Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 244 / Tuesday, December 22, 2009 / Notices
II. Information Required for Essential
Use Applications for Production or
Import of Class I Substances in 2011
and 2012
Through this action, EPA requests
applications for essential use
exemptions for all class I substances,
except methyl bromide, for calendar
years 2011 and 2012. This notice is the
last opportunity to submit new or
revised applications for 2011. This
notice is also the first opportunity to
submit requests for 2012. Companies
will have an opportunity in 2010 to
submit new, supplemental, or amended
applications for 2012. All requests for
exemptions submitted to EPA should
present information as requested in the
current version of the TEAP-Handbook
on Essential Use Nominations, which
was updated in 2005. The handbook is
available electronically on the Web at
https://ozone.unep.org/teap/Reports/
TEAP_Reports/EUN-Handbook2005.pdf.
In brief, the TEAP Handbook states
that applicants should present
information on:
• Role of use in society;
• Alternatives to use;
• Steps to minimize use;
• Recycling and stockpiling;
• Quantity of controlled substances
requested; and
• Approval date and indications (for
MDIs).
In addition, entities should address the
following points to ensure that their
applications are clear and complete.
First, entities that request CFCs for
multiple companies should clearly state
the amount of CFCs requested for each
company. Second, all essential use
applications for CFCs should provide a
breakdown of the quantity of CFCs
necessary for each MDI product to be
produced. This detailed breakdown will
allow EPA and FDA to make informed
decisions regarding the amount of CFCs
to be nominated by the U.S.
Government for the years 2011 and
2012. Third, all new drug application
(NDA) holders for CFC MDI products
produced in the United States should
submit a complete application for
essential use allowances either on their
own or in conjunction with their
contract filler. In the case where a
contract filler produces a portion of an
NDA holder’s CFC MDIs, the contract
filler and the NDA holder should
determine the total amount of CFCs
necessary to produce the NDA holder’s
entire product line of CFC MDIs. The
NDA holder should provide an estimate
of how the CFCs would be split between
the contract filler and the NDA holder
in the allocation year. This estimate will
be used only as a basis for determining
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
the nomination amount, and may be
adjusted prior to allocation of essential
use allowances. Since the U.S.
Government does not forward
incomplete or inadequate nominations
to the Ozone Secretariat, it is important
for applicants to provide all information
requested in the Handbook, including
comprehensive information pertaining
to the research and development of
alternative CFC MDI products per
Decision VIII/10, para. 1 as specified in
the Supplement to Nomination Request
(pg. 46).
Finally, consistent with Decision XIX/
13 taken in September 2007 at the 19th
Meeting of the Parties, when requesting
essential use CFCs for MDIs, applicants
should provide the following
information: (1) The company’s
commitment to the reformulation of the
concerned products; (2) the timetable in
which each reformulation process may
be completed; and (3) evidence that the
company is diligently seeking approval
of any CFC-free alternative(s) in its
domestic and export markets and
transitioning those markets away from
its CFC products.
The accounting framework matrix in
the Handbook (Table IV) entitled
‘‘Reporting Accounting Framework for
Essential Uses Other Than Laboratory
and Analytical Applications’’ requests
data for the year 2009 on the amount of
ODSs exempted for an essential use, the
amount acquired by production, the
amount acquired by import and the
country(s) of manufacture, the amount
on hand at the start of the year, the
amount available for use in 2009, the
amount used for the essential use, the
quantity contained in exported
products, the amount destroyed, and the
amount on hand at the end of 2009.
Because all data necessary for
applicants to complete Table IV will not
be available until after the control
period ends on December 31, 2009,
companies should not include this chart
with their essential use applications in
response to this notice. Instead,
companies should report their data as
required by 40 CFR 82.13(u)(2) in
Section 5 of the report entitled
‘‘Essential Use Allowance Holders and
Laboratory Supplier Quarterly Report
and Essential Use Allowance Holder
Annual Report.’’ This form may be
found on EPA’s Web site at https://www.
epa.gov/ozone/record/downloads/
EssentialUse_ClassI.doc. EPA will then
compile each company’s responses and
complete the U.S Accounting
Framework for Essential Uses for
submission to the Parties to the
Montreal Protocol by the end of January
2010. EPA may also request additional
information from companies to support
PO 00000

the U.S. nomination using its
information gathering authority under
Section 114 of the Act.
EPA anticipates that the Parties’
review of MDI essential use requests
will focus extensively on the United
States’ progress in phasing out CFC
MDIs, including education programs to
inform patients and health care
providers of the CFC phaseout and the
transition to alternatives. Accordingly,
applicants are strongly advised to
present detailed information on these
educational programs, including the
scope and cost of such efforts and the
medical and patient organizations
involved in the work. In addition, EPA
expects that Parties will be interested in
research and development activities
being undertaken by MDI manufacturers
to develop and transition to alternative
CFC-free MDI products. To this end,
applicants are encouraged to provide
detailed information on these efforts.
Applicants should submit their
exemption requests to EPA as noted in
the ADDRESSES section above.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has approved the information
collection requirements contained in
this notice under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB
control number 2060–0170.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
In general, there is no need for
confidentiality.
Needs and Uses: The Federal
Communications Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is revising OMB
Control No. 3060–0678 to add the
following rule sections that were
previously included under OMB Control
No. 3060–1007: 47 CFR 25.113, 25.131,
25.154, 25.164 and 25.165.
Additionally, we are revising the
information collection to include the
respondents, annual burden hours and
annual costs associated with these rule
sections.
Upon OMB approval of the revisions
to this information collection, OMB
Control No. 3060–1007 also titled,
‘‘Streamlining and Other Revisions of
Part 25 of the Commission’s Rules’’ will
be discontinued.
Currently, OMB Control No. 3060–
0678 includes rule sections 47 CFR
25.110, 25.114, 25.115, 25.116, 25.117,
25.118 and 25.130. We will continue to
maintain these rule sections in the
information collection.
The information collection
requirements accounted for in this
collection are necessary to determine
the technical and legal qualifications of
applicants or licensees to operate a
station, transfer or assign a license, and
to determine whether the authorization
is in the public interest, convenience
and necessity. Without such
information, the Commission could not
determine whether to permit
respondents to provide
telecommunication services in the U.S.
Therefore, the Commission would be
unable to fulfill its statutory
responsibilities in accordance with the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, and the obligations imposed
on parties to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) Basic Telecom
Agreement.
