Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 114 / Wednesday, June 16, 2021 / Rules and Regulations action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because the delays of the effective and compliances dates, until December 16, 2021 and October 16, 2024, respectively, do not have a significant economic impact.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not a significant energy action because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution or use of energy.
EPA has concluded that the delay of the effective and compliance dates of the LCRR, which were published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2021, until December 16, 2021 and October 16, 2024, respectively, is not likely to have adverse energy effects. This conclusion is based on the fact that delaying the regulatory requirements of the LCRR will reduce near term demand for energy commodities that would be required to install and operate corrosion control equipment, remove LSLs, or produce and deliver public education materials.

PART 141NATIONAL PRIMARY
DRINKING WATER REGULATIONS

a
1 All water systems must develop an initial inventory by October 16, 2024, and submit it to the primacy agency in accordance with 141.90e.

b Lead service line replacement plan. All water systems with one or more lead, galvanized requiring replacement, or lead status unknown service lines in their distribution system must, by October 16, 2024, submit a lead service line replacement plan to the State in accordance with 141.90e.

4. Amend 141.86 by revising paragraphs d1i and d1ii introductory text to read as follows:

1. The authority citation for part 141
continues to read as follows:

141.86 Monitoring requirements for lead and copper in tap water.

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 300f, 300g1, 300g2, 300g3, 300g4, 300g5, 300g6, 300j4, 300j9, and 300j11.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 141
Environmental protection, Copper, Drinking water, Indianslands, Intergovernmental relations, Lead, Lead service line, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Water supply.
Michael S. Regan, Administrator.

For the reasons stated in the preamble, the Environmental Protection Agency amends 40 CFR part 141 as follows:

2. Amend 141.80 by revising paragraphs a2 through 4 to read as follows:

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations EPA believes that it is not feasible to determine whether this action has disproportionately high and adverse effects on minority populations, lowincome populations and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994.
The purpose of this rule is to extend effective date of the LCRR to December 16, 2021, to allow EPA to conduct a review of the LCRR, under Executive Order 13990, and consult with stakeholders, including those who have been historically underserved by, or subject to discrimination in, Federal policies and programs prior to the LCRR
going into effect. Because EPA is still in the collection process of potentially significant environmental justice information on the distributional impacts of drinking water lead-related regulatory requirements, it is not feasible to determine with certainty the impact of the delay of the effective and compliance dates of the LCRR.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 also known as the Congressional Review Act or CRA, and EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has determined that this action is not a major rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 8042.
