are required to comply with the
provisions set forth in Section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the
PPA. On March 29, 2007, the White House Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) issued Instructions for Implementing Executive Order
13423, including annual reporting to the TRI program. Notice of
availability of those implementing instructions was published in the
Federal Register on June 18, 2007 (72 FR 33504).
To determine whether your facility is affected by this action, you
should carefully examine the applicability criteria in Part 372 of
Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
III. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
A. Submitting CBI
If you wish to claim information submitted in a comment to be CBI,
it will be handled in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR
part 2,
[[Page 42912]]
subpart B. If you do not assert a confidentiality claim at the time of
submission, the information may be made available to the public by EPA
without further notice. See 40 CFR 2.203, 41 FR 36902, September 1,
1976. Do not submit this information to EPA through www.regulations.gov
or email. Clearly mark the specific information that you claim to be
CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark
the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that
does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR Part
2.
B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments
When submitting comments, remember to:
Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other
identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and
page number).
Follow directions--The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives
and substitute language for your requested changes.
Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how
you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the
use of profanity or personal threats.
Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
IV. What is EPA's statutory authority for taking this action?
EPA is taking this action under sections 313(g)(1) and 328 of
EPCRA, 42 U.S.C. 11023(g)(1) and 11048. EPCRA is also referred to as
Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
(SARA) (Pub. L. 99-499). In general, section 313 of EPCRA requires
owners and operators of covered facilities in specified Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) codes that manufacture, process, or
otherwise use a listed toxic chemical in amounts above specified
threshold levels to report certain facility specific information about
such chemicals, including the annual releases and other waste
management quantities. Section 313(g)(1) of EPCRA requires EPA to
publish a uniform toxic chemical release form for these reporting
purposes, and it also prescribes, in general terms, the types of
information that must be submitted on the form. Section 313(g)(1)(A)
requires owners and operators of facilities that are subject to section
313 requirements to report the principal business activities at the
facilities. Congress also granted EPA broad rulemaking authority to
allow the Agency to fully implement the statute. EPCRA section 328
states that: ``The Administrator may prescribe such regulations as may
be necessary to carry out this chapter.'' 42 U.S.C. 11048.
Consistent with these authorities, on June 6, 2006, EPA amended 40
CFR Part 372 to include the 2002 NAICS codes that correspond to the SIC
codes that are currently subject to section 313 of EPCRA and section
6607 of the PPA (71 FR 32464). On June 9, 2008 (73 FR 32466), EPA
amended 40 CFR Part 372 to include the 2007 NAICS codes that correspond
to the SIC codes that are currently subject to section 313 of EPCRA and
section 6607 of the PPA. This proposed action would amend 40 CFR Part
372 to include OMB's revised NAICS codes for 2012.
Owners and operators of facilities that are subject to section 313
would need to use 2012 NAICS codes when identifying their principal
business activities beginning with TRI reporting forms that are due on
July 1, 2014, covering releases and other waste management quantities
at the facility for the 2013 calendar year.
V. Background Information
What is the general background for this action?
EPA promulgated a final TRI NAICS rule on June 6, 2006, to amend
its regulations for TRI, found at 40 CFR Part 372, to include NAICS
codes in addition to SIC codes. The list of TRI NAICS codes that
appeared in the final rule was developed from the OMB 2002 NAICS
revision. EPA updated the list of TRI NAICS codes in 2008 (73 FR
32466), to incorporate changes to the TRI NAICS codes resulting from
the OMB 2007 NAICS revision.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) revises North American
Industry Classification Codes every five years. An OMB Federal Register
notice published on May 12, 2010 (75 FR 26856), announced updated NAICS
codes for 2012, and a second OMB Federal Register notice published on
Aug. 17, 2011 (76 FR 51240), finalized and further modified the NAICS
codes for 2012.
VI. Proposed Action
A. What is the agency proposing?
EPA would amend 40 CFR Part 372 to include 2012 NAICS codes for TRI
reporting that accurately reflect the universe of covered facilities
under section 313 of EPCRA and section 6607 of the PPA.
B. Would the proposal change the universe of facilities that are
currently required to report to EPA and the States?
Today's proposal of updating the list of NAICS codes to reflect the
2012 OMB NAICS revision would not change the universe of facilities
that are currently required to report to EPA and the States.
C. How would Section 313 reporting requirements change as a result of
this proposed rule?
TRI reporting requirements would not change as a result of this
proposed rule. This proposed rule would simply revise the NAICS codes
to reflect the OMB NAICS 2012 revision.
VII. Which TRI-covered NAICS codes have been modified under this
proposed rule?
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) revises North American
Industry Classification Codes every five years. An OMB Federal Register
notice published on May 12, 2010 (75 FR 26856), announced updated NAICS
codes for 2012, and a second OMB Federal Register notice published on
August 17, 2011 (76 FR 51240), finalized and further modified the NAICS
codes for 2012. All facilities that are currently required to report to
TRI would still be required to report, and facilities that are not
currently required to file TRI reports to the Agency would not be
required to do so. However, due to the 2012 NAICS modifications, some
facilities would need to modify their NAICS codes as outlined in the
table below. This table reflects only the revised TRI NAICS reporting
codes. A complete table of all TRI NAICS reporting codes can be found
in the regulations at Sec. 372.23.

VIII. What additional reporting burden is associated with this action?
This proposed rule would add no new reporting requirements, and
there would be no net increase in respondent burden. Facilities were
first required to use NAICS codes when reporting their toxic chemical
releases and other waste management activities to EPA beginning in 2007
for reporting year 2006. Covered facilities should refer to the updated
NAICS code list in 40 CFR 372.23 when reporting. Crosswalk tables
between 2007 NAICS codes and 2012 NAICS codes can be found on the
Internet at https://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html.
IX. Regulatory Assessment Requirements
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
(76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
EPA analyzed the potential costs and benefits associated with this
action, and determined that since this rule adds no new reporting
requirements, there will be no net increase in respondent burden or
other economic impacts.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
Facilities that are affected by the rule are already required to report
their industrial classification codes on the approved reporting forms
under section 313 of EPCRA and 6607 of the PPA.
However, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has previously
approved the information collection requirements contained in 40 CFR
part 372 under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq., and has assigned OMB control number 2025-0009 (EPA ICR
No. 1363-21) for Form R and Form A. A copy of the OMB approved
Information Collection Requests (ICRs) may be obtained from Susan Auby,
Collection Strategies Division; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(2822T); 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460 or by calling
(202) 566-1672. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR
are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
C. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as Amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.
The RFA generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
Small entities include small businesses, small organizations, and small
governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small
entities, section 601 of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601, defines ``small
entity'' as: (1) A business that is classified as a ``small business''
by the Small Business Administration at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small
governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town,
school district or special district with a population of less than
50,000; or (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
This rule adds no new reporting requirements, and there will be no
net increase in respondent burden. This
[[Page 42917]]
rule only proposes to update the NAICS codes already reported by
respondents. After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed
rule on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This proposed rule will not impose any requirements on small entities.
We continue to be interested in the potential impacts of the
proposed rule on small entities and welcome comments on issues related
to such impacts.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may result in
expenditures of $100 million or more to State, local, and tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector in any one
year. This rule adds no new reporting requirements and there will be no
net increase in respondent burden. Thus, this rule is not subject to
the requirements of sections 202 or 205 of UMRA.
This rule is also not subject to the requirements of section 203 of
UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This EPA action
contains no new reporting requirements.
E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not 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, as
specified in Executive Order 13132. This action only proposes to update
the NAICS reporting codes used by TRI reporting facilities on chemical
reporting forms. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this
rule.
In the spirit of Executive Order 13132, and consistent with EPA
policy to promote communications between EPA and State and local
governments, EPA specifically solicits comment on this proposed action
from State and local officials.
F. Executive Order 13175
This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249), November 9, 2000, because this
action only proposes to update the NAICS reporting codes for TRI
reporting purposes. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
rule.
G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
EPA interprets EO 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), as applying
only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks,
such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the EO has the
potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to EO
13045 because it does not establish an environmental standard intended
to mitigate health or safety risks.
H. Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA
did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations.
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 has determined that this proposed rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because the rule
addresses information collection and does not affect the level of
protection provided to human health or the environment. This rule
simply proposes to update the NAICS reporting codes for TRI reporting
purposes.
