L. 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). The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. 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 action 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). Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 8, 2020. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:48 Apr 08, 2020 Jkt 250001 time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

Does this action apply to me? You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture (including import) chemical substances listed on the TSCA Inventory. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include but are not limited to: • Chemical manufacturers (including importers) (NAICS codes 325 and 324110, e.g., chemical manufacturing and processing and petroleum refineries). • Chemical users and processors who may manufacture a byproduct chemical substance (NAICS codes 22, 322, 331, and 3344, e.g., utilities, paper manufacturing, primary metal manufacturing, and semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing). khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES B. What action is the Agency taking? The 2020 CDR submission period is from June 1 to September 30, 2020 (40 CFR 711.20). EPA is issuing this amendment to extend the deadline for 2020 CDR submission reports until November 30, 2020. This is a one-time extension: subsequent submission periods (recurring every four years, next in 2024) are not being amended. The Agency is taking this action to provide additional time for the regulated community to familiarize themselves with the changes to the CDR reporting requirements as a result of the CDR Revisions Final Rule (FRL–10006– 56) that published elsewhere in this Federal Register and to allow time for reporters to familiarize themselves with an updated public version of the reporting tool. EPA believes it is appropriate to extend the reporting period to allow the regulated community additional time to submit their reports. With respect to the timing of this action, the need for the Agency to extend the deadline arose, in part, as a result of the time needed to develop a final rule (the CDR Revisions Final Rule (FRL–10006–56) that published elsewhere in this Federal Register) while addressing public comments received, to incorporate broader Agency policy decisions relevant to data reporting, and to carry out interagency review of the CDR Revisions Final Rule. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:48 Apr 08, 2020 Jkt 250001 C. What is the Agency’s authority for taking this action? The CDR rule was issued pursuant to the authority of TSCA section 8(a), 15 U.S.C. 2607(a). In addition, under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), an agency may issue a final rule without a prior proposal if it finds that notice and public participatory procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. In this case, the Agency finds that normal notice and public process rulemaking is impracticable and unnecessary because this is just an extension of the reporting period. Given that the current reporting deadline is September 30, 2020, it is impracticable to follow notice and comment procedures to extend that deadline because the typical notice and comment rulemaking process would not allow a rule to be finalized before the current reporting deadline, and is unnecessary because extending the deadline is an administrative rulemaking. This action does not alter the substantive CDR reporting requirements in any way. The Agency also believes the one-time extension will not result in a significant delay in the processing and availability of CDR information to potential users. Further, this action is consistent with the public interest because it is designed to facilitate compliance with the CDR rule and to ensure that the 2020 collection includes accurate data on chemical manufacturing, processing, and use in the United States. Finally, any impact on the regulated community is expected to be beneficial given that the one-time extension provides additional time to submit accurate CDR reports to EPA. Similarly, under APA section 553(d), 5 U.S.C. 553(d), an agency may make a rule immediately effective ‘‘for good cause found and published with the rule.’’ For the reasons discussed in this unit, EPA believes that there is ‘‘good cause’’ to make this amendment effective upon publication in the Federal Register. II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at https://www2.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders. A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review This action is classified as a final rule because it makes an amendment to the PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 19891 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The amendment to the CFR is necessary to allow for a one-time extension to the 2020 CDR reporting period. This action does not impose any new requirements or amend substantive requirements. As such, this action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) This action does not contain any new or revised information collections subject to OMB approval under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Information collection activities contained in CDR are already approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control No. 2070–0162 (EPA ICR No. 1884). C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) This action is not subject to the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The RFA applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. This rule is not subject to notice and comment requirements under the APA because the Agency has invoked the APA ‘‘good cause’’ exemption. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) This action will not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538 et seq. E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action will not have federalism impacts as defined in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) because this action will not have substantial direct effects on States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and States. F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments This action will not have tribal implications as defined in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) because this action will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

The novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–19) pandemic and associated respiratory illness have spread throughout the United States in recent weeks. In response to this pandemic, many health care providers are expanding existing telehealth services and implementing new telehealth services, and the demand for connected care services provided directly to patients in their homes or their mobile locations is skyrocketing. As a result, many health care providers are facing new challenges in technical infrastructure and experiencing staffing issues. In response to the outbreak, on March 27, 2020, President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES), Act into law, Public Law 116–136, 134 Stat. 281 (2020), providing, among a panoply of other actions, $200 million to the FCC to support health care providers in the fight against the ongoing pandemic. 2. In the R&O, to effectuate Congress’ intent in enacting the CARES Act, the Commission establishes a $200 million emergency COVID–19 Telehealth Program to implement the CARES Act and ensure access to connected care services and devices in response to the ongoing COVID–19 pandemic and surge E:\FR\FM\09APR1.SGM 09APR1

deadline for 2020 reports from September 30, 2020, to November 30, 
2020. This is a one-time extension for the 2020 submission period only. 
The CDR regulations require manufacturers (including importers) of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

[[Page 19891]]

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you manufacture 
(including import) chemical substances listed on the TSCA Inventory. 
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System 
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a 
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. 
Potentially affected entities may include but are not limited to:
     Chemical manufacturers (including importers) (NAICS codes 
325 and 324110, e.g., chemical manufacturing and processing and 
petroleum refineries).
     Chemical users and processors who may manufacture a 
byproduct chemical substance (NAICS codes 22, 322, 331, and 3344, e.g., 
utilities, paper manufacturing, primary metal manufacturing, and 
semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing).

B. What action is the Agency taking?

    The 2020 CDR submission period is from June 1 to September 30, 2020 
(40 CFR 711.20). EPA is issuing this amendment to extend the deadline 
for 2020 CDR submission reports until November 30, 2020. This is a one-
time extension: subsequent submission periods (recurring every four 
years, next in 2024) are not being amended.
    The Agency is taking this action to provide additional time for the 
regulated community to familiarize themselves with the changes to the 
CDR reporting requirements as a result of the CDR Revisions Final Rule 
(FRL-10006-56) that published elsewhere in this Federal Register and to 
allow time for reporters to familiarize themselves with an updated 
public version of the reporting tool. EPA believes it is appropriate to 
extend the reporting period to allow the regulated community additional 
time to submit their reports. With respect to the timing of this 
action, the need for the Agency to extend the deadline arose, in part, 
as a result of the time needed to develop a final rule (the CDR 
Revisions Final Rule (FRL-10006-56) that published elsewhere in this 
Federal Register) while addressing public comments received, to 
incorporate broader Agency policy decisions relevant to data reporting, 
and to carry out interagency review of the CDR Revisions Final Rule.

C. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    The CDR rule was issued pursuant to the authority of TSCA section 
8(a), 15 U.S.C. 2607(a). In addition, under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), an agency 
may issue a final rule without a prior proposal if it finds that notice 
and public participatory procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or 
contrary to the public interest. In this case, the Agency finds that 
normal notice and public process rulemaking is impracticable and 
unnecessary because this is just an extension of the reporting period. 
Given that the current reporting deadline is September 30, 2020, it is 
impracticable to follow notice and comment procedures to extend that 
deadline because the typical notice and comment rulemaking process 
would not allow a rule to be finalized before the current reporting 
deadline, and is unnecessary because extending the deadline is an 
administrative rulemaking.
    This action does not alter the substantive CDR reporting 
requirements in any way. The Agency also believes the one-time 
extension will not result in a significant delay in the processing and 
availability of CDR information to potential users. Further, this 
action is consistent with the public interest because it is designed to 
facilitate compliance with the CDR rule and to ensure that the 2020 
collection includes accurate data on chemical manufacturing, 
processing, and use in the United States. Finally, any impact on the 
regulated community is expected to be beneficial given that the one-
time extension provides additional time to submit accurate CDR reports 
to EPA.
    Similarly, under APA section 553(d), 5 U.S.C. 553(d), an agency may 
make a rule immediately effective ``for good cause found and published 
with the rule.'' For the reasons discussed in this unit, EPA believes 
that there is ``good cause'' to make this amendment effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register.

II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders 
can be found at https://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is classified as a final rule because it makes an 
amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The amendment to 
the CFR is necessary to allow for a one-time extension to the 2020 CDR 
reporting period. This action does not impose any new requirements or 
amend substantive requirements. As such, this action is not a 
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 
51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 
21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not contain any new or revised information 
collections subject to OMB approval under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq. Information collection activities contained in CDR are already 
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control 
No. 2070-0162 (EPA ICR No. 1884).

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    This action is not subject to the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. The RFA 
applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking 
requirements under the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. This 
rule is not subject to notice and comment requirements under the APA 
because the Agency has invoked the APA ``good cause'' exemption.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action will not impose any enforceable duty or contain any 
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-
1538 et seq.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action will not have federalism impacts as defined in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) because this 
action will not have substantial direct effects on States, on the 
relationship between the Federal Government and States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 
Government and States.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    This action will not have tribal implications as defined in 
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) because this 
action will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, 
on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, 
or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the 
Federal Government and Indian tribes.

[[Page 19892]]

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 
April 23, 1997), because this is not an economically significant 
regulatory action as defined under Executive Order 12866, and it does 
not address environmental health or safety risks disproportionately 
affecting children.

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 this action is not expected to affect energy 
supply, distribution, or use and because this action is not a 
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Since this action does not involve any technical standards, NTTAA 
section 12(d), 15 U.S.C. 272 note, does not apply to this action.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    This action does not entail special considerations of environmental 
justice related issues as delineated by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 
7629, February 16, 1994).

III. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., and EPA 
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the 
Comptroller General of the United States. The CRA allows the issuing 
agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the 
CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and comment 
rulemaking procedures are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the 
public interest (5 U.S.C. 808(2)). The EPA has made a good cause 
finding for this rule as discussed in Unit I.C., including the basis 
for that finding.
