Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. CP13-14-000; PF12-10-000]

Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on November 1, 2012, Millennium Pipeline Company,
L.L.C. (Millennium), One Blue Hill Plaza, Seventh Floor, P.O. Box 1565,
Pearl River, New York 10965, filed an application pursuant to Section 7
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's
regulations, for authorization to construct, own, and operate the
Hancock Compressor Station and related facilities (Project) located in
the Town of Hancock, Delaware County, New York. This filing may also be
viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three
digits, in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, call<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    The Project will consist of a new 15,900 horsepower gas-fired
turbine compressor and related facilities located on a 35.8 acre parcel
of land (Millennium owns 10.8 acres and has an option to purchase the
remaining 25 acres). The purpose of the Project is to provide 107,500
dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of firm transportation service on
Millennium's system to the existing interconnection with Algonquin Gas
Transmission, L.L.C. in Ramapo, New York and points further east. In
addition, depending upon election of primary receipt points by
Millennium's shippers, up to an additional 115,000 Dth/d of firm
transportation service could be created between a recently completed
interconnection with Laser Gathering and an existing interconnection
with Columbia Gas Transmission, L.L.C. at Wagoner in Deerpark, New
York. Millennium estimates that the project facilities will cost
approximately $45.8 million and proposes to charge its existing system
rates as recourse rates for the project. However, Millennium
specifically does not seek a pre-determination of rolled-in rate
treatment for the project's costs. The expansion shippers have elected
to pay negotiated rates for the service.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Gary
A. Kruse, Vice President--General Counsel & Secretary, Millennium
Pipeline Company, L.L.C., One Blue Hill Plaza, Seventh Floor, P.O. Box
1565, Pearl River, New York 10965, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, by
facsimile at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Jessica Fore, Baker Botts L.L.P., 1299
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20004-2400, by telephone at
(202) 639-7727, by facsimile at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    On May 1, 2012, the Commission staff granted Millennium's request
to use the pre-filing process and assigned Docket No. PF12-10-000 to
staff activities involving the Project. Now, as of the filing of this
application on November 1, 2012, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this
project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP13-14-000, as noted in the caption of this
Notice.
    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0042; Directorate Identifier 2007-SW-26-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter Deutschland GMBH Model MBB-
BK 117C-2 Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Eurocopter Deutschland GMBH (Eurocopter) Model MBB-BK 117C-2
helicopters. This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The European Aviation Safety Agency for the Republic
of Germany, with which we have a bilateral agreement, states in the
MCAI:

    During inadvertent operation of the fire extinguishing system,
in one case it occurred that one of the two injection tubes became
disconnected. This condition, if not corrected, could affect the
ability of the fire extinguishing system to perform its intended
function in the case of activation.

The inability of the fire extinguishing system to suppress an engine
fire creates an unsafe condition. The proposed actions are intended to
address this unsafe condition by further securing the injection tubes
with improved clamps, allowing suppression of a contained engine fire,
and preventing an uncontained engine fire and subsequent loss of the
helicopter.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by February 22,
2008.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.

Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket
Operations, M-30, West Building, Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.
     Hand Delivery: Deliver to U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building, Ground Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Streamlined Issuance of AD

    The FAA is implementing a new process for streamlining the issuance
of ADs related to MCAI. This streamlined process will allow us to adopt
MCAI safety requirements in a more efficient manner and will reduce
safety risks to the public. This process continues to follow all FAA AD
issuance processes to meet legal, economic, Administrative Procedure
Act, and Federal Register requirements. We also continue to meet our
technical decision-making responsibilities to identify and correct
unsafe conditions on U.S.-certificated products.
    This proposed AD references the MCAI and related service
information that we considered in forming the engineering basis to
correct the unsafe condition. The proposed AD contains text copied from
the MCAI and for this reason might not follow our plain language
principles.

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2008-0042;
Directorate Identifier 2007-SW-26-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD based on those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov
, including any

personal information you provide. We will also post a report
summarizing each substantive verbal contact we receive about this
proposed AD.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued an
MCAI in the form of an EASA AD No. 2007-0121, dated May 3, 2007
(referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for this German-certificated product. The MCAI states:

    During inadvertent operation of the fire extinguishing system,
in one case it occurred that one of the two injection tubes became
disconnected. This condition, if not corrected, could affect the
ability of the fire extinguishing system to perform its intended
function in the case of activation.

The inability of the fire extinguishing system to suppress an engine
fire creates an unsafe condition. The proposed actions are intended to
address this unsafe condition by further securing the injection tubes
with improved clamps, allowing suppression of a contained engine fire,
and preventing an uncontained engine fire and subsequent loss of the
helicopter.
    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI and
service information in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Eurocopter has issued Alert Service Bulletin MBB BK117 C-2-26A-001,
dated January 22, 2007. The actions described in the MCAI are intended
to correct the same unsafe condition as that identified in the service
information.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
Federal Republic of Germany, and is approved for operation in the
United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with this State of
Design, we have been notified of the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI and service information. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information. Any such
differences are highlighted in the ``Differences Between the FAA AD and
the MCAI'' section in the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 26 helicopters
of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about 3.5 work-
hours per helicopter to replace the clamps on the injection tubes. The
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost $20
per helicopter. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $7,800, or $300 per helicopter.

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.
    We are 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

    We 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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH: Docket No. FAA-2008-0042; Directorate
Identifier 2007-SW-26-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by February 22, 2008.

Other Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Model MBB-BK 117C-2 helicopters, Serial
Number (S/N) 9004 through S/N 9104, and S/N 9106, 9107, and 9111,
with a fire extinguishing system B26K1002-801, B262K1003-801, or
B262K1004-801, installed, certificated in any category.

Reason

    (d) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    During inadvertent operation of the fire extinguishing system,
in one case it occurred that one of the two injection tubes became
disconnected. This condition, if not corrected, could affect the
ability of the fire extinguishing system to perform its intended
function in the case of activation.

The inability of the fire extinguishing system to suppress an engine
fire creates an unsafe condition. The proposed actions are intended
to address this unsafe condition by further securing the injection
tubes with improved clamps, allowing suppression of a contained
engine fire, and preventing an uncontained engine fire and
subsequent loss of the helicopter.

Actions and Compliance

    (e) At the next 100 hours time-in-service inspection, unless
already done, replace the current injection tube clamps by
installing GBS clamps, part number GBSM24/18W4SK, by following the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraph A., and Figure 1 of

Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin MBB BK117 C-2-26A-001, dated
January 22, 2007.

Differences Between the FAA AD and the MCAI

    (f) The FAA refers to the compliance time by hours time-in-
service rather than flight hours as referred to in the MCAI.

Subject

    (g) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code JASC 262
Extinguishing System.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (h) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Safety Management Group, Rotorcraft Directorate, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested, using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: John
Strasburger, Aviation Safety Engineer, Fort Worth, Texas 76193-0111,
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    (2) Airworthy Product: Use only FAA-approved corrective actions.
Corrective actions are considered FAA-approved if they are approved
by the State of Design Authority (or their delegated agent) if the
State of Design has an appropriate bilateral agreement with the
United States. You are required to assure the product is airworthy
before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements and has assigned OMB Control Number 2120-
0056.

Related Information

    (i) MCAI Airworthiness Directive No. 2007-0121, dated May 3,

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-83042; File No. SR-CBOE-2018-028]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Adopt
PAR Hardware Replacement Fees

April 12, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on April 2, 2018, Cboe Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``Cboe
Options'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to adopt Fees related to PAR hardware.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://www.cboe.com/AboutCBOE/CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at the Exchange's Office of the
Secretary, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to adopt Fees related to PAR hardware.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to assess fees for certain PAR
related hardware that needs to be replaced due to loss or damage.
Currently, the Exchange provides replacement PAR tablets, stylus,
chargers, adapters and protective cases free of charge to Trading
Permit Holders (``TPHs''). While the Exchange will continue to provide
these initial items free of charge, as well as replace any defective
items free of charge, it no longer wishes to subsidize items that need
replacement because of loss or because of non-normal wear and tear. As
such, the Exchange proposes to implement the following fees:

Replacement Tablet.......................  $1,300 each.
Replacement Stylus Pen...................  $100 each.

Replacement Chargers.....................  $75 each.
Replacement adapters and protective cases  $50 each.

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\3\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \4\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section 6(b)(4) of the Act,\5\ which requires that Exchange rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its Trading Permit Holders and other persons using
its facilities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is reasonable
because the amount of fees assessed reflect the approximate cost to the
Exchange to provide those items to TPHs. The Exchange believes it's
equitable and not unfairly discriminatory because TPHs that lose these
items or damage these items from non-normal wear or tear should be
responsible for the cost of replacement. The Exchange believes the
proposed fees will encourage TPHs to take proper care of the above-
mentioned PAR related hardware. As noted above, the Exchange will still
provide the initial items free of charge and will also not charge TPHs
to replace defective items (that were not the result of non-normal wear
and tear).

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intramarket or intermarket competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The
Exchange notes that the proposed rule change applies to all TPHs that
lose or damage the above-mentioned PAR related hardware. The Exchange
also notes the proposed rule change is not intended for competitive
purposes, but rather because the Exchange no longer wishes to subsidize
TPHs for items they lose or break.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \7\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission will institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

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

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Combined Notice of Filings #1

    Take notice that the Commission received the following exempt
wholesale generator filings:

    Docket Numbers: EG21-206-000.

ICR SUPPORTING STATEMENT

1. Identification of the Information Collection

   1(a) Title of the Information Collection

      CEQ-EPA Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators Application (Renewal)
      EPA ICR Number 2524.02, OMB Control Number 2090-0031

   1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

      The purpose of this information collection request is to collect applications for the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators program. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency), in conjunction with the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), established the award program to meet the requirements of Section 8(e) of the National Environmental Education Act (20 U.S.C. § 5507(e)).

      Agency officials developed the "Application for the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators" as a tool for selecting awardees. Teachers can participate by visiting http://www2.epa.gov/education/piaee-application and completing and submitting the application form. Application forms can be filled electronically and submitted by email or printed and mailed. Information collected includes background about the teacher and his/her experience, completed essay responses, sample teaching materials, and recommendations from a student, principal, and fellow teacher. EPA anticipates that the number of respondents completing the form during the period of this ICR will average 75 per year.

      Information gathered under the application form will be collected and stored in electronic format at Agency headquarters, on a secured drive. The information collected from this ICR will continuously help EPA and CEQ to select the top awardees for the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators (PIAEE). The selected winners will benefit from small cash prizes, which will help them to continue their mission of advancing innovative approaches to environmental education to grades K-12.

2. Need For and Use of the Collection

   2(a) Need/Authority for Collection

      The National Environmental Education Act Section 8(e) (20 U.S.C. § 5507(e)) dictates that EPA and CEQ provide cash awards for elementary and secondary education teachers and local education agencies. Specifically:

             The Chairman of the Council on Environmental Quality, on behalf of the President, is authorized to develop and administer an awards program to recognize elementary and secondary education teachers and their local educational agencies who demonstrate excellence in advancing environmental education through innovative approaches. One teacher, and the local education agency employing such teacher, from each State, including the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, are eligible to be selected for an award pursuant to this subsection.

             The Chairman is authorized to provide a cash award of up to $2,500 to each teacher selected to receive an award pursuant to this section, which shall be used to further the recipient's professional development in environmental education.

             The Chairman is also authorized to provide a cash award of up to $2,500 to the local education agency employing any teacher selected to receive an award pursuant to this section, which shall be used to fund environmental educational activities and programs. Such awards may not be used for construction costs, general expenses, salaries, bonuses, or other administrative expenses.

      The application form is completed by candidates for consideration as awardees under the PIAEE. The application form is completed as part of the awardee selection process. The application form is reviewed by the program manager and a panel of EPA and CEQ officials to determine eligibility and fulfillment of selection criteria. Using the application form benefits EPA by allowing for the selection of qualified awardees.

   2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

      Information gathered under the application form will continuously help EPA and CEQ select the top awardees for the Presidential Innovation Award for Environmental Educators. Using this form enables program managers and reviewers to select viable candidates for the awards.

3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

   3(a) Non-duplication

      Almost all information requested from respondents under this ICR is personal in nature, and in most cases, is not available from other sources.

   3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR submission to OMB

      Public notice on the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register on December 31, 2018 under 83 FR 65668. This notice indicates that the ICR is up for renewal and that public comments on the previous burden estimates and any proposed changes are being sought by the EPA Office of Public Engagement and Environmental Education (OPEEE). There were no comments received.

   3(c) Consultations

      In the preparation of this ICR renewal, the EPA OEE provided past respondents the opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard. The respondents reported that on average it takes 10 hours to complete the application form, which was not found to be overly burdensome.

   3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

The award program is conducted on an annual basis. The form is required to be completed once a year in order to select each year's awardees. The form allows government officials to select qualified awardees for the program, as required by the National Environmental Education Act (See Section 2 (a)). EPA would not be able to fulfill the requirements of the Act if the frequency of the collection period decreased.

   3(e) General Guidelines

These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.

   3(f) Confidentiality

The primary use of the information collected on this form is to allow EPA to review and select awardees in accordance with the National Environmental Education Act. Some information reported on the form is confidential, which includes name, address and phone number. This information is required to be withheld from the public pursuant to Section 107(a) of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978. Agency personnel shall not publicly release the information contained therein.

   3(g) Sensitive Questions

      This information collection does not include questions concerning sexual behavior or attitudes, religious beliefs, or other matters usually considered private and none of the information collected by this action results in or requests sensitive information of any nature.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested

   4(a) Respondents/NAICS Codes

      The respondents are K-12 teachers who teach on a full-time basis in a public school that is operated by a local education agency, including schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. For this program, a local education agency is one as defined by section 198 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (now codified at 20 U.S.C. 7801(26)). The NAICS code is 561311.

   4(b) Information Requested

      A copy of the application form is attached as Attachment A.

      (i) Data items, including record keeping requirements
      The Agency will maintain an Excel spreadsheet of the names of the respondents, their email address, and associated reviewer scores for selection purposes. This spreadsheet is for internal use only and not available to the public. Additionally, EPA will retain a hard copy of each completed application form and store according to Agency guidelines. Completed applications that are distributed to reviewers will have any confidential information redacted. The Agency does not anticipate any record keeping activities on the part of the respondents under this ICR.

      (ii) Respondent Activities
      Respondents will be asked to complete the application form. Forms may be downloaded from EPA's education website. Respondents can fill in the form electronically and may either print and mail a copy or they may attach the completed form by email. Each form will require the applicant to read the instructions, complete the application, write the essay responses and sample materials, and gather letters of recommendation. The form will take approximately 10 hours to complete.

5. The Information Collected - Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management

   5(a) Agency Activities

      Agency (EPA) activities associated with the collection of information include:

      Program Manager:
             Internal development, review and approval of Application Form (updated 2017)
             Taking actions to review the form, ascertain improvements, and revise periodically (approximately 2-year intervals or more if needed)
             Providing copies of the application form
             Answering any respondent questions, follow-up
             Gathering respondents' completed forms
             Screening respondents' completed forms
             Recordkeeping/storing the completed form
             Forwarding form to EPA's Reviewers

      Reviewers:
             Review of respondents' completed forms
             Ranking awardee selections

      To respond to this ICR, we estimate that the Program Manager will spend 3.5 hours per respondent screening applications and answering respondent questions.

      Each application is required to be reviewed by a minimum of 3 reviewers. EPA estimates that each reviewer spends 2 hours reviewing each application form, including completing a written evaluation of the application package and discussing winner selections.

   5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

      In collecting and analyzing the information associated with this ICR, EPA will use computers, e-mail, and websites. Respondents can obtain a blank application form from the EPA website. They may fill out the application form either electronically or in hard copy. The respondents can type essays in a Word document and attached them to the application form. Respondents can either print and mail in the application form and essay responses or send them as an email attachment. While respondents may type their information on the form, they must complete the signature page. In this case, respondents are allowed to print the signature page, sign, and scan the page as an attachment.

EPA will ensure the accuracy and completeness of collected information by reviewing each submittal and screening for missing components. EPA will enter basic contact information from the completed application form (name, school, email address) into an Excel Database that will only be accessible by the Program Manager. Each application form and essay responses are reviewed by a minimum of two EPA reviewers. Each reviewer submits the score to the Program Manager and the Program Manager will enter the score in to the Excel Database. This information is aggregated to select the respondents with the highest average scores from each EPA region as awardee finalists. This information is not available to the public.

   5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

      The respondents are small entities (i.e., teachers). The impact of small entities was taken into consideration during the development of the PIAEE application. The amount of questions asked was the minimum amount of information needed in order to make a decision on the awards.

   5(d) Collection Schedule
      EPA anticipates having the following annual collection schedule.
             January -  Application period opens. Respondents can download the application form from the EPA website and submit the completed form and essay responses via hard copy or email.
             March 30  -  Application period closes.
             May 1  -  May 30  -  EPA screens and reviews applications.
             June 1  -  EPA aggregates reviewer scores and submits selected finalists to CEQ.
             June 1-30  -  CEQ reviews and screens finalists' applications.
             Second week of July  -  EPA announces award winners.

      After the initial completion of the application form, respondents who are selected as finalists may be asked to provide additional information, including proof of the number of years teaching and may undergo screening by CEQ.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

   6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
Elementary and secondary schools mean hourly wage: $26.67. https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes250000.htm

To respond to this ICR, we estimated that each respondent will take 10 hours to complete the application form. The estimated labor cost for elementary and secondary school employees is $27.00, which including the standard overhead factor of 1.6, produces a loaded wage rate of $43.20 (rounded to $43). We estimate that approximately 75 teachers will respond to this request each year. Multiplying the estimated number of respondents (75) by the estimated respondent labor cost ($43) by the number of hours (10), we estimate the annual average dollar burden estimate for this ICR to be $32,251. The grand total for all 3 years is estimated at $96,753.

      (iii) Variations in the Annual Bottom Line

      We do not anticipate major variations in the annual bottom line burden hours and costs for the respondents or the Agency.

   6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

      There has been no change in the number of respondents or respondent burden hours since the original ICR was issued in 2016. The individual cost per respondent has risen, due to increases in the hourly wage estimates.

   6(g) Burden Statement

      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable applications and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

      To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this OCR under Docket Number EPA-HQ-OA-2018-0553, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the Office of Environmental Information Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA William Jefferson Clinton West Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m.  -  4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document lists the statements of findings made by EPA after
review of notices submitted under TSCA section 5(a) that certain new
chemical substances or significant new uses are not likely to present
an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This
document presents statements of findings made by EPA during the period
from June 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017.

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

    TSCA section 5(a)(3) requires EPA to review a TSCA section 5(a)
notice and make one of the following specific findings:
     The chemical substance or significant new use presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects of the
chemical substance or significant new use;
     The information available to EPA is insufficient to permit
a reasoned evaluation of the health and environmental effects and the
chemical substance or significant new use may present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment;
     The chemical substance is or will be produced in
substantial quantities, and such substance either enters or may
reasonably be anticipated to enter the environment in substantial
quantities or there is or may be significant or substantial human
exposure to the substance; or
     The chemical substance or significant new use is not
likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment.
    Unreasonable risk findings must be made without consideration of
costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a
potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation identified as relevant
under the conditions of use. The term ``conditions of use'' is defined
in TSCA section 3 to mean ``the circumstances, as determined by the
Administrator, under which a chemical substance is intended, known, or
reasonably foreseen to be manufactured, processed, distributed in
commerce, used, or disposed of.''
    EPA is required under TSCA section 5(g) to publish in the Federal
Register a statement of its findings after its review of a TSCA section
5(a) notice when EPA makes a finding that a new chemical substance or
significant new use is not likely to present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment. Such statements apply to PMNs,
MCANs, and SNUNs submitted to EPA under TSCA section 5.
    Anyone who plans to manufacture (which includes import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose and any
manufacturer or processor wishing to engage in a use of a chemical
substance designated by EPA as a significant new use must submit a
notice to EPA at least 90 days before commencing manufacture of the new
chemical substance or before engaging in the significant new use.
    The submitter of a notice to EPA for which EPA has made a finding
of ``not likely to present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or
the environment'' may commence manufacture of the chemical substance or
manufacture or processing for the significant new use notwithstanding
any remaining portion of the applicable review period.

IV. Statements of Administrator Findings Under TSCA Section 5(a)(3)(C)

    In this unit, EPA provides the following information (to the extent
that such information is not claimed as Confidential Business
Information (CBI)) on the PMNs, MCANs and SNUNs for which, during this
period, EPA has made findings under TSCA section 5(a)(3)(C) that the
