DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2011-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1189]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this proposed
rule 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 to 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 July 18, 2011.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is 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-1189, to
Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500
C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, 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
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those 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.

Annualized over the two-year report cycle, this results in 128,300 Forms GM each year (i.e., 119,664 forms from private sector facilities and 8,636 forms from State and local government facilities).

      (a5)	Gather Information and Complete Form WR

      EPA estimates that respondents will submit a total of 1,269,595 Forms WR with the Hazardous Waste Report.  Annualized over the two-year report cycle, this results in 634,798 Forms WR each year (i.e., 631,260 forms from private sector facilities and 3,538 forms from State and local government facilities).

      Note that the number of Forms WR represents the number of blocks on Form WR that have been completed; the paper form actually contains three blocks of the same WR information (i.e., the same questions, repeated three times on the same page).

      (a6)	Gather Information and Complete Form OI

      Because this form is a State-optional form, EPA does not expect any facilities to submit Form OI and therefore does not calculate the burden for this form.

      (a7)	Submit the Biennial Report to State/Region

      EPA expects each respondent, 10,268 facilities per year (i.e., 9,201 private sector facilities and 1,067 State and local government facilities), to submit the report to the appropriate State or Region.

      (a8)	Maintain a Copy of Each Form

      EPA expects facilities to retain an estimated 773,366 (i.e., 10,268 Site ID Forms + 128,300 Forms GM + 634,798 Forms WR) forms each year (i.e., 760,125 forms from private sector facilities and 13,241 forms from State and local government facilities).

      (b)	Hazardous Waste Report  -  State Agencies (Exhibit 1C)

      (b1)	Distribute Hazardous Waste Report Forms and Instructions

      EPA estimates that State agencies will distribute Hazardous Waste Report forms and instructions to 20,303 respondents.  Annualized over the two-year report cycle, this results in 10,152 respondents each year.

      (b2)	Assist Respondents

      EPA expects State agencies to provide assistance to all 20,303 respondents.  Annualized over the two-year report cycle, this results in 10,152 respondents each year.

      (b3)	Key Entry of Report Submissions

      EPA estimates that State agencies will need to key enter data for 22,382 Hazardous Waste Report forms (i.e., Site ID Form, Form GM, and Form WR) completed manually by the facilities.  Annualized over the two-year report cycle, this results in 11,191 respondents each year.

      (b4)	Perform Quality Assurance

      EPA expects State agencies to perform data quality assurance on all 1,546,729 Hazardous Waste Report forms (i.e., Site ID Form, Form GM, and Form WR) submitted by facilities.  Annualized over the two-year report cycle, this results in 771,988 respondents each year.

      (c)	Notification of Regulated Waste Activity - Facilities (Exhibits 2A and 2B)

      (c1)	Notification of Hazardous Secondary Material Activity under 40 CFR 260.42

      EPA estimates that, each year, 18 entities (i.e., 18 private sector facilities and 0 State and local government facility) will notify under 40 CFR 260.42 prior to operating under the exclusion and be required to complete the information laid out at section 260.42(a).

      In addition, entities must re-notify using the Site ID Form by March 1 of each even numbered year thereafter.  Note that the Hazardous Waste Report regulations already require the submittal of the Site ID Form by March 1 of each even numbered year by LQGs (40 CFR Part 262) and TSDFs (40 CFR Part 264 and 265).  Hence, this section of the ICR estimates burden for SQG and CESQG re-notifications only.  For purposes of this ICR, EPA estimates that, each year, a total of 9 SQGs and CESQGs will re-notify (i.e., 9 private sector facilities and 0 State and local government facilities).

      EPA estimates that, each year, 15 entities will re-notify because they stopped operating under the exclusion (i.e., 15 private sector facilities and 0 State and local government facilities).

      (c2)	Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under RCRA Section 3010

      EPA estimates that, each year, 10,217 facilities (i.e., 9,157 private sector facilities and 1,060 State and local government facilities) will submit an initial notification of hazardous waste activity under RCRA Section 3010.  EPA also estimates that, each year, 36,016 facilities (i.e., 34,056 private sector facilities and 1,960 State and local government facilities) will submit a subsequent notification associated with these requirements.

      (c3)	Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K

      Intent to Comply with Subpart K and Recordkeeping of Agreements

      An eligible academic entity must submit the Site ID Form to notify EPA or the authorized State that it is electing to be subject to Subpart K for all laboratories owned by the eligible academic entity under the same EPA Identification Number.  An eligible academic entity that is a CESQG and does not have an EPA Identification Number must notify for all laboratories that are owned or operated by the eligible academic entity that are on-site.  EPA estimates that, each year, 14 forms will be completed, submitted, and retained (i.e., 4 forms from private sector entities and 10 forms from State and local government entities).

      Teaching hospitals opting into Subpart K must keep a copy of their formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university on file if they are not owned by a college or university.   EPA estimates that, each year, 1 site will retain the agreement on file (i.e., 0 agreements from private sector entities and 1 agreement from State and local government entities).

      Non-profit research institutes not owned by a college or university opting into Subpart K must keep a copy of the formal written affiliation agreement with a college or university on file.  EPA estimates that, each year, 1 site will retain the agreement on file (i.e., 1 agreement from private sector entities and 0 agreements from State and local government entities).

      Withdrawal from 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K

      EPA estimates that, each year, 421 eligible academic entities will submit a notification of withdrawal from 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K. (i.e., 414 notifications from private sector entities and 7 notifications from State and local government entities).

      (c4)	Notification of Universal Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C

      EPA estimates that, each year, 83 facilities (i.e., 70 private sector facilities and 13 State and local government facilities) will submit an initial notification of universal waste activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C.  Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 83 x 0.75 = 62) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 83 x 0.25 = 21) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.

      EPA also estimates that, each year, 101facilities (i.e., 89 private sector facilities and 12 State and local government facilities) will submit a subsequent notification of universal waste activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C.  Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 101 x 0.75 =76) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 101 x 0.25 =25) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.

      (c5)	Notification of Used Oil Activity under 40 CFR Part 279

      EPA estimates that, each year, 82 facilities (i.e., 78 private sector facilities and 4 State and local government facilities) will submit an initial notification of used oil activity under 40 CFR Part 279.  Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 82 x 0.75 = 61) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 82 x 0.25 = 21) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.

      EPA also estimates that, each year, 198 facilities (i.e., 192 private sector facilities and 6 State and local government facilities) will submit a subsequent notification of universal waste activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C.  Of these facilities, 75 percent (i.e., 198 x 0.75 =148) will use the Site ID Form and 25 percent (i.e., 198 x 0.25 = 50) will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.
      (d)	Notification of Regulated Waste Activity  -  State Agencies (Exhibit 2C)

	State agencies will conduct the information collection activities associated with the Notification of Regulated Waste Activity in Authorized States.

      (d1)	Notification of Hazardous Secondary Material Activity under 40 CFR 260.42

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter notification information into RCRAInfo for 16 facilities that plan to operate under the exclusion at 40 CFR 260.42, 8 facilities that must re-notify by March 1 of each even numbered year, and 13 facilities that will re-notify because they stopped operating under the exclusion.

      (d2)	Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under RCRA Section 3010

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter notification information into RCRAInfo for 10,217 facilities that will submit an initial notification of hazardous waste activity under RCRA Section 3010 and for 36,016 facilities that will submit a subsequent notification associated with these requirements.

      (d3)	Notification of Hazardous Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K

      Intent to Comply with Subpart K and Recordkeeping of Agreements

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter notification information into RCRAInfo for 14 eligible academic entities that elect to be subject to Subpart K for all laboratories owned by the eligible academic entity under the same EPA Identification Number.

      Withdrawal from 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter notification information into RCRAInfo for 421 eligible academic entities that withdraw from the 40 CFR Part 262, Subpart K requirements.

      (d4)	Notification of Universal Waste Activity under 40 CFR Part 273, Subpart C

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter initial notification information into RCRAInfo for 83 facilities.  Of these facilities, 62 will use the Site ID Form and 21 will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.

      EPA also estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter subsequent notification information into RCRAInfo for 101facilities.  Of these facilities, 76 will use the Site ID Form and 25 will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.

      (d5)	Notification of Used Oil Activity under 40 CFR Part 279

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter initial notification information into RCRAInfo for 82 facilities.  Of these facilities, 61 will use the Site ID Form and 21 will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.

      EPA also estimates that, each year, State agencies will review and enter subsequent notification information for 198 facilities.  Of these facilities, 148 will use the Site ID Form and 50 will prepare and submit a letter requesting an EPA Identification Number.
      (e)	Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification - Facilities (Exhibits 3A and 3B)

      (e1)	Part A Permit Application

      EPA estimates that, each year, 4 facilities (i.e., 4 private sector facilities and 0 State and local government facility) will submit a new Part A Permit Application.  All facilities will need to obtain signatures for the Part A Permit Application, Part A Permit Application reports, and other information requested by the Director.  In addition, all facilities will need to obtain certifications from persons signing permit documentation.

      EPA also estimates that, each year, 10 percent of the facilities submitting Part A Permit Applications will have authorizations that are no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility.  Therefore, each year, 1 facility will need to obtain a new authorization.

      (e2)	Revised Part A Permit Applications and Associated Justifications and Subpart H Compliance Demonstrations

      EPA estimates that, each year, 25 facilities (i.e., 23 private sector facilities and 2 State and local government facilities) will need to revise their Part A Permit Application.  Of these, EPA expects that approximately one-third (8 facilities) will submit a revised Part A Permit Application in response to an EPA rulemaking, and two-thirds (17facilities) will submit a revised Part A Permit Application for a facility modification.

      EPA further estimates that, each year, one-third of facilities submitting revised Part A Permit Applications (8 facilities) will need to submit justifications due to either changes in the design capacity of processes used at the facility and/or changes or additions in a facility's hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal processes.  In addition, EPA estimates that, each year, one-third of facilities submitting revised Part A Permit Applications (8 facilities) will need to submit a Subpart H compliance demonstration due to changes in ownership or operational control of a facility.

      (f)       Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification  -  State Agencies (Exhibit 3C)

      (f1)	Part A Permit Application

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will receive 4 Part A Permit Applications.  State agencies will need to review the applications, review the signatories to the permit applications and reports, and enter the Part A Permit Application information into RCRAInfo.

      EPA also estimates that, each year, 10 percent of the Part A Permit Applications will have authorizations that are no longer accurate because a different individual or position has responsibility for the overall operation of the facility.  Therefore, each year, State agencies will need to notify1 applicant of a deficiency in the Part A Application and review the newly authorized signature.

      (f2)	Revised Part A Permit Applications and Associated Justifications and Subpart H Compliance Demonstrations

      EPA estimates that, each year, State agencies will receive 25 revised Part A Permit Applications.  State agencies will need to review the applications and enter the Part A Permit Application information into RCRAInfo.

      EPA further estimates that, each year, one-third of the revised Part A Permit Applications (8 applications) will be accompanied by justifications due to either changes in the design capacity of processes used at the facility and/or changes or additions in a facility's hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal processes.  In addition, EPA estimates that, each year, one-third of the revised Part A Permit Applications (8applications) will be accompanied by a Subpart H compliance demonstration due to changes in ownership or operational control of a facility.  State agencies will need to review all justifications and Subpart H compliance demonstrations.

	6(e)	BOTTOM LINE HOUR AND COST BURDEN

(1)	Respondent Tally

      Exhibit 7 summarizes the total annual respondent hour and cost burden associated with all the requirements covered in this ICR.  As shown in the exhibit, EPA estimates the annual respondent burden to be 619,489 hours and $25,530,368.  The bottom line burden to respondents over two years is estimated to be 1,238,978 hours and $51,060,736.

(2)	Agency Tally

      Exhibit 8 summarizes the total annual EPA hour and cost burden associated with all the requirements covered in this ICR.  As shown in the exhibit, EPA estimates the annual EPA burden to be 1,178 hours and $247,297.  The bottom line burden to EPA over two years is estimated to be 2,356 hours and $494,594.
       6(f)	REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN

      Following is a discussion of reasons for change in burden.  Note that this ICR burden changed solely because of adjustments.  There were no program changes.

(1)	Hazardous Waste Report

      (a)	Facility Burden

	For facilities, the annual burden estimate for the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report (EPA ICR Number 0976.16) was 170,250 hours.  The annual burden estimate for the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report is 195,725 hours.  This represents an increase of 25,475 hours.

	This increase in burden has occurred for two primary reasons. First, there was an increase in the number of Hazardous Waste Report forms projected for 2013 versus the number of forms projected for 2015.  Table 12 compares the projected number of forms for the 2013 and the 2015 Hazardous Waste Reports.

	Second, in developing this ICR, EPA carefully reviewed the respondent activities associated with the Hazardous Waste Report requirements.  Based on consultations with industry, EPA increased some of the hourly burden estimates associated with the Hazardous Waste Report.  EPA believes that the revised burden estimates included in this ICR reflect a realistic industry average.

                                   Table 12

[a]  Negative value indicates a decrease in the number of forms.

     (b)	State Agency Burden

	For State agencies, the annual burden estimate for the 2013 Hazardous Waste Report (EPA ICR Number 0976.16) was 228,337 hours.  The annual burden estimate for the 2015 Hazardous Waste Report is 301,752 hours.  This represents an increase of 73,415 hours.

	This increase in burden has occurred for two primary reasons. First, there was an increase in the number of Hazardous Waste Report forms from 2013 to 2015.  Refer to Table 12 for a comparison of the projected number of forms for the 2013 and the 2015 Hazardous Waste Reports.

	Second, in developing this ICR, EPA carefully reviewed the respondent activities associated with the Hazardous Waste Report requirements.  Based on consultations with States, EPA increased some of the hourly burden estimates associated with the Hazardous Waste Report.  EPA believes that the revised burden estimates included in this ICR reflect a realistic national average.

      (2) Notification of Regulated Waste Activity

      (a)	Facility Burden

	For facilities, the annual burden estimate for the previously approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.16) was 33,826 hours.  The annual burden estimate for this current ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.17 is 34,876 hours.  This represents an increase of 1,050 hours.

	This increase in burden has occurred for two primary reasons.  First, there was an increase in the total number of notifications covered in the ICR.  As shown in Table 13, the total number of notifications increased from 46,035 in the previously approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.16) to 47,176 in this ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.17).

	Second, in developing this ICR, EPA carefully reviewed the respondent activities associated with the notification requirements.  Based on consultations with industry, EPA increased some of the hourly burden estimates associated with notifications.  EPA believes that the revised burden estimates included in this ICR reflect a realistic industry average.

[a]  Negative value indicates a decrease in the number of forms.

     (b)	State Agency Burden

	For State agencies, the annual burden estimate for the previously approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.16) was 0 hours.  The annual burden estimate for this current ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.17 is 86,538 hours.  This represents an increase of 86,538 hours.

	This increase in burden has occurred because, in the previously approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.16), all implementing agency activities were allocated to EPA.  However, Authorized States implement notification requirements.  Thus, the burden associated with notification activities at Authorized States was allocated to State agencies.  EPA believes that this revision more accurately reflects the burden to State agencies.

      (3) Part A Hazardous Waste Permit Application and Modification

      (a)	Facility Burden

	For facilities, the annual burden estimate for the previously approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.16) was 389 hours.  The annual burden estimate for this current ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.17 is 447 hours.  This represents an increase of 58 hours.

	The increase in hourly burden occurred for two primary reasons.  First, there was an increase in the number of modifications to Part A Permit Applications.  The number of modifications increased from 22 in the previously approved ICR to 25 in this ICR.

	Second, in developing this ICR, EPA carefully reviewed the respondent activities associated with the Part A Permit Application requirements.  Based on consultations with industry, EPA increased some of the hourly burden estimates associated with Part A Permit Applications.  EPA believes that the revised burden estimates included in this ICR reflect a realistic industry average.

     (b)	State Agency Burden

	For State agencies, the annual burden estimate for the previously approved ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.16) was 101 hours.  The annual burden estimate for this current ICR (EPA ICR Number 0976.17 is 150 hours.  This represents an increase of 49 hours.

	The increase in hourly burden occurred for two primary reasons.  First, there was an increase in the number of modifications to Part A Permit Applications.  The number of modifications increased from 22 in the previously approved ICR to 25 in this ICR.

	Second, in developing this ICR, EPA carefully reviewed the respondent activities associated with the Part A Permit Application requirements.  Based on consultations with States, EPA increased some of the hourly burden estimates associated with Part A Permit Applications.  EPA believes that the revised burden estimates included in this ICR reflect a realistic national average.
       6(g)	PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT
