Total Penalty: $210,600

ISSUE(S):

This memorandum is to notify you of Region IV’s intention to issue
citations to Rouse Polymerics International, Inc. with a proposed
penalty of $210,600.  The six-month statute of limitations for issuing
these citations expires on November 15, 2002. The Jackson area office
plans to issue the citations after receiving approval from the National
Office.

COMPANY BACKGROUND:

Rouse Polymerics International, Inc. is a non-union company located at
1000 Rubber Way, Vicksburg, Mississippi.  This is a fabricated rubber
products company with a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code of
3069.  There are 98 total employees at this facility.  Rubber
Industries, Inc. (RII) was formed as a Mississippi business corporation
on June 20, 1988.  On November 29, 1988, the corporate name was changed
to Rouse Rubber Industries, Inc. (RRII), and then on May 9, 2002, the
corporate name was changed to Rouse Polymerics International, Inc.
(RPII).  Michael W. Rouse has always been listed as Director and
President for each corporation.  RPII grinds customer supplied rubber
scrap tire shreds, tire peels, or tire buffings to a -80 to -200 mesh
particle size.  The size reduction is accomplished in a four-step
process of shredding, cracking, grinding, and fine grinding. This
vulcanized material is sold packaged in 17, 21, and 50 pound bags or in
approximately 1700 pound totes to major tire and tire peel
manufacturers, asphalt formulators, and other rubber manufacturers.

OSHA INSPECTION HISTORY:

RPII has had no prior inspections; however the Jackson Area Office
inspected RRII on March 19, 1997, as the result of a formal complaint of
four unsafe working conditions.  Serious and other violations were
documented and citations issued for housekeeping and electrical
violations.

REASON FOR INSPECTION:

This inspection was initiated as the result of a fire and explosion that
occurred on May 16, 2002, at approximately 6:00 PM.  Eleven RPII
employees were taken to area hospitals for serious burn injuries.
During the course of the two weeks following the incident, five
employees died as a result of their injuries.

On May 16, 2002, between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM, a fire started on the roof
area atop the bagging bin near the base of the bag house as a result of
hot or smoldering rubber dust which had previously been vented onto the
roof through the #2 dryer system exhaust stack.  Due to the negative
pressure created inside the top of the bagging bin by the bag house
blower/vacuum system, it is concluded that the hot, or smoldering,
embers were sucked into the bin causing the violent dust deflagration.
At approximately 6:02 PM, an explosion occurred in the bagging bin above
the mezzanine in the southwest corner of the production area.  The
explosion caused the bagging bin and the reversible screw conveyor to
rupture, and ignited dust that had accumulated on building surfaces.
They in turn fueled secondary explosions that traveled at subsonic rates
through the plant in search of more fuel.  Surviving victims described
dusty work conditions just prior to the explosion and detailed how the
fire moved quickly into their work areas hampering their escape.

CITATION/PENALTY SUMMARY:

Citations will be issued for 22 serious violations with a penalty of
$84,600, and 2 willful violations with a penalty of $126,000.  In order
to achieve the appropriate deterrent effect, the Area Director
determined that a gravity base penalty of $7,000 [See FIRM, Chapter
IV-11, C.2.g.(3)] for the serious and $70,000 for the willful are
necessary for those violations related to the fatalities.  Per the FIRM,
Chapter IV-7, C.1.c., the Area Director determined that no penalty
reductions will be given for size due to the number of employees who
were fatally injured as a result of the unsafe working conditions.  A
10% reduction was given on all violations for history, as the company
has had no serious violations within the last 3 years.  No penalty
reduction was given for good faith as there are willful violations and
serious violations with high gravity.

The total proposed penalty to be issued to this employer is $210,600.

VIOLATION SUMMARY:

The serious violations include a Section 5(a)(1) for a forklift not
provided with a seatbelt, and a Section 5(a)(1) for exposing employees
to fire and explosion hazards due to overheating of rubber product,
which is directly related to the fatalities; missing guardrails on
platforms; low overhead obstructions, fall arrest equipment not used

For a detailed description of the violation items and associated
penalties, please refer to the attached Violation Summary.

Section 5(a)(1) JUSTIFICATION:

Citation 1, Item 1:

(a)       The employer failed to keep the workplace free of a hazard to
which employees  were exposed:

There was no seat belt on the operator’s seat of the 1979-1980 model
Clark LPG powered industrial truck used by the maintenance personnel at
the facility.  There were seatbelt-mounting lugs on either side of the
operator’s seat.

(b)	The hazard was recognized:

Charles White, Maintenance Supervisor, drove and operated the powered
industrial truck in the maintenance department.  The powered industrial
truck was manufactured in 1979. The forklift was purchased without seat
belts. Burke Handling Systems, Jackson, MS, reviewed their records and
provided documentation that in 1985, Clark began a retro fit program to
install seatbelts on forklifts at the request of the owner of the
forklift.  According to Clark’s records, this lift truck had been
retrofitted with a seat belt.  All other forklifts at the facility were
equipped with seatbelts.

(c)        The hazard was causing or was likely to cause death or
serious physical harm:

Employees have been crushed to death by being pinned under overturned
powered industrial trucks.  The more current version – ASME B56.1-2000
– Safety Standard for Low Lift and High Lift Trucks, recognizes the
possibility of trucks tipping over, and the need for the use of an
operator restraint system in the event that a powered industrial truck
overturns or tips over.

(d)        There was a feasible and useful method to correct the hazard:

Clark manufacturers a seat belt retrofit kit for this model lift truck.
Burke Handling Systems, Inc. has the ability to install a retrofit
package.

Citation 1, Item 2:

The employer failed to keep the workplace free of a hazard to which
employees were exposed:

Employees were exposed to the hazard of fire and explosion where rubber
dust was being overheated during processing and no explosion suppression
system was in place to prevent a dust explosion from occurring inside
the work area.  The use of cyclone separators immediately downstream of
a flash dryer, whose drying medium was air that could easily be heated
to a temperature in excess of the rubber product’s auto-ignition
temperature (770 degrees F.), virtually assured that some rubber
material would be heated to ignition.  The thermocouple used to control
process temperatures in the line #2 dryer circuit was routinely covered
with rubber product.  This would indicate artificially low temperatures
for the process gases exiting the cyclones, particularly after a
re-start of the plant.  These artificially low temperatures would then
contribute to the overheating mechanism associated with the interaction
between the flash dryer and cyclones.

(b)	The hazard was recognized:

The Rouse facility in Vicksburg, MS was incapable of safely processing
material with the particle size distribution, auto-ignition temperature
and the low ignition energy characteristics of the 80-mesh product.  The
experiences of “backfires” in the dryer exhaust duct and fires on
the roof are evidence to management that the system was not operating
properly.  The fact that a combustible dust heated to its ignition
temperature would cause combustion should have been obvious.  It was an
expectation that the operator check the roof during processing to make
sure “no coals or fire or dust” were coming out of the stack.  The
Material Safety Data Sheet for all of RPII’s products address the NFPA
fire hazard ratings and fire and explosion hazard data in Sections I and
IV.

(c)	The hazard was causing or was likely to cause death or serious
physical harm:

As a result of the May 16, 2002 explosion, eleven Rouse Polymerics
employees suffered burns. Five of the eleven died due to burns-induced
pneumonia.  The degree to which they were burned was the result of the
finely ground, air-borne rubber dust having settled on their skin and on
their clothing.  The fatality victims all suffered 2nd & 3rd degree
burns over >50% of their bodies.

(d)	There was a feasible and useful method to correct the hazard:

Two feasible methods of abatement would be to utilize either an
explosion suppression system in accordance with NFPA 69, or deflagration
vents in accordance with NFPA 68.  This equipment, which can eliminate
or reduce the effects of a deflagration represents the “last line of
defense” between a primary explosion confined to a piece of equipment
and one that evolves into a series of disastrous secondary explosions.
It is worth noting that it is often the secondary explosions that
produce the greatest damage in an industrial dust explosion.

Citation 1, Item 5 [Section 5(a)(1) in the alternative]:

The employer failed to keep the workplace free of a hazard to which
employees were exposed:

All maintenance employees including the Maintenance Supervisor, Charles
White, used the Genie self-propelled extensible boom-supported aerial
work platform while performing maintenance and lubrication of equipment
at elevated heights up to approximately 25 feet above floor level.
Other maintenance work included changing motors and performing cutting
and welding operations.  Employees also used the lift while spraying
water during incipient stage fire fighting activities.

(b)	The hazard was recognized:

The maintenance supervisor and employees said they had a harness
available in the tool room but one was not kept on the lift available
for use at all times.  Employees were not required to wear the fall
arrest equipment.  ANSI A92.5-1992, Boom Supported Elevating Work
Platforms, recognizes the need for fall protection when utilizing work
platforms of this type.

(c)	The hazard was causing or was likely to cause death or serious
physical harm:

Falls of approximately 25 feet from the work platform to the concrete
floor would result in death or serious physical harm.

(d)	There was a feasible and useful method to correct the hazard:

Follow ANSI A92.5-1992, Boom Supported Elevating Work Platforms, Section
8.8g. Ensure that employees utilize the fall arrest equipment when
performing work from the Genie self-propelled extensible boom-supported
aerial work platform.

WILLFUL JUSTIFICATION:

(2-1) 29 CFR 1910.22(a)(1)

The employer committed a willful violation of 1910.22(a)(1) by
displaying plain indifference to employee safety by continuing to expose
employees to fire and explosion hazards where finely ground rubber dust
was allowed to accumulate on walls, ledges, and in the rafters of the
facility without properly maintaining the housekeeping of the facility.

Following the fire on May 16, 2002, thick dust accumulations were found
throughout the plant, even in areas not disturbed by fire.  Dust was
found on conduit, on horizontal support beams, on ceiling light
fixtures, on top of motor control panels, inside electrical control
panels and switch boxes, piled up against I-beams at floor level, 1-2
inches deep at roof level on top of bar joists, and under bagging
equipment.

Rouse management is aware of the requirements of the OSHA standard on
housekeeping as the company was issued a citation on April 7, 1997, for
a violation of 1910.22(a)(1) which addressed the hazard of rubber dust
accumulation.  The owner, Mike Rouse, was aware of the April, 1997,
violation and of the hazardous build up of rubber dust that coated the
floor and electrical boxes.

Rouse management is also aware of the hazards of reprocessed ground
rubber as they have knowledge of the material safety data sheet (MSDS),
which states, “(this product will ignite when exposed to heat or
flame.”  “A dust explosion hazard exists with hard rubber in the
powder form.  Extreme precautions should be taken to prevent
accumulations of rubber dust in the air surrounding work
environments.”   In 2001, Rouse changed the flowability additive for
rubber dust from talc to silica-based, which management said was to get
more material through the safety screens, thereby achieving better
production.  However, according to Peter Schmidt, P.E. and consultant,
changing to a silica-based additive also increased the likelihood of a
secondary explosion.  This can be attributed to layers of rubber dust
becoming airborne and forming a dust cloud following a primary
explosion.

Rouse management is aware of several fires that have occurred at this
facility as a result of rubber dust accumulation.  During the period
from 1989 to the present, there were a total of 89 fire/alarm incidents
reported to the local fire department.  Employees reported that they had
been burned multiple times as a result of these fires during their
employment at RPII, and the OSHA 200 log confirmed those injuries.
Management has been made aware of the occurrence of fires through daily
logs that were turned in each day.  Both the owner and the operations
manager each made reference to specific fires that had occurred in 1992,
and on February 13, 2002, respectively, where a major contributory
factor in the spread of both fires was the large accumulation of rubber
dust in the facility, which resulted in extensive property damage. A
maintenance supervisor was made aware of dust accumulation hazards prior
to the May 16, 2002, fire, as he was told by his maintenance employees
that there was going to be a fire if the production operators are not
prevented from blowing down and creating dust clouds, thereby allowing
rubber dust to accumulate on equipment and building structure surfaces.
The maintenance supervisor related this information to his superior
managers.

Rouse management failed to institute controls to help eliminate and/or
reduce the dust accumulation as evidenced through failed attempts to
shutdown the plant in order to clean up the accumulated dust.  The
operations manager was aware that rubber dust could escape from the
enclosed drying system, yet failed to utilize any fixed dust collection
systems such as explosion proof vacuum cleaners to assist with
housekeeping efforts.

(2-2) 29 CFR 1910.307(b)

The employer committed a willful violation by displaying plain
indifference to employee safety by exposing employees to fire and
explosion hazards where electrical equipment was not approved for Class
II, Division 1 hazardous locations was used, where finely ground rubber
dust with a dust cloud minimum ignition energy of five (5) millijoules
was likely to be entrained in the air during normal operation.  Michael
W. Rouse has a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering and is a pioneer in
the production of finely ground crumb rubber.  While answering an
interview question about what caused the 1992 fire in the #7 and #8
special grind area, he said,  “my understanding was it started in the
electrical switchgear and it jumped up and got in the storage bins in
that part of the plant and that is what was destroyed...” Yet after
the 1992, the 1995, and the February 2002 fires, which destroyed
portions of the plant, no electrical upgrades to Class II, Division 1
and 2 were made to the electrical equipment at the facility.  The
company paid for its senior electrician to attend a college electrical
certification where he obtained a copy of the National Electric Code,
which is maintained at the Rouse facility.

RRII wrote a response letter to the Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality, Office of Pollution Control, dated September 21,
1995, following an in-house investigation of a fire that occurred on
Monday, September 18, 1995.  The fire destroyed roll grinders inside the
plant and flames traveled up conveying systems and through the roof.
The RRII letter said “an internal investigation into the cause of the
fire revealed that an electrical function (sic) box developed a loose
connection creating a sparking action.  These sparks ignited the rubber
dust that was being processed.”  The letter goes on to say, “RRII is
also committed to a long-term upgrade of their electrical switchgear,
motor controls center and electrical wiring system which will eliminate
electrical sparking that creates fire potential such as occurred on
September 18, 1995.”

Early into the investigation the OSHA compliance officers observed the
presence of explosion-proof light fixtures in the ceilings, but without
any threaded seals present at the junction boxes to prevent the entry of
airborne combustible dusts or vapors.  Three instances were documented
in the area near the Bagging Bin Mezzanine.  Hazards such as burned
extension cords; NEMA 1 receptacle boxes and non-explosion proof switch
boxes were found throughout the facility.  The investigation also
revealed open holes in electrical control panels and switch boxes as
well as rubber dust buildup in the bottom of these boxes.

Operations Manager Eugene Payne knew that dust entered electrical
control boxes. He was aware that it was necessary for electricians to
vacuum the dust from those boxes.  Walter Doss, Sr. confirmed that he
would have his assistant vacuum the boxes when time permitted, rather
than install the proper seals or upgrade to Class II equipment.  Mr.
Doss also confirmed that much of the electrical equipment was old and
had not been replaced or upgraded since the buildings were purchased by
RPII.

Sulfoxaflor: EPA Response to comments; Receipt of Application-Idaho State Department of Agriculture Emergency Exemption, (Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2016-0188)
In accordance with 40 CFR 166.24(a)(8), a notice of receipt was published in the Federal Register soliciting public comments on the Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) request for emergency exemption for the use of sulfoxaflor on alfalfa grown for seed to control lygus bugs. During the public comment period, the docket received 8 comments, which closed on May 24, 2016.
The majority of the comments received were in favor of the EPA granting the emergency exemption. These comments were all from individual growers and consultants. The comments on the benefits of sulfoxaflor included resistance management, reduced lygus bug populations, significant alfalfa yield increases and minimal impact on beneficial insects and pollinators.
On the contrary, the docket received a limited number of comments that were in opposition of the EPA granting the emergency exemption requests for the use of sulfoxaflor on alfalfa grown for seed to control lygus bugs. These comments were from environmental groups such as the Center for food Safety (0008), the Center for Biological Diversity (0009), and the Pollinator Stewardship Council (0010). The general opposing themes of the sulfoxaflor emergency exemptions on alfalfa grown for seed included the following: (1) Section 18 emergency exemption criteria inconsistency, (2) likely adverse effects on endangered species and (3) high toxicity to pollinators in the environment.
 Section 18 Emergency Exemption Criteria
Section 18 of FIFRA gives EPA the authority to exempt State and Federal Agencies from any provisions of the Act if the emergency condition exists, which require such exemptions if the benefit outweighs the potential ecological risks. EPA completed human health and ecological risk assessments for the emergency use of sulfoxaflor to lygus bugs on alfalfa grown for seed. EPA concluded the use of sulfoxaflor under the exemption will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. Further, the ISDA emergency exemption request underwent extensive biological and economic analysis review. A favorable finding by the EPA was not supported because the criteria for an urgent and non-routine emergency situation was not substantiated.
 Consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services on Endangered Species
Under the Section 18 of FIFRA, the specific exemption submitted by the ISDA was reviewed by the procedures outline in 40 CFR part 166 to allow an emergency use of a pesticide to address urgent and non-routine emergency conditions. In this case, the Section 18 application submitted by ISDA did not address an emergency pest pressure from lygus bugs. As a matter of policy and consistent agreements between EPA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, full exposure and risk evaluations for endangered and threatened species from pesticide exposure will generally be conducted in the contexts of EPA's Registration Review Program and not under the Section 18 program due to the limited time allotted to make Section 18 decisions.

 Safety and Exposure to Pollinators
In the USDA document, "Attractiveness of Agricultural Crops to Pollinating Bees for the Collection of Nectar and/or Pollen," alfalfa grown for seed is listed as a crop that uses managed bees for pollination. The document indicates that honey bees are attracted under certain conditions to alfalfa pollen. The Section 18 application indicates that the alfalfa leafcutter bee is used for commercial pollination of alfalfa grown for seed. The proposed restriction of sulfoxaflor spray application at night is expected to result in a low likelihood of bees coming into direct contact with pesticide spray droplets since bees do not forage at night. Some individual bees may reside overnight in or on flowers, but this is not likely to be a dominate route of exposure for the vast majority of bees. Based on ISDA's proposed label restriction, the potential exposure via direct interception of spray droplets is considered low. The Agency would have required restrictions and advisory language on the authorization letters and state's use such as spray coverage and drift to 10 mph, applications made before 7:00 am and or after 7:00 pm local time to minimize residues on alfalfa, identifying known beekeepers within 1 mile of the treatment area 48 hours before the product is applied, to limit exposure to honey bees and native pollinators.

    Title: Notification of Chemical Exports--TSCA Section 12(b)
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0795.14, OMB Control No. 2070-0030.
    ICR Status: EPA is requesting the renewal of the currently approved
ICR, which is currently approved through March 31, 2013. The ICR, which
is abstracted below, describes the nature of the information collection
and its estimated burden and cost. 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, are 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: Section 12(b)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) requires that any person who exports or intends to export to a
foreign country a chemical substance or mixture that is regulated under
TSCA sections 4, 5, 6 and/or 7 submit to EPA notification of such
export or intent to export. Upon receipt of notification, EPA will
advise the government of the importing country of the U.S. regulatory
action with respect to that substance. EPA uses the information
obtained from the submitter via this collection to advise the
government of the importing country. This information collection
addresses the burden associated with industry reporting of export
notifications. The respondent may claim all or part of a notice
confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim
of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance
with, the procedures in TSCA and 40 CFR Part 2.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 1.1 hours
per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The ICR provides a
detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized
here:
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are

companies that export chemical substances.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 240 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated annual burden: 4,025 hours per year.
    Total estimated annual cost: $245,246 per year, includes $0
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 825 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease represents the net effect of a decrease
in the estimated number of notices sent to EPA and a decrease in the
number of firms sending notices, which is based on EPA's recent
experience with TSCA section 12(b) notices. This change is an
adjustment. The Supporting Statement provides additional detail
concerning the change in burden estimate.

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain

Rolls-Royce Deutschland (RRD) Models Tay 611-8 and Tay 611-8C turbofan
engines. This AD requires replacement of the high-pressure (HP) turbine
spanner retaining nut. This AD was prompted by the discovery that
certain HP turbine spanner retaining nuts were improperly heat treated
after application of silver plating. We are issuing this AD to prevent
failure of the HP turbine stage 2 disc, uncontained engine failure, and
damage to the airplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Emergency Airworthiness Directive 2012-0039-E, dated March 9, 2012, and
EASA AD 2012-0039R1, dated March 14, 2012 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    A recent quality investigation by Rolls-Royce Deutschland has
identified that certain stage 2 high-pressure turbine (HPT) disc
spanner retaining nuts did not receive the proper heat treatment
after application of silver plating. This condition, if not
corrected, could result in a stage 2 HPT disc failure, possibly
leading to release of high energy debris, resulting in damage to the
aeroplane and/or injury to occupants.

We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the HP turbine stage 2
disc, uncontained engine failure, and damage to the airplane.
    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    RRD has issued Alert Service Bulletin No. TAY-72-A1769, dated March
9, 2012. The actions described in this service information are intended
to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by EASA and is approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement
with EASA, they have notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI and service information referenced above. We are issuing this
AD because we evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined
the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design. This AD requires replacement of the
HP turbine spanner retaining nut on certain serial number engines,
within 20 flight cycles after the effective date of the AD or within
200 flight cycles since the last engine shop visit, whichever occurs
first.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of
the short compliance time required to remove the unsafe condition.
Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment
before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for
making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2012-0288; Directorate
Identifier 2012-NE-10-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this 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
with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the
Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any of our dockets,
including, if provided, the name of the individual who sent the comment
(or signed the comment on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement
in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78).

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.

approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Section 126(f) of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) requires EPA to set worker
protection standards for State and local employees engaged in hazardous
waste operations and emergency response in the 27 States that do not
have Occupational Safety and Health Administration approved State
plans. The EPA coverage, as cited in 40 CFR 311, required to be
identical to the OSHA standards, extends to three categories of
employees: Those engaged in clean-ups at uncontrolled hazardous waste
sites, including corrective actions at Treatment, Storage and Disposal
(TSD) facilities regulated under the Resource Conservation and recovery
Act (RCRA); employees working on routine hazardous waste operations at
RCRA TSD facilities; and employees involved in emergency response
operations without regard to location. This ICR renews existing
mandatory record keeping collection of ongoing activities including
monitoring of any potential employee exposure at uncontrolled hazardous
waste sites, maintaining

records of employee training, refresher training, medical exams and
reviewing emergency response plans.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those State and local employees engaged in hazardous
waste operations and emergency response in the 27 States that do not
have Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) approved State
plans.
    Respondent's Obligation To Respond: 40 CFR part 311 has no
reporting requirements. There are record keeping requirements by
inference in Section (e) and by statue in Section (f)[8] of OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.120.
    Estimated Total Number of Respondents: 24,000.
    Frequency of Response: Annually recordkeeping. No response required
to Agency.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 255,427 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $3,528,888, which is entirely for
labor. There are no capital investment or maintenance and operational
costs.
    Changes in Estimates: These burden estimates reflect what is
currently approved by OMB, without change. EPA will provide revised
burden estimates when the second comment period for this ICR is opened.
However, as the universe and regulations have not changed, EPA does not
anticipate any substantive changes to the burden figures.

    Dated: September 24, 2015.
