    Title: NESHAP for Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other
Textiles (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2071.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0522.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2009. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics and
Other Textiles were proposed on July 11, 2002 (67 FR 46028),
promulgated on May 29, 2003 (68 FR 32172), and amended on August 4,
2004 (69 FR 47001). These standards apply to each existing, new or
reconstructed printing coating slashing, dyeing or finishing of fabric
and other textiles.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the
following notifications: (1) Initial notification; (2) notification of
initial performance test; and (3) notification of compliance status.
Affected sources must submit an initial compliance status report, and a
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plan. Respondents are also
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at
least five years following the collection 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 EPA regional office.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 69
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information either to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to

respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Printing, coating, and dyeing of
fabrics and other textiles facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 140.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 20,821.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,687,784: which is comprised of
$3,640 in O&M costs, $1,680,831 in Labor costs, and $2,953 in total
capital/startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in either the burden
hours or cost to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous
ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not
changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change
over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents
is very low, negative or nonexistent. Therefore, the labor hours and
cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the
respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. It should be noted that the
burden hours and annual cost shown in this ICR are somewhat different
than in the previous ICR due to the correction of a typographical error
and the more accurate rounding of numbers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to
OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard
collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information
describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection,
and other important information describing the Collection. There is one
ICR for each Collection. The Coast Guard invites comments on whether
this ICR should be granted based on the Collection being necessary for
the proper performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the
Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical
utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of
the Collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of information subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the Collection on respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. These
comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred
to in this Notice.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments
and related materials. Comments to Coast Guard or OIRA must contain the
OMB Control Number of the ICR. They must also contain the docket number
of this request, [USCG-2015-0910], and must be received by March 4,
2016.

Submitting Comments

    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate
instructions. Documents mentioned in this Notice, and all public
comments, are in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov and
can be viewed by following that Web site's instructions. Additionally,
if you go to the online docket and sign up for email alerts, you will
be notified when comments are posted.
    We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted
without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and

the docket, you may review a Privacy Act notice regarding the Federal
Docket Management System in the March 24, 2005, issue of the Federal
Register (70 FR 15086).
    OIRA posts its decisions on ICRs online at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain after the comment period for each ICR. An OMB Notice
of Action on each ICR will become available via a hyperlink in the OMB
Control Number: 1625-0001.

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day Notice (80 FR 64430, October 23, 2015)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). We received two comment submissions
to the 60-day Notice.
    The first commenter asked that future versions of the form CG-2692
be ``unlocked'' so that a computer application that the commenter's
company uses may auto-fill in the form data elements. We are unable to
accommodate this request at this time, as it is Coast Guard policy that
public use forms be locked/secured so they may not be modified.
However, this concern may be alleviated in the future as the Coast
Guard moves to permit the online submission of marine casualty reports.
    The second commenter raised five issues. The first issue raised by
the commenter stated that the ICR title ``Marine Casualty Information
and Periodic Chemical Testing Drug and Alcohol Testing of Commercial
Vessel Personnel'' is in error and could lead to erroneous reporting of
test results.
    We agree with the commenter that the historical use of the term
``Periodic'' may result in some confusion resulting in unnecessary
reporting of chemical test results to the Coast Guard. As a result, we
revised the title to remove that term and to better reflect the intent
of the collection. The revised title is ``Report of Marine Casualty &
Chemical Testing of Commercial Vessel Personnel''.
    The second issue raised by the commenter addressed the wording
found in the ``Need'' section of the 60-day Notice. The commenter
questioned the appropriateness of the term ``cured'' noting that the
opinion of a majority of substance abuse treatment specialists have
determined that substance abuse is never cured, but rather, is a
treatable medical condition. The commenter further noted that the Coast
Guard regulation, 46 CFR 16.201(f), acknowledges that the individual is
not required to be cured. Rather, that the individual is determined to
be of sufficiently low-risk for misuse by a Medical Review Officer.
    We agree with the commenter that the inclusion of the historical
term ``cured'' is inconsistent with existing Coast Guard regulations
regarding chemical testing requirements and that current substance-
abuse rehabilitative science determines addiction to be a treatable
condition that is not curable. For these reasons, we edited our
``Need'' section in this Notice to remove the term ``cured'' and
inserted language that is both consistent with existing Coast Guard
regulations and current substance-abuse rehabilitative science.
    The third issue raised by the commenter was a statement questioning
the data found on the form OMB 83-I of the ICR. The commenter stated
that it was challenging to understand the quantitative dispersion of
annual responses published in the ICR. The commenter asked for greater
specificity as to the representative value of the 180,489 annual
responses. The commenter requested additional information to include
identification information of the responders, a summary of the
responses, the timeframe in which the responses were received, a
comparison of the 180,489 responses received in other years and
finally, analytical data to determine the mean average of responses for
the last five years.
    We note that the form OMB 83-I information is a summary, and that a
detailed breakdown of the responses are found in Appendix A to the
Supporting Statement. The Supporting Statement and Appendix A are found
in the docket to the Notice (see documents USCG-2015-0910-0004 and
USCG-2015-0910-0005 respectively). Further we note that the number of
180,489 annual responses is generally consistent with year-over-year
comparisons and represents neither the least or greatest annual
response rate in recent years. Therefore, we hold this number to be
both accurate and representative of the annual response burden upon
industry. We do not agree with the commenter that an exhaustive
analytical review of the data is necessary.
    The fourth issue raised by the commenter questioned who is going to
be responsible for the completion of the proposed new forms [CG-2692C &
CG-2692D]? The commenter opined that the stated intent of the ICR, to
streamline the reporting process and to reduce the burden upon
industry, would not be the outcome of adding two new forms. The
commenter further stated that it should be the responsibility of the
Coast Guard to complete the new forms themselves.
    As explained in the 60-day Notice section entitled ``Why is the
Coast Guard Proposing to Add 2 New Forms'', these two new forms do not
seek to add any new information to be collected in the request.
Instead, they take certain sections of the existing form CG-2692 and
move them to these two new forms. Additionally, in the event there are
multiple entries required (e.g. several injuries, etc.) these new forms
easily facilitate multiple entries for the submitter. As with the
current forms and consistent with the regulatory requirements found in
Title 46 CFR part 4, the owner, agent, master, operator, or person in
charge of a vessel are responsible to complete the forms.
    The fifth issue raised by the commenter requested greater
information concerning the evaluation of comments from the maritime
industry and general public identifying the need to revise these forms
and to add two new forms. Specifically, the commenter asked if the
evaluation was published or if an information request was published to
facilitate this evaluation?
    The Coast Guard conducted multiple opportunities for marine
industry and public participation to the evaluation of the marine
casualty reporting process. This effort was made by the Coast Guard to
ensure both the marine industry and the public were provided multiple
opportunities to provide input to the revision of the marine casualty
reporting process. The Coast Guard also conducted a deliberative
internal review of process logistics to ensure that only information
necessary to evaluating marine casualties was included as required
reporting in the proposed new forms.
    The Coast Guard engagement with the marine industry and the public
was designed to ensure multiple opportunities for participation and to
include a broad representative sample of input. In 2013, the Coast
Guard's Towing Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) was consulted in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The input received
from TSAC, advising revision to the marine casualty reporting process,
contributed greatly to this proposal to reformat and restructure the
existing form CG-2692.
    Again in 2014, the Coast Guard sought-out input from the marine
industry and the public when we issued a Notice of Availability and
Request for Comments on January 14, 2014 (79 FR 2466) for a draft
Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC). This publication
provided guidance for the identification and reporting of marine
casualties.

    The comments received from the marine industry and the public to
this NVIC proposal, advising revision to the marine casualty reporting
process, contributed greatly to the proposal to reformat and
restructure the existing form CG-2692.

Information Collection Request

    1. Title: Report of Marine Casualty & Chemical Testing of
Commercial Vessel Personnel.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0001.
    Summary: Marine casualty information is needed for CG
investigations of commercial vessel casualties involving death, vessel
damage, etc., as mandated by Congress. Chemical testing information is
needed to improve CG detection/reduction of drug use by mariners.
    Need: Section 6101 of 46 U.S.C. as delegated by the Secretary of
Homeland Security to the Commandant, authorizes the Coast Guard to
prescribe regulations for the reporting of marine casualties involving
death, serious injury, material loss of property, material damage
affecting the seaworthiness of a vessel, or significant harm to the
environment. It also requires information on the use of alcohol being
included in a marine casualty report. Section 7503 of 46 U.S.C.
authorizes the Coast Guard to deny the issuance of licenses,
certificates of registry, and merchant mariner's documents (seaman's
papers) to users of dangerous drugs. Similarly, 46 U.S.C. 7704 requires
the Coast Guard to revoke such papers when a holder of the same has
been shown to be a drug user unless the holder provides satisfactory
proof that the holder has successfully completed a rehabilitation
program acceptable to the Coast Guard and is determined to be, by a
competent substance abuse professional, free from misuse of chemical
substances and that the risk of subsequent misuse of chemical
substances is sufficiently low to justify returning to safety-sensitive
positions..
    Forms: CG-2692, Report of Marine Casualty, Commercial Diving
Casualty, or OCS-related Casualty; CG-2692A, Barge Addendum; CG-2692B,
Report of Mandatory Chemical Testing Following a Serious Marine
