    Title: Cooling Water Intake Structures at Phase III Facilities
(Renewal).
    ICR Number: EPA ICR No. 2169.04, OMB Control No. 2040-0268.
    ICR Status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31,
2009. 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, and 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: The Section 316(b) regulation for Phase III facilities
requires the collection of information from new offshore oil and gas
extraction facilities which use a cooling water intake structure(s)
that uses at least 25 percent of the water it withdraws for cooling
purposes, and have design intake flows greater than 2 MGD. Section
316(b) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that any standard
established under section 301 or 306 of the CWA and applicable to a
point source must require that the location, design, construction and
capacity of cooling water intake structure(s) at that facility reflect
the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental
impact. Such impact occurs as a result of impingement (where fish and
other aquatic life are trapped on technologies at the entrance to
cooling water intake structures) and entrainment (where aquatic
organisms, eggs, and larvae are taken into the cooling system, passed
through the heat exchanger, and then pumped back out with the discharge
from the facility). The rule contains requirements applicable to the
location, design, construction, and capacity of cooling water intake
structures at new offshore oil and gas extraction facilities. These
requirements seek to establish the best technology available for
minimizing adverse environmental

impact associated with the use of cooling water intake structure(s).
    Burden Statement: The annual average reporting and recordkeeping
burden for the existing collection of information by facilities
responding to the Section 316(b) Phase III rule is estimated to be 921
hours per facility respondent (i.e., an annual average of 34,080 hours
of burden divided among an annual average of 37 facilities). 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
for the existing ICR, which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 37 facilities.
    Frequency of response: Every five years, ongoing.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
4.2.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 34,080 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $2,433,612. This includes an
estimated labor burden cost of $1,836,559 and an estimated cost of
$597,053 for capital investment or operations and maintenance.
    Change in the Estimates: This ICR estimates an annual average
respondent burden of 34,080 hours, which represents a 3-fold increase
(22,842 hours) in burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. The change in burden results mainly from the
shift from the approval period to the permit implementation and renewal
period of the Section 316(b) Phase III rule. Because NPDES permits are
issued every five years, this ICR covers the last two years of the
initial permit approval period (i.e., years four and five after
promulgation) and the first year of the renewal period (i.e., year six
after promulgation). In this first year of the renewal period
facilities will be applying for a permit for the first time or re-
applying for permit coverage that was obtained during the three years
covered by the previous ICR. The activities to renew an NPDES permit
are assumed to be less burdensome than those for issuing a permit for
the first time.

[Docket No. FMCSA-2021-0140]

Entry-Level Driver Training: Application for Exemption; Oak
Harbor Freight Lines, Inc.

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department
of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments.

Harbor) has applied for an exemption from the qualification
requirements pertaining to entry-level driver training (ELDT) theory
instructors, as set forth in the definition of ``theory instructor''.

supervisor, Mr. Jeff McLaughlin, will be able to conduct classroom
(theory) training for entry-level drivers who intend to operate
commercial motor vehicles (CMV) used in the transportation of hazardous
materials (HM). The company states the exemption is warranted due to
Mr. McLaughlin's experience and expertise related to the transportation
of HM. Oak Harbor also states that the road portion of the training
would be completed by behind-the-wheel (BTW) instructors that meet the
ELDT requirements.

self-addressed postcard or envelope. FMCSA will consider all comments
and material received during the comment period.

II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from certain parts of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations. FMCSA must publish a notice of each exemption request in
the Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the
public an opportunity to inspect the information relevant to the
application, including any safety analyses that have been conducted.
The Agency must also provide an opportunity for public comment on the
request.
    The Agency reviews safety analyses and public comments submitted
and determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reasons for denying or granting the application
and, if granted, the name of the person or class of persons receiving
the exemption, and the regulatory provision from which the exemption is
granted. The notice must also specify the effective period (up to 5
years) and explain the terms and conditions of the

exemption. The exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

III. Background

Current Regulatory Requirements

    The Agency's ELDT regulations, set forth in 49 CFR part 380,
subparts F and G, establish theory and BTW training requirements for
individuals seeking to obtain a Class A or Class B CDL or a passenger
(P), school bus (S), or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the
first time. The regulations take effect on February 7, 2022. The
regulations require that ELDT be conducted only by qualified training
providers and training instructors; drivers must obtain ELDT from a
training provider listed on FMCSA's Training Provider Registry. The
theory training instructor qualifications, set forth in the definition
of ``theory instructor'' in 49 CFR 380.605, are: (1) The instructor
must hold a CDL of the same (or higher) class and with all endorsements
necessary to operate the CMV for which training is to be provided and
has at least 2 years of experience driving a CMV requiring a CDL of the
same (or higher) class and/or the same endorsement and meets all
applicable State qualification requirements for CMV instructors; or (2)
the instructor must hold a CDL of the same (or higher) class and with
all endorsements necessary to operate the CMV for which training is to
be provided and has at least 2 years of experience as a BTW CMV
instructor and meets all applicable State qualification requirements
for CMV instructors. The definition of ``theory instructor'' in 49 CFR
380.605 includes an exception from the requirement that the instructor
currently hold a CDL and relevant endorsements if the instructor
previously held a CDL of the same or higher class and complies with the
other requirements set forth in the definition.
    Unlike the P and S endorsement training curricula, which include
both theory and BTW portions, the required H endorsement training is
theory only. The H endorsement theory curriculum, set forth in Appendix
E, applies to driver-trainees who intend to use CMVs to transport
hazardous materials as defined in 49 CFR 383.5. Because applicants are
not required to take an HM-specific skills test to obtain the H
endorsement, the ELDT regulations do not contain a BTW curriculum
requirement applicable to that endorsement. There are, however, BTW
ELDT requirements for applicants seeking a Class A or Class B CDL or a
P or S endorsement.

Applicant's Request

    Oak Harbor seeks an exemption, on behalf of its Pacific Northwest
Safety Supervisor, Mr. Jeff McLaughlin, from the ELDT theory instructor
qualifications set forth in the definition of the term ``theory
instructor'' in 49 CFR 380.605, as previously identified. Oak Harbor
requests the exemption so that Mr. McLaughlin will be able to provide
ELDT theory instruction pertaining to the transportation of HM by CMV.
Oak Harbor cites Mr. McLaughlin's extensive teaching experience and
subject matter expertise as the basis for its exemption request. Oak
Harbor further states that the road portion of the training would be
completed by BTW instructors that meet the ELDT requirements. A copy of
the exemption application is in the docket referenced at the beginning
of this notice.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Agency notes that Oak Harbor's application requests
exemption specifically from the requirement that theory instructors
hold a CDL of the same (or higher) class and with all endorsement
necessary to operate the CMV for which training is to be provided.
On August 30, 2022, in a conversation with Oak Harbor's Safety
Manager, Mr. Tom Mueller, FMCSA personnel confirmed that Oak Harbor
is seeking exemption from all the theory instructor qualification
requirements set forth in the definition of ``theory instructor'' in
49 CFR 380.605. A summary of that conversation can be found in the
docket for this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Equivalent Level of Safety

    Oak Harbor states that Mr. McLaughlin's experience and expertise in
the HM field would supersede HM training offered by other theory and
BTW training instructors and would enhance their HM materials and
safety program. Oak Harbor provided the following list of Mr.
McLaughlin's credentials:
     Over 20 years of experience as a certified State
commercial vehicle inspector holding certifications in Commercial
Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) Part A and B, Hazardous Materials, Tank
and other bulk packaging's, Motorcoach and Multi Surface HM
Transportation;
     18 years of experience as an FMCSA National Training
Center Basic HM instructor;
     Previous Region IV Cooperative Hazardous Materials
Enforcement Development (COHMED) Vice Chairman;
     Current COHMED Industry Liaison;
     Former Training Lieutenant, Supervisory Lieutenant and
District Captain in charge of CVSA and Hazardous Materials training and
recertification programs for the Montana Motor Carrier Services;
     Certified civilian CVSA Hazardous Materials instructor;
     Former Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain overseeing CMV
inspectors at the Montana/Alberta Joint Use Vehicle Inspection Station
Coutts, AB regulating enforcement of FMCSA and Transport Canada
regulations pertaining to vehicle safety and hazardous material/
dangerous goods regulations.

V. Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on Oak Harbor's application for an
exemption from the qualification requirements set forth in the
definition of ``theory instructor'' in 49 CFR 380.605. All comments
received before the close of business on the comment closing date
indicated at the beginning of this notice will be considered and will
be available for examination in the docket at the location listed under
the Addresses section of this notice. Comments received after the
comment closing date will be filed in the public docket and will be
considered to the extent practicable.
    In addition to late comments, FMCSA will also continue to file, in
the public docket, relevant information that becomes available after
the comment closing date. Interested persons should continue to examine
the public docket for new material.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2017-N-0001]

Developing a Framework for Regulatory Use of Real-World Evidence;
Public Workshop

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, the Agency, or we) is
announcing the following public workshop entitled ``Developing a
Framework for Regulatory Use of Real-World Evidence.'' Convened by the
Duke-Robert J. Margolis, MD, Center for Health Policy at Duke
University and supported by a cooperative agreement with FDA, the
purpose of the public workshop is to bring the stakeholder community
together to discuss a variety of topics related to the use of real-
world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) in drug development and
regulatory decision making. Topics will include an update on FDA's
activities to address the use of RWE in regulatory decisions and the
development of a framework for tackling challenges related to RWE's
regulatory acceptability. In addition, panelists will discuss
opportunities to improve data development activities, study designs,
and analytical methods used to create robust RWE.

DATES: The public workshop will be held on September 13, 2017, from 9
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time.

ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held at the Conference Center at
1777 F Street NW., Washington, DC 20006. For additional travel and
hotel information, please refer to the following Web site: https://healthpolicy.duke.edu/events/public-workshop-developing-framework-regulatory-use-real-world-evidence. There will also be a live webcast
for those unable to attend the meeting in person (see Streaming Webcast
of Public Workshop).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kayla Garvin, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6314, Silver Spring, MD 20993, (301) 796-
7578<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    RWD (data relating to patient health status and/or the delivery of
health care routinely collected from a variety of sources) and RWE
(clinical evidence regarding the usage and potential benefits or risks
of a drug derived from analysis of RWD) are increasingly being used by
multiple stakeholders within the health care system. Payers may rely on
RWD and RWE to refine formularies or assist in coverage decisions.
Physicians and professional societies can utilize RWE to further tailor
clinical practice guidelines and decision-support tools. Medical
product developers can use RWE to further develop a product's benefit-
risk profile, monitor postmarket safety and adverse events, or generate
additional hypotheses for continued clinical development.
    The 21st Century Cures Act, section 3022 (Pub. L. 114-255), enacted
on December 13, 2016, directed FDA to establish a program to evaluate
the potential use of RWE. The framework of the program was to include
information describing the sources of RWE, the gaps in data collection,
standards and methods for collection and analysis, and the priority
areas and challenges.
    To date, RWD and RWE have been used in very specific regulatory
contexts. Some treatments for rare diseases, for example, have utilized
RWE as part of the historical controls used for clinical study and,
ultimately, regulatory submission. Postmarket safety surveillance has
also relied heavily on RWD-generating networks. As part of exploring
the opportunities for enhanced use of these types of data and evidence
in additional regulatory decision-making contexts, FDA is seeking input
on the opportunities and challenges in using RWE to support the
approval of a new indication for an already approved drug, and to help
support or satisfy postapproval study requirements.
    This public workshop is being held to engage external stakeholders
in discussions around the current state of RWE development and
potential challenge areas for using RWE in regulatory decisions beyond
postmarket safety surveillance.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Workshop

    During the course of the public workshop, speakers and participants
will cover a range of issues related to

the development of RWE and its applicability within specific regulatory
decision-making contexts. This will include, but not be limited to,
challenges related to RWD collection and quality, innovative methods
for developing RWE from RWD, and promising areas for RWE pilot
demonstrations.
