DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0073; Airspace Docket No. 13-ASO-2]

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Dayton, TN, Establishment
of Class E Airspace; Cleveland, TN, and Revocation of Class E Airspace;
Bradley Memorial Hospital, Cleveland, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class E Airspace at Dayton, TN,
as the Hardwick Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) has been decommissioned
and new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) have been
developed at Mark Anton Airport. Also, Hardwick Field Airport has
closed; therefore, the controlled airspace area would be removed. This
proposal also would establish Class E Airspace at Cleveland Regional
Jetport, Cleveland, TN, to accommodate area navigation (RNAV) global
positioning system (GPS) SIAPs at the airport. Information regarding
Bradley Memorial Hospital would be added to the Cleveland, TN, airspace
description and removed from both the Dayton, TN, regulatory text as
well as its listing as Bradley Memorial Hospital, Cleveland, TN, to
correct an erroneous reference. This proposal would enhance the safety
and airspace management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in
the Dayton, TN, and Cleveland, TN, airspace areas.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 17, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this rule to: U.S. Department of

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface within a 9.8-mile radius of Mark Anton
Airport, Cleveland, TN, to support new Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures developed at Mark Anton Airport. Airspace reconfiguration is
necessary due to the decommissioning of the Hardwick NDB and
cancellation of the NDB approach. Also, controlled airspace is no
longer needed and would be removed from Hardwick Field Airport as the
airport has closed. This proposal also would establish Class E airspace
at Cleveland, TN, providing the controlled airspace required to support
the RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures for Cleveland
Regional Jetport. Controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface would be established within a 7.4-mile radius of the
airport, with an extension from the radius to 12 miles southwest of the
airport for the safety and management of IFR operations. Bradley
Memorial Hospital information would be added to the Cleveland, TN
descriptor and regulatory text, and removed from both the Dayton, TN,
regulatory text as well as its listing as Bradley Memorial Hospital,
Cleveland, TN, to correct an erroneous reference. This proposal would
enhance the safety and airspace management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations in the Dayton, TN, and Cleveland, TN, airspace areas.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15,
2012, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
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 proposed 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.
    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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would amend Class E airspace in the Dayton, TN,
and Cleveland, TN, areas.
    This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for clinical
investigators, sponsors, and IRBs entitled

``Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs)--Determining Whether
Human Research Studies Can Be Conducted Without an IND.'' FDA's primary
objectives in requiring the submission of and reviewing an IND are to
assure the safety and rights of subjects and, in Phases 2 and 3 of an
investigation, to help assure the quality of the scientific evaluation
of the drug is adequate to permit an evaluation of the drug's
effectiveness and safety.
    FDA receives frequent inquiries from external constituents, in
particular the academic research community (e.g., clinical
investigators, IRBs) and the pharmaceutical industry, about whether
various types of human research studies can be conducted without an
IND. These inquiries have addressed a range of issues concerning
application of the IND requirements in 21 CFR part 312, including
clinical investigations using marketed drugs, bioequivalence and
bioavailability studies, studies using radiolabeled or cold isotopes,
studies using foods or dietary supplements, studies using endogenous
compounds, pathogenesis studies using modified organisms, studies using
wild-type organisms in challenge models, and studies that do not have a
commercial purpose. Because of the volume and nature of inquiries, this
guidance is intended to assist clinical investigators, sponsors,
sponsor-investigators, and IRBs in determining whether an IND should be
submitted for their planned research.
    This guidance provides an overview of the general requirements for
determining whether a study involving human subjects requires
submission of an IND, describes the types of studies that involve drugs
but are exempt by regulation from the IND requirements, and addresses a
range of issues that commonly arise in inquiries to FDA concerning the
application of the IND requirements. This guidance also provides a
process for seeking advice from FDA concerning the application of the
IND regulations to a planned clinical investigation.
    In the Federal Register of October 14, 2010 (75 FR 63189), FDA
announced the availability of a draft version of this guidance. The
October 2010 guidance gave interested persons an opportunity to submit
comments through January 12, 2011. All comments received during the
comment period have been carefully reviewed and, where appropriate,
incorporated in the guidance. Most of the comments related to requests
to provide additional clarifications on specific recommendations in the
draft guidance. As a result of the public comment, certain sections of
the guidance have been reworded to improve clarity. In addition,
information has been added to explain the application of the IND
regulations to studies of ingredients or products marketed as
cosmetics, studies intended to evaluate conventional foods, and studies
intended to support a health claim.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
Agency's current thinking on determining whether human research studies
can be conducted without an IND. It does not create or confer any
rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the
public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies
the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to

    Title: FERC-725Y, Mandatory Reliability Standard (Personnel
Performance, Training, and Qualifications).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0279.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725Y information
collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.
    Abstract: The FERC-725Y information collection is intended to help
ensure the safe and reliable operation of the interconnected grid
through the retention of suitably trained and qualified personnel in
positions that can impact the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power
System. The Commission uses the FERC-725Y to implement the
Congressional mandate of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to develop
mandatory and enforceable Reliability Standards to better ensure the
reliability of the nation's Bulk-Power System. FERC-725Y ensures that
personnel performing or supporting real-time operations on the Bulk
Electric System (BES) are trained using a systematic approach. The
Reliability Standard requires entities to maintain records subject to
review by the Commission and North American Electric Reliability
Corporation (NERC) to ensure compliance with the Reliability Standard.
    Reliability Standard PER-005-2 requires entities to maintain
records subject to review by the Commission and NERC to ensure
compliance with the Reliability Standard. This Reliability Standard
contains of six Requirements:

 R1 requires reliability coordinators, balancing authorities,
and transmission operators to develop and implement a training program
for system operators
 R2 requires transmission owners to develop and implement a
training program for system operators
 R3 requires reliability coordinators, balancing authorities,
transmission operators and transmission owners to verify the
capabilities of their identified personnel
 R4 requires reliability coordinators, balancing authorities,
transmission operators and transmission owners to provide those
personnel with emergency operations training using simulation
technology
 R5 requires reliability coordinators, balancing authorities,
and transmission operators develop and implement training for system
operators whose job functions can impact BES real-time reliability
tasks
 R6 requires applicable generator operators to develop and
implement training for certain of their dispatch personnel at a
centrally located dispatch center

    Reliability Standard PER-006-1 ensures that personnel are trained
on specific topics essential to reliability to perform or support Real-
Time operations of the Bulk Electric System.

 R1 identifies generator operator plant personnel responsible
for Real-time control and carrying out Operating instructions are
trained on the operational functionality of Protection Systems and
Remedial Action Schemes that affect the output of generating
facility(ies) it operates

    Type of Respondents: Transmission owners and generator owners.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \1\ Our estimate below regarding the
number of respondents is based on the NERC compliance registry as of
February 5, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    It has been found occurrences of main landing gear (MLG)
trailing arm pins broken due to a fatigue mechanism induced by an
excessive torque applied during the assemblage of auxiliary door
support attachment and consequent deformation of the MLG trailing
arm axle. A broken pin can lead to loss of the MLG trailing arm
axle, disconnecting the trailing arm from the main strut, which
affects the airplane controllability on ground.
* * * * *
    We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 11, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of March 11,
2010.

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,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

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 July 30, 2009 (74 FR
37965). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    It has been found occurrences of main landing gear (MLG)
trailing arm pins broken due to a fatigue mechanism induced by an
excessive torque applied during the assemblage of auxiliary door
support attachment and consequent deformation of the MLG trailing
arm axle. A broken pin can lead to loss of the MLG trailing arm
axle, disconnecting the trailing arm from the main strut, which
affects the airplane controllability on ground.
* * * * *
    Required actions include inspecting for cracks, and, if necessary,
replacing the MLG trailing arm pin with a serviceable pin; and
modifying the MLG auxiliary door mounting support. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    EMBRAER has issued the following revisions to the service
information that was referenced in the NPRM:
     Service Bulletin 145LEG-52-0014, Revision 01, dated June
17, 2009, which adds airplane serial number 145363.
     Service Bulletin 145LEG-32-0033, Revision 01, dated June
18, 2009, which changes the visual inspection to a detailed inspection
and includes the option of using the same part number of the landing
gear trailing arm pin.
     Service Bulletin 145-32-0122, Revision 01, dated April 29,
2009, which changes the visual inspection to a detailed inspection and
includes the option of using the same part number of the landing gear
trailing arm pin.
    We have revised this final rule to cite the revised service
bulletins and to give credit for accomplishment of the actions done in
accordance with the earlier service information referred to in the
NPRM. We have also revised paragraph (f)(1)(i) and Note 1 of this AD to
clarify that the inspection type is a detailed inspection.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request for Clarification for a Terminating Action

    American Eagle Airlines (AEA) requests that we add a statement to
paragraph (f) of this AD that clarifies that the accomplishment of
paragraph (f) of this AD is a terminating action for the requirements
of this AD. AEA suggests that it is not clear that no further action is
required after inspection.
    We agree to clarify the requirements. We have added the phrase
``one-time'' before ``detailed inspection'' in paragraph (f)(1)(i) of
this AD to clarify that no repeat inspections are required after the
initial inspection.

Request for Changing Compliance Time

    AEA requests that we change the compliance in paragraph (f)(1) of
this AD from ``whichever occurs first'' to ``whichever occurs later.''
AEA explains that the actions specified in the NPRM require jacking the
airplane and compressing the landing gear, and that specific tools
required to complete these tasks may not be stocked at every
maintenance base. AEA explains that increasing the compliance time
would allow operators to arrange for having the proper tools in their
Main Base Visit program.
    While we agree that some of the tools required to perform the tasks
may not be stocked at every maintenance base, we do not agree with the
commenter's request to extend the compliance time. In developing an
appropriate compliance time for this action, we considered the urgency
associated with the subject unsafe condition, and the practical aspect
of accomplishing the required tasks within a period of time that
corresponds to the normal scheduled maintenance for most affected
operators. However, according to the provisions of paragraph (g) of the
final rule, we may approve requests to adjust the compliance time if
the request includes data that prove that the new compliance time would
provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not changed the final
rule in this regard.

Addition of an Airplane

    Based on our original review of the service information, we
determined that airplane serial number (S/N) 145363 was not affected.
Therefore, the NPRM proposed to exclude airplane S/N 145363 from the
applicability. We have now determined that airplane S/N 145363 should
be included in the applicability of this final rule, and we have
revised this final rule accordingly. This airplane is not on the U.S.
Register and is known to be in compliance with the requirements of this
AD.

Explanation of Additional Changes Made to This AD

    We have revised this AD to identify the legal name of the
manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate data
sheet for the affected airplane models.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in

general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 711 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $240 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 $284,400, or $400 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 this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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, 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.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 32: Landing
Gear.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    It has been found occurrences of main landing gear (MLG)
trailing arm pins broken due to a fatigue mechanism induced by an
excessive torque applied during the assemblage of auxiliary door
support attachment and consequent deformation of the MLG trailing
arm axle. A broken pin can lead to loss of the MLG trailing arm
axle, disconnecting the trailing arm from the main strut, which
affects the airplane controllability on ground.
* * * * *
    Required actions include inspecting for cracks, and, if
necessary, replacing the MLG trailing arm pin with a serviceable
pin; and modifying the MLG auxiliary door mounting support.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 2,500 flight hours or 24 months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first, do the actions specified in
paragraphs (f)(1)(i) and (f)(1)(ii) of this AD.
    (i) Perform a one-time detailed inspection for cracks on the MLG
trailing arm pins, in accordance with EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-
32-0122, Revision 01, dated April 29, 2009; or 145LEG-32-0033,
Revision 01, dated June 18, 2009; as applicable. If any crack is
found, before further flight, replace the MLG trailing arm pin with
a serviceable pin, in accordance with EMBRAER Service Bulletin 145-
32-0122, Revision 01, dated April 29, 2009; or 145LEG-32-0033,
Revision 01, dated June 18, 2009; as applicable.
    (ii) Prior to or concurrently with accomplishing the inspection
required by paragraph (f)(1)(i) of this AD, modify the MLG auxiliary
door mounting support, in accordance with EMBRAER Service Bulletin
145-52-0047, Revision 01, dated March 31, 2008; or 145LEG-52-0014,
Revision 01, dated June 17, 2009; as applicable.

    Note 1: For the purposes of this AD, a detailed inspection is:
``An intensive examination of a specific item, installation or
assembly to detect damage, failure or irregularity. Available
lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good
lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as
mirrors, magnifying lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface cleaning
and elaborate access procedures may be required.''

    Note 2: For the purposes of this AD, a ``serviceable'' pin is a
pin that has no cracking.

    (2) Modifications and inspections accomplished before the
effective date of this AD, according to a service bulletin listed in
Table 1 of this AD, are considered acceptable for compliance with
the corresponding action specified in this AD.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 3: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows: Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil
(ANAC) Brazilian Airworthiness Directive 2009-02-01, dated February
12, 2009, is applicable to ``all EMB-145 and EMB-135 aircraft models
in operation.'' However, this does not agree with the service
information specified in Table 2 of this AD, which specifies that
only certain Model EMB-145 and EMB-135 airplanes are affected and
identifies them by serial number. This AD is applicable only to the
airplanes listed in the applicable service bulletins. This
difference has been coordinated with the ANAC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, the reporting burden (time and
costs) is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood,
and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
OSHA to obtain such information with a minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
    The information collection requirements specified in the 4,4'-
Methylenedianiline Standard for General Industry (the ``MDA Standard'')
(29 CFR 1910.1050) protect workers from the adverse health effects that
may result from their exposure to MDA, including cancer, liver, and
skin disease. The major paperwork requirements specify that employers
must perform initial, periodic, and additional exposure monitoring;
notify each worker in writing of their results as soon as possible but
no longer than five (5) days after receiving exposure monitoring
results; and routinely inspect the hands, face, and forearms of each
worker potentially exposed to MDA for signs of dermal exposure to MDA.
Employers must also: Establish a written compliance program; institute
a respiratory protection program in accordance with OSHA's Respiratory
Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134); and to develop a written
emergency plan for any construction operation that could have an MDA
emergency (i.e., an unexpected and potentially hazardous release of
MDA).
    Employers must label any material or products containing MDA,
including containers used to store MDA-contaminated protective clothing
and equipment. They also must inform personnel who launder MDA-
contaminated clothing of the requirement to prevent release of MDA,
while personnel who launder or clean MDA-contaminated protective
clothing or equipment must receive information about the potentially
harmful effects of MDA. In addition, employers are to post warning
signs at entrances or access ways to regulated areas, as well as train
workers exposed to MDA at the time of their initial assignment, and at
least annually thereafter.
    Other paperwork provisions of the MDA standard require employers to
provide workers with medical examinations, including initial, periodic,
emergency and follow-up examinations. As part of the medical
surveillance program, employers must ensure that the examining
physician receives specific written information, and that they obtain
from the physician a written opinion regarding the worker's medical
results and exposure limitations.
    The MDA standard also specifies that employers are to establish and
maintain exposure monitoring and medical surveillance records for each
worker who is subject to these respective requirements, make any
required record available to OSHA compliance officers and the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for examination
and copying, and provide exposure monitoring and medical surveillance
records to workers and their designated representatives. Finally,
employers who cease to do business within the period specified for
retaining exposure monitoring and medical surveillance records, and who
have no successor employer, must

notify NIOSH at least 90 days before disposing of the records and
transmit the records to NIOSH if so requested.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting an adjustment decrease from 334 to 319 hours (a
decrease of 15 hours). In the previous ICR, OSHA erroneously requested
OMB approval of 334 hours rather than 317 hours. The additional 2 hours
(to 319 hours) is due to the way OSHA is now doing its calculations.
There is no change in cost under Item 13.
    The agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information collection requirements
contained in the MDA Standard.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: 4,4'-Methylenedianiline Standard for General Industry (29
CFR 1910.1050).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0184.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Not-for-profit
organizations; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 10.
    Total Responses: 574.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Various.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 319.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
