ACTION: Final rule; correction. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or (the Agency) is making four minor corrections to a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on July 26, 2024. The final rule related to regulatory changes to incorporate export manifests and other manifest-related reports (i.e., Discrepancy, Exception, and Unmanifested Waste Reports) into e-Manifest as well as other changes related to manifests, including for polychlorinated biphenyls under the Toxic Substances Control Act. DATES: This final rule is effective on January 22, 2025. ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OLEM–2021–0609.

In addition, please refer to EPA’s e-Manifest web page for further information: www.epa.gov/e-manifest. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action corrects four minor errors to certain regulatory amendments established in the July 26, 2024, final rule (89 FR 60692) for 40 CFR 262.21, 262.42, and 262.83. With respect to the regulatory amendments at § 262.21, the July 26 final rule established revised printing specification requirements at § 262.21(f)(6) and (7) for the new fourcopy paper manifest (EPA Form 8700– 22) and continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700–22A) forms. Section 262.21(f)(6) describes the revised copy distribution requirements to be printed on each copy of the new four-copy manifest (EPAForm 8700–22) and continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700–22A). Section 262.21(f)(7) describes the revised printing specifications for printing the appropriate manifest instructions on the back of the form copies. Although, EPA finalized the manifest forms themselves by revising the wording of the distribution scheme in the bottom right margins of the forms and by moving the instructions on the reverse side of Page 2 (‘‘Designated Facility to Generator’’ copy) to the reverse side of Page 1 (top copy) of the manifest forms, EPA inadvertently did not make these conforming changes in the regulatory text at § 262.21(f)(6) and (7). This includes adding two instances of ‘‘U.S.’’ to the Page 1 (top copy) text and making changes for use of capitalization in Pages 1–4. To correct these errors, this action revises paragraph § 262.21(f)(6) so that the words indicating copy distribution exactly match the words shown at the bottom right margin of each copy of the new four-copy manifest forms. Similarly, and in addition, this action corrects § 262.21(f)(7) to match the language on the new four-copy manifest form—i.e., to require that commercial printers authorized by EPA to produce the manifest forms print the instructions for designated facilities and E:\FR\FM\31OCR1.SGM 31OCR1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2024 / Rules and Regulations hazardous waste exporters on the reverse side of the top copy of the manifest forms instead of the reverse side of Page 2. This includes changing the title of the manifest instructions for the top copy of Manifest Form 8700–22 and 8700–22A from ‘‘Instructions for Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities’’ to ‘‘Instructions for Exporters or Owners and Operators of Receiving Facilities Designated on the Manifest.’’ With respect to the errors in §§ 262.42 and 262.83, this action corrects errors to certain instructions in part 262 which established regulatory revisions and additions, or both, to the hazardous waste exception reporting requirements at § 262.42 and to the requirements for export shipments of hazardous waste at § 262.83. The corrections to §§ 262.42 and 262.83 are necessary to ensure that certain regulatory amendments established in the July 26 final rule under part 262 are codified accurately and correctly in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The EPA is not providing a public comment opportunity prior to promulgation of today’s technical corrections to §§ 262.21(f)(6) and (7), 262.42, and 262.83, nor is the EPA issuing a direct final rulemaking. That is because such public comment is unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The corrections established in this action today are very minor and non-substantive technical corrections to regulations; thus, the corrections would not substantively alter the regulations established in the final rule in a way that would be of interest to the regulated community or the public. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the EPA finds good cause to promulgate these technical corrections without notice and comment because it would be unnecessary. Corrections In FR Doc. 2024–14694 appearing at 89 FR 60692 in the Federal Register of Friday, July 26, 2024, the following corrections are made: § 262.21 [Corrected] 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 21, 2024, HHS published a final rule amending 45 CFR parts 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, and 1305. We incorrectly established the effective date as August 21, 2024. The intention was for the rule to become effective on October 21, 2024. The earliest compliance date was correctly identified as October 21, 2024, in the final rule.

making four minor corrections to a final rule that appeared in the 
Federal Register on July 26, 2024. The final rule related to regulatory 
changes to incorporate export manifests and other manifest-related 
reports (i.e., Discrepancy, Exception, and Unmanifested Waste Reports)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action corrects four minor errors to 
certain regulatory amendments established in the July 26, 2024, final 
rule (89 FR 60692) for 40 CFR 262.21, 262.42, and 262.83.
    With respect to the regulatory amendments at Sec.  262.21, the July 
26 final rule established revised printing specification requirements 
at Sec.  262.21(f)(6) and (7) for the new four-copy paper manifest (EPA 
Form 8700-22) and continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700-22A) forms. Section 
262.21(f)(6) describes the revised copy distribution requirements to be 
printed on each copy of the new four-copy manifest (EPA-Form 8700-22) 
and continuation sheet (EPA Form 8700-22A). Section 262.21(f)(7) 
describes the revised printing specifications for printing the 
appropriate manifest instructions on the back of the form copies. 
Although, EPA finalized the manifest forms themselves by revising the 
wording of the distribution scheme in the bottom right margins of the 
forms and by moving the instructions on the reverse side of Page 2 
(``Designated Facility to Generator'' copy) to the reverse side of Page 
1 (top copy) of the manifest forms, EPA inadvertently did not make 
these conforming changes in the regulatory text at Sec.  262.21(f)(6) 
and (7). This includes adding two instances of ``U.S.'' to the Page 1 
(top copy) text and making changes for use of capitalization in Pages 
1-4. To correct these errors, this action revises paragraph Sec.  
262.21(f)(6) so that the words indicating copy distribution exactly 
match the words shown at the bottom right margin of each copy of the 
new four-copy manifest forms. Similarly, and in addition, this action 
corrects Sec.  262.21(f)(7) to match the language on the new four-copy 
manifest form--i.e., to require that commercial printers authorized by 
EPA to produce the manifest forms print the instructions for designated 
facilities and

[[Page 86759]]

hazardous waste exporters on the reverse side of the top copy of the 
manifest forms instead of the reverse side of Page 2. This includes 
changing the title of the manifest instructions for the top copy of 
Manifest Form 8700-22 and 8700-22A from ``Instructions for Treatment, 
Storage, and Disposal Facilities'' to ``Instructions for Exporters or 
Owners and Operators of Receiving Facilities Designated on the 
Manifest.''
    With respect to the errors in Sec. Sec.  262.42 and 262.83, this 
action corrects errors to certain instructions in part 262 which 
established regulatory revisions and additions, or both, to the 
hazardous waste exception reporting requirements at Sec.  262.42 and to 
the requirements for export shipments of hazardous waste at Sec.  
262.83. The corrections to Sec. Sec.  262.42 and 262.83 are necessary 
to ensure that certain regulatory amendments established in the July 26 
final rule under part 262 are codified accurately and correctly in 
title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The EPA is not providing a public comment opportunity prior to 
promulgation of today's technical corrections to Sec. Sec.  
262.21(f)(6) and (7), 262.42, and 262.83, nor is the EPA issuing a 
direct final rulemaking. That is because such public comment is 
unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure 
Act (APA). The corrections established in this action today are very 
minor and non-substantive technical corrections to regulations; thus, 
the corrections would not substantively alter the regulations 
established in the final rule in a way that would be of interest to the 
regulated community or the public. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the EPA finds good 
cause to promulgate these technical corrections without notice and 
comment because it would be unnecessary.
