SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Rule 17a-7, SEC File No. 270-147, OMB Control No. 3235-0131

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 17a-
7 (17 CFR 240.17a-7) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17a-7 requires a non-resident broker-dealer (generally, a
broker-dealer with its principal place of business in a place not
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States) registered or
applying for registration pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act to
maintain--in the United States--complete and current copies of books
and records required to be maintained under any rule adopted under the
Exchange Act and furnish to the Commission a written notice specifying
the address where the copies are located. Alternatively, Rule 17a-7
provides that non-resident broker-dealers may file with the Commission
a written undertaking to furnish the requisite books and records to the
Commission upon demand within 14 days of the demand.
    There are approximately 45 non-resident brokers and dealers. Based
on the Commission's experience, the Commission estimates that the
average amount of time necessary to comply with Rule 17a-7 is one hour
per year. Accordingly, the total industry-wide reporting burden is
approximately 45 hours per year. Assuming an average cost per hour of
approximately $291 for a compliance manager, the total internal cost of
compliance for the respondents is approximately $13,095 per year.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ $291 per hour for a compliance manager is from SIFMA's
Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry 2013,
modified by Commission staff for an 1800-hour work-year, multiplied
by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits, and
overhead, and adjusted for inflation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following Web site: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should
be directed to (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an email to:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2010-1161; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-152-AD;
Amendment 39-16658; AD 2011-08-08]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
(EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    It has been found occurrence of screw units manufactured with
metallographic non-conformity that may increase their susceptibility
to brittle fracture. The screw failure may result in loss of the
related balance washer causing a possible ram air turbine (RAT)
imbalance event, which may result in RAT structural failure, which
associated with an electrical emergency situation, could result in
loss of power to airplane flight controls hydraulic back-up system.
* * * * *
Loss of power to the hydraulic back-up system for airplane flight
controls could reduce the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the
safe flight and landing of the airplane. We are issuing this AD to
require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 18, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 18, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 1, 2010 (75
FR 74670). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    It has been found occurrence of screw units manufactured with
metallographic non-conformity that may increase their susceptibility
to brittle fracture. The screw failure may result in loss of the
related balance washer causing a possible ram air turbine (RAT)
imbalance event, which may result in RAT structural failure, which
associated with an electrical emergency situation, could result in
loss of power to airplane flight controls hydraulic back-up system.
* * * * *
Loss of power to the hydraulic back-up system for airplane flight
controls could reduce the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the
safe flight and landing of the airplane. Required actions include doing
a general visual inspection to determine the model, part number, and
serial number of the RAT, and to determine if a certain symbol is
marked on affected RATs. Corrective actions include replacing the RAT
balance screw and marking the RAT identification plate. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Request To Include Service Bulletin for Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ Airplanes

    EMBRAER requested that we add EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190LIN-24-
0006, dated July 27, 2010, to the NPRM, because it applies to Model ERJ
190-100 ECJ airplanes which are included in the NPRM applicability. The
commenter requested that we change paragraphs (g), (h), (i), and (k) of
the NPRM accordingly.
    We agree that EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190LIN-24-0006, dated July
27, 2010, is acceptable for accomplishing the required actions of the
AD for Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ airplanes. We have added a new paragraph
(i) to this AD (and renumbered subsequent paragraphs accordingly) to
refer to that service bulletin as an optional method of compliance for
the requirements of this AD for those airplanes. This addition has been
coordinated with the Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o
Civil (ANAC), the aviation authority for Brazil.

Clarification of Terminology

    Paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of the NPRM specified to ``replace the RAT
balance screw with a new balance screw,'' while some RATs in fact have
more than one balance screw. We have clarified that instruction by
stating ``replace the RAT balance screw(s) with a new balance
screw(s),'' in this final rule.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 241 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 9 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $184,365, or $765 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

2011-08-08 Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A. (EMBRAER):
Amendment 39-16658. Docket No. FAA-2010-1161; Directorate Identifier
2010-NM-152-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective May 18,
2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica
S.A. (EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, and -100 SU
airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, and -200 STD
airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100 LR, -100 ECJ, and -100
IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and -200 IGW
airplanes; certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 24:
Electrical power.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    It has been found occurrence of screw units manufactured with
metallographic non-conformity that may increase their susceptibility
to brittle fracture. The screw failure may result in loss of the
related balance washer causing a possible ram air turbine (RAT)
imbalance event, which may result in RAT structural failure, which
associated with an electrical emergency situation, could result in
loss of power to airplane flight controls hydraulic back-up system.
* * * * *
Loss of power to the hydraulic back-up system for airplane flight
controls could reduce the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the
safe flight and landing of the airplane.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Actions

    (g) Within 1,200 flight hours or 6 months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first: Do a general visual
inspection (GVI) to determine the RAT model, part number, and serial
number, in accordance with Part 1 of the Accomplishment Instructions
of EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-24-0048, Revision 01, dated May 12,
2010; or EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190-24-0019, Revision 01, dated
May 11, 2010; as applicable. A review of airplane maintenance
records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the model, part
number, and serial number of the RAT can be conclusively determined
from that review.

    Note 1: For the purpose of this AD, a GVI is: ``A visual
examination of an interior or exterior area, installation or
assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity. This
level of inspection is made from within touching distance, unless
otherwise specified. A mirror may be necessary to enhance visual
access to all exposed surfaces in the inspection area. This level of
inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions such
as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or drop-light, and may
require removal or opening of access panels or doors. Stands,
ladders or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area
being checked.''

    (1) For any RAT not having a serial number identified in EMBRAER
Service Bulletin 170-24-0048, Revision 01, dated May 12, 2010; or
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190-24-0019, Revision 01, dated May 11,
2010: No further action is required by this paragraph.
    (2) For any RAT having a serial number identified in EMBRAER
Service Bulletin 170-24-0048, Revision 01, dated May 12, 2010; or
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190-24-0019, Revision 01, dated May 11,
2010: Within 1,200 flight hours or 6 months after the effective date
of this AD, whichever occurs first, inspect to determine if the
symbol ``24-5'' is marked on the RAT identification plate. A review
of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this
inspection if the RAT identification plate can be conclusively
determined to be marked with ``24-5'' from that review.
    (i) If the symbol ``24-5'' is marked on the RAT identification
plate: No further action is required by this paragraph.
    (ii) If the symbol ``24-5'' is not marked on the RAT
identification plate: Within 1,200 flight hours or 6 months after
the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first, replace the
RAT balance screw(s) with a new balance screw(s), and mark the RAT
identification plate with the symbol ``24-5,'' in accordance with
Part 2 of the Accomplishment Instructions of EMBRAER Service
Bulletin 170-24-0048, Revision 01, dated May 12, 2010; or EMBRAER
Service Bulletin 190-24-0019, Revision 01, dated May 11, 2010; as
applicable.
    (h) As of the effective date of this AD, no person may install a
RAT identified in Part 1 of the Accomplishment Instructions of
EMBRAER Service Bulletin 170-24-0048, Revision 01, dated May 12,
2010; or EMBRAER Service Bulletin 190-24-0019, Revision 01, dated
May 11, 2010; as applicable; on any airplane, unless that RAT is
identified with the symbol ``24-5'' on the identification plate.

Acceptable Method of Compliance for Model ERJ 190-100 ECJ Airplanes

    (i) Actions accomplished in accordance with EMBRAER Service
Bulletin 190LIN-24-0006, dated July 27, 2010, for Model ERJ 190-100
ECJ airplanes, are considered acceptable for compliance with the
corresponding actions specified in this AD.

Credit for Actions Accomplished in Accordance With Previous Service
Information

    (j) Actions accomplished before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with EMBRAER Service Bulletins 170-24-0048 or 190-24-
0019, both dated March 31, 2010, as applicable, are considered
acceptable for compliance with the corresponding actions specified
in this AD.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
    (1) The Brazilian ADs apply to ``airplanes equipped with
Hamilton Sundstrand ram air turbine (RAT), Model ERPS37T, Part
Number (P/N) 1703781 Series; with the serial numbers (S/N) contained
in Embraer Service Bulletin[s 170-24-0048 or 190-24-0019],'' and
their first action is an inspection to determine if affected
equipment is installed. This AD applies to all of the airplanes,
with the first action in the AD being an inspection to determine if
affected equipment is installed, because the affected part could be
rotated onto any of the airplanes listed in the applicability of
this AD.
    (2) Although the MCAI states not to install the part identified
in paragraph (h) of this AD after accomplishing the actions
specified in paragraph (g)(2) of this AD, this AD prohibits
installation of the part as of the effective date of this AD.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (k) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International

Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the International Branch, send it to ATTN: Cindy

Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Information may be e-mailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
local flight standards district office/certificate holding district
office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this
AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63746; File No. SR-NYSEAmex-2011-05]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Amex LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Adopting Standards
for Market Maker Electronic Quotes That Are Present During an Opening
Auction

January 20, 2011.
    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 January 14, 2011, NYSE Amex LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``NYSE
Amex'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    The Exchange proposes to adopt standards for Market Maker
electronic quotes that are present during an opening auction. The text
of the proposed rule change is available at the Exchange, the
Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.nyse.com.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of this filing is to adopt rules governing quote widths
for Market

Maker electronic quotes that are present during an opening auction,
based on a provision of the Rules of NASDAQ OMX PHLX (``Phlx''), by
revising the Obligations of Market Makers in Rule 925NY.
    Currently, the only restriction on quote widths for NYSE Amex
Market Maker electronic quotes is that they be no more than $5 wide.
The Exchange has found that the absence of more narrow quotes during an
opening auction has prevented series from opening promptly and is
unnecessarily delaying the execution of orders.
    The Exchange proposes to adopt a provision based on Phlx Rule
1014(c)(i)(A)(2)(a). The Phlx rule sets the maximum bid/ask
differential for electronic quotes at $5, but also requires electronic
quotes that are submitted during an opening rotation to have a bid/ask
differential that is consistent with the quote width requirements for
open outcry trading. NYSE Amex intends to modify the requirements of
NYSE Amex Rule 925NY(b) \3\ to also apply them to quotes submitted for
possible participation in a Trading Auction as defined in Rule 952NY.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ While our proposed rule text is not exactly identical to
Phlx Rule 1014(c)(i)(A)(2)(a), the intent and impact of the rule is
the same--namely, to provide for narrower quotes during an opening
auction, which in turn helps facilitate a prompt and efficient
opening. As discussed below, we believe that this proposed rule
change qualifies for immediate effectiveness as a ``non-
controversial'' rule change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4. 17
CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, the Exchange proposes that an electronic quote that
is submitted for possible participation in an opening auction must have
a bid/ask differential of no more than:
    (A) .25 between the bid and the offer for each option contract for
which the bid is less than $2,
    (B) No more than .40 where the bid is $2 or more but does not
exceed $5,
    (C) No more than .50 where the bid is more than $5 but does not
exceed $10,
    (D) No more than .80 where the bid is more than $10 but does not
exceed $20, and
    (E) No more than $1 when the last bid is $20.10 or more.
    These differentials are common in the options industry,\4\ and are
often referred to as ``legal width''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See, e.g., Boston Options Exchange Rule Chapter VI
Sec.5(a)(vii), International Securities Exchange Rule 803(b)(4),
NASDAQ OMX PHLX Rule 1014(c)(i)(A)(1)(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As is currently the case, different bid/ask differentials would be
permitted to be established, but only with the approval of at least two
Trading Officials.
    The Exchange believes that setting a narrower differential for
opening auction quotes will expedite the opening of all options series
on the Exchange promptly after the opening of the underlying security.
    NYSE Arca [sic] will implement this rule change upon notification
to OTP Holders through the issuance of a Regulatory Bulletin.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b) \5\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),
in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) \6\ in
particular in that it is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to
remove impediments to and to perfect the mechanism for a free and open
market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest, by expediting the opening auction
process and the execution of Customer orders submitted for the opening.

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

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (1) Does not
significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (2) does not impose any significant burden on competition;
and (3) by its terms does not become operative for 30 days after the
date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may
designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to provide the Commission
with written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change,
along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change,
at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has fulfilled this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OLEM-2022-0440; FRL-10202-01-OMS]

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; Gathering Data on Results of Annual and
Triennial Testing To Evaluate the Impacts of EPA's 2015 Federal
Underground Storage Tank Regulation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), Gathering Data on Results of
Annual and Triennial Testing to Evaluate the Impacts of EPA's 2015
Federal Underground Storage Tank Regulation (EPA ICR Number 2650.02,
OMB Control Number 2050-NEW) to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act. This is a request for approval of a new collection.
Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register on
June 2, 2022 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 October 11,
2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA- HQ-
OLEM-2022-0440, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection
Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC
20460, and (2) OMB via email to [email protected]. Address
comments to OMB Desk Officer for EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
    Submit written comments and recommendations to OMB for the proposed
information collection within 30 days of publication of this notice to
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for
Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth McDermott, Prevention
Division, Office of Underground Storage Tanks, (Mail Code 5401R),
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington,
DC 20460; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address:
[email protected].

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 information collection request will allow EPA to
employ a contractor to compile data from private companies providing
compliance testing to owners of federally regulated underground storage
tank systems (USTs). The completed dataset of test results will allow
EPA to evaluate the effectiveness of several of the newly required
measures to prevent fuel releases included in the 2015 federal UST
regulation: spill containment liquid tightness testing, containment
sump liquid tightness testing (for containment sumps used for
interstitial monitoring of piping of single-wall construction),
overfill equipment inspections, and two types of annual leak detection
equipment testing. EPA is interested in quantitatively assessing if
passing rates improve between initial and subsequent rounds of testing
in the 15 states from which data will be collected. EPA will use the
data to identify if, and by how much, testing required by the
regulation impacts equipment performance over time. EPA will use this
information to enhance national UST program performance. EPA will share
the information gathered from this collection with all state
implementing agencies, who could use the results to better inform their
future regulations, policies, and guidance for preventing UST releases.
Sharing this information will help states implement their programs
better, which will help EPA execute national UST program goals and
better protect human health and the environment.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: UST testing and compliance
companies, UST facility owners and operators.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 60.
    Frequency of response: One-time collection.
    Total estimated burden: 1,275 hours per year. Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $53,398.75 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.

    Changes in the Estimates: This is a request for a new collection.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information on a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed proposed interim decisions for all pesticides
listed in the Table in Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring
that each pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and
other knowledge, including its effects on human health and the
environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's proposed interim registration review decisions for the
pesticides shown in Table 1, and opens a 60-day public comment period
on the proposed interim registration review decisions.

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

    The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review case. For example, the
review opened with a Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final
Work Plan was placed in the docket following public comment on the
Preliminary Work Plan.
    The documents in the dockets describe EPA's rationales for
conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of
the pesticides included in the tables in Unit IV, as well as the
Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed interim registration review
decisions are supported by the rationales included in those documents.
Following public comment, the Agency will issue interim or final
registration review decisions for the pesticides listed in Table 1 in
Unit IV.
    The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed interim
registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to

BILLING CODE 9111-19-P


SF 83 SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities ( 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) ( Renewal 1. Identification of the Information Collection 1( a) Title of the Information Collection NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities ( 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) ( Renewal)

1( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract The New Source Performance Standards ( NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS were proposed on January 22, 1986, and promulgated on October 3, 1988. These standards apply to each coating operation and each piece of coating mix preparation equipment commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS.

In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NSPS.

Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) regional office.

Approximately six sources are currently subject to the standard, and it is estimated that an additional zero sources per year will become subject to the regulation in the next three years. It is further assumed that two coating lines per year are to be constructed at existing sources over the next three years. There is a reduction in the number of sources due to industry consolidation.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection The EPA is charged under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act ( CAA), as amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary sources that reflect: 2 . . . application of the best technological system of continuous emissions reduction which ( taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emissions reduction, or any non air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated. Section 111( a)( l).

The Agency refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated technology ( BDT). Section 111 also requires that the Administrator review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every four years.

In addition, Section 114( a) states that the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:

( A) Establish and maintain such records; ( B) make such reports; ( C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; ( D) sample such emissions ( in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); ( E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; ( F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114( a)( 3); and ( G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, Volatile Organic Compound ( VOC) emissions from magnetic tape manufacturing cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart SSS.

The active ( previous) Information Collection Request ( ICR) had the following Terms of Clearance ( TOC):

In the previous submission of this package, costs were reported in dollars rather than thousands of dollars. To account for that error, an adjustment of $ 101,119 was recorded in addition to the $ 8 that was reported on the 83 I. Thus, the total adjustment recorded was $ 101,127. 3 EPA has addressed this adjustment by reporting the total annualized cost from the current OMB inventory as the corrected value, 93 ( thousand dollars) in OMB Form 83 I, and using that as a basis for further calculations.

2( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data The control of emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds ( VOCs) from magnetic tape manufacturing requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Emissions of VOCs from magnetic tape manufacturing are the result of the operation of coating equipment, and the operation of coating mix preparation equipment. The subject standards are achieved by the recovery or destruction of VOC emissions by control devices. The notifications required in the applicable regulations are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated and the regulations are being met. Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's record of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and serve as a record of the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. The information generated by the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by the NSPS continue to operate the control equipment in compliance with the regulation. Adequate monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting are necessary to ensure compliance with these standards, as required by the Clean Air Act. The information collected from recordkeeping and reporting requirements is also used for targeting inspections, and is of sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS.

3( a) Nonduplication If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted their own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists. 4 3( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register ( 68 FR 27059) on May 19, 2003. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3( c) Consultations EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards ( OAQPS) conducted a recent review and discussions with industry during the Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Residual Risk Assessment evaluation. Results from that activity were used in preparation of this ICR.

3( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the likelihood of detecting poor operation and maintenance of control equipment and noncompliance would decrease.

3( e) General Guidelines None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.

3( f) Confidentiality Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3( g) Sensitive Questions None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive questions. 5 4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4( a) Respondents/ SIC and NAICS Codes The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are magnetic tape manufacturers. The SIC code for the respondents affected by the standards is SIC ( United States Standard Industrial Classification) 3695 which corresponds to the NAICS ( The North American Industry Classification System) 334613 for magnetic and optical recording media manufacturing.

4( b) Information Requested ( i) Data Items All data in this ICR that is recorded and/ or reported is required by 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS.

Notification Reports Construction/ reconstruction 60.7( a)( 1)

Actual startup 60.7( a)( 3)

Initial performance test results 60.8( a)

Initial performance test 60.8( d)

Demonstration of continuous monitoring system 60.7( a)( 5)

Physical or operational change 60.7( a)( 4)

A source must keep the following records:

Recordkeeping Startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative 60.7( b)

Records are required to be retained for two years. Records must be kept onsite. 60.717 6 Electronic Reporting Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides parameter data in an automated way, e. g., inlet and outlet concentrations when determining percent efficiency. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. In addition, some regulatory agencies are setting up electronic reporting systems to allow sources to report electronically which is reducing the reporting burden. However, electronic reporting systems are still not widely used by the regulatory agencies. It is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

ii. Respondent Activities Respondent Activities Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a device to indicate cumulative VOC recovered ( when monthly liquid balance is to be performed) [ 40 CFR, Section 60.713( b)( 1)].

5. The Information Collected  Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management 5( a) Agency Activities EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.

Agency Activities Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Air Facility System ( AFS).

5( b) Collection Methodology and Management Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. 8 Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.

Information contained in the reports is entered into the AFS which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. AFS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance and annual emission inventory data for more than 100,000 industrial and government owned facilities. EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for two years.

5( c) Small Entity Flexibility There are no small businesses affected by this regulation at present, and no small businesses are expected to become subject to the regulation in the next three years.

5( d) Collection Schedule The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.

The 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. 9 6( a) Estimating Respondent Burden The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 2,017 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

6( b) Estimating Respondent Costs ( i) Estimating Labor Costs This ICR uses a Technical Labor Rate of $ 64.13 per hour. This rate is from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2003, " Table 10. Private industry, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, " Total compensation." The rate has been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the standards are labor and continuous emission monitoring systems ( CEMs). The capital startup costs are one time costs when a facility becomes subject to the standard. The annual operations and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor. Total respondent costs have been calculated on the addition of the capital startup costs and the annual operations and maintenance costs.

( iii) Capital/ Startup vs. Operating and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs Capital/ Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs ( A) Continuous Monitoring Device ( B) Capital/ Startu p Cost for One Respondent ( C) Number of New Respondents ( D) Total Capital/ Startu p Cost, ( B X C) ( E) Annual O& M Costs for One Respondent ( F) Number of Respondents with O& M ( G) Total O& M, ( E X F)

CEM $ 29,000 1 $ 29,000 $ 2,100 4 ( 60% of sources) $ 4,800 Thermocouple $ 2,300 2 $ 4,600 $ 8,000 6 $ 48,000 10 The total capital/ startup costs for this ICR are $ 33,600. This is the total of column D in the above table. These costs are shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( a), Total annualized capital/ startup costs.

The total operation and maintenance costs for this ICR are $ 52,800. This is the total of column G. These costs are shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( b), Total annual costs ( O& M).

The total respondent costs in block 14 have been calculated as the addition of the capital/ startup costs, and the annual operation and maintenance costs. The average annual cost for capital/ startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 86,400. This cost is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( c), Total annualized cost requested. The numbers in block 14 of the OMB 83 I form are rounded to show the cost in thousands of dollars. The continuous monitoring costs that are included in this section consist only of those capital/ startup and O& M costs that a source incurs as a result of the standard. Some continuous monitoring costs may not be included in this section. For instance, if a particular industry typically utilizes a control device that must have a continuous monitor ( e. g., temperature, pressure drop, etc.) to function properly, and the recordation of additional measurements beyond the minimum are required by the standard, then there is no capital/ startup or O& M cost, but there is a labor cost to record the additional readings. Such a cost would not appear in this section, but in the industry burden Section 6( d) below.

6( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 6,202 [ see Table 2 in Section 6( e)]. This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate at a GS 12, Step 1, times an 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses for a total of $ 39.49. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management ( OPM) " 2003 General Schedule" which excludes locality rates of pay. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost, NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities, 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS, below.

6( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs Based on our research for this ICR, approximately six existing sources currently subject to the standard. It is estimated that an additional zero sources per year will become subject to the 11 regulation in the next three years. It is further assumed that two coating lines per year are to be constructed at existing sources over the next three years.

Number of respondents is calculated using the following table which addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents Respondents That Submit Reports Respondents That Do Not Submit Any Reports Year ( A) Number of New Respondents ( B) Number of Existing Respondents ( C) Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records but Do Not Submit Reports ( D) Number of Existing Respondents That Are Also New Respondents ( E) Number of Respondents ( E= A+ B+ C D)

1 2 6 0 2 6 2 2 6 0 2 6 3 2 6 0 2 6 Average 2 6 0 2 6 To avoid double counting respondents, column D is subtracted. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three year period of this ICR is six ( 6). This number appears on the OMB 83 I form in block 13( a), Number of respondents.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the following table:

Total Annual Responses ( A) Number of New Respondents ( B) Number of Reports for New Respondents ( C) Number of Existing Respondents ( D) Number of Reports for Existing Respondents ( F) Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records but Do Not Submit Reports ( E) Total Annual Responses E=( AxB)+( CxD)+ F 2 4.5 6 2.4 0 23.4 The number of Total Annual Responses is 23 ( rounded). This number is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13( b), Total annual responses. 12 The Total Hours Requested is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13( c). The total annual labor costs are $ 129,376. The annual labor costs are not shown on the OMB 83 I form. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost, NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities, 40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS.

Note that the total annual capital and O& M costs to the regulated entity are $ 86,400. This number is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14( c), Total annualized cost requested. These costs are detailed in Section 6( b)( iii), Capital/ Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs.

6( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables The bottom line burden hours and cost tables for both the Agency and the respondents are attached. The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 88 hours per response.

6( f) Reasons for Change in Burden The adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. This adjustment decrease in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources based on a recent review and discussions with industry during the Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Residual Risk Assessment evaluation.

6( g) Burden Statement The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 88 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15. 13 To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number OECA 2003 0023, which is available for public viewing at the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center ( EPA/ DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, N.
