Injurious Wildlife; Importation Certification for Live Fish and Fish Eggs (50 CFR 16.13)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection is necessary to assure the safety of our commercial and natural aquatic resources against the introduction into the United States of injurious fish species or their eggs, while still allowing for importation of those species and eggs if deemed safe and appropriate. Information gathered via forms authorized under this collection are used by the aquaculture industry and the commercial and recreational fishing industry. The importation of salmonid without documentation of their health status poses an immediate risk to the wild fish populations in the United States. Salmonid fish containing the pathogens listed in statute pose an immediate threat to wild fish populations and therefore are considered injurious under the Lacey Act. Commerce in healthy fish is essential for the aquaculture and fishing industry in the United States. Without salmonid imports the aquaculture industry in the United States would suffer, as would scientific research and conservation efforts at research institutions and within State, Federal and Tribal agencies.

Emissions Certification and Compliance Requirements for Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines and On-Highway Heavy Duty Engines (Revision)

Key Information

Abstract

Title II of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA), charges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing certificates of conformity for those engines and vehicles that comply with applicable emission requirements. The emission values achieved during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The program allows engine manufacturers to bank credits for engine families that emit below the standard and use the credits to certify engine families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is voluntary. The CAA also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass-produced engines; and that these engines comply with emission standards throughout their useful lives. EPA verifies this through ‘Compliance Programs’ which include Production Line Testing (PLT), In-use Testing and Selective Enforcement Audits, (SEAs). In-use testing allows manufacturers and EPA to verify compliance with emission standards throughout an engine family’s useful life. Through SEAs, EPA verifies that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is reliable and testing is performed according to EPA regulations. Under the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM), NRCI equipment manufacturers were able to delay compliance with Tier 4 standards for up to seven years as long as they comply with certain limitations. The program, has ended for all power categories. This includes hardship relief. All TPEM forms, except the reporting templates and the bond worksheet are being retired in this action. Participants are required to keep records “for at least five full years after the final year in which allowances are available for each power category” (40 CFR 1039.625(h). The information requested is collected by the Compliance Division (CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation, EPA. CD uses this information to issue certificates of conformity and ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable regulations and the CAA. Some HD data is also used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to implement their programs under 49 USC 32902. EPA’s and NHTSA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance and the Department of Justice may use the information for enforcement purposes. Manufacturers may assert a claim of confidentiality over information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2.

Fuels Regulatory Streamlining (Non-Substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

This request for a non-substantive revision is related to sampling, testing, and record retention requirements related to fuels testing. The specific regulatory requirements are under subpart M of 40 CFR part 1090 for performance-based measurement systems (PBMS). The PBMS laboratory recordkeeping and reporting is included in the Detailed Burden Estimates, Appendix A, Tab 1 Fuel Manufacturers (lines 20-21). We had described the informational items clearly in the regulation and had described and estimated the burden associated with these items as CBP, in accordance with industry practice and regulatory requirements. However, after issuing the final rule, and after holding implementation workshops with industry post-final rule, we developed templates that contain all the requirements that laboratories can use. There is no burden change associated with these job aids, which should make recordkeeping and reporting easier for industry. Because they are written as spreadsheet templates, we wish to submit them to OMB as forms to display an OMB control number and expiration date.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Navigation Improvement Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

USACE operates, maintains, and improves much of the nation’s navigation infrastructure. This includes inland navigation infrastructure and coastal infrastructure. USACE conducts periodic navigation improvement studies to ensure continuity of operations now and into the future. To fully evaluate these studies, USACE needs data on the use of the Nation’s waterways, the extent of navigation inefficiencies, and anticipated changes in vessel operations and sizes. This information is used in planning studies to formulate and evaluate the projected benefits and impacts of alternatives. Navigation improvement studies conducted by USACE typically use empirical data provided by the USACE Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center; however, the impacts on waterway traffic of alternative capital and operations and maintenance investment strategies collected by these surveys will complement the empirical data.

NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPP) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating were proposed on December 4, 2002, promulgated on April 19, 2004, and revised or amended on April 26, 2004, April 20, 2006, December 22, 2006, and April 24, 2007. The NESHAP is codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPP. This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by the NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating, including activities added based on the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating applies to each new and existing affected source of HAP emissions at facilities that are major sources and that perform surface coating of plastic parts and products. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after December 4, 2002. As part of the RTR for the NESHAP for Plastic Parts and Products Surface Coating, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is not revising the emission limit requirements. The EPA is requiring periodic air emissions testing to measure organic HAP destruction or removal efficiency at the inlet and outlet of the add-on control device once every five years for existing and new surface coating affected sources using the emission rate with add-on controls compliance option. The EPA is revising the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) provisions of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rule and requiring the use of electronic data reporting for future performance test data submittals, notifications, and reports. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPP. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests (if sources are using add-on controls to demonstrate compliance), 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 deviation from an emission limitation (either a numerical emission limit, an operating limit, or an equipment or work practice standard), 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 the NESHAP.

NESHAP for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart HH) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH) were proposed on February 06, 1998, and promulgated on June 17, 1999, only for major sources. On July 8, 2005, a supplemental proposal was proposed for area sources with the final rule, effective date on January 03, 2007. The rule was subsequently amended on August 16, 2012 to include emission sources for which standards were not previously developed. These regulations apply to emission points located at both new and existing oil and natural gas production facilities that are both major and area sources. A major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is one that has the potential to emit 10 tons or more of any single HAP or 25 tons or more of total HAP per year; an area source is one with the potential to emit less than this. New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH. 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 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.

RD 1924 Construction Common Forms

Key Information

Abstract

The information collection under OMB Number 0575-New will enable the Agencies to effectively administer the policies, methods, and responsibilities in the planning and performing of construction and other development work for the related construction programs. The Rural Housing Service (RHS) is authorized under various sections of Title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, to provides financial assistance to construct, improve, alter, repair, replace, or rehabilitate dwellings, which will provide modest, decent, safe, and sanitary housing to eligible individuals in rural areas. The Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended, authorizes the credit programs of the RHS, RBCS and RUS to provide financial assistance for essential community facilities such as construction of community facilities and water and waste systems; and the improvement, development, and financing of businesses, industries, and employment. In several sections of both acts, loan limitations are established as percentages of development costs, requiring careful monitoring of those costs. Also, the Secretary is authorized to prescribe regulations to ensure that Federal funds are not wasted or dissipated and that construction will be undertaken economically and will not be of elaborate or extravagant design or materials. The collection of information covered by the forms allows for the planning and performing of construction and other development work. Information for the RD forms and their usage in this collection package are included in this supporting statement. The Agencies provide forms and/or guidelines to assist in the collection and submission of information; however, most of the information may be collected and submitted in the form and content which is accepted and typically used in normal conduct of planning and performing development work in private industry when a private lender is financing the activity. The information is usually submitted via hand delivery or U.S. Postal Service to the appropriate Agency office. Electronic submittal of information is also possible through e-mail or USDA’s Service Center eForms website.
