Register citation.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Apply to?

    Affected entities: Companies that voluntarily submit product
information to EPA's CPG Product Supplier Directory.
    Title: Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines Supplier Directory
Information Form.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2305.01, OMB Control No. 2050-NEW.
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR Part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9.
    Abstract: The Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) program is
authorized by Congress under Section 6002 of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA is required to designate products that are
or can be made with recovered materials, and to recommend practices for
buying these products.
    As part of the program, EPA has developed the CPG Product Supplier
Directory to support government agencies in meeting their
responsibilities. The CPG Product Supplier Directory allows users to
search for companies of a specific CPG product, product category, or
type of material. In addition, users can search directly for a specific
company by typing all or part of the company's name in a search field.
All companies identified in the CPG Product Supplier Directory have
self-selected to be included and volunteered product specification
information. All information in the Directory is available to the
public.
    EPA would like to update the CPG Product Supplier Directory through
voluntary information collections, as follows:
     EPA has created a Supplier Directory Information Form to
enable companies to submit information to the CPG Product Supplier
Directory about their company and products. The form would be available
on-line so that companies can submit this information at any time.
     EPA intends to send a letter to the companies in the CPG
Product Supplier Directory every two years, asking them to update their
entries in the Directory as needed. Companies would review their
entries and send updates to EPA by e-mail. EPA would then reflect the
updates in the Directory as appropriate.
    Burden Statement: The average annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for EPA's proposed collections is estimated to be
about 30 minutes per response. All responses are voluntary. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information, adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements
which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond
to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    The ICR will provide a detailed explanation of the Agency's
estimate, which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated average annual number of respondents: 641.
    Average frequency of response: Once every two years.
    Estimated total average annual respondent burden hours: 458 hours.
    Estimated total average annual costs: $31,239. This includes an
estimated labor cost of $31,239 and $0 for capital investment,
maintenance, and operational costs.

What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

MEMORANDUM

FROM:	Akachi Imegwu, U.S. EPA, Climate Change Division

TO:	Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0147

DATE:		 August 3, 2012

SUBJECT:	Summary of comments on Subpart W of the final Mandatory
            Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule (40 CFR Part 98) after promulgation that are addressed in the final rule action: 2012 Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, and Confidentiality Determinations for Certain Data Elements of the Fluorinated Gas Source Category
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.0	INTRODUCTION

      The 2010 final rule for Subpart W of the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule (Subpart W) was signed by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on November 8, 2010 and published in the Federal Register on November 30, 2010 (75 FR 74458).  The 2010 final rule, which became effective on December 31, 2010, included reporting of GHGs from facilities containing petroleum and natural gas systems.  The rule does not require control of GHGs, rather it only requires that facilities containing petroleum and natural gas systems with emissions sources above certain threshold levels monitor and report emissions and other related data.
      Since promulgation of the final rule in November 2010, EPA proposed the "Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments to Certain Provisions of the Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule" on August 4, 2011 (76 FR 47392) and the "Technical Revisions and Clarifications to Subpart A, Subpart I, and Subpart W" on September 9, 2011 (76 FR 56010).  Stakeholders were given the opportunity to comment on these proposed rules. As a result of those comments, EPA made technical and editorial revisions to specific provisions in Subpart W that were finalized on December 23, 2011 (76 FR 80554).  In addition, the Administrator has identified within Subpart W a number of technical issues that need to be revised and specific provisions that need to be clarified.
      The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize specific comments received from hotline questions or meetings with affected industry members, and outline the issues being addressed by these final amendments.

2.0	SUMMARY OF COMMENTS ADDRESSED BY FINAL AMENDMENTS

      EPA received questions related to implementation of the December 23, 2011 final rule through the EPA Hotline and through meetings with affected industry members.   Several questions have resulted in amendments to specific provisions in Subpart W in order to provide more clarity and to correct errors. The EPA has also held meetings with several trade associations representing industries affected by Part 98, and many questions were presented by those trade associations that would be resolved through the amendments to Subpart W.
       For a summary of the submitted comments which are being addressed by technical revisions to Subpart W, please see the following table, "Summary of Comments Being Resolved By Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments."  All identifying information from the incoming questions has been removed from the table.

                                Technical Issue
                          Questions Submitted to EPA
                   Type and approximate number of submittals
                                  Reference
   1.    Amend Equation W-6 in 98.233(e)(5) by removing a factor of 1000 to leave the calculated emissions in cubic feet rather than convert it to Mcf
Question:  This question relates to Subpart W, equation W-6 for desiccant dehydrators.

Based on the units of the equation variables, the resulting units for the equation should be Mcf/year (thousand cubic feet per year).

However, the rule states that the resulting units are "Es,n = Annual natural gas emissions at standard conditions in cubic feet." I.e., cf/year (cubic feet per year).

Please address this error.

   2.    Amend 98.233(g)(1) to voluntarily allow reporters to take more than the prescribed number of sample measurements per sub-basin and well type by inserting the phrase "at least" in the rule text.
Question:  98.233(g)(1) prescribes a graduated number of measurements or calculations per sub-basin and well type (horizontal or vertical) depending on the total number of completions or workovers - with the maximum required measurements or calculations prescribed as 5. Would it be acceptable for a company to record the data necessary for the calculations or take a measurement for each completion/workover within a given sub-basin well type combination (e.g. have greater than 5 measurements or calculations). [which would result in more accurate reporting of emissions] If so, would the data from each event be used in the emissions estimation or would the company be required to select only the specified number of values for emission estimation purposes?

Helpdesk submission
   3.    Revise Equation W-15 to clarify that "Count" refers to those separators or wells that feed oil directly to storage tanks.
Question:  Equation W-15. This equation does not differentiate between high pressure and low pressure separators and whether or not a separator feeds directly to a storage tank or to an additional separator. Do you need to count all separators or only those that feed liquids to a tank at atmospheric pressure (where gas can flash)?
It seems that Equation W-15 would be more accurate if the definition of 'Count' were changed to 'Total number of separators dumping liquids to storage tanks and wells with throughput less than 10 barrels per day.' This would prevent over-counting of emissions that do not flash from separators feeding to other separators.

Helpdesk submission
   4.    Revise Equation W-36 to revise the definition of parameter "ρi" to amend the density value of CH4 to be 0.0192 kg/ft[3]
There appears to be an error in the CH4 density defined for Equation W-36 in 40 CFR 98 Subpart W of the 12/2/11 pre-publication version of the final rule. I think it should be 0.0191 kg CH4/ft^3 at 60°F and 14.7 psia, while the 12/2/11 version of the rule shows 0.0422 kg CH4/ft^3 at 60°F and 14.7 psia. It appears that EPA forgot to convert the density from units of lb/ft^3 to kg/ft^3. Using the incorrect value in the rule misestimates CH4 emissions by 2.2 times too high. Do you plan to correct this in the rule? If so, when will you do that? If not, may I use the correct CH4 density at 60°F and 14.7 psia (0.0191 kg CH4/ft^3) instead of the value of 0.0422 kg CH4/ft^3 at 60°F and 14.7 psia that is in the 12/2/11 version of the rule? For background, my CH4, CO2, and N2O density calculations are provided below. Thanks for your help.
Ideal gas law: PV = nRT, or PV = (m/MWT) RT
For CH4:
(14.7 psia) x (V ft^3) = (m lb/16 lb/lbmole) x (10.73 psia-ft^3/lbmole-°R) x (60°F+459.67°R)
m/v = CH4 density = 0.0422 lb/ft^3 = 0.0191 kg/ft^3 (compared to 0.0422 kg/ft^3 in Equation W-36 of the 12/2/11 pre-publication version of Subpart W)
For CO2 and N2O:
(14.7 psia) x (V ft^3) = (m lb/44 lb/lbmole) x (10.73 psia-ft^3/lbmole-°R) x (60°F+459.67°R)
m/v = CO2, N2O density = 0.1160 lb/ft^3 = 0.0526 kg/ft^3 (compared to 0.0526 kg/ft^3 in Equation W-36 of the 12/2/11 pre-publication version of Subpart W)

   5.    Revise Equation W-39A to replace the parameter "ECO2" with "Ea,CO2".
Question:  [The questioner] was reviewing the GHG reporting rules (40 CFR Part 98), and found a few minor errors.
§98.233(z)(2)(iii) definitions for Eq. W-39A and W-39B:
 change "ECO2" to "Ea,CO2" {variable in equation and definition should match}.

   6.    Revise 98.236(c)(9) by removing the text, "using optical gas imaging instrument per 98.234(a)(refer to §98.233(k)), or acoustic leak detections of"
Question: The rule is not clear with respect to 98.234(a)(5) - Does an acoustic leak detection device have to be used to detect through-valve leakage or are any of the options in 98.234(a)(1-5) acceptable for making such determinations?

Response: Acoustic leak detection devices can specifically be used for through-valve leakage. However, as per the opening paragraph in 98.234(a), any methods listed under 98.234(a) can be used to determine through-valve leakages.
At least 1 individual
Helpdesk submission
   7.    Revise 98.236.c15(ii)(A), by removing (a)(8) from the list of source categories
Question:  In 98.236.c15.ii.A, EPA added (a)(8) to the list of source categories but did not add the corresponding Table W-7 with distribution emission factors. Why did EPA add distribution to the list and not add the table? NMGC asked this question in October 24, 2011 comments but we do not see a response to this comment in the response to comments.

Response:  EPA agrees that 98.236 (c)(15)(ii)(A) should be updated to reflect the correct citations.  EPA has updated the citation and removed the reference to the natural gas distribution table, W-7, and industry segment definition (a)(8).
At least 1 individual
Helpdesk submission
   8.    Update Table W-1A to reflect updates to Population Emission Factors
Question:  I am writing to request confirmation of the emission factors published in the "Federal Register /Vol. 76, No. 247 / Friday, December 23, 2011 /Rules and Regulations, TABLE A-1A OF SUBPART W-DEFAULT WHOLE GAS EMISSION FACTORS FOR ONSHORE PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION, pages 80591 and 80592.

Specifically, the emission factors published in the table for "Eastern US - Population Emission Factors, All Components - Gas Service" and "Western US - Population Emission Factors, All Components - Gas Service" for valves, connectors, open-ended lines, and pressure relief valves, have increased by almost 24 times the emission factors published in the previous versions of the rule ("Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 30, 2010, page 74512"). For example:

TABLE A-1A OF SUBPART W-DEFAULT WHOLE GAS EMISSION FACTORS FOR ONSHORE PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION - Western US (scf/hour/component)
Valves:
Federal Register, November 30th, 2010 - 0.123 scf/hr/component
Federal Register, December 23rd, 2011- 2.90 scf/hr/component
Connector:
Federal Register, November 30th, 2010 - 0.017 scf/hr/component
Federal Register, December 23rd, 2011- 0.396 scf/hr/component
Open-ended line:
Federal Register, November 30th, 2010 - 0.032 scf/hr/component
Federal Register, December 23rd, 2011- 0.748 scf/hr/component

Please provide a basis or explanation for this large increase in the emission factor. I was not able to locate an explanation for this change in the Technical Support Documentation or Response to Comments

Response: Thank you for pointing out the issue with the emission factors listed in Table W-1A.

3.0	SUMMARY OF ISSUES FROM INTERNAL REVIEW LINKED TO FINAL AMENDMENTS

As mentioned above, not all of the corrections and other amendments correspond directly to questions that were raised by reporters.  The need for some corrections and other amendments were identified as a result of internal EPA review.  The following is a list of the issues being raised from EPA's  review of Subpart W of Part 98. These issues are listed in the final rule " 2012 Technical Corrections, Clarifying and Other Amendments to the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, and Confidentiality Determinations for Certain Data Elements of the Fluorinated Gas Source Category."

Summary of Issues from Internal Review Being Addressed by Final Amendments

Not all corrections and other amendments correspond directly to questions that were raised by reporters.  The need for some corrections and other amendments were identified as a result of internal EPA review.  Below is a summary of the issues that have been raised from the EPA's review of Subpart W of Part 98.

Changes to 98.233
   * Amend Equation W-7 by changing the parameter FRp to FR and clarifying that Tp is cumulative amount of time in hours for venting.
   * Amend Equation W-8 by revising the definition of parameter SPp to clarify that it is a ratio of casing to tubing pressure.
   * Amend Equation W-9 by clarifying calculation methodology 3 applies to well venting not "each" well revising the definition of parameter W to clarify that it is the number of wells with plunger lift assist.
   * Amend Equations W-8 and W-9 by replacing the subscript "q" with "p" in SFR to match the definition of SFRp and clarifying terms Vp and HRp,q are to be monitored per unloading event.
   * Clarify that appropriate volumetric parameters in Equation W-10A, namely FRMs, PRs,p, EnFs,p, and SGs,p, are at standard conditions by adding the subscript s.
   * Clarify that Equation W-10B parameter FVs,p and EnFs,p are at standard conditions by adding the subscript s.
   * Amend section 98.233 (f) by changing the word "backflow" with "flowback".
   * Amend 98.233(f)(1) to voluntarily allow for reporters to take more than prescribed number of samples by inserting the phrase "at least" in the rule text.
   * Amend Equation W-11A and W-11B to insert the word "actual" in the definition of FR and add subscript "a".  Clarify the definition of "A" to state "Cross sectional open area of the restriction orifice (m[2])".

Products Development (OPD) grant program. The goal of FDA's OPD grant
program is to support the clinical development of products for use in
rare diseases or conditions where no current therapy exists or where
the proposed product will be superior to the existing therapy. FDA
provides grants for clinical studies on safety and/or effectiveness
that will either result in, or substantially contribute to, market
approval of these products. Applicants must include in the
application's Background and Significance section documentation to
support the estimated prevalence of the orphan disease or condition (or
in the case of a vaccine or diagnostic, information to support the
estimates of how many people will be administered the diagnostic or
vaccine annually) and an explanation of how the proposed study will
either help support product approval or provide essential data needed
for product development.

DATES: Important dates are as follows:
    1. The application due dates are February 2, 2011; February 1,
2012. The resubmission due dates are October 14, 2011; October 15,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Funding Opportunity Description

RFA-FD-11-001
93.103

A. Background

    The OPD was created to identify and promote the development of
orphan products. Orphan products are drugs, biologics, medical devices,
and medical foods that are indicated for a rare disease or condition
(that is, one with prevalence, not incidence, of fewer than 200,000
people in the United States). Diagnostics and vaccines will qualify for
orphan status only if the U.S. population to whom they will be
administered is fewer than 200,000 people per year.

B. Research Objectives

    The goal of FDA's OPD grant program is to support the clinical
development of products for use in rare diseases or conditions where no
current therapy exists or where the proposed product will be superior
to the existing therapy. FDA provides grants for clinical studies on
safety and/or effectiveness that will either result in, or
substantially contribute to, market approval of these

products. Applicants must include in the application's Background and
Significance section documentation to support the estimated prevalence
of the orphan disease or condition (or in the case of a vaccine or
diagnostic, information to support the estimates of how many people
will be administered the diagnostic or vaccine annually) and an
explanation of how the proposed study will either help support product
approval or provide essential data needed for product development.

C. Eligibility Information

    The grants are available to any foreign or domestic, public or
private, for-profit or nonprofit entity (including State and local
units of government). Federal agencies that are not part of the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may apply. Agencies that
are part of HHS may not apply. For-profit entities must commit to
excluding fees or profit in their request for support to receive grant
awards. Organizations that engage in lobbying activities, as described
in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1968, are not
eligible to receive grant awards.

II. Award Information/Funds Available

A. Award Amount

    Of the estimated fiscal year (FY) 2012 funding ($14.1 million),
approximately $10 million will fund noncompeting continuation awards,
and approximately $4.1 million will fund 5 to 10 new awards, subject to
availability of funds. It is anticipated that funding for the number of
noncompeting continuation awards and new awards in FY 2013 will be
similar to FY 2012. Phase 1 studies are eligible for grants of up to
$200,000 per year for up to 3 years. Phase 2 and 3 studies are eligible
for grants of up to $400,000 per year for up to 4 years. Please note
that the dollar limitation will apply to total costs (direct plus
indirect). Budgets for each year of requested support may not exceed
the $200,000 or $400,000 total cost limit, whichever is applicable.

B. Length of Support

    The length of support will depend on the nature of the study. For
those studies with an expected duration of more than 1 year, a second,
third, or fourth year of noncompetitive continuation of support will
depend on the following factors: (1) Performance during the preceding
year; (2) compliance with regulatory requirements of IND/
investigational device exemption (IDE); and (3) availability of Federal
funds.

III. Electronic Application, Registration, and Submission

    Only electronic applications will be accepted. To submit an
electronic application in response to this FOA, applicants should first

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[Regional Docket No. II-2016-02; FRL-9958-76-Region 2]

Petition for Objection to State Operating Permit; NY; Seneca
Energy II, LLC

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final action.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Clean Air Act (CAA) section 505(b)(2) and Agency
regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator
signed an Order, dated December 9, 2016, denying a petition filed by
the Concerned Citizens of Seneca County, Inc. (September 9, 2013)
asking the EPA to object to the Title V operating permit issued by the
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to Seneca
Energy II, LLC for the Seneca Energy Landfill Gas-to-Energy facility
(Energy Facility) located in Seneca Falls, Seneca County, New York;
(Permit No. 8-4532-00075-00029). Sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the
CAA provide that the petitioner may ask for judicial review by the
United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit of those
portions of the Order that deny objections raised in the petition.

DATES: Any such petition for review of this Order must be received by
July 10, 2017 pursuant to section 307(b) of the CAA.

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of the final Order, the petition, and
other supporting information during normal business hours at EPA Region
2, 290 Broadway, New York, New York. If you wish to examine these
documents, you should make an appointment at least 24 hours before the
visiting day. Additionally, the final Order is available electronically
at: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-12/documents/seneca_meadows_response2013_0.pdf.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Suilin Chan, Chief, Permitting
Section, Air Programs Branch, Clean Air and Sustainability Division,
EPA, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10007,
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA affords the EPA a 45-day period to
review, and object to, as appropriate, a Title V operating permit
proposed by a state permitting authority. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA
authorizes any person to petition the EPA Administrator, within 60 days
after the expiration of this review period, to object to a Title V
operating permit if the EPA has not done so. Petitions must be based
only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable
specificity during the public comment period provided by the state,
unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise
these issues during the comment period or that the grounds for the
objection or other issues arose after this period. The claims are
described in detail in Section IV of the Order. In summary, the issues
raised are that: (1) The Seneca Meadows Landfill and the Energy
Facility together constitute a single major stationary source of
emissions; and (2) the Energy Facility's Title V permit is a ``sham
permit.'' The EPA's rationale for denying the claims raised in the
petition are described in the Order.

    Dated: March 15, 2017.
