SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The construction, operation, maintenance, and connection of facilities at the international border of the United States for the transmission of electric energy between the United States and a foreign country is prohibited in the absence of a Presidential permit issued pursuant to Executive Order ( EO) 10485, as amended by EO 12038. Existing Presidential permits are not transferable or assignable. However, in the event of a proposed voluntary transfer of facilities, in accordance with the regulations at 10 CFR 205.323, the existing permit holder and the transferee are required to file a joint application for transfer of the permit that includes a statement of reasons for the transfer. On October 5, 1988, DOE issued Presidential Permit PP   85 to WRI for a 35,000 volt alternating current transmission line which crosses the U. S. international border from British Columbia, Canada, passes through the State of Alaska, and re enters British Columbia at a second point on the U. S. international border. On November 13, 1989, at the request of WRI, DOE reissued the Presidential permit ( PP   85   A) in the name of Westmin Mines, Inc. On October 22, 2002, WRI and BWCL jointly filed an application to transfer Presidential Permit PP   85   A from WRI 1 to BWCL. BWCL is a Canadian corporation and an indirect, whollyowned subsidiary of Boliden Mineral AB, a Swedish corporation. BWCL, will own and operate the U. S. portion of the transmission facilities. Procedural Matters: Any person desiring to become a party to this proceeding or to be heard by filing comments or protests to this application should file a petition to intervene, comment or protest at the address provided above in accordance with § § 385.211 or 385.214 of the FERC's rules of practice and procedures ( 18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Fifteen copies of each petition and protest should be filed with the DOE on or before the date listed above. Additional copies of such petitions to intervene or protests also should be filed directly with: W. S. Garton AND James Lemoine, Bull, Housser & Tupper, 3000   1055 West George Street, Vancouver, B. C., V6E 3R3, Canada. Before a Presidential permit may be issued or amended, the DOE must determine that the proposed action will not adversely impact on the reliability of the U. S. electric power supply system. In addition, DOE must consider the environmental impacts of the proposed action ( i. e., granting the Presidential permit, with any conditions and limitations, or denying the permit) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. DOE also must obtain the concurrence of the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense before taking final action on a Presidential permit application. Copies of this application will be made available, upon request, for public inspection and copying at the address provided above.

Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are owners of motor vehicles. Title: Investigations into Possible Noncompliance of Motor Vehicles. ( OMB Control Number 2060   0086; EPA ICR Number 0222.06, expiring 31 August 2003.) Abstract: As part of an integrated compliance program, EPA occasionally needs to evaluate the emission performance of in use motor vehicles. In order to perform this function, EPA must solicit certain information from the vehicles owner/ lessee. Participation in the information survey, as well as the vehicle evaluation, is strictly voluntary. Typically, a group of 25 potential participants is identified. They are asked to return a postcard indicating their willingness to participate and if so, to verify some limited vehicle information. They are also asked when it would be suitable to contact them. Those willing to participate are called and asked about a half dozen questions concerning vehicle condition, operation and maintenance. Depending on owner/ lessee response, additional groups of potential participants may be contacted until a sufficient number of vehicles has been obtained. Information collected is used to assure that vehicles procured meet certain criteria. For example, since a manufacturer's responsibility to recall passenger cars is limited to 10 years of age or 100,000 miles of use, vehicles tested to establish potential recall liability must also meet those criteria. Other testing programs and vehicle types have different criteria. All information is publicly available. The previous description generally describes how EPA obtains information on in use passenger cars and light trucks from individual owners and lessees. Heavy duty trucks, those commonly referred to as over `` 3  4 ton'' capacity, are usually employed commercially; typically they are part of a `` fleet'' of identical ( or very similar) vehicles. Consequently, EPA employs a slightly different method to obtain them. Potential owners/ lessees can be found in registrations lists; engine manufacturers will also supply identities of their customers. Occasionally, a fleet operator will contact EPA and volunteer to participate. Once potential sources are identified, EPA will make brief telephone calls to the fleet managers to ascertain if they wish to participate. If the response is positive, EPA will visit the fleet to inspect vehicles and review maintenance records. ( Fleets typically keep very good records on each vehicle; EPA can quickly determine if a particular unit is acceptable.) A single fleet can supply multiple vehicles and, typically, is quite willing to participate. Therefore, EPA makes far fewer inquiries than with individual owners of light vehicles. Based on comments, EPA may decide to address light and heavy duty vehicles separately. EPA uses several techniques in selecting the class or category of motor vehicles to be evaluated. First, if based on other information ( e. g., defect reports, service bulletins) there is a suspicion that a problem exists; EPA may target a particular group. Second, groups with a large number of vehicles have potential for significant air quality effects; they may be selected for that reason. New emission control technology without a proven history is another factor in making selections. Finally, some vehicle classes are selected on a random basis. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. The EPA would like to solicit comments to: ( i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; ( ii) evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; ( iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ( iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e. g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Burden Statement: EPA estimates that approximately 1800 vehicle owners will be contacted, on average they will spend approximately 20 minutes each responding for a total burden of approximately 600 hours. The average reflects those who decline to participate ( who will spend a short time reading the solicitation letter and discard it) as well as those who participate and will be asked a few additional questions about vehicle condition, operation and maintenance. This collection is entirely voluntary, there are no recordkeeping requirements. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 18: 05 Mar 20, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 21MRN1.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for the products listed above. That AD currently requires an inspection
to determine if a certain fuel pump housing electrical connector is
installed. The existing AD also requires a revision to the FAA-approved
airplane flight manual (AFM) to advise the flightcrew of the
appropriate procedures for disabling certain fuel pump electrical
circuits following failure of a fuel pump housing electrical connector
if applicable. The existing AD also requires the deactivation of
certain fuel tanks or fuel pumps and the installation of placards if
applicable. The existing AD allows the optional replacement of the fuel
pump housing electrical connectors with new, improved parts, which
would terminate the AFM revisions, deactivation of certain fuel tanks
and fuel pumps, and placard installation. This new AD instead requires
replacing the fuel pump housing electrical connector assembly with a
new part and doing repetitive inspections for continuity, resistance,
and insulation resistance, and doing corrective actions if necessary.
This AD was prompted by reports of failures of a certain fuel pump
housing electrical connector. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct insulation resistance degradation and arcing in the potted
backside of the electrical connector assembly of the fuel boost/
transfer pump housing, which could compromise its performance and cause
an ignition source in the fuel tank, resulting in a fuel tank explosion
and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 6, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of July 6, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2007-15-05, amendment
39-15134 (72 FR 40216, July 24, 2007). That AD applies to the specified
products. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 5,
2010 (75 FR 68246). That NPRM proposed to require replacing the fuel
pump housing electrical assembly with a new part and doing repetitive
inspections for continuity, resistance, and insulation resistance, and
doing corrective actions, if necessary.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request for Addition of Part Number

    FedEx requested that we add, in the header above the Summary and
paragraphs (c), (e), and (f) of the proposed AD, the part number of the
fuel pump housing electrical connector assembly requiring replacement.
FedEx stated that the change will clarify the AD and avoid unnecessary
work and cost to the operators.
    We partially agree with the commenter. We disagree with adding the
part number of the fuel pump housing electrical connector assembly
requiring replacement to the header information, paragraph (c), and
paragraph (f) of this AD because the affected part could be rotated
onto any of the airplanes listed in the applicability. However, we
agree that clarification of paragraph (h) of this AD (referred to as
paragraph (g) in the NPRM) is needed. In order to comply with this AD,
for all airplanes in the applicability it must be determined if the
fuel pump housing electrical connector assembly having part number (P/
N) 60-84355-1 is installed. We have added paragraph (g) to specify the
inspection to determine the part number. We have also added a reference
of P/N 60-84355-1 to paragraph (h) of this AD for clarification. In
addition, we have added a reference of P/N 60-84355-1 to paragraph (e)
of this AD for clarification.

Clarification of Paragraph (i) of This AD

    We have revised paragraph (i) of this AD by replacing the phrase,
``replacing the fuel pump electrical connector assembly as required by
paragraph (g) of this AD'' with the phrase, ``installing the fuel pump
housing electrical connector assembly having P/N 60-84351, in
accordance with Boeing Alert Service Bulletin DC10-28A261 or Boeing
Alert Service Bulletin MD11-28A143,'' to clarify that P/N 60-84351 must
be repetitively inspected after installation.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the change described previously--and minor editorial changes.
We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 281 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

    (e) This AD results from reports of failures of the fuel pump
housing electrical connector having P/N 60-84355-1. The Federal
Aviation Administration is issuing this AD to detect and correct
insulation resistance degradation and arcing in the potted backside
of the electrical connector assembly of the fuel boost/transfer pump
housing, which could compromise its performance and cause an
ignition source in the fuel tank, resulting in a fuel tank explosion
and consequent loss of the airplane.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Inspection and Change

    (g) For all airplanes: Within 10 months after the effective date
of this AD, do an inspection of the fuel pump housing electrical
connector to determine if part number (P/N) 60-84355-1 is installed.
A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of
this inspection if the part number of the fuel pump housing
electrical connector can be conclusively determined from that
review.
    (h) If, during the inspection required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, any airplane is determined to have fuel pump housing electrical
connector assembly having P/N 60-84355-1: Within 10 months after the
effective

date of this AD, do the actions in paragraph (h)(1) or (h)(2) of
this AD, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin DC10-28A261, dated December 1, 2009;

II. Background and Purpose

    The Coast Guard is conducting a Port Access Route Study (PARS) to
evaluate safe access routes for the movement of vessel traffic
proceeding to or from ports or places along the western seaboard of the
United States and to determine whether Fairways and Traffic Separation
Schemes for vessels and/or International Maritime Organization (IMO)
recommended routes should be established, adjusted and/or modified. The
goal of the Pacific Coast-PARS (PAC-PARS) is to enhance maritime safety
by examining shipping routes and waterway uses, and, to the extent
practicable, reconcile the paramount right of navigation within
designated port access routes with other waterway uses such as the
development of aquaculture farms, offshore renewable energy, commercial
spaceports/re-entry sites, marine sanctuaries, ports supporting Panamax
vessels, potential LNG ports, Pacific Missile Range, and additional
commercial vessel traffic. During the preliminary information-gathering
portion, the areas near Point Mugu and south of the Channel Islands in
the Pacific Missile Range, San Francisco Bay, and both BOEM WEAs were
identified as high-interest zones for traffic congestion and navigation
safety.
    A. Requirements for PARS: Chapter 700, Ports and Waterways Safety,
of Title 46 of the United States Code, specifically 46 U.S.C. 70003
directs the Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard
resides, in order to provide safe access routes for the movement of
vessel traffic proceeding to or from ports or places subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States, to designate necessary fairways and
traffic separation schemes for vessels operating in the territorial sea
of the United States and high seas approaches, outside the territorial
sea, to such ports or places. Such a designation shall recognize,
within the designated area, the paramount right of navigation over all
other uses.
    46 U.S.C. 70003 requires the Secretary to: (1) Undertake a study of
the potential traffic density and the need for safe access routes for
vessels in any area for which fairways or traffic separation schemes
are proposed or that may otherwise be considered and publish notice of
such undertaking in the Federal Register; (2) in consultation with the
Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of
Commerce, the Secretary of the Army, and the Governors of affected
States, as their responsibilities may require, take into account all
other uses of the area under consideration, including, as appropriate,
the exploration for, or exploitation of, oil, gas, or other mineral
resources, the construction or operation of deep-water ports or other
structures on or above the seabed or subsoil of the submerged lands or
the Outer Continental Shelf of the United States, the establishment or
operation of marine or estuarine sanctuaries, and activities involving
recreational or commercial fishing; and (3) to the extent practicable,
reconcile the need for safe access routes with the needs of all other
reasonable uses of the area involved.
    46 U.S.C. 70003 requires the Secretary to proceed expeditiously to
complete any study undertaken; and after completion of such a study, to
promptly issue a notice of proposed rulemaking for the designation
contemplated or publish in the Federal Register a notice of rulemaking
that no designation is contemplated as a result of the study and the
reason for such determination.
    B. Previous Port Access Route Studies: The approaches to San
Francisco, CA, were last studied in 2009, and the final results were
published in the Federal Register on June 20, 2011 (76 FR 35805). The
study was conducted to evaluate the continued applicability and the
potential need for modifications to the vessel routing to help reduce
the risk of marine casualties and increase the efficiency of vessel
traffic in the study area. All USCG publications regarding this study
can be found by searching docket USCG-2009-0576 on https://www.regulations.gov. The Port Access Route Study for the Strait of Juan
de Fuca, Haro Strait, Boundary Pass, Rosario Strait, the Strait of
Georgia, and adjacent waters was completed in November 2000, published
in the Federal Register on January 22, 2001 (66 FR 6514). The study was
conducted to evaluate the need for modifications to current vessel
routing and traffic management measures due to increased maritime
activities. However, there has never been a PARS conducted for the
entire Pacific Coast of the United States designed to analyze all
vessel traffic proceeding to and from all the ports and transiting
through the United States Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
    C. Need for a New Port Access Route Study: Given the current
development of aquaculture farms, offshore renewable energy, commercial
spaceports/re-entry sites, expansion of marine sanctuaries, development
of ports supporting Panamax vessels, potential LNG ports, National
Security Measures, DOD testing and training, and commercial traffic,
the Coast Guard is conducting the PAC-PARS (Washington, Oregon, and
California). This PAC-PARS will focus on the coastwise shipping routes
and near coastal users of the Pacific Ocean between the coastal ports
and the approaches to coastal ports within the EEZ. This PAC-PARS will
help the Coast Guard determine what impact, if any, the siting,
construction, and operation of new developments may have on existing
near coastal users of the Pacific Ocean. To ensure the safety of
navigation, the Coast Guard will determine the impacts of rerouting
traffic, funneling traffic, and placement of structures that may
obstruct navigation. Some of the effects to be considered are increased
vessel traffic density, offshore vessel routing, fixed navigation
obstructions, underwater cable hazards, and economic impacts. Analyzing
the various results will require a thorough understanding of the
interrelationships of shipping, other commercial and recreational uses,
Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) development, and port operations.

III. Information Requested

    Timelines, Study Area, Focus, and Process: Coast Guard Eleventh
District will conduct further analysis in the following areas, which
may take approximately three to six months to complete. The study will
focus on vessel traffic and navigation mitigation

techniques to improve and support safe navigation transits within the
area. It will encompass the areas bound by the aforementioned
coordinates.
    This is a Notification of Inquiry (NOI) to assess the vessel
traffic and routing in the waters indicated by the supplemental PDF,

    We will analyze current and historical vessel traffic, fishing
vessel information, agency and stakeholder experience in vessel traffic
management, navigation, ship handling, and effects of weather. We
encourage you to participate by submitting comments in response to this
proposed rule.
    We will publish the results of the inquiry in the Federal Register
under the same docket USCG-2021-0345. It is possible that the results
may validate existing vessel routing measures and conclude that no
changes are necessary. It is also possible that the study may recommend
one or more changes to enhance navigational safety and the efficiency
of vessel traffic. The recommendations may consider the development of
future rulemakings or appropriate international agreements.
    Possible Scope of the Recommendations: We are attempting to
determine the scope of any safety concerns associated with vessel
transits in the focus areas. The information gathered during the study
should help us identify concerns and mitigating solutions.
Considerations might include: (1) Maintain the current vessel routing
measures; (2) modify the existing traffic separation schemes; (3)
create one or more precautionary areas; (4) create one or more inshore
traffic zones; (5) establish area(s) to be avoided; (6) create deep-
draft routes; (7) establish Regulated Navigation Areas (RNA) with
specific vessel operating requirements to ensure safe navigation near
shallow water; (8) identify any other appropriate ships' routing
measures; (9) use this study for future decisions on routing measures
or other maritime traffic considerations and; (10) use this study to
inform other agencies concerning the impacts of their future endeavors.
    Questions: To help us conduct the area study, we request
information that will help answer the following questions, although
comments on other issues addressed in this notice are also welcome. In
responding to a question, please explain your reasons for each answer

Dear Lance:

Attached are the documents you sent to me on October 2, 2006, with
comments added from Steve Moore, Bruce Rosenlund, and from me.  I have
no problems or comments concerning confidential business information.
We have noted some misspellings and errors.  We have also included
comments and suggestions.

Comments in the attached documents are identified by:

MKR—Mary K. Romeo, President, Aquabiotics Corp.

BR—Bruce Rosenlund, CO Fish & Wildlife Mngmnt Assistance, 134 Union
Blvd, suite 675, Lakewood, CO 80228-1807,<PHONE_NUMBER>.  He is
Fintrol’s most experienced user.  He has consulted in treatments
around the U.S.

SM—Steve Moore, Supervisory Fisheries Biologist, Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, 107 Park Headquarters Road, Gatlinburg, TN 37738, 865 436
1250  His experience with Fintrol is in treatments on the east coast
(deciduous forests) and in the National Parks.

I’d like to mention a few things we commented on.

As noted in the documents, Bruce Rosenlund is concerned about confusion
in the documents as to the difference between antimycin A percentages
and Fintrol percentages.  As EPA knows, but is not clear in the
documents, A Fintrol Fish Toxicant Kit contains a bottle of concentrate,
which is 23% w/w (20% weight/volume) antimycin A.  Applicators will be
dealing with it at this concentration, but because antimycin does not
solubilize in water, the concentrate must be mixed with the included
diluent before application.  This solubilizes it (antimycin will not
kill fish until it is solubilized); now the liquid has a concentration
of 10% weight/volume antimycin A.  Then, the label states it is to be
mixed in at least 5 gallons of water to help mixing, further reducing
the percent active ingredient antimycin A, as it is applied in the
environment.  (Because of the density, the weight/volume and
weight/weight percentages are different, which causes confusion to
readers; we use the weight/volume figures so our applicators can easily
calculate the application rates in volumes of water.)

Bruce says, “If Fintrol is 23% active ingredient antimycin, then that
should be stated at the start of each document, and after that, Fintrol
should be used for all references to applications.”

As I commented on p. 16 of the EFED report, in contrast to what it
states, I believe most Fintrol aquaculture use is for adult scaled fish;
a smaller portion is for fingerling production ponds.  I have been told
that my sales to catfish farmers will be very limited if a one-year hold
time is required.

Regarding p. 19 of the EFED report: “Another difficulty is that there
are comparatively little EPA-guideline fate data available for
evaluation of the fate of antimycin A in the environment.  The
registrant has submitted only a hydrolysis and an aerobic aquatic
metabolism study, both of which the EPA classified as providing only
supplemental information and not fulfilling the data requirement.”
Former Aquabiotics President Nick Romeo and I never heard that these
studies did not fulfill the data requirement.  Nick worked with EPA &
ABC Labs to design these studies according to what EPA wanted.   Why are
you now not satisfied with them?

I will send you by mail, a copy of these reports.

Sincerely,

Mary K. Romeo

President

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0162; FRL-9943-22-OEI]

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; Regional Haze Regulations (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), ``Regional Haze Regulations
(Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1813.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0421) to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved
through March 31, 2016. Public comments were previously requested via
the Federal Register (80 FR 58473) on September 29, 2015 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
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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before April 29,
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OAR-2003-0162, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our
preferred method), or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental
Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.,
Washington, DC 20460, and (2) OMB via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for
EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: This ICR is for activities related to the implementation
of the EPA's regional haze rule, for the time period between March 31,
2016, and March 31, 2019, and renews the previous ICR. The regional
haze rule codified at 40 CFR parts 308 and 309, as authorized by
sections 169A and 169B of the Clean Air Act, requires states to develop
implementation plans to protect visibility in 156 federally-protected
Class I areas. Tribes may choose to develop implementation plans. For
this time period, states will primarily be developing and submitting
periodic comprehensive implementation plan revisions (or initial
implementation plans) and progress reports to comply with the
regulations.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are state, local and tribal air quality agencies, regional
planning organizations and facilities potentially regulated under the
regional haze rule.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory [see 40 CFR
51.308(b), (f) and (g) and 40 CFR 51.309(d)(10)].
    Estimated number of respondents: 52 (total); 52 state agencies.
    Frequency of response: Approximately every 5 years.
    Total estimated burden: 10,307 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $510,489 (per year). There are no annualized
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 4,259 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due to this ICR renewal period
covering different task elements than the previous renewal (EPA ICR No.
1813.08). These differences reflect the requirements of the current
regional haze rule with respect to the scheduled events and activities
in the implementation process. The last collection request anticipated
the program consisting mainly of submission of 5-year progress reports.
The change in burden reflects changes in labor rates and changes in the
activities conducted due to the normal progression of the program,
especially the fact that states will be working on and submitting
periodic comprehensive State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions (or
initial SIPs).
