National Primary Drinking Water Regulation for Perchlorate (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to regulate perchlorate in drinking water distributed by public water systems (PWSs). The paperwork burden associated with this proposed rule consists of the burden imposed on systems to read and understand the perchlorate rule as well as the burden associated with certain new collections of information. Specifically, PWSs will have to assign personnel and devote resources to implement the rule, including collecting or compiling initial water samples and submitting this monitoring data to the State. In addition, PWSs will need to attend training sessions and receive technical assistance from their State during implementation of the perchlorate rule. Likewise, the paperwork burden for States include reading and understanding the perchlorate rule. States will have to adopt the NPDWR and develop programs to implement the rule. This may result in States modifying or updating their data systems while implementing the perchlorate rule. States will also have to provide staff with training and technical assistance as well as provide water systems with training and technical assistance for implementation of the perchlorate rule. The information collected under this ICR is critical to States and other authorized entities that have been granted primacy (i.e., primary enforcement authority) for the perchlorate rule. These authorized entities are responsible for overseeing the perchlorate rule implementation by certain PWSs within their jurisdiction. States would utilize these data to determine compliance. The collected information is also necessary for PWSs. PWSs would use these data to demonstrate compliance, communicate water quality information to consumers served by the water system and, if needed, assess treatment options, and operate and maintain installed treatment equipment. States would also be required to report a subset of these data to the EPA. The EPA would utilize the information to protect public health by ensuring compliance with the perchlorate rule, measuring progress toward meeting the perchlorate rule’s goals, and evaluating the appropriateness of State implementation activities.

Toxic Chemical Release Reporting (Non-substantive Change)

Key Information

Abstract

Pursuant to section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), certain facilities that manufacture, process, or otherwise use specified toxic chemicals in amounts above reporting threshold levels as provided in 40 CFR 372.25 must submit annually to EPA and to their designated state or Indian country officials toxic chemical release forms containing information specified by EPA; (see 42 U.S.C. 11023). In addition, pursuant to section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), facilities reporting under section 313 of EPCRA must also report pollution prevention and waste management data, including recycling information, for such chemicals; (see 42 U.S.C. 13106). EPA compiles and stores these reports in a publicly accessible database known as the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). Regulations at 40 CFR part 372, subpart B, require facilities that meet the above criteria to report annually. This ICR consolidates the following final rule ICRs titled Rule-Related ICR Amendment; Changes to Reporting Requirements for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances; Community Right-to-Know Toxic Chemical Release Reporting, Final Rule (RIN 2070-AK97) (OMB Control No. 2070-0225; EPA ICR No. 2724.02), Addition of Natural Gas Processing Facilities to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0206; EPA ICR No. 2560.02); and Parent Company Definition for TRI Reporting (Final Rule) (OMB Control No. 2070-0216; EPA ICR No. 2597.02) into this renewal ICR. Upon OMB approval of this ICR, EPA intends to discontinue OMB Control Nos. 2070-0225, 2070-0206, and 2070-0216.

Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Alien Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection was originally approved under emergency approval for six months, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13, because it is essential to the mission of the agency; the use of normal clearance procedures was reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information; and public harm was reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures were followed. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to license them and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network. This request is to continue data collection for all forms under this OMB number, including those approved under emergency approval. Minor revisions are proposed to a subset of the currently approved forms. Supporting Statement A sections A1, A2, A12 and A14 have been updated accordingly, and the proposed changes are described in section A15. ORR requests approval for a period of one year, during which time a more extensive revision request—with proposed revisions for all forms in this collection—will be finalized and submitted under normal Paperwork Reduction Act procedures.

NESHAP for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC) (Final Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC) were proposed on July 3, 2001 (66 FR 35325), promulgated on April 14, 2003 (68 FR 18007), and most-recently amended on August 2, 2005 (70 FR 44285). These regulations apply to pushing, soaking, quenching, and battery stacks on both existing and new coke oven batteries (coke plants) that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC. 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. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing these documents and retain the file for at least five years following the generation date of such maintenance reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. The final RTR amendments to the rule eliminate the startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) exemption; remove the SSM plan requirement; add electronic submittal of notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; add requirements for the control of mercury (Hg), total acid gases (hydrogen fluoride plus hydrogen chloride) (AG), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from pushing sources; Hg, particulate matter (PM), total AG, and HCN from battery stacks; Hg, PM, AG, total PAH from HRSG main stacks; and Hg PM, total AG, total PAH, and formaldehyde from HRSG bypass/waste heat stacks; and make technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged.

NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart L) (Proposed Rule)

Key Information

Abstract

The EPA promulgated the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category (40 CFR part 60, subpart L) on March 8, 1974. Subpart L as promulgated in 1974 regulates particulate matter (PM) emissions from blast and reverberatory furnaces and also specifies limits for visible emissions (opacity) for blast, reverberatory, and pot (refining) furnaces. The EPA amended Subpart L on October 10, 1975, to remove a provision providing that the failure to meet the NSPS emissions limits due to the presence of uncombined water in the stack gases was not considered a violation. Currently, there are 11 secondary lead smelting facilities in the United States and each facility operates furnaces that are subject to the PM and opacity limits specified in Subpart L. Section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA to review the NSPS at least every 8 years and to revise the standards of performance that are applicable to new, modified, and reconstructed sources, if appropriate, to reflect the best system of emissions reduction (BSER), accounting for the cost, environmental, and energy impacts associated with achieving the reduction. Based on the CAA Section 111 review of the NSPS for the secondary lead smelting source category, in the recent 2022 action the EPA proposed updates to Subpart L including revisions to the applicability dates and proposed revisions to the definitions of blast furnace, reverberatory furnace, and pot furnace to more closely align with the equipment definitions used in the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for secondary lead smelting (40 CFR part 63, Subpart X). Additionally, the EPA proposed requirements for periodic performance tests for PM and incorporated the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, including electronic reporting of performance tests, specified in NESHAP Subpart X to improve the consistency between the NSPS and NESHAP for secondary lead smelting facilities. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart L. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.

Stress Testing Recordkeeping and Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a rule that revises the FDIC’s requirements for stress testing by FDIC-supervised institutions, consistent with changes made by Section 401 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA). Specifically, the rule amends the FDIC’s existing stress testing regulations at 12 CFR Part 325 to change the minimum threshold for applicability from $10 billion to $250 billion, revises the frequency of required stress tests by FDIC-supervised institutions, and reduces the number of required stress testing scenarios from three to two. The rule also makes certain conforming and technical changes that were previously included in an April 2019 notice of proposed rulemaking that was superseded, in part, by the enactment of EGRRCPA. On May 17, 2012, the OCC, along with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (FRB), published guidance on the use of stress testing as a means to better understand the range of a banking organization’s potential risk exposures. The guidance provides an overview of how a banking organization should structure its stress testing activities to ensure they fit into the banking organization’s overall risk management program. The purpose of the guidance is to outline broad principles for a satisfactory stress testing framework and describe the manner in which stress testing should be used, that is as an integral component of risk management applicable at various levels of aggregation within a banking organization as well as a tool for capital and liquidity planning. While the guidance is not intended to provide detailed instructions for conducting stress testing for any particular risk or business area, it does include descriptions of several types of stress testing activities and how they may be most appropriately used by banking organizations. The guidance also does not explicitly address the stress testing requirements imposed upon certain companies by section 165(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act).

Recordkeeping for Timely Deposit Insurance Determination

Key Information

Abstract

When a bank fails, the FDIC must provide depositors insured funds ‘‘as soon as possible’’ after failure while also resolving the failed bank in the least costly manner. The 12 CFR Part 370 facilitates prompt payment of FDIC-insured deposits when large insured depository institutions fail. The rule requires insured depository institutions that have two million or more deposit accounts ("covered institutions"), to maintain complete and accurate data on each depositor’s ownership interest by right and capacity for all of the covered institution’s deposit accounts. The covered institutions are required to develop the capability to calculate the insured and uninsured amounts for each deposit owner, by ownership right and capacity, for all deposit accounts. This data would be used by the FDIC to make timely deposit insurance determinations in the event of a covered insured depository institution’s failure.

Certification of Glazing Materials

Key Information

Abstract

FRA’s Safety Glazing Standards (49 CFR part 223) provides the minimum requirements for glazing materials in order to protect railroad employees and railroad passengers from injury as a result of objects striking the windows of locomotives, caboose and passenger cars. Part 223 also outlines additional requirements for emergency window exits and window safety glazing on passenger equipment. The information collected under § 223.3(c), requires marked tools for each locomotive, passenger cars, and cabooses built after 1945, used exclusively for excursion, educational, recreational, or private transportation. The tool or other instrument may be used to remove or break an emergency window if the tool or other instrument is clearly marked, and legible and understandable instructions are provided for its use. This collection of information is mandatory, collected as needed, and it involves both reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Essential Community Provider Data Collection to Support QHP Certification (CMS-10561)

Key Information

Abstract

For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to collect more complete provider data for inclusion on the HHS Essential Community Provider (ECP) list to ensure a more accurate reflection of the universe of qualified available ECPs in a given service area that can be counted toward an issuer's satisfaction of the ECP standard. The HHS will collect data on qualified and available ECPs from providers. Providers will submit an ECP petition to be added to the HHS ECP list or provide required missing data fields to remain on the list. The degree of provider participation in this data collection effort through the ECP provider petition will help inform HHS's future proposals for counting issuers' ECP write-ins toward satisfaction of the ECP standard.
