Download as PDF 57756 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 180 / Wednesday, September 16, 2020 / Rules and Regulations regulated community because the regulations being approved by this rule are already in effect in the Commonwealth, and are not changed by this determination. This action merely approves the existing State regulations as meeting the Federal requirements, thus rendering them federally enforceable. This final determination to approve the State UST Program applies to all areas within the State. Though the Commonwealth has primary enforcement responsibility, the EPA retains the right to conduct inspections under section 9005 of RCRA and to take enforcement actions under section 9006 of RCRA. States may enact laws that are more stringent than their Federal counterparts. See RCRA section 9008, 42 U.S.C. 6991g. When an approved state program includes requirements that are considered more stringent than those required by Federal law, the more stringent requirements become part of the federally approved program in accordance with 40 CFR 281.12(a)(3)(i). The EPA has determined that some of the Commonwealth’s regulations are considered more stringent than the Federal program, and upon approval, they will become part of the federally approved State UST Program and therefore federally enforceable. In addition, states may enact laws which have a greater scope of coverage than the Federal program. These provisions are considered broader in scope and are not part of the federally approved program and are therefore not federally enforceable. See 40 CFR 281.12(a)(3). Although these requirements are enforceable by the Commonwealth as a matter of State law, they are not RCRA requirements. The statutory and regulatory provisions the Agency has decided to approve are found generally at KRS 224.60–100 et seq. and 401 KAR 42:005 et seq. However, the EPA has determined that the following State UST Program requirements are broader in scope than the Federal program.2 jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES Statutory Broader in Scope Provisions • KRS 224.60–130 to 140, insofar as these relate to UST registration requirements, the establishment of a Petroleum Environmental Assurance Fee, and the administration of the State Petroleum Storage Tank Environmental Assurance Fund. • KRS 224.60–150, insofar as it relates to the authority to levy and collect an annual fee of thirty (30) 2 If a statutory or regulatory provision is not identified in the following analysis as being broader in scope, then the provision is part of the approved UST Program and federally enforceable. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:31 Sep 15, 2020 Jkt 250001 dollars per tank from owners or operators of USTs for the purpose of funding the administration of the UST Program. Authority: This action is issued under the authority of Sections 2002(a), 7004(b), 9004, 9005 and 9006 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6974(b), 6991c, 6991d, and 6991e. Regulatory Broader in Scope Provisions Dated: August 18, 2020. Mary Walker, Regional Administrator, Region 4. • 401 KAR 42:020, section 2, insofar as it relates to the establishment of UST registration requirements and the collection of annual fees. • 401 KAR 42:250, insofar as it relates to eligibility requirements and administrative procedures for the Petroleum Storage Tank Environmental Assurance Fund. • 401 KAR 42:330, insofar as it relates to the eligibility requirements and rates for reimbursement from the Small Owners Tank Removal Account. • 401 KAR 42:060, insofar as it relates to the UST Corrective Action Manual for site investigations and corrective action activities for releases from UST systems. D. Statutory and Executive Order (E.O.) Reviews This final action merely approves Kentucky’s UST Program requirements pursuant to RCRA section 9004 and does not impose additional requirements other than those imposed by State law. For further information on how this action complies with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions, please see the EPA’s tentative determination published in the July 1, 2020 Federal Register at 85 FR 29517. 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. The EPA will submit a report containing this document 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 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. What does this technical correction do? EPA issued a final rule (referred to as SNUR Batch 19–5.B) in the August 3, 2020 Federal Register (85 FR 46550) (FRL–10009–78) on significant new uses for chemical substances that were the subject of PMNs. EPA subsequently determined that the final rule incorrectly identified the CASRN associated with the chemical substance silsesquioxanes, 3(dimethyloctadecylammonio)propyl Me Pr, polymers with silicic acid (H4SiO4) tetra-Et ester, (2-hydroxyethoxy)- and methoxy-terminated, chlorides (PMN P19-24) codified at 40 CFR 721.11380. This action corrects the error as follows: • Paragraph (a)(1) of the SNUR at 40 CFR 721.11380 is corrected to identify the CASRN for the substance that was the subject of PMN P-19-24 as 2231249– 14–0. II. Why is this correction issued as a final rule? Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)) provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, the Agency may issue a final rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for making this technical correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment. Correcting the CASRN specified in the August 3, 2020 final rule is necessary for the proper identification of the chemical substance which is the subject of the SNUR at 40 CFR 721.11380. EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES III. Do any of the statutory and Executive Order reviews apply to this action?

Significant New Use Rules on Certain Chemical Substances (19-
5.B); Technical Correction for PMN P-19-24

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA issued final significant new use rules (SNURs) in the 
August 3, 2020 Federal Register for chemical substances that were the 
subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). EPA incorrectly identified 
the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN) for the chemical 
substance that was the subject of PMN P-19-24. This technical 
correction is being issued to correct this error.

DATES: This technical correction is effective October 2, 2020. For 
purposes of judicial review, this rule shall be promulgated at 1 p.m. 
(e.s.t.) on September 30, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this action, identified by docket 
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0495, is available at 
https://www.regulations.gov. Due to the public health concerns related 
to COVID-19, the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC) and Reading Room is closed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What does this technical correction do?

    EPA issued a final rule (referred to as SNUR Batch 19-5.B) in the 
August 3, 2020 Federal Register (85 FR 46550) (FRL-10009-78) on 
significant new uses for chemical substances that were the subject of 
PMNs. EPA subsequently determined that the final rule incorrectly 
identified the CASRN associated with the chemical substance 
silsesquioxanes, 3-(dimethyloctadecylammonio)propyl Me Pr, polymers 
with silicic acid (H4SiO4) tetra-Et ester, (2-hydroxyethoxy)- and 
methoxy-terminated, chlorides (PMN P-19-24) codified at 40 CFR 
721.11380. This action corrects the error as follows:
     Paragraph (a)(1) of the SNUR at 40 CFR 721.11380 is 
corrected to identify the CASRN for the substance that was the subject 
of PMN P-19-24 as 2231249-14-0.

II. Why is this correction issued as a final rule?

    Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(3)(B)) provides that, when an Agency for good cause finds that 
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary 
to the public interest, the Agency may issue a final rule without 
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has 
determined that there is good cause for making this technical 
correction final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment. 
Correcting the CASRN specified in the August 3, 2020 final rule is 
necessary for the proper identification of the chemical substance which 
is the subject of the SNUR at 40 CFR 721.11380. EPA finds that this 
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).

III. Do any of the statutory and Executive Order reviews apply to this 
action?

    No. For a detailed discussion concerning the statutory and 
Executive Order review, refer to Unit XII. of the August 3, 2020 final 
rule.

IV. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    Pursuant to the CRA (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 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. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
