Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 35 / Friday, February 21, 2020 / Proposed Rules I. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use PART 51—REQUIREMENTS FOR PREPARATION, ADOPTION, AND SUBMITTAL OF IMPLEMENTATION PLANS This action is not a ‘‘significant energy action’’ because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution or use of energy. This action merely allows states the option to reflect in their SIPs a reduction in minimum reporting frequency specified for certain categories of stationary sources regulated under the CAA. ■ J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations The EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations, lowincome populations and/or indigenous populations as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This action merely allows states the option to reflect in their SIPs a reduction in minimum reporting frequency specified for certain categories of stationary sources regulated under the CAA, which will have no effect on any obligation to comply with emission limitations in SIPs. Authority: 23 U.S.C. 101; 42 U.S.C. 7401– 7671q. APPENDIX P TO PART 51—MINIMUM EMISSION MONITORING REQUIREMENTS—[AMENDED] 2. In appendix P to part 51: a. Paragraph 1.0 is amended by removing the reference to ‘‘40 CFR 51.165(b).’’ and adding in its place a reference to ‘‘40 CFR 51.214.’’; ■ b. Paragraph 4.1 is amended by removing the words ‘‘each calendar quarter’’ and adding in their place the words ‘‘twice per year at 6-month intervals’’; ■ c. Paragraph 4.6 is amended by removing the words ‘‘in the quarterly summaries, and’’ and adding in their place the words ‘‘as specified in paragraph 4.1 of this appendix and’’; ■ d. Paragraph 5.2.3 is amended by removing the words ‘‘quarterly summary.’’ and adding in their place the words ‘‘reports submitted as specified in paragraph 4.1 of this appendix.’’; ■ e. Paragraph 5.3.3 is amended by removing the words ‘‘quarterly summary.’’ and adding in their place the words ‘‘reports submitted as specified in paragraph 4.1 of this appendix.’’ ■ ■ [FR Doc. 2020–03154 Filed 2–20–20; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY VII.
