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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit a
continuing Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). This is a request to renew an existing
approved collection which is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011.
Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA is
soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information
collection as described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before October 12, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
UST-2010-0625 to EPA by one of the following methods:
     www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
     E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-UST-
2010-0625. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or e-mail.
The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-
mail comment directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov
your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available
on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends
that you include your name and other contact information in the body of
your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read
your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For additional
information about EPA's public docket visit the EPA Docket Center
homepage at http://www.epa.gov/dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

How can I access the docket and/or submit comments?

    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-UST-2010-0625, which is available for online viewing at
www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the UST Docket in the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave.,
NW., Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room is open from 8 a.m.
to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for UST Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Use www.regulations.gov to obtain a copy of the draft collection of

information, submit or view public comments, access the index listing
of the contents of the docket, and to access those documents in the
public docket that are available electronically. Once in the system,
select ``search,'' then key in the docket ID number identified in this
document.

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:
    (i) 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;
    (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) 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.

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. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. 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.

What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
those facilities that own and operate underground storage tanks (USTs)
and those states that implement the UST programs.
    Title: ``Underground Storage Tanks: Technical and Financial
Requirements, and State Program Approval Procedures (Renewal).''
    ICR numbers: ICR Number 1360.12, OMB Control Number 2050-0068.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on March 31,
2011. 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: Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA), as amended, requires that EPA develop standards for UST
systems, as may be necessary, to protect human health and the
environment, and procedures for approving state programs in lieu of the
federal program. EPA promulgated technical and financial requirements
for owners and operators of USTs at 40 CFR part 280, and state program
approval procedures at 40 CFR part 281. This ICR is a comprehensive
presentation of all information collection requirements contained at 40
CFR parts 280 and 281.
    The data collected for new and existing UST system operations and
financial requirements are used by owners and operators and/or EPA or
the implementing agency to monitor results of testing, inspections, and
operation of UST systems, as well as to demonstrate compliance with
regulations. EPA believes strongly that if the minimum requirements
specified under the regulations are not met, neither the facilities nor
EPA can ensure that UST systems are being managed in a manner
protective of human health and the environment.
    EPA uses state program applications to determine whether to approve
a state program. Before granting approval, EPA must determine that
programs will be no less stringent than the federal program and contain
adequate enforcement mechanisms.
    The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
    (i) 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;
    (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25
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 the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: UST facilities and states.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 237,589.
    Frequency of Response: once, on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,969,217.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $743,453,178 ($453,047,585 in labor
costs; $95,975,266 in annualized capital/startup costs; and
$194,430,327 in operation and maintenance costs).

    Dated: August 2, 2010.

Director, Office of Underground Storage Tanks.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Nominations for FACOSH Membership

    The Assistant Secretary of OSHA invites interested individuals to
submit nominations for membership on FACOSH. In addition, this notice
announces new nomination procedures for FACOSH.
    Background. FACOSH is authorized to advise the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) on all matters relating to the occupational safety and
health of federal employees (Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970
(29 U.S.C. 668), 5 U.S.C. 7902, Executive Orders 12196 and 13511). This
includes providing advice on how to reduce and keep to a minimum the
number of injuries and illnesses in the federal workforce, and how to
encourage the establishment and maintenance of effective occupational
safety and health programs in each federal agency.
    FACOSH membership. FACOSH is comprised of 16 members who the
Secretary appoints to staggered terms of up to three years. The
categories of FACOSH membership and the number

of new members to be appointed to three-year terms beginning January 1,
2015 include:
     Eight members who are federal agency management
representatives--Three management representatives will be appointed;
and
     Eight members who are representatives of labor
organizations that represent federal employees--Two federal employee
representatives will be appointed.
    FACOSH members serve at the pleasure of the Secretary and may be
appointed to successive terms. FACOSH meets at least twice a year.
    The Department of Labor is committed to equal opportunity in the
workplace and seeks broad-based and diverse FACOSH membership. Any
interested federal agency, labor organization, or individual(s) may
nominate one or more qualified persons for membership on FACOSH.
Interested individuals also are invited and encouraged to submit
statements in support of particular nominees.
    Nomination requirements. Submission of nominations must include the
following information:
    1. The nominee's name, contact information and current occupation
or position;
    2. The nominee's resume or curriculum vitae, including prior
membership on FACOSH and other relevant organizations, associations and
committees;
    3. Category of membership (management, labor) the nominee is
qualified to represent;
    4. A summary of the nominee's background, experience and
qualifications that address the nominee's suitability to serve on
FACOSH;
    5. Articles or other documents the nominee has authored that
indicate the nominee's knowledge, experience and expertise in
occupational safety and health, particularly as it pertains to the
federal workforce; and
    6. A statement that the nominee is aware of the nomination, is
willing to regularly attend and participate in FACOSH meetings, and has
no apparent conflicts of interest that would preclude membership on
FACOSH.
    Member selection. The Secretary appoints FACOSH members based upon
criteria that include the nominee's level of responsibility for
occupational safety and health matters involving the federal workforce;
experience and competence in occupational safety and health; and
willingness and ability to regularly and fully participate in FACOSH
meetings. Federal agency management nominees who serve as their
agency's Designated Agency Safety and Health Official (DASHO), or at an
equivalent level of responsibility within their respective federal
agencies, are preferred as management members. Labor nominees who have
responsibilities for federal employee occupational safety and health
matters within their respective labor organizations are preferred as
labor members.
    The information received through the nomination process, along with
other relevant sources of information, will assist the Secretary in
making appointments to FACOSH. In selecting FACOSH members, the
Secretary will consider individuals nominated in response to this
Federal Register notice, as well as other qualified individuals. OSHA
will publish a list of the new FACOSH members in the Federal Register.

Public Participation

    Instructions for submitting nominations. Interested individuals may
submit nominations and supplemental materials using one of the methods

materials must identify the agency/labor organization name and the
docket number for this Federal Register notice. You may supplement

electronic or FAX submission, you must submit them to the OSHA Docket
Office (see ADDRESSES section). The additional material must clearly
identify your electronic or FAX submission by name and docket number
for this Federal Register notice so that the materials can be attached
to your submission.
    Because of security-related procedures, the use of regular mail may
cause a significant delay in the receipt of nominations. For
information about security procedures concerning the delivery of
materials by hand, express delivery, messenger or courier service,
please contact the OSHA Docket Office (see ADDRESSES section).
    All submissions in response to this Federal Register notice are

New Nomination Procedures

    OSHA is establishing new membership nomination procedures for
FACOSH. With this notice, OSHA begins accepting and considering FACOSH
nominations on a ``rolling basis.'' OSHA will consider any nomination
you submit by October 5, 2014, for membership positions that open on
January 1, 2015, as well as for any vacancy that occurs during 2015,
such as due to a member resignation. In addition, OSHA will roll over
the nominations received in response to this notice for consideration
for membership positions that open January 1, 2016.
    Each year OSHA will publish a request for nominations for
membership positions. OSHA will consider nominations received in
response to that notice for the following:
     Membership positions beginning January 1 of the next year;
     Vacancies that occur during the next year; and
     Membership positions that begin January 1 of the year that
follows.
    OSHA believes that rolling over nominations will make it easier for
interested persons to be considered for membership on FACOSH because
they will not have to submit a nomination every year. The new
procedures also will provide OSHA with a broad base of nominations to
consider in order to ensure that FACOSH membership is fairly balanced,
which the Federal Advisory Committee Act requires (5 U.S.C. App. 2,
Section (5)(b)(2); 41 CFR 102-3.30(c)).

FACOSH Appointments

    FACOSH is comprised of 16 members; eight representing federal
agency management and eight from labor

organizations representing federal employees. The Secretary has
appointed the following individuals to a three-year term on FACOSH:
    Federal employee representatives:
     Carolyn D. Bland-Bowles, American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees;
     Dennis P. Phelps, International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers; and
     Mark J. Segall, National Association of Agriculture
Employees.
    Federal agency management representatives:
     Wesley J. Carpenter, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
     Wayne Quillin, U.S. Department of State; and
     Maureen Sullivan, U.S. Department of Defense.
