NESHAP for Beryllium

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C) (Renewal)

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Beryllium was proposed on December 7, 1971 (36 FR 23939) and
promulgated on April 6, 1973

(38 FR 8826).  This standard applies to all extraction plants, ceramic
plants, foundries, incinerators, and propellant plants which process
beryllium ore, beryllium, beryllium oxide, beryllium alloys, or
beryllium-containing waste.  The standard also applies to machine shops
which process beryllium, beryllium oxides, or any alloy when such alloy
contains more than 5 percent beryllium by weight.  All sources known to
have caused, or to have the potential to cause, dangerous levels of
beryllium in the ambient air are covered by the Beryllium NESHAP.  This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61,
subpart C.

In general, all NESHAP standards require owners or operators of the
affected facilities to submit one-time-only notifications including:
notification of any physical or operational change to an existing
facility which may increase the regulated pollutant emission rate,
notification of the initial performance test, including information
necessary to determine the conditions of the performance test, and
performance test measurements and results.  Owners or operators are also
required to maintain 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 notifications, reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to
NESHAP.

Specifically, most facilities subject to 40 CFR part 61, subpart C will
meet the standard by means of a one-time-only initial stack test.
However, those existing facilities that have elected to comply with an
alternative ambient air quality limit are required to operate a
continuous monitor in the vicinity of the affected facility.  The
monitoring requirements for these facilities provide information on
ambient air quality and ensure that locally, the airborne beryllium
concentration does not exceed 0.01 micrograms/m3.  For those complying
by ambient monitoring, a monthly report of all measured concentrations
will be submitted to the Administrator.

Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part will
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports,
and records.  All reports are sent to the delegated State or local
authority.  In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) regional office.

There are approximately 236 existing sources subject to this rule.  Of
the total number of existing sources, we have assumed that approximately
10 sources have elected to comply with this rule by monitoring ambient
air beryllium concentrations and the remaining 226 sources have elected
to comply with the rule by conducting a one-time only stack test to
determine beryllium emission levels.  We also assumed that 10 percent of
the 226 sources (or 23 respondents) complying with the emission limit
standard will engage in an operational change at their facilities that
could potentially increase beryllium emissions, and would be required to
repeat the stack test to determine the beryllium emission limits, and
consequently will have recordkeeping and reporting requirements
associated with this activity.

Over the next three years, an average of 33 facilities per year will be
subject to the standard, and it is estimated that no additional sources
per year will become subject to the standard.

There are approximately 33 beryllium facilities in the United States,
which are owned and operated by the beryllium industry.  None of the 33
facilities in the United States are owned by state, local, tribal or the
Federal government.  They are owned and operated by privately owned
for-profit businesses.  You can find the burden to the “Affected
Public” listed below in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost -
NESHAP for Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C).  The Federal
government burden does not include work performed by Federal employees.
The burden refers only to work performed by contractors, which could be
found listed below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for
Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active
ICR without any “Terms of Clearance.”

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 HAP.  These standards are
applicable to new or existing sources of HAP and shall 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, beryllium emissions from extraction
plants, ceramic plants, foundries, incinerators, propellant plants and
machine shops which process beryllium ore, beryllium, beryllium oxide,
beryllium alloys, or beryllium-containing waste, 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 61, subpart C.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure
compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in
accordance with the Clean Air Act.  The collected information is also
used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected
facility’s initial capability to comply with the emission standard.
Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the
standard at all times.  During the performance tests, a record of the
operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded
and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission
monitor.

The notifications required in the standard 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
standards are being met.  The performance test may also be observed.

3.  Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part
61, subpart C.

3(a)  Nonduplication

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 their 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 (72 FR 10736) on March 9, 2007.
No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal
Register.

3(c)  Consultations

The Agency’s industry experts have been consulted, and the Agency’s
internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next
three years have been considered.  The primary source of information as
reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting
provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System
(OTIS) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.
OTIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval
of all compliance data.  The growth rate for the industry is based on
our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts.
Approximately 33 respondents will be subject to the standard over the
three year period covered by this ICR.

Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided
an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as
it was being developed and the standard has been previously reviewed to
determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes.

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received
since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the
First Federal Register Notice.

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 proper operation
and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting
violations would be less likely.

3(e)  General Guidelines

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

These standards require the respondents 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 the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations
on which the permit program is based.  The retention of records for five
years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any
pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of
enforcement action.  EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have
violations extending beyond the five years.  In addition, EPA would be
prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or
nonexistence of essential records.

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 contain sensitive
questions.

4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a)  Respondents/SIC Codes

The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are
beryllium.  The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
codes which correspond to the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes are found in the following table:

40 CFR part 61, subpart C	SIC Codes	NAICS Codes

Industrial Inorganic Chemicals, not elsewhere Classified	2819	325188

Primary Smelting and Refining of Nonferrous Metals, except Copper and
Aluminum	3339	331419

Nonferrous Foundries, except Aluminum and Copper	3369	331528

Industrial and Commercial Machinery and Equipment, not elsewhere
Classified	3599	332710

Refuse Systems	4953	562211

Refuse Systems	4953	562920

4(b)  Information Requested

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

(i)  Data Items

In this ICR, all the data recorded or reported is required by National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Beryllium (40 CFR
part 61, subpart C).

A source must make the following reports:

Notifications

Notification and application of construction or modification	61.07

Notification of actual startup	61.09(a)(2)

Notification of initial performance test	61.13(f) and 61.33(d)

Notification of emission tests	61.13(c) and 61.33(b)

Notification requesting approval to meet an ambient concentration limit
on beryllium in the vicinity of the stationary source (alternative
standard)	61.32(b)

Source status report for facilities complying by ambient monitoring, a
monthly report of all measured beryllium concentrations shall be
submitted to the administrator	61.10(a) and 61.34(d)

A source must keep the following records:

Recordkeeping

Startup, shutdown, malfunctions period where the continuous monitoring
system is inoperative due to maintenance and calibration, for changing
filters, or for replacement equipment needing major repairs.	61.34(b)

Emission tests results and other data needed to determine emissions.
61.13(g) and 61.34(c)

Records are required to be retained for 2 years	61.34(c)

Electronic Reporting

Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that
automatically records parameter data.  Although personnel at the
affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has
significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and
recordkeeping at a plant site.

Also, regulatory agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue
to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically.  However,
electronic reporting systems are still not widely used.  At this time,
it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use
electronic reporting.

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

For facilities that have elected to comply with an alternative ambient
air quality limit, install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a
continuous monitor in the vicinity of the affected facility to measure
beryllium concentrations.

For facilities complying by ambient monitoring, perform emission testing
to determine beryllium emissions to the atmosphere according to Method
104 or Method 103 (an alternative method needing approval) of appendix B
to part 61.

Write the notification 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.

Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.

	Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides
parameter data in an automated way e.g., continuous parameter monitoring
system.  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,
excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information
System (OTIS).

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.

Information contained in the reports is entered into OTIS which is
operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  OTIS is EPA’s
database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance
data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned
facilities.  EPA uses OTIS 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 two years.

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

The majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., 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 to be the minimum
requirements 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 in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for NESHAP for
Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C).

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
the subpart 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 2,627
(Total Labor Hours 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

Managerial 	$93.09     ($44.33 + 110%)

Technical	$64.13     ($30.54 + 110%)

Clerical	$39.65     ($18.88 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, June 2003, “Table 10. Private industry, 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 only cost to the regulated industry resulting from information
collection activities required by the subject standard is labor costs.
There are no capital/startup costs required for the purchase or the
installation of equipment because respondents comply by employing
pollution prevention measures.  The annual operation and maintenance
costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and other costs,
such as photocopying and postage.

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $0.  This is the total
of column D in the above table.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs consists of
photocopying, and postage are $35,000.  This is the total of column G.

The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is
estimated to be $35,000.

6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of
the reported information.  EPA's 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 $12,856.

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

Managerial	$54.02   (GS-13, Step 5, $33.76 + 60%)

Technical	$40.08   (GS-12, Step 1, $25.05 + 60%)

Clerical	$21.70   (GS-6, Step 3, $13.56 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
2004General 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 in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NESHAP for Beryllium
(40 CFR part 61, Subpart C), below.

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

	Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three
years, approximately 33 existing respondents will be subject to the
standard.  It is estimated that no additional sources per year will
become subject.  The overall average number of respondents, as shown in
the table below is 33 per year.

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

Number of Respondents

Year	(A)

Number of New Respondents 1	(B)

Number of Existing Respondents	(C)

Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit

1 New respondent include sources with constructed, reconstructed and
modified affected facilities.  In this standard existing respondents
submit initial notifications.

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 33.

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

The number of Total Annual Responses is 166.

The total annual labor costs are $166,160.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost -
NESHAP for Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C), below.

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

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the
respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively,
and summarized below.

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor costs are $166,160.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost:
NESHAP for Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C), below.  Furthermore,
the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 16 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity
are $35,000.  The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii),
Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is
estimated to be 329 labor hours at a cost of $12,856.  See Table 2.
Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Beryllium (40 CFR part 61,
subpart C), below.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to
the previous ICR.  This is due to two considerations.  First, the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years.  Secondly, the growth
rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is
no significant change in the overall burden.

Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is
no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the
previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden to
industry.

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 16 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’s 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  We have assumed that the average number of major sources that will be
subject to the rule will be 33 existing sources.  There are
approximately 236 existing sources subject to this rule, but of the
total number of existing sources, we have assumed that approximately 10
sources will elect to comply with this rule by monitoring ambient air
beryllium concentrations and the remaining 226 sources have elected to
comply with the rule by conducting a one-time only stack test.  We have
also assumed that 10 percent of the 226 sources (23 respondents) will
engage in an operational change that could potentially increase
beryllium emissions, thus, requiring sources to repeat the stack test,
and consequently will have recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
Therefore, there are 33 respondents for the purpose of determining the
recordkeeping and reporting burdens associated with this rule.

b  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $93.09 per hour for
Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $64.13 per hour for
Technical labor, and $39.65 per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates
are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, June 2003, (Table 10. Private industry, 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.

c  We have assumed that each respondent will take eight hours to
determine the emission level from the stack test.

d  We have assumed that each respondent will take two hours to write
notification report of stack test.

e  We have assumed that each respondent will take eight hours once per
month to write monthly ambient concentrations report.

f  We have assumed that each of the ten respondents will take fifteen
minutes each day to enter records of operating parameters and emissions
information.

be subject to the rule will be the 33 existing sources.  There are
approximately 236 existing sources subject to this rule, but of the
total number of existing sources, we have assumed that approximately 10

Therefore, there are 33 respondents for the purpose of determining the
recordkeeping and reporting burdens associated with this rule.

b  This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a
1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead
expenses:  Managerial

rate of $54.02 (GS-13, Step 5, $33.76 x 1.6), Technical rate of $40.08
(GS-12, Step 1, $25.05 x 1.6), and Clerical rate of $21.70 (GS-6, Step
3, $13.56 x 1.6).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) (2003 General Schedule( which excludes locality rates
of pay.

   c  We have assumed that each respondent will take two hours to review
the emission level determination/operational change report.

   d  We have assumed that each respondents will take two hours once per
month to review the monthly ambient concentrations report.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 17g-3; SEC File No. 270-565; OMB Control No. 3235-0626.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 17g-
3 (17 CFR 240.17g-3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17g-3 contains reporting requirements. The collection of
information obligations imposed by the rule is mandatory. The
requirements of Rule 17g-3, however, apply only to credit rating
agencies that are registered with the Commission as a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization (``NRSRO)'', and
registration is voluntary. Under Rule 17g-3 each NRSRO must submit
annual audited financial statements. The Commission previously
estimated that approximately 30 credit rating agencies would register
with the Commission as NRSROs under section 15E of the Exchange Act.\1\
Currently, there are nine credit rating agencies which have registered
with the Commission as NRSROs. Consequently, while the Commission
expects more credit rating agencies may become registered as NRSROs
over the next few years, the Commission believes that the estimated
number of ten NRSROs should be used for purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act. Thus, the Commission estimates that the adjusted current
industry-wide annual burden for Rule 17g-3 would be 2,033 hours, which
includes a one-time reporting burden for processing reports.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-5819; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-166-AD;
Amendment 39-18336; AD 2015-24-04]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440)
airplanes, CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702) airplanes,
CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes, CL-600-2D24 (Regional
Jet Series 900) airplanes, and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000)
airplanes. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections of the cage
assembly, window louver panel assemblies (WLPAs), and blowout panels
(BOPs), and corrective action if necessary. This AD was prompted by
reports of several

cases of damaged or detached decompression WLPAs and BOPs. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct damaged and detached WLPAs and
BOPs. A detached WLPA or BOP could delay smoke detection in the cargo
compartment, and in the event of a cargo compartment fire, this could
lead to an uncontrolled cargo compartment fire.

DATES: This AD becomes effective December 15, 2015.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of December 15,
2015.
    We must receive comments on this AD by January 14, 2016.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2015-28, dated October 21, 2015 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc Model CL-600-
2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 & 440) airplanes, CL-600-2C10 (Regional
Jet Series 700, 701 & 702) airplanes, CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series
705) airplanes, CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, and
CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Several cases of damaged decompression window louver panel
assemblies (WLPAs) have been reported in-service. Subsequent review
of in-service data also showed multiple reports of detached blowout
panels (BOPs). Damaged or detached WLPAs or BOPs create openings in
the cargo compartment.
    The presence of unintended openings on the WLPAs and BOPs could
delay smoke detection in the cargo compartment. In addition, the
cargo compartment may not be able to maintain Halon concentration
required for fire suppression. In the event of a cargo compartment
fire, this condition could lead to an uncontrolled cargo compartment
fire.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the repetitive inspection of the
affected WLPAs and BOPs.

    Required actions include repetitive detailed inspections for
damaged and detached WLPAs and BOPs. Corrective actions include repair.
You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-5819.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued the following service information:
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-25-201, dated July 21,
2015.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-25-100, dated July 21,
2015.
    The service information describes procedures for repetitive
detailed inspections for damage of the cage assembly, WLPAs, and BOPs,
and repair and replacement of damaged parts. This service information
is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section of this AD.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because a
detached WLPA or BOP could delay smoke detection in the cargo
compartment, and in the event of a cargo compartment fire, this could
lead to an uncontrolled cargo compartment fire. Therefore, we
determined that notice and opportunity for public comment before
issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for making
this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2015-5819; Directorate
Identifier 2015-NM-166-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this 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 AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 986 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $167,620, or $170 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

Furnishings.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of several cases of damaged or
detached decompression WLPAs and BOPs. We are issuing this AD to
detect and correct damaged and detached WLPAs and BOPs. A detached
WLPA or BOP could delay smoke detection in the cargo compartment,
and in the event of a cargo compartment fire, this could lead to an
uncontrolled cargo compartment fire.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Repetitive Inspections and Repair

    Within 100 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, do
the actions in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, as applicable.

airplanes: Do a detailed inspection of the cage assembly for damage
(including bent and damaged vertical and horizontal guard rails), do
a detailed inspection of the WLPAs to detect discrepancies
(including dents, bends, and deformations, and inadequate
clearances), and do all applicable corrective actions, in accordance
with the Accomplishment Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin
601R-25-201, dated July 21, 2015, except as required by paragraph
(h) of this AD. Do all applicable corrective actions before further
flight. Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed
100 flight hours.
    (2) For Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702)

Jet Series 1000) airplanes: Do a detailed inspection of the cage
assembly to detect damage (including bent or deformed tubing and
frame, broken joints), and do a detailed inspection of the WLPAs to
detect damage (including bent support pins and louver panels;
inadequate clearances; and missing, torn, or unbonded fire blocking
fabric and foams), and do a detailed inspection of the BOPs to
detect damage (including bends, dents, punctures, and deformations;
inadequate sealing tape; and a loose or frayed jumper), and do all
applicable corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-25-100, dated July
21, 2015, except as required by paragraph (h) of this AD. All
applicable corrective actions must be done before further flight.
Repeat the inspections thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100
flight hours.

(h) Exceptions to Service Information Specifications

    Where Bombardier Service Bulletin 601R-25-201, dated July 21,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On December 27, 2015, the Bucksport Marina notified the Coast Guard
that it will sponsor a series of drag boat races from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
on September 10, 2016 and September 11, 2016. In response, on July 10,
2016, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
titled Bucksport/Lake Murray Drag Boat Fall Nationals, Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway; Bucksport, SC, 81 FR 44815. There we stated why
we issued the NPRM, and invited comments on our proposed regulatory
action related to this special local regulation. During the comment
period that ended August 10, 2016, we received no comments.
    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective
date of this rule would be impracticable due to the date of the event.
The Coast Guard did not receive any adverse comments during the period
outlined in the NPRM with regard to this rule.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 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 Bucksport/Lake Murray Drag Boat
Fall Nationals, a series of high speed boat races.

IV. Discussion of Comments, Changes, and the Rule

    As noted above, we received no comments on our NPRM published July
10, 2016. There are no changes in the regulatory text of this rule from
the proposed rule in the NPRM. This rule establishes a special local
regulation on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Busksport, South
Carolina during the Bucksport/Lake Murray Drag Boat Fall Nationals on
September 10 and September 11, 2016. The special local regulation will
be enforced daily from 1 p.m. until 7 p.m. on September 10 and
September 11, 2016. Approximately 50 powerboats are expected to
participate in the races and approximately 35 spectator vessels are
expected to attend the event.
    Except for those persons and vessels participating in the drag boat
races, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting
through, anchoring in, or remaining within any of the race areas unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston or a
designated representative. Persons and vessels desiring to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within any of the race areas may
contact the Captain of the Port Charleston by telephone at (843) 740-
7050, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16, to
request authorization. If authorization to enter, transit through,

anchor in, or remain within the race areas is granted by the Captain of
the Port Charleston or a designated representative, all persons and
vessels receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions
of the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated representative.
The Coast Guard will provide notice of the regulated areas by Local
Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and on-scene
designated representatives.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing
rules, and of promoting flexibility. This rule has not been designated
a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866.
Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget. This 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 rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) The special local regulation would be enforced
for only six hours a day over a two-day period; (2) although persons
and vessels would not be able to enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the regulated area without authorization from the Captain
of the Port Charleston or a designated representative, they would be
able to operate in the surrounding area during the enforcement periods;
(3) persons and vessels would still be able to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the regulated area if authorized by the
Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated representative; and (4)
the Coast Guard will provide advance notification of the regulated area
to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners, Broadcast
Notice to Mariners, and on-scene designated representatives.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. 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.
    This rule may affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: the owner or operators of vessels intending to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area during
the enforcement period. For the reasons discussed in Regulatory
Planning and Review section above, this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of 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 rule. 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 the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    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.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

E. 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined 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
rule involves a special local regulation issued in conjunction with a
regatta or marine parade. This rule is categorically

excluded from further review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction.
    An 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 rule.

G. Protest Activities

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

RE: Another question re: NSPS for EAF

Dr. Jones,   Attached please find the steel associations' answers to your questions on our proposed edits to the EAF NSPS.   I apologize again that it has taken so long to get these to you.    I'm hopeful we are now in a position to respond more quickly and am looking forward a continued dialogue.   As such, please let me know if you have questions about our responses.

To your questions below, please note that we believe there are two EAFs that remain subject to Subpart AA:
1.           Timken, Harrison, OH (confirmed through OH Title V permit database)
2.           Gerdau, Jackson Michigan (presently idled)

The EAFs at the Gerdau mills in Jackson, Tennessee; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Wilton, Iowa are all now subject to Subpart AAa.
You are correct that the EAF at Alton Steel is not subject to the NSPS.   I will need to get back to you regarding the EAF at the Beaumont, Texas mill.  That mill is identified below as owned by Gerdau in your table below.  It has since been acquired by Opimus Steel.  I've reached out to the company to see if they have become subject to Subpart AAa and will get back to you.   I will also need to get back to your more recent email asking the steel associations to review and suggest revisions to the spreadsheet of domestic EAFs subject to the NSPS.   The steel associations are reviewing the lists and reaching out to member companies.   I will compile those answers/insights and get them to you as quickly as possible.

Thanks again for your patience.  Once you have reviewed our edits, I would like to schedule a zoom conference with you and the representatives of the steel associations to discuss our proposed edits, any other input EPA has received on the Subpart AAa review, and to better understand the Agency's overall process/information needs.   Please let me know if you are amenable to such a meeting.

Thanks again and be well,
Wayne

Happy New Year Dr. Jones.   I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.  I confess the delay was very much my doing.  I had an incredibly busy January and didn't take the time necessary to finish gathering feedback from the three associations and their members.  I will be able to do so on Monday (2/8) or shortly after.  We've finally managed to schedule a conference with all the relevant associations and facility personnel.  I expect that the our industry conference on Monday will provide the remaining input I need to send you a response.  I'm also hoping that our conference will allow us to nail down an approach that will allow me to provide you future responses more quickly.

To your performance test question:  Yes, In my experience, EAF mills use Method 5 when conducting performance tests on negative pressure baghouse and 5D for positive pressure baghouses.  I'm not aware of state-by-state variability, but will ask this question as well during the steel industry's conference on Monday.

Thank you again for your patience and please let me know if you need anything else.  I hope to get you answers to all your questions very soon.

Best,
Wayne

Happy New Year to everyone. Hope everyone is still doing well. I wanted to check to see if you had heard back from the facilities yet on our regulation questions, but also to ask another question.

Do EAF facilities perform EPA Method 5 PM testing for baghouse performance to meet the gr/dscf NSPS limit (and subpart 5Y NESHAP limit) as part of their permit (Title V?) renewals? I realize this might vary by state, so if you don't know for sure, what is your general collective sense of the testing frequency for the permits?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with my questions.

Dr. Jones,   Happy holidays.  Offhand, your information appears correct, but I will need to get back to you on the facilities that comply with AA vs. AAa.  I will also provide you an answer on the applicability of the edits.  Thanks very much and happy holidays to you and yours.

Wayne, et al  -  Another question or two. Do your edits also apply to subpart AA, if similar language is there? It would be easier for me to not include AA but I can do it if you think some facility would benefit.

Also, do you know approximately how many facilities comply with subpart AA (built before 8.17.1983 but after 10.21.1974)? From my records, which I have thanks to the EPA ICR and SMA facility list updates (the latest of which was in 2018), I know of three facilities subject to AA, listed below .
