Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is taking direct final
action on updates to 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 ‘‘Proposed Rules’’
section of today’s Federal Register, we
are simultaneously publishing the 2012
OMB NAICS revisions for TRI Reporting
as a proposed rule. If we receive no
adverse comment, this direct final rule
will become effective as specified
herein, and we will withdraw the
proposed rule. If, however, we do
receive adverse comments in response
to this direct final rule or the proposed

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 138 / Thursday, July 18, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
rule, then we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public that this direct
final rule will not take effect. In that
case, we would address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. We will not
institute a second comment period on
this action. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time. For
further information about commenting
on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section
of this document.
DATES: This rule is effective on October
16, 2013 without further notice, unless
EPA receives adverse comment by
August 19, 2013. If EPA receives
adverse comment, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that the
rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Management and Budget (OMB) final
2012 NAICS revision (75 FR 26856 and
76 FR 51240). However, as explained in
the SUMMARY section of this
document, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’
section of today’s Federal Register, we
are simultaneously publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposed rule to adopt 2012 NAICS
Codes for TRI Reporting if adverse
comments are received on this direct
final rule.
I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule?
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.
EPA is publishing this rule without a
prior proposed rule because we view
this as a noncontroversial action and
anticipate no adverse comment. 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
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, subpart B. If you do
not assert a confidentiality claim at the
time of submission, the information may

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 138 / Thursday, July 18, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:50 Jul 17, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 direct final action will 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. This Action
A. What would this action do?
EPA will 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. Will this action change the universe
of facilities that are currently required to
report to EPA and the States?
Today’s action of updating the list of
NAICS codes to reflect the 2012 OMB
NAICS revision will not change the
universe of facilities that are currently
required to report to EPA and the States.
C. How will section 313 reporting
requirements change as a result of this
direct final rule?
TRI reporting requirements will not
change as a result of this direct final
rule. This rule will simply revise the
NAICS codes to reflect the OMB NAICS
2012 revision.
VII. Which TRI-covered NAICS codes
have been modified under this direct
final rule?
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) revises North American Industry
Classification System 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. All facilities that are currently
required to report to TRI will still be
required to report, and facilities that are
not currently required to file TRI reports
to the Agency will not be required to do
so. However, due to the 2012 NAICS
modifications, some facilities will need
to modify their NAICS codes as outlined
in the table below. This table reflects
only the 2007 TRI NAICS reporting
codes that were revised in 2012.

VIII. What additional reporting burden
is associated with this action?
This direct final rule adds no new
reporting requirements, and there will
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.

Requirements
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
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.

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
rule only updates the NAICS codes
already reported by respondents.
After considering the economic
impacts of today’s final rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This final rule will not impose any
requirements on small entities.
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
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
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.

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
updates the NAICS reporting codes used
by TRI reporting facilities on chemical
reporting forms. Thus, Executive Order
13132 does not apply to this rule.
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 updates
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
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
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.

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.
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 Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This final
rule is effective 90 days from the date
of publication in the Federal Register.
TRI facilities must use 2012 NAICS
codes when reporting to TRI beginning
with reporting forms that are due by
July 1, 2014.
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 final
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
updates the NAICS reporting codes for
TRI reporting purposes.

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

negotiated rate arrangements.
DATES: Effective date: This Final Rule is
effective July 19, 2013.
Compliance date: Foreign-based
unlicensed non-vessel-operating
common carriers shall comply with the
requirements of 46 CFR 515.19 no later
than October 17, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Background
Under the Commission’s current rule
at 46 CFR part 532, titled NVOCC
Negotiated Rate Arrangements, licensed
non-vessel-operating common carriers
(NVOCCs) that choose to enter into
negotiated rate arrangements (NRAs) are
exempted from the tariff rate
publication requirements of the
Shipping Act of 1984 and certain
provisions and requirements of the
Commission’s regulations. At the time
of the promulgation of the rule, the
Commission determined to exempt only
licensed NVOCCs because of concerns
relating to the limited information
available to the Commission about
foreign-based unlicensed NVOCCs.
On December 5, 2012, however, the
Commission determined it could extend
the exemption at 46 CFR part 532 to
foreign-based unlicensed NVOCCs by
implementing new registration and
other requirements. A Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was
published on February 26, 2013. 78 FR
13011.

Comments
The Commission received six
comments: Federazione Nazionale delle
Imprese di Spedizioni Internazionali
(FEDESPEDI), International Federation
of Freight Forwarders Association
(FIATA), National Customs Brokers and
Forwarders Association of America, Inc.
(NCBFAA), Transportation
Intermediaries Association (TIA),
Unaffiliated Shippers of America
(USOA), and UPS Ocean Freight
Services, Inc. (UPS).
FEDESPEDI supports the proposed
rule and argues that the current rule is
discriminatory. FEDESPEDI believes
that granting the exemption to foreignbased unlicensed NVOCCs ‘‘will
contribute to a level playing field and,
at the same time, will reduce operating
costs for [its] members, allowing them to
concentrate on quality and price, rather
th[a]n expending unnecessary time and
money on administrative compliance.’’
FIATA states that many of its
members are NVOCCs. FIATA supports
equal treatment of all NVOCCs, so that
they are permitted to use the exemption
whether or not they are licensed by the
Commission. FIATA states that an
NVOCC not using the exemption has the
expense of maintaining tariff
publication with no offsetting benefit to
the shipping public. FIATA also states
that the Commission has the ability to
revoke the exemption for any NVOCC
found to be abusing it. Like FEDESPEDI,
FIATA believes that the proposed rule
‘‘will resolve the problem of unequal
playing fields for foreign-based NVOCCs
and their competitors in the United
States and will give them the same tools
to serve their customers without
additional costs.’’
NCBFAA supports the proposed rule.
NCBFAA states that the extension of the
exemption would increase competition
by freeing foreign-based unlicensed
NVOCCs from the burden of rate tariff
publication obligation; that eliminating
the costs of rate tariff publication for
foreign-based unlicensed NVOCCs will
better position them to serve their
customers; and that removing the
artificial distinction between U.S. and
foreign NVOCCs will avoid possible
regulatory measures of foreign
governments seeking to level the
playing field between their nationals
and those of the U.S. NCBFAA notes
that extending the NRA exemption will
not remove any Shipping Act
protections available to shippers
because the exemption would not
disturb or remove prohibitions for false
billings, classifications or other unfair or
unjust efforts to either obtain
transportation at inappropriate rates or
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
to otherwise engage in fraudulent billing
practices. NCBFAA believes that the
registration and other requirements
suggested in the NPRM are reasonable
and appropriate as they do not impose
any burden on foreign entities that is
greater than that currently borne by
licensed NVOCCs. In particular,
NCBFAA believes that the proposed
registration process requiring foreignbased unlicensed NVOCCs to provide
basic information about their identity,
appoint an agent for service of process,
or agree to comply with legitimate
document requests is appropriate.
TIA commends the Commission for
moving forward with the NPRM. TIA
states that the proposed extension will
level the playing field for foreign-based
unlicensed NVOCCs and their
competitors in the U.S. and will give
such NVOCCs the same tools to serve
their customers without incurring
additional cost.
USOA asserts that, as there are many
examples of foreign-based NVOCCs
‘‘acting in manners which reflects
extortion against [l]icensed US based
NVOCCs,’’ the Commission should not
allow foreign-based unlicensed NVOCCs
any exemption from the present
requirements of the Shipping Act.
USOA states that the NRA should not be
available to foreign-based unlicensed
NVOCCs ‘‘except if there is a valid
bonded tariff on file with FMC.’’
Although it appears that UPS does not
oppose the extension of NRA to foreignbased unlicensed NVOCCs in general,
UPS opposes the requirements in the
NPRM for a formal renewal process
every three years for such NVOCCs. UPS
states that ‘‘[t]his is an unnecessary
regulatory burden that clearly will not
facilitate Commission regulation or
enforcement in any way, and does not
otherwise benefit US commerce or
shippers.’’ UPS claims that because
foreign-based NVOCCs are already
required to update their information
promptly under the proposed section
515.19(f), the three-year renewal
requirement is unnecessary,
burdensome and should be dropped.
Alternatively, UPS suggests that
proposed 46 CFR 515.19(d) be revised to
allow submission of a certificate, in lieu
of a renewal of registration.1
1 UPS suggests that the proposed 46 CFR
515.19(d) be revised by adding to the end the
reference ‘‘. . . provided, however, that where
applicable, a registered foreign NVOCC may submit
in lieu of an updated registration form a certificate
signed by a fully-authorized representative reading:

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: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on updates to 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 ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal
Register, we are simultaneously publishing the 2012 OMB NAICS revisions
for TRI Reporting as a proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment,
this direct final rule will become effective as specified herein, and
we will withdraw the proposed rule. If, however, we do receive adverse
comments in response to this direct final rule or the proposed
[[Page 42876]]
rule, then we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public that this direct final rule will not take effect.
In that case, we would address all public comments in a subsequent
final rule based on the proposed rule. We will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. For further information about commenting on
this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
DATES: This rule is effective on October 16, 2013 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by August 19, 2013. If EPA
receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OEI-2011-0979, by one of the following methods:

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule?
EPA is publishing this rule without a prior proposed rule because
we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse
comment. 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) final 2012 NAICS revision (75 FR 26856 and 76 FR 51240).
However, as explained in the SUMMARY section of this document, in the
``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal Register, we are
simultaneously publishing a separate document that will serve as the
proposed rule to adopt 2012 NAICS Codes for TRI Reporting if adverse
comments are received on this direct final rule.
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, subpart B. If you do not assert a
confidentiality claim at the time of submission, the information may
[[Page 42877]]
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 direct final action will 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. This Action
A. What would this action do?
EPA will 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. Will this action change the universe of facilities that are
currently required to report to EPA and the States?
Today's action of updating the list of NAICS codes to reflect the
2012 OMB NAICS revision will not change the universe of facilities that
are currently required to report to EPA and the States.
C. How will section 313 reporting requirements change as a result of
this direct final rule?
TRI reporting requirements will not change as a result of this
direct final rule. This rule will simply revise the NAICS codes to
reflect the OMB NAICS 2012 revision.
VII. Which TRI-covered NAICS codes have been modified under this direct
final rule?
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) revises North American
Industry Classification System 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. All facilities that are currently
required to report to TRI will still be required to report, and
facilities that are not currently required to file TRI reports to the
Agency will not be required to do so. However, due to the 2012 NAICS
modifications, some facilities will need to modify their NAICS codes as
outlined in the table below. This table reflects only the 2007 TRI
NAICS reporting codes that were revised in 2012.

VIII. What additional reporting burden is associated with this action?
This direct final rule adds no new reporting requirements, and
there will 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 rule only updates the NAICS
codes already reported by respondents.
After considering the economic impacts of today's final rule on
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This final
rule will not impose any requirements on small entities.
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
[[Page 42882]]
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 updates the NAICS
reporting codes used by TRI reporting facilities on chemical reporting
forms. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
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 updates 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 final 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 updates the NAICS reporting codes for TRI reporting purposes.
K. 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 the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register.
This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
This final rule is effective 90 days from the date of publication in
the Federal Register. TRI facilities must use 2012 NAICS codes when
reporting to TRI beginning with reporting forms that are due by July 1,
2014.
