ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OPPT-2014-0486; FRL-9915-17]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Renewal and
Consolidation of Several Currently Approved Collections; Comment
Request

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this
document announces that EPA is planning to submit a request to renew
and consolidate three currently approved Information Collection
Requests (ICRs) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The
consolidated ICR is entitled: ``Lead Training, Certification,
Accreditation and Authorization Activities'' and identified by (EPA ICR
No. 2507.01 and OMB Control No. 2070-(NEW)). This new ICR consolidates
the following three ICRs, whose existing approval EPA is seeking to
renew in order to allow for the consolidated ICR to complete the PRA
process: ``Lead-Based Paint Pre-Renovation Information Dissemination--
TSCA Sec. 406(b)'' (EPA ICR No. 1669.06, OMB Control No. 2070-0158;
scheduled to expire on April 30, 2015); ``TSCA Section 402 and Section
404 Training and Certification, Accreditation and Standards for Lead-
Based Paint Activities and Renovation, Repair, and Painting'' (EPA ICR
No. 1715.13, OMB Control No. 2070-0155; scheduled to expire on December
31, 2015); and ``Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for
the Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program'' (EPA ICR No. 2381.02,
OMB Control No. 2070-0181; scheduled to expire on April 30, 2015).
Before submitting these ICRs to OMB for review and approval under the
PRA, EPA is required to solicit comments on specific aspects of the
information collections. Please note that the three ICR renewals are
exactly the same as the ICRs that are currently approved. The Agency
has not made any changes to these renewal ICRs because the covered
activities are being consolidated, along with the estimated burdens,
into the consolidated ICR.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 27, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)),
EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES.
    6. Identify the docket ID number assigned to the ICR in the subject
line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the ICR
title and related EPA and OMB numbers.

III. What do I need to know about PRA?

    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information subject to PRA approval
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB
control numbers for the EPA regulations in title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing in the preamble of the final
rule, are further displayed either by publication in the Federal
Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related
collection instruments or

form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in a list at 40 CFR 9.1.
    As used in the PRA context, burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

IV. What ICRs does this request apply to?

A. New Consolidated ICR

    Title: Lead Training, Certification, Accreditation and
Authorization Activities.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2507.01; OMB Control No. 2070-(NEW).
    ICR status: This is a new ICR that reflects the consolidation of
the three ICRs identified in unit IV.B.
    Abstract: This information collection involves third-party
notification, required under section 406(b) of the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA), to owners and occupants of housing that will inform
such individuals about the dangers of lead-contaminated dust and lead-
based paint debris that are sometimes generated during renovations of
housing where lead-based paint is present, thereby aiding them in
avoiding potentially hazardous exposures and protecting public health.
Since young children are especially susceptible to the hazards of lead,
owners and occupants with children can take action to protect their
children from lead poisonings. Section 406(b) of TSCA requires EPA to
promulgate regulations requiring certain persons who perform
renovations for compensation on target housing to provide a lead hazard
information pamphlet (developed under TSCA section 406(a)) to the owner
and occupants of such housing prior to beginning the renovation.
Further, the firm performing the renovation must keep records
acknowledging receipt of the pamphlet on file for 3 years after
completion of work. Those who fail to provide the pamphlet or keep
records as required may be subject to both civil and criminal
sanctions.
    This information collection also addresses the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements for individuals or firms conducting lead-
based paint activities or renovation in or on houses, apartments, or
child-occupied facilities built before 1978, under the authority of
sections 402 and 404 of TSCA. These sections and their implementing
regulations require EPA to develop and administer a training and
certification program as well as work practice standards for persons
who perform lead-based paint activities and/or renovations. 40 CFR part
745, subpart E, covers work practice standards, recordkeeping and
reporting requirements, individual and firm certification, and
enforcement for renovations done in target housing or child-occupied
facilities. 40 CFR part 745, subpart L, covers inspections, lead hazard
screens, risk assessments, and abatement activities (referred to as
``lead-based paint activities'') done in target housing and child-
occupied facilities. 40 CFR part 745, subpart Q, establishes the
requirements that state or tribal programs must meet for authorization
to administer the standards, regulations, or other requirements
established under TSCA section 402. Section 401 of TSCA defines target
housing as any housing constructed before 1978 except housing for the
elderly or disabled or 0-bedroom dwellings.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR part 745). Respondents may claim all or part of a document
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 section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. The
consolidated ICR, a copy of which is available in the docket, provides
a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly
summarized here.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between
0.2 hours per response and 10.2 hours per response, depending upon the
nature of the respondent.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR include persons who are engaged in lead-based paint activities
and/or perform renovations of target housing or child-occupied
facilities for compensation, dust sampling, or dust testing; or who
perform lead-based paint inspections, lead hazard screens, risk
assessments or abatements in target housing or child-occupied
facilities; or who provide training or operate a training program for
individuals who perform any of these activities; or state, territorial
or Native American agencies that administer lead-based paint activities
and/or renovation programs.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 588,357.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
46.3.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 5,585,213 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $277,147,047. This includes an
estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and
operational costs.

B. Renewal of Existing ICRs

    EPA intends to seek the renewal of the existing approvals for the
following three ICRs in order to provide sufficient time to allow for
the consolidated ICR to complete the PRA process. The three ICR
renewals are exactly the same as the ICRs that are currently approved.
The Agency has not made any changes to these renewal ICRs because the
covered activities and related burdens are being consolidated into the
new ICR described in Unit IV.A.
    1. Renewal under OMB Control No. 2070-0158.
    Title: Lead-Based Paint Pre-Renovation Information Dissemination--
TSCA Sec. 406(b).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1669.07; OMB Control No. 2070-0158.
    ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2015.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this renewal submission is pending
at OMB.
    Abstract: This ICR involves third-party notification to owners and
occupants of housing that will inform such individuals about the
dangers of lead-contaminated dust and lead-based paint debris that are
sometimes generated during renovations of housing where lead-based
paint is present, thereby aiding them in avoiding potentially hazardous
exposures and protecting public health. Since young children are
especially susceptible to the hazards of lead, owners and occupants
with children can take action to protect their children from lead
poisonings. Section 406(b) of TSCA requires EPA to promulgate
regulations requiring certain persons who perform renovations for
compensation on target housing to provide a lead hazard information
pamphlet (developed under TSCA section 406(a)) to the owner and
occupants of such housing prior to beginning the renovation. Further,
the firm performing the renovation must keep records acknowledging
receipt of the pamphlet on file for 3 years after completion of work.
Those who fail to provide the pamphlet or keep records as required may
be subject to both civil and criminal sanctions.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR 745, subpart E). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice as
CBI. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only
to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in
40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is

estimated to average about 0.23 hours per response. The ICR, a copy of
which is available in the docket, provides a detailed explanation of
this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are certain persons performing renovations of target
housing, constructed prior to 1978, for compensation.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 320,504.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
35.4.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 2,577,280 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $140,498,539. This includes an
estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
    2. Renewal under OMB Control No. 2070-0155.
    Title: TSCA Section 402 and Section 404 Training and Certification,
Accreditation and Standards for Lead-Based Paint Activities and
Renovation, Repair, and Painting.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1715.14; OMB Control No. 2070-0155.
    ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2015.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this renewal submission is pending
at OMB.
    Abstract: This ICR covers the reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for individuals or firms conducting lead-based paint
activities or renovation in or on houses, apartments, or child-occupied
facilities built before 1978, under the authority of TSCA sections 402
and 404 (15 U.S.C. 2682, 2684).
    Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA require EPA to develop and
administer a training and certification program as well as work
practice standards for persons who perform lead-based paint activities
and/or renovations. The current regulations in 40 CFR part 745, subpart
E, cover work practice standards, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements, individual and firm certification, and enforcement for
renovations done in target housing or child-occupied facilities. The
current regulations in 40 CFR part 745, subpart L, cover inspections,
lead hazard screens, risk assessments, and abatement activities
(referred to as ``lead-based paint activities'') done in target housing
and child-occupied facilities. The current regulations in 40 CFR part
745, subpart Q, establish the requirements that state or tribal
programs must meet for authorization to administer the standards,
regulations, or other requirements established under TSCA section 402.
(see 40 CFR part 745, subparts E, L and Q.) Section 401 of TSCA defines
target housing as any housing constructed before 1978 except housing
for the elderly or disabled or 0-bedroom dwellings.
    Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA require reporting and/or
recordkeeping from four entities: Firms engaged in lead-based paint
activities or renovations in target housing and child-occupied
facilities; individuals who perform lead-based paint activities in
target housing and child-occupied facilities; training providers; and
states/territories/tribes/Alaskan native villages. This information
collection applies to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements
outlined above.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR part 745, subparts E, L and Q). Respondents may claim all or part
of a notice as CBI. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a
CBI claim only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the
procedures in 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.8
hours for individuals, 9.9 hours for firms, and 5.8 hours for
governments per response. The ICR, a copy of which is available in the
docket, provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only
briefly summarized here.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR are persons who provide training in lead-based paint
activities and/or renovation, persons who are engaged in lead-based
paint activities and/or renovation, and state agencies that administer
lead-based paint activities and/or renovation programs.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 367,815.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
Varies.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,312,524 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $151,077,143. This includes an
estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
    3. Renewal under OMB Control No. 2070-0181.
    Title: Lead; Clearance and Clearance Testing Requirements for the
Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2381.03; OMB Control No. 2070-0181.
    ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2015.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this renewal submission is pending
at OMB.
    Abstract: This ICR covers revisions to the 2008 Renovation, Repair,
and Painting (RRP) rule which established reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for individuals and firms conducting renovations in target
housing, which is most housing constructed before 1978, and child-
occupied facilities, which are pre-1978 residential, public, or
commercial buildings where children under 6 are regularly present. EPA
is revising the RRP rule under the authority of TSCA sections 402, 404
and 407.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.9
hours for training providers. The ICR, a copy of which is available in
the docket, provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this ICR include training programs providing training services in lead-
based paint activities and renovations.
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 170.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
89.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 151 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $27. This includes an estimated cost
of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

V. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approvals?

    The Agency has not made any changes to the three ICRs that are
currently approved and whose renewal is being sought because changes to
the information collection activities and burdens and adjusted
estimates are in the consolidated ICR. Once consolidated, the new ICR
is expected to reflect an overall decrease of 677,579 hours in the
total estimated combined respondent burden that is currently approved
by OMB. This decrease reflects changes in EPA's estimates of the burden
including: Revisions to the estimated number of respondents based on
the number of respondents reporting to EPA for the prior information
collection; the fact the housing market and related industries
including

housing rentals, property management and building renovation have yet
to recover from the drop in the housing market; and the use of actual
certification data instead of broader assumptions about industry
behavior. Further details about these changes are included in the
supporting statement for the new consolidated ICR. This change is an
adjustment.

VI. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the consolidated
ICR as appropriate. The final ICR packages will then be submitted to
OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue
another Federal Register document pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity for the
public to submit additional comments for OMB consideration.
    If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process,
please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

I. Background

    The EPA has established health-based standards for PM10.
On July 1, 1987, the EPA promulgated two standards for PM10:
A 24-hour standard of 150 micrograms per cubic meter ([micro]g/m\3\)
and an annual PM10 standard of 50 [micro]g/m\3\.\1\
Effective December 18, 2006, the EPA revoked the annual PM10
standard but retained the 24-hour PM10 standard.\2\ In this
document, references to the PM10 NAAQS or PM10
standard refer to the 24-hour average standard of 150 [micro]g/m\3\,
unless otherwise noted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 52 FR 24634 (July 1, 1987).
    \2\ 71 FR 61144 (October 17, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under section 107(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act''), the EPA
is required to designate areas of the country, based on ambient air
quality data, as attainment, unclassifiable, or nonattainment for each
NAAQS. Under the CAA Amendments of 1990, the Bullhead City area was
designated as part of a large ``unclassifiable'' area in Arizona for
the PM10 NAAQS.\3\ In 1993, in light of PM10
NAAQS violations monitored in 1989 and 1990, the EPA redesignated the
Bullhead City area as a ``Moderate'' nonattainment area for the
PM10 standard.\4\ To meet the SIP planning requirements for
such areas, state and local agencies adopted and implemented a number
of control measures to reduce PM10 emissions and lower
ambient PM10 concentrations in the Bullhead City area,
including paving of certain unpaved roads. In 2002, the EPA determined
that the Bullhead City area had attained the PM10 NAAQS by
the applicable attainment date of December 31, 2000.\5\ The 24-hour
standard is attained when the expected number of days with levels above
150 [micro]g/m\3\ (averaged over a 3-year period) is less than or equal
to one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ For the definition of the Bullhead City maintenance area,
see 40 CFR 81.303. The Bullhead City maintenance area is located in
western Arizona. The original nonattainment area was defined by the
equivalent of approximately six townships covering more than 200
square miles: T21N, R20-21W, excluding Lake Mead National Recreation
area; T20N, R20-22W; and T19N, R21-22W, excluding the Fort Mohave
Indian Reservation. On June 26, 2002, the EPA approved the State's
request that some areas of undisturbed desert terrain containing no
industrial or commercial activity be excluded from the Bullhead City
PM10 planning area (67 FR 43020, 43022). As a result of
the boundary change, the townships comprising the maintenance area
include: T21N, R21W, excluding Lake Mead National Recreation Area;
T20N, R21-22W; and T19N, R22W, excluding the Fort Mohave Indian
Reservation.
    \4\ 58 FR 67334 (December 21, 1993).
    \5\ 67 FR 7082 (February 15, 2002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under CAA section 175A, one of the criteria for an area to be
redesignated from nonattainment to attainment is the approval of a
maintenance plan. The maintenance plan must, among other requirements,
ensure control measures are in place such that the area will continue
to maintain the standard for the period extending 10 years after
redesignation and include contingency provisions to assure that
violations of the NAAQS will be promptly remedied.
    In 2002, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
submitted a maintenance plan, titled ``Bullhead City Moderate Area
PM10 Maintenance Plan and Request for Redesignation to
Attainment'' (February 2002) (``First 10-Year LMP'') to the EPA as a
revision to the Arizona SIP, and requested that the EPA redesignate the
Bullhead City area to attainment.\6\ The First 10-Year LMP provided for
maintenance of the PM10 NAAQS in the Bullhead City area for
10 years after redesignation. On June 26, 2002, the EPA approved the
First 10-Year LMP for the Bullhead City area as providing for
maintenance through 2012.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ ADEQ, Bullhead City Moderate Area PM10
Maintenance Plan and Request for Redesignation to Attainment,
February 2002.
    \7\ 67 FR 43020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CAA section 175A(b) requires states to submit an additional SIP
revision to maintain the NAAQS for 10 years after the expiration of the
10-year period covered by the initial maintenance plan approved in
connection with the redesignation of the area from nonattainment to
attainment. On May 24, 2012, ADEQ submitted a second 10-year
maintenance plan, titled ``Limited Maintenance Plan Update for the
Bullhead City PM10 Maintenance Area'' (May 2012) (``Second
10-Year LMP''), to meet the requirement for the subsequent maintenance
plan under CAA section 175A(b). The Second 10-Year LMP is intended to
provide for continued maintenance of the PM10 NAAQS for the
10-year period following the end of the first 10-year period, i.e.,
through June 2022.
    Consistent with the requirements at the time, the First 10-year LMP
provided for maintenance of both the 24-hour average and annual average
PM10 NAAQS. However, because the EPA has revoked the annual
average PM10 NAAQS, the Second 10-Year LMP addresses only
maintenance of the 24-hour PM10 NAAQS.
    On December 9, 2021, the EPA proposed to approve as a revision to
the Arizona SIP the Second 10-Year LMP submitted by ADEQ on May 24,
2012, for the Bullhead City area.\8\ The EPA proposed to approve this
plan based on the conclusion that it adequately provides for continued
maintenance of the PM10 NAAQS in the Bullhead City area
through 2022 and thereby meets the requirements for subsequent
maintenance plans under section 175A of the Act. Our proposed action
contains more information on the plan and our evaluation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 86 FR 70071.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Public Comments

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received two comments. Both comments were
supportive of our proposed action and do not require a response. The
comments are available for viewing in the docket for this rulemaking.

III. Final Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the Second
10-Year LMP as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as
authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is taking final
action to approve as a revision to the Arizona SIP the Second 10-Year
LMP for the Bullhead City area for the PM10 NAAQS. The EPA
is approving this plan based on the conclusion that it adequately
provides for continued maintenance of the PM10 NAAQS in the
Bullhead City area through 2022 and thereby meets the

requirements for subsequent maintenance plans under section 175A of the
Act. The effect of this action is to make the State's continuing
commitments federally enforceable for the second 10-year maintenance
period with respect to maintenance of the PM10 NAAQS in the
Bullhead City area. These commitments include continued monitoring;
continued implementation of control measures that were responsible for
bringing the area into attainment; preparation and submittal of annual
reports; consideration and implementation of contingency measures, as
necessary; and submittal of a full maintenance plan if contingency
measures fail to provide the required remedy.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 13, 2022. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-86178; File No. SR-FINRA-2019-014]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Allow
Additional Time for Reporting to TRACE of Transactions in U.S. Treasury
Securities Executed To Hedge a Primary Market Transaction

June 21, 2019.

I. Introduction

    On April 16, 2019, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend FINRA Rule 6730 to provide additional
time for reporting to TRACE of transactions in U.S. Treasury Securities
executed to hedge a primary market transaction. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on April 30,
2019.\3\ On June 13, 2019, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\
the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the
proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed
rule change.\5\ The Commission received one comment letter in support
of the proposed rule change.\6\ This order approves the proposed rule
change.

change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove the
proposed rule change).
    \6\ See Letter from Robert Toomey, Managing Director and
Associate General Counsel, SIFMA, to Robert W. Errett, Deputy
Security, Commission, dated May 21, 2019 (``SIFMA Letter'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposal

    Currently, a transaction in a U.S. Treasury Security executed on a
business day up to 5:00 p.m. E.T. must be reported on the same day
during TRACE System Hours.\7\ For a transaction in a U.S. Treasury
Security executed on a business day after 5:00 p.m. E.T., a member must
report the trade no later than the next business day (T+1) during TRACE
System Hours, and, if reported on T+1, the member must designate the
trade ``as/of'' and include the date of execution.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See FINRA Rule 6730(a)(4)(A)(i). FINRA Rule 6710(t) defines
``TRACE System Hours'' to mean ``the hours the TRACE system is open,
which are 8:00:00 a.m. Eastern Time through 6:29:59 p.m. Eastern
Time on a business day, unless otherwise announced by FINRA.''
    \8\ See FINRA Rule 6730(a)(4)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to FINRA, institutional investors often hedge a primary
market transaction that meets the definition of ``List or Fixed
Offering Price Transaction'' or ``Takedown Transaction'' (i.e., a
``P1'' transaction) with a U.S. Treasury Security.\9\ In such cases,
hedges in U.S. Treasury Securities and the P1 transactions are executed
in close time proximity because the desired hedge position in the U.S.
Treasury Security cannot be determined until the underwriters complete
pricing of P1 issue and make allocations to customers.\10\ Once pricing
is complete for the new issue, any associated hedging trades in U.S.
Treasury Securities must be entered and reported to TRACE.\11\ Under
current FINRA Rule 6730, a trade report for a transaction in a U.S.
Treasury Security executed by 5:00 p.m. ET is due on trade date (by the
close of TRACE System Hours), whereas a P1 trade report is due on T+1
(by the close of TRACE System Hours).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ FINRA Rule 6710(q) and (r) define ``List or Fixed Offering
Price Transactions'' and ``Takedown Transactions,'' which are
identified with the ``P1'' modifier, generally as primary market
sale transactions on the first day of trading of a security: (i) By
a sole underwriter, syndicate manager, syndicate member or selling
group member at the published or stated list or fixed offering price
(or, for Takedown Transactions, at a discount from the published or
stated list or fixed offering price) or (ii) in the case of primary
market sale transactions effected pursuant to Securities Act Rule
144A, by an initial purchaser, syndicate manager, syndicate member
or selling group member at the published or stated fixed offering
price (or, for Takedown Transactions, at a discount from the
published or stated fixed offering price).
    \10\ See Notice, 84 FR at 18330.
    \11\ See id.
    \12\ See FINRA Rule 6730(a)(2) and (4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA understands that this difference in TRACE reporting
timeframes for the hedging transactions in U.S. Treasury Securities and
the related P1 transaction can present operational challenges for
members, particularly where pricing of the debt new issue occurs prior
to, but near, 5:00 p.m. E.T.\13\ In response to these concerns, FINRA
has proposed to align the TRACE reporting timeframe for any hedging
transactions in U.S. Treasury Securities associated with a P1
transaction with the deadline for reporting the related P1 transaction.
Specifically, FINRA has proposed to amend FINRA Rule 6730 to provide
that a transaction in a U.S. Treasury Security executed to hedge a P1
transaction must be reported no later than the next business day (T+1)
during TRACE System Hours and, if reported on T+1, designated ``as/of''
and include the date of execution.\14\ FINRA also proposed that a
member must append a new trade modifier when reporting to TRACE any
transaction in a U.S. Treasury Security that is executed to hedge a P1
transaction.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Notice, 84 FR at 18330.
    \14\ See proposed FINRA Rule 6730(a)(4)(B).
    \15\ See proposed FINRA Rule 6730(d)(4)(G)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA has stated that it will announce the effective date of the
rule change in a Regulatory Notice to be published no later than 90
days following a Commission approval, and the effective date will be no
later than 270 days following publication of that Regulatory
Notice.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Notice, 84 FR at 18330.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful consideration, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the
rules

and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
association.\17\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\18\ which
requires, among other things, that FINRA rules be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors
and the public interest. The Commission believes that aligning the
reporting deadline for U.S. Treasury Security hedge transactions with
the deadline for the associated P1 transaction is reasonably designed
to minimize compliance burdens on FINRA members who report to TRACE
without adversely impacting regulatory surveillance. In addition,
because P1 transactions and transactions in U.S. Treasury Securities
are not subject to public dissemination, the rule change would not
negatively impact market transparency. The new requirement to flag any
transaction in a U.S. Treasury Security used to hedge a P1 transaction
is reasonably designed to enhance the TRACE audit trail, consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The
Commission notes that the one comment letter received on the proposal
was supportive.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
    \19\ See SIFMA Letter, supra note 6 (opining that the proposal
would ``ease the operational burden on member firms, provide a
better characterization of the transaction for market surveillance
purposes through the linkage that will be reported, and result in
fewer late Treasury transaction filings to the TRACE system'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(5) of the Act,\20\ the Commission
consulted with and considered the views of the Treasury Department in
determining to approve the proposed rule change. The Treasury
Department indicated its support for the proposal.\21\ Pursuant to
Section 19(b)(6) of the Act,\22\ the Commission has considered the
sufficiency and appropriateness of existing laws and rules applicable
to government securities brokers, government securities dealers, and
their associated persons in approving the proposal. As discussed above,
by aligning the TRACE reporting timeframe for transactions in U.S.
Treasury Securities executed to hedge a P1 transaction with the
deadline for reporting the related P1 transaction, and adopting a new
modifier to identify such transactions, the proposed rule change is
reasonably designed to minimize burdens on FINRA members who must
report to TRACE without adversely impacting regulatory surveillance or
market transparency.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2016-0261R1, dated February 13,
2020, to correct an unsafe condition for Leonardo Model A109LUH, A109E,
A109S, and AW109SP helicopters. EASA advises that a fractured bypass
outlet assembly (assembly), which is a component of fire extinguishing
bottle part number (P/N) 27300-1, was found during maintenance on a
Model AW109SP helicopter. EASA states that this condition, if not
detected and corrected, could affect the capability of the fire
extinguishing system to extinguish a fire in the engine area, resulting
in damage to the helicopter and injury to any occupants. To address
this unsafe condition, the EASA AD requires repetitive inspections of
the assembly, and if there is a crack, replacing the fire extinguisher
bottle. Due to similarity of design, EASA advises other helicopter
models may be subject to the same unsafe condition.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that an
unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of
the same type designs.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Leonardo Helicopters Bollettino Tecnico (BT) No.
109EP-152 for Model A109E helicopters, BT No. 109SP-108 for Model
AW109SP helicopters, and BT No. 109S-073 for Model A109S helicopters,
all dated December 15, 2016. The FAA also reviewed Leonardo Helicopters
Alert Service Bulletin No. 109S-073, Revision A, dated November 23,
2019, for Model A109S helicopters. This service information contains
procedures for inspecting the assembly for a crack and replacing the
fire extinguishing bottle if there is a crack.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require, within 25 hours time-in-service
(TIS) and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 200 hours TIS,
inspecting the weld beads of each fire extinguisher bottle P/N 27300-1
assembly for a crack. If there is a crack, the proposed AD would
require replacing the fire extinguisher bottle before further flight.
This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of a fire
extinguisher bottle P/N 27300-1 on any helicopter unless it has met the
requirements of this AD.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD applies to Model A109LUH helicopters; this proposed AD
does not as that model helicopter is not type certificated in the U.S.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this proposed AD to be an interim action. If
final action is later identified, the FAA might consider further
rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD would affect 107
helicopters of U.S. Registry. The FAA estimates that operators may
incur the following costs in order to comply with this proposed AD.
Labor costs are estimated at $85 per work-hour.
    Inspecting both assemblies would require about 2 work-hours, for a
estimated cost of $170 per helicopter and $18,190 for the U.S fleet,
per inspection cycle.
    Replacing a fire extinguishing bottle would require about 3 work-
hours and parts would cost about $6,432, for an estimated cost of
$6,687 per helicopter.
    According to Leonardo's service information, some of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty
coverage by Leonardo. Accordingly, the FAA has included all costs in
this cost estimate.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA 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, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 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.

    Title: NESHAP for Benzene Emissions from Benzene Storage Vessels
and Coke By-Product Recovery Plants (Renewal)
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1080.13, OMB Control Number 2060-0185.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2011.
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 affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and to the provisions
at 40 CFR part 61, subpart L. Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit a one-time-only report of any physical or
operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports
and results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records
of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction
in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which
the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are
required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 92
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or

for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and requirements 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: Owners or operators of benzene
storage vessels and coke by product recovery plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 17.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannually and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,137.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $294,347 in labor costs; there are
neither capital/startup costs nor operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours, or
capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs 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 industry is very low, negative, or non-existent.
    It should be noted that the wage rates in this ICR have been
updated resulting in an overall increase in the labor cost.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2019-0055]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
provides the public notice that by letter dated May 22, 2019, the Belt
Railway Company of Chicago (BRC) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 234.309,
ENS signs in general, and 49 CFR 234.311, ENS sign placement and
maintenance. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2019-0055.
    Specifically, BRC requests relief from the requirement to replace
signage under Sec. Sec.  234.309 and 234.311, pending the successful
conclusion of two 49 CFR part 236 block signal applications (BSAP) (see
Docket Numbers FRA-2019-0039 and FRA-2019-0010). Access to the subject
track is either over Bridge 710 on Canadian National Railway's (CN)
Lakefront Subdivision or via access from BRC's Kenton Line. BSAPs were
filed by both BRC and CN based on lack of traffic and upgrades that
will render this trackage entirely inaccessible for train traffic.
There is currently no rail service on this track, and no plan to
restore service.
    This single industrial track includes no sidings or auxiliary
tracks and runs parallel to Harbor Avenue and South Lake Shore Drive.
There are five private highway-rail grade crossings (HRGC) and one
public HRGC on the route:
    (1) DOT #869205W--milepost (MP) 0.29--Private;
    (2) DOT #869206D--MP 0.52--Ewing Avenue;
    (3) DOT #869207K--MP 0.53--Private;
    (4) DOT #869208S--MP 0.63--Private;
    (5) DOT #869209Y--MP 0.65--Private; and
    (6) DOT #869210T--MP 0.71--Private.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's

Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, W12-140,
