The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: This ICR covers the collection of information from those
organizations that receive cooperative agreements from EPA under the
authority of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Brownfields Utilization,
Investment, and Local Development (BUILD) Act (Pub. L. 115-141).
CERCLA, as amended, authorizes EPA to award grants or cooperative
agreements to states, tribes, local governments, and other eligible
entities to support the assessment and cleanup of brownfields sites.
Under the Brownfields Amendments, a brownfields site means real
property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be
complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous
substance, pollutant, or contaminant. For funding purposes, EPA uses
the term ``brownfields property(ies)'' synonymously with the term
``brownfields sites.'' The Brownfields Amendments authorize EPA to
award several types of cooperative agreements to eligible entities on a
competitive basis.
    Under subtitle A of the Small Business Liability Relief and
Brownfields Revitalization Act, states, tribes, local governments, and
other eligible entities can receive assessment cooperative agreements
to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct planning and community
involvement related to brownfields properties; cleanup cooperative
agreements to carry out cleanup activities at brownfields properties;
multipurpose cooperative agreements to conduct activities allowed under
both assessment and cleanup cooperative agreements; cooperative
agreements to capitalize revolving loan funds and provide subgrants for
cleanup activities; area-wide planning cooperative agreements to
develop revitalization plans for brownfields; and environmental
workforce and development job training and placement programs. Under
subtitle C of the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields
Revitalization Act, states and tribes can receive cooperative
agreements to establish and enhance their response programs through the
four elements and meet the public record requirements under the
statute. Cooperative agreement recipients (``recipients'') have general
reporting and record keeping requirements as a condition of their
cooperative agreement that result in burden. A portion of this
reporting and record keeping burden is authorized under 2 CFR part 1500
and identified in the EPA's general grants ICR (OMB Control Number
2030-0020). EPA requires Brownfields program recipients to maintain and
report additional information to EPA on the uses and accomplishments
associated with funded brownfields activities. EPA uses several forms
to assist recipients in reporting the information and to ensure
consistency of the information collected. EPA uses this information to
meet Federal stewardship responsibilities to manage and track how
program funds are being spent, to evaluate the performance of the
Brownfields Cleanup and Land Revitalization Program, to meet the
Agency's reporting requirements under the Government Performance
Results Act, and to report to Congress and other program stakeholders
on the status and accomplishments of the program.
    Form Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2104.06, OMB Control No. 2050-0192.
    Respondents/affected entities: State/local/tribal governments; Non-
Profits.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or Retain
Benefits (2 CFR part 1500).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5,438 (total).
    Frequency of response: Bi-annual for subtitle C recipients;
quarterly for subtitle A recipients.
    Total estimated burden: 5,764 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $667,181 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
respondent

burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.

    Dated: June 12, 2020.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-79091; File No. SR-BatsEDGX-2016-57]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Bats EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change to Fees
for Use of Bats EDGX Exchange, Inc. Options Platform

October 13, 2016.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on October 6, 2016, Bats EDGX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or
``EDGX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III 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 the
Substance of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange filed a proposal to amend the fee schedule applicable
to Members \3\ and non-Members of the Exchange pursuant to EDGX Rules
15.1(a) and (c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The term ``Member'' is defined as ``any registered broker or
dealer that has been admitted to membership in the Exchange.'' See
Exchange Rule 1.5(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange's
Web site at www.batstrading.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 parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its fee schedule for its equity
options platform (``EDGX Options'') to: (i) Add definition of OCC
Customer Volume or OCV, to the Definitions section of the fee schedule;
and (ii) modify the criteria for the Customer Volume, Market Maker
Volume, and Firm Penny Pilot Cross-Asset Tiers to reflect the new
definition of OCV; and (iii) to make a non-substantive change.
OCC Customer Volume Definition
    The Exchange proposes to add the definition of ``OCC Customer
Volume'' or ``OCV'' to the definition section of its fee schedule. OCC
Customer Volume or OCV will be defined as the total equity and Exchange
Traded Fund (``ETF'') options volume that clears in the Customer \4\
range at the Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') for the month for
which the fees apply, excluding volume on any day that the Exchange
experiences an Exchange System Disruption \5\ and on any day with a
scheduled early market close.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As defined in the Exchange's fee schedule available at
http://www.batsoptions.com/support/fee_schedule/edgx/.
    \5\ An ``Exchange System Disruption'' means ``any day that the
Exchange's system experiences a disruption that lasts for more than
60 minutes during Regular Trading Hours.'' Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tier Qualifications Change

    The Exchange proposes to replace current tier qualifications which
refer to Total Consolidated Volume (``TCV'') \6\ with a reference to
OCV in the Customer Volume Tier, Market Maker Volume Tier and Firm
Penny Pilot Cross-Asset Tier, in Footnotes 1, 2 and 4, respectively.
Because OCV generally makes up a smaller range than the prior TCV, the
Exchange also proposes to amend the percentage of OCV necessary to
achieve the tier so that it is substantially identical to the
previously required percentage of TCV. Doing so will keep each tier's
criteria relatively unchanged from its current requirements. The rates
for each tier are unchanged. Changes to each tier are described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Customer Volume Tiers
    Customer orders that yield fee codes NC \7\ or PC \8\ and are given
a standard rebate of $0.05 per contract. Footnote 1 of the fee schedule
sets forth five tiers, each providing enhanced rebates, ranging from
$0.10 to $0.25 per contract, to a Member's order that yield fee codes
NC or PC upon satisfying monthly volume criteria based on an ADV \9\ in
Customer orders equal to or greater than a percentage of average TCV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Fee code NC is appended to a Member's order which removes
liquidity (Customer), Non-Penny. Id.
    \8\ Fee code PC is appended to a Member's order which removes
liquidity (Customer) Penny Pilot. Id.
    \9\ As defined in the Exchange's fee schedule available at
http://www.batsoptions.com/support/fee_schedule/edgx/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Tier 1 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.15% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Customer orders equal to or
greater than 0.20% of average OCV.
     Tier 2 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.30% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Customer orders equal to or
greater than 0.40% of average OCV.
     Tier 3 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.50% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Customer orders equal to or
greater than 0.65% of average OCV.
     Tier 4 currently requires that a Member has an ADV in
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.80% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Customer orders equal to or
greater than 1.05% of average OCV.
     Tier 5 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.05% of average TCV, and an
ADV in Customer or Market Maker \10\ orders equal to or greater than
0.25% of average TCV. As amended, a Member must have an ADV in Customer
orders equal to or greater than 0.05% of average OCV, and an

ADV in Customer or Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.35%
of average OCV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Market Marker Volume Tier
    Market Maker orders yield fee codes PM \11\ or NM \12\ and are
charged a standard fee of $0.19 per contract. Footnote 2 of the fee
schedule sets forth seven tiers, each providing a reduced fee ranging
from $0.01 to $0.16 per contract to a Member's order that yield fee
code PM or NM upon satisfying monthly volume criteria based on a Member
having an ADV in Market Maker orders equal to or greater than a
percentage of average TCV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Fee code PM is appended to a Members order which adds
liquidity (MM), Penny Pilot. Id.
    \12\ Fee code NM is appended to a Members order which adds
liquidity (MM), Non-Penny. Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Tier 1 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.05% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Market Maker orders equal to or
greater than 0.05% of average OCV.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The Exchange proposes to retain the 0.05% requirement as
adjusting that number to reflect replacing TCV with OCV will result
in a de minimmis change in the percentage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Tier 2 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.10% of average TCV. The
equivalent proposed calculation would require that a Member has an ADV
in Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.15% of average OCV.
     Tier 3 Currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.20% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Market Maker orders equal to or
greater than 0.25% of average OCV.
     Tier 4 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.30% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Market Maker orders equal to or
greater than 0.40% of average OCV.
     Tier 5 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.70% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Market Maker orders equal to or
greater than 0.95% of average OCV.
     Tier 6 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 1.10% of average TCV. As
amended, a Member must have an ADV in Market Maker orders equal to or
greater than 1.45% of average OCV.
     Tier 7 currently requires that a Member have an ADV in
Customer orders equal to or greater than 0.05% of average TCV, and an
ADV in Customer or Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.25%
of average TCV. As amended, a Member must have an ADV in Customer
orders equal to or greater than 0.05% of average OCV, and an ADV in
Customer or Market Maker orders equal to or greater than 0.35% of
average OCV.
Firm Penny Pilot Cross-Asset Tier
    Firm \14\ Penny Pilot \15\ orders yield fee code PF \16\ and are
charged a standard fee of $0.45 per contract. Footnote 4 of the fee
schedule sets forth a Cross-Asset Tier, providing a reduced fee of
$0.32 per contract for Member's order that yield fee code PF where that
Member has an ADV in Firm orders equal to or greater than 0.10% of
average TCV and an ADAV \17\ on the Exchange's equity platform (``EDGX
Equities'') equal to or greater than 0.12% of average TCV. As amended,
a Member must have an ADV in Firm orders equal to or greater than 0.15%
of average OCV, and on EDGX Equities an ADAV equal to or greater than
0.12% of average TCV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ As defined in the Exchange's fee schedule available at

    \15\ Id.
    \16\ Fee code PF is appended to a Members order which adds

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

Non-Substantive Change
    The header of each tier described on the Fee Schedule denotes three
columns, the first of which is labeled as ``Tier'' in Footnotes 1 and
2, and labeled as ``Description'' in Footnote 3 and footnote 4. To
harmonize the labeling of the tiers and promote clarity throughout the
fee schedule the Exchange proposes to label the first columns of
Footnotes 3 and 4, ``Tier.''
Implementation Date
    The Exchange proposes to implement the amendments to its fee
schedule immediately.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ The Exchange initially filed the proposed amendments to its
fee schedule on September 30, 1016 (SR-BatsEDGX-2016-56). On October
6, 2016, the Exchange withdrew SR-BatsEDGX-2016-56 and submitted
this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the objectives of Section 6 of the Act,\19\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4),\20\ in particular, as it is
designed to provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its Members and other persons using its
facilities. The Exchange also notes that it operates in a highly-
competitive market in which market participants can readily direct
order flow to competing venues if they deem fee levels at a particular
venue to be excessive. The Exchange believes that the proposed rates
are equitable and non-discriminatory in that they apply uniformly to
all Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fee structure remains intended to attract order flow
to the Exchange by offering market participants a competitive pricing
structure. The Exchange believes it is reasonable to offer and
incrementally modify incentives intended to help to contribute to the
growth of the Exchange. Volume-based rebates such as that described
herein have been widely adopted by exchanges, including the Exchange,
and are equitable because they are open to all Members on an equal
basis and provide additional benefits or discounts that are reasonably
related to: (i) The value to an exchange's market quality; (ii)
associated higher levels of market activity, such as higher levels of
liquidity provisions and/or growth patterns; and (iii) introduction of
higher volumes of orders into the price and volume discovery processes.
    The Exchange believes adopting a definition of OCV and utilizing
OCV in lieu of TCV is reasonable, fair and equitable, and non-
discriminatory because the Exchange also proposed to modify the tier's
related criteria in order to maintain substantially identical
requirements to qualify for the tier without changing the rate provided
for by the tiers. In addition, the amount of OCV historically tends to
remain reasonably consistent from month to month, as opposed to TCV
which is less consistent. OCV is also more consistent than options
volume that clears in the Market Maker or Firm range at the OCC, as
Market Maker and Firm volume may vary drastically from month to month
based on market events, as opposed to Customer options volume which
remains relatively consistent. Therefore, the Exchange believes
utilizing OCV would result in consistent tier criteria as OCV is a
relatively static monthly number which would enable market participants
to better predict whether they may achieve a tier criteria each month
and qualify for that tier's preferred pricing.
    The Exchange also believes that the use OCV provides a calculation
that is reasonably identical to and is not a significant departure from
previous tier qualifications conventions offered by

other exchanges \21\ The Exchange believes that the proposed
definitions of OCV is reasonable, fair and equitable, and non-
discriminatory, and will provide additional transparency to Members
regarding the calculations used to determine volume levels for purposes
of the proposed tiered pricing model.

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe its proposed amendment to its fee
schedule would impose any burden on competition that is not necessary
or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange
does not believe that the proposed changes represents a significant
departure from previous pricing offered by the Exchange or pricing
offered by the Exchange's competitors. The Exchange believes that its
proposal to amend the qualification criteria and to incorporate OCV as
proposed would not impose any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act
because the Exchange also proposed to modify the tier's related
criteria in order to maintain substantially identical requirements to
qualify for each tier. Additionally, Members may opt to disfavor the
Exchange's pricing if they believe that alternatives offer them better
value. Accordingly, the Exchange does not believe that the proposed
changes will impair the ability of Members or competing venues to
maintain their competitive standing in the financial markets. The
Exchange believes that its proposal would not burden intramarket
competition because the proposed rates would continue to apply
uniformly to all Members. As stated above, the Exchange notes that it
operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants
can readily direct order flow to competing venues if they deem fee
structures to be unreasonable or excessive. The Exchange does not
believe the proposed tiers and standard rates would burden intramarket
competition as they would apply to all Members uniformly.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \22\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\23\ 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.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2020-0027-N-28]

Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its
implementing regulations, this notice announces that FRA is forwarding
the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR
describes the information collection and its expected burden. On July
22, 2020, FRA published a notice providing a 60-day period for public
comment on the ICR.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
January 19, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed ICR
should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find the particular ICR by selecting
``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using
the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Hodan Wells, Information
Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Railroad Safety, Regulatory
Analysis Division, Federal Railroad Administration, telephone (202)
493-0440, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
issue two notices seeking public comment on information collection
activities before OMB may approve paperwork packages. See 44 U.S.C.
3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.8 through 1320.12. On July 22, 2020, FRA
published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register soliciting comment on
the ICR for which it is now seeking OMB approval. See 85 FR 44359. FRA
received no comments in response to this notice.
    Before OMB decides whether to approve the proposed collection of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. Federal law
requires OMB to approve or disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and
60 days after the 30-day notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)-(c); 5
CFR 1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983, Aug. 29, 1995. OMB
believes the 30-day notice informs the regulated community to file
relevant comments and affords the agency adequate time to digest public
comments before it renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 29, 1995.
Therefore, respondents should submit their respective comments to OMB
within 30 days of publication to best ensure having their full effect.
    Comments are invited on the following ICR regarding: (1) Whether
the information collection activities are necessary for FRA to properly
execute its functions, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA's estimates of the burden of
the information collection activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to determine the estimates; (3) ways
for FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
being collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    The summaries below describe the ICR that FRA will submit for OMB
clearance as the PRA requires:
    Title: Safety Appliance Standards Guidance Checklist Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-0565.
    Abstract: Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 231,
Railroad Safety Appliance Standards, was supplemented and expanded in
2013 to include the industry standard established by the Association of
American Railroads (AAR), Standard 2044 or S-2044, which prescribed
safety appliance arrangements for 11 new types of cars. As a result of
the inclusion, FRA developed Forms FRA F6180.161(a)-(k) as guidance
checklist forms to facilitate railroad, rail car owner, and rail
equipment manufacturer compliance with S-2044 and 49 CFR part 231.
    AAR has since updated S-2044 to include seven new types of cars. In

response, FRA is proposing to add seven new forms, Forms FRA
F6180.161(l)-(r), to the safety appliance standards guidance checklists
to cover these new types of cars.
    Additionally, FRA is updating the existing 11 forms to reflect
editorial changes that were made to S-2044.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Form(s): 11 forms (FRA F6180.161(a)-(k)), plus seven new forms (FRA
F 6180.161(l)-(r)).
    Respondent Universe: Car manufacturers/state inspectors.
    Frequency of Submission: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Responses: 142.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 142 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hour Dollar Cost Equivalent: $8,694.
    Under 44 U.S.C. 3507(a) and 5 CFR 1320.5(b) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi),
FRA informs all interested parties that a respondent is not required to
respond to, conduct, or sponsor a collection of information that does
not display a currently valid OMB control number.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.

Information Under Section 112(r)(7)(H) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as
Amended (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), ``Distribution of Offsite
Consequence Analysis Information under Section 112(r)(7)(H) of the
Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 1981.06, OMB
Control No. 2050-0172) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is
currently approved through June 30, 2016. Public comments were
previously requested via the Federal Register (80 FR 79891) on December
23, 2015 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an
additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR
is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public.
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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before May 25, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2003-0073, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred

jacob.sicy@epa,gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: 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). The Act required 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 was published on August 4, 2000 (65 FR 48108).
The regulations imposed minimal information and recordkeeping
requirements.
    In accordance with the final rule, 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.
    The final rule also authorizes and encourages state and local
government officials to have access to OCA information for their
official use, and to provide members of the public with read-only
access to OCA sections of RMPs for sources located within the
jurisdiction of the LEPC where the person lives or works and for any
other stationary sources with vulnerability zones extending into the
LEPC's jurisdiction.
    EPA also established a 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 VZIS 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 regular mail
request to the EPA.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: State and local agencies and the
public.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit (40 CFR 1400).
    Estimated number of respondents: 860 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 1,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $46,865 (per year), includes $620 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 15 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a slight reduction in the
number of state and local agencies requesting OCA information from EPA.
