Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Generic Information Collection Submissions for
"TSCA Existing Chemical Risk Evaluation and Management; Generic ICR for Interviews and Focus Groups"

Part B.	STATISTICAL METHODS

 Universe and Respondent Selection

   Under this generic ICR, EPA will conduct focus groups and structured interviews with chemical users, processors, distributors, manufacturers (including importers), recyclers, chemical waste handlers, consumers, employees, state regulators, non-governmental organizations, and industry experts to gain critical information about chemicals that are candidates for risk evaluation or risk management under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Results will not be used to produce statistical descriptions (careful, repeatable measurements).  The specific sample planned for each individual collection and the method for soliciting participation will be described fully in each collection request.

   The data provided by interviews and focus groups under this generic ICR will be used to better understand conditions of use, exposure, potentially exposed and susceptible subpopulations, and alternatives to a particular chemical. This data may also be used to pretest survey instruments used in risk evaluation or risk management under TSCA.  The accuracy, reliability, and applicability of the results of these interviews and focus groups will be adequate for their purpose.

   In general, for conditions of use and exposure EPA's primary objectives are to obtain information about:
 production volume and process information;
 conditions of use;
 site release and transfer information (including disposal);
 workplace exposure and practices in place to prevent or reduce worker exposure;
 consumer exposure and practices in place to prevent or reduce consumer exposure (if applicable);
 environmental exposure;
 potentially exposed or susceptible populations;
 chemical end uses, including products containing the chemical (if applicable); and
 other information needed to identify conditions of use or exposures for the subject chemical or chemical category.

   For alternatives, EPA's primary objectives are to obtain information about:
 chemical and/or process alternatives for risk management of a given condition of use of a chemical;
 efficacy and performance of alternatives;
 experience and use practices with use of any alternative;
 advantages and disadvantages of any alternative; and
 other information needed to calculate costs and benefits of various alternatives.

 Procedures for Collecting Information

   Data collection methods and procedures will vary and the specifics of these will be provided with each collection request.

 Methods to Maximize Response

   Information collected under this generic clearance will yield data about conditions of use, exposure, and alternatives to certain chemicals expected to require risk management. EPA will work with the universe of respondents to maximize response to gain valuable data.

 Testing of Procedures

   Pretesting may be done with internal staff, a limited number of external colleagues, and/or customers who are familiar with the chemicals, conditions of use, products and articles, as well with those familiar with the stakeholders.

 Contacts for Statistical Aspects and Data Collection

   The data collected under this generic clearance will be adequate for its purpose and will not be used to produce statistical descriptions. Instead, the data collected will be used to better understand the conditions of use evaluated, associated exposures, or the alternatives to chemicals that present unreasonable risks in a risk evaluation and are expected to be the subject of risk management action under TSCA.  Data collected under this generic clearance may be used in several ways during the risk evaluation and risk management processes, including establishing generic scenarios, developing models of various conditions of use of chemicals evaluated under TSCA or their alternatives, and providing important context for publicly available information or other information already available to EPA.

33 CFR 165

[Docket Number USCG-2021-0439]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Caruso Affiliated Holdings Fireworks Event, Newport
Beach, California

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone near
Balboa Pier, Newport Beach Harbor, California, around the fireworks
launch barge SWOB-1, during the loading of pyrotechnics at Los Angeles
Berth 184, the transit of the barge from LA Berth 184 to the display
location in vicinity of Southeast of Balboa Pier and for the duration
of the fireworks display, on July 4, 2021. This temporary safety zone
is necessary to provide for the safety of the waterway users by keeping
them clear of potential harmful debris within the fall out zone during
the fireworks display scheduled to take place within Newport Beach
Harbor, and the loading and transit of the explosives. Entry of persons
or vessels into this temporary safety zone is prohibited unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Los Angeles--Long
Beach, or her designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 7 p.m. through 11 p.m. on July 4,
2021.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2021-0439 in the ``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email the LCDR Maria Wiener, U.S. Coast
Guard Sector Los Angeles--Long Beach; telephone

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
E.O. Executive order
FR Federal Register
LLNR Light List Number
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Pub. L. Public Law
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule. Publishing an NPRM would be impracticable in
this case due to the timing of the event. The event sponsor submitted
their application on May 9th, 2021 however, the application was
incomplete and did not address the vessels that would be used to carry
out the event. As the Coast Guard received late notification of the
fireworks display vessels, there is not sufficient time for notice and
comment procedures.
    For the reasons stated above, we are issuing this rule, and under 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for
making it effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be contrary to
the public interest because immediate action is necessary to protect
persons and property from the dangers associated with the fireworks
event on July 4, 2021.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034; The Captain of the Port (COTP), Los Angeles--Long Beach has
determined that potential hazards associated with navigation safety may
arise because the fireworks display creates potential for hazards for
any person or vessel within a 1,000-foot radius of the fireworks launch
barge. Potential hazards include accidental discharge of fireworks,
dangerous projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. This
temporary safety zone is necessary to ensure the safety of, and reduce
the risk to, the public, and mariners, in the Newport Beach Harbor.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone on July 4, 2021,
encompassing all navigable waters from the surface to the sea floor
within a 100-foot radius around the fireworks launch barge SWOB-1,
during the loading of the pyrotechnics at LA Berth 184, and during the
transit of the fireworks barge from LA Berth 184 to the fireworks
launch site in approximate position: 33[deg]35.474' N; 117[deg]53.296'
W, in vicinity of Newport Beach Harbor. The temporary safety zone will
then increase to 1,000-feet 15 minutes prior to, and for the duration
of the fireworks display, expected to commence at 9 p.m. and last
approximately 30 minutes. These coordinates are based on North American
Datum of 1984.
    No vessel or person is permitted to operate in the safety zone
without obtaining permission from the Captain of the Port (COTP) or the
COTP's designated representative. Sector Los Angeles--Long Beach may be
contacted on VHF-FM Channel 16 or<PHONE_NUMBER>. The general boating
public will be notified prior to the enforcement of the temporary
safety zone via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders (E.O.s) related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and E.O.s, and we discuss
First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    E.O.s 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review'') and 13563
(``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review'') 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 including potential economic, environmental,
public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity.
E.O. 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. Executive Order 13771 (``Reducing Regulation and
Controlling Regulatory Costs''), directs agencies to reduce regulation
and control regulatory costs and provides that ``for every one new
regulation issued, at least two prior regulations be identified for
elimination, and that the cost of planned regulations be prudently
managed and controlled through a budgeting process.''
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration of the safety zone. Although this rule restricts
access to the waters encompassed by the safety zone, the effect of this
rule will not be significant because the local waterway users will be
notified via public Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure the safety
zone will result in minimum impact. The entities most likely to be
affected are waterfront facilities, commercial vessels, and pleasure
craft engaged in recreational activities.

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 rule
will 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
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator. 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 section.
    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.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will 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 E.O. 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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in E.O. 13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under E.O. 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. If you believe this rule has
implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above.

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

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1
(series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
determined 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 rule involves a safety zone in an area in the
vicinity of Newport Beach Harbor, Newport, CA. Such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of the Department of Homeland Security Directive
023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. An environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination and Record of Environmental Consideration (REC) are
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 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.

fireworks barge from Los Angeles Berth 184 to the fireworks launch site
in approximate position: 33[deg]35.474' N; 117[deg]53.296' W, in
vicinity of Newport Beach Harbor. The temporary safety zone will then
increase to 1,000-feet 15 minutes prior to, and for the duration of the
fireworks display, expected to commence at 9:00 p.m. and last

Page 1 Proposal for Updated Test Procedures and Technical Amendments Briefing for Margo Oge June 2004 Page 2 Test procedures   Part 1065 has test procedures for multiple engine categories   Originally adopted for nonroad spark ignition engines   Nonroad diesel Tier 4   Part 1065 is adequate for these final rules   Proposal includes three types of change   Improved precision and new measurement techniques, consistent with HD2007 final rule   Updated measurement procedures for in use testing   Updated language to make testing general and understandable for all engine categories; Part 1065 will be become the global technical standard   Proposed language has been closely coordinated with industry Page 3 Rulemaking Background   Most of the changes to the test procedures in part 1065 were drafted for the Tier 4 final rule   The final draft included many changes from the proposal   OGC recommended adopting only those changes needed for the Tier 4 final rule   The heavy duty in use testing rule depends on updating the test procedures in part 1065   Need signature by early July to support in use testing rule   Initiating a separate rule for changing test procedures gave us the opportunity to add technical amendments Page 4 Technical Amendments   OTAQ has had no technical amendments for 3+ years   Industry and EPA review of regs has produced several amendments, which can be grouped into three types:

  Correct errors ( equations, cross references, typos, etc.)

  Clarify various provisions, none of which are expected to raise big issues ( see Appendix)

» many of these align other programs with the nonroad diesel Tier 4 final rule   Make minor program adjustments   No changes related to fuels program Page 5 HD2007 Amendments   Migrate test procedures from Part 86, subpart N to Part 1065   Test requirements are consistent, but clarify several provisions and incorporate recent testing upgrades   Adjust the testing method for the Supplemental Emission Test   Conventional approach requires 13 separate measurements, which can reduce repeatability, especially with infrequent regeneration events   New " ramped modal" approach covers the same engine operating modes,

but connects them with gradual transition " ramps" that allow for a single measurement   Accuracy and repeatability are substantially improved   We and manufacturers strongly support this change Page 6 Aftertreatment Shipment   We are considering a provision to allow manufacturers to ship aftertreatment separately to truck builders   We adopted this for nonroad diesel engines for Tier 4   Manufacturers are eager do this also for highway engines, but are concerned with a restriction we adopted for nonroad engines   Engine manufacturer must include the cost of aftertreatment in the price of the engine   This removes the incentive for equipment manufacturers to ignore aftertreatment or skimp on quality   We recommend taking comment on the concept of separate shipment for highway engines to give ourselves flexibility to address it in the final rule if appropriate Page 7 Recreational Vehicles   To resolve a pending lawsuit from the Motorcycle Industry Council, we agreed to make several changes to the regulations:

  Clarify approach to defining exhaust and evaporative engine families   Clarify gas cap specifications for permeation testing   Clarify the sequence of permeation testing   Define " fuel line" to clear up ambiguous testing specification   Correct the equations defining advertised emission levels for consumer labels   Allow exhaust testing using raw gas sampling methods   Allow manufacturers to select a different maximum engine speed for testing Page 8 Other Program Adjustments   Independent Commercial Importers   Allow limited import of products subject to year of production standards   HD2007: allow flexible phase in for HD2007 rule   Manufacturers may base compliance on model year or calendar year   This addresses Cummins' concerns   Nonroad Diesel Tier 3: allow the same technical hardship provisions we adopted in Tier 4 final rule   This addresses Ingersoll Rand concerns   Nonroad Diesel Tier 4 and Recreational vehicles: require separate ABT accounting if states adopt separate standards   Consistent with previous programs   This will have no effect until California adopts standards   Adjusting maximum penalties to $ 32,500   Consistent with February 2004 OECA final rule
