was not part of the scope of the Science
Advisory Committee on Chemicals
(SACC) peer review of the carbon
tetrachloride risk evaluation. Thus,
consistent with that approach, EPA did
not conduct peer review of the final
revised unreasonable risk determination
for the carbon tetrachloride risk
evaluation because no technical or
scientific changes were made to the
hazard or exposure assessments or the
risk characterization.
V. Order Withdrawing Previous Order
Regarding Unreasonable Risk
Determinations for Certain Conditions
of Use
EPA is also issuing a new order to
withdraw the TSCA Section 6(i)(1) no
unreasonable risk order issued in
Section 5.4.1 of the November 2020
Carbon Tetrachloride Risk Evaluation
(Ref. 2). This final revised risk
determination supersedes the condition
of use-specific no unreasonable risk
determinations in the November 2020
Carbon Tetrachloride Risk Evaluation
(Ref. 2). The order contained in Section
5.5 of the revised risk determination
(Ref. 1) withdraws the TSCA section
6(i)(1) order contained in Section 5.4.1
of the November 2020 Carbon
Tetrachloride Risk Evaluation (Ref. 2).
Consistent with the statutory
requirements of section 6(a), the Agency
will propose risk management action to
address the unreasonable risk
determined in the carbon tetrachloride
risk evaluation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an
acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic
documents are as legally dependable as
their paper counterparts. Subpart D of
CROMERR requires that state, tribal or
local government agencies that receive,
or wish to begin receiving, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to EPA for a
revision or modification of those
programs and obtain EPA approval.
Subpart D provides standards for such
approvals based on consideration of the
electronic document receiving systems
that the state, tribe, or local government
will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b)
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D
provides special procedures for program
revisions and modifications to allow
electronic reporting, to be used at the
option of the state, tribe or local
government in place of procedures
available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart
D procedures must show that the state,
tribe or local government has sufficient
legal authority to implement the
electronic reporting components of the
programs covered by the application
and will use electronic document
receiving systems that meet the
applicable subpart D requirements.
On October 18,2022, the Michigan
Environment Great Lakes, & Energy
(EGLE) submitted an application titled
MiEnviro Portal system for revisions/
modifications to its EPA-approved
programs under title 40 CFR to allow
new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed

ACTION:
Notice.
The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (Board) has
approved the private-sector adjustment
factor (PSAF) for 2023 of $23.7 million
and the 2023 fee schedules for Federal
Reserve priced services and electronic
access. These actions were taken in
accordance with the Monetary Control
Act of 1980, which requires that, over
the long run, fees for Federal Reserve
priced services be established based on
all direct and indirect costs, including
the PSAF.
DATES: The new fee schedules become
effective January 3, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Private-Sector Adjustment Factor,
Priced Services Cost Recovery, and
Overview of 2023 Price Changes
A. Overview—Each year, as required
by the Monetary Control Act (MCA) of
1980, the Reserve Banks set fees for
priced services provided to financial
institutions. These fees are set to
recover, over the long run, all direct and
indirect costs and imputed costs,
including financing costs, taxes, and
certain other expenses, as well as the
return on equity (profit) that would have
been earned if a private-sector business
provided the services.1 The imputed
1 Although the Monetary Control Act does not
define ‘‘over the long run,’’ the Board has generally
measured long-run cost recovery for mature services
to be over a 10-year rolling time frame. The Board
currently views a 10-year cost recovery expectation
as appropriate for assessing mature services, which
are those that have achieved a critical mass of
customer participation and generally have stable
and predictable volumes, costs, and revenues. The
10-year recovery rate is based on the pro forma
income statements for Federal Reserve priced
services published in the Board’s Annual Report. In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 715 Compensation—Retirement Benefits, the
Reserve Banks recognized a $686.5 million

costs and imputed profit are collectively
referred to as the private-sector
adjustment factor (PSAF).
From 2012 through 2021, the Reserve
Banks recovered 103.0 percent of their
total expenses (including imputed costs)
and targeted after-tax profits or return
on equity (ROE).2 During that period,
check services, the Fedwire® Funds
Service, National Settlement Service,
and Fedwire Securities Service achieved
full cost recovery. FedACH® Services
achieved 97.9 percent cost recovery as
a result of the Reserve Banks’
development and implementation of a
multiyear technology initiative to
modernize the FedACH Services
processing platform capabilities.
Although the modernized platform was
implemented in 2021, the Reserve
Banks are continuing to invest in
platform capabilities, as well as
resiliency initiatives, as part of a
broader enhancement strategy. At the
same time, the Reserve Banks have
made limited changes to existing
FedACH Services fees to provide price
stability for customers in alignment
with pricing policies.3
Table 1 summarizes 2021 actual, 2022
forecasted, and 2023 budgeted annual
cost recovery rates for all priced
services, excluding FedNowSM Service
cost and revenue.4 Cost recovery is
cumulative reduction in equity related to the priced
services’ benefit plans through 2021. Including this
cumulative reduction in equity from 2012 to 2021
results in cost recovery of 94.3 percent for the 10year period. This measure of long-run cost recovery
is also published in the Board’s Annual Report.
2 The Board communicated in its 2019 Notice
Federal Reserve Actions to Support Interbank
Settlement of Instant Payments (‘‘2019 Notice’’) that
it expects the FedNow Service to achieve its first
instance of long run cost recovery outside the 10year time frame typically applied to mature
services. New services like the FedNow Service
may not initially have stable volumes, costs, and
revenues. Application of the 10-year rolling time
frame used to evaluate mature services to the
FedNow Service would result in prohibitively high
or unnecessarily volatile pricing, negatively
affecting the Federal Reserve’s public policy
objectives in providing the service. See ‘‘Federal
Reserve Actions to Support Interbank Settlement of
Instant Payments,’’ 84 FR 39297, (August 9, 2019).

FR-2019-08-09/pdf/2019-17027.pdf.
3 In alignment with the Board’s Principles for the
Pricing of Federal Reserve Bank Services, the
Reserve Banks will continue to assess the tradeoffs
between price stability for customers, investment in
technology infrastructure to reflect desirable longerrun improvements in the ACH system, and the
expectation of achieving full cost recovery for the
FedACH Service over the long run. See Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System,

for Federal Reserve Bank Services,’’ 46 FR 1338,
1343 (Jan. 6, 1981). Available at https://cdn.loc.gov/

expenses, beginning the year the service is available
to participating banks (currently anticipated in mid-
