SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. 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.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What Should I Consider when I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply
to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
companies under contract to EPA to provide certain services and whose
employees must have access to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
CBI to perform their duties.
    Title: Request for Contractor Access to TSCA CBI.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1250.08, OMB Control No. 2070-0075.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on August 31,
2007. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or

by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers
in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Certain employees of companies working under contract to
EPA require access to TSCA CBI collected under the authority of TSCA in
order to perform their official duties. The Office of Pollution
Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), which is responsible for maintaining the
security of TSCA confidential business information, requires that all
individuals desiring access to TSCA CBI obtain and annually renew
official clearance to TSCA CBI. As part of the process for obtaining
TSCA CBI clearance, OPPT requires certain information about the
contracting company and about each contractor employee requesting TSCA
CBI clearance, primarily the name, social security number and EPA
identification badge number of the employee, the type of TSCA CBI
clearance requested and the justification for such clearance, and the
signature of the employee to an agreement with respect to access to and
use of TSCA CBI.
    Responses to the collection of information are voluntary, but
failure to provide the requested information will prevent a contractor
employee from obtaining clearance to TSCA CBI. EPA will observe strict
confidentiality precautions with respect to the information collected
on individual employees, based on the Privacy Act of 1974, as outlined
in the ICR and in the collection instrument.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.6
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 28.
    Frequency of response: On occasion (one time only per individual
employee needing TSCA CBI clearance).
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
10.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 446 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $20,466. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $20,466 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?

    There is an increase of 31 hours in the total estimated respondent
burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase reflects an increase in the number of contractor
employees needing TSCA CBI clearance. This change is an adjustment.

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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document wherever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean the EPA.

I. Background

    Section 110 of the Act requires states to develop air pollution
regulations and control strategies to ensure that air quality meets the
EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). These ambient
standards are established under section 109 of the Act and they
currently address six criteria pollutants: Carbon monoxide, nitrogen
dioxide, ozone, lead, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. The
state's air regulations are contained in its SIP, which is basically a
clean air plan. Each state is responsible for developing SIPs to
demonstrate how the NAAQS will be achieved, maintained, and enforced.
The SIP must be submitted to the EPA for approval, and any changes a
state makes to the approved SIP also must be submitted to the EPA for
approval.
    Section 110(a)(2)(C) of the CAA requires states to develop and
submit to the EPA for approval into the SIP, preconstruction review and
permitting programs applicable to certain new and modified stationary
sources of air pollutants for attainment and nonattainment areas that
cover both major and minor new sources and modifications, collectively
referred to as the New Source Review (NSR) SIP. The CAA NSR SIP program
is composed of three separate programs: Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD), Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR), and Minor
NSR. The EPA codified minimum requirements for these State permitting
programs including public participation and notification requirements
at 40 CFR 51.160 through 51.164. Requirements specific to construction
of new stationary sources and major modifications in nonattainment
areas are codified in 40 CFR 51.165 for the NNSR program. Requirements
for permitting of new stationary sources and major modifications in
attainment areas subject to PSD, including additional public
participation requirements, are found at 40 CFR 51.166. As the EPA
updates its implementing rules for NSR, states and localities similarly
are required to update their SIP-approved rules to ensure consistency
with the minimum Federal NSR permitting requirements.
    On November 24, 2020, the EPA promulgated final revisions to the
applicability regulations of the major NSR permit programs. A two-step
applicability test is used in the PSD and NNSR programs to determine
whether a proposed project will be subject to major NSR requirements.
In Step 1 of the analysis, the applicant determines if the proposed
project would result in a significant emissions increase of a regulated
NSR pollutant. If there is a significant emissions increase, the
applicant proceeds to Step 2 and determines if there is a significant
net emissions increase. In the November 24, 2020, final rule, the EPA
clarified that emissions increases and decreases associated with the
proposed project could be used in Step 1 of the applicability test;
this is known as project emissions accounting (PEA). The clarifications
made to the PSD and NNSR programs are not required elements of the
Federal program. States with SIP-approved PSD and NNSR programs that
want to use PEA in PSD and NNSR applicability tests must either
determine that the state is able to interpret the existing state rules
such that PEA is already allowed, or the state must adopt and submit a
revision to the SIP that is consistent with the PEA revisions.
    On July 9, 2021, the TCEQ submitted revisions to the Texas SIP that
update the Texas PSD and NNSR programs to allow for PEA consistent with
the EPA's November 24, 2020, final rule at 85 FR 74890. The July 9,
2021, submittal also included the repeal of obsolete provisions from
the Texas permitting program.

II. The EPA's Evaluation

    The accompanying Technical Support Document for this action
includes a detailed analysis of the submitted revisions to the Texas
SIP which are the subject of this proposed rulemaking. Our analysis
indicates that the July 9, 2021, SIP revision was developed in
accordance with the CAA and the State provided reasonable notice and
public hearing.

A. Evaluation of Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.12--Nonattainment and
Prevention of Significant Deterioration Review Definitions

    The TCEQ submitted revisions to the definition of ``Project
emissions increase'' at 30 TAC Section 116.12(32) to implement the PEA.
The revisions are consistent with the EPA's November 24, 2020, final
rule at 85 FR 74890. As stated above, the EPA's implementing
regulations for NSR establish a two-step process for determining major
NSR applicability for projects at stationary sources. Under Step 1 of
the applicability determination, the project itself is analyzed to
determine if there is a significant emissions increase of the project.
In our November 24, 2020, final rule the EPA clarified that this Step 1
analysis may consider the increases and decreases associated with the
project. If the Step 1 analysis determines there is a significant
emissions increase, then the applicant proceeds to Step 2 of the
applicability determination whereby the applicant must perform
contemporaneous netting and account for the project emission increases
and the emission increases and decreases attributable to other projects
at the stationary source within the contemporaneous window to determine
if there is a significant net emissions increase. The effect of the
revisions to the Texas definition is that for purposes of determining
whether a source or modification is major for PSD or NNSR permitting,
the Step 1 analysis of the project itself will include increases and
decreases associated with the project to determine if the project
results in a ``significant emissions increase'', as required under 30
TAC Section 116.12(32)(D). If there is an increase, the second step of
the applicability process is to determine if there is a ``significant
net emissions increase''. Step 2 of the applicability determination is
unchanged by the submitted SIP revision.

B. Evaluation of Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.150--New Major Source
or Major Modification in Ozone Nonattainment Areas

    The submitted revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.150(c)(1) and (c)(2)
are necessary to maintain consistency with the EPA's final rule on
November 24, 2020, to show that project emissions increase will include
project related increases and decreases. These revisions work in
connection with the revised definition of ``project emissions
increase'' at 30 TAC Section 116.12(32). The TCEQ also submitted non-
substantive edits to 30 TAC Section 116.150(a), (b), and (c) to correct
non-substantive, grammar-related provisions.

C. Evaluation of Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.151--New Major Source
or Major Modification in Nonattainment Area Other Than Ozone

    The submitted revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.151(b) are necessary
to maintain consistency with the EPA's final rule on November 24, 2020,
to show that project emissions increase will include project related
increases and decreases. These revisions work in connection with the
revised definition of ``project emissions increase'' at 30 TAC Section
116.12(32).

D. Evaluation of Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.160--Prevention of
Significant Deterioration

    The submitted revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.160(b)(1) and (b)(2)
are

necessary to maintain consistency with the EPA's final rule on November
24, 2020, to show that project emissions increase will include project
related increases and decreases. These revisions work in connection
with the revised definition of ``project emissions increase'' at 30 TAC
Section 116.12(32).

III. Proposed Action

    Pursuant to section 110 of the Act, we are proposing to approve the
submitted revisions to the Texas SIP that update the PSD and NNSR
permitting requirements to maintain consistency with the Federal NSR
program requirements by adopting the provisions for PEA and repeal
obsolete requirements. Our analysis found that the submitted revisions
are consistent with the CAA and the EPA's regulations, policy and
guidance for permitting SIP requirements. The EPA is proposing approval
of the following revisions adopted on June 9, 2021, effective on July
1, 2021, submitted to the EPA on July 9, 2021:
     Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.12--Nonattainment and
Prevention of Significant Deterioration Review Definitions,
     Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.150--New Major Source or
Major Modification in Ozone Nonattainment Areas,
     Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.151--New Major Source or
Major Modification in Nonattainment Area Other than Ozone, and
     Revisions to 30 TAC Section 116.160--Prevention of
Significant Deterioration.

IV. Environmental Justice Considerations

    The EPA reviewed demographic data, which provides an assessment of
individual demographic groups of the populations living within
Texas.\1\ The EPA then compared the data to the national average for
each of the demographic groups. The results of this analysis are being
provided for informational and transparency purposes. The results of
the demographic analysis indicate that, for populations within Texas,
the percent people of color (persons who reported their race as a
category other than White alone (not Hispanic or Latino)) is less than
the national average (40.3 percent versus 59.3 percent). Within people
of color, the percent of the population that is Black or African
American alone is lower than the national average (13.2 percent versus
13.4 percent) and the percent of the population that is American
Indian/Alaska Native is lower than the national average (1.1 percent
versus 1.3 percent). The percent of the population that is Hispanic or
Latino is significantly higher than the national average (40.2 percent
versus 18.9 percent). The percent of the population that is two or more
races is lower than the national averages (2.2 percent versus 2.9
percent). The percent of persons in poverty in Texas is higher than the
national average (14.2 percent versus 11.6 percent). The percent of
persons aged 25 years and older with a high school diploma in Texas is
slightly lower than the national average (84.4 percent versus 88.5
percent), and the percent with a Bachelor's degree or higher is below
the national average (30.7 percent versus 32.9 percent).

_____________________________________-

    This action proposes to approve revisions to the Texas PSD and NNSR
programs, consistent with the Federal permitting programs. Final
approval of these revisions to the Texas permit programs will continue
to enable the State of Texas to implement control strategies and
permitting programs. Further, there is no information in the record
indicating that this action is expected to have disproportionately high
or adverse human health or environmental effects on a particular group
of people.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this action, we are proposing to include in a final rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are proposing to incorporate by
reference revisions to the Texas regulations as described in Section
III of this preamble, Proposed Action. We have made, and will continue
to make, these documents generally available electronically through
www.regulations.gov (please contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information).

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
The EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' The EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    The air agency did not evaluate environmental justice
considerations as

part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing
regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA
performed an environmental justice analysis, as is described above in
the section titled, ``Environmental Justice Considerations.'' The
analysis was done for the purpose of providing additional context and
information about this rulemaking to the public, not as a basis of the
action. In addition, there is no information in the record upon which
this decision is based inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898
of achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-income
populations, and Indigenous peoples.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; M7 Aerospace LLC Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
M7 Aerospace LLC Models SA226-AT, SA226-T, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, SA227-
AC (C-26A), SA227-AT, SA227-BC (C-26A), SA227-CC, SA227-DC (C-26B),
SA227-TT, SA26-AT, and SA26-T airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted
by reports of airplanes with multiple fatigue cracks in the FS 69.31
front pressure bulkhead. This proposed AD would require repetitively
inspecting (visually) the FS 51.31 front pressure bulkhead on SA26
series airplanes and FS 69.31 front pressure bulkhead on SA226 and
SA227 series airplanes for cracks, and repairing any cracked bulkhead.
This proposed AD also requires reporting certain inspection results to
M7 Aerospace LLC. We are proposing this AD to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 7,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2013-1057;
Directorate Identifier 2013-CE-041-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received reports of two M7 Aerospace LLC Model SA227 airplanes
with multiple fatigue cracks in the FS 69.31 front pressure bulkhead.
The cracks are located in the radii of the left-hand and right-hand
part number 27-21027 frames. The cracks were discovered by maintenance
personnel after the flight crew reported trouble maintaining normal
cabin pressure. The root cause for multiple site fatigue cracking is
the normal ground-air-ground pressure cycles.

    This unsafe condition, if not corrected, could result in cabin
depressurization.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed M7 Aerospace LLC SA26 Series Service Bulletin 26-53-001
R1; SA226 Series Service Bulletin 226-53-017 R1; SA227 Series Service
Bulletin 227-53-011 R1; and SA227 Series Commuter Category Service
Bulletin CC7-53-007 R1, all revised November 6, 2013. The service
information describes procedures for repetitively inspecting (visually)
the FS 51.31 front pressure bulkhead on SA26 series airplanes and FS
69.31 front pressure bulkhead on SA226 and SA227 series airplanes for
cracks, and, if any crack damage is found, reporting and repairing any
cracked bulkhead.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously. This proposed AD also
requires sending the inspection results to M7 Aerospace LLC.
    Operators who had the initial inspection and resulting repairs
accomplished using procedures different from the M7 Aerospace LLC
service information required by this AD action may apply for an
alternative method of compliance (AMOC) following the instructions in
paragraph (m) of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 360 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                                     Estimated Costs

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been
detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and
includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting
associated with this proposed AD would be mandatory. Comments
concerning the accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the
burden should be directed to the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW.,
Washington, DC 20591. ATTN: Information Collection Clearance Officer,
AES-200.

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 proposed 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 determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release 5.0 acres of airport property at the Malden Regional
Airport & Industrial Park (MAW) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.
47107(h)(2). This is a Surplus Property Airport. The City of Malden
requested a release from the FAA to sell the 5.0 acre tract. The buyer,
S and S Trucking and Transportation LLC will use the land for
development. The FAA determined this request to release and sell
property at the Malden Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW)
submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the FAA
and the release and sale of the property does not and will not impact
future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA may approve the request,
in whole or in part, no sooner

than thirty days after the publication of this notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The Malden Regional Airport & Industrial Park (MAW) is proposing
the release and sale of airport property containing 5.0 acres. The
release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation
Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired
airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the
subject property will result in the land at the Malden Regional Airport
& Industrial Park (M) being changed from aeronautical to non-
aeronautical use and release the lands from the conditions of the
Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement Grant Assurances in order
to sell the land. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and
(iii), the airport will receive fair market value for the property,
which will be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport
improvement project for general aviation use.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In
addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the application in person at the Malden City Hall.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO, on July 22, 2020.
Jim A. Johnson,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.

Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The ICR, entitled: ``Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure
Requirements'' and identified by EPA ICR No. 1710.07 and OMB Control
No. 2070-0151, represents the renewal of an existing ICR that is
scheduled to expire on April 30, 2015. Before submitting the ICR to OMB
for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects
of the proposed information collection that is summarized in this
document. The ICR and accompanying material are available in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)),
EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. 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.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply
to?

    Title: Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Disclosure Requirements.
    ICR number: 1710.07.
    OMB control number: 2070-0151.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on April 30,
2015. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after
appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers
for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 1018 of the Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4852d) requires that sellers and
lessors of most residential housing built before 1978 disclose known
information on the presence of lead based paint and lead based paint
hazards, and provide an EPA approved pamphlet to purchasers and renters
before selling or leasing the housing. Sellers of pre-1978 housing are
also required to provide prospective purchasers with ten days to
conduct an inspection or risk assessment for lead based paint hazards
before obligating purchasers under contracts to purchase the property.
The rule does not apply to rental housing that has been found to be
free of lead-based paint, zero-bedroom dwellings, housing for the
elderly, housing for the handicapped, or short term leases. The
affected parties and the information collection-related requirements
related to each are described below:
    1. Sellers of pre-1978 housing must attach certain notification and
disclosure language to their sales/leasing contracts. The attachment
lists the information disclosed and a statement of compliance by the
seller, purchaser and any agents involved in the transaction.
    2. Lessors of pre-1978 housing must attach notification and
disclosure language to their leasing contracts. The attachment, which
lists the information disclosed and a statement of compliance with all
elements of the rule, must be signed by the lessor, lessee and any
agents acting on their behalf. Agents and lessors must retain the
information for three years from the completion of the transaction.
    3. Agents acting on behalf of sellers or lessors are specifically
required by Section 1018 to comply with the disclosure regulations
described above.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR 745, Subpart F, and 24 CFR 35, Subpart H). Respondents may claim
all or part of a notice confidential. EPA will disclose information
that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent
permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14
and 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.14
hours per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related
materials, provides a detailed explanation of the collection activities
and the burden estimate that is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR are persons engaged in selling or leasing certain residential
dwellings built before 1978, or who are real estate agents representing
such parties.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 39,645,600.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
1.1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 6,467,176 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $125,683,576. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $125,683,576 and an estimated cost of $0 for
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

III. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 470,154 hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects a gradual reduction in the
annual number of real estate sales involving target housing subject to
the rule's requirements and an overall decrease in real estate sales.
There has also been a notable decrease in the overall growth of the
real estate agent profession which reduces the number of new entrants
who have start-up burden and cost related to this ICR activity. While
the number of property rentals increased over the past year, fewer
parties are involved in those transactions so the increases in the
rental market were not enough to offset the decrease in the sales
market in terms of burden and cost related to this ICR. This change is
an adjustment.

IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

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

    Abstract: This ICR is for voluntary information collections under
the National Fish Program. These information collections would help EPA
advance equitable and effective fish advisory programs that protect
recreational and subsistence fishers and other underserved populations
from consumption of contaminated fish. This information is collected
under the authority of section 104 of the Clean Water Act, which
provides for the collection of information to be used to protect human
health and the environment. The information to be collected on a
voluntary basis would include the following: Fish advisory information
and fish tissue data collected to assist in making advisory decisions;
state or tribal fish program information for the National Fish Advisory
Program Evaluation; and, technical program information from

time to time. EPA would analyze the information to determine what
science, guidance, technical assistance, and nationwide information are
needed to help state and tribes have equitable and effective fish
advisory programs. In addition, EPA would also use the information
provided to facilitate information sharing and to ensure guidance
documents are useful and technically accurate.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: The 50 states, the District of
Columbia, the five territories, authorized tribes with EPA-approved
water quality standards (WQS), and the Great Lakes Indian Fish and
Wildlife Commission.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (Clean Water Act,
Section 104)
    Estimated number of respondents: Up to 103 (total).
    Frequency of response: Once in 3-year period for some collections;
periodically for one collection.
    Total estimated burden: 1,185 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $65,268.77 (per year), includes $6,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 607 hours in the
total estimated annual respondent burden compared with the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to EPA's efforts to
advance equity and environmental justice in fish advisory programs. EPA
is adding information collections to help EPA determine what science,
guidance, technical assistance, and nationwide information are needed
to help state and tribes have equitable and effective fish advisory
programs that protect recreational and subsistence fishers and other
underserved populations from consumption of contaminated fish. In
addition, EPA will also use the information provided to facilitate
information sharing and to ensure guidance documents are useful and
technically accurate. The increase pertains to the addition of three
voluntary information collections as part of implementing the EPA
national advisory program: Information on state and tribal fish
advisories; state and tribal program information for the National Fish
Advisory Program Evaluation; and, technical program information from
time to time.
