SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    On May 24, 2007, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ``Anchorage Regulations; Edgecomb Maine, Sheepscot
River'' in the Federal Register (72 FR 29092). We received no comments
on the proposed rule. No public hearing was requested, and none was
held.

Background and Purpose

    This rule is intended to reduce the risk of vessel collisions by
creating a general anchorage area in Edgecomb, Maine adjacent to the
current town mooring fields. This rule is designed to reserve
approximately 15 anchorages for transient vessels visiting the area
from May through October each year. The anchorage would accommodate
both sail and power vessels with a 3-to-12-foot draft.
    The Coast Guard is designating the general anchorage area in
accordance with 33 U.S.C. 471. The Coast Guard has defined the
anchorage area contained herein with the advice and consent of the Army
Corps of Engineers, Northeast, located at 696 Virginia Rd., Concord, MA
01742.

Regulatory Evaluation

    This rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under section
3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does
not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    The anchorage area does not impede the passage of recreational or
commercial vessels as it is not located in the primary channel of the
Sheepscot River, and will therefore have a minimal economic impact.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small
entities in understanding this rule so that they can better evaluate
its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking.
    If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or
governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its
provisions or options for compliance; please contact John J. Mauro, at
the address listed in ADDRESSES above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The

Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's
responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or
complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule would not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and will not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Commandant Instruction M16475.1D,
which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors in this case that would limit
the use of a categorical exclusion under section 2.B.2 of the
Instruction. Therefore, this rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph 34(f), of the Instruction from further
environmental documentation. Paragraph (34)(f) applies to this rule
because it establishes an anchorage area. A final ``Environmental
Analysis Check List'' and a final ``Categorical Exclusion
Determination'' are available in the docket for inspection or copying
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers
Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts AA and BB) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers
Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts AA and BB) (Renewal), EPA ICR
Number 1790.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0361

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers Production
were: proposed on December 27, 1996;  promulgated on June 10, 1999; and
amended on June 12, 2002.  These standards apply to owners, or operators
of existing phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizers
production facilities.  The rule applies to component processes at these
facilities and to any new, modified, or reconstructed sources.
Component processes include wet process phosphoric acid plants,
superphosphoric acid plants, purified phosphoric acid plants, phosphate
rock dryers, phosphate rock calciners, diammonium and monoammonium
phosphate plants, and granular triple superphosphate (GTSP) plants.
Since many of the facilities affected by the standards also are subject
to new source performance standards (NSPS), the standards include an
exemption from the NSPS for those sources.  The exemption eliminates a
duplication of information collection requirements.

Consistent with the General Provisions for National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Source Categories (40 CFR part
63, subpart A), respondents are major sources.  Respondents are required
to submit one-time notifications (where applicable) and a one-time
report on performance test results and must notify the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) if annual performance tests
indicate a change in the baseline operating range of emission control
equipment.  Plants must develop and implement a startup, shutdown, and
malfunction plan, and submit semiannual reports of any event in which
the plan was not followed.  Quarterly reporting is required when excess
emissions occur.  General requirements applicable to all NESHAP require
records of applicability determinations, test results, exceedances,
periods of startups, shutdowns, or malfunctions; monitoring records, and
all other information needed to determine compliance with the applicable
standard.  Records and reports must be retained for a total of five
years (two years at the site; the remaining three years of records may
be retained off-site).

Respondents are required to install monitoring devices to measure the
pressure drop and liquid flow rate for wet scrubbers.  These operating
parameters are permitted to vary within ranges determined concurrently
with performance tests.  Respondents must perform annual performance
tests to verify, or reestablish operating ranges for purposes of
determining exceedances.

The standards require sources to determine and record the amount of
phosphatic feed material processed, or stored on a daily basis.  This
requirement allows verification of plant operating rates, which is one
of the factors considered in establishing the operating ranges of
control devices.  This requirement poses no additional burden upon the
industry.  This is so because proper plant operation and industry
practice include daily recording of phosphate-bearing feedstocks
processed.  This practice predates the regulations and would continue in
their absence.  Even considering this daily recording requirement, it
places no additional burden upon sources; thus, no estimate has been
made for this requirement.

Based on our consultations with industry representatives during a
previous renewal, there is an average of one affected facility at each
plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the
owner/operator of the plant site).

Approximately 12 sources currently are subject to the regulation, and it
is estimated that no additional sources will become subject to the
regulation in the next three years.

The active (previous) Information Collection Request (ICR) had the
following Terms of Clearance (TOC):

The cost of labor assumptions underlying the respondent and agency
burden cost calculations should be updated in the next renewal.

This ICR has been updated to include estimates of the respondent and
agency burden costs based on the most recent rates for managerial,
technical, and clerical labor.  Labor rates for the respondents are from
the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
September 2009, ”Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and
Industry group.”  Labor rates for the agency are from the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM), 2010 General Schedule, which excludes
locality rates of pay.

The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1:
Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid
Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers Production (40CFR part 63,
subparts AA and BB) (Renewal).  The burden to the “Federal
Government” is attributed entirely to work performed by Federal
employees or government contractors; this burden may be found below in
Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid
Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers Production (40CFR part 63,
subparts AA and BB) (Renewal).

2.  Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is charged under section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended,
to establish standards of performance for each category, or subcategory
of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants.  These
standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air
pollutants and will require the maximum degree of emission reduction.
In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require
any owner, or operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:

(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports;     (C)
install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit
procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with
such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during
such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe);
(E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables,
or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is
impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with
Section 114(a)(3);   and (G) provide such other information as the
Administrator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)
emissions from phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizers
plants cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be
anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.  Therefore, the NESHAP
was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subparts AA
and BB.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The control of emissions of HAP from phosphoric acid manufacturing and
phosphate fertilizers plants requires the installation of properly
designed equipment and the operation and maintenance of that equipment.
Emissions of HAP from phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate
fertilizers plants are the result of operation of the affected
facilities.  The subject standards are achieved by the reduction of HAP
emissions using control technology and/or leak detection and repair
procedures.  The notifications required in the applicable regulations
are used to inform the Agency, or delegated authority when a source
becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations.  The reviewing
authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution
control devices are properly installed and operated, that leaks are
being detected and repaired, and that the regulations are being met.

Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency records of a
source's initial capability to comply with the emission standards, and
serve as a record of the operating conditions under which compliance was
achieved.  The semiannual reports are used for problem identification,
as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance
determinations.  The information generated by the monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this ICR is used
by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by the NESHAP continue
to operate the control equipment in compliance with the regulation.
Adequate monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting are necessary to
ensure compliance with the applicable regulations, as required by the
Clean Air Act.  The information collected from recordkeeping and
reporting requirements also is used for targeting inspections, and is of
sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court.

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

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under (40 CFR
part 63, subparts AA and BB).

3(a)  Non-duplication

If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is
sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office.  Otherwise, the
information is sent directly to the delegated state, or local agency.
If a state, or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to
implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the
state, or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the
report required by the Federal standards.  Therefore, no duplication
exists.

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

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR
was published in the Federal Register 74 FR 38004 on July 30, 2009.  No
comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3(c)  Consultations

Several consultations were conducted during a previous renewal of this
ICR.  First, the most recent ICR and the preparer of the active ICR were
referenced.  Then, the most recent data available on the Air Facility
System (AFS) database as maintained by the Office of Compliance were
accessed.  Information available from the Office of Compliance Sector
Notebook’s ”Profile of the Agricultural Chemical, Pesticide, and
Fertilizer Industry,” the United States Census Bureau via the
Internet, and other websites covering off-site waste and recovery
operations were also reviewed.  In additionally, the following people
were consulted: EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards,
Information Transfer and Program Integration Division; The Fertilizer
Institute (TFI), Mr. William Herz,<PHONE_NUMBER>; the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDAP), Ms. Cindy Phillips, (805)
921-9534; and the PCS Phosphate Company Incorporated, Mr. William
Schimming,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

3(d)  Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of
assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards.
Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful
techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are
applied and emission limitations are met.  If the information required
by these standards was collected less frequently, the likelihood of
detecting poor operation and maintenance of control equipment and
noncompliance would decrease.

3(e)  General Guidelines

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violates any of
the regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

These standards require affected facilities to maintain all records,
including reports and notifications, for at least five years.  This is
consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards.  EPA
believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent
with Part 70 permit programs and the five-year statute of limitations on
which the permit program is based.  Also, the retention of records for
five years would allow EPA to establish the compliance history of a
source and any pattern of compliance for purposes of determining the
appropriate level of enforcement action.  Historically, EPA has found
that the most flagrant violators frequently have violations extending
beyond the five years.  EPA would be prevented from pursuing the worst
violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of records if records
were retained for less than five years.

3(f)  Confidentiality

Any 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 (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR
36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43
FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g)  Sensitive Questions

None of the reporting, or recordkeeping requirements contains sensitive
questions.

4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a)  Respondents/SIC Codes

The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are
phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizers production
facilities.  The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
code for the respondents affected by the standards is SIC 2874 which
corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
325312 for phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizers
production facilities.

4(b)  Information Requested

None of these reporting, or recordkeeping requirements violates any of
the regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

(i)  Data Items

All data in this ICR that are recorded and/or reported are required by
the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for
Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers Production (40
CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB).

A source must make the following reports:

Notifications	Standard Citation by Sections

Notification and application of construction/reconstruction	63.5(d)

Notification of initial startup	63.09(b), 63.607, and 63.627

Notification of initial performance test	63.7(b), 63.9(e), 63.607, and
63.627

Extension of compliance	63.607, 63.627, and 63.9(c)

Special compliance requirements	63.607, 63.627, and 63.9(d)

Waiver of performance testing	63.607, 63.627, and 63.7(h)

Notification of compliance status	63.607, 63.627, and 63.9(h)

Reports for 40 CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB

Initial performance test report	63.607(a)(1), 63.627(a)(1), and 63.10(d)

Semiannual report	63.10(e) and 63.607(c)(2)

Quarterly report	63.10(e) and 63.607(c)(2)

Annual report	63.10(e) and 63.607(c)(1)

A source must keep the following records:

Reports and notifications	63.10(b)

Records retained for 5 years	63.10(b)(1)

Electronic Reporting

Presently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides
parameter data in an automated way, e.g., leaks and spills of phosphoric
acid.  Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data,
this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden
associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.  In addition, some
regulatory agencies are setting up electronic reporting systems to allow
sources to report electronically, so as to reduce the reporting burden.
However, electronic reporting systems are still not widely used by the
regulatory agencies.  It is estimated that approximately 20 percent of
the respondents use electronic reporting.

(ii)  Respondent Activities

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate devices for HAPs.

Perform initial performance test, Reference Methods 5 and 13 test, and
repeat performance tests if necessary.

Write the notifications and reports listed above.

Enter information required to be recorded above.

Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting,
validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of 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.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.

Currently, sources are using automated monitoring equipment that
provides parameter data.  Although personnel at the source still need to
evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly
reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.

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

5(a)  Agency Activities

EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the
acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required
information.

Agency Activities

Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if
necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports,
and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Air Facility System (AFS).

5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect
the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are
properly installed and operational.  Performance test reports are used
by the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with
the emission standard, and note the operating conditions under which
compliance was achieved.  Data and records maintained by the respondents
are tabulated and published for            use in compliance and
enforcement programs.  The semiannual reports are used for problem
identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for
compliance determinations.

Information contained in the reports is entered into the AFS which is
operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.  AFS is the EPA
database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance
and annual emission inventory data for more than 100,000 industrial and
government-owned facilities.  EPA uses the AFS for tracking air
pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory
agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters.  EPA and its
delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner,
or operator for five years.

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

The exact number of small entities affected by this rule could not be
determined based on a review of available documents related to the rule,
including the full text of the Final Rule (60 FR 62930).  According to
both the Final Rule and the Wood Manufacturing Operations NESHAP
Implementation Document (EPA-456/R-97-005, updated March 2004),
additional mechanisms for exempting smaller sources from the standards
were put in place.  The Implementation Document states: “In order to
lessen the burden on … small sources … the EPA included material
usage and emission limits in the NESHAP.  Facilities below these limits
are designated by rule as area sources and are therefore not subject to
the NESHAP.”

A majority of the affected facilities are large entities (e.g., large
businesses).  However,    the impact on small entities (i.e., small
businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the
regulation.  Due to technical considerations involving the process
operations and the types of control equipment employed, the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and
large entities.  The Agency considers these requirements the minimum
needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further
for small entities.  To the extent that larger businesses can use
economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be
reduced.

5(d)  Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within
this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and
Cost - NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate
Fertilizers Production (40 CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB) (Renewal).

6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for
each of the subparts included in this ICR.

The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings
believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork
Reduction Act.  Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major
assumptions have been identified.  Responses to this information
collection are mandatory.

The 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.

6(a)  Estimating Respondent Burden

The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from
these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 1,534
(Total Annual Burden from Table 1).  These hours are based on Agency
studies and background documents from the development of the regulation,
Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously
approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial	$114.77 ($54.65 + 110%)

Technical	$97.59 ($46.47 + 110%)

Clerical	$48.26 ($22.98 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, March 2009, ”Table 2. Civilian Workers, by
Occupational and Industry group.”  The rates are from column 1,
”Total compensation.”  The rates have been increased by 110 percent
to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by
private industry.

(ii)  Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

The types of industry cost associated with the information collection
activity in the standards are labor and continuous emission monitoring
systems (CEMs).  The capital/startup costs are one- time costs when a
facility becomes subject to the regulation.  The annual operation and
maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and
other costs, such as photocopying and postage.

(E X F)

Temperature monitoring device	$2,700	0	0	$886	12	$10,632

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are zero.  The cost of the
temperature monitoring device would likely be written off the first
year, so no amortization of the cost is indicated.  This is the total of
column D in the above table.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are
$10,632.  This is the total of column G.

6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of
the reported information.  The EPA overall compliance and enforcement
program includes activities such as the examination of records
maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of
emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected
information.

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is
estimated to be $47,129.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

	Managerial	$61.36 (GS-13, Step 5, $38.35 + 60%)

	Technical	$45.52 (GS-12, Step 1, $28.45 + 60%)

	Clerical	$24.64 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.40 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2009
General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.  The rates have
been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages
available to government employees.  Details upon which this estimate is
based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for
Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers Production (40
CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB) (Renewal).

6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

Based on our research for this ICR, approximately 12 existing sources
currently are subject to the standard.  It is estimated that no
additional sources per year will become subject to the regulation in the
next three years.

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table which
addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents

	Respondents That Submit Reports	Respondents That Do Not Submit Any
Reports

	Year	(A)

Number of New Respondents	(B)

Number of Existing Respondents	(C)

Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records but Do Not Submit
Reports	(D)

Number of Existing Respondents That Are Also New Respondents	(E)

Number of Respondents

(E=A+B+C-D)

1	0	12	0	0	12

2	0	12	0	0	12

3	0	12	0	0	12

Average	0	12	0	0	12

To avoid double-counting respondents, column D is subtracted.  As shown
above, the average Number of Respondents over the three-year period of
this ICR is 12.

The number of responses per year is calculated using the following
table:

Total Annual Responses

(A)

Average Number of New Respondents per Year	(B)

Number of Reports for New Sources	(C)

Number of Existing Respondents	(D)

Number of Reports for Existing Sources	(F)

Number of Respondents That Keep Records but Do Not Submit Reports	(E)

Total Annual Responses

E=(AxB)+(CxD)+F

0	0	12	7	0	84

The number of Total Annual Responses is 84.

The total annual labor costs are $144,297.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and
Cost - NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate
Fertilizers Production (40 CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB) (Renewal).

Note that the total annual capital and O&M cost to the regulated entity
is $10,632.  These costs are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii),
Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is
estimated to be 1,062 labor hours at a cost of $47,129.  See below Table
2 Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid
Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizers Production (40 CFR part 63,
subparts AA and BB) (Renewal).

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The bottom line burden hours and cost tables for both the Agency and the
respondents are attached.  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information are estimated to average 18
hours per response.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the calculation methodology for labor hours in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR.  This is due to two
considerations: 1) the regulations have not changed over the past three
years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and
2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, negative or
non-existent.  However, due to a mathematical correction, there is a
decrease of eight hours in respondent labor hours.

This ICR has been updated with the most recent available labor rates for
each of the three labor categories.  There is an increase in both
respondent and Agency costs resulting from labor rate increases from
2003 to 2009.  This ICR uses 2009 labor rates because burden and cost
calculations in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR were expanded to include
managerial and clerical labor rates, and the previous ICR only provided
a technical labor rate.  The cost figure has also been updated to the
nearest dollar, whereas the previous ICR rounded the figure to the
nearest thousand dollar.

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 18 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 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.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB
Control Number.  The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed
at 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,

Assumptions:

a  This ICR assumes that managerial hours are 5 percent of technical
hours, and clerical hours are 10 percent of technical hours.  This ICR
uses a labor rate of $114.77 for managerial hours, $97.59 for technical
hours, and $48.26 for clerical hours.

b  We have assumed that the average of respondents that will be subject
to the rule will be twelve.  There will be no additional new sources per
year that will become subject to the rule over the three-year period of
this ICR.

c  We have assumed that 7 percent of respondents will fail the initial
performance test and must repeat it.

d  We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will report
exceedances.  Respondents are required to report quarterly.

e  We have assumed that 90 percent of existing respondents report no
excess emissions semiannually.

f  We have assumed that 1 of 12 sources will have to submit a startup,
shutdown, or malfunction report.

g  We have assumed that it will take 1.5 hours per respondent to enter
information.

h  We have assumed that information is entered one-time per week for 52
weeks per year.

i  There are no hours for training personnel since no training is
required by the rule and hours have been allotted under 5A for reading
and understanding the recordkeeping/reporting requirements.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The current regulations under 33 CFR part 100 address safety for
reoccurring marine events. This marine event does not appear in the
current regulations; however, as it is a regulation to provide
effective control over regattas and marine parades on the navigable
waters of the United States so as to insure safety of life in the
regatta or marine parade area, this marine event therefore needs to be
temporarily added.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish special local regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the
rule is to ensure safety of life on navigable waters of the United
States during the Choptank Bridge Swim event.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    On May 10, 2014, The Columbia Triathlon Association, Inc. of
Columbia, Maryland, is sponsoring the inaugural ``Choptank Bridge
Swim'' across the Choptank River between Cambridge, MD and Trappe, MD.
The event will occur from 10 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Approximately 250
swimmers will compete on a 3.6-mile and 1.6-mile endurance open water
courses. For the 1.6 mile swim, participants will start at the Choptank
River Fishing Pier State Park on the Talbot County side of the Choptank
River and swim between the Choptank River Bridge and the Choptank River
Fishing Pier, finishing on the beach at the Dorchester County Visitor's
Center. Swimmers participating in the longer 3.6 mile swim will begin
on the beach at the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge (south side of the
river), swim 2 miles north across the river to the Choptank River
Fishing Pier State Park, and then follow the 1.6 mile course between
the Choptank River Bridge and the Choptank River Fishing Pier,
finishing on the beach at the Dorchester County Visitor's Center. The
inaugural Choptank Bridge Swim is sanctioned by the World Open Water
Swimming Association. Participants will be supported by sponsor-
provided watercraft. The swim course will impede the federal navigation
channel.
    The Coast Guard proposes to establish special local regulations on
specified waters of the Choptank River. The regulations will be
enforced from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 10, 2014. The regulated area
includes all waters of Choptank River, from shoreline to shoreline,
within and area bounded on the east by a line drawn from latitude
38[deg]35'13'' N, longitude 076[deg]02'33'' W, thence south to latitude
38[deg]33'50'' N, longitude 076[deg]02'07'' W, and bounded on the west
by a line drawn from latitude 38[deg]35'37'' N, longitude
076[deg]03'09'' W, thence south to latitude 38[deg]34'25'' N, longitude
076[deg]04'05'' W, located at Cambridge, MD.
    The effect of this proposed rule will be to restrict general
navigation in the regulated area during the event. Vessels intending to
transit the Choptank River through the regulated area will be allowed
to safely transit the regulated area only when the Coast Guard Patrol
Commander has deemed it safe to do so. The Coast Guard will temporarily
restrict vessel traffic in the event area to provide for the safety of
participants, spectators and other transiting vessels. The Coast Guard
will provide notice of the special local regulations by Local Notice to
Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and the official patrol on
scene.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The economic impact of this rulemaking is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulations will be enforced
for only 6 hours; (2) the regulated area has been narrowly tailored to
impose the least impact on general navigation, yet provide the level of
safety deemed necessary; (3) although the regulated area applies to the
entire width of the Choptank River, persons and vessels will be able to
transit safely through a portion of the regulated area once the last
participant has cleared that portion of the regulated area and when the
Coast Guard Patrol Commander deems it safe to do so; and (4) the Coast
Guard will provide advance notification of the special local
regulations to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners
and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rulemaking may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of the
Choptank River encompassed within the special local regulations from 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 10, 2014. For the reasons discussed in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section above, this rule will not have a
significant economic impact

on a substantial number of small entities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rulemaking would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rulemaking would
affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction
and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or
any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rulemaking does not have implications for
federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATON CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this
rulemaking elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rulemaking
and would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety
that might disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category
of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves special
local regulations issued in conjunction with a regatta or marine
parade. This rulemaking is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A
preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of a 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
of 1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, the reporting burden (time and
costs) is minimal, the collection instruments are clearly understood,
and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and incidents (see 29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
OSHA to obtain such information with a minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining
said information (see 29 U.S.C. 657).
    The following provisions of the Commercial Diving Operations
Standards (the ``standards'') contain paperwork requirements:
Sec. Sec.  1910.401(b); 1910.420(a) and (b); 1910.421(b) and (h);
1910.422(e); 1910.423(d) and (e); 1910.430(a), (b)(4), (c)(1)(i)
through (c)(1)(iii), (c)(3)(i), (f)(3)(ii), and (g)(2); and
1910.440(a)(2) and (b). These provisions require that employers: Notify
OSHA if they deviate from the operational requirements of the
standards; develop and make available

to employees a safe practices manual; maintain a list of emergency
telephone or call numbers at the diving location; display a code flag
``A'' if diving from a surface other than a vessel in navigable waters;
and develop and maintain a depth-time profile for each dive. The
standards also mandate that employers: Record and maintain diving logs
that contain required information; investigate and provide a written
evaluation of any incident involving decompression sickness; mark
diving umbilicals as required; inspect, test, and calibrate specified
diving equipment; record modifications, repairs, tests, calibrations,
and maintenance performed on any diving equipment; make a record of
diving-related injuries and illnesses that result in a diver remaining
in a hospital for over 24 hours; and create, and disclose to specified
parties on request, the written records required by the standard, and
maintain these records for specified periods.
    The standards paperwork requirements allow employers to deviate
from established diving practices and tailor diving operations to
unusually hazardous diving conditions, and to analyze diving records
(including hospitalization and treatment records) for information they
can use to improve diving operations. These requirements are also a
direct and efficient means for employers to inform dive-team members
about diving-related hazards, procedures to use in avoiding and
controlling these hazards, and recognizing and treating diving-related
illnesses and injuries. Additionally, employers can review equipment
records to ensure that employees performed the required actions, and
that the equipment is in safe working order.
    Disclosing these records to employees and their designated
representatives permits them to identify operational and equipment
conditions that may contribute to diving accidents or diving-related
medical conditions.

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

    According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational
Employment Statistics report on Occupational Employment and Wages, May
2017, the number of professional divers has decreased from 10,000
divers in 2008 to 3,280 in 2017. Therefore, OSHA is requesting an
adjustment decrease of 137,847 burden hours from 205,015 to 67,168
hours. The agency will summarize any comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Commercial Diving Operations Standard (29 CFR part 1910,
subpart T).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0069.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 1,093.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Total Responses: 1,325,509.
    Average Time per Response: Various.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 67,168.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as the specific
requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJ. This includes submitting
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and
results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with
the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Thermoplastic resin production
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart JJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 31 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
quarterly.
    Total estimated burden: 177,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $9,350,000 in annualized capital/startup and/
or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total
estimated burden, labor costs, and capital and O&M costs as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in the
burden and cost estimates occurred because the previously-approved ICR
only covered the burden and costs associated with the 2014 amendment.
This ICR combines the burden from both the 2014 amendment and the pre-
2014 requirements of the rule.
