Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 178 / Friday, September 17, 2021 / Proposed Rules
Method for Specular Gloss, currently named ASTM Method D52314 2018, updated May 1, 2018.
IV. Summary of Impacts This section presents a summary of the impacts expected as a result of this proposed rule.
A. Environmental Impacts There are no anticipated environmental impacts from compliance with this proposed rule. The proposed revisions are minor and not expected to result in net changes to an aerosol coating products potential to form ozone because the overall average changes to the values used to measure reactivity, i.e., category emission limits and reactivity factors, are small compared to the values in the original rule. The proposed action is, however, expected to improve upon the original rule by ensuring updates are made e.g., adds new compounds, updates reactivity factors, and adds electronic reporting that promote consistency and uniformity between state and national regulations. As such, this proposed action would maintain the level of environmental protection to populations in affected ozone nonattainment areas without having any disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on any populations, including any minority or low-income populations.
B. Energy Impacts There are no adverse energy impacts anticipated from compliance with this proposed rule.
C. Cost and Economic Impacts There are no adverse economic impacts anticipated from compliance with this proposed rule. This action primarily updates reactivity tables and factors and adds electronic reporting provisions.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at https www2.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review This action is not a significant regulatory action and was, therefore, not submitted to OMB for review.

PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection activities contained in the existing regulations and has assigned OMB control number 20600617. There is no increase in burden associated with this action because the rule primarily adds compounds and reactivity factors, updates category limits and reactivity factors, and adds electronic reporting provisions. The burden associated with the proposed change from paper to electronic reporting would not change as a result of this action, at least in the short term, because regulated entities will need time to become familiar with the new reporting scheme and template.
In the long term, the Agency anticipates that electronic reporting, which is more efficient than paper reporting, would reduce the burden as regulated entities become more familiar with the electronic reporting process. The EPA
expects the decrease in burden estimates resulting from electronic reporting would be reflected in future updates to the ICR for this rule.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act RFA
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small entities subject to the rule. This rule will not impose any requirements on small entities. The EPA has determined that small businesses will not incur any adverse impacts because the Agency is taking this action to amend the aerosol coatings rule primarily by updating coating categories in Table 1 and adding compounds to Table 2 of the rule and adding an electronic reporting provision. These amendments do not create any new requirements or burdens, and no costs are associated with these amendments. The Agency has, therefore, concluded that this proposed rule will not pose any additional regulatory burden for all affected small entities.
The EPA continues to be interested in the potential impacts of the proposed rule on small entities and welcome comments on issues related to such impacts.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act UMRA
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C.
15311538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state, local or tribal governments or the private sector.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
F. Executive Order 13175 Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. The proposed regulatory action does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, in that this action imposes no regulatory burdens on tribes. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of covered regulatory action in section 2202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045
because it does not concern increase in an adverse or environmental health risk or safety risk that disproportionately affects children.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act The rule involves technical standards;
however, no new technical standards are being proposed in this action.
