Draft Burden Estimates for Draft Survey Form to be used under Schools
Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3)

1.0	Introduction

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing a survey to
collect information from its Partners under the Schools Chemical
Cleanout Campaign (SC3).  Before the survey can be distributed to 10 or
more organizations, EPA must obtain clearance from the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the 1995 Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA).  To request OMB clearance, EPA must submit an Information
Collection Request (ICR) that describes and justifies the proposed
survey and estimates the annual hour and cost burden to respondents
(i.e., Partners) and the Agency.

This document presents EPA’s draft burden estimates for respondents
and the Agency to carry out the survey.  Section 2.0 of this document
briefly describes the SC3 Program and draft survey instrument.  Section
3.0 presents EPA’s draft burden estimates.

Over the coming months, EPA will continue to refine its survey and
burden estimates as it prepares the ICR.  Among other things, EPA will
conduct a pre-test of the survey.  EPA will ask participants of the
pre-test for feedback on the survey (e.g., its clarity and
effectiveness) and their burden to complete it.  In addition, EPA will
review the public’s comments received in response to the notice in the
Federal Register announcing its intent to forward an ICR to OMB.  EPA
will modify the survey and ICR to reflect this feedback as appropriate
before forwarding them to OMB.

2.0	Background of SC3 and Proposed Survey

The Schools Chemical Cleanout Campaign (SC3) was created in 2004,
building on regional, state, tribal, and local SC3 programs across the
nation.  The National SC3 program was launched in March of 2007.  The
National SC3 program uses a variety of innovative approaches to achieve
three goals: (1) removal of outdated and dangerous chemicals from K-12
schools; (2) prevention of future accumulations of chemicals and
reduction of accidents by establishing prevention activities such as
good purchasing and management practices; and, (3) raising national
awareness of the problem.

One of the ways that EPA accomplishes its goals is by partnering with
organizations that volunteer to assist schools in the management of the
schools’ chemicals and the removal of schools’ chemical waste.
There are currently eleven Partners.

To evaluate the current state of the program and determine what the
future direction should be, EPA intends to conduct a voluntary survey of
its Partners to gather information on their activities and the results
of their work under the program.  To this end, EPA has prepared a draft
survey form with four main goals:

Collect general information about the Partners (e.g., reasons for
joining the SC3 Program, future plans, etc.);

Identify the accomplishments of Partners under the SC3 Program and how
many schools/school districts, students and school personnel are
involved/impacted;

Identify additional resources needed by Partners to accomplish SC3
goals; and

Collect lessons learned from Partners on what has worked and what has
not worked under the Program, so this information can be shared with
others.

EPA intends to ask Partners to complete and submit the survey while the
partnership is in effect.  The survey will be available to Partners in
an electronic format.  They can submit completed surveys by email,
postal mail, or fax.

3.0	Hour and Cost Burden of the Collection

This section describes EPA’s burden estimates for respondents and the
Agency to carry out the survey.  Sections 3.1 and 3.2 describe the
Agency’s assumptions used in calculating the annual bottom-line burden
to respondents and Agency, respectively.  Section 3.3 presents the
estimated bottom-line annual burden to respondents and the Agency.

	3.1	Respondent Burden Assumptions

The following paragraphs describe the assumptions used to derive the
annual respondent burden estimates.  Exhibit 1, presented in Section
3.3, provides an estimate of the bottom-line annual burden to
respondents under the survey.

Respondent Universe and Burden Hour Assumptions

There are currently eleven Partners in the SC3 Program.  In addition,
EPA expects that eleven new Partners will join SC3 each year.  Each
Partner will be asked to complete and submit the survey annually.

EPA estimates that it will take a Partner one hour, on average, to
complete and submit a survey for the first time.  EPA estimates that a
Partner will take less time to complete and submit a survey in each
subsequent year.  This is because these Partners will be able to build
from their previously submitted survey.  For example, some of the
survey’s questions ask a Partner to provide general information about
its organization (e.g., how it became aware of SC3, why it joined SC3,
etc.).  Partners would not need to provide new responses to such
questions if their previous responses are still valid.  In addition,
they will be more familiar with the instructions and information needs
than the first time.  Because of these reasons, EPA estimates that it
will take a Partner 45 minutes, on average, to update and submit a
survey in each subsequent year.

The table below shows the number of Partners expected to complete the
survey in each of the three years of the ICR.  It shows that:

In the first year of the ICR, EPA estimates that the eleven existing
Partners, as well as the eleven new Partners expected to join the
Program during the year, will complete the survey for their first time.

In the second year, EPA estimates that the 22 existing Partners will
update their previously completed survey.  In addition, eleven new
Partners will complete the survey for their first time.

In the third year, EPA estimates that the 33 existing Partners will
update their previously completed survey.  In addition, eleven new
Partners will complete the survey for their first time.

Based on these assumptions, the table shows the average annual number of
Partners estimated to complete the survey during the three-year life of
this ICR (i.e., the total number of Partners divided by three years).
Specifically, it shows that, on average each year, 15 Partners will
prepare a survey for their first time and 18 Partners will update a
survey that had been completed in a previous year.

Partners	Annual Number of Partners	Average Annual

Number of Partners*

	Year 1	Year 2	Year 3

	Partners that complete survey for the first time	22	11	11	15

Partners that update survey that had been completed in a previous year	0
22	33	18

Total	22	33	44	33

* Total number of Partners in Years 1-3 divided by three years (includes
rounding).

EPA used the average annual number of respondents, along with the burden
estimates described above, to estimate the average annual burden to
respondents.  Specifically, EPA estimates that 15 Partners will take one
hour to prepare a survey for the first time and 18 Partners will take 45
minutes to update their survey on average each year.  These assumptions
are reflected in Exhibit 1.

Respondent Cost Assumptions

Exhibit 1 reflects the following cost assumptions:

Labor costs – The respondent labor costs in Exhibit 1 were obtained
from the “May 2006 National Occupational Employment and Wage
Estimates.” The estimates can be found in the Occupational Employment
Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
EPA updated the 2006 wage estimates to 2008 wage levels using the
employment cost index.  EPA then multiplied the rates by the labor cost
fringe benefits and overhead factor of 1.4845.  Based on this, EPA
estimates an average loaded respondent hourly labor rate of $64.63 for
legal staff, $69.61 for managerial staff, $45.44 for technical staff,
and $22.99 for clerical staff.

Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs – O&M costs are defined by the
PRA as the recurring costs associated with a collection of information
(e.g., postage, photocopying, etc.).  EPA expects all Partners to use
their existing email capabilities to submit completed surveys to EPA.
EPA does not expect any O&M costs to respondents in carrying out the
survey.

Capital costs – Capital costs usually include any produced physical
good needed to provide the needed information, such as machinery,
computers, and other equipment.  EPA does not expect any capital costs
to respondents in completing the survey.

3.2	Agency Burden Assumptions

The following paragraphs describe the assumptions used to derive the
annual Agency burden estimates.  Exhibit 2, presented in Section 3.3,
provides an estimate of the bottom-line annual burden to the Agency
under the survey.

Agency Burden Hour Assumptions

EPA estimates that Agency personnel will take 15 minutes on average to
review and keep records of each completed survey collected from
Partners.  This is reflected in Exhibit 2.

Agency Cost Assumptions

Exhibit 2 reflects the following cost assumptions:

Labor costs – Unloaded hourly wage rates for EPAs’ activities were
taken from the 2008 General Schedule and Locality Pay Tables from the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management.  EPA then multiplied the rates by
the labor cost fringe benefits and overhead factor of 1.6.  Based on
this, EPA applied the following average loaded hourly wage rates for
government labor: $76.67 per hour for legal staff, $70.46 per hour for
managerial staff, $59.63 per hour for technical staff, and $22.82 per
hour for clerical staff.

Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs – EPA does not expect any O&M
costs to the Agency in carrying out the survey.

Capital costs – EPA does not expect any capital costs to the Agency in
administering the survey.

3.3	Bottom-line Annual Respondent and Agency Burden

Exhibit 1 shows that the bottom-line annual respondent hour and cost
burden is estimated to be 28 hours and $1, 247.

Exhibit 2 shows that the bottom-line annual Agency hour and cost burden
is estimated to be 8 hours and $388.

 An ICR is normally effective for three years from the date of OMB
approval.  After three years, the ICR must be updated and submitted to
OMB for renewal.

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1037]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1 percent annual-
chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before June 23, 2009.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1037, to
William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief, Engineering Management Branch,
Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-3151 or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

C. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its regulatory process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-year period to align with the maximum duration of a
driver's medical certification.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen)
in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing red,
green, and amber.
    The 156 individuals listed in this notice have requested renewal of
their exemptions from the vision standard in Sec.  391.41(b)(10), in
accordance with FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated
these applications for renewal on their merits and decided to extend
each exemption for a renewable 2-year period.

III. Request for Comments

    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

IV. Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), each of the 156
applicants has satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the vision standard (see 64 FR 27027, 64 FR 40404, 64 FR

evidence showing that the vision in the better eye continues to meet
the requirement specified at Sec.  391.41(b)(10) and that the vision
impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each record of safety
while driving with the respective vision deficiencies over the past 2
years indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision exemption
requirements. These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting
each driver's ability to continue to drive safely in interstate
commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for
each renewal applicant for a period of 2 years is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following
groups of drivers received renewed exemptions in the month of December
and are discussed below. As of December 3, 2021, and in accordance with
49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), the following 140 individuals have
satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the
vision requirement in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (64 FR
