14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0450; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-250-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
The Boeing Company Model MD-90-30 airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by reports of cracks emanating from the aft-most barrel nut
holes of the left and right upper rear spar caps of the horizontal
stabilizer. This proposed AD would require repetitive high frequency
eddy current (ETHF) inspections for cracks in the areas around the two
aft-most barrel nut holes of the upper rear spar caps, and corrective
action if necessary; and repetitive ETHF inspections for cracks in the
areas around the two aft-most barrel nut holes of any repaired or
replaced upper rear spar cap, and corrective actions if necessary. We
are proposing this AD to detect and correct such cracks, which could
propagate until the upper rear spar cap severs, and result in failure
of the horizontal stabilizer upper center or aft skin panel and
adversely affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 2,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2014-0450;
Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-250-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We have received reports of cracks emanating from the aft-most
barrel nut holes of the left and right upper rear spar caps of the
horizontal stabilizer. One airplane had accumulated 40,144 total flight
hours and 32,253 total landing cycles, while another airplane had
accumulated 58,296 total flight hours and 43,512 total landing cycles.
Investigations have determined that the cracks were caused by fatigue.
In both cases, the cracks originated inside of the barrel nut holes,
and radiated vertically and in the aft direction from the barrel nut
holes. This condition, if not corrected, could result in cracks in the
horizontal stabilizer, which could propagate until it severs the upper
rear spar cap, and result in failure of the horizontal stabilizer upper
center or aft skin panel and adversely affect the structural integrity
of the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin MD90-55A017, dated
September 27, 2013. For information on the procedures and compliance
times, see this service information at http://www.regulations.gov by
searching for Docket No. FAA-2014-0450.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing repetitive high
frequency eddy current (ETHF) inspections for cracks of the areas
around the aft-most barrel nut holes of the upper rear spar caps, and
corrective actions if necessary; and repetitive ETHF inspections for
cracks at the two aft-most barrel nut holes of the repaired or replaced
upper rear spar cap, and corrective actions if necessary.
    The phrase ``corrective actions'' is used in this proposed AD.
``Corrective actions'' are actions that correct or address any
condition found. Corrective actions in an AD could include, for
example, repairs.

Difference Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Table 1 of paragraph 1.E., ``Compliance,'' of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin MD90-55A017, dated September 27, 2013, specifies post-repair
inspections of the upper rear spar cap of the aft flange that has been
splice-repaired, which may be used in support of compliance with
Section 121.1109(c)(2) or 129.109(b)(2) of the Federal Aviation
Regulations (14 CFR 121.1109(c)(2) or 14 CFR 129.109(b)(2)). However,
this NPRM does not propose to require those post-repair inspections.
This difference has been coordinated with Boeing.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 52 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                            Cost per
            Action                   Labor cost          Parts cost         product      Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection...................  9 work-hours X $85     $1,410..........  $2,175 per       Up to $113,100 per

                                inspection cycle.                        cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary repairs and
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these repairs and replacements:

                                               On-condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                    per hour = $31,280.
Replacement......................  368 work[dash]hours X $85  $81,764.............  $113,044.
                                    per hour = $31,280.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This

proposed AD would 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 proposed
regulation:
    (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),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Grob-Werke Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Grob-
Werke Model G115EG airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued 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 cracks in
the elevator trim tab arms on several Grob G 115 airplanes, which could
result in failure of the part and consequent loss of control. We are
issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: This AD is effective May 23, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of May 23, 2013.

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 January 15, 2013 (78
FR 2910). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    On several Grob G 115 aeroplanes, elevator trim tab arms Part
Number (P/N) 115E-3758 have been found cracked, from a rear mounting
hole (either L/H or R/H) to the rear edge of the trim tab arm.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
further crack propagation, possibly resulting in failure of the part
and consequent loss of control of the aeroplane.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires repetitive
inspections of the elevator trim tab arm to detect cracks and, if
detected, replacement of the part with a serviceable part.
    This AD also provides an optional terminating action for the
repetitive inspections.

    The Model G115EG airplane is the only airplane type-certificated in
the United States with the same part numbers and similar configuration
as the airplane model described in the MCAI.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (78 FR 2910, January 15,
2013) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 2910, January 15, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 2910, January 15, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 0 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take about 3 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $372 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $627 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.

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:

2013-08-04 Grob-Werke: Amendment 39-17421; Docket No. FAA-2013-0013;
Directorate Identifier 2012-CE-046-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective May 23,
2013.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to GROB-WERKE G115EG airplanes, all serial
numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 55: Stabilizers.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by the discovery of cracks in the elevator
trim tab arms on several Grob G 115 airplanes, which could result in
failure of the part and consequent loss of control. The Model G115EG
airplane is the only airplane type-certificated in the United States
with the same part numbers and similar configuration as the airplane
model described in the MCAI. We are issuing this proposed AD to
detect cracks and prevent the part from failing.

 (f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions following Grob
Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1078-186/3, dated August 3, 2012.
    (1) Within the next 50 hours time-in-service (TIS) after May 23,
2013 (the effective date of this AD) and repetitively thereafter at
intervals not to exceed 200 hours TIS, inspect both left hand (L/H)
and right hand (R/H) elevator trim tab arms, part number (P/N) 115E-
3758, using a nondestructive testing (NDT) method such as a dye-
penetrant or eddy-current that is beyond just a visual inspection.
    (2) If during any inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of
this AD a crack is found, before further flight, replace the
affected elevator trim tab arm with P/N 115E-3758/1. The replacement
of an elevator trim tab arm with P/N 115E-3758/1 will terminate the
repetitive inspection requirement for that trim tab arm. Replacement
of both R/H and L/H trim tab arms with P/N 115E-3758/1 will
terminate the repetitive requirement in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.
    (3) Replacement at any time of an elevator trim tab arm with P/N
115E-3758/1 will terminate the repetitive requirement in paragraph
(f)(1) of this AD for that elevator trim tab arm. Replacement of
both R/H and L/H trim tab arms with P/N 115E-3758/1 will terminate
the repetitive requirement in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.

(g) Credit for Actions Accomplished in Accordance With Previous Service
Information

    This AD provides credit for the actions required in this AD if
already done before the effective date of this AD following Grob
Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1078-186/2, dated March 28, 2012;
Grob Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1078-186/1, dated March 8,
2012; or Grob Aircraft Service Bulletin No. MSB1078-186, dated
February 15, 2012.

(h) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Taylor Martin, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small
Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri
64106; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Before using any approved AMOC on any
airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate
principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office
(FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (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.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, a federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person
is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a collection of information
subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless
that collection of information displays a current valid OMB Control
Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is
2120-0056. Public reporting for this collection of information is
estimated to be approximately 5 minutes per response, including the
time for reviewing instructions, completing and reviewing the
collection of information. All responses to this collection of

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30808; Amdt. No. 3448]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective October 26, 2011. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of October 26, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_
federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    Availability--All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available
online free of charge. Visit http://www.nfdc.faa.gov to register.
Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP copies may
be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs
Divisions, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the effective dates of
the, associated Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria

contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures
(TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the
TERPS criteria were applied to the conditions existing or anticipated
at the affected airports. Because of the close and immediate
relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety
in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedures before
adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are impracticable and
contrary to the public interest and, where applicable, that good cause
exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule '' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Information Collection Request

Control of Evaporative Emissions from New and In-Use

Portable Gasoline Containers (Renewal)

EPA ICR 2213.03

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 	PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT

1.	Identification of the Information Collection

(a)	Title and Number of Information Collection.

	"Control of Evaporative Emissions from New and In-Use Portable Gasoline
Containers (Renewal)", ICR 2213.03, OMB 2060-0597.

(b)	Short Characterization.

	(i)	Type of collection.

	Under regulations promulgated on February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428),
manufacturers of new portable gasoline containers are required to obtain
certificates of conformity with the Clean Air Act, effective January
1,2009. This ICR covers the burdens associated with this certification
process.

	(ii)	Content of reports.

	All manufacturers of portable gasoline containers subject to the rule
mentioned in section (i) must submit applications and reports to EPA to
certify them for sale in the United States.  The application information
required is described in section (iii) (1) of this document and is
required preceding sale of new portable gasoline containers. A second
mandatory report is warranty and defect information on these products.
The information required in that report is described in section (iii)
(4).  The warranty and defect report is required annually in July of the
year following the model year for which the portable gasoline container
was certified.

	(iii)	Recordkeeping requirements.

Respondents must organize and maintain the following records:

The respondent must organize and maintain all applications, their
amendments, and any summary information that is to be sent to EPA.  An
application is for an emissions family that describes a single or group
of portable fuel containers that are expected to have similar emission
characteristics.  In general, fuel containers made with similar
materials, processes, emission control strategy, and design are eligible
for grouping into a single emission family.  An emissions family is
limited to a single model year.   The information required in an
application is as follows:

Description of the emission family’s specifications, distinguishable
configuration, detachable parts and their numbers, and other basic
parameters of the emission controls;

Explanation of the emission control technology;

Description of the products selected for testing and the reasons for
selection;

Description of the test equipment and procedures used;

Fuel properties of the test fuel used for tests reported in the
application and how they compare to the test fuel specifications in the
regulation;

Maintenance, use instructions, and warranty information provided with
the product to the ultimate purchaser of each new portable gasoline
container;

Description and example of the emission control information label;

A statement that the emission family's products were tested as described
and meet the requirements of the regulation;

The emission data for the family's products that indicates that it met
the applicable emission standards, except in the cases where the
products only differ in model year from those that were previously
certified;

Test results from invalid tests or tests that were not conducted as
specified in section §59.650 through 59.653 of the rule;

An unconditional certification by the respondent that all the products
in the emissions family comply with the requirements of the rule;

Estimates of U.S.-directed production volumes; and

Name of an agent for service of process located in the United States for
any action by EPA related to the requirements for the rule.

The respondent must keep records for each portable gasoline container
tested (emission data unit) under the requirements of the rule.   Each
emission data unit has records for the following information:

The unit’s construction, including its origin and buildup, steps taken
to ensure that it represents production containers, components built
specially for it, and all the components included in the application for
certification.

All emission tests, including documentation on routine and standard
tests, as specified the rule.  Each test report includes:

Test results;

Purpose of test;

Date and time of the test;

Test cell ambient conditions during the test such as temperature,
barometric pressure, and relative humidity;

Diagnostic data indicating conformance of the test procedure to the
rule;

Significant events that may affect the products' conformance with the
rule;

Production figures for each emission family divided by assembly plant;

Maintenance instructions for the portable fuel containers in the family;
and

A running list of portable gasoline container identification numbers for
all the containers produced under each certificate of conformity.

All the above information must be kept five years after a certificate of
conformity is issued for the emissions family in question.  Data
covering test cell ambient conditions, however, is required to be kept
for one year only after a certificate of conformity is issued for the
emissions family in question.

(3) The stored records can be in any format and on any media, as long as
it can be promptly delivered to EPA on request.

(4) Annual successful warranty claims, including the reason for the
claim and defect report summarizing by emissions family, are to be
provided to the agency.  These reports are due to EPA by July 1 for the
preceding calendar year.

2.	Need for and Use of the Collection

(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection.

	The EPA is required under Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (Act) to
regulate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from the use of
consumer and commercial products.  Pursuant to Section 183(e)(3), the
EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule
for their regulation on March 23, 1995 (60 FR 15264).  Consumer products
were included in Group I of the list, and standards were promulgated on
September 11, 1998.  In the Administrator's judgment, VOC emissions from
the use of consumer products contribute to ground-level ozone formation
in ozone non-attainment areas.

	Statutory authority for the portable gasoline container controls is
found in Sections 183(e) and 111, 42 U.S.C. sections 7511b(e) and 7414.
This authority was granted to regulate VOC emissions from the use of
consumer and commercial products.  Portable gasoline containers are a
consumer product which has been shown to be deficient in preventing VOCs
in the form of gasoline vapors from being emitted into the air.

	The record keeping in an application for an emissions family of
portable gasoline containers is necessary to prove to the agency that
the emissions family meets the emission standard in the regulation. The
items specified in (iii)(1) for the application are specific enough to
provide enough information to allow the agency to issue a certificate of
compliance for the emissions family covered in application.

The information in the application is sufficient to allow the
manufacture to aggregate containers of like design into one emission
family.  This saves the manufacturer the expense of testing models of
similar but not identical design.  The information is also detailed
enough to allow recertification for subsequent new model years where the
only difference containers of the current and future model years is only
the model year itself.  The emissions family collection for similar
containers and the carry over provisions are seen as a reasonable
approach to simplify and lower the cost of gasoline container
certification program for the manufacture.

The warranty and defect reports provided by the manufactures to the
agency are needed to assure that the containers survive normal use and
provides to EPA confidence that they are minimally meeting the emission
standards.  Cans showing excessive warranty claims or high defect rates
could be candidates for in-use testing by EPA.  Though EPA does not have
the authority to recall portable fuel containers the warranty and defect
information along with in-use testing by EPA could be used as grounds to
withhold subsequent certification of containers that are not operating
as required by the regulation.

(b)	Use/Users of the Information.

	Agency enforcement personnel will use the information collected to:

Determine if a manufacture’s portable gasoline containers meet the
emission standard when new;

Allow the agency to issue a certificate of compliance to the
manufacturer so that they can market the approved containers;

Allow the agency to issue certificates in successive model years to
containers that differ only in model year to manufactures and waiving
the testing process required for a new design;

Allow the agency to issue certificates to the manufacture for containers
that are substantially similar to the tested prototype and waive the
testing process required for a new design;

Provide information to the agency to indicate that the portable gasoline
containers are meeting the standard in-use; and

Provide information to the agency that a portable gasoline container
design is not meeting the standard in-use and provides a basis on which
to reject a manufactures application for that design in subsequent model
years.

3.	Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

(a)	Non-duplication.

	The information collected pursuant to the regulation is product and
manufacturing specifications, testing, successful warranty claims, and
defect data concerning portable gasoline containers.  Similar
information will be collected by the state of California for their
Portable Fuel Container regulation.  However, the California regulation
is different in several key areas that make the information unsuitable
for information collection required for Federal rule.  These are all due
to the following differences in the standards and certification
requirements in the two rules.

The test fuel and the temperature cycles used in the Federal program are
more in keeping with nation wide ambient temperatures and fuels while
those required in the California regulation are more suitable to
California fuels and ambient conditions.

The Federal rule requires the reporting of successful warranty claims
and defect reports concerning fuel containers sold as certified under
the rule.  While the California regulation does require that the
manufacturer issue warranties, it does not require them to report on the
outcomes of successful claims against them.

These differences make the California data unsuitable for the Federal
rule on fuel containers.

	Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

An announcement soliciting public comment on this ICR was published in
the Federal Register on _____ (___FR____). A copy of the draft ICR was
placed in the docket. No comments were received.

(c)	Consultations

	EPA has had ongoing discussions with the gasoline container
manufactures concerning the gasoline container rule and its impact on
their business.   The dates and method of contact are listed below.

No-Spill Research		Phone discussions on:   7/21/04

Industry wide			Conference call: 11/17/04

(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

	The requirement of the portable fuel container regulation is that
information is submitted on a yearly basis coinciding with the
manufacturer’s “model year.” The certificate of conformity is
effective until December 31of the model year for which it was issued.
For these reasons, a collection frequency longer than a year is not
possible. However, when a fuel container design is “carried over” or
a new version of a container that is for all intents and purposes
substantially similar to a current container, the amount of new
information required is substantially reduced.  The manufactures can
modify the terms for certification under §59.621 which could
conceivably effect the frequency of data collection.  However, changes
would have to be approved by EPA and can not lead to less effective
emission control.

(e)	General Guidelines.

	This ICR adheres to the guidelines for Federal data requesters, as
provided at 5 CFR 1320.5.  The regulation requires that records
concerning the application for certification be maintained for 5 years
and testing data for 1 year.  Successfully awarded warranty information
and product defect reports are required for the preceding model by July
1st of the following year.  There is no requirement to report
unsuccessful claims against container warranties and after the reporting
of the data to EPA. There is no requirement by EPA for the manufactures
to retain that information. These periods of record retention are
consistent with other ongoing and similar programs.  They are necessary
to allow enough record history for the agency to adequately monitor
compliance.

(f)	Confidentiality.

Any information submitted to EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is
made will be safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et
seq.

	Sensitive Questions.

	This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve
matters of a sensitive nature.

4.	The Respondents and the Information Requested

	(ii)	Respondent Activities.

	The respondent will have to document fuel container specifications in
detail such as physical size, shapes, materials, quality of component
fit, and production methods.  The respondent shall have to keep records
on testing that was performed to assure compliance with the fuel
container regulation.  The respondent must collect and keep warranty and
defect information for annual reporting on in-use survival of their
products in the hands of consumers to EPA.  The respondent must also
retain records on the units produced, apply serial numbers to individual
containers, and track the serial numbers to their certificates of
conformance.  Many of these activities are performed in the production
of any modern consumer product, but clearly some of the information is
uniquely required to the fuel container regulation

5.	The Information Collected--Agency Activities, Collection Methodology,
and Information Management.

(a)	Agency Activities.

	A significant portion of EPA’s activity for the fuel container
regulation will be spent reviewing applications to verify that the
correct tests have been conducted and the necessary information has been
submitted. Running change submissions must also be reviewed for possible
impacts and manufacturers’ evaluations thereof. A part of this process
involves determining if “carry over” of data from a previous model
year or addition of a new container model to an existing emissions
family is appropriate or if new testing will be required. EPA has the
right to select a number of containers for testing to confirm that the
cans are indeed meeting the emissions standards.

(b)	Collection Methodology and Management

	As noted in section 2(b) of this ICR, the information collected is a
necessary part of compliance determination for model year 2009
therefore, the information collected under this rule will not be
collected until calendar year 2008.  A database shall be developed to
store the information at that time.

(c)	Small Entity Flexibility.

	Under the rule, there are provisions for small entity flexibility.  All
respondents can apply for extension of deadlines, including new
container designs under existing emissions families.  They can also
apply for exceptions for particular product use for atypical
applications and sales.  Hardship exceptions are provided when a
manufacture is facing issues of solvency due to circumstances beyond
their control such as a natural disaster, a part supplier not meeting
contractual obligations, or the cost of conformance to the rule.

(d)	Collection Schedule.

	The portable fuel container regulation applies to all fuel containers
manufactured on or after January 1, 2009.  Containers excluded from the
rule are those specified in §59.699.  Information collections are on a
model year basis.  Model years end on December 31 of the model year
certified.

6.	Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

	These estimates represent the average annual burden that will be
incurred by the affected industry during the 3-year period beginning in
2008.  It is believed that most of the record keeping and reporting
costs will shall be done at start up in 2008.

(a)	Estimating Respondent Burden.

	The average annual labor burden estimates for reporting and
recordkeeping requirements for all manufacturers presented in Table 3.

Estimating Respondent Costs.

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

	Table 3 also presents estimated labor costs for the required
recordkeeping and reporting activities.  Industry labor rates are based
on Bureau of Labor Statistics for a manager product inspector and office
and administrative support book keeping clerical.  Overhead of 100
percent was added, resulting in the following labor rates: management
($71.80); technical ($27.10); and clerical ($30.70).

(ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs

EPA estimates there will be ongoing O&M costs associated with the
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the portable gasoline
container rule. These costs will be associated with communication of
information with EPA.  Those costs are found in Table 4.   Respondents
have indicated that they do not plan on building their own facilities to
perform the required testing for the gasoline container regulation.
They shall contract out the work to existing testing laboratories.

(iii) Estimating Start Up Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs

	Start up capitol costs for the respondents are presented in Table 4.
These costs are associated with the development of the appropriate
information technology to store and report the required information.

	Labor rates and associated costs are based on Office of Personnel
Management Table SALARY TABLE 2006-GS.  Overhead of 60 per cent was
added, resulting in the following labor rates: management (GS15 Step 5 -
$79.50); technical (GS13 Step 5 - $57.20); and clerical (GS7 Step 5 -
$27.12).  The number of management hours is assumed to equal 5 percent
of the number of technical hours; the number of clerical hours is
assumed to equal 1 percent of the number of technical hours

	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

The following assumptions were used to estimate the respondent universe
and total burden and costs for industry to comply with the various
requirements of the rule.

There are ten manufactures of fuel containers for the domestic market.

The average number of emission families that will be produced per
manufacture in the first five years of the rule will be one.

The majority of the families will be carried over from successive model
years.

Manufactures will produce designs that will meet the standards.

(e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

	(i)	Respondent Tally

	The bottom line respondent burden hours and cost, presented in Table 3,
are calculated by summing the person-hours column and by summing the
cost column.  The annual burden and cost averaged over the 5 years
beginning in the year 2008 are 638 hours, $ 24,791 in wages, capitol,
and operating and maintenance costs.   The average burden equals the
total burden (638 hours) divided by the number of respondents (10
respondents), or about 63.8 hours per respondent.

	(ii)	Agency Tally

	The bottom line Agency burden and cost are presented in Table 4.
Agency cost for each activity is calculated by summing the technical,
management, and clerical costs for each burden item.  The estimated
annual burden and cost averaged over the 3 years beginning in October
2008 are 455 hours and $27,536.93.

	(iii)	Variations in the annual bottom line.

	The EPA does not anticipate any significant annual variations in the
bottom line after the first year the rule is in effect.

(f)     Reasons for Change in Burden.

	The burden reported in this ICR is attributed to a new regulation.

(g)    Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 63.8 hours respondent.  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 currently valid OMB control number.
The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part
9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

	To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of
the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing
respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques,
EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No.
