Abstract: This ICR describes the incremental recordkeeping and reporting burden to an existing rule that EPA is amending. We promulgated new emission standards and controls for hazardous waste combustors   incinerators, cement kilns, and lightweight aggregate kilns   on September 30, 1999 ( 64 FR 52828). On July 3, 2001, we published a direct final rule ( 66 FR 35087) and a notice of proposed rulemaking ( 66 FR 35126) that promulgated and proposed a number of amendments to the September 30, 1999 final rule. We published thirteen of those amendments as direct final rules because we believed the amendments to be non controversial. However, we further stated that if we received adverse comment on one or more of the amendments, we would publish in the Federal Register a timely withdrawal of the amendments that received adverse comment, and deal with those amendments as proposed rules. We subsequently received adverse comment on four of the thirteen amendments, and we withdrew the four amendments on October 15, 2001 ( 66 FR 52361). The scope of this ICR includes the four amendments that received adverse comment and a subset of the twenty amendments also proposed on July 3, 2001. The initial paperwork burden for the September 30, 1999 final rule was approved in EPA ICR Request # 1773.02 " New and Amended Reporting Requirements for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant from Hazardous Waste Combustors." The existing paperwork burden for the 1999 final rule was approved in EPA ICR Requests # 1773.02 and later modified by ICRs # 1773.03 and # 1773.05. [ Note: EPA also recently promulgated a final rule that had an EPA ICR Request # 1773.06 assigned to it. The burden estimates in this ICR are incremental from totals in # 1773.06.]

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0810; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-195-AD;
Amendment 39-17420; AD 2013-08-03]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-200 and A340-300 series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that revealed the wheel
axles of the main landing gear (MLG) were machined with a radius as
small as 0.4 millimeters. This AD requires replacing the wheel axle of
the MLG with a serviceable part. We are issuing this AD to prevent
fatigue of the wheel axle of the MLG, which could adversely affect the
structural integrity of the airplane.

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

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on August 27, 2012 (77
FR 51729). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information
(MCAI) states:

    EASA [European Aviation Safety Agency] has received a report via
Airbus and Messier-Bugatti-Dowty Ltd, from a Maintenance repair
organisation, concerning a specific repair, accomplished on certain
MLG wheel axles. Investigations revealed that the axles have been
machined with a radius as small as 0.4 mm.
    This condition, if not corrected, has a detrimental effect on
the fatigue lives of these parts, possibly affecting the structural
integrity of the aeroplane. Fatigue analyses were performed, the
results of which indicated that the life limit of the affected MLG
wheel axles must be reduced to below the one stated in the A330 and
A340 Airbus Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS) Part 1.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA) AD [2011-0170,
dated September 7, 2011] requires the replacement of the MLG wheel
axles before reaching the new reduced demonstrated life limit.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27,
2012), or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Explanation of Changes Made Since NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012)
Was Issued

    Since the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012) was issued, we have
reviewed Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A330-32A-3256,
Revision 01, including Appendix 1, dated October 18, 2012 (for Model
A330-200 and -300 series airplanes); and Airbus AOT A340-32A-4292,
Revision 01, including Appendix 1, dated October 18, 2012 (for Model
A340-200 and -300 series airplanes). This service information includes
additional wheel axle serial numbers and corrects an incorrectly listed
serial number. We have revised paragraphs (g), (h), and (k) (paragraph
(j) of the NPRM) of this AD to refer to the new service information. We
have coordinated this change with EASA.
    We have also added new paragraph (j), ``Credit for Previous
Actions,'' to this AD to provide credit for actions performed before
the effective date of this AD using Airbus All Operator Telex A330-
32A3256, including Appendix 1, dated August 24, 2011; and Airbus All
Operator Telex A340-32A4292, including Appendix 1, dated August 24,
2011.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD with the changes described
previously--and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27, 2012).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 59 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 48 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $153,443 per
product. Where the service information lists required parts costs that
are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no
charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for
affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated
here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the
U.S. operators to be $9,293,857, or $157,523 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more

detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (77 FR 51729, August 27,
2012), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

[Project No. 8866-013]

Black Canyon Bliss, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment

    On February 28, 2022, Black Canyon Bliss LLC filed an application
for a subsequent license to continue operating the existing 24-kilowatt
Stevenson No. 2 Hydroelectric Project No. 8866 (Stevenson No. 2 Project
or project). The project is located on an unnamed tributary to the
Snake River in Gooding County, Idaho. The project does not occupy
federal land.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on November 14,
2022, Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed on the REA notice, staff does not
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on
the application to license the Stevenson No. 2 Project.
    The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
    The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) regulations
under 40 CFR 1501.10(b)(1) require that EAs be completed within 1
year of the federal action agency's decision to prepare an EA. This
notice establishes the Commission's intent to prepare an EA for the
Stevenson No. 2 Project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQ's
regulations, the Final EA must be issued within 1 year of the
issuance date of this notice.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2017-0188; Airspace Docket No. 17-AGL-8]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Brainerd, MN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace extending up to 700 feet
above the surface at Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport (formerly
Brainerd-Crow Wing County Regional Airport), Brainerd, MN. Airspace
reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of the Brainerd
(BRD) VHF omnidirectional radio range tactical air navigation aid
(VORTAC), and cancellation of the VOR approach. This action also
updates the geographic coordinates of the airport and the airport name
in the Class E airspace. Additionally, an editorial change is made to
the Class E surface area airspace legal description replacing Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, December 7, 2017. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends Class E airspace at Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport,
Brainerd, MN, to support instrument flight rules operations at the
airport.

History

    The FAA published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) (82 FR 22091, May 12, 2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0188
to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface and associated Class E airspace at Brainerd Lakes Regional
Airport, Brainerd, MN. An editorial correction is made to the heading
for para 6002, removing excess language. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005 respectfully of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and
effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 7.1-mile (from a 7.9-mile) radius of Brainerd
Lakes Regional Airport (formerly Brainerd-Crow Wing County Regional
Airport), MN, with a segment extending 2 miles each side of the
233[deg] bearing extending from the 7.1-mile radius to 9.1 miles
southwest of the airport.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
the Brainerd VORTAC and cancellation of the VOR approaches, and for the
safety and management of the standard instrument approach procedures
for IFR operations at the airport. This action also updates the
geographic coordinates of the airport.
    Additionally, this action replaces the outdated term Airport/
Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement in Class E surface
area airspace, as well as updates the airport name from Brainerd-Crow
Wing County Regional Airport to Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low-income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is announcing its receipt of several pesticide petitions filed
under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA),
21 U.S.C. 346a, requesting the establishment or modification of
regulations in 40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in
or on various food commodities. The Agency is taking public comment on
the requests before responding to the petitioners. EPA is not proposing
any particular action at this time. EPA has determined that the
pesticide petitions described in this document contain the data or
information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C.
346a(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the
submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the
pesticide petitions. After considering the public comments, EPA intends
to evaluate whether and what action may be warranted. Additional data
may be needed before EPA can make a final determination on these
pesticide petitions.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of each of the petitions
that are the subject of this document, prepared by the petitioner, is
included in a docket EPA has created for each rulemaking. The docket
for each of the petitions is available at http://www.regulations.gov.
    As specified in FFDCA section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA
is publishing notice of the petition so that the public has an
opportunity to comment on this request for the establishment or
modification of regulations for residues of pesticides in or on food
commodities. Further information on the petition may be obtained
through the petition summary referenced in this unit.

II. Background

A. What is a TSCA Section 21 Petition?

    Section 21 of TSCA allows citizens to petition EPA to initiate a
proceeding for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule under TSCA
section 4, 6, or 8 or an order under TSCA section 5(e) or 6(b)(2). A
TSCA section 21 petition must set forth facts that the petitioner
believes establish the need for the action requested. EPA is required
to grant or deny the petition within 90 days of its filing. If EPA
grants the petition, EPA must promptly commence an appropriate
proceeding. If EPA denies the petition, EPA must publish its reasons
for the denial in the Federal Register. Within 60 days of denial or
expiration of the 90-day period, if no action is taken, the petitioner
may commence a civil action in a U.S. district court to compel
initiation of the requested rulemaking proceeding.

B. What Action is Requested Under this TSCA Section 21 Petition?

    On March 24, 2008, the Sierra Club, National Center for Healthy
Housing, National Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning, Alliance
for Healthy Homes, National Housing Institute, Healthy Building
Network, Gulf Coast Environmental Restoration Task Force of Sierra
Club, Next Generation Choices Foundation, Improving Kids' Environment,
EarthRose Institute, Grassroots Environmental Education, Healthy Homes
of Louisiana, Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper, Women's Community Cancer

for composite wood products, including hardwood plywood, particle
board, and medium density fiberboard, recently adopted by the
California Air Resources Board.
    2. Extend the regulation to include composite wood products used in
manufactured homes.

C. EPA Seeks Public Comment

    Under TSCA section 21, EPA must either grant or deny a petition
within 90 days. Because the 90-day response date is June 21, 2008, EPA
will allow the public until May 12, 2008 to reply with any additional
information relevant to the issues identified in the petition, a copy
of which can be obtained from the public docket (see ADDRESSES).
    While EPA is interested in any information relevant to the issues
identified in the petition, EPA is particularly interested in comments
that address any of the following questions:
    1. Present domestic composite wood market. What percentage (by
volume of product) of the domestic hardwood plywood, particle board,
and medium density fiberboard (``composite wood'') markets, exclusive
of California, presently conform to the Phase 1 or Phase 2 emissions
limits in the California Air Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) for
formaldehyde in composite wood products? For information on the
California ATCM see http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/compwood/compwood.htm.
    2. Future domestic composite wood market--i. What percentage (by
volume of product) of the domestic composite wood market, exclusive of
California, anticipates conforming to the California ATCM in the
future?
    ii. How is this likely to vary by region of the country, as
compared to the national market?
    3. Formaldehyde emitting substitutes--i. What low or no
formaldehyde emitting substitutes exist?
    ii. What percentage of the composite wood market uses them?
    iii. What percentage of the national composite wood market,
exclusive of California, is expected to use them after 2012 (when
California's Phase 2 emission limits have become effective)?
    4. Composite wood products used in manufactured housing. While the
California regulation does not apply to manufactured housing, the
petitioners have asked EPA to apply the California regulation ``to
composite wood products used in manufactured housing'':
    i. What percentage of the composite wood market is used in
manufactured housing?
    ii. How are the composite wood products used in manufactured
housing different from composite wood products subject to the
California regulation?
    iii. What is the annual volume of composite wood products used in
manufactured housing?
    iv. What percentage of composite wood products (by volume of
product) is used in manufactured housing and is therefore not subject
to the California regulations?
    v. What percentage of composite wood products used for manufactured
housing and not subject to California's regulations nonetheless meets
the California emission limits?
    In assessing the usability of any data or information that may be
submitted,

EPA plans to follow the guidelines in EPA's ``A Summary of General
Assessment Factors for Evaluating the Quality of Scientific and
Technical Information'' (EPA 100B-03/001), referred to as the
``Assessment Factors Document.'' The ``Assessment Factors Document''
was published in the Federal Register issue of July 1, 2003 (68 FR
39086) (FRL-7520-2) and is available on-line at http://www.epa.gov/

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 15c3-4, SEC File No. 270-441, OMB Control No. 3235-0497

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information provided for in Rule 15c3-4 (17 CFR 240.15c3-4) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office
of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rule 15c3-4 requires certain broker-dealers that are registered
with the Commission as OTC derivatives dealers, or who compute their
net capital charges under Appendix E to Rule 15c3-1 (17 CFR 240.15c3-1)
(``ANC firms''), to establish, document, and maintain a system of
internal risk management controls. The Rule sets forth the basic
elements for an OTC derivatives dealer or an ANC firm to consider and
include when establishing, documenting, and reviewing its internal risk
management control system, which are designed to, among other things,
ensure the integrity of an OTC derivatives dealer's or an ANC firm's
risk measurement, monitoring, and management process, to clarify
accountability at the appropriate organizational level, and to define
the permitted scope of the dealer's activities and level of risk. The
Rule also requires that management of an OTC derivatives dealer or an
ANC firm must periodically review, in accordance with written
procedures, the firm's business activities for consistency with its
risk management guidelines.
    The staff estimates that the average amount of time a new OTC
derivatives dealer will spend establishing and documenting its risk
management control system is 2,000 hours and that, on average, a
registered OTC derivatives dealer will spend approximately 200 hours
each year to maintain (e.g., reviewing and updating) its risk
management control system.\1\ Currently, three firms are registered
with the Commission as OTC derivatives dealers. The staff estimates
that approximately six additional OTC derivatives dealers may become
registered within the next three years. Thus, the estimated annualized
burden would be 600 hours for the three OTC derivatives dealers
currently registered with the Commission to maintain their risk
management control systems,\2\ 4,000 hours for the six new OTC
derivatives dealers to establish and document their risk management
control systems,\3\ and 1,200 hours for the six new OTC derivatives
dealers to maintain their risk management control systems.\4\

Accordingly, the staff estimates the total annualized burden associated
with Rule 15c3-4 for the six OTC derivatives dealers will be
approximately 5,800 hours annually.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This notice does not cover the hour burden associated with
ANC firms, because the hour burden for ANC firms is included in the
Paperwork Reduction Act collection for Rule 15c3-1, which requires
ANC firms to comply with specific provisions of Rule 15c3-4 in
Appendix E to Rule 15c3-1. See 17 CFR 240.15c3-1(a)(7)(iii), 17 CFR
240.15c3-1e(a)(1)(ii), and 17 CFR 240.15c3-1e(a)(1)(viii)(C).
    \2\ (200 hours x 3 firms) = 600.
    \3\ ((2,000 hours/3 years) x 6 firms) = 4,000.
    \4\ (200 hours x 6 firms) = 1,200.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The staff believes that the internal cost of complying with Rule
15c3-4 will be approximately $314 per hour.\5\ This per hour cost is
based upon an annual average hourly salary for a compliance manager who
would be responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of
Rule 15c3-4. Accordingly, the total annualized internal cost of
compliance for all affected OTC derivatives dealers is estimated to be
$1,821,200.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The $314 per hour salary figure for a compliance manager is
from SIFMA's Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities
Industry 2013, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-
hour work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm
size, employee benefits and overhead.
    \6\ 5,800 hours x $314 per hour = $1,821,200.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.
    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.
    Please direct your written comments to: Charles Riddle, Acting
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an
email to: [email protected].
