Download as PDF 20472 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 57 / Friday, March 22, 2024 / Notices that are necessary for the equipment installation and relocation, EPA will review each proposal to ensure that such modifications are within the scope of the CE and would not appreciably increase the footprint or height of the existing building or have the potential to cause significant changes to the type and magnitude of environmental impacts. III. Consideration of Extraordinary Circumstances When applying these CEs, EPA will evaluate the proposed action to ensure consideration of the integral elements listed above. In addition, in considering extraordinary circumstances, EPA will consider whether the proposed action has the potential to result in significant effects as described in DOE’s extraordinary circumstances listed at 10 CFR 1021.410(b)(2). DOE defines extraordinary circumstances as unique situations presented by specific proposals, including, but not limited to, scientific controversy about the environmental effects of the proposal; uncertain effects or effects involving unique or unknown risks; and unresolved conflicts concerning alternative uses of available resources. In addition, EPA will consider its list of extraordinary circumstances as described at 40 CFR 6.204(b). ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 IV. Consultation With DOE and Determination of Appropriateness EPA and DOE consulted on the appropriateness of EPA’s adoption of the CEs in December 2023. EPA and DOE’s consultation included a review of DOE’s experience developing and applying the CEs, as well as the types of actions for which EPA plans to utilize the CEs. These EPA actions are very similar to the type of projects for which DOE has applied the CEs and therefore the effects of EPA projects will be very similar to the effects of DOE projects, which are not significant, absent extraordinary circumstances. Therefore, EPA has determined that its proposed use of the CE for the Drop-off, Collection, and Transfer Facilities for Recyclable Materials and the CE for Installation or Relocation of Machinery and Equipment as described in this notice are appropriate. V. Notice to the Public and Documentation of Adoption This notice serves to identify to the public and document EPA’s adoption of DOE’s CEs for B1.35 Drop-off, Collection, and Transfer Facilities for Recyclable Materials and for B1.31 Installation or Relocation of Machinery and Equipment. This notice identifies VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:15 Mar 21, 2024 Jkt 262001 the types of actions to which EPA will apply the CEs, as well as the considerations that EPA will use in determining whether an action is within the scope of the CEs. Dated: March 18, 2024. Elizabeth Shaw, Director, Resource Conservation and Sustainability Division, Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, Office of Land and Emergency Management.
