[Docket No. 2019-0396]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of Renewed Approval of Information Collection: Application
for Employment With the Federal Aviation Administration

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on July 9, 2019. The collection involves an automated
application process for employment with the Federal Aviation
Administration. Applicants access an online form that is presented with
requests for certain information.
    The information collected is necessary to determine basic
eligibility for employment and potential eligibility for Veteran's
Preference, Veteran's Readjustment Act, and People with Disability
appointments. In addition, there are specific occupation questions that
assist the FAA Office of Human Resource Management (AHR) in determining
candidates' qualifications in order that the best-qualified candidates
are hired for the many FAA occupations.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by January 13, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be
addressed to the attention of the Desk Officer, Department of
Transportation/FAA, and sent via electronic mail to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or faxed to<PHONE_NUMBER>, or mailed to
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management
and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW, Washington,
DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toni Main-Valentin by email at:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0597.
    Title: Application for Employment with the Federal Aviation
Administration.
    Form Numbers: FAA-3330-76.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information
was published on July 9, 2019 (84 FR 32826). Under the provisions of
Public Law 104-50, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was given
the authority and the responsibility for developing and implementing
its own personnel system without regard to most of the provisions of
Title 5, United States Code, exceptions being those concerning
veteran's preference and various benefits.
    The OPM developed a suite of forms for use in automated employment
processes: All under a single OMB approval. The FAA AHR has the same
OMB approval for its automated application for employment. By
automating processes for employment application and the evaluation of
candidates, AHR has markedly improved the service it provides to the
public as well as its ability to locate and hire the best-qualified
applicants. Lastly, via this process, applicants are provided on-line
results immediately upon submitting their application questionnaires.
    The Agency is requesting certain information necessary to determine
basic eligibility for employment and potential eligibility for
Veteran's Preference, Veteran's Readjustment Act, and People with
Disability appointments. In addition, occupation specific questions
assist AHR in determining candidates' qualifications in order that the
best-qualified candidates are hired for the many FAA occupations. The
system currently in use for this collection is the Automated Vacancy
Information Access Tool for Online Referral (AVIATOR). This system
cannot be directly accessed. Applicants are transferred to the AVIATOR
system from OPM's USAJOBS website during the application process.
    Respondents: Over 180,000 U.S. citizens identified as applicants
for employment with the Federal Aviation Administration.
    Frequency: On occasion/as interested.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 180,000 hours.
    Approximately 180,000 respondents will complete an application form
on as needed basis. Based on this sample size, it will take the average
applicant approximately 1 hour to read the instructions and complete
the form.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The estimated total burden is
180,000 hours annually.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on December 6, 2019.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2014-0362; FRL-9943-29-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Regional Haze Glatfelter BART SIP
Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to extend the compliance date for the Best Available Retrofit
Technology (BART) emission limits for sulfur dioxide (SO2)
at the P.H. Glatfelter Company (Glatfelter) facility submitted as part
of its State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision on April 14, 2014.
Specifically, EPA is extending the compliance date for the
SO2 emission limits applicable to Boilers No. 7 and No. 8 at
Glatfelter by 25 months, from December 31, 2014, to January 31, 2017.
We have reviewed this SIP revision and concluded that it meets the
requirements of the Clean Air Act and the regional haze rule and
because BART requirements continue to be met.

DATES: This final rule is effective on April 4, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

I. What is the background for this action?
II. What action is EPA taking?
III. Final Action
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is the background for this action?

    On July 2, 2012, EPA approved Ohio's Regional Haze SIP (77 FR
39177). Ohio's Regional Haze SIP included the applicability of BART to
the State's only non-utility BART source, Glatfelter, in Chillicothe,
Ohio. The BART requirement specified that two of the coal-fired boilers
at this facility, No. 7 and No. 8, install control technology to limit
the amount of SO2 emissions from the boilers. The compliance
date for BART emission reductions was scheduled to be December 31,
2014. The compliance date was aligned with Glatfelter's expected
compliance date for the Industrial Boiler Maximum Achievable Control
Technology (MACT) requirements finalized by EPA in May, 2011 (76 FR
28862).
    On February 6, 2014, Ohio EPA received a request from Glatfelter to
extend the original compliance date to January 31, 2017. The extension
request

is based on the litigation, revision and new compliance date associated
with the Industrial Boiler MACT. Under EPA regulations (40 CFR
51.308(3)(1)(iv)), BART is to be implemented ``as expeditiously as
practicable, but in no event later than 5 years after approval of the
implementation plan revision.'' The required compliance date is July 2,
2017.
    This rulemaking addresses an April 14, 2014, submission
supplemented on July 27, 2015, from the Ohio EPA to extend the
compliance date from December 31, 2014, to January 31, 2017. One of the
requests within the April 14, 2014, SIP revision includes ``the
requirement that P.H. Glatfelter submit an application for modification
of the federally enforceable permit (that will include a compliance
date outlining, at a minimum, the specific, selected control
technologies and methods of compliance) from December 31, 2013, to
requiring the submittal provide for sufficient time for Ohio EPA to
include these requirements, along with any appropriate monitoring,
record keeping and reporting requirements, in the federally enforceable
permit by no later than January 31, 2017.''
    Ohio EPA supplemented its original submittal on July 27, 2015, with
a revised federally enforceable permit for Glatfelter that included the
new compliance date. Ohio EPA made the federally enforceable permit
available for public comment on June 6, 2015, and comments were
accepted through July 7, 2015. The Ohio EPA consulted the Federal Land
Managers and included them in the public comment process. Two comments
were received and those comments, along with Ohio EPA's responses were
included in the July 27, 2015, submittal.

II. What action is EPA taking?

    The CAA and the Regional Haze Rule require BART controls to be
installed as expeditiously as practicable, but in no event later than
five years after approval of the Regional Haze implementation plan
revision. The proposed rulemaking associated with this final action was
published on December 9, 2015 (236 FR 76403), and EPA received no
comments during the comment period, which ended on January 8, 2016. EPA
is therefore taking final action to approve, as proposed, Ohio's
submission.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving a revision to the Ohio SIP submitted by the State
of Ohio on April 14, 2014, supplemented on July 27, 2015, related to
BART requirements for Glatfelter. Specifically, EPA is extending the
compliance date for the SO2 emission limits applicable to
Boilers No. 7 and No. 8 at Glatfelter by 25 months from December 31,
2014, to January 31, 2017.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Ohio
permit described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below.
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally
available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard
copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    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 Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January
21, 2011);
     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, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    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).
    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 May 3, 2016. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
