Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations EPA believes that this action does not have potential disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations, low-income populations and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994), because it does not affect the applicable ozone NAAQS which establish the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. This rule and the earlier approval of Maine’s request to opt the seven counties in the Southern Maine Area out of the Federal RFG program removes the Federal RFG gasoline program requirements for the Southern Maine Area. EPA has concluded that the Federal RFG opt-out will not cause a measurable increase in ozone concentrations that would result in a violation of any ozone NAAQS including the 1997, 2008 ozone NAAQS and the more stringent 2015 ozone NAAQS. 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 Maine’s non-interference demonstration. A copy of EPA’s approval on July 2, 2021, of Maine’s SIP revision has been placed in the public docket for this action. K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) This action is subject to the CRA, and the 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 section IV, including the basis for that finding. VI. Legal Authority and Statutory Provisions The statutory authority for this action is granted to EPA by sections 211(k) and VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Aug 25, 2022 Jkt 256001 Michael S.
