Environmental Protection Agency September 7, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (EPA ICR Number 1054.14, OMB Control Number 2060-0022), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through December 31, 2021. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on February 8, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), Office of Technology Solutions, is giving notice that it proposes to modify a system of records pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. EPA is making updates to its system of records, PeoplePlus, EPA-1 and is modifying this system of records notice to reflect those updates. EPA's Office of Human Resources (OHR) previously used the EPA-1 PeoplePlus system to administer several human resources functions, including time and attendance, payroll, workforce transformation, and entrance on duty system. The PeoplePlus system will now only be used for time and attendance, and EPA's OCFO will now manage the system.

EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register of April 2, 2021, concerning the cancellations and amendments to terminate uses voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency. This document is being issued to correct the cancellation order in Table 1 of Unit I, by removing the registration number 66570-2 and Table 3 of Unit I, by removing EPA company number 66570, as these entries were made in error.

This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of the products listed in Table 1 of Unit II, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This cancellation order follows a February 17, 2021 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 of Unit II to voluntarily cancel these product registrations. In the February 17, 2021 notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 180-day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency did not receive any comments on the notice. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions.
