Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 158 / Thursday, August 17, 2017 / Proposed Rules Executive Order. EPA has no reason to believe that this action may disproportionately affect children since Tennessee has provided evidence that a relaxation of the gasoline RVP will not interfere with its attainment of the ozone NAAQS for Shelby County, or any other applicable CAA requirement. By separate action, EPA has approved Tennessee’s non-interference demonstration regarding its maintenance plan for the 2008 ozone NAAQS, and that Tennessee’s relaxation of the gasoline RVP standard in Shelby County to 9.0 RVP will not interfere with any other NAAQS or CAA requirement. I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS 17:29 Aug 16, 2017 Jkt 241001 ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal Register, EPA is promulgating the 2017 NAICS code update as a direct final rule.

Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations EPA believes the human health or environmental risk addressed by this action would not have potential disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income or indigenous populations because it does not affect the applicable ozone NAAQS which establish the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. This rule would relax the applicable volatility standard of gasoline during the summer, possibly resulting in slightly higher mobile source emissions. However, Tennessee has demonstrated in its non-interference demonstration that this action will not interfere with maintenance of the ozone NAAQS in Shelby County for the 2008 ozone NAAQS, or with any other applicable requirement of the CAA. Therefore, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations are not an anticipated result. The results of this evaluation are contained in EPA’s proposed and final rules for Tennessee’s non-interference demonstration. A copy of Tennessee’s April 12, 2017 letter requesting that EPA relax the gasoline RVP standard, including the technical analysis demonstrating that the less stringent VerDate Sep<11>2014 gasoline RVP would not interfere with continued maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS in Shelby County, or with any other applicable CAA requirement, has been placed in the public docket for this action.
