Sec.  60.40f  Specifications for active collection systems.

    For approval, a state plan must include the specifications for
active collection systems in this section.
    (a) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.  60.33f(b)
must site active collection wells, horizontal collectors, surface
collectors, or other extraction devices at a sufficient density
throughout all gas producing areas using the following procedures
unless alternative procedures have been approved by the Administrator.
    (1) The collection devices within the interior must be certified to
achieve comprehensive control of surface gas emissions by a
professional engineer. The following issues must be addressed in the
design: depths of refuse, refuse gas generation rates and flow
characteristics, cover properties, gas system expandability, leachate
and condensate management, accessibility, compatibility with filling
operations, integration with closure end use, air intrusion control,
corrosion resistance, fill settlement, resistance to the refuse
decomposition heat, and ability to isolate individual components or
sections for repair or troubleshooting without shutting down entire
collection system.
    (2) The sufficient density of gas collection devices determined in
paragraph (a)(1) of this section must address landfill gas migration
issues and augmentation of the collection system through the use of
active or passive systems at the landfill perimeter or exterior.
    (3) The placement of gas collection devices determined in paragraph
(a)(1) of this section must control all gas producing areas, except as
provided by paragraphs (a)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section.
    (i) Any segregated area of asbestos or nondegradable material may
be excluded from collection if documented as provided under Sec.
60.39f(d). The documentation must provide the nature, date of
deposition, location and amount of asbestos or nondegradable material
deposited in the area, and must be provided to the Administrator upon
request.
    (ii) Any nonproductive area of the landfill may be excluded from
control, provided that the total of all excluded areas can be shown to
contribute less than 1 percent of the total amount of NMOC emissions
from the landfill. The amount, location, and age of the material must
be documented and provided to the Administrator upon request. A
separate NMOC emissions estimate must be made for each section proposed
for exclusion, and the sum of all such sections must be compared to the
NMOC emissions estimate for the entire landfill.
    (A) The NMOC emissions from each section proposed for exclusion
must be computed using Equation 7:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29AU16.006

Where:

Qi = NMOC emission rate from the i\th\ section, megagrams
per year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year-\1\.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per
megagram solid waste.
Mi = Mass of the degradable solid waste in the i\th\
section, megagram.
ti = Age of the solid waste in the i\th\ section, years.
CNMOC = Concentration of NMOC, parts per million by
volume.
3.6x10-9 = Conversion factor.

    (B) If the owner or operator is proposing to exclude, or cease gas
collection and control from, nonproductive physically separated (e.g.,
separately lined) closed areas that already have gas collection
systems, NMOC emissions from each physically separated closed area must
be computed using either Equation 3 in Sec.  60.35f or Equation 7 in
paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(A) of this section.
    (iii) The values for k and CNMOC determined in field
testing must be used if field testing has been performed in determining
the NMOC emission rate or the radii of influence (the distance from the
well center to a point in the landfill where the pressure gradient
applied by the blower or compressor approaches zero). If field testing
has not been performed, the default values for k, Lo, and
CNMOC provided in Sec.  60.35f or the alternative values
from Sec.  60.35f must be used. The mass of nondegradable solid waste
contained within the given section may be subtracted from the total
mass of the section when estimating emissions provided the nature,
location, age, and amount of the nondegradable material is documented
as provided in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section.
    (b) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.  60.33f(b)
must construct the gas collection devices using the following equipment
or procedures:
    (1) The landfill gas extraction components must be constructed of
polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe,
fiberglass, stainless steel, or other nonporous corrosion resistant
material of suitable dimensions to: Convey projected amounts of gases;
withstand installation, static, and settlement forces; and withstand
planned overburden or traffic loads. The collection system must extend
as necessary to comply with emission and migration standards.
Collection devices such as wells and horizontal collectors must be
perforated to allow gas entry without head loss sufficient to impair
performance across the intended extent of control. Perforations must be
situated with regard to the need to prevent excessive air infiltration.
    (2) Vertical wells must be placed so as not to endanger underlying
liners and must address the occurrence of water within the landfill.
Holes and trenches constructed for piped wells and horizontal
collectors must be of sufficient cross-section so as to allow for their
proper construction and completion including, for example, centering of
pipes and placement of gravel backfill. Collection devices must be
designed so as not to allow indirect short circuiting of air into the
cover or refuse into the collection system or gas into the air. Any
gravel used around pipe perforations should be of a dimension so as not
to penetrate or block perforations.
    (3) Collection devices may be connected to the collection header
pipes below or above the landfill surface. The connector assembly must
include a positive closing throttle valve, any necessary seals and
couplings, access couplings and at least one sampling port. The
collection devices must be constructed of PVC, HDPE, fiberglass,
stainless steel, or other nonporous material of suitable thickness.
    (c) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.  60.33f(c)
must convey the landfill gas to a control system in compliance with
Sec.  60.33f(c) through the collection header pipe(s). The gas mover
equipment must be sized to handle the maximum gas generation flow rate
expected over the intended use period of the gas moving equipment using
the following procedures:
    (1) For existing collection systems, the flow data must be used to
project the maximum flow rate. If no flow data

exist, the procedures in paragraph (c)(2) of this section must be used.
    (2) For new collection systems, the maximum flow rate must be in
accordance with Sec.  60.36f(a)(1).

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

[Docket No. OSHA-2013-0012]

Modification to the List of Appropriate NRTL Program Test
Standards

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to add a new
test standard to the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL)
Program's list of appropriate test standards.

DATES: The actions contained in this notice will become effective on
July 25, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
    Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office
of Communications; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    General and technical information: Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson,
Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities,
Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER> or email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>OSHA's website includes information about the
NRTL Program (see http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These
organizations perform testing and certification for purposes of the
program, to U.S. consensus-based product-safety test standards. The
products covered by the NRTL Program consist of those items for which
OSHA safety standards require ``certification'' by a NRTL. The
requirements affect electrical products and 38 other types of products.
OSHA does not develop or issue these test standards, but generally
relies on standards development organizations (SDOs), which develop and
maintain the standards using a method that provides input and
consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users, consumers,
governmental authorities and others having broad experience in the
safety field involved.

Addition of New Test Standards to the NRTL Program List of Appropriate
Test Standards

    Periodically, OSHA will add new test standards to the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards following an evaluation of the test standard
document. To qualify as an appropriate test standard, the agency
evaluates the document to (1) verify it represents a product category
for which OSHA requires certification by a NRTL, (2) verify the
document represents an end product and not a component, and (3) verify
the document defines safety test specifications (not installation or
operational performance specifications). OSHA becomes aware of new test
standards through various avenues. For example, OSHA may become aware
of new test standards by: (1) Monitoring notifications issued by
certain SDOs; (2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or applicants seeking
recognition to include a new test standard in their scopes of
recognition; and (3) obtaining notification from manufacturers,
manufacturing organizations, government agencies, or other parties that
a new test standard may be appropriate to add to the list of
appropriate standards. OSHA may determine to include a new test
standard in the list, for example, if the test standard is for a
particular type of product that another test standard also covers,
addresses a type of product that no standard previously covered, or is
otherwise new to the NRTL Program.

Proposed Modification to the NRTL Program List of Appropriate NRTL
Program Test Standards

    In a March 14, 2019, Federal Register notice (84 FR 9384, referred
to in this notice as ``Proposed Modification,'' and available at
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID OSHA-2013-0012-0019), OSHA proposed
adding one standard to the NRTL Program List of Appropriate Test
Standards. OSHA received one comment on this proposed action (available
at www.regulations.gov under Docket IDs OSHA-2013-0012-0022). OSHA
fully considered this comment and determined that no action was
necessary.

II. Final Decision To Add a New Test Standard to the NRTL Program List
of Appropriate Test Standards

    In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to add one new
test standard, to the NRTL Program List of Appropriate Test Standards,
as described in Table 1:

 Table 1--Test Standards OSHA Decided To Add to the NRTL Program List of
                       Appropriate Test Standards
------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Test standard                     Test standard title
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANSI/CPLSO 14-2016........................  Crane Insulators.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OSHA will add this test standard to the ``Appropriate Test
Standards'' web page on OSHA's website. Access to this web page is
available at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2008-N-0312]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for Office
of Management and Budget Review; Extralabel Drug Use in Animals

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing
that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by
February 9, 2018.

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs,

OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>, or emailed to
[email protected]. All comments should be identified with the
OMB control number 0910-0325. Also include the FDA docket number found
in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ila S. Mizrachi, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A-12M, 11601
Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.

Extralabel Drug Use in Animals--21 CFR Part 530

OMB Control Number 0910-0325--Extension

    The Animal Medicinal Drug Use Clarification Act of 1994 (Pub. L.
103-396) allows a veterinarian to prescribe the extralabel use of
approved new animal drugs. Also, it permits FDA, if it finds that there
is a reasonable probability that the extralabel use of an animal drug
may present a risk to the public health, to establish a safe level for
a residue from the extralabel use of the drug, and to require the
development of an analytical method for the detection of residues above
that established safe level (21 CFR 530.22(b)). Although, to date, we
have not established a safe level for a residue from the extralabel use
of any new animal drug and, therefore, have not required the
development of analytical methodology, we believe that there may be
instances when analytical methodology will be required. We are,
therefore, estimating the reporting burden based on two methods being
required annually. The requirement to establish an analytical method
may be fulfilled by any interested person. We believe that the sponsor
of the drug will be willing to develop the method in most cases.
Alternatively, FDA, the sponsor, and perhaps a third party may
cooperatively arrange for method development. The respondents may be
sponsors of new animal drugs, State, or Federal and/or State Agencies,
academia, or individuals.
    In the Federal Register of June 26, 2017 (82 FR 28858), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Guidance for Industry on Dear Health Care Provider Letters:
Improving Communication of Important Safety Information

OMB Control Number 0910-0754--Extension

    This information collection supports recommendations found in the
Agency guidance document entitled, ``Dear Health Care Provider Letters:
Improving Communication of Important Safety Information.'' The guidance
provides instruction to industry and FDA staff on the content and
format of DHCP letters. These letters are sent by manufacturers or
distributors to health care providers to communicate an important drug
warning, a change in prescribing information, or a correction of
misinformation in prescription drug promotional labeling or
advertising.
    This guidance gives specific instruction on what should and should
not be included in DHCP letters. Some DHCP letters have been too long,
have contained promotional material, or otherwise have not met the
goals set forth in the applicable regulation (21 CFR 200.5). In some
cases, health care providers have not been aware of important new
information, and have been unable to communicate it to patients,
because the letters' content and length have made it difficult to find
the relevant information. In addition, letters have sometimes been sent
for the wrong reasons.
    In addition to content and format recommendations for each type of
DHCP letter, the guidance also includes recommendations on consulting
with FDA on how to develop a DHCP letter, when to send a letter, what
type of letter to send, and how to assess the letter's impact. Based on
a review of FDA's Document Archiving, Reporting, and Regulatory
Tracking System for 2016-2018, we identified 38 DHCP letters that were
sent out by 24 distinct sponsors during the 3-year timeframe. We
estimate that we will receive approximately 13 DHCP letters annually
from approximately 8 application holders. FDA professionals familiar
with DHCP letters and with the recommendations in the guidance estimate
that it should take an application holder approximately 100 hours to
prepare and send DHCP letters in accordance with the guidance.
    We estimate the annual reporting burden of this collection of
information as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    Based on a review of the information collection, we have reduced
our burden estimate by 17 respondents with a corresponding decrease in
annual hours by 1,200. We attribute the decrease to the effectiveness
of the guidance.
