National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Primary Copper Smelting Residual Risk and Technology Review and Primary Copper Smelting Area Source Technology Review; Extension of Comment Period, 10325-10327 [2022-03987]

Download as PDF jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 37 / Thursday, February 24, 2022 / Proposed Rules Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1–1198, provides a privilege that protects from disclosure documents and information about the content of those documents that are the product of a voluntary environmental assessment. The Privilege Law does not extend to documents or information that: (1) Are generated or developed before the commencement of a voluntary environmental assessment; (2) are prepared independently of the assessment process; (3) demonstrate a clear, imminent and substantial danger to the public health or environment; or (4) are required by law. On January 12, 1998, the Commonwealth of Virginia Office of the Attorney General provided a legal opinion that states that the Privilege Law, Va. Code § 10.1–1198, precludes granting a privilege to documents and information ‘‘required by law,’’ including documents and information ‘‘required by Federal law to maintain program delegation, authorization or approval,’’ since Virginia must ‘‘enforce Federally authorized environmental programs in a manner that is no less stringent than their Federal counterparts . . . .’’ The opinion concludes that ‘‘[r]egarding § 10.1–1198, therefore, documents or other information needed for civil or criminal enforcement under one of these programs could not be privileged because such documents and information are essential to pursuing enforcement in a manner required by Federal law to maintain program delegation, authorization or approval.’’ Virginia’s Immunity law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1–1199, provides that ‘‘[t]o the extent consistent with requirements imposed by Federal law,’’ any person making a voluntary disclosure of information to a state agency regarding a violation of an environmental statute, regulation, permit, or administrative order is granted immunity from administrative or civil penalty. The Attorney General’s January 12, 1998, opinion states that the quoted language renders this statute inapplicable to enforcement of any Federally authorized programs, since ‘‘no immunity could be afforded from administrative, civil, or criminal penalties because granting such immunity would not be consistent with Federal law, which is one of the criteria for immunity.’’ Therefore, EPA has determined that Virginia’s Privilege and Immunity statutes will not preclude the Commonwealth from enforcing its program consistent with the Federal requirements. In any event, because EPA has also determined that a state audit privilege and immunity law can affect only state enforcement and cannot have any impact on Federal VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:26 Feb 23, 2022 Jkt 256001 enforcement authorities, EPA may at any time invoke its authority under the CAA, including, for example, sections 113, 167, 205, 211 or 213, to enforce the requirements or prohibitions of the state plan, independently of any state enforcement effort. In addition, citizen enforcement under section 304 of the CAA is likewise unaffected by this, or any, state audit privilege or immunity law. V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action: • Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011); • Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); • Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.); • Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 10325 practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, this proposed rulemaking, proposing to approve the DC Area base year inventory SIPs for the 2015 ozone NAAQS, does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

SBA provided an explanation of the changes in its final rule preamble. The revisions address the following topics: • The point in the procurement process at which small business size status is determined for offers for multiple-award contracts. • A new ground for a socioeconomic status protest. • The eligibility requirements for 8(a) participants under long-term contracts (i.e., contracts with a duration of more than 5 years). PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 10327 • The small business size standard for information technology value-added resellers under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541519. II. Discussion and Analysis The proposed changes to the FAR are summarized in the following paragraphs. A. Small Business Size Standards Part 19 is proposed to be revised to clarify SBA policy concerning size standards in three areas. First, while SBA generally determines small business size standards at the time of initial offer including price, for a multiple-award contract that does not require offers for the contract to include price, SBA will determine size as of the date of the initial offer for the multipleaward contract, whether or not the offer includes price or the price is evaluated; changes are made at FAR 19.102 and 19.301–1. This proposed rule merely informs contracting officers of SBA’s policy on determinations of size status; it does not include guidance for contracting officers regarding solicitations that do not include price as an evaluation factor for multiple-award contracts. FAR case 2017–010, Evaluation Factors for Multiple-Award Contracts, and FAR case 2018–014, Increasing Task-order Level Competition, provide this guidance. Second, an information technology value-added reseller under NAICS code 541519, proposing to furnish an end product it did not manufacture (i.e., a ‘‘nonmanufacturer’’), is a small business if it has no more than 150 employees. This size standard is implemented at FAR 19.505; FAR 52.204–8, Annual Representations and Certifications and its Alternate I; FAR 52.212–1, Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Items; FAR 52.219–1, Small Business Program Representations and its Alternate II; and FAR 52.219–28, PostAward Small Business Program Rerepresentation. Third, adding new grounds for a socioeconomic status protest based on an allegation that a contractor is unduly reliant on a small, non-similarly situated entity subcontractor or if such subcontractor performs the primary and vital requirements of the contract (the ‘‘ostensible subcontractor rule’’). Changes are made at FAR 19.306 to 19.308. B. Setting Aside Orders Under MultipleAward Contracts That Were Set Aside for Small Business FAR 19.504 is proposed to be revised to clarify that, if a multiple-award E:\FR\FM\24FEP1.SGM 24FEP1
