General Information What is the purpose of this request for public comment? EPA has developed an interactive map of recycling markets that highlights existing recycling infrastructure, per capita generation and recycling of postconsumer materials, and other relevant market factors. By providing a comprehensive resource for understanding opportunities related to post-consumer materials management, this map can help develop and strengthen primary and secondary markets for materials, support cleaner communities by reducing the amount of plastic and other waste entering landfills and the marine environment, and provide opportunities to address climate change by diverting more materials from landfills. The map visually presents data estimates across various phases of the recycling process, including generation, collection, sortation, and end use. This new resource supports implementation of the National Recycling Strategy (https:// www.epa.gov/recyclingstrategy), the Save our Seas 2.0 Act, and the Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) grant program funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, or BIL (https://www.epa.gov/infrastructure). Using publicly available information, EPA populated the map with the locations of 15 different types of recycling and other municipal solid waste (MSW) infrastructure, such as material recovery facilities, anaerobic digesters, composting facilities, glass recycling facilities, MSW landfills, and transfer stations. Using publicly available data from the Ball Corporation, U.S. Census Bureau’s American County Survey, EPA tools including the State Measurement Program and Wasted Food Report, and materials management reports from states and regions, the map also displays 16 types of recyclable material generated and recycled per U.S. zip code, including aluminum, cardboard, electronics, food waste, glass, paper, plastics #1–7, steel cans, tires, textiles, yard trimmings, and wood. The map also includes specific, publicly available information about facilities in the recycling system, including facility names, addresses, counties, phone numbers, emails, websites, North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, infrastructure types, and feedstocks for each facility, where available. PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 EPA is soliciting public comments on the accuracy and completeness of the data, ease of use, graphics, and recommendations on future updates of the map. EPA will analyze the public comments to use as inputs for the next update of the tool. The specific public comment questions are: 1. Accuracy and Completeness of the Data • Do the data reflect recycling infrastructure, end markets and market factors in your location accurately? • Are the recycled materials tonnage estimations consistent with your knowledge of your geographical area? • Are there any missing facilities, end markets, or other layers within the scope of this map that EPA should add? 2. Ease of Use • Does the structure of the map features, layers, and overlays make sense? • Is the interface intuitive? How easy or difficult is it to navigate the various icons and features? • Are the underlying datasets easy to access and download? 3. Graphics • Is the map visually accessible, particularly with multiple icons and layers turned on? • Do you have any recommendations on improving the visualization of the key features? 4. Future Updates • What additional infrastructure, layers, or tools would you want to see in version 2.0 of this map? If you have questions regarding this action, consult the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document. Dated: May 5, 2023.

Agency procedure. AGENCY: ACTION: The Federal Election Commission (‘‘Commission’’) adopted a program in 2011, which was last revised in 2019, providing for a means by which persons may have a legal question considered by the Commission earlier in both the report review process and the audit process. Because the Commission is separately adopting a new audit process, it is revising the policy for the legal question program to narrow its scope to encompass only legal questions arising from requests for corrective action made by the Commission’s Reports Analysis Division. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jessica Selinkoff, Assistant General Counsel, Policy Division, or Joshua Blume, Attorney, 1050 First Street NE, lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:11 May 11, 2023 Jkt 259001 Washington, DC 20463, (202) 694–1650 or (800) 424–9530. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 1, 2011, the Commission adopted a program providing for a means by which persons may have a legal question considered by the Commission earlier in both the report review process and the audit process (‘‘Legal Question Resolution Program’’).1 Because the Commission is separately adopting a new audit process for committees that do not receive public funds, effective June 1, 2024, for audits that begin after that date, the Commission will be terminating the Legal Question Resolution Program for legal questions arising in the course of audits. The Legal Question Resolution Program will remain in full effect with respect to audits commenced before June 1, 2024. At the conclusion of the last audit to be commenced before June 1, 2024, the Legal Question Resolution Program will no longer apply for any purpose. The program announced here and set forth below (‘‘RAD Legal Question Resolution Program’’) will take effect on June 1, 2024, and will apply only to legal questions arising from the Reports Analysis Division’s (‘‘RAD’’) review process.2 I. Procedures Within 15 business days of a determination by RAD that a person remains obligated to take corrective action to resolve an issue that has arisen during the report review process, the person may seek Commission consideration if a material dispute on a question of law exists with respect to the recommended corrective action.3 A ‘‘determination’’ for purposes of triggering the 15 business days is the notification to the person of legal guidance prepared by the Office of General Counsel (‘‘OGC’’) at the request of RAD recommending the corrective action. Any request for consideration by a person during the report review process shall be limited to questions of law on 1 76 FR 45798 (Aug. 1, 2011). The Commission has revised the program three times since 2011, as explained in the last revision. See Policy Statement Regarding a Program for Requesting Consideration of Legal Questions by the Commission, 84 FR 36602 (July 29, 2019). 2 This superseding RAD Legal Request Program will not be available in the course of audits of committees that receive public funding. Audits of such committees are governed by extensive regulations set forth in 11 CFR, subchapters E and F that, in the Commission’s judgment, provide sufficient opportunity to present legal questions to the Commission. 3 Many disputes involving corrective action requests hinge on questions of fact rather than questions of law, and thus are not appropriate for this procedure. PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30741 material issues, when: (1) the legal issue is novel, complex, or pertains to an unsettled question of law; (2) there has been intervening legislation, rulemaking, or litigation since the Commission last considered the issue; or (3) the request to take corrective action is contrary to or otherwise inconsistent with prior Commission matters dealing with the same issue. The request must specify the question of law at issue and why it is subject to Commission consideration. It should discuss, when appropriate, prior Commission matters raising the same issue, relevant court decisions, and any other analysis of the issue that may assist the Commission in its decision making. The Commission will not consider factual disputes under this procedure, and any requests for consideration other than on questions of law on material issues will not be granted. All requests, including any extension requests, must be received by the Commission within 15 business days of the determination of corrective action. All requests must be directed to the attention of the Commission Secretary via email at LegalRequestProgram@ fec.gov.4 Upon receipt of a request, the Commission Secretary shall forward a copy of any request to each Commissioner, the General Counsel, and the Staff Director. Any request for an extension of time to file a RAD Legal Question Resolution Program request will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will only be granted if good cause is shown, and the Commission approves the extension request by four or more affirmative votes within five business days of receipt of the extension request. Within five business days of notification to the Commissioners of a request for consideration of a legal question, if two or more Commissioners agree that the Commission should consider the request, OGC may, at that time, attempt to resolve the matter informally over the course of five business days. Within 15 business days from the date upon which RAD and OGC conclude that the matter cannot be resolved informally, or from the expiration of the five-business day period, whichever occurs first, OGC will prepare and circulate a recommendation in accordance with all applicable Commission Directives. If the matter is resolved informally, RAD and OGC will notify the Commission that the matter has been resolved and notify the 4 Requestors are advised that if they submit a request, electronically or otherwise, to a different address than designated in this Procedure, the processing of the request may be delayed.
