FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Fikentscher, Office of Crash
Avoidance Standards, Vehicle Dynamics Division (NRM-220), National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration, West Building, Fourth Floor,
Room W43-467, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590. Mr.
Fikentscher's phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0052.
    Title: Brake Hose Manufacturers Identification.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: Request for extension of a currently approved
collection of information.
    Background: 49 U.S.C. 30101 et seq., as amended (``the Safety
Act''), authorizes NHTSA to issue Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSSs). The Safety Act mandates that in issuing any FMVSS,
the agency is to consider whether the standard is reasonable and
appropriate for the particular type of motor vehicle or item of motor
vehicle equipment for which it is prescribed. Using this authority,
FMVSS No. 106, Brake Hoses, was issued. This standard specifies
labeling

and performance requirements which apply to all manufacturers of brake
hoses and brake hose end fittings, and to those who assemble brake
hoses (49 CFR 571.106).
    Prior to assembling or selling brake hoses, these entities must
register their identification marks with NHTSA to comply with the
labeling requirements of this standard. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act, the agency must obtain OMB approval to
continue collecting labeling information. Currently, there are 2,418
manufacturers of brake hoses and end fittings, and brake hose
assemblers, registered with NHTSA. However, about 60 respondents
annually (annual average from 2014-2016) request to have their
identification marks added to or removed from the NHTSA database. To
comply with this standard, each brake hose manufacturer or assembler
must contact NHTSA and state that they want to be added to or removed
from the NHTSA database of registered brake hose manufacturers. This
action is usually initiated by the manufacturer with a brief written
request via U.S. mail, facsimile, an email message, or a telephone
call. Since September 1, 2015, the request can be submitted via the
Manufacturer Portal: Online Web-based Submittal Center (https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov). Currently, about 90 percent of requests are
received electronically and 10 percent via mail. The estimated time for
complying with the labeling requirements of this regulation is 1.5
hours per manufacturer. The corresponding total annual burden is
estimated to be 90 hours (time burden of 1.5 hours per manufacturer x
60 manufacturers). The estimated manufacturer's cost for complying with
this regulation is $100 per hour. Therefore, the total annual cost is
estimated to be $9,000 (time burden of 90 hours x $100 cost per hour).
    Respondents: Business or other for profit.
    Number of Respondents: 60.
    Number of Responses: 60.
    Total Annual Burden: 90 hours.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the Department's
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the
Department to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's
clearance of this information collection.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.

    Issued in Washington, DC.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0078]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Officer Lehner Memorial Vintage Regatta; Buffalo
Outer Harbor, Buffalo, NY

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary safety zone
for certain waters of the Buffalo Outer Harbor during the Officer
Lehner Memorial Vintage Regatta. This proposed rulemaking would
prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Buffalo or a designated
representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before May 25, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0078 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email LT Michael Collet, Chief of
Waterways Management, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Buffalo; telephone 716-
843-9322, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On December 27, 2017, the Buffalo Vintage Boat Racing Association
and BR Guest Inc., notified the Coast Guard that it will be conducting
a boat race from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on July 1, 2018, on the
Buffalo Outer Harbor. Hazards from the boat regatta include high speed
vessels. The Captain of the Port Buffalo (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the Officer Lehner Memorial Vintage
Regatta would be a safety concern for anyone within the designated
course encompassed by all waters inside of the Outer Harbor, Buffalo,
NY starting at position 42[deg] 52'04'' N, 078[deg] 53'03'' W then
South to 42[deg] 51'07'' N, 078[deg] 52'09'' W (NAD 83). The course
will extend a minimum of 100 yards from the shore and the breakwall.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within the above stated points before, during,
and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard proposes this rulemaking
under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to establish a temporary safety zone, enforced
intermittently, from 9:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on July 1, 2018. The safety
zone will encompass all waters inside of the Outer Harbor, Buffalo, NY
starting at position 42[deg] 52'04'' N, 078[deg] 53'03'' W then South
to 42[deg] 51'07'' N, 078[deg] 52'09'' W (NAD 83). The course will
extend a minimum of 100 yards from the shore and the breakwall. The
duration of the

zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these navigable
waters before, during, and after the scheduled 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
boat races. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end
of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around this safety zone, which would
impact a small designated area of the Buffalo Outer Harbor, by
transiting a short distance in Lake Erie. The safety zone would also
have built in times where vessels will be able to transit through
between race heats. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV. A. above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed 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
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. 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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01, which guides the Coast Guard in complying
with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-
4370f), and have made a preliminary determination that this action is
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves an intermittently enforced safety zone lasting 6.5 hours that
would prohibit entry into all waters inside of the Outer Harbor,
Buffalo, NY starting at position 42[deg] 52'04'' N, 078[deg] 53'03'' W
then South to 42[deg] 51'07'' N, 078[deg] 52'09'' W (NAD 83). The
course will extend a minimum of 100 yards from the shore and the
breakwall. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L[61] of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. 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.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or

  Subject: RE: air-to-blood ratio section

Lydia,

Thank you for this draft.  Two comments:

1.  We failed to note additional or clarified support for the higher ratios.  We remain somewhat uncomfortable with characterizing the science-based support for a ratio of 1:7 as equivalently robust to the science-based support for standards ranging up to 1:6.  I believe we’ll pick up the conversation in the morning.

2.  Questions regarding “reanalysis” and “potentially” on p 4:

More recently, a study of changes in children’s blood Pb levels associated with reduced Pb emissions and associated air concentrations near a Pb smelter in Canada (for children through age six in age) reports a ratio of 1:6 and reanalysis << Did the Agency mean to say additional analysis ??  Our conversation had not left me with the impression that the Hilts dataset has been reanalyzed by the Agency >> of the data by EPA for the initial time period of the study resulted in a ratio of 1:7 (CD, pp. 3-23 to 3-24; Hilts, 2003).[1]  Ambient air and blood Pb levels associated with the Hilts (2003) study range from 1.1 to 0.03 µg/m3, and associated population mean blood Pb levels range from 11.5 to 4.7 µg/dL, which are lower than levels associated with the older studies cited in the 1986 Criteria Document (USEPA, 1986).

Sources of uncertainty potentially  << The sentence reads well without “potentially”.  I believe these uncertainties are not potentially related; they were identified by the author as related >> related to air-to-blood ratios obtained from Hilts (2003) study have been identified.

Best regards,

heidi

[1] This study considered changes in ambient air Pb levels and associated blood Pb levels over a five-year period which included closure of an older Pb smelter and subsequent opening of a newer facility in 1997 and a temporary (3 month) shutdown of all smelting activity in the summer of 2001. The author observed that the air-to-blood ratio for children in the area over the full period was approximately 1:6. The author noted limitations in the dataset associated with exposures in the second time period, after the temporary shutdown of the facility in 2001, including sampling of a different age group at that time and a shorter time period (3 months) at these lower ambient air Pb levels prior to collection of blood Pb levels. Consequently, EPA calculated an alternate air-to-blood Pb ratio based on consideration for ambient air Pb and blood Pb reductions in the first time period (after opening of the new facility in 1997).


                Control Device Requirements for Storage Vessels
                           Revised: October 8, 2015

Storage vessels reconnected to the original source of liquids or is used to replace any `affected' storage vessel, is considered an `affected' facility immediately upon startup/return to service, and is therefore subject to the control requirements of OOOOa.  Per 60.5360a(a)(3), refracturing of a well does not affect the modification status of storage vessels.
Initial compliance demonstration for storage vessels in 60.5410a(h) requires determination of VOC emissions within 60 days, reduce VOC emissions by 95%, meet the cover requirements of 60.5411a(b), meet the closed vent system requirements of 60.5411a(c), conduct initial performance test within 180 days of startup, submit annual report, and maintain records for 5 years.  Additional initial compliance in 60.5411a(b) & (c) requires that cover & openings must form a continuous impermeable barrier over the liquid, cover openings must be in a closed, sealed position (unless gauging, maintenance, unloading, etc.), must ensure that thief hatches remain properly seated and sealed, the closed vent system must be designed to route all vapors to the control device or a process, no visible emissions per OVA, must be operational 95% of the year or greater, and meet bypass device requirements (install meter and use an alarm or use a lock).
