Emission Guidelines for Existing Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart FFFF) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The Emission Guidelines for Existing Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart FFFF) were proposed on December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71472), promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74892), and amended on November 24, 2006 (71 FR 67806). Under the proposed rule, the Emission Guidelines apply to any air quality program in either a state or a United States protectorate with one or more existing OSWI units or air curtain incinerators that commenced construction either on or before December 9, 2004. The affected OSWI units include two additional sub-categories: very small municipal waste combustion (VSMWC) units that combust less than 35 tons per day (TPD) of waste and institutional waste incineration (IWI) units. This Subpart does not directly affect incineration unit owners and operators; however, they must comply with the states plan that was developed by the air quality program administrator to implement the emission guidelines. On August 31, 2020, the EPA published a proposed rule in the Federal Register for the OSWI NSPS and EG rules that addressed the requisite CAA section 129(a)(5) periodic review (85 FR 54178), as well as other proposed changes to the standards. The EPA is finalizing its CAA section 129(a)(5) review, including our determination that there are no developments in practices, processes, or control technologies that warrant revisions to the OSWI standards and requirements. The EPA is finalizing certain other revisions, including the addition of a subcategory of new VSMWC or IWI units that have a capacity to combust less than 10 TPD of waste that are constructed on or after August 30, 2020, including changes to applicability-related and definitional changes; changes to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions; changes to testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; and other miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The EPA is also finalizing electronic reporting requirements for submittal of certain reports and performance test results. This ICR includes the burden associated with the existing rule requirements and the incremental burden associated with the final rule. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart FFFF.

NSPS for Surface Coating of Plastic Parts for Business Machines (40 CFR part 60, subpart TTT) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

In this ICR, the EPA estimates additional one-time respondent burden of 2 labor hours in the first year following promulgation of the subject amendments to provide for becoming familiar with the amendments to NSPS subpart TTT and becoming familiar with the CDX and CEDRI systems associated with electronic submission of reports. These amendments will not impact the burden on respondents in later years because they do not impose additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements. The total estimated respondent burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens is based on 10 respondents (a larger number than the three respondents counted in this ICR). The downward adjustment in the number of respondents for this ICR, based on the EPAs most recent information, is reflected in Attachment 1 to this ICR Supporting Statement.

26 U.S. Code § 475 - Mark to market accounting method for dealers in securities

Key Information

Abstract

Section 475 was added by section 13223(a) of the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993, Pub. L. 103-66, 107 Stat.481, and is effective for all taxable years ending on or after December 31, 1993. The statutory requirements under 26 U.S.C. 475 are codified under 26 CFR Part 1, sections 1.475 et al. Information collection requirements under § 1.475(a)-4 sets forth an elective safe harbor that permits dealers in securities and dealers in commodities to elect to use the values of positions reported on certain financial statements as the fair market values of those positions for purposes of section 475 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). This safe harbor is intended to reduce the compliance burden on taxpayers and to improve the administrability of the valuation requirement of section 475. The recordkeeping requirement under section 1.475(b)-4 are required to determine whether exemption from mark- to-market treatment is properly claimed, and will be used to make that determination upon audit of taxpayer's books and records. The information under section 1.475(c)-1(a)(3)(iii), is necessary to determine whether a consolidated group has elected to disregard inter-member transactions in determining a member's status as a dealer in securities.

NESHAP for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) were promulgated on May 20, 1999; and amended on: March 22, 2001; June 23, 2003; April 20, 2006; June 30, 2015 (80 FR 37366); January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5408), and November 19, 2020 (85 FR 73902). These regulations apply to both new and existing ferroalloy production facilities that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese, and that are either major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions or are co-located at major sources of HAPs. The following affected facilities at ferroalloy production plants are subject to this NESHAP rule: electric arc furnaces; casting operations; metal oxygen refining (MOR) processes; crushing and screening operations; and outdoor fugitive dust sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The burden in this ICR reflects the burden associated with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the regulation for new and existing sources included in the June 30, 2015 Risk and Technology Review (RTR) final rule amendments and January 18, 2017 reconsideration notice. The burden associated with the 2015 final rule amendments and reconsideration notice is accounted for in EPA ICR No. 2448.02 (OMB Control No. 2060-0676). The 2020 amendment implemented the plain language reading of the “major source” and “area source” definitions of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and provide that a major source can be reclassified to area source status at any time upon reducing its potential to emit (PTE) hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to below the major source thresholds and required this notification be submitted electronically. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX.  In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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 affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

Previously, the EPA issued New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC) and Emission Guidelines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD) for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units as promulgated on December 1, 2000 (65 FR 75338) and March 21, 2011 (76 FR 15769), and subsequently amended on: February 7, 2013 (78 FR 9195); June 23, 2016 (81 FR 41001); April 16, 2019 (84 FR 15846); and Oct. 7, 2020 (85 FR 63406) . The Emission Guidelines apply to any air quality program in either a state or a United States protectorate with one or more existing CISWI units. The guidelines can be thought of as model regulations that States use in developing State plans to implement the Emission Guidelines. If a state does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable state plan, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develops a Federal plan to implement the Emission Guidelines. The EPA previously promulgated a Federal Plan for CISWI units subject to the December 1, 2000 final rule on October 3, 2003 (68 FR 57518) under 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart III. On January 11, 2017, the EPA proposed amendments to the Federal plan requirements at 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart III to implement the regulations at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD adopted on February 7, 2013, and as amended on June 23, 2016, and April 16, 2019. The EPA is subsequently finalizing the revised Federal Plan under new subpart 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart IIIa. Following the effective date of the final rule, the requirements of 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart III will no longer be in effect and all existing units subject to the Federal Plan must meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart IIIa. These regulations will apply to existing CISWI units (units that commenced construction on or before June 4, 2010, or commenced modification or reconstruction after June 4, 2010 but no later than August 7, 2013) that are not regulated by an EPA approved and currently effective State or Tribal plan, or that are located in any state whose approved State or Tribal plan is only approved in part. Since EPA is finalizing the updated Federal plan at 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart IIIa, following the effective date of the final rule, all respondents previously subject to Subpart DDDD are now subject to either a State plan implementing 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD or are subject to the Federal plan under 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart IIIa, or if they have modified since August 7, 2013, they are subject to the NSPS at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart CCCC. This information is thus being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD and 40 CFR Part 62, Subpart IIIa. The Federal Plan implements the Emissions Guidelines at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD. In general, all Emissions Guidelines require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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 affected facilities subject to Emission Guidelines.

Incidental Take of Marine Mammals During Specified Activities (50 CFR 18.27 and 50 CFR 18, Subpart J)

Key Information

Abstract

The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) imposed, with certain exceptions, a moratorium on the taking of marine mammals. Section 101(a)(5)(A) of the MMPA directs the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to allow, upon request by citizens of the United States, the taking of small numbers of marine mammals incidental to specified activities (other than commercial fishing) if the Secretary makes certain findings and prescribes specific regulations that, among other things, establish permissible methods of taking. Once the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service or we) issue specific regulations, applicants seeking to conduct activities must request a Letter of Authorization (LOA) for the specific activity and submit onsite monitoring reports and a final report of the activity to the Secretary. Procedural regulations outlining the requirements for the submission of a request are contained in 50 CFR 18.27. We request OMB approval of the specific regulations governing authorized incidental take of marine mammals activities as separate control numbers for each subpart to facilitate simultaneous rulemaking actions when we receive applications for an ITR.

Medical Expenditure Panel Survey - Insurance Component (MEPS-IC)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2021 employer-sponsored health insurance was the source of coverage for 90.5 million current and former workers, plus many of their family members, and is a cornerstone of the U.S. health care system. The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey – Insurance Component (MEPS-IC) measures the extent, cost, and coverage of employer-sponsored health insurance on an annual basis. These statistics are produced at the National, State, and sub-State (metropolitan area) level for private industry. Statistics are also produced for State and Local governments. This research has the following goals: 1) to provide data for Federal policymakers evaluating the effects of National and State health care reforms. 2) to provide descriptive data on the current employer-sponsored health insurance system and data for modeling the differential impacts of proposed health policy initiatives. 3) to supply critical State and National estimates of health insurance spending for the National Health Accounts and Gross Domestic Product.
