Adequacy Status of Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for Four Areas
in Michigan for Transportation Conformity Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

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

SUMMARY: In this action, EPA is notifying the public that EPA has found
that the motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for four areas across
the state of Michigan are adequate for conformity purposes. On March 2,
1999, the D.C. Circuit Court ruled that submitted State Implementation
Plans (SIPs) cannot be used for conformity determinations until EPA has
affirmatively found them adequate. As a result of our finding, the
Flint (consisting of Genesee and Lapeer Counties), Muskegon County,
Berrien County, and Cass County areas can use the (MVEBs) for future
conformity determinations. These budgets are effective February 7,
2007. The finding and the response to comments will be available at
EPA's conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/transp.htm, (once

there, click on the ``Conformity'' button, then look for ``Adequacy
Review of SIP Submissions for Conformity'').

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, whenever ``we'',
``us'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

Background

    Today's action is simply an announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA Region 5 sent a letter to the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality on November 29, 2006, stating that the 2018
(MVEBs) in the Flint, Muskegon County, Berrien County, and Cass County
areas are adequate. Michigan submitted the budgets as part of the 8-
hour ozone redesignation requests and maintenance plans for these
areas. This finding was announced on EPA's conformity Web site, and
received no comments: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm
, (once there, click on ``What SIP submissions are

currently under EPA adequacy review?'').
    The 2018 (MVEBs), in tons per day, for volatile organic compounds
and oxides of nitrogen for these areas are as follows:

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

    Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the
Clean Air Act. EPA's conformity rule requires that transportation
plans, programs, and projects conform to state air quality
implementation plans and establishes the criteria and procedures for
determining whether or not they do. Conformity to a SIP means that
transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national
ambient air quality standards.
    The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP's motor vehicle
emission budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in
40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). Please note that an adequacy review is separate
from EPA's completeness review, and it also should not be used to
prejudge EPA's ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if we find a budget
adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved.
    We've described our process for determining the adequacy of
submitted SIP budgets in guidance (May 14, 1999 memo titled
``Conformity Guidance on Implementation of March 2, 1999 Conformity
Court Decision''). We followed this guidance in making our adequacy
determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On October 29, 2012 (77 FR 65518), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Delaware. The NPR proposed
approval of revisions to Delaware's Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) program pertaining to the regulation of GHGs. The
formal SIP revision was submitted by Delaware on October 12, 2011 and
supplemented on August 9, 2012.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    This revision pertains to EPA's PSD permitting provisions relating
to GHGs as promulgated on June 3, 2010 in the Tailoring Rule (75 FR
31514). The SIP revision modifies Delaware's PSD program at 7 DE Admin.
Code 1125 to establish appropriate emission thresholds for determining
which new stationary sources and modifications become subject to
Delaware's PSD permitting requirements for their GHG emissions. Other
specific requirements of this SIP revision and the rationale for EPA's
proposed action are explained in the NPR and will not be restated here.
No public comments were received on the NPR.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving Delaware's October 12, 2011 and August 9, 2012
submissions as a revision to the Delaware SIP.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by April 29, 2013. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action pertaining to Delaware's GHG regulations may not be
challenged later

in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its 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 accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
    This program ensures that information is in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments
are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act
of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information
collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of
the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and
prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657).
    Subpart I specifies several paperwork requirements. The following
describes the information collection requirements in subpart I and
addresses who will use the information.

Hazard Assessment and Verification (Sec.  1910.132(d))

    Paragraph (d)(1) requires employers to perform a hazard assessment
of the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or likely to be
present, that make the use of PPE necessary. Where such hazards are
present, employers must communicate PPE selection decisions to each
affected employee (paragraph (d)(1)(ii)).
    Paragraph (d)(2) requires employers to certify in writing that they
have performed the hazard assessment. The certification must include
the date and the person certifying that the hazard assessment was
conducted, and the identification of the workplace evaluated (area or
location).
    The hazard assessment assures that potential workplace hazards
necessitating PPE use have been identified and that the PPE selected is
appropriate for those hazards and the affected employees. The required
certification of the hazard assessment verifies that the required
hazard assessment was conducted.
    The standards on PPE protection for the eyes and face (29 CFR
1910.133), head (29 CFR 1910.135), feet (29 CFR 1910.136), and hands
(29 CFR 1910.138) do not contain any separate information collection
requirements.

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 that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) Standard for General Industry (29 CFR part 1910, subpart I). OSHA
is proposing to decrease the burden hours in the currently approved
information collection request from 1,696,991 hours to 1,366,521 hours,
a difference of 330,470 hours. The Agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in
the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry (29
CFR part 1910, subpart I).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0205.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Federal Government;
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 3,500,000.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from one hour to generate and
maintain records to 29 hours to perform a hazard assessment.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,366,521.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

copies of all documents may be mailed to the Secretary at the address
above.
    k. Description of material: Marquette Board of Light and Power has
filed an Environmental Report in support of its plan to repair the
Tourist Park Dam at the Tourist Park Development, part of the Marquette
Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2589). The project consists of two
separate developments: Forestville and Tourist Park. The proposed work
at the Tourist Park Dam would take place within the Tourist Park
Development which is the most downstream of the two developments on the
Dead River. The Tourist Park Reservoir is operated in a non-peaking
mode to re-regulate flows released from the upstream Forestville
Development. In May of 2003, the Silver Lake Storage Reservoir, part of
the upstream Dead River Project (FERC No. 10855), experienced a breach
which resulted in the release of large quantities of water. The
resultant high flows reached the Tourist Park Dam, crested the natural
right abutment of the dam, and caused the wash out of the dam abutment
which resulted in the release of the Tourist Park Reservoir. Since the
time of the breach the development has not been operational. In order
to restore the Tourist Park Reservoir and return the development to
operational conditions as licensed, the licensee plans to repair the
dam by constructing an un-gated concrete ogee spillway within the
breach channel. In addition, the licensee plans to construct right and
left retaining walls and a new embankment with the existing and new
core walls. During construction activities, some recreational use of
the development may be limited due to traffic and public safety
concerns. Following repair of the dam, the licensee plans to refill the
Tourist Park Reservoir and operate the development as licensed.
    The Commission intends to prepare an environmental document under
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the planned Tourist
Park Dam repair. The NEPA document will be used by the Commission to
identify environmental impacts and to identify measures that would help
mitigate the impacts caused by the activities associated with the dam
repair.
    l. Locations of the Filing: A copy of the filing is available for
inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room,
located at 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426. This
filing may also be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 25, 2011, (76 FR 53086), PHMSA
published an ANPRM seeking comments on the need for changes to the
regulations covering gas transmission pipelines. Within this ANPRM,
PHMSA is seeking public comment on 15 specific topic areas in two broad
categories (integrity management (IM) and Non-IM requirements). In
particular, PHMSA is interested in knowing whether IM requirements
should be changed, more prescriptive language added in some areas, and
non-IM requirements strengthened or expanded. Among the specific issues
PHMSA is considering concerning IM requirements is whether the
definition of a high-consequence area should be revised, and whether
additional restrictions should be placed on the use of specific
pipeline assessment methods. With respect to non-IM requirements, PHMSA
is considering whether revised requirements are needed on new
construction or existing pipelines concerning mainline valves, whether
requirements for corrosion control of steel pipelines should be
strengthened, and whether new regulations are needed to govern the
safety of gathering lines and underground gas storage facilities.
    On September 9, 2011, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of
America (INGAA) and the American Gas Association (AGA) requested that
PHMSA extend the comment period of the ANPRM by 90 days. INGAA and AGA
supported their request stating that the ANPRM poses a large number of
multi-part questions that cover 15 separate topic areas. They stated
that to thoughtfully and thoroughly address the issues, significant
effort on the part of all stakeholders is required, and may include
industry-wide surveys. They stated that questions regarding cost
implications and various other impacts will entail an integrated effort
within the industry to provide a quality, validated, and vetted answer.
Also, they stated that timing supports their request because they are
currently in the initial phases of implementing the Control Room
Management regulations, and completing and verifying their 2011
projects and conducting maintenance, budget and planning activities
that will directly impact their pipeline safety compliance efforts this
year and next. In addition, they stated that PHMSA granted an extension
of time allowing parties four months to comment on the hazardous liquid
ANPRM and, therefore, a 90-day extension of the comment period is
further justified by the depth and scope of the issues addressed in the
natural gas ANPRM.
    Through this ANPRM, PHMSA has raised several important and complex
public safety issues, many of which, if implemented, could impose
significant cost on the pipeline industry. PHMSA needs very thorough
responses to the questions we have posed in the ANPRM in order to
facilitate PHMSA's decision making on these very important and complex
issues. Based on the reasons given by INGAA and AGA in their request to
extend the comment period, and PHMSA's need to have the best data
possible to facilitate its decisions relative to these issues, PHMSA
believes that extension of the comment period is warranted. Therefore,
PHMSA has extended the comment period from December 2, 2011, to January
20, 2012.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on November 3, 2011.

Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-363, OMB Control No. 3235-0413]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 17Ad-16

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (`PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
existing collection of information provided for in Rule 17Ad-16 (17 CFR
240.17Ad-16) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.).
    Rule 17Ad-16 requires a registered transfer agent to provide
written notice to the appropriate qualified registered securities
depository when assuming or terminating transfer agent services on
behalf of an issuer or when changing its name or address. In addition,
transfer agents that provide such notice shall maintain such notice for
a period of at least two years in an easily accessible place. This rule
addresses the problem of certificate transfer delays caused by transfer
requests that are directed to the wrong transfer agent or the wrong
address.
    We estimate that the transfer agent industry submits approximately
11,006 Rule 17Ad-16 notices per year to appropriate qualified
registered securities depositories. The staff estimates that the
average amount of time necessary to create and submit each notice is
approximately 15 minutes per notice. Accordingly, the estimated total
industry burden is 2,752 hours per year (15 minutes multiplied by
11,006 filed annually rounded up from 2,751.5 to 2,752).
    Because the information needed by transfer agents to properly
notify the appropriate registered securities depository is readily
available to them and the report is simple and straightforward, the
cost is relatively minimal. The average internal compliance cost to
prepare and send a notice is approximately $70.75 (15 minutes at $283
per hour).\1\ This yields an industry-wide internal compliance cost
estimate of $778,675 (11,006 notices multiplied by $70.75 per notice
rounded up from $778,674.5 to $778,675).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The estimated hourly wages used in this analysis were
derived from reports prepared by the Securities Industry and
Financial Markets Association. See Securities Industry and Financial
Markets Association, Office Salaries in the Securities Industry--
2013 (2013), modified to account for an 1800-hour work year and
multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee
benefits and overhead.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Comments should
be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building,
Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Charles Riddle,
    Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange
Commission, c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549,
or by sending an email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be
submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: May 2, 2019.
