Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 15, 2023 / Rules and Regulations comment are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.7 Pursuant to this final rule, in Regulation V, Appendix O is amended to update the maximum allowable charge for 2024 under section 612(f). The amendments in this final rule are technical and non-discretionary, as they merely apply the method previously established in Regulation V for determining adjustments to the thresholds. For these reasons, the CFPB has determined that publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking and providing opportunity for public comment are unnecessary. The amendments therefore are adopted in final form. C. Paperwork Reduction Act The information collections contained in Regulation V, which implements the FCRA, are approved by the Office of Management and Budget under Control number 3170–0002. The current approval for this control number expires on October 31, 2025. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,9 the CFPB reviewed this final rule. The CFPB has determined that this rule does not create any new information collections or substantially revise any existing collections. D. Congressional Review Act Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the CFPB will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to the rule taking effect. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has designated this rule as not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). List of Subjects in 12 CFR Part 1022 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the CFPB amends Regulation V, 12 CFR part 1022, as set forth below: 22 CFR Part 171 PART 1022—FAIR CREDIT REPORTING (REGULATION V) 1. The authority citation for part 1022 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 12 U.S.C. 5512, 5581; 15 U.S.C. 1681a, 1681b, 1681c, 1681c–1, 1681e, 1681g, 1681i, 1681j, 1681m, 1681s, 1681s–2, 1681s– 3, and 1681t; Sec. 214, Pub. L. 108–159, 117 Stat. 1952. 2. Appendix O is revised to read as follows: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) does not apply to a rulemaking where a general notice of proposed rulemaking is not required.8 As noted previously, the CFPB has determined that it is unnecessary to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking for this final rule. Accordingly, the RFA’s requirement relating to an initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis does not apply. Banks, banking, Consumer protection, Credit unions, Holding companies, National banks, Privacy, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Savings associations. Appendix O to Part 1022—Reasonable Charges for Certain Disclosures Section 612(f) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681j(f), directs the Bureau to increase the maximum allowable charge a consumer reporting agency may impose for making a disclosure to the consumer pursuant to section 609 of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681g, on January 1 of each year, based proportionally on changes in the Consumer Price Index, with fractional changes rounded to the nearest fifty cents. The Bureau will publish notice of the maximum allowable charge each year by amending this appendix. For calendar year 2024, the maximum allowable charge is $15.50. For historical purposes: 1. For calendar year 2012, the maximum allowable disclosure charge was $11.50. 2. For calendar year 2013, the maximum allowable disclosure charge was $11.50. 3.

ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the materials that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s (Commonwealth’s) State Implementation Plan (SIP). The regulations affected by this update have been previously submitted by the Commonwealth and approved by EPA. In this notice, EPA is also notifying the public of corrections and clarifying changes to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) tables that identify material incorporated by reference into the Commonwealth’s SIP.

Background Each State has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring networks, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms. Each State must formally adopt the control measures and strategies in the SIP after the public has had an opportunity to comment on them and then submit the proposed SIP revisions to EPA. Once these control measures and strategies are approved by EPA, and after notice and comment, they are incorporated into the federallyapproved SIP and are identified in part 52—‘‘Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans,’’ Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR part 52). The full text of the State regulation approved by EPA is not reproduced in its entirety in 40 CFR part 52 but is ‘‘incorporated by reference.’’ This means that EPA has approved a given State regulation or specified changes to a given regulation with a specific effective date. The public is referred to the location of the full text version should they want to know which measures are contained in the SIP. The information provided allows EPA and the public to monitor the extent to which a State implements a SIP to attain and maintain the NAAQS and to take enforcement action for violations of the SIP. The SIP is a living document which the State can revise as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the State. Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on proposed revisions containing new or revised regulations. A submission from a State can revise one or more rules in their entirety or portions of rules. The State indicates the changes in the submission (such as by using redline/ strikethrough text), and EPA then takes E:\FR\FM\15NOR1.SGM 15NOR1
