STATEMENT SUPPORTING THE RENEWAL OF INFORMATION COLLECTION FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF OFFSITE CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS INFORMATION UNDER SECTION 112( r)( 7)( H) OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT ( CAA) EPA # 1981.02 1. IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION 1( a) Title of the Information Collection Request Distribution of Offsite Consequence Analysis Information under Section 112( r)( 7)( H) of the Clean Air Act ( CAA), as amended B EPA No. 1981.02 The current Information Collection Requirements ( ICR) is approved through October 31, 2003 for 99,518 hours.

1( b) Short Characterization This ICR is the renewal of the ICR developed for the final rule, Accidental Release Prevention Requirements; Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act Section 112( r)( 7); Distribution of Off Site Consequence Analysis Information. CAA section 112( r)( 7) required EPA to promulgate reasonable regulations and appropriate guidance to provide for the prevention and detection of accidental releases and for responses to such releases. The regulations include requirements for submittal of a risk management plan ( RMP) to EPA. The RMP includes information on offsite consequence analyses ( OCA) as well as other elements of the risk management program.

On August 5, 1999, the President signed the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security, and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act ( CSISSFRRA). This Act requires the President to promulgate regulations on the distribution of OCA information ( CAA section 112( r)( 7)( H)( ii)). The President delegated to EPA and the Department of Justice ( DOJ) the responsibility to promulgate regulations to govern the dissemination of OCA information to the public.

The final rule which was published on August 8, 2000 ( 65 FR 48108) imposed minimal information collection requirements and record keeping. The federal government established 55 reading rooms at federal facilities geographically distributed across the United States and its territories. At these reading rooms, members of the public are able to read, but not mechanically copy or remove paper copies of OCA information for up to 10 stationary sources per calendar month. At these reading rooms, the members of the public may also have access to OCA information that the Local Emergency Planning Committee ( LEPC) in whose jurisdiction the person lives or works is authorized to provide.

At most of the reading rooms, access is available by appointment only. There are few walk in reading rooms. The requestor will need to display photo identification issued by a federal, state, or local government agency, sign a sign in sheet, and certify that the individual has not received access to OCA information for more than 10 stationary sources for that calendar month. Persons requesting access to OCA information at the federal reading rooms for local stationary sources will also be asked to sign in and to display documentation demonstrating that he or she lives or works in the LEPC jurisdiction for which the OCA information is requested. Requestors will be limited to access to paper copies of OCA information 2 for a total of 10 stationary sources during a calendar month, regardless of how many reading rooms they visit during a single month.

EPA also established an indicator, Vulnerable Zone Indicator System ( VZIS), that informs any person located in any state whether an address specified by that person might be within the vulnerable zone of one or more stationary sources, according to the data reported in RMPs. The indicator is available on the Internet. Members of the public who do not have access to the Internet are able to obtain the same information by calling an EPA toll free number or by regular mail request to the Administrator of EPA.

The final rule authorizes and encourages LEPCs and related local government agencies ( such as police, fire, emergency management and planning departments) to provide read only access to OCA sections of RMP for sources located within the jurisdiction of the LEPC and for any other stationary sources that has a vulnerability zone that extends into the LEPC's jurisdiction. These local agencies would receive OCA information upon request for all the sources in the LEPC jurisdiction and for any sources whose vulnerable zones extend into the LEPC's jurisdiction. They are authorized to make the OCA information available for reading, but not copying mechanically, to members of the public. These agencies that provide read only access are not required to limit the number of stationary sources for which a person can gain access, ascertain a person's identity or place of residence or work, or keep records of public access provided. Local agencies are authorized and encouraged, but are not required to provide public access to OCA sections of RMPs.

State agencies and related state government agencies ( such as emergency management, environmental protection, health, and natural resources departments) can receive OCA data upon request for all facilities in the state. They are authorized to make the OCA information available for reading, but not copying mechanically, to members of the public for the same stationary sources as the LEPC in whose jurisdiction the person lives or works. If the states choose to give this information, they need to verify the person's address or place of employment. State agencies are not required to provide public access to OCA information.

CSISSFRRA allows any member of an LEPC, State Emergency Response Commission ( SERC) and any other state or local government official to convey to the public any OCA data elements orally or in writing, provided that the data elements are not conveyed in the format of sections 2 through 5 of an RMP or any electronic database that EPA has developed that includes OCA data elements.

State and local government officials can also have access to OCA information for their official use. These officials must send a request on their official letterhead to certify that they are covered persons under P. L. 106 40, and that they will use the data for official use only.

2. NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION 2( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection The information collection for disseminating OCA information is authorized under the Chemical Safety Information, Site Security, and Fuels Regulatory Relief Act ( CSISSFRRA). From the members of the public wishing to view OCA information at federal reading rooms, this ICR collects signature and a certification stating that the requestor has not received access to OCA information for more than 10 stationary sources during that calendar month. The federal reading room staff will view photo 3 identification of the requestor and view documentation demonstrating where he or she lives ( for those who are requesting local stationary sources at federal reading rooms.) Members of the public contacting the central office will be asked to give their name, telephone number, residential address, and names of the stationary sources for which they wish to view the OCA information. This ICR also covers the collection of written requests from state and local officials for OCA information. In addition, it governs the maintenance and disclosure of the OCA information by state and local entities for public use, as authorized and encouraged by CSISSFRRA and codified in 40 CFR Part 1400.

2( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Information The information collected from the public under 40 CFR Part 1400 will be collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 1400.3 (" Public access to paper copies of off site consequence analysis information"). Signature and certification will be collected to ensure that members of the public are in compliance with 40 CFR 1400.3( c), which provides that a reading room may not provide a person access to OCA information for more than 10 stationary sources in a calendar month. This limitation on access is consistent with CSISSFRRA section 3( a), which states in relevant part that the regulations promulgated thereunder "[ allow] access by any member of the public to paper copies of [ OCA] information for a limited number of stationary sources located anywhere in the United States . . ." [ emphasis added].

The person wishing to view OCA information at federal reading rooms must show a photo identification to the reading room staff prior to obtaining OCA information. This requirement is a reasonable means of accomplishing the statutory requirement that individuals have access " to a limited number" of paper copies of OCA information. The requirement to show identification will also decrease the likelihood that OCA information would be obtained by individuals seeking it for criminal purposes, because such individuals prefer to conceal their activities. The photo identification will significantly reduce the risk that someone will attempt to use identification that is not his or her own.

At federal reading rooms, the members of the public also have access to OCA information that the LEPC in whose jurisdiction the person lives or works is authorized to provide. These individuals will be asked to sign in and to display documentation demonstrating that he or she lives or works in the LEPC whose jurisdiction for which the OCA information has been requested. This requirement is to assure that the individual will only get the OCA information to which he is entitled.

If an individual calls the central office to obtain OCA data, he/ she will be asked to give his/ her name, telephone number, and the names of the stationary sources for which OCA information is being requested. This information will enable the central office to schedule an appointment for the requestor at a reading room, relay the requested copies of OCA information to that reading room, and, if necessary, contact the requestor.

This collection also covers the letters of request sent by state and local agencies for OCA information either for their own use such as emergency planning and/ or to provide read only access to the public. State and local officials who decide to obtain OCA information for their official use must send a request on their official letterhead to EPA certifying that they are covered persons under P. L. 106 40 and that they will use the information for official use only.

3. NON DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA 4 3( a) Non Duplication The information being collected under this rule are signature, certification and personal identification data and names of the stationary sources for which the individuals would like to view OCA data ( for those who call the central office to view OCA data). The letters from state or local officials to EPA requesting OCA information are also collected. This information does not duplicate any other federal collection as it is specific to this rule and necessary to ensure that the rule can be implemented.

3( b) Consultations EPA has consulted with State and local representatives of a FACA subcommittee about the implementation of the OCA provisions of CSISSFRRA. In addition, EPA has consulted with seven organizations representing State and local elected officials, and two tribal organizations representing tribal environmental officials, prior to developing the final rule.

3( c) Public Notice In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act ( 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq.), the Agency notified the public through a Federal Register notice on the resubmission of this ICR on May 12, 2003 ( 68 FR 25367). No comments were received.

3( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection This section is not applicable. The only data being collected are the signatures and selfcertification these are only collected at the time of visit.

3( e) General Guidelines This section is not applicable.

3( e) Confidentiality The only data being collected are signatures and self certification, neither of which are confidential. EPA and DOJ have not created or will not be creating a tracking system according to individual's names to enforce the limit on access to paper copies at the reading rooms.

3( g) Sensitive Questions This section is not applicable.

4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED 4( a) Respondents/ NAICS Codes The respondent universe for this rule is state and local officials and members of the public. The most significant users are likely to be state and local agencies ( NAICS code 92111). 5 4( b) Information Requested Members of the public are required to give their names, telephone number, and the names of the stationary sources for which OCA information is being requested, when they contact the central office to schedule an appointment to view OCA information. Individuals visiting the reading rooms are required to sign in and self certify that they have not viewed OCA information for more than 10 stationary sources during that calendar month. Individuals wishing to view OCA information that the LEPC in whose jurisdiction the person lives or works is authorized to provide, will also be asked to sign in and display documentation demonstrating that he or she lives or works in the LEPC jurisdiction for which the OCA information has been requested.

State and local agencies are required to send a written request to EPA for OCA information. State and local officials must send the request on their official letterhead certifying that they are covered persons under P. L. 106 40 and that they will use the data for official use only.

( i) Data Elements Members of the public requesting to view OCA information at federal reading rooms are required to sign in and self certify. If asking for OCA information from federal reading rooms for the stationary sources in the area where they live or work, they would be required to provide proof that they live or work in that area. Members of the public are required to give their names, telephone number, and the names of the stationary sources for which OCA information is being requested, when they contact the central office to schedule an appointment to view OCA information.

( ii) Respondent Activities The respondent activities for state and local agencies include:

$ Reading and understanding the Security Notice to Federal, state, and local officials and researchers;

$ Submitting a written request to EPA for OCA information;

$ Providing a location for the public to review OCA information for local stationary sources;

$ Ensuring that members of the public do not remove or copy OCA information they review;

$ Operate the VZIS indicator system, and $ Making OCA information available in formats other than sections 2 through 5 of the RMP.

The respondent activities for members of the public include the following:

$ Calling the central office to make an appointment at a reading room, provide name, address, phone number, and the names of the stationary sources for which OCA information is requested;

$ Displaying a photo identification ( e. g., driver's license) at reading rooms and proof of place of residence or employment ( when seeking to view OCA information for stationary sources located near place of residence or employment); sign in and certify that they have 6 not viewed OCA information for more than 10 stationary sources during that calendar month.

$ Submitting a request for information from the vulnerable zone indicator system ( VZIS) ( by Internet, phone, or mail); and $ Making follow up calls or contacts to obtain additional information on stationary sources that may affect them.

Members of the public are permitted to read and take notes from the OCA information, but not to remove or mechanically reproduce it. The regulation imposes no limit on the number of local stationary sources ( within the LEPC district or affecting the LEPC district) for which members of the public may review paper copies of OCA information made available by local agencies. The regulation does not require local agencies to ask members of the public to show any identification to gain access to the information. State agencies are permitted to provide a person the same access to paper copies of OCA information to a member of the public as that person would receive at his or her local agency. State agencies will need to verify that a person seeking information for an area lives or works in the area.

The burden estimates for documentation and reporting are discussed in section 6 of this ICR.

5. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED C AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 5( a) Federal, State, and Local Government Activities Burden to State and Local Agencies and Others State and local officials who decide to obtain OCA information must send a written request on their official letterhead to EPA certifying that they are covered persons under P. L. 106 40, and that they will use the information for official use only. EPA will also provide paper copies of RMPs to these agencies on request.

The rule authorizes and encourages state and local agencies to set up public reading rooms. The local reading rooms would provide read only access to OCA information for all the sources in the LEPC's jurisdiction and for any source where the vulnerable zone extends into the LEPC's jurisdiction.

These agencies are not required to carry out these activities, however the costs and burden are detailed in section 6.

Burden to the Federal Government The federal government is operating the reading rooms. The federal government is maintaining the VZIS software. The federal government also supplies the state and local agencies with OCA information, VZIS software and provides technical support. The government may also engage in other activities to provide access to OCA information.

5( b) Collection Methodology and Management 7 The federal reading rooms will maintain records of reading room use and certifications in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator and the Attorney General. These records shall be retained for no more than three years.

The federal reading room staff will view the photo identification of requestors to ensure that the identification belongs to the person requesting OCA information. Requiring an individual to show identification may decrease the likelihood that OCA information would be obtained by individuals seeking it for criminal purposes.

The reading room staff will also view proof of residence and employment to ensure that the requestor only receives access to the local OCA information to which he or she is entitled. The requirement for signature and self certification is to prevent individuals from obtaining OCA information more than their limit ( 10 stationary sources per calendar month national limit). To further deter individuals from attempting to exceed their allotment by visiting more than one federal reading room in a month, reading room personnel will be instructed to provide access to OCA information only to individuals who have signed a certification that they have not exceeded their allotment. The certification will inform members of the public that they may be subject to criminal penalties under federal law for falsely certifying that they have not received OCA information for more than 10 stationary sources that month. The information recorded on sign in sheets may be used by law enforcement in the event of a duly authorized investigation of a violation of civil or criminal law. Therefore, these sign in sheets shall be retained for three years.

The information collected during telephone call received by the central office from a requestor of OCA information will enable the central office to schedule an appointment for the requestor at a reading room, relay the requested copies of OCA information to that reading room, and, if necessary, contact the requestor. This information would not be retained beyond the requestor's appointment date.

The requests from state and local officials for OCA information would also be retained for three years.

5( c) Small Entity Flexibility The rule does not require small entities, such as local emergency planning committees or related local government agencies, to provide public access to OCA information, hence no special requirements are needed for small entities. 5( d) Collection Schedule The information collected at the federal reading rooms occurs only when an individual requests OCA information.

6. ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION 6( a) Respondent Burden State/ Local Agencies Since the final rule was published in August 2000, only 18 state agencies have requested OCA data from EPA. Therefore, the number of respondents undertaking the activities listed in section 4( b)( ii) is 8 estimated to be 18 more state agencies for the next three years covered by this ICR. These agencies are assumed to be members of the State Emergency Response Commission ( SERC), environmental protection agencies, emergency management agencies, etc.

In the ICR developed for the final rule, it was estimated that 1,500 active LEPCs ( based on EPCRA program) will request OCA information from EPA for their own use such as emergency planning and some of these LEPCs may also provide public read only access. However, only nine LEPCs have requested OCA data since August 2000. EPA assumes that atleast one percent of the active LEPCs may request OCA data in the in the next three years covered by this ICR.

The state and local agencies are assumed to spend two hours a week providing information to the public ( providing read only access and operating the VZIS). The local agencies are assumed to hold three public meetings, in the three years covered by this ICR, which would take eight hours each for preparation and to hold the meeting. The state and local officials are assumed to take approximately two hours per official to prepare the letter to request OCA information. State and local agencies are assumed to take two hours training on the VZIS and one hour training on the security of OCA information ( one time burden). The total burden hours for state and local agencies are estimated to be 7,086 hours annually ( 21,259 hours for three years) at a cost of $ 208,186 annually ($ 624,559 for three years).

Public It is assumed that the members of the public would take approximately one hour to sign in and certify; call the central office to give his/ her name, address, telephone number, names of the stationary sources for which OCA information is requested and to display documentation demonstrating proof of residence and employment to view local facilities at a federal reading room. Based on the information received from federal reading rooms since August 2000, EPA assumes that approximately 1,880 people may visit the federal reading rooms in the next three years covered by this ICR. As estimated in the previous ICR, the local reading rooms will most likely attract more people than the federal rooms since they may be easily accessible. Therefore, EPA assumes that at least two people from each of the 3,043 counties will visit state and local reading rooms since the OCA information contains consequences of accidental releases that affect their community ( home, school, work etc.).

Additionally, it is assumed that the public will use the vulnerable zone indicator system ( VZIS). To date, approximately 5,250 people have made use of the VZIS. Of the 5,250 people, about 2,620 people sent their requests via email, another 2,620 people made telephone requests and the remaining 10 people send requests via mail. It is assumed to take three minutes for an email, 15 minutes for a call to the hotline and follow up call, and 30 minutes to write a letter and mail it. The total burden to the public is estimated to be 8,754 hours annually ( 26,262 hours over three years) at a cost of $ 205,193 annually ($ 615,581, over three years).

6( b) Estimating Respondent Costs To estimate costs for state and local agencies to provide the OCA information to the public and monitor its use, operate the VZIS, prepare for the public meetings, training on the security of OCA information, the public administration hourly rate for state and local government employees of $ 29.27 ( wages plus benefits) was used ( Bureau of Labor Statistics data, September 2002, Table 4). 9 To estimate costs for state and local officials to submit a written request to EPA for OCA information, and to hold public meetings, the executive/ managerial average hourly rate for state and local government employees of $ 39.81( wage plus benefits) was used ( Bureau of Labor Statistics data, September 2002, Table 4).

The value of the public time is estimated to be at $ 23.44 per hour, the average compensation for all U. S. civilian employees ( Bureau of Labor Statistics data, September 2002, Table 1).

6( c) Estimating Annual Respondent Cost Burden Capital and O& M Costs  State, local agencies and the public The state and local agencies ( 56 state agencies including D. C. and U. S. territories and 1,500 LEPCs) capital costs were estimated in the previous ICR to be $ 125,000 for purchasing computer equipment to operate the VZIS. The cost was annualized in the previous ICR assuming the equipment was depreciated over five years. So, in this ICR, this cost is not calculated. The total annual O& M cost for state and local agencies to mail letters to EPA requesting OCA information is approximately $ 260.00. The annual O& M cost for the public to mail letters to EPA requesting information from the VZIS is $ 10.00.

6( d) Estimating Costs for the Federal Government EPA and DOJ currently operate 55 reading rooms located at federal buildings. Some of the 55 reading rooms have the capability to operate the VZIS. Few of the reading rooms are walk ins ( about 15) and the remaining are by appointment only.

Federal costs were estimated based on activity and the FY 2003 GS wage schedule. Copying time ( to make paper copies of OCA information for state and local agencies if requested) was estimated using a GS 4, step 5; reading room activities were estimated using a GS 9, step 5; VZIS operation was estimated at GS 13, step 5; and software development and maintenance was estimated at a GS 14, step 5 rate. The wages for these staff were loaded with fringe, but no overhead.

The reading room activities may vary depending on whether it is a reading room with walk in access, phone in access or operating the VZIS. The reading room staff are expected to take phone calls from the public, schedule appointments for use of the reading rooms, print the requested RMPs, review the identification presented, monitor the use of the RMPs to ensure that they are not mechanically copied, and shred them when the user is finished. Reading room staff will spend one hour learning how to handle OCA information securely. Reading room activity and VZIS operation was estimated to require one tenth of the time of a federal employee ( 208 hours) for each of the appropriate reading rooms.

The VZIS development, maintenance, providing technical support, creating the disks for each state and LEPC ( each disk will have its OCA data for their jurisdiction) was estimated in the previous ICR to be 1,470 hours. EPA will also have to operate the VZIS system and respond to queries. It was estimated that EPA would spend 15 minutes responding to each query and an equal amount of time answering follow up calls.

EPA will have to make paper copies, compile binders, and mail them to state and local agencies if requested. As it was estimated in the previous ICR, making two complete sets of RMPs ( one for states, 10 one for local agencies) it will take 146.47 hours to copy. It was assumed that compiling the binders would take 0.5 hour each to sort the RMPs by LEPC, check the completeness of the binder, and prepare the mailing.

The total burden on the federal government is estimated to be 13,254 hrs annually ( 39,762 hrs for three years) at a cost of $ 154,936 annually ($ 464,808 for three years).

O& M Costs In the previous ICR, reading rooms were assumed to need a computer, monitor, printer, and shredder. All 15 walk in reading rooms are assumed to have computer/ monitor/ printer. All 55 reading rooms are assumed to have shredders. Reading rooms that operate VZIS may require upgraded computer system to run the VZIS software. The cost for the equipment was calculated in the previous ICR. The equipment was assumed to be depreciated over five years. So, in this ICR, EPA did not calculate the costs for the equipment.

The annual cost for VZIS software is $ 5,400. In addition, reading rooms were assumed to print out copies. Using a cost of $ 4.79 for a ream of recycled copy paper, EPA estimates that its annual paper cost is $ 10,000, assuming each person visiting a reading room looks at 20 RMPs ( 10 local and 10 outside the area).

6( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs Respondents for this ICR are state and local officials requesting OCA data from EPA and the members of the public visiting reading rooms and making inquiries on the VZIS. The total number of respondents is 13,250.

The annualized cost burden for respondents during the time period covered by this ICR is estimated to be 15,840 hours and $ 413,380 ( 47,520 hours and $ 1,240,140 for the three year period).

6( f) Reasons for Change in Burden There is a decrease in burden and costs from the previous ICR. This is due to using actual data of the state and local officials requesting OCA data. The previous ICR estimated that all 50 states plus U. S. territories and D. C. and atleast 1,000 of the 1,500 active LEPCs will be requesting OCA data. However, only 9 LEPCs and 18 states have requested OCA data, therefore, EPA only assumed that 1% of the 1500 LEPCs ( 15 LEPCs) may request OCA data in the next three years covered by the ICR. Also, in this ICR, EPA assumed that only 18 more states may request OCA data from EPA.

The public burden and costs have also decreased from the previous ICR, due to the actual number of people that have visited the federal reading rooms or made inquiries in the VZIS.

6( g) Burden Statement The public reporting and record keeping burden is estimated to be 15,840 hours and $ 413,380 annually ( 47,520 hours and $ 1,240,140 for the three year period). Burden means the total time, effort, 11 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 docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OAR 2003 0073, which is available for public viewing at the Air Docket in the EPA Docket Center ( EPA/ DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC.

Public Participation

    There are three ways to become involved in the Commission's review
of this project: you can file a protest to the project, you can file a
motion to intervene in the proceeding, and you can file comments on the
project. There is no fee or cost for filing protests, motions to
intervene, or comments. The deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 10, 2023.
How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is explained
below.

Protests

    Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\1\ any person \2\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for
filing a protest, the instant request for authorization will be
considered by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR 157.205.
    \2\ Persons include individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities. 18 CFR 385.102(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\3\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is February 10, 2023. A protest may also
serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 18 CFR 157.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \4\ and the regulations under the NGA \5\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is February 10, 2023. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/how-guides.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 18 CFR 385.214.
    \5\ 18 CFR 157.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene that are
filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied.
Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for being late
and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the
Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status
will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties.

Comments

    Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. The
Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your
comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments
on or before February 10, 2023. The filing of a comment alone will not
serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party,
you must intervene in the proceeding.

How To File Protests, Interventions, and Comments

    There are two ways to submit protests, motions to intervene, and
comments. In both instances, please reference the Project docket number
CP23-21-000 in your submission. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of submissions.
    (1) You may file your protest, motion to intervene, and comments by
using the Commission's eFiling feature, which is located on the
Commission's website (www.ferc.gov) under the link to Documents and
Filings. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on
``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select the type of filing you are
making; first select General'' and then select ``Protest'',
``Intervention'', or ``Comment on a Filing.''
    The Commission's eFiling staff are available to assist you at (202)
502-8258 or [email protected]
    (2) You can file a paper copy of your submission. Your submission
must reference the Project docket number CP23-21-000.

Louisiana Street, Suite 1300, Houston, Texas, 77002-2700 or by email
(with a link to the document) at: [email protected]. Any
subsequent submissions by an intervenor must be served on the applicant
and all other parties to the proceeding. Contact information for
parties can be downloaded from the service list at the eService link on
FERC Online.

Tracking the Proceeding

    Throughout the proceeding, additional information about the project
will be available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs, at
(866) 208-FERC, or on the FERC website at www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link as described above. The eLibrary link also provides
access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the Commission,
such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. For more information and to register, go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview.

Footnotes: a Application rates are based on maximum values found on various labels or proposed by registrant. In most scenarios, a range of maximum application rates is used to represent the range of rates for different crops/ sites/ uses. Most application rates upon which the analysis is based are presented as lb ai/ A. In the case of ornamentals in pots, the application rate is presented as lb ai/ day) . Specific application rates and the corresponding EPA Reg. numbers that are intended as examples of each exposure assessment scenario are presented in the table indicating risks at baseline attire.

b Amount handled per day values are based on HED Exposure SAC Policy # 009   Standard Values for Daily Acres Treated in Agriculture,   revised June 23, 2000, or best professional judgment when data is not available.

c Unless otherwise footnoted, personal protective equipment dermal unit exposure values are from PHED Surrogate Exposure Guide, draft version August, 1998. PPE dermal exposure assumes long pants, long sleeved shirt,

plus gloves and/ or double layer body protection; open mixing/ loading, open cab/ tractor. ( See Exposure Scenarios Descriptions Table for further information. )

d Intermediate term dermal MOE = NOAEL ( 0. 03 mg/ kg/ day / intermediate term PPE daily dermal dose ( mg/ kg/ day) , where daily dermal dose = [ unit dermal exposure ( mg/ lb ai) * application rate ( lb ai/ acre) * daily acres treated * dermal absorption ( 36% ) ] / body weight ( 70 kg) . [ Note: application rate and acres treated/ day are replaced by pounds handled per day for ornamentals in pots scenario. ] Uncertainty Factor = 100.

e Unless otherwise footnoted, personal protective equipment inhalation unit exposure values are from PHED Surrogate Exposure Guide, draft version August, 1998 representing use of a dust mist respirator   calculated using an 80% protection factor from baseline inhalation exposure values.

f Baseline inhalation MOE from table indicating risks at baseline attire ( no respirator)

g PPE Inhalation MOE = NOAEL ( 0. 045 mg/ kg/ day) / PPE inhalation dose, where daily PPE inhalation dose = ( unit exposure ( F g/ lb ai) * ( 1mg/ 1000 F g) conversion * appl. rate ( lb ai/ A) * acres treated/ day) / body weight ( 70 kg) [ Note: application rate and acres treated/ day are replaced by pounds handled per day for ornamentals in pots scenario. ] Uncertainty Factor = 100.
