1 PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT 1. Identification of the Information Collection ( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection " Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Surface Coating Operations." This is a new information collection request ( ICR),

and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) tracking number for this ICR is 2056.01.

( b) Short Characterization This ICR is prepared for a U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) proposed rulemaking being developed under authority of Section 112 of the Clean Air Act ( Act). The proposed rulemaking would amend title 40, chapter I, part 63 of the Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR) by adding a new subpart MMMM

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source Category: Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Surface Coating Operations. The Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Surface Coating Operations NESHAP includes standards for major sources of hazardous air pollutants ( HAP).

( i) Applicability: Respondents are owners and operators of 2 new and existing facilities that engage in the surface coating of miscellaneous metal parts and products and emit hazardous air pollutants ( HAP's). Fifteen hundred existing facilities are expected to meet the applicability criteria defined in the proposed rule. Forty five new facilities are expected to be constructed in each of the next 5 years.

( ii) Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Surface Coating Operations: Owners or operators of facilities engaged in the surface coating of miscellaneous metal parts and products to which this regulation is applicable must choose one of the compliance options described in the proposed rule, which may include 1) using compliant materials, 2) averaging materials, 3)

installing and monitoring a specific control system that reduces HAP emissions to the compliance level, or 4) a combination of these options. The respondents would be subject to those sections of subpart A of 40 CFR part 63 that relate to NESHAP.

These requirements include those associated with the notification of compliance status for the first monthly compliance period, and semiannually thereafter.

( iii) Record Retention: Owners or operators of facilities that are engaged in the surface coating of miscellaneous metal parts and products must maintain a copy of all specified records for a minimum of five years. Each record must be kept onsite for at least the first two years after the date of each occurrence, 3 measurement, maintenance, corrective action, report, or record.

The records can be kept offsite for the remaining three years.

All records are to be submitted upon request to EPA or the respondent's State or local agency, whichever has been delegated enforcement authority by EPA. The information is used to determine whether or not facilities subject to the NESHAP are achieving the standards.

( iv) Reports: The proposed rule relies in part on the provisions of subpart A of 40 CFR part 63. A table included in the proposed rule designates certain sections of subpart A that apply to the proposed rule. Specific recordkeeping and reporting requirements for each type of emission compliance option are also included in the proposed rule.

The following reports must be submitted to the Administrator as appropriate: ( 1) Initial notification, ( 2) Notification of Compliance Status Report, ( 3) Semiannual Compliance Reports, and ( 4) Other Reports as requested by the Administrator. The requirements for each of the four reports are summarized in the proposed rule.

2. Need For and Use of the Collection The EPA is required under section 112( d) of the Clean Air Act ( the Act) to regulate emissions of HAP's listed in section 112( b). The predominant HAP's emitted from miscellaneous metal parts and products surface coating operations include 4 xylenes, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, phenol, and cresols/ cresylic acid.

In the Administrator's judgement, the pollutants emitted from miscellaneous metal parts and products surface coating operations cause or contribute significantly to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health.

Therefore, this source category was listed for regulation under section 112.

Certain records and reports are necessary to enable the Administrator to identify facilities subject to the standard and to ensure that the standard, which is based on maximum achievable control technology ( MACT) specific to miscellaneous metal parts and products surface coating operations, is being achieved.

These records and reports are required under the General Provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A ( as authorized under sections 101, 112, 114, 116, and 301 of the Act as amended by Pub. L 101 549 [ 42 U. S. C. 7401, 7412, 7414, 7416, 7601]).

( a) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data The information will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to ( 1) identify new, modified, reconstructed, and existing facilities subject to the standards; and ( 2) ensure that MACT is being properly applied and that compliance is being maintained and documented.

In addition, records and reports are necessary to enable the 5 Agency to identify facilities that are not in compliance with the standards. Based on reported information, the EPA can decide which facilities should be inspected and what records or operations should be inspected at these facilities. The records that facilities maintain would indicate to EPA whether the owners or operators are in compliance with the standards.

Much of the information the EPA would need to determine compliance would be recorded and compiled monthly. Such information would be reviewed by enforcement personnel during an inspection.

3. The Respondents and the Information Requested ( a) Respondents/ SIC Code Respondents are owners or operators of facilities that perform surface coating of miscellaneous metal parts and products and that are classified as major sources under section 112 of CAA. In general, facilities that coat miscellaneous metal parts and products are covered under the North American Industrial Classification System ( NAICS) and Standard Industrial Classification ( SIC) codes listed in the table below. However,

facilities classified under other NAICS or SIC codes may be subject to the proposed standard if they meet the applicability criteria. Not all facilities classified under the NAICS and SIC codes in the table will be subject to the proposed standard PRODUCT EXAMPLES AND CORRESPONDING NAICS AND SIC CODES FOR MISCELLANEOUS METAL PARTS AND PRODUCTS SOURCE CATEGORY ( Continued)

6 because some of the classifications cover products outside the scope of the NESHAP for miscellaneous metal parts and products.

( ii) Respondent activities: The respondent activities required by the standards in the first 3 years following the effective date are described in Attachment 2. The assumptions used to develop the estimated burden on affected facilities are presented in Attachment 3. The respondent activities and corresponding burden estimates are listed in the first two columns of Tables 1 through 11, which are presented in Attachment 4. Tables 12 through 14 also show the calculated burden for the entire industry for each year after the effective date of the rule. Individual tables for existing and for new facilities for each of the first 3 years after the effective date were developed 9 because the annual burden varied during each of the first 3 years. Tables were also developed for the second 3 year period after the effective date of the rule because existing facilities will not be required to comply with the rule until three years after the rule is final. Therefore, on an industrywide basis,

most of the recordkeeping and reporting burden is not required until the fourth year after the effective date of the rule.

4. Information Collected Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management ( a) Agency Activities Agency activities for the first 3 years following the effective date of the standards are provided in Tables 15 through 17 in Attachment 4, and are discussed in section 6c. Individual tables for each of the first 3 years after the effective date were developed because the annual burden varied between each year. Tables 18 through 20 show the Agency burden for the second three year period after the rule is in effect, and Table 21 shows a summary of the burden by year.

( b) Collection Methodology and Management Information contained in the initial, one time only reports will be entered in the Aerometric Information Retrieval System ( AIRS) Facility Subsystem operated and maintained by the Agency's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards. Data obtained 10 during periodic visits by Agency personnel, from records maintained by the respondents, and from information provided in semiannual reports will be tabulated and published for internal EPA use in compliance and enforcement programs. The regulation does not require the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Although many of the large companies have elaborate collection methods, automated systems are not required to comply with the Monitoring, Recordkeeping, and Reporting requirements of this rule.

( c) Small Entity Flexibility Approximately 162 of the 1500 affected facilities in this source category are owned by small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration ( SBA). The Agency does not expect that any miscellaneous metal parts and products surface coating operation, including the small businesses, would experience more than minimal adverse impacts related to the cost of the required reporting and recordkeeping.

( d) Collection Schedule For all existing facilities, the Initial Notification must be submitted within 12 months after the effective date of the standard and the initial Notification of Compliance Status must be submitted within 30 days after the end of the initial 11 compliance period. Records necessary to determine compliance would be compiled on a monthly basis and notifications of compliance status would be submitted to the Administrator on a semiannual basis.

5. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria ( a) Nonduplication Certain reports required by State or local agencies may duplicate information required by the rule. In such cases, a copy of the report submitted to the State or local agency can be provided to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the rule.

( b) Consultations The EPA advised interested parties on July 16, 1992 ( 57 FR 31576) of the categories considered as sources of HAP's, and " Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products Surface Coating Operations" was listed as a category of major sources. No specific information was provided with respect to burden estimates at that time.

Representatives from other interested EPA offices and programs, including State and Regional environmental agency personnel, participated in the regulatory development and were given opportunities to review and comment on the rule before proposal. Therefore, the EPA believes that the implication to other EPA offices and programs was adequately considered during 12 the development of the proposed rule. In addition, the EPA has met with many members of industry concerning the proposed rule.

Finally, industry, regulatory authorities, and environmental groups will have the opportunity to comment on the rule and provide additional information during the public comment period following proposal.

( c) Effects of Less Frequent Collection If the relevant information were collected less frequently by the owner or operator, the EPA would not be reasonably assured that a facility is in compliance with the standards. Less frequent collection could result in long term exceedances of the applicable emission limits. This reporting frequency is consistent with the requirements of title V permit programs.

Consequently, less frequent reports would not result in a lower burden.

( d) General Guidelines This ICR requires that miscellaneous metal parts and products surface coating operations retain records of control device monitoring or HAP emissions calculations records at facilities for a period of 5 years, which exceeds the 3 year retention period contained in the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.5;

however, the 5 year period is consistent with the General Provisions to 40 CFR part 63 and the permit requirements under 40 CFR part 70. All facilities subject to this rule will be 13 required to obtain operating permits either through the Stateapproved permitting program or, if one does not exist, in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 71, when promulgated. None of the other guidelines in 4 CFR 1320.6 are being exceeded.

( e) Confidentiality All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR part 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 8,

1978; 43 FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23,

1979).

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden The annual burden estimates for reporting and recordkeeping activities are presented in Tables 1 through 14 in Attachment 4.

Individual tables for the first 3 years after the effective date were developed because the annual burden varied between each of the first 3 years. The 1500 major source facilities that exist as of the effective date of the rule are not required to come into compliance with the rule until three after the effective date. Forty five new facilities are projected to be constructed each year after the effective date of the rule, and must comply 14 when they begin operating. The burden estimates in each table were derived from estimates based on the Agency's experience with other standards. These costs represent the average burden that will be incurred by facilities and the entire industry in the first 3 years after the standards go into effect. Tables are also presented in Attachment 4 showing the burden for the second 3 year period because the burden is significantly higher then.

( b) Estimating Respondent Costs Labor rates and associated costs are based on estimated hourly rates of technical at $ 54.92, management at $ 78.10, and clerical at $ 36.16.

No capital/ startup costs have been assigned because the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the standards are not expected to result in the need for purchasing any additional equipment, or the expenditure of any startup costs. Facilities are expected to comply with the standards by reformulating their coating materials rather than purchasing add on control devices.

Thus, the purchase of monitoring or recording devices is not anticipated.

The annual operating and maintenance costs included the costs to copy and mail each response, and was estimated to be $ 20 per response. Over the first three years after the effective date of the standards, 45 new facilities are projected each year.

During this period, the 135 affected facilities will submit a 15 total of 540 reports ( 90 in year 1; 180 in year 2; 270 in year 3)

at a cost of $ 10,800.00 ( 540 * $ 20 = $ 10,800). The annualized operating and maintenance cost over the 3 years is, therefore,

$ 3600 per year.

( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Costs Because the information collection requirements were estimated as an incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to the development of the information collection requirements. Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents are required under section 112 of the Act, no operational costs will be incurred by the Federal Government. Publication and distribution of the information are part of AIRS, with the result that no Federal costs can be attributed to the ICR. Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part of the Agency's overall compliance and enforcement program and, therefore, is not attributable to the ICR.

The only costs that the Federal Government will incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the information reported semiannually by the sources, ( unless the semiannual reports indicate a violation, thereby triggering an enforcement 16 action) as presented in Tables 15 through 21 in Attachment 4.

Labor rates and associated costs are based on estimated hourly rates of technical at $ 54.92, management at $ 78.10, and clerical at $ 36.16.

( d) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs/ Master Tables ( i) Respondent Tally: The annual bottom line respondent burden hours and costs are calculated by adding the total personhours and labor costs for 1500 existing facilities during the first 3 years to the total person hours and labor costs for the 45 new facilities in each of the first 3 years, and then dividing by the 3 year review period. The total annual burden hours and labor costs are shown on the following table.

Year Total burden,

hours Total costs, $

1 97,359 5,286,255 2 49,680 2,697,451 3 271,101 14,719,841 Total 418,140 22,703,548 Bottom line annual burden 139,380 7,567,849 ( ii) The Agency Tally: The annual bottom line Agency burden hours and costs are calculated by adding the total personhours and labor costs from each of the first three years, and 17 then dividing by the 3 year review period. The annual number of hours averaged over the first 3 years is 7,912 at a cost of $ 429,594 per year. The Agency burden is shown on the following table.

Year Total burden, hours Total costs, $

1 15,870 861,686 2 3,312 179,830 3 4,554 247,266 Total 23,736 1,288,782 Bottom line annual burden 7,912 429,594 ( iii) Variations in the annual bottom line: The annual burden hours and costs vary over the course of the 3 year review period because of the burden associated with initial reports and other one time activities ( e. g., developing the recordkeeping system). Also, because existing sources are not required to comply for three years, there is only a relatively low level of burden during this period. Hours for reading and understanding the rule and preparing the Initial Notification are assigned to the first year and hours for planning activities and training personnel are allotted for the third year. For existing sources,

the actual recordkeeping and reporting activities begin in the fourth year, and will be ongoing each year thereafter.

The Agency burden hours and costs will also vary over the 18 3 year review period because the number of respondents increases by 45 new facilities each year. Tables 15 through 17 present the Agency burden hours and costs of each of the 3 years following the effective date of the rule. The overall Agency burden after the first three year period will increase significantly as existing facilities begin semi annual reporting during the fourth year.

( e) Reasons for Change in Burden This section does not apply because this is a new collection.

( f) Burden Statement ( i) The EPA is required under section 112( d) of the Clean Air Act to regulate emissions of HAP listed in section 112( b).

( ii) The information is needed as part of the overall compliance and enforcement program.

( iii) The total annual reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection averaged over the first 3 years is estimated to be 139,380 hours per year for the entire source category. The average burden for the facilities that exist as of the effective date of the rule is about 60 hours per year for reading the rule and preparing to comply with the rule. For each of the 45 new sources that are projected each year, the burden is about 548 hours in the first year ( Table 6) and about 412 hours in subsequent years ( Table 7). The rule requires a one time initial 19 notification and a notification of compliance status from each respondent and subsequent notification every 6 months to indicate their compliance status. A respondent would also be required to keep necessary records of data to determine compliance with the standards in the regulation. The data would be recorded monthly.

There would be an estimated 1500 respondents initially applicable to the proposed collection requirements, and 45 additional respondents each year thereafter. This burden estimate 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.

iv) The respondents would be subject to applicable recordkeeping, reporting, and other requirements in 40 CFR 63.9 and 63.10, as specified in the proposed rule.

( v) All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2,

Subpart B Confidentiality of Information ( see 40 CFR part 2; 20 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1076; amended by 43 FR 39999,

September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674,

March 23, 1979).

( vi) 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 a table in 40 CFR part 9. The EPA will amend part 9 when the ICR is approved. 21 Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing a respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to Ms Susan Auby,

( 2) Plan Activities represents such burdens as design,

redesign, scheduling, and selecting methods of compliance.

( 3) Training represents the portion of activities from ( 1)

Read Rule and Instruction for which an average facility would elect to provide classroom instruction. The standard does not require specific training itself.

( 4) Create, Test, and Research and Development are the activities involving testing, retesting, establishing parameter monitoring levels and determining emission point applicability.

( 5) Gather Information, Monitor, and Inspect are the activities involving collection of monitored data and other related activities.

( 6) Process/ Compile and Review are the activities that involve analysis of the information collected during the compliance period for accuracy and completeness, and include generation of appropriate internal reports and records required as a result. 27 ( 7) Complete Reports represents the activities normally associated with filling out required forms. Because the rule requires no standardized forms, these activities relate to the preparing of formal reports and cover letters as appropriate.

( 8) Record/ Disclose are activities that are solely recordkeeping that occur once the appropriate report information has been extracted. These activities involve software translation, duplication, or archival processes normally associated with data management and storage common to this industry.

( 9) Store/ File are again activities that are solely recordkeeping that occur once the appropriate report information has been extracted. The activities involve the management life cycle of records, from the time they are filed and stored, to the time they are disposed.

( 10) LDAR Reporting and Recordkeeping is the burden that is associated with requirements to develop and implement a leak detection and repair plan. ( This rule has no LDAR requirements)

( 11) Capital Costs of Monitoring and Recordkeeping Equipment is the cost for purchasing automated monitoring and recording devices that are required by the standards. 28 ATTACHMENT 3 Assumptions Used in Cost Estimates 29 ATTACHMENT 3a Assumptions Used in Burden Estimates 30 Assumptions Used in Burden Estimates ( a) There are 1500 major ( or " affected") sources and all are assumed to come into compliance three years after the effective date of the rule, as required by the rule.

( b) There are expected to be 135 new, modified, or reconstructed sources during the first three years ( 45 in each year).

( c) A total of 40 hours were estimated for obtaining,

reading, and understanding the requirements of the standard.( Burden Item 1)

( d) An estimated 40 hours would be required for communication and coordination with materials suppliers to ensure that all needed information relative to HAP and solids content of materials is provided with each purchase or shipment.( Burden Item 2)

( e) A total of 76 hours were estimated for training an additional employee in the preparation of records and reports, as well as creating a " template" for the reports.( Burden Items 3 & 4)

( f) A total of 30 hours per month were assumed for gathering or retrieving the inventory data from which the monthly compliance determination will be made and for the analysis of the data.( Burden Items 5& 6)

( g) An estimated 8 hours would be required for each of the 31 semi annual compliance reports submitted to EPA.( Burden Item 7)

( h) A total of 8 hours were estimated for managing ( copying, distributing, storing, etc). each of the semi annual reports.( Burden Items 8& 9)

( i) Average labor costs per hour are; technical  $ 54.92,

management  $ 78.10, clerical  $ 36.16.

( j) In addition to the technical hours described above,

management hours equal to 5 percent and clerical hours equal to 10 percent of the technical hours are included in the total burden estimate.

For the second year ( and subsequent years) after facilities begin complying with the rule, the following estimates were included:

( a) A total of 20 hours were assumed annually for rereading portions of the standards, coordination with suppliers, and training additional employees.

( b) A total of 30 hours per month were assumed for completing the compliance determination.

( c) An estimated 8 hours were assumed for preparing each semi annual compliance report.

( d) An estimated 8 hours were assumed for " managing" each semi annual report. 32 ( e) Average labor costs per hour are; technical  $ 54.92,

management  $ 78.10, clerical  $ 36.16.

( f) Management hours equal to 5 percent and clerical hours equal to 10 percent of the technical hours are included in the total burden estimate. 33 ATTACHMENT 3b Assumptions Used in Monitoring, Recordkeeping,

and Reporting Estimates 34 35 Monitoring, Recordkeeping, and Reporting Burden Estimation Methodology 1. The number of coating materials used was selected as the measure of the Monitoring, Recordkeeping, and Reporting Burden placed on facilities represented in the Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products MACT Database ( 321 facilities). This approach assumes that the number of materials used is a better indicator of reporting burden than facility size based on coating usage ( volume).

2. The facilities in the MACT database were ranked and divided into ranges based on the number of Materials they must track.

The MMPP contains groups of similar materials as one entry.

In order to count the total number of materials these groups had to be accounted for. Since it was not always noted how many materials were in each group, an assumption was needed to determine how many materials were represented by the group. A random sampling of the materials contained in the groups of data was taken. The sample results indicated that the average group of coatings represents 7 materials.

3. Facilities were grouped based on the following ranges of materials: 36 Group I < 25 Materials ( 183 facilities, 57%)

Group II 25 to 100 Materials ( 114 facilities, 36%)

Group III > 100 Materials ( 23 facilities, 7%)

4. The maximum number of materials for a facility was 288.

5. It was assumed that the Group II Facilities would require 2 times the effort that Group I would require. In addition, it was assumed that Group III facilities would require 3 times the effort that Group I would require. This is based on the assumption that as the number of materials increase,

automation and increased efficiency would allow the larger facilities to perform tasks at a faster rate.

6. The number of facilities in each group nationwide was then projected from the distribution of facilities in the MACT database. This was based on our previous assumption of 1500 existing facilities and 45 new facilities per year.

7. Below is the projection of facilities for each group across the MMPP industry:

Group I 855 existing facilities; 26 new facilities 37 Group II 540 existing facilities; 16 new facilities Group III 105 existing facilities; 3 new facilities 8. We then adjusted burden items 5 ( Gather Information, Monitor and Inspect) and 6 ( Process/ Compile Review) from the list in Attachment 2 because they were the activities that would be affected by the number of materials used.

9. We assumed that for Item 5 Group I would require 12 hours.

10. The following is a summary of the burden for Item 5 by Group:

Group I ( 12 hours effort per facility)

855 facilities X 12 hours per facility = 10,260 hours Group II ( 2x the effort for Group I)

540 facilities X 24 hours per facility = 12,960 hours Group III ( 3x the effort for Group I)

105 facilities X 36 hours per facility = 3,780 hours 38 Total for all groups = 27,000 hours Average burden ( 1500 facilities) = 18 hours 11. We assumed that for Item 6 Group I would require 8 hours.

12. The following is a summary of the burden for Item 6 by Group:

Group I ( 8 hours effort per facility)

855 facilities X 8 hours per facility = 6,840 hours Group II ( 2x the effort for Group I)

540 facilities X 16 hours per facility = 8,640 hours Group III ( 3x the effort for Group I)

105 facilities X 24 hours per facility = 2,520 hours Total for all groups = 18,000 hours Average burden ( 1500 facilities) = 12 hours 13. The average values of 18 hours for Item 5, and 12 hours for Item 6 were placed into the OMB 83 I spreadsheets. 39 14. The 5th year Monitoring, Recordkeeping, and Reporting cost reflecting the adjustments for facility size based on number of materials was $ 44,758,958.00. When combined with the estimated 5th year compliance cost of $ 12,568,504.00 results in a total cost of $ 57,327,462.00.

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 accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (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). The
OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum
burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and
to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of
efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The 1,3 Butadiene Standard requires employers to monitor employee
exposure to 1,3-Butadiene; develop and maintain compliance and exposure
goal programs if employee exposures to BD are above the standard's
permissible exposure limits or action level; label respirator filter
elements to indicate the date and time it is first installed on the
respirator; establish medical surveillance programs to monitor employee
health, and to provide employees with information about their
exposures; and the health effects of exposure to BD.

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 the approval of the collection
of information (paperwork) requirements contained in the 1,3 Butadiene
Standard. The agency is requesting a 28-hour adjustment decrease (from
915 hours to 887 burden hours). The adjustment is a result of a 34%
decrease in the number of facilities/industrial sectors and total
number of job categories in all facilities.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: The 1,3 Butadiene Standard (29 CFR 1910.1051).
    OMB Number: 1218-0170.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Not-for-profit
organizations; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 57.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 2,623.
    Average Time per Response: Time per response ranges from 15 seconds
(.004 hour) to write the date and time on each new cartridge label to 2
hours to complete a referral medical examination.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 887.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $91,296.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co KG
(Type Certificate Previously Held by Rolls-Royce plc) Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2020-12-01, which applies to certain Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd. & Co
KG (RRD) Trent XWB-75, Trent XWB-79, Trent XWB-79B, and Trent XWB-84
model turbofan engines. AD 2020-12-01 requires initial and repetitive
inspections of the low-pressure compressor (LPC) outlet guide vane
(OGV) outer mount ring assembly and, depending on the results of the
inspections, possible replacement of the LPC OGV outer mount ring
assembly. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-12-01, it was determined that
these inspections are also necessary for RRD Trent XWB-97 model
turbofan engines. This proposed AD would require initial and repetitive
inspections of the LPC OGV outer mount ring assembly and, depending on
the results of the

inspections, replacement of the LPC OGV outer mount ring assembly, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this NPRM by November 14, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

    The FAA issued AD 2020-12-01, Amendment 39-21135 (85 FR 34959, June
8, 2020) (AD 2020-12-01), for certain RRD Trent XWB-75, Trent XWB-79,
Trent XWB-79B, and Trent XWB-84 model turbofan engines. AD 2020-12-01
was prompted by analysis by the manufacturer of the LPC OGV assembly
and LPC OGV outer mount ring assembly. The analysis predicted that when
the front engine mount is in the fail-safe condition, the most highly
stressed LPC OGV outer mount ring assembly has a life that could be
substantially less than one shop visit interval. AD 2020-12-01 requires
initial and repetitive inspections of the LPC OGV outer mount ring
assembly, and depending on the results of the inspections, possible
replacement of the OGV outer mount ring assembly. The agency issued AD
2020-12-01 to prevent failure of the front engine mount support
structure.

Actions Since AD 2020-12-01 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2020-12-01, EASA, which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2022-0129, dated June 30, 2022 (the MCAI) to address an unsafe
condition for all RRD Trent XWB-75, Trent XWB-79, Trent XWB-79B, Trent
XWB-84, and Trent XWB-97 model turbofan engines. The MCAI states that
EASA AD 2022-0129 superseded EASA AD 2019-0234. EASA AD 2019-0234
specified that operators perform repetitive inspections (on-wing or in-
shop) of the OGV outer mount ring assembly lug fillet area in
accordance with RRD Alert Non-Modification Service Bulletin (NMSB)
Trent XWB 72-AK188, Initial Issue, dated August 13, 2019. The
manufacturer subsequently revised the NMSB and determined that the
inspections of the LPC OGV outer mount ring assembly are also necessary
for RRD Trent XWB-97 model turbofan engines. In addition, manufacturer
analysis indicated that the on-wing inspections, previously specified
in RRD NMSB Trent XWB 72-AK188, original issue, dated August 13, 2019,
could be discontinued, and the interval of the in-shop inspection could
coincide with a qualified shop visit, as outlined in RRD NMSB Trent XWB
72-AK188, Revision 3, dated May 9, 2022. As a result, EASA issued EASA
AD 2022-0129 to discontinue the on-wing inspections, allow the in-shop
inspection interval to be adjusted, and expand the applicability to
include Trent XWB-97 model turbofan engines.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1244.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2022-0129. This EASA AD specifies
instructions for performing fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPIs) of
the LPC OGV outer mount ring assembly.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed RRD Alert NMSB Trent XWB 72-AK188, Revision 3,
dated May 9, 2022. This service information specifies procedures for

performing FPIs of the LPC OGV outer mount ring assembly.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the EASA
AD. The FAA is issuing this AD after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain none of the requirements of AD 2020-
12-01. This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions
specified in EASA AD 2022-0129, described previously, as incorporated
by reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this proposed AD and except as discussed under
``Differences Between this Proposed AD and the EASA AD.''

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has since
coordinated with other manufacturers and CAAs to use this process. As a
result, the FAA proposes to incorporate by reference EASA AD 2022-0129
in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with EASA AD 2022-0129 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are
the same as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not
mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example,
where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and
compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited
to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in
EASA AD 2022-0129. Service information required by the EASA AD for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-
2022-1244 after the FAA final rule is published.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    Where EASA AD 2022-0129 requires compliance from its effective
date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2022-0129 is not incorporated by
reference in this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 60 engines installed on airplanes of U.S. Registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.

 assembly.                               hour = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary repairs
or replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these repairs or replacements:

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
