SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What action is EPA proposing to
take?
EPA is finalizing the approval of
changes to North Carolina’s SIP that
were provided to EPA through NCDAQ
via a letter dated April 13, 2021.1
Specifically, EPA is approving changes
to 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) Subchapter 02D, Section
.0900, Volatile Organic Compounds
(hereinafter referred to as Section
.0900).2 The April 13, 2021, revision to
the North Carolina SIP transmits a few
substantive changes and a number of
changes that do not alter the meaning of
the regulations, such as clarifying
changes, updated cross-references, and
several ministerial language changes. In
addition, other changes include adding,
deleting, and editing definitions and
adding SIP-strengthening language.
North Carolina’s Section .0900 rules
regulate sources that emit greater than
or equal to 15 pounds of VOC per day,
unless otherwise specified in Section
.0900. Most of the SIP changes to
Section .0900 are ministerial and
formatting changes, with clarifying
1 EPA notes that the submittal was received
through the State Planning Electronic Collaboration
System (SPeCS) on April 14, 2021. For clarity, this
notice will refer to the submittal by the date on the
cover letter, which is April 13, 2021.
2 EPA notes that the Agency received several
submittals revising the North Carolina SIP that were
transmitted with the same April 13, 2021, cover
letter. EPA has considered and will be considering
action for these other SIP revisions in separate
rulemakings.

These regulations were state effective on
November 1, 2020. EPA has made, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
will continue to make, these materials
generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 4 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been
approved by EPA for inclusion in the
SIP, have been incorporated by
reference by EPA into that plan, are
fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of
the effective date of the final rulemaking
of EPA’s approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.4
III. Final Action
EPA is finalizing the approval of the
April 13, 2021, SIP revision to
incorporate various changes to North
Carolina’s VOC air provisions into the
SIP. Specifically, EPA is approving
various ministerial and minor changes
to language and other clarifying changes
throughout North Carolina’s rules in
02D Section .0900, Volatile Organic
Compounds. EPA is approving these
changes because they are consistent
with the CAA.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.
See 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. 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 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 14094 (88 FR
21879, April 11, 2023);
• 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
4 See
PO 00000
62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
because it approves a state program;
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001); and
• 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.
In addition, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
or in any other area where EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal
agencies to identify and address
‘‘disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects’’
of their actions on minority populations
and low-income populations to the
greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law. EPA defines
environmental justice (EJ) as ‘‘the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect
to the development, implementation,
and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies.’’ EPA further
defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ‘‘no group of people should bear a
disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks,
including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of
industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and
policies.’’
NCDAQ did not evaluate EJ
considerations as part of its SIP
submittal; the CAA and applicable
implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require such an evaluation.
EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and
did not consider EJ in this action. Due
to the nature of the action being taken
here, this action is expected to have a
neutral to positive impact on the air
quality of the affected area.
Consideration of EJ is not required as
E:\FR\FM\04AUR1.SGM
04AUR1
51715
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 149 / Friday, August 4, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
part of this action, and there is no
information in the record inconsistent
with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of
achieving EJ for people of color, lowincome populations, and Indigenous
peoples.
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and EPA will
submit a rule report to each House of
the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. This action
is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by October 3, 2023. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section
307(b)(2).

Pre-enforcement Notice and

Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs, Labor.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of Labor
publishes this final rule to modify
procedures and standards the Office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs
(‘‘OFCCP’’ or ‘‘the agency’’) uses when
issuing pre-enforcement notices and
securing compliance through
conciliation. This final rule strengthens
OFCCP’s enforcement by rescinding the
evidentiary standards and definitions
codified in 2020 (‘‘the 2020 rule’’),
which hindered the agency’s ability to
pursue meritorious cases. OFCCP is
instituting a streamlined, effective, and
flexible pre-enforcement and
conciliation process that promotes
greater consistency with Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (‘‘Title VII’’).
DATES: These regulations are effective
September 5, 2023.

SUMMARY:
TKELLEY on DSK125TN23PROD with RULES1
I. Legal Authority
OFCCP administers and enforces
Executive Order 11246, as amended
(‘‘E.O. 11246’’); Section 503 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
29 U.S.C. 793 (‘‘Section 503’’); and the
Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 38
U.S.C. 4212 (‘‘VEVRAA’’), as well as
their implementing regulations. Issued
in 1965, and amended several times in
the intervening years, E.O. 11246 has
two principal purposes. First, it
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:58 Aug 03, 2023
Jkt 259001
prohibits covered Federal contractors
and subcontractors 1 from
discriminating against employees and
applicants because of race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, or because they
inquire about, discuss, or disclose their
compensation or that of others, subject
to certain limitations.2 Second, it
requires covered contractors to take
affirmative action to ensure equal
employment opportunity.
The requirements in E.O. 11246
generally apply to any business or
organization that (1) holds a single
Federal contract, subcontract, or
federally assisted construction contract
in excess of $10,000; (2) has Federal
contracts or subcontracts that, when
combined, total in excess of $10,000 in
any 12-month period; or (3) holds
Government bills of lading, serves as a
depository of Federal funds, or is an
issuing and paying agency for U.S.
savings bonds and notes in any amount.
Supply and service contractors with 50
or more employees and a single Federal
contract or subcontract of $50,000 or
more also must develop and maintain
an affirmative action program that
complies with 41 CFR part 60–2.
Construction contractors have different
affirmative action requirements under
E.O. 11246, codified at 41 CFR part 60–
4.
Enacted in 1973 and amended since,
the purpose of Section 503 is twofold.
First, Section 503 prohibits employment
discrimination on the basis of disability
by Federal contractors. Second, it
requires each covered Federal contractor
to take affirmative action to employ and
advance in employment qualified
individuals with disabilities. The
requirements in Section 503 generally
apply to any business or organization
that holds a single Federal contract or
subcontract in excess of $15,000.3
1 Hereinafter, the terms ‘‘contractor’’ or ‘‘Federal
contractor’’ are used to refer collectively to Federal
contractors and subcontractors that fall under
OFCCP’s authority, unless otherwise expressly
stated. This approach is consistent with OFCCP’s
regulations, which define ‘‘contract’’ to include
subcontracts and ‘‘contractor’’ to include
subcontractors.
2 The nondiscrimination protections and
standards under E.O. 11246 are interpreted
consistently with those under Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (‘‘Title VII’’). See OFCCP v.
Greenwood Mills, Inc., Nos. 00–044, 01–089, 2002
WL 31932547, at *4 (ARB Final Decision & Order
Dec. 20, 2002) (‘‘The legal standards developed
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 apply
to cases brought under [E.O. 11246].’’).
3 Effective October 1, 2010, the coverage
threshold under Section 503 increased from
$10,000 to $15,000, in accordance with the
inflationary adjustment requirements in 41 U.S.C.
1908. See Federal Acquisition Regulation; Inflation
Adjustment of Acquisition-Related Thresholds, 75
FR 53129 (Aug. 30, 2010).

Pursuant to Section 503, contractors
with 50 or more employees and a single
Federal contract or subcontract of
$50,000 or more also must develop and
maintain an affirmative action program
that complies with 41 CFR part 60–741,
subpart C.
Enacted in 1974 and amended in the
intervening years, VEVRAA prohibits
Federal contractors from discriminating
against employees and applicants
because of their status as protected
veterans (defined by the statute to
include disabled veterans, recently
separated veterans, Armed Forces
Service Medal Veterans, and active duty
wartime or campaign badge veterans). It
also requires each covered contractor to
take affirmative action to employ and
advance in employment these veterans.
The requirements in VEVRAA generally
apply to any business or organization
that holds a single Federal contract or
subcontract in excess of $150,000.4
Pursuant to VEVRAA, contractors with
50 or more employees and a single
Federal contract or subcontract of
$150,000 or more also must develop and
maintain an affirmative action program
that complies with 41 CFR part 60–300,
subpart C.
Pursuant to these authorities,
receiving a Federal contract comes with
a number of responsibilities. Contractors
are required to comply with all
provisions of these authorities as well as
the rules, regulations, and relevant
orders of the Secretary of Labor. Where
OFCCP finds noncompliance under any
of the three authorities or their
implementing regulations, it utilizes
established procedures to either
facilitate resolution or proceed to
administrative enforcement as necessary
to secure compliance. A contractor
found in violation that fails to correct
violations of OFCCP’s regulations may,
after the opportunity for a hearing, have
its contracts canceled, terminated, or
suspended and/or may be subject to
debarment.
II. Summary of Relevant Background
This final rule, like the 2020 rule it
modifies, focuses almost entirely on
OFCCP’s pre-enforcement resolution
procedures. This includes the processes
by which the agency notifies Federal
contractors of the agency’s findings
during the compliance evaluations it
conducts, and how the agency seeks to
conciliate matters in which it finds a
4 Effective October 1, 2015, the coverage
threshold under VEVRAA increased from $100,000
to $150,000, in accordance with the inflationary
adjustment requirements in 41 U.S.C. 1908. See

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What action is EPA proposing to take?
EPA is finalizing the approval of changes to North Carolina's SIP
that were provided to EPA through NCDAQ via a letter dated April 13,
2021.\1\ Specifically, EPA is approving changes to 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 02D, Section .0900, Volatile
Organic Compounds (hereinafter referred to as Section .0900).\2\ The
April 13, 2021, revision to the North Carolina SIP transmits a few
substantive changes and a number of changes that do not alter the
meaning of the regulations, such as clarifying changes, updated cross-
references, and several ministerial language changes. In addition,
other changes include adding, deleting, and editing definitions and
adding SIP-strengthening language.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ EPA notes that the submittal was received through the State
Planning Electronic Collaboration System (SPeCS) on April 14, 2021.

Through a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), published on June
13, 2023, EPA proposed to approve North Carolina's April 13, 2021,
submission. The proposed changes included various ministerial and minor
changes to language and other clarifying changes throughout North
Carolina's
[[Page 51714]]
rules in 02D Section .0900, Volatile Organic Compounds. The details of
North Carolina's submission, as well as EPA's rationale for approving
the changes, are described in more detail in the June 13, 2023, NPRM.
See 88 FR 38441. Comments on the June 13, 2023, NPRM were due on or
before July 13, 2023. No comments were received on the June 13, 2023,
NPRM.
II. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, and as discussed in Section I of this preamble, EPA is
finalizing the incorporation by reference 15A NCAC Subchapter 02D Rules
.0901, Definitions; .0902, Applicability, with the exception of
paragraph .0902(d)(2) and the reference in paragraph .0902(c) to

These regulations were state effective on November 1, 2020. EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available
through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please
contact the person identified in the For Further Information Contact
section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these
materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been
incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally
enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective
date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Final Action
EPA is finalizing the approval of the April 13, 2021, SIP revision
to incorporate various changes to North Carolina's VOC air provisions
into the SIP. Specifically, EPA is approving various ministerial and
minor changes to language and other clarifying changes throughout North
Carolina's rules in 02D Section .0900, Volatile Organic Compounds. EPA
is approving these changes because they are consistent with the CAA.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 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. 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 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
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 subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
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.
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
NCDAQ did not evaluate EJ considerations as part of its SIP
submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require such an evaluation. EPA did not perform an EJ
analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Due to the nature of
the action being taken here, this action is expected to have a neutral
to positive impact on the air quality of the affected area.
Consideration of EJ is not required as
[[Page 51715]]
part of this action, and there is no information in the record
inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of achieving EJ for
people of color, low-income populations, and Indigenous peoples.
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by October 3, 2023. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
