SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry; pesticide
users; and members of the public interested in the sale, distribution,
or use of pesticides. Since others also may be interested, the Agency
has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action.

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.

II. What action is the agency taking?

    This notice announces receipt by EPA of requests from registrants
to cancel certain pesticide products and amend product registrations to
terminate certain uses registered under FIFRA section 3 (7 U.S.C. 136a)
or 24(c) (7 U.S.C. 136v(c)). The affected products and the registrants
making the requests are identified in Tables 1-3 of this unit.
    Unless a request is withdrawn by the registrant or if the Agency
determines that there are substantive comments that warrant further
review of this request, EPA intends to issue an order in the Federal
Register canceling and amending the affected registrations.

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

III. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)) provides that a
registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of
its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or
more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request,
EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal
Register.
    Section 6(f)(1)(B) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136d(f)(1)(B)) requires that
before acting on a request for voluntary cancellation, EPA must provide
a 30-day public comment period on the request for voluntary
cancellation or use

termination. In addition, FIFRA section 6(f)(1)(C) (7 U.S.C.
136d(f)(1)(C)) requires that EPA provide a 180-day comment period on a
request for voluntary cancellation or termination of any minor
agricultural use before granting the request, unless:
    1. The registrants request a waiver of the comment period, or
    2. The EPA Administrator determines that continued use of the
pesticide would pose an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
    The registrants listed in Table 3 of Unit II have requested that
EPA waive the 180-day comment period. Accordingly, EPA will provide a
30-day comment period on the proposed requests.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Requests

    Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for product
cancellation or use termination should submit the withdrawal in writing
to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If the
products have been subject to a previous cancellation or termination
action, the effective date of cancellation or termination and all other
provisions of any earlier cancellation or termination action are
controlling.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

    Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
action. If the requests for voluntary cancellation and amendments to
terminate uses are granted, the Agency intends to publish the
cancellation order in the Federal Register.
    In any order issued in response to these requests for cancellation
of product registrations and for amendments to terminate uses, EPA
proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any
existing stocks of the products listed in Tables 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and
1E, of Unit II.

A. For Products: 40810-18, 40810-19, 40810-23, 40810-24, 40810-25,
40810-26, 40810-27 and 55852-4

    The registrants have requested to the Agency via letter to sell
existing stocks for an 18-month period, for products 40810-18, 40810-
19, 40810-23, 40810-24, 40810-25, 40810-26, 40810-27 and 55852-4.
    For all other voluntary product cancellations, identified in Tables
1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E of Unit II, registrants will be permitted to
sell and distribute existing stocks of voluntarily canceled products
for 1 year after the effective date of the cancellation, which will be
the date of publication of the cancellation order in the Federal
Register.
    Thereafter, registrants will be prohibited from selling or
distributing the products identified in Tables 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D and 1E
of Unit II, except for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 (7
U.S.C. 136o) or for proper disposal.
    Once EPA has approved product labels reflecting the requested
amendments to terminate uses, identified in Table 2 of Unit II,
registrants will be permitted to sell or distribute products under the
previously approved labeling for a period of 18 months after the date
of Federal Register publication of the cancellation order, unless other
restrictions have been imposed. Thereafter, registrants will be
prohibited from selling or distributing the products whose labels
include the terminated uses identified in Table 2 of Unit II, except
for export consistent with FIFRA section 17 or for proper disposal.
    Persons other than the registrant may sell, distribute, or use
existing stocks of canceled products and products whose labels include
the terminated uses until supplies are exhausted, provided that such
sale, distribution, or use is consistent with the terms of the
previously approved labeling on, or that accompanied, the canceled
products and terminated uses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing
date for comments. We may change these special conditions based on the
comments we receive.

Background

    On December 10, 2009, Bombardier Inc. applied for a type
certificate for their new Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series
airplanes (hereafter collectively referred to as ``C-series''). The C-
series airplanes are swept-wing monoplanes with a pressurized cabin.
They share an identical supplier base and significant common design
elements. The fuselage is aluminum alloy material, blended double-
bubble fuselage, sized for nominal 5-abreast seating. Each airplane's
powerplant consists of two under wing Pratt and Whitney PW1524G ultra-
high bypass, geared turbofan engines. Flight controls are fly-by-wire
flight with two passive/uncoupled side sticks. Avionics includes five
landscape primary cockpit displays. The dimension of the airplanes
encompass a wingspan of 115 feet; a height of 37.75 feet; and a length
of 114.75 feet for the Model BD-500-1A10 and a length of 127 feet for
the Model BD-500-1A11. Passenger capacity is designated as 110 for the
Model BD-500-1A10 and 125 for the Model BD-500-1A11. Maximum takeoff
weight is 131,000 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A10 and 144,000 pounds
for the Model BD-500-1A11. Maximum takeoff thrust is 21,000 pounds for
the Model BD-500-1A10 and 23,300 pounds for the Model BD-500-1A11.
Range is 3,394 miles (5,463 kilometers) for both models of airplanes.
Maximum operating altitude is 41,000 feet for both model airplanes.
    The design of the electronic flight control system for the C-series
airplanes incorporates normal load factor limiting on a full time basis
that prevents the flightcrew from inadvertently or intentionally
exceeding the positive or negative airplane limit load factor. This
feature is considered novel and unusual in that the current regulations
do not provide standards for maneuverability and controllability
evaluations for such systems.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.17, Bombardier Inc. must show that the C-series airplanes meet
the applicable provisions of part 25 as amended by Amendments 25-1
through 25-129 thereto.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the C-series airplanes because of a
novel or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed
under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also
apply to the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the C-series airplanes must comply with the fuel vent and
exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36, and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The C-series airplanes will use a fly-by-wire electronic flight
control system (EFCS). This system provides an electronic interface
between the pilot's flight controls and the flight control surfaces for
both normal and failure states; and it generates the actual surface
commands that provide for stability augmentation and control about all
three airplane axes. The design of the EFCS incorporates the following
novel or unusual design feature: Normal load factor limiting on a full-
time basis that will prevent the flight crew from inadvertently or
intentionally exceeding the positive or negative airplane limit load
factor. This feature is considered novel or unusual because the current
regulations do not provide standards for maneuverability and
controllability evaluations for such systems. Therefore, special
conditions are needed to ensure adequate maneuverability and
controllability when using this design feature.

Discussion

    Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 25 sections do
not specify requirements or policy for demonstrating maneuver control
that impose any handling qualities requirements beyond the design limit
structural loads. Nevertheless, some pilots have become accustomed to
the availability of this excess maneuver capacity in case of extreme
emergency such as upset recoveries or collision avoidance.
    As with previous fly-by-wire airplanes, the FAA has no regulatory
or safety reason to prohibit a design for an electronic flight control
system with load factor limiting. It is possible that pilots accustomed
to this feature feel more freedom in commanding full-stick displacement
maneuvers because of the following:
     Knowledge that the limit system will protect the
structure,
     Low stick force/displacement gradients,
     Smooth transition from pilot elevator control to limit
control.
    These special conditions will ensure adequate maneuverability and
controllability when using this design feature.
    The normal load factor limit on the C-series airplanes is unique in
that traditional airplanes with conventional flight control systems
(mechanical linkages) are limited in the pitch axis only by the
elevator surface area and deflection limit. The elevator control power
is normally derived for adequate controllability and maneuverability at
the most critical longitudinal pitching moment. The result is that
traditional airplanes have a significant portion of the flight envelope
wherein maneuverability in excess of limit structural design values is
possible.
    These proposed special conditions for the C-series airplanes
supplement the applicable regulations, including Sec.  25.143, to
accommodate the unique features of the flight envelope limiting
systems, and establish an equivalent level of safety to the existing
regulations.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Models

BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series airplanes. Should Bombardier Inc.
apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to include
another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature,
the special conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on two model series of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Proposed Special Conditions

    Accordingly, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes the
following special conditions as part of the type certification basis
for the Bombardier Inc. Models BD-500-1A10 and BD-500-1A11 series
airplanes.
    1. Flight Envelope Protection: Normal Load Factor (g) Limiting. To
meet the intent of adequate maneuverability and controllability
required by Sec.  25.143(a), and in addition to the requirements of
Sec.  25.143(a) and in the absence of other limiting factors, the
following special conditions based on Sec.  25.333(b) apply:
    a. The positive limiting load factor must not be less than:
    (1) 2.5g for the normal state of the electronic flight control
system with the high lift devices retracted.
    (2) 2.0g for the normal state of the electronic flight control
system with the high lift devices extended.
    b. The negative limiting load factor must be equal to or more
negative than:
    (1) Minus 1.0g for the normal state of the electronic flight
control system with the high lift devices retracted.
    (2) 0.0g for the normal state of the electronic flight control
system with high lift devices extended.
    c. Maximum reachable positive load factor wings level may be
limited by the characteristics of the electronic flight control system
or flight envelope protections (other than load factor protection)
provided that:
    (1) The required values are readily achievable in turns, and
    (2) That wings level pitch up is satisfactory.
    d. Maximum achievable negative load factor may be limited by the
characteristics of the electronic flight control system or flight
envelope protections (other than load factor protection) provided that:
    (1) Pitch down responsiveness is satisfactory, and
    (2) From level flight, 0g is readily achievable or alternatively, a
satisfactory trajectory change is readily achievable at operational
speeds. For the FAA to consider a trajectory change as satisfactory,
the applicant should propose and justify a pitch rate that provides
sufficient maneuvering capability in the most critical scenarios.
    e. Compliance demonstration with the above requirements may be
performed without ice accretion on the airframe.
    These proposed special conditions do not impose an upper bound for
the normal load factor limit, nor does it require that the limit exist.
If the limit is set at a value beyond the structural design limit
maneuvering load factor ``n'' of Sec. Sec.  25.333(b) and 25.337(b) and
(c), there should be a very obvious positive tactile feel built into
the controller so that it serves as a deterrent to inadvertently
exceeding the structural limit.

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 corrects the effective date of the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth at Boulder
City, NV.

History

    The FAA noted the effective date for the Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface of the earth at Boulder
City, NV, FAA-2018-0816, was in error. The final rule published on July
17, 2019 (84 FR 34055) and listed the effective date as August 15, 2019
instead of October 10, 2019. The airspace information was issued on
July 3, 2019, three weeks after the required submission cutoff date of
June 18, 2019. A July 3, 2019 issue date did not allow sufficient time
to publish the airspace information in the VFR Sectionals and Chart
Supplement for the August 15, 2019 cycle. This action delays the
effective date to October 10, 2019 and allows for publication of the
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet in the VFR Sectional
and Chart Supplement before it becomes effective.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The E airspace
listed the final rule published on July 17, 2019 (84 FR 34055) will
become effective on October 10, 2019 and be published subsequently in
the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11C dated August 13, 2018, and
effective September 15, 2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 71.1. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by correcting the effective date of the airspace change.
    This is an administrative change and does not affect the
boundaries, altitudes, or operating requirements of the airspace,
therefore, notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is
unnecessary.

    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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does 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 5-6.5a. 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.

PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT

1.	Identification of the Information Collection
a.	Title of the Information Collection
	Effluent Limitations Guidelines and New Source Performance Standards for the Airport Deicing Category (40 CFR Part 449).  EPA ICR No. 2326.03.

b.	Short Characterization/Abstract
      This Information Collection Request (ICR) seeks approval of the information requirements in the Final Rule for the Effluent Guidelines and Standards for the Airport Deicing Category.  EPA promulgated wastewater regulations (effluent guidelines and standards or ELGs) for airports that conduct deicing operations in 2012.  Aircraft are deiced by the spraying of chemicals called aircraft deicing fluids (ADF), which contain water pollutants.  Airports also apply airfield pavement deicing chemicals to runways, taxiways and ramps which similarly contain water pollutants.

	The rule requires airports to certify that they are not using deicers containing urea for airfield pavement deicing operations.  EPA and the states will use this information to determine permittee compliance with the regulations and administer enforcement actions if needed.

2.	Need for and Use of the Collection
a.	Need/Authority for the Collection
	EPA promulgated the ELG pursuant to sections 301, 304, 306, 308, 402, 501 and 510 of the Clean Water Act, as amended; 33 U.S.C. 1311, 1314, 1316, 1318, 1342, 1361 and 1370.  Airports are required by existing regulations (40 CFR Parts 122-125) to obtain wastewater discharge permits (NPDES program) and conduct periodic monitoring of effluent.  CWA sec. 308 provides EPA and the states with explicit authority to require that permittees demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

b.	Practical Utility/Users of the Data
	The users of the data include both the airports and their permitting authorities. The rule requires airports to certify annually that no urea is used for deicing of airfield pavement (i.e. runways, taxiways, aprons and ramps).  A compliance alternative allows airports to meet an effluent limitation for ammonia, and the airport would demonstrate compliance by monitoring the effluent.

3.	Non-Duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
a.	Non-Duplication
      The rule does not duplicate other information requirements.  In developing the rule, EPA reviewed existing NPDES permits held by airports. Permittees did not previously provide data to permit authorities on the usage of deicing chemicals.  There are no public sources available from which a permitting authority would be able to obtain this information; the information must be submitted directly from the permittee with a signed certification, for enforcement purposes.

b.	Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
	A notice of renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register on December 30, 2014 (79 FR 78428). Only one comment was received, and it did not address the information collection or burden.

c.	Consultations
      EPA met with industry stakeholders and attended airport deicing conferences during the development of the rule.  Participants included members of the Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA), American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) and Air Transport Association (ATA).  Stakeholders offered recommendations on the design of airport and airline industry questionnaires (OMB No. 2040-0267) that were used to develop data for the proposed rulemaking, and discussed EPA's research findings, and related regulatory issues.  EPA also consulted with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  Some stakeholders, as well as the general public, submitted comments on the 2009 proposed rule.

d.	Effects of Less Frequent Collection
      Airport permittees provide the certification of no use of urea to the permitting authority annually.  Data submission less frequent than annually would prevent the permitting authorities from carrying out their duties to enforce the permit requirements.

e.	General Guidelines
	The information collection requirements of the rule are in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2).

f.	Confidentiality
	Applications for an NPDES permit may contain confidential business information. However, EPA does not consider the specific information being requested by the rule to be typical of confidential business or personal information. If a respondent does consider this information to be of a confidential nature, the respondent may request that such information be treated as such. All confidential data will be handled in accordance with 40 CFR 122.7, 40 CFR Part 2, and EPA's Security Manual Part III, Chapter 9, dated August 9, 1976.

g.	Sensitive Questions
      The rule does not require respondents to divulge information of a sensitive nature, such as private or personal information.

4.	The Respondents and the Information Requested
a.	Respondent NAICS Codes
      The respondents affected by this information collection request are commercial airports.  The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) identification number applicable to airport respondents is: 488119: Other Airport Operations.  The U.S. Census Bureau describes this U.S. industry as establishments primarily engaged in (1) operating international, national, or civil airports, or public flying fields or (2) supporting airport operations, such as runway maintenance services, hangar rental, and/or cargo handling services.

b.	Information Requested
i.	Data Items, Including Record Keeping Requirements
	The rule requires airports to certify that airfield pavement deicers containing urea are not used.  The compliance alternative establishes effluent limitations for discharges resulting from the deicing of airfield pavement and requires an airport to provide monitoring data for ammonia.  The airport would collect samples at each outfall discharging airfield deicing stormwater and provide the analytical results of the samples.

ii.	Respondent Activities
	For airfield pavement deicing, the airports would prepare a certification letter certifying non-use of urea-based deicers. EPA estimates that preparation of the certification letter would take 1 hour per airport. For the compliance alternative, airports that use urea-based deicers would monitor their effluent and provide monitoring reports once a year.  These airports would collect one sample a day at each deicing outfall impacted for five days a week during the deicing season (26 weeks).  EPA estimates that up to 37 airports that reported use of urea could be required to monitor ammonia on an annual basis.

5.	The Information Collected  -  Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management
a.	Agency Activities
      Every airport is currently covered by either EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP), an equivalent state general permit, or an individual permit, and the NPDES permitting authorities already receive, process, and review permit applications and Notices of Intent (NOIs).  Permitting authorities will also process and review certifications of non-use of urea-based deicers, and monitoring data as applicable for airports selecting the compliance alternative.

b.	Collection Methodology and Management
      Permittees will submit their certifications (or effluent monitoring data, as applicable) in a manner specified by the permitting authority.  The permitting authority will review the information as part of the compliance review, and retain the information in the official permit file.

c.	Small Entity Flexibility
	The rule affects only a small number of "small" airports. (See section XI.C, Regulatory Flexibility Act, in the preamble of the final rule.) The reporting requirements discussed in this document are intended to give flexibility to airports that must comply with the regulations.

d.	Collection Schedule
	The rule requires annual certification of non-use of airfield pavement deicers containing urea. The frequency of monitoring requirements for ammonia, for airports choosing the urea compliance alternative, would be once a year or as directed by the permitting authority.

6.	Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection
a.	Estimating Respondent Burden
	Airports will prepare a certification letter certifying non-use of urea-based deicers for airfield pavement deicing.  EPA estimates it will take an average of 1 hour to prepare a certification letter, and the total respondent hours to prepare the letters is 198 hours.

      Airports that elect to use the compliance alternative for airfield pavement are required to monitor their discharges and comply with an ammonia limit.  EPA anticipates that airports will discontinue urea use and prepare certification letters, as opposed to continuing use of urea-based deicers, because the capture and treatment of airfield runoff is prohibitively expensive, much more so than not using urea.  However, EPA has prepared a burden estimate for the compliance alternative, as it is included in the rule.

      EPA estimates that 37 airports currently use urea-based deicers.  If these airports would collect one sample per day at each affected airfield outfall for five days for 26 weeks during the deicing season, EPA estimates it would take an average of 1,212 hours per airport to monitor for ammonia.  EPA estimates the maximum total respondent burden to monitor ammonia would be 44,844 hours.  For the compliance alternative, EPA estimates the total potential respondent burden to monitor ammonia and prepare certification letters would be 45,005 hours.  Table A.6-1 presents the average hour burden for airports to monitor ammonia or prepare certification letters and the total respondent burden to demonstrate compliance with the ammonia effluent limitations.

      New ELGs are typically implemented in permits as they are issued or re-issued. The majority of facilities affected by the rule have not had permits re-issued since the effective date of the rule. Therefore, data are not yet available to confirm or refute EPA's expected preference of facility operators for certification rather than the compliance alternative; EPA continues to anticipate that airports will choose to prepare certification letters. The Agency estimates that the Total Minimum Response Burden of 198 hours is the most representative.

a  -  Labor rate of $33/hours based on average labor costs from EPA's airport questionnaire database.  Sample analysis costs estimated by EPA, for ammonia sample analysis by contract laboratory.

b.	Estimating Respondent Costs
i.	Estimating Labor Costs
      EPA estimated respondent labor costs for the specific activities related to the reporting and monitoring requirements of the rule.  Costs for the collection of data by airport personnel are based on average labor costs from EPA's airport questionnaire database and the average labor rate is $33/hour.  EPA used the estimated hours required to respond to the requirements of the rule and multiplied these costs by this labor rate.  Table A.6-1 presents the total respondent costs to meet the reporting and monitoring requirements related to this rule.

ii.	Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
      Because EPA is not requiring respondents to purchase any nonexpendable goods, including equipment or machinery, to perform compliance demonstration reporting, the Agency does not expect capital costs to result from the administration of these reporting requirements.  Operation and maintenance costs include only photocopying and postage for the completed permit application.  These are costs that a facility would experience without the promulgation of this regulation.  All airports are subject to existing NPDES permits.

iii.	Capital/Start-up Operating and Maintenance Costs
      There are no capital or start-up costs associated with compliance demonstration reporting, as described above.

iv.	Annualizing Capital Costs
      There are no capital costs associated with compliance demonstration reporting, as described above.

c.	Estimating Agency Burden and Costs
      The costs to permitting authorities (EPA or state agencies) for review of the annual certification on pavement deicers is negligible.

d.	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden Costs
      The estimated respondent universe for compliance reporting under the rule is 198 airports. Airports must certify no use of urea for airfield pavement deicing.  The annual burden and costs are presented in Table A.6-1.  Table A.6-2 below presents a summary of the total estimated activity burden for airport respondents.

ii.	Variations in the Annual Bottom Line
	Respondent burden may vary as shown in Table A.6-1 if an airport decides to switch from product substitution and certification, to effluent monitoring.

f.	Reasons for Change in Burden
      There is no expected change in burden.

g.	Burden Statement
      	The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response.  Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency.  This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.  An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.  The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Meeting Summaries

On May 8, 2023, representatives from EPA met with Henkel to discuss their CBI submission regarding their use of PPE. EPA asked clarifying questions regarding the submission and asked Henkel to submit a non-CBI version of the information. Henkel inquired about the timing of the pending PIP (3:1) rule. EPA confirmed that we are aiming for a final rule in the fall of 2024, and that there will be a public comment period following the proposed rule. Henkel submitted a sanitized version of the process and worker protection measures for the use of PIP (3:1) and PIP (3:1)-containing products for use as an intermediate in a closed system to produce cyanoacrylate adhesives to EPA, which is included as an attachment.
