14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0394; Product Identifier 2017-NE-36-AD; Amendment
39-19784; AD 2019-22-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-23-
06, for certain General Electric Company (GE) CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34-
8C5A1, and CF34-8C5B1 engines. AD 2017-23-06 required an inspection of
the bleed air manifold link rod assemblies and the supply, return, and
drain fuel fittings on the operability bleed valve (OBV). This AD
requires repetitive inspections of the OBV fuel tubes, OBV bleed air
manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings and replacement
of OBVs or related hardware that fail inspection. In addition, this AD
expands the applicability of these inspections to include additional GE
CF34-8C model turbofan engines. This AD was prompted by multiple engine
fires that have occurred as a result of malfunctions related to the
OBV. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 23, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 23,
2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-23-06, Amendment 39-19100 (82 FR
52830, November 15, 2017), (``AD 2017-23-06''). AD 2017-23-06 applied
to certain GE CF34-8C1, CF34-8C5, CF34-8C5A1, and CF34-8C5B1 engines.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on June 28, 2019 (84 FR
30956). The NPRM was prompted by multiple engine fires that have
occurred as a result of malfunctions related to the OBV. The NPRM
proposed to require repetitive inspections of the OBV fuel tubes, OBV
bleed air manifold link rod assemblies, and the OBV fuel fittings and
replacement of OBVs or related hardware that fail inspection. In
addition, the NPRM proposed to expand the applicability of these
inspections to include additional GE CF34-8C model turbofan engines.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Comments

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

Request To Change the Inspection Intervals

    GE requested that the FAA extend the initial and repetitive
inspection intervals to 16,000 flight hours (FHs) and 1,680 FHs,
respectively, for engines equipped with OBV part number (P/N)
4123T71P05. GE reasoned that based on testing and analysis, OBV P/N
4123T71P05 is more resistant to wear than OBV P/N 4123T71P04, and
earlier versions, if the installation support links are regularly
inspected and maintained.
    The FAA disagrees with extending the inspection intervals for
engines equipped with OBV P/N 4123T71P05 because the FAA did not find
GE's test and analysis data sufficient to justify the extended
inspection intervals. The FAA did not change this AD.

Request To Update the Applicability

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) supported this AD
and requested that the FAA consider similar rulemaking to include the
GE CF34-8E model turbofan engines. The NTSB suggested that the unsafe
condition exists on this engine and that the FAA should identify the
higher-risk OBVs and publish an AD that mandates a repetitive
inspection for the GE CF34-8E OBVs.
    The FAA agrees to consider future rulemaking for the GE CF34-8E
model turbofan engines because those engines have experienced the same
unsafe condition addressed by the engine

models of this AD. The FAA did not change this AD.

Support for the AD

    The Air Line Pilots Association International and an individual
commenter expressed support for the AD as written.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this AD as proposed except for minor editorial
changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed GE Service Bulletin (SB) CF34-8C S/B 75-0020, R04,
dated May 10, 2019. The SB describes procedures for inspecting the
bleed air manifold link rod assemblies; the supply, return, and drain
fuel fittings; and the fuel tubes on the OBV. This service information
is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1,297 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might need these replacements:

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.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA has determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65806; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2011-88]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Increase From 20
to 30 the Number of Short Term Options Series That May Be Opened for
Each Option Class That Participates in the Exchange's Short Term Option
Series Program

November 22, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on November 18, 2011, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``NYSE

(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have

been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed the proposal as a
``non-controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\4\ The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .07 to NYSE Arca Options
Rule 6.4 to increase the number of Short Term Options Series that may
be opened for each option class that participates in the Exchange's
Short Term Option Series Program (``Program'') from 20 series to 30
series. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the
Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room, http://www.nyse.com,
and http://www.sec.gov.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Commentary .07 to NYSE Arca Options
Rule 6.4 to increase the number of Short Term Options Series that may
be opened for each option class that participates in the Program from
20 series to 30 series.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ On July 12, 2005, the Commission approved the Program on a
pilot basis. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52013 (July 12,
2005), 70 FR 41471 (July 19, 2005) (SR-PCX-2005-32). The Program was
expanded and made permanent on June 23, 2010. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 62369 (June 23, 2010), 75 FR 37868 (June
30, 2010) (SR-NYSEArca-2010-59).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Program is codified in NYSE Arca Options Rule 6.4 and
Commentary .07 thereto. This rule text provides that, after an option
class has been approved for listing and trading on the Exchange, the
Exchange may open for trading on any Thursday or Friday that is a
business day (``Short Term Option Opening Date'') series of options on
no more than five (5) classes \6\ that expire on the next Friday that
is a business day (``Short Term Option Expiration Date'').\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ In addition to the five-option class restriction, the
Exchange also may list Short Term Option Series on any option
classes that are selected by other securities exchanges that employ
a similar program under their respective rules.
    \7\ If the Exchange is not open for business on the respective
Thursday or Friday that is a business day, the Short Term Option
Opening Date will be the first business day immediately prior to
that respective Thursday or Friday. Similarly, if the Exchange is
not open for business on the Friday of the following business week,
the Short Term Option Expiration Date will be the first business day
immediately prior to that Friday. Short Term Option Series are P.M.-
settled, except for Short Term Option Series on indexes, which are
A.M.-settled. No Short Term Option Series may expire in the same
week in which monthly or Quarterly Option Series on the same class
expire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The strike price of each Short Term Option Series will be fixed at
a price per share, with approximately the same number of strike prices
being opened above and below the value of the underlying security (or,
in the case of index options, the calculated value of the index) at
about the time that the Short Term Option Series are initially opened
for trading on the Exchange (e.g., if seven series are initially
opened, there will be at least three strike prices above and three
strike prices below the value of the underlying security). Any strike
prices listed by the Exchange must be within thirty percent (30%) above
or below the closing price of the underlying security from the
preceding day. The Exchange is not proposing any changes to these
additional Program limitations.
    The principal reason for the proposed expansion is market demand
for additional Short Term Option Series in classes included in the
Program in which the maximum number of series (20) has already been
reached. Specifically, the Exchange has observed increased demand for
additional Short Term Option Series when market-moving events, such as
corporate events and large price swings, have occurred during the
lifespan of an affected class included in the Program.
    Currently, in order to be able to respond to market demand, the
Exchange is forced to delist certain Short Term Option Series in order
to make room for higher-demand Short Term Option Series.\8\ The
Exchange finds this method to be problematic for two reasons. First,
the Exchange has received requests to maintain certain Short Term
Option Series that it intends to delist to make room for higher-demand
Short Term Option Series. While market participants may often access
other markets for the delisted Short Term Option Series, the Exchange
would prefer to provide market participants with their preferred choice
of markets on which to trade--NYSE Arca. Second, this method can lead
to competitive disadvantages among exchanges. If one exchange is
actively responding to market demand by delisting and adding series and
another exchange is the last to delist the less desirable series with
open interest, then that exchange is required to maintain those series
and is potentially unable to list the in-demand Short Term Option
Series (because to do so could result in more than 20 Short Term Option
Series being listed on that exchange). As a result, the Exchange
believes that the maximum number of Short Term Option Series per class
of options that participates in the Program should be increased to 30
so that exchanges can list the full panoply of Short Term Option Series
that other exchanges list and that the market demands.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ The Exchange delists Short Term Option Series with no open
interest regardless of whether those series are open for trading on
another exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To effect this change, the Exchange is proposing to amend
Commentary .07 to NYSE Arca Options Rule 6.4. Specifically, the
Exchange is proposing to limit the initial number of Short Term Option
Series that may be opened for trading to 20 series and to limit the
number of additional Short Term Option Series that may be opened for
trading to 10 series.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Short Term Option Series must be added pursuant to the
existing listing parameters set forth in Commentary .07 to NYSE Arca
Options Rule 6.4. Initial Short Term Option Series must be within
30% above or below the closing price of the underlying security on
the preceding day. Any additional strike prices listed by the
Exchange must be within 30% above or below the current price of the
underlying security. The Exchange may also open additional strike
prices of Short Term Option Series that are more than 30% above or
below the current price of the underlying security provided that
demonstrated customer interest exists for such series, as expressed
by institutional, corporate or individual customers or their
brokers. Market-Makers trading for their own account are not
considered when determining customer interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With regard to the impact of this proposal on system capacity, the
Exchange has analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the
Options Price Reporting Authority (``OPRA'') have the necessary systems
capacity to handle the potential additional traffic associated with
trading of an expanded number of Short Term Option Series for classes
that participate in the Program.
    The Exchange believes that the Program has provided investors with

greater trading opportunities and flexibility and the ability to more
closely tailor their investment and risk management strategies and
decisions. Therefore, the Exchange requests a modest expansion of the
current Program. It is expected that other options exchanges that have
adopted a similar program will submit similar proposals.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
``Act''),\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, because it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The
Exchange believes that expanding the number of Short Term Option Series
per option class eligible to participate in the Program will allow the
investing public and other market participants to better manage their
risk exposure, and would benefit investors by giving them more
flexibility to closely tailor their investment decisions in a greater
number of securities. While the expansion of the Program will generate
additional quote traffic, the Exchange does not believe that this
increased traffic will become unmanageable since the proposal is
limited to a fixed number of series per class. Further, the Exchange
does not believe that the proposal will result in a material
proliferation of additional series because it is limited to a fixed
number of series per class and the Exchange does not believe that the
additional price points will result in fractured liquidity.

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

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest, does not
impose any significant burden on competition, and, by its terms, does
not become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed,
or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \12\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the
Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The
Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Commission believes that waiver of the operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest because the proposal is substantially similar to that of
another exchange that has been approved by the Commission.\14\
Therefore, the Commission designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65772 (November 17,
2011) (SR-CBOE-2011-086) (order approving expansion of Short Term
Option Program).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

BILLING CODE 8011-01-P


1 PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT 1. Identification of the Information Collection ( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection.

" Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing NESHAP." This is a new ICR and the EPA tracking number is 2003.02.

( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract.

Potential respondents are owners or operators of integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant ( HAP) emissions. The final rule applies to existing and new sinter plants, blast furnaces, and basic oxygen process furnace ( BOPF) shops at these facilities.

Emission limits for particulate matter and/ or opacity limits,

which act as surrogates for individual metallic HAP, are established for six types of discharge points. Operating limits are also required for certain capture systems and control devices. The rule also includes an operating limit for the oil content of the sinter plant feedstock to reduce organic HAP. As an alternative, a facility may choose to monitor emissions of volatile organic compounds instead of oil content.

Plants are required to conduct a performance test to demonstrate initial compliance with each emission and opacity limit and establish operating limits for capture systems and control devices. A performance test is also required to 2 demonstrate compliance with the operating limit on the oil content of sinter plant feedstock or for volatile organic compounds.

Consistent with State rules, repeat performance tests ( twice during a permit term) are required to demonstrate continuous compliance. Plants must also monitor operating parameters for certain capture systems and control devices using continuous parameter monitoring systems and/ or continuous opacity monitoring systems. A continuous opacity monitoring system is required only if an electrostatic precipitator is used as the control device.

Plants must also perform inspections and maintenance specified included in their written operation and maintenance plan for capture systems, control devices. Inspection and maintenance requirements also are required for each type of monitoring system. To demonstrate continuous compliance with the sinter plant operating limit, plants must sample the oil content of the feedstock daily and compute the 30 day rolling average.

Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions, all respondents are also required to prepare and operate by a startup, shutdown,

and malfunction plan.

Respondents must submit one time notifications as required by the NESHAP General Provisions and semiannual compliance reports explaining any deviation. An immediate report is required if actions taken in response to the startup, shutdown,

or malfunction were not consistent with the written startup, 3 shutdown, and malfunction plan. Respondents must maintain records of specific information to ensure that the emission limitations and requirements are being achieved and maintained.

These requirements are listed in Attachment 1.

2. Need For and Use of the Collection ( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection.

The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) is charged under section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish NESHAP for new or existing major sources or area sources that reflect:

... the maximum degree of reduction in emissions of [ HAPs] that is achievable taking into consideration the cost of achieving the emission reduction, any nonair quality health and environmental reduction, and energy requirements. [ section 112( d)( 2)]

This level of control is commonly referred to as the maximum achievable control technology ( MACT). Certain records and reports are necessary for the Administrator to: ( 1) confirm the compliance status of major sources, identify any non major sources not subject to the standards, and identify new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards; and ( 2) ensure that the MACT standards are being achieved. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of the Act ( 42 U. S. C. 7414) and set out in the NESHAP General Provisions.

( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data. 4 The information will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to: ( 1) identify major sources and new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards, ( 2) ensure that MACT is being properly applied, and ( 3) ensure that the emission control devices are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous basis.

Based on the reported information, EPA can decide which plants,

records, or processes should be inspected.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria ( a) Nonduplication.

A computer search of the Federal Information Locator System indicated that there are no similar information requests being carried out by the Federal government. A similar search of EPA's ongoing ICR's revealed no duplication of information gathering efforts. Certain reports required by State or local agencies may duplicate information required by the rule. In such cases, a copy of the report submitted to the State or local agency can be provided to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by this rule.

( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB.

This section is not applicable because this is a rulerelated ICR. 5 ( c) Consultations.

This rule was developed in consultation with State and local agencies, EPA regional office experts, individual iron and steel plants, and their trade association. The non EPA persons consulted prior to proposal of the standards are identified in Table 1.

TABLE 1. PERSONS CONSULTED ON THE PROPOSED INFORMATION COLLECTION ACTIVITIES Contact Organization Telephone Number Bruce Steiner American Iron and Steel Institute 202 452 7100 Don Kuh Indiana Department of Environmental Management 317 233 6866 ( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

If the relevant information were collected less frequently,

EPA would not be reasonably assured that a plant is in compliance with the standards.

( e) General Guidelines.

None of the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6 are being exceeded.

( f) Confidentiality.

All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 28,

1978; 43 FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23,

1979).

( g) Sensitive Questions.

This section is not applicable because this ICR does not 6 involve matters of a sensitive nature.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested ( a) Respondents/ SIC Codes.

A total of 18 iron and steel manufacturing facilities in 10 States operated in 2002; we believe most of these facilities are major sources that would be subject to the rule requirements.

The SIC code for the respondents is 3312; the NAIC code is 331111.

( b) Information Requested.

( i) Data Items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements.

Attachment 1, Source Data and Information Requirements,

summarizes the recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

( ii) Respondent Activities. The respondent activities required by the rule are identified in Table 2 and introduced in section 6( a).

5. The Information Collected   Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management ( a) Agency Activities.

A list of Agency activities is provided in Table 3 and introduced in section 6( c).

( b) Collection Methodology and Management.

This is not relevant to this information collection request.

( c) Small Entity Flexibility.

A small entity for this industry is defined as a firm having no more than 1,000 employees. None of the 18 integrated iron and steel facilities are small entities. However, our economic analysis shows that no facility is at risk of closure as a result of the rule. The rule provides a maximum degree of operational flexibility, and the ICR requirements are the minimum necessary to demonstrate compliance. Affected plants have 3 years to demonstrate compliance and the Administrator or permitting authority may grant 1 additional year if more time is needed to 7 install controls.

( d) Collection Schedule.

Information contained in the one time only reports will be entered into the Compliance Data System operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. Data obtained during periodic visits by Agency personnel from records maintained by the respondents will be tabulated and published for internal EPA use in enforcement and compliance programs. A schedule for collection of information and publication of data is not applicable because reports are triggered by action of the respondents.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden.

The information burden estimates for reporting and recordkeeping are presented in Table 2. These numbers were derived from estimates based on EPA's experience with other standards.

( b) Estimating Respondent Costs.

The information collection activities for the rule are presented in Table 2. Because much of the data are already collected by respondents or required by existing law, minimal respondent development costs are associated with the information collection activities for the rule.

( i) Estimating Labor Costs. Labor rates and associated costs are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS) data.

Technical, management, and clerical average hourly rates for civilian workers were taken from the March 2002 Employment Cost Trends ( http:// stats. bls. gov/ news. release/ ecec. t02. htm). Wages for civilian workers ( white collar occupations) are used as the basis for the labor rates with a total compensation of $ 28.49/ hour for technical, $ 42.20/ hour for managerial, and $ 18.41/ hour for clerical. These rates represent salaries plus 8 fringe benefits and do not include the cost of overhead. An overhead rate of 110 percent is used to account for these costs.

The fully burdened wage rates used to represent respondent labor costs are: technical at $ 59.83, management at $ 88.62, and clerical at $ 38.66.

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance ( O& M)

Costs. As shown in Table 2, the estimate of capital and operations and maintenance costs is $ 64,300 per year.

( iii) Capital/ Startup vs. O& M Costs. The estimate of capital/ startup costs versus O& M costs is shown in Table 2. The annual O& M cost over the 3 year period of this ICR is $ 22,300.

( iv) Annualizing Capital Costs. Table 2 shows an estimate of the annualized cost of capital to be $ 42,000 per year.

( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

Because the information collection requirements were developed as an incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to the development of the information collection requirements. Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents are required under the General Provisions for the MACT standards, no operational costs will be incurred by the Federal Government. Publication and distribution of the information are part of the Compliance Data System, with the result that no Federal costs can be directly attributed to the ICR. Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part of EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program, and, therefore, is not attributable to the ICR. The only costs that the Federal government will incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the reported information, as presented in Table 3. Labor rates and associated costs for the Agency are assumed to be the same as the respondent's hourly rates. The Agency labor rates 9 are estimated as follows: technical at $ 59.83, management at $ 88.62, and clerical at $ 38.66.

( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs.

The EPA estimates that all 18 facilities will install the required monitoring equipment, conduct initial performance tests,

prepare startup, shutdown, and malfunction plans, and provide the one time notifications during the 3 year clearance period for this ICR. No semiannual compliance reports will be submitted during this 3 year period because plants do not have to comply until after the term of this ICR. Details on the number of respondents affected by each individual burden item are provided in the footnotes of Table 2. The total burden, provided in Table 2, is 4,772 hours; the estimated cost is $ 282,815 per year including technical, management, and clerical hours. The total cost given in Table 2, including the cost of labor, capital,

operation, and maintenance, is $ 347,115 per year.

( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

( i) Respondent tally. The bottom line respondent burden hours and costs, presented in Table 2, are calculated by adding person hours per year down each column for technical, managerial,

and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column. The total annual hours are 4,772 hours. The annualized cost of capital for monitoring devices is $ 42,000 averaged over the first 3 years of the ICR. This is based on an equipment lifetime of 5 years, an interest rate of 7 percent, and a capital recovery factor of 0.1424. Operation and maintenance costs ( excluding any labor hours given in the labor burden estimate) are estimated at $ 22,300 per year averaged over the 3 year period.

( ii) The Agency tally. The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs, presented in Table 3, are calculated as in the respondent table, by adding person hours per year down each 10 column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column. In this case, total cost is the sum of this total salary cost and total travel expenses for tests attended. The total annual hours are 73. The total annual cost is $ 4,860.

( iii) Variations in the annual bottom line. This section does not apply since no significant variation is anticipated.

( f) Reasons for Change in Burden.

This section does not apply because this is a new ICR.

( g) Burden Statement The average annual respondent burden per facility is estimated at 265 hours. 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; 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.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public 11 docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OAR 2002 0083, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket in the EPA Docket Center ( EPA/ DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC.

a community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having
in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in
the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS report are used
by insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for buildings and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: The date of September 18, 2020 has been established for the FIRM
and, where applicable, the supporting FIS report showing the new or
modified flood hazard information for each community.

ADDRESSES: The FIRM, and if applicable, the FIS report containing the
final flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below and will be available online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov by the date indicated above.

modified flood hazard information for each community listed.
Notification of these changes has been published in newspapers of local
circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication. The Deputy
Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has resolved any
appeals resulting from this notification.
    This final notice is issued in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR part
67. FEMA has developed criteria for floodplain management in floodprone
areas in accordance with 44 CFR part 60.
