90-DAY ESSENTIAL AIR SERVICE NOTICE OF

ALASKA SEAPLANE SERVICE, LLC

OF INTENT TO TERMINATE UNSUBSIDIZED SERVICE

AT PELICAN AND ELFIN COVE, ALASKA

Alaska Seaplane Service, LLC. Under 49 USC 41734 and 14 CFR 323.3(a)(5),
hereby gives notice of its intent to terminate all service at Pelican,
Alaska and Elfin Cove, Alaska, effective on or after May 13, 2002.
Additionally, Alaska Seaplane Service requests waiver of the 90-day
notice require to terminate unsubsidized air service.  In support
hereof, Alaska Seaplane Service respectfully states as follows:

Alaska Seaplane Service has its principal place of business at 8995
Yandukin Drive, Juneau, Alaska  99801, and its telephone number is (907)
789-7880.

Alaska Seaplane Service holds a certificate of public convenience and
necessity under 49 USC 41102, issued by Order 97-7-22, July 24, 1997 to
engage is schedule air transportation of person, property and mail
between points in the United States.

Alaska Seaplane Service currently provides six flights a week with a
small aircraft year around between the points Pelican and Elfin Cove and
the hub point Juneau, Alaska.

No other scheduled air service is provided at Pelican and Elfin Cove.

The Department of Transportation determined the level of Essential Air
Service at Pelican at six roundtrips per week year around, and at Elfin
Cove at one scheduled round trip per week plus five flag stop services
per week in the peak season, and five flag stop services per week in the
off-peak season (Essential Air Service Determinations for Alaska
Communities, April 1998).

There are no alternative services available at either if these points.

Because of the events of September 11, 2001, air traffic to and from
these points has fallen significantly.  The winter is the slowest season
of the year, but also the most costly because of the high rate of
flights that cannot be completed due to weather.  Immediate assistance
in the form of Essential Service subsidy is needed.

Under 14 CFR 323.10(a)(3), objections to this notice are due in 20 days,
or on February 5, 2002.

Proof of Service on all person specified in 14 CFR 323.7(a) is attached.

Respectfully submitted,

Craig Loken

General Manager

Alaska Seaplane Service, LLC

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

I hereby certify that I have this day served a copy of the foregoing
Notice of Intent of Alaska Seaplane Service, LLC upon all parties
required to be served by 14 CFR 323.7(a).

[Release No. 34-88458; File No. SR-MRX-2020-07]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq MRX, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Related to the
Removal of Obsolete Listing Rules

March 23, 2020.
    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 March 10, 2020, Nasdaq MRX, LLC (``MRX'' or ``Exchange'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Rules at Options 2, Options
Market Participants; Options 3, Section 2, Units of Trading and Meaning
of Premium Quotes and Orders; and Options 3, Section 3, Minimum Trading
Increments. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to add new sections at
General 9 and Options 4B and reserve those sections.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqmrx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal office
of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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 Exchange 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 these 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 aspects 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 MRX Rules at Options 2, Options
Market Participants; Options 3, Section 2, Units of Trading and Meaning
of Premium Quotes and Orders; and Options 3, Section 3, Minimum Trading
Increments. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to add new sections at
General 9 and Options 4B and reserve those sections. The various
proposed changes will be discussed below.
Mini Options
    The Exchange has not listed Mini Options in several years and is

proposing to delete Mini Options listing rules and other ancillary
trading rules related to the listing of Mini Options. The Exchange
notes that it has no open interest in Mini Options.
    Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend the following MRX
Rules related to Mini Options: Options 3, Section 2(c), Units of
Trading and Meaning of Premium Quotes and Orders; and Options 3,
Section 3, Minimum Trading Increments, at Supplementary Material .03.
The Exchange also proposes to re-letter Options 3, Section 2(b) as (c)
and renumber Options 3, Section 3 at Supplementary Material .04 as .03.
Foreign Currency Index
    The Exchange removed \3\ prior MRX Section 22, which was titled
``Rate-Modified Foreign Currency Options Rules'' and governed the
listing and trading of foreign currency options on MRX. At this time,
the Exchange is a reference that is no longer necessary within Options
3, Section 3, Minimum Trading Increments, at Supplementary Material
.02, because the product is not available to be listed on MRX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84790 (December 11,
2018), 83 FR 64612 (December 11, 2018) (SR-MRX-2018-38) (Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Delete
MRX Section 22 of the Rulebook).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rulebook Harmonization
    The Exchange recently harmonized its Rulebook in connection with
other Nasdaq affiliated markets. The Exchange proposes to reserve
sections General 9 and Options 4B and certain other rules \4\ within
the MRX Rulebook to represent the presence of rules in similar
locations in other Nasdaq affiliated Rulebooks (e.g. Nasdaq Phlx LLC)
\5\. The addition of these reserved sections will align the various
Nasdaq affiliated market Rulebooks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange proposes to reserve Options 2, Sections 11-14
and Options 6, Section 8-13.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88213 (February 14,
2020), 85 FR 9859 (February 20, 2020) (SR-Phlx-2020-03) (``Phlx
Rulebook Relocation Rule Change'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\6\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\7\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market
system, and, in general to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mini Options
    The Exchange's proposal to removal references to the listing and
handling of Mini Options is consistent with the Act because Mini
Options have not been listed in several years and thereby removing the
references to the rules would render the rules more accurate and reduce
potential investor confusion. Also, the Exchange notes that it has no
open interest in Mini Options. In the event that the Exchange desires
to list Mini Options in the future, it would file a rule change with
the Commission to adopt rules to list Mini Options.
Foreign Currency Index
    The Exchange's proposal to remove rules and references to the
listing and handling of Foreign Currency Indexes is consistent with the
Act because the listing rules for these products have been removed.
Also, the Exchange notes that it has no open interest in Foreign
Currency Indexes. In the event that the Exchange desires to list
Foreign Currency Indexes in the future, it would file a rule change
with the Commission.
Rulebook Harmonization
    The Exchange's proposal to reserve new sections at General 9 and
Options 4B within the Rulebook is a non-substantive amendment which
aligns the numbering across Nasdaq affiliated Rulebooks to provide
market participants with an ability to more readily locate rules.

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 not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Mini Options
    The Exchange's proposal to removal references to the listing and
handling of Mini Options does not impose an undue burden on
competition. Mini Options have not been listed in several years. Also,
the Exchange notes that it has no open interest in Mini Options.
Foreign Currency Index
    The Exchange's proposal to removal references to the listing and
handling of Foreign Currency Indexes does not impose an undue burden on
competition. Foreign Currency Indexes have not been listed in several
years. Also, the Exchange notes that it has no open interest in Foreign
Currency Indexes.
Rulebook Harmonization
    The Exchange's proposal to add reserved sections General 9 and
Options 4B to the Rulebook is a non-substantive amendment which aligns
the numbering across Nasdaq affiliated Rulebooks to provide market
participants with an ability to more readily locate rules.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
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)(iii) of the Act \8\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of its
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0169; Airspace Docket No. 21-ASO-3]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment Class D and Class E Airspace; South Florida

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D and Class E airspace in the south
Florida area, by updating the geographic coordinates of the following
airports; Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Miami-Opa
Locka Executive Airport, (formerly Opa Locka Airport), North Perry
Airport, Pompano Beach Airpark, Miami International Airport, Homestead
ARB, Boca Raton Airport, and Miami Executive Airport (formerly Kendall-
Tamiami Executive Airport). This action also updates the geographic
coordinates of the Fort Lauderdale Very High Frequency Omnidirectional
Range collocated with Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME), and the
QEEZY Locator Outer Marker (LOM). Furthermore, this action makes an
editorial change replacing the term Airport/Facility Directory with the
term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D
and E airspace. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules (IFR) in the area.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, January 27, 2022. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rule regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends Class D and Class E airspace in the south Florida area, to
support IFR operations in the area.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 33581, June 25, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0169 to
amend Class D and Class E airspace in the south Florida area, by
updating the names and geographic coordinates of several airports in
the area, as well as the geographical coordinates of the Fort
Lauderdale VOR/DME, and the QEEZY LOM. This action proposed making an
editorial change replacing the term Airport/Facility Directory with the
term Chart Supplement in the legal descriptions of associated Class D
and E airspace.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs 5000,
6002, 6003, and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July
21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in
this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    The FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class D and Class E
surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface by updating the geographical coordinates of several
airports and associated navigation aids in the south Florida area, and
removing Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class C
surface area. The FAA is updating the airport names of Miami Executive
Airport (formerly Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport), and Miami Opa-
Locka Executive Airport (formerly Opa Locka Airport), and Homestead ARB
(formerly Dade County-Homestead Regional Airport) in the Class D
airspace, Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface. The FAA is amending the Miami,
Opa Locka Executive Airport, FL Class D header, (formerly Miami, Opa
Locka Airport, FL as well. In addition, the FAA is replacing the
outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement
in the associated Class D and E airspace legal descriptions for these
airports. Also, Boca Raton Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface excludes the reference to Pompano Beach Class D
airspace, as this is unnecessary verbiage. These changes are necessary
for continued safety and management of IFR operations in the area.
    Subsequent to publication of the NPRM the FAA found that the Fort
Lauderdale E3 extensions are no longer required. This action removes
the E3 Descriptor for Fort Lauderdale.
    The Class D descriptor for Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport
incorrectly listed the airport runways as 8/26. This action corrects
the runways to 9/27.
    In addition, the Class D descriptor for Boca Raton Airport was
omitted from the NPRM. This action adds the Class D descriptor for Boca
Raton Airport, adding ``excluding that airspace within the Pompano
Beach, Class D airspace area, when active.''
    Finally, the NPRM listed the geographic coordinates incorrectly for
North Perry Airport, Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and the Boca
Raton Airport, as well as the line dividing Fort Lauderdale Executive
Airport and Pompano Beach Airport. This action corrects these errors.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only
affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

1. 	IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

1(a)	Title of the Information Collection

This ICR is entitled "Reporting Responsible Appliance Disposal Program,"
EPA ICR number 2254.01.

1(b)	Short Characterization

The 1987 international treaty, the Montreal Protocol on Substances that
Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol), established limits on total U.S.
production, import, and export of class I and class II controlled ozone
depleting substances (ODS) in an effort to ultimately eliminate ODS
emissions.  The 1990 U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments followed, setting
limits for the U.S. on production and consumption of controlled
substances and guidelines for their treatment that EPA must adhere to
and enforce.  Refrigerants, such as those used in old refrigerated
household appliances, are ODS and are regulated under Section 608 of the
1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (40 CFR Part 82 Subpart F).

In addition to ODS refrigerant, refrigerated household appliances may
also contain a variety of other substances that may be harmful to the
environment if not properly treated at equipment end of life.  These
include ODS foam blowing agents, used oil, PCBs, and/or mercury.  With
regards to the handling of household appliances at end-of-life, Federal
law requires that: (1) all refrigerant be recovered prior to dismantling
or disposal (40 CFR Part 82 Subpart F); and (2) universal waste (e.g.,
mercury), used oil, and PCBs be properly managed and stored (40 CFR
Parts 273, 279, 761).  State laws may have additional requirements. For
example, some States require that certain durable appliance materials be
recycled. At this time, no Federal or State laws require that ODS foam
blowing agent contained in appliances be removed and destroyed.
However, like refrigerants, ODS foam blowing agents are harmful to the
ozone layer when not properly recovered and destroyed/reclaimed.  ODS
foam blowing agents and refrigerants also have high global warming
potentials (GWPs); therefore, preventing their release to the
environment helps combat global climate change as well as the thinning
of the ozone layer.

	The Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) Program is a voluntary program
that promotes the proper handling of refrigerated household appliances
at the time of their disposal.  Although the handling of many appliance
components is regulated, reports have surfaced of illegal activities,
including appliance dumping, venting of refrigerant, and improper
treatment of hazardous components.  Moreover, the RAD Program requires
the removal and destruction/reclamation of ODS foam blowing agents that
are not covered under existing Federal regulations.

More specifically, through the RAD Program, EPA is partnering with
utilities, municipalities, retailers, manufacturers, and universities to
promote the proper disposal of old refrigerators, freezers, window air
conditioning units, and dehumidifiers, in order to prevent emissions of
ODS and GHG refrigerants and foam-blowing agents. The Program is also
expected to save landfill space, save energy used by older appliances,
lead to the recovery of valuable materials for use in making new
products (e.g., metals, plastics, glass), and prevent the release of
hazardous substances—including PCBs, mercury, and used oil. Additional
environmental benefits may also be achieved through the Program in the
form of reduced energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas
emissions, if Partner programs actively promote the retirement of old
appliances, to permanently remove energy inefficient units from the
electricity grid.

	As a benefit for joining, Partners can enjoy technical and logistical
support from EPA to help establish and implement responsible appliance
disposal programs, as well as public recognition for their efforts.
Participation in the program begins with completion of a Partnership
Agreement that outlines responsibilities of the RAD Partnership.  This
Partnership Agreement is a legal agreement between EPA and a utility,
municipality, retailer, manufacturer, or university.  By joining the
program, a Partner agrees to complete an annual reporting form
identifying the number and types of appliances handled and the fates of
their individual components.  If the reporting form is completed
electronically, it automatically generates feedback for the user on the
gross impact of their program in terms of ODS and GHG emissions avoided,
quantity of used oil/PCBs/mercury destroyed or recycled, energy savings
achieved, and consumer savings realized.  This agreement can be
terminated by either Party 20 days after the receipt of written notice
by the other Party with no penalties or continuing obligations.

2.	NEED FOR AND USE OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

2(a)	Need and Authority for the Collection

The Clean Air Act establishes the nation’s commitment to eliminating
emissions of ODS.  The RAD Program is an important action contributing
to the overall reduction of ODS emissions, specifically through the
assurance of ODS refrigerant and foam destruction or reclamation.  The
RAD Program also contributes to the overall reduction of greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions.  Authority for collection of the information described
in this ICR is provided in Section 608 of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments (40 CFR §82.166).

EPA has developed this ICR to obtain authorization to collect
information from Partners participating in the RAD Program.  By
participating in the program, a Partner agrees to the terms of various
information collections specified by EPA in the Partnership Agreement.
Specifically, Partners must submit the Partnership Agreement to EPA, as
well as an annual report that details the quantity of materials handled
by the Partner in their appliance recycling practice and how those
materials were handled.  From these reports, EPA will be able to
evaluate the overall impact of the RAD Program, including the quantity
of ODS emissions avoided.

2(b)	Practical Utility and Users of the Data

The Agency will use the Partnership Agreement to establish a framework
for a voluntary agreement with Partners in the Program.  EPA will use
information submitted in the annual reports to demonstrate that Partners
are reducing ODS emissions from appliance recycling operations.  EPA
also will use the information to determine (1) the types, number,
average age, and charge levels of refrigerated appliances collected by
recycling programs, (2) the ultimate fates of appliance components, (3)
the energy savings resulting from programs that offer an incentive for
removing old appliances from the electricity grid, (4) the amount of GHG
emissions avoided, (5) the amount of durable materials prevented from
being landfilled, and (6) the number of PCB-containing capacitors and
mercury switches properly disposed.  In addition, EPA will use the
information to publicize Partner and Program successes.

3.	NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

3(a)	Nonduplication

The information to be obtained under this ICR is not collected by any
other EPA program or Federal agency.  The information is not available
from other sources because it is proprietary information submitted by
industry sources.

3(b)	Public Notice Request Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, EPA issued a
public notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 45423) soliciting public
comments for a 60-day period ending August 14, 2007.  EPA received no
public comments on the ICR during the comment period.

3(c)	Consultations

In January of 2007, EPA consulted with stakeholders to obtain feedback
on the burdens and costs associated with the Partnership’s paperwork
activities.  EPA contacted the parties that had helped to create the
reporting form about its time requirements, and considered feedback from
existing partners about the time associated with completing the
Partnership Agreement and the annual reports.  After collecting this
feedback, EPA developed an average burden and cost estimate for each
respondent activity in this ICR and incorporated these estimates into
the ICR’s burden and cost calculations.  See Section 6 of this ICR for
these calculations.

3(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection

EPA requests that the Partner submit information on its appliance
recycling practices to the Agency once per year.  EPA believes that any
reduction in the frequency of this information collection would impede
efforts by EPA to evaluate results of this program.  Less frequent
collection of data would also place an undue burden on both EPA and
Partners to ensure accuracy of data.  For example, any one data
inaccuracy would be compounded by the greater time between actual data
collection and the efforts required to correct the historical
information.

3(e)	General Guidelines

This ICR adheres to the guidelines stated in the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, OMB's implementing regulations, OMB's Information Collection
Review Handbook, and other applicable OMB guidance.

3(f)	Confidentiality

EPA informs the respondents that they may assert claims of business
confidentiality for any of the information they submit.  Information
claimed as confidential will be treated in accordance with the
procedures for handling information claimed as confidential under 40 CFR
Part 2, Subpart B (“Confidentiality of Business Information”), and
will be disclosed only if EPA determines that the information is not
entitled to confidential treatment.  If no claim of confidentiality is
asserted when the information is received by EPA, it may be made
available to the public without further notice to the respondents (40
CFR §2.203).

3(g)	Sensitive Questions

No questions of a sensitive nature or of matters usually considered
private to individuals will be asked.

4.	THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED

4(b)	Information Requested

Partners participating in the RAD Program submit a Partnership Agreement
to the EPA.  The Partners also agree to submit the annual reporting form
that provides data on materials handled by the appliance recycling
program and calculates environmental benefits achieved through the
program.  Each of these information collections is described separately
below, along with the respective data items and respondent activities.

Partnership Agreement

A number of Partners worked with EPA to prepare the Partnership
Agreement establishing the terms of participation in the RAD Program.
After finalizing the Partnership Agreement, each Partner must review,
sign, and submit it to the Agency.

(i)	Data Item

Partnership Agreement

(ii)	Respondent Activities

Prepare the Partnership Agreement in collaboration with EPA (varies by
Partner);

Review and sign the Partnership Agreement; and

Submit the Partnership Agreement to EPA.

Annual Reporting Form

The Partner agrees that it will complete an annual reporting form either
electronically, using Excel, or manually, using a printed PDF form.  The
electronic version of the reporting form includes an auto-generated
sheet that summarizes the environmental benefits achieved through the
Partner’s program, based on the data entered for that reporting year.
The forms are provided by EPA, and the Partner must submit the completed
form to the Agency.

(i)	Data items

The reporting form requests the following information:

The Partner name, names of a primary and alternative contact, address,
phone number, fax number, and e-mail address;

Reporting period;

Equipment types included in the Partner’s program
(refrigerators/freezers, stand alone freezers, window air conditioning
units, and/or dehumidifiers);

Whether the program actively encourages the disposal of old equipment;

Number of households in the area served by the program;

For each type of appliance included in the program:

Total number of units processed;

Number of units with an empty charge;

Average age of equipment collected;

Total amount and fate(s) of each appliance component processed;

Method for estimating the total number/amounts of various components
processed;

If the program provides an incentive to encourage the disposal of old
equipment: the average number of remaining years of useful life of that
equipment, average energy consumed/year/unit, and average energy cost
for residential consumers; and

Additional comments.

In the electronic version of the reporting form, the following
calculations are automatically generated for the user:

Estimates of gross energy impact, if the program provides an incentive
to encourage the disposal of old equipment. The user must review these
estimates (which include total saved energy and total dollar savings to
residential consumers), and provide corrections if necessary.

Summary of the environmental benefits achieved through the user’s
program, including ODS and GHG emissions avoided. This page is intended
only for the user’s interest; no data or additional information is
requested.

(ii)	Respondent activity

Partners will complete and submit the annual reporting form each
calendar year the Partnership Agreement is in effect.

5. 	THE INFORMATION COLLECTED: AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

5(a)	Agency Activities

The Partnership requires EPA to perform certain activities associated
with the Partnership Agreement, the annual reporting forms, and
information sharing.  Each of these three information collections, and
the Agency’s activities associated with them, are described in more
detail below.

Partnership Agreement

EPA must perform the following activities related to the Partnership
Agreement for RAD Partners:

Develop the draft Partnership Agreement in collaboration with first
Partner(s);

Solicit and review stakeholder comments;

Develop the final Partnership Agreement;

Disseminate the Partnership Agreement; and

Review and file the completed Partnership Agreement.

Annual Reporting Form

EPA will perform the following activities with regard to the annual
reporting form to be submitted by the Partners:

Develop the reporting form;

Solicit and review stakeholder comments;

Disseminate the reporting form;

Review annual reporting forms submitted by Partners and aggregate/
analyze the data to estimate overall RAD Program results;

Develop a summary annual report; abd

File and maintain copies of the reporting forms.

5(b)	Collection Methodology and Management

In collecting and analyzing the information associated with this ICR,
EPA uses electronic equipment, such as personal computers and applicable
database software.  EPA also provides hardcopies of all forms at
request.  EPA will ensure the accuracy and completeness of collected
information by reviewing each Partner’s submitted information.  EPA
will maintain files of Partnership Agreements and reporting forms.

	EPA is currently developing an Internet web page for this program that
will facilitate access to general program information and allow
interested parties to download the Partnership Agreement, guidelines for
proper appliance handling, and the annual reporting form.

5(c)	Small Entity Flexibility

EPA has designed its reporting forms to minimize respondent burden while
obtaining sufficient and accurate information.  In addition, the burden
associated with the Partnership is inherently minimized since the
initial agreement to participate is voluntary.

5(d)	Collection Schedule

EPA collects basic Partner information in the Partnership Agreement,
which is completed and submitted by the Partner.  EPA will collect
reporting forms from Partners on an annual basis.  EPA may collect other
program information on a periodic basis or as the information is
submitted.

6.	ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION

6(a)	Estimating Respondent Burden

  REF _Ref159661774 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 2  presents the estimated
annual respondent burden and costs for information collection activities
associated with the RAD Program. In the “Hours and costs per
respondent or activity” section,   REF _Ref159661774 \h  \*
MERGEFORMAT  Table 2  presents the average burden for each Partner,
accounting for the varying labor rates among the five types of Partners.
  REF _Ref159661774 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 2  includes the number of
hours required to conduct the information collection activity and the
cost associated with each requirement.  In developing burden estimates
for each information collection requirement in this ICR, EPA consulted
with third party stakeholders and considered Partner feedback.  (See
Section 3(c) of this ICR for information on the consultations.)  As
shown in   REF _Ref159661774 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 2 , EPA estimates
a total average annual respondent burden of approximately 6 hours.

Costs

Labor Costs

EPA estimates respondent labor costs (hourly rate plus overhead and
fringe) based on the average hourly labor rates of the Partners.  For
each Partner, EPA estimates average hourly labor rates according to the
type of Partner – utility, municipality, retailer, manufacturer, or
university. These labor rates are based on national averages reported by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to which 110% is added to reflect the
estimated additional costs for overhead and fringe.    REF _Ref159661896
\h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 3  summarizes the labor rates.

Capital and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

The Partners participating in the RAD Program are not required to incur
any notable capital costs under the Partnership.  The Partners normally
keep track of their program data as a standard business practice.

The Partners participating in the RAD Program are not required to incur
any notable operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.  The Partners need
only to submit their information to EPA.

6(c)	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

  REF _Ref159661958 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 5  presents the estimated
Agency burden hours and costs associated with the information collection
activities for this ICR.  Agency labor costs are based on national
averages for the Federal Executive branch reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, which are multiplied by 1.6, the standard government
benefits multiplier.  See   REF _Ref159661931 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table
4  for EPA estimates of average hourly labor costs for legal,
managerial, technical, and clerical staff.  As shown in   REF
_Ref159661958 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 5 , EPA estimates that the
annual Agency burden for all activities covered in this ICR is 905 hours
at a total cost of $51,149 per year.

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

Respondent Universe

  REF _Ref159661873 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 6  summarizes the number
of Partners expected to participate in the RAD Program during the
three-year effective life of this ICR.  In total, EPA expects to have 16
Partners by the end of the first year, 33 at the end of the second year,
and 50 after three years.    REF _Ref159661873 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table
6  also breaks down the new Partners each year by the five different
types of partners in the program.  The following paragraphs discuss the
information collections these Partners will perform under the
Partnership.    REF _Ref159661774 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 2
calculates the annual burden and cost to Partners in performing these
collections.

Partnership Agreement

As shown in   REF _Ref159661873 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 6 , EPA
estimates that, over the three-year life of this ICR, 50 Partners will
participate in the Partnership.  One Partner worked with EPA to prepare
the Partnership Agreement establishing the terms of participation in the
Partnership.  All Partners must review, sign and submit the Partnership
Agreement to EPA to begin their participation in the Partnership.  As
shown in   REF _Ref159661774 \h  \* MERGEFORMAT  Table 2 , EPA has
annualized the one-time burden of Partnership Agreement preparation over
three years to estimate that 50/3 Partners will prepare and submit a
Partnership Agreement each year.  [Note that   REF _Ref159661774 \h  \*
MERGEFORMAT  Table 2  calculates respondent burden and costs on an
annual basis.  The table calculates the burden and cost of one-time
activities (i.e., activities performed once during the three-year period
of this ICR) by dividing the total number of respondents by three (e.g.,
50 Partners / 3 years = 16.67 Partners per year).]

Annual Reporting Form

Each Partner agrees to complete an annual reporting form to be submitted
to the Agency.  The report will contain data on the types of appliances
handled and the fates of each appliance component.  In estimating burden
and costs for this information collection, EPA believes that new
Partners will incur a greater burden in preparing their first report
(i.e., for their first year of membership), than in preparing reports
for their subsequent years of membership. That is, new Partners may
encounter a one-time learning curve in compiling and examining data for
their “first-year” reporting forms.  After gaining such experience,
these Partners would likely incur a lower burden in preparing their
“subsequent-year” reports.

As shown in Tables 2 and 6, EPA estimates that an average of 16.67
Partners each year will be new to the Partnership and that each will
incur about 6 hours in preparing and submitting their first-year reports
to the Agency.  EPA further estimates that, over the three-year life of
this ICR, 16.33 Partners on average will submit subsequent-year reports
to the Agency each year and incur about 5 hours per report.

6(e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs

Respondent Tally

In Table 2, EPA estimates the total annual respondent burden and cost
for the Responsible Appliance Disposal Partnership to be approximately
302 hours and $26,283.  The bottom line respondent burden over the
three-year period covered by this ICR is approximately 906 hours, at a
total cost of approximately $78,849.

Agency Tally

As shown in Table 5, the annual Agency burden and cost are estimated to
be approximately 905 hours and $51,149 per year.  The bottom line Agency
burden over the three-year period covered by this ICR is approximately
2,715 hours, at a total cost of approximately $153,447.

Variations in the Annual Bottom Line

EPA anticipates no significant variation in the annual respondent
reporting and/or recordkeeping burden over the next three years.

6(f)	Reasons for Change in Burden

This is the first ICR for the Responsible Appliance Disposal Program.

6(g)	Burden Statement

The annual reporting burden for this information collection is estimated
to average approximately 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; 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 1.

	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 docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number
EPA-HQ-OAR-2007-0358, which is available for online viewing at
