14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30947; Amdt. No. 3581]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective March 25, 2014. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of March 25, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

City, OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the effective dates of
the, associated Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(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) ;
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0257]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Hudson River, Troy and Green
Island, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard amends the drawbridge operation regulations
that govern the operation of the highway bridge across the Hudson
River, mile 152.7, between Troy and Green Island, New York. The owner
of the bridge, New York State Department of Transportation, requested
that a twenty four hour advance notice be given for bridge openings. In
addition, we removed the regulations for the 112th Street Bridge, mile
155.4, between Troy and Cohoes which has been converted to a fixed
bridge. It is expected that this change to the regulations will provide
relief to the bridge owner from crewing the bridge while continuing to
meet the reasonable needs of navigation as well as remove obsolete
regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective October 15, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On May 24, 2013, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled, ``Drawbridge Operation Regulations; Hudson River, Troy
and Green Island, NY,'' in the Federal Register (78 FR 31454). We
received no comments on the proposed rule. No public meeting was
requested, and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The highway bridge, mile 152.7, across the Hudson River, between
Troy and Green Island, New York, has a vertical clearance in the closed
position of 29 feet at mean high water and 34 feet at mean low water.
The waterway users are seasonal recreational vessels, several tour
boats and a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers vessel.
    The existing drawbridge operation regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.791(e), which require the bridge to operate as follows: From April
1 through December 15, the draw shall open on signal from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m.; except that, the draw need not open from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., unless
notice is given before 4:30 p.m. of the time the vessel is expected to
pass, and need not open from 7 a.m., to 9 a.m., and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
From December 16 through March 31, the draw need not open.
    The Coast Guard received a request from the owner of the bridge,
New York State Department of Transportation, to change the drawbridge
operation regulations. The owner of the bridge proposes to open the
bridge as follows: From April 1 through December 15, the

draw shall open on signal after at least a twenty four hour notice is
given and from December 16 through March 31, the draw need not open for
the passage of vessel traffic.
    The bridge opens approximately 40 times a year on average between
April and December and there are no openings in the winter months when
the waterway is normally frozen.
    As a result of the above information the Coast Guard believes it is
reasonable for the bridge owner to operate the bridge after a twenty
four hour advance notice from April 1 through December 15.
    In addition, the Coast Guard removed the drawbridge operation
regulations for the 112th Street Bridge between Troy and Cohoes, 33 CFR
117.791(f), which was converted to a fixed bridge in 1997.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard received no comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. As a result, no changes have been made to this
final rule.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order. This conclusion is based on the fact that
this final rule is not a significant regulatory action because the
bridge will continue to open for the passage of all vessel traffic,
April 1 through December 15, after a twenty four hour notice is given.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The Coast Guard
received no comments from the Small Business Administration on this
rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This action will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small because the bridge will continue to open
for all vessel traffic after at least a 24 hour advance notice is
given.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule, if the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibility among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
order 13211, Actions Concerns Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these

standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards
(e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation;
test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems
practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This final rule simply promulgates the operating
regulations or procedures for drawbridges. This rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The DSCSA (Title II of Pub. L. 113-54) was signed into law on
November 27, 2013. Section 202 of the DSCSA added section 582 to the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360eee-
1). This section established product tracing, product identifier, and
verification requirements for manufacturers, repackagers, wholesale
distributors, and dispensers to facilitate the tracing of products
through the pharmaceutical distribution supply chain. Failure to comply
with the requirements of section 582 is also a prohibited act under
section 301(t) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 331(t)).
    Beginning November 27, 2017, manufacturers are required, under
section 582(b)(2)(A) of the FD&C Act, to ``affix or imprint a product
identifier to each package and homogenous case of a product intended to
be introduced in a transaction into commerce.'' Also beginning on
November 27, 2017, section 582(b)(4)(A)(i)(II) of the FD&C Act requires
manufacturers to verify the product at the package level, including the
standardized numerical identifier, which is part of the product
identifier, when they determine that the product in their possession or
control is suspect or they receive a verification request from FDA.
Section 582(b)(4)(C) of the FD&C Act requires a manufacturer, upon
receiving a request from an authorized trading partner that believes a
product in its possession or control was manufactured by the
manufacturer, to verify whether the product identifier on a product
corresponds with the product identifier affixed or imprinted by the
manufacturer. Section 582(b)(4)(E) of the FD&C Act requires
manufacturers to verify the product identifier of a package or a sealed
homogenous case of a saleable returned product before the manufacturer
further distributes such product.
    In addition, under section 582(e)(2)(A)(iii) of the FD&C Act,
beginning on November 27, 2018, repackagers may engage in transactions
involving a product only if such product is encoded with a product
identifier, unless the product is grandfathered under section 582(a)(5)
of the FD&C Act. This same requirement applies to wholesale
distributors beginning on November 27, 2019, under section 582(c)(2) of
the FD&C Act, and to dispensers beginning on November 27, 2020, under
section 582(d)(2) of the FD&C Act. Additionally, under section
582(c)(4)(A)(i)(II), (d)(4)(A)(ii)(II), and (e)(4)(A)(i)(II) of the
FD&C Act, wholesale distributors, dispensers, and repackagers are
required to verify the product at the package level, including the
standardized numerical identifier, which is part of the product
identifier, to investigate a suspect product. For a saleable returned
product, the wholesale distributor or repackager must verify the
product identifier, including the standardized numerical identifier, of
each package or sealed homogenous case of such product before it
further distributes such product, under section 582(c)(4)(D) and
(e)(4)(E) of the FD&C Act, respectively.
    As described in the draft guidance, FDA has received comments and
feedback from manufacturers and other trading partners expressing
concern with industry-wide readiness for implementation of the product
identifier requirements for manufacturers and describing challenges
they face. Given the concerns expressed, FDA recognizes that some
manufacturers may need additional time beyond November 27, 2017, to
ensure that products are properly labeled with a product identifier. To
minimize possible disruptions in the distribution of prescription drugs
in the United States, FDA has adopted the compliance policy described
in the guidance.
    Under this compliance policy, FDA does not intend to take action
against manufacturers who do not affix or imprint a product identifier
to their packages and homogenous cases of product that are intended to
be introduced in a transaction into commerce between November 27, 2017,
and November 26, 2018. For such product that does not contain a product
identifier and was first introduced in a transaction into commerce by
the manufacturer between November 27, 2017, and November 26, 2018, FDA
also does not intend to take action against manufacturers who do not
use the product identifier to verify a product at the package level
when investigating suspect product, upon receiving a verification
request from FDA, after receiving a request from an authorized trading
partner, or for a saleable returned product.
    This guidance also explains that, for a product that does not have
a product identifier and that was first introduced

in a transaction into commerce by the manufacturer between November 27,
2017, and November 26, 2018, FDA does not intend to take action
against: (1) Repackagers who accept ownership of such product in a
transaction; (2) wholesale distributors who engage in transactions
involving such product; and (3) dispensers who engage in transactions
involving such product, or repackagers, wholesale distributors, and
dispensers who do not verify the product at the package level, using
the product identifier, when investigating suspect product or for a
saleable returned product as applicable. In addition, the guidance
explains that FDA does not intend to take action against a
manufacturer, repackager, or wholesale distributor who engages in
certain prohibited acts involving products that are misbranded based on
lack of product identifier alone, where the package and/or homogeneous
case of product that lacks a product identifier was introduced in a
transaction into commerce by a manufacturer between November 27, 2017,
and November 26, 2018. The guidance document explains the scope of the
compliance policy in further detail. FDA invites comment on the
compliance policy, including comments on how manufacturers can indicate
the date they initially introduced the product in a transaction into
commerce and how downstream trading partners can determine that product
was initially introduced by manufacturers in a transaction into
commerce during that time period.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ``Product
Identifier Requirements Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act--
Compliance Policy.'' It does not establish any rights for any person
and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can use an alternative
approach if it satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations. This is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 12866.

                      PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT

1.	Identification of the Information Collection

(a)	Title and Number of Information Collection.

 	"Control of Evaporative Emissions from New and In-Use Portable Gasoline Containers (Renewal)", ICR 2213.07, OMB 2060-0597.

(b)	Short Characterization.

	Under regulations promulgated on February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428; 40 CFR Part 59, Subpart F), manufacturers of new portable gasoline containers (also "portable fuel container" or "PFC") from 0.25 to 10.0 gallons in capacity are required to obtain certificates of conformity with the Clean Air Act. The rule applies to containers manufactured on or after January 1, 2009 (manufacturers and importers were given until June 30, 2009 and wholesale distributors until December 31, 2009 to dispose of stocks manufactured before January 1, 2009). Certificates are valid from the effective date until the end of the production period, a maximum of five years. This ICR covers the burdens associated with filing applications for certification, required annual compliance reporting, and warranty claims, based on experience during the prior three years of the program on an annual basis. The applications are processed by the Compliance Division (CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, EPA. In essence, an application is in support of an emission limitation of 0.3 grams per gallon per day of hydrocarbons for the mandated five-year useful life of the container. Applicants submit test results conducted in accordance with the regulations, maintenance instructions and warranty information given to the purchasers, copies of the labels, and other information listed in section 4(b). Applications are submitted in no fixed format, although EPA did work with the PFC industry informally on application questions and provided non-confidential versions of acceptable received applications ("FOIA applications") as examples to other potential applicants. Applications are submitted electronically to the EPA's engine and vehicle compliance information system (EV-CIS).

	The previous ICR authorization was based on an estimated eight respondents for 206.9 hours and $22,028.90 in costs, including $12,552 for capital/start up and Operating and Maintenance (O&M) costs, including the costs of conducting tests, annually.

      The burdens in this ICR are based on experience administering the program from January 1, 2019, through December 2022. Currently, there are 14 active EPA certificates of conformity issued to nine different companies. All certificates were issued for five years. Annual warranty reports are due July 1 for the previous calendar year. The portable fuel container (PFC) companies have experienced few emission-related warranty claims, so we are estimating only one warranty report annually for this collection period. The main changes from the previous ICR authorization are the following: updating the agency burden estimate, labor costs, and the number of respondents and responses. The current request estimates nine respondents for 240 hours and $ $29,855.51 in costs, including $21,613.67 for capital and O&M costs, including the costs of conducting tests, annually.

2.	Need for and Use of the Collection

(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection.

      Statutory authority for the PFC controls is found in Sections 183(e) and 111 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. sections 7511b(e) and 7414. The EPA is required under Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (Act) to regulate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to Section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation on March 23, 1995 (60 FR 15264). Consumer products were included in Group I of the list, and standards were promulgated on September 11, 1998. In the Administrator's judgment, VOC emissions from the use of consumer products contribute to ground-level ozone formation in ozone non-attainment areas. PFCs are a consumer product which has been shown to be deficient in preventing VOCs in the form of fuel vapors from being emitted into the air. The certification program for PFCs was promulgated in 2007 (72 FR 8533; February 26, 2007). The regulations appear in 40 CFR Part 59, Subpart F (40 CFR §§ 59.600 - 59.699).

      The information in a manufacturer's application for certification is needed to ensure that the VOC emission standard will be met during the useful life of the container and that certified containers comply with the labeling, warranty, and other requirements of the regulations. Manufacturers may aggregate containers of like design into one emission family. This saves the manufacturer the expense of testing models of similar but not identical design. The regulations also allow subsequent recertification when a certificate has expired ("carry over"), where design and emissions characteristics are virtually unchanged.

	The record keeping requirements are likewise in support of a demonstration that the emissions family certified will meet the emissions standard in the regulation. The records specified are to be provided to EPA upon request.

      The annual warranty reports are needed to assure that the containers survive normal use and provide EPA important information on the success of its certification program, weaknesses therein, or examples or patterns of noncompliance. Containers showing excessive warranty claims could be candidates for in-use testing by EPA. Although EPA does not have the authority to recall PFCs, the warranty information along with possible in-use testing by EPA could be used as grounds to withhold subsequent certification or to enter into an enforcement action under the Clean Air Act.

(b)	Practical Utility/Users of the Information.

	Agency personnel will use the information collected to:

 Determine if a manufacturer's PFCs meet the VOC emission standard when new;

 Issue a certificate of conformity to the manufacturer so that it can market the covered containers;

 Issue carry-over certificates of conformity from a previous production period instead of requiring the manufacturer to perform new tests, but only if the emission data from the previous production period remains the appropriate emission-data unit;

 Determine whether the PFCs are meeting the VOC emission standard in-use; and

 Reject a manufacturer's application if a PFC design is not meeting the VOC emission standard in use or take other appropriate action.

3.	Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

(a)	Non-duplication.

	The information collected includes product and manufacturing specifications, testing documentation, and successful warranty claims. Similar information is collected by the State of California and approximately 13 other states that have adopted the California Portable Gasoline Container regulation. However, the California regulation is different from the federal program in the following areas such that the information is unsuitable for information collection required by the federal rule:

 The test fuel and the temperature cycles used in the federal program represent nationwide ambient temperatures and fuels, while those required in the California regulation reflect California fuels and ambient conditions.

 The federal rule requires the reporting of successful warranty claims concerning fuel containers sold as certified under the rule. While the California regulation also requires that the manufacturer issue warranties, it does not require them to report on the outcomes of successful claims against them.

 	Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

      An announcement soliciting public comment on this ICR will be published in the Federal Register. A copy of the draft ICR will be placed in the docket.

(c)	Consultations

	For this renewal, EPA will consult the following individual(s):

Organization			Name					Phone Number

Scepter USA.			Sergio Garza<PHONE_NUMBER>

No Spill, LLC			 Michael Major<PHONE_NUMBER>

Testing Services Group	Brian Campbell<PHONE_NUMBER>

These manufacturers and testing laboratories have been consulted in previous renewals for PFCs. For example, Testing Services Group has previously commented on contract costs for testing and application preparation that was particularly helpful.

(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

	Certificates of conformity are issued for the production period of the models covered in the emissions family, not to exceed five years. All certificates to date have been issued for five years. However, when a gasoline container design is "carried over" or a new design of a container that is substantially similar to a current container, the amount of new information required is substantially reduced. Warranty reports are required by regulation to be submitted annually.

(e)	General Guidelines.

	This ICR adheres to the guidelines for federal data requesters, as provided at 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2), with the exception that the regulation requires that records concerning the application for certification be maintained for five years (except for routine testing data for one year). The five-year requirement is consistent with the maximum production period and the consequent five-year duration of certificates. The retention is necessary to allow the agency to adequately monitor compliance. Information on successful warranty claims is required for each model by July 1 of the following year. There is no requirement to report unsuccessful claims against container warranties. There is no requirement by EPA for the manufactures to retain that information beyond the extent necessary to report it annually.

(f)	Confidentiality.

      Any information submitted to EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 Part 2, as stated explicitly in the regulations (40 CFR §59.695). Section 2.201 sets forth how to make confidentiality claims and how documents raising confidentiality issues will be handled by the EPA.

 	Sensitive Questions.

	This collection does not involve matters of a sensitive nature.

4.	The Respondents and the Information Requested

(a)	Respondents/SIC and NAICS Codes.

	Respondents to this information collection are manufacturers of PFCs. They fall within standard industrial classification (SIC) 3411 and within the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code of 332431 (metal can manufacturing) or SIC 3089, NAICS 326199 (all other plastic product manufacturing).

            (e) Send us an annual warranty report summarizing successful warranty claims by emission family under §59.612, including the reason for the claim. You must submit the report by July 1 for the preceding calendar year.

There is also a one-to-one correspondence between the recordkeeping requirements and the requirements listed in the regulations (40 CFR §59.628):

            (a) Organize and maintain the following records:

            (1) A copy of all applications and any other information you send us.

            (2) Any of the information we specify in §59.623 that you were not required to include in your application.

            (3) A detailed history of each emission-data unit. For each emission-data unit, include all of the following:

            (i) The emission-data unit's construction, including its origin and buildup, steps you took to ensure that it represents production containers, any components you built specially for it, and all the components you include in your application for certification.

            (ii) All your emission tests, including documentation on routine and standard tests, as specified in §§59.650 through 59.653, and the date and purpose of each test.

            (iii) All tests to diagnose emission-control performance, giving the date and time of each and the reasons for the test.

            (iv) Any other relevant events or information.

            (4) Production figures for each emission family divided by assembly plant.

            (5) If you identify your PFCs by lot number or other identification numbers, keep a record of these numbers for all the containers you produce under each certificate of conformity.

            (b) Keep data from routine emission tests (such as test cell temperatures and relative humidity readings) for one year after we issue the associated certificate of conformity. Keep all other information specified in paragraph (a) of this section for five years after we issue your certificate.

            (c) Store these records in any format and on any media, as long as you can promptly send us organized, written records in English if we ask for them. You must keep these records readily available. We may review them at any time.

            (d) Send us copies of any maintenance instructions or explanations if we ask for them.

 Send us an annual warranty report summarizing successful warranty claims by emission family under §59.612, including the reason for the claim. You must submit the report by July 1 for the preceding calendar year.

	(ii)	Respondent Activities.

	The applications are in no set format but generally follow the enumerated application requirements specified in §59.623 (see 4(b)(i) above). The respondent will have to document gasoline container specifications in detail, such as physical size, shapes, materials, quality of component fit, and production methods, in submitting its application(s) for certification. The respondent will also perform tests and keep records on them. The respondent must collect and keep information on successful warranty claims for annual reporting. The respondent must also retain records on the units produced, apply serial numbers to individual containers, and track the serial numbers to their certificates of conformity. Many of these activities are performed in the production of any modern consumer product, but clearly some of the information is uniquely required by the gasoline container regulation.

5.	The Information Collected--Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management.

(a)	Agency Activities.

	 During the renewal period the most significant portion of EPA's activity for the PFC regulation will be spent reviewing new applications and renewal applications. Other activities include processing exemptions, exceptions and answering questions concerning details of the testing and certification requirements, including researching the answers and communicating by email and telephone. Submissions to change or modify the application for certification after EPA approval of the application (sometimes called a "running change") must also be reviewed for possible impacts and manufacturers' evaluations thereof. A part of this process involves determining if "carry over" or "carry across" of data from a previous model year or addition of a new container model to an existing emissions family is appropriate or if instead new testing will be required. EPA has the right to select a number of containers for testing to confirm that the containers are indeed meeting the emissions standard, but no confirmatory testing burden is anticipated in this estimate. EPA will also be reviewing the annual submissions of successful warranty claims and processing exemption requests.

(b)	Collection Methodology and Management.

	Applicants submit their applications for certification in the document module of EPA's EV-CIS. All system users go through an initial registration process that includes submission of basic information and assignment of a manufacturer code. Warranty reports must also be submitted through the EV-CIS document module, with no set format.

(c)	Small Entity Flexibility.

	There are several provisions available for small and larger entity flexibility in the regulations. Hardship deadline extensions for compliance with the standard are available where, due to circumstances neither foreseeable nor preventable, compliance would jeopardize the solvency of the company. Exemptions are for up to one year and are renewable. There are also exemptions for containers intended only for export, used for the sole purpose of testing, competition, or for national security. As with other certification programs, small as well as larger manufacturers have recourse to carry over emission data from a previous production year. They may also request to use alternative testing methods or emissions data already collected using other procedures. The PFC program currently collects no certification fees.

(d)	Collection Schedule.

	The PFC regulation applies to all gasoline containers as defined in the regulations manufactured on or after January 1, 2009. Information collections are on a production period basis, five years in all cases so far. Warranty reports are on a calendar year basis, with reports due July 1 for the previous calendar year.

6.	Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

	These estimates represent the average annual burden that will be incurred by the affected industry during the three-year period beginning on September 30, 2016, with a margin for error.

(a)	Estimating Respondent Burden.

	The previous ICR authorization was based on an estimated eight respondents for 206.9 hours and $22,028.90 in costs, including $12,552 for capital and O&M costs, which also includes the costs of conducting tests annually. This ICR estimates 240 total hours from nine manufacturers. This figure primarily reflects the following adjustments: we conservatively ask authorization to cover three applications per year. The EPA has started to conduct testing programs for PFC containers. Our initial testing has revealed some discrepancies between data submitted for certification and EPA test results. We have alerted manufacturers to EPA's testing for this industry and have requested new data, on occasion, to verify test results for the current model year periods applicable to this ICR. As a result, manufacturers have engaged in more testing and many have switched their testing services to fall more in line with EPA testing in the context of certification. Therefore, we have assumed manufacturers are doing new testing for each family, not relying on carryover data. One additional manufacturer and more accurate testing has resulted in a slight increase in EPA's estimate of compliance with the PFC program. However, this increase is still in line with past ICR's EPA has issued for PFC's.

      This ICR does not include the costs of developing products that comply with the Clean Air Act, only the burdens of making the showing to EPA that they do. SGS, formerly Testing Services Group, which had done nearly all of the contract work, previously stated that it charges under $2,000 for application preparation and submission and under $5,000 for testing work. Because the facility had done a wide variety of testing, including for these respondents, it is difficult to allocate these contracted costs among labor, capital, and O&M. We have made adjustments based on a smaller sampling of the expected burden from respondents.

	This ICR uses $6,000 per application to conduct contract testing to demonstrate compliance with the PFC evaporative standard, allocated to O&M costs. Carry-over applications only require labor costs, with no testing (O&M) costs. However, in this ICR we are assuming manufacturers will be conducting new testing for their emissions families rather than relying on carrying over data from previous certification(s).

 Estimating Respondent Costs.

      (i) Estimating Labor Costs

      Rates for managers, mechanical engineer technicians, and administrative staff are from the May 2022 National Industry-Specific Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics4_3330A1.htm. With an overhead multiplier of 1.31, these are $87.47 for Managerial, $38.12 for Engineering/Technician, and $31.41 for Administrative hourly labor. Applying these figures to the application, warranty, and record keeping labor totals above, the total labor cost is $10,139.44 (approximately 55 hours per family) .

      (ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs

      The current ICR no longer assumes a new manufacturer that would need to be burdened with startup cost. As mentioned above, we assume $6,000 in O&M costs for testing, for about three new applications or renewals per year, for a total O&M cost of $ $21,613.67 per year for the industry.

 (c)	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

	  The program is now in place and the considerable startup efforts are in the past. Currently, we estimate that it will take one GS 13, Step 10 EPA employee advocating approximately 1.1 hours of review per PFC application. There are no secretarial or database management costs, as these applications are too small to differentiate from the much larger EV-CIS baseline as part of the motor vehicle certification information collection. The EPA employee cost is $ 103.49 per hour per certification application review. The EPA labor estimate is based on Office of Personnel Management SALARY TABLE 2022-base (https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2022/DET_h.pdf). For an estimated three applications per year, the estimated annual Agency burden is $ 341.51. We anticipate nominal effort in eliciting and reviewing warranty action reports. To date we have received only two warranty action reports over the preceding three-year reporting period. That averages to approximately one report a year requiring warranty action, and thus one warranty action per year requiring EPA review.

 	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

The following assumptions were used to estimate the respondent universe and total burden and costs for industry to comply with the various requirements of the rule.
::	We estimate nine manufactures of gasoline containers for the domestic market. This manufacturer estimation is consistent with the prior ICR renewal.
::	 We conservatively anticipate 14 applications in the next five years, or about three applications a year.
::	 We expect the majority of the applications we receive over the next five years to require PFC testing. We, therefore, anticipate a moderate level of testing for each manufacturer over the next five years. This estimate may be reduced in the next ICR if updated information reduces the expected testing we anticipate for PFCs.
::	Manufactures will continue to contract for testing services and most certificate application preparation.

(f)     Reasons for Change in Burden
	The program is now mature and startup costs have largely already been incurred. One successful warranty violation report has been received on an annual basis, as reported above, so warranty report applications are expected to be less time consuming. The number of manufacturers certifying PFC's is nine (9) and we do not anticipate an increase in new entrants. The increase in anticipated costs is due to the adjustment in expected testing burden and an increase in overall wages across the industry from our previous ICR. We have adjusted the labor expected for respondents according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates for the 2022 model year and we are now using a labor cost modifier also offered by BLS (1.31). Finally, we have increased the anticipated cost of contracting a PFC emission test to reflect the estimated current market rate.

(g)    Burden Statement

      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average seven hours per respondent. 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 methods to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 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. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The NEMSAC was established pursuant to Section 31108 of the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act of 2012, under the
