numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The EPA is required under
section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to
regulate volatile organic compound
emissions from the use of consumer and
commercial products. Pursuant to
section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a
list of consumer and commercial
products and a schedule for their
regulation (60 FR 15264). Automobile
refinish coatings were included on the
list, and the standards for such coatings
are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart
B. The reports required under the
standards enable EPA to identify all
coating and coating component
manufacturers and importers in the
United States and to determine which
coatings and coating components are
subject to the standards, based on dates
of manufacture.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average four hours per
response. Burden means the total time,

allowance allocations from the new unit
set-aside for units in these jurisdictions
whose owners and operators requested
these allocations and to provide the
public with the opportunity to object to
the allocation determinations. In this
NODA EPA is making available to the
public the emissions data and other
information upon which the allocations,
or denial of allocations, are based and
the CAIRNOX new unit set-aside
allowance allocation (if any) for each
individual unit.

CAIRNOX New Unit Set-Aside
Allowance Allocations?
1. General Information
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES4
Does this Action Apply to Me?
This NODA applies to CAIRNOX
units in Delaware and the District of
Columbia whose owners and operators
requested on or before May 3, 2010 a
2010 CAIRNOX allowance allocation
from the new unit set-aside.
What Should I Consider as I Prepare
and Submit any Objections for EPA?
When preparing and submitting an
objection, remember to:
(1) Identify the source (facility name,
plant code) and unit identification
number for which the objection is being
made;
(2) Make sure to submit your
objection by the deadline identified.
If you e-mail your objection, put
‘‘Objection for 2010 CAIRNOX New Unit
Set-aside’’ in the subject line to alert the
Administrator that an objection is
included. If mailing by courier, address
the package to Robert L. Miller, 1310 L
St., NW., Room 254B, Washington, DC
20005. Clearly mark any portion of the
information that you claim to be CBI.
For CBI in a disk or CD ROM that you
mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD ROM the specific information that is
claimed as CBI. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2. Send or deliver
information identified as CBI only to the
following address: Robert L. Miller, EPA
Headquarters, CAMD (6204J), 1200
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington
DC 20460.
2. What Is the Purpose of This NODA?
The purpose of this NODA is to make
all of the data upon which the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:55 Jun 28, 2010
Jkt 220001
allocations or denial of allocations are
based available to the public for
objection to ensure that the data on
which the applicable determination for
each unit is based are correct. Any
person objecting to any of the data
should explain the basis for his or her
objection, provide alternative data and
supporting documentation, and explain
why the alternative data are the best
available data. EPA will consider any
substantive objections to the data.
The provisions of § 97.142(c)—which
govern the submission of requests for
CAIRNOX allowance allocations from
the new unit set-aside and set forth the
criteria for qualification for, and the
methodologies for calculating, such
allocations for each individual unit—are
final and are described in this NODA
solely for informational purposes and
are not open for objection. However,
objections may be submitted concerning
whether EPA determined, in a manner
consistent with these rule provisions,
the CAIRNOX allowance allocation (if
any) from the new unit set-aside for
2010 for any unit for which such an
allowance allocation was requested. See
40 CFR 97.141(d).
3. What Are the Requirements for
Requesting and Receiving CAIRNOX
New Unit Set-Aside Allowances and the
Procedures for Allocating Such
Allowances?
EPA is administering the 2010
CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance
pools for Delaware and the District of
Columbia, which are comprised of a
maximum of 208 allowances for
Delaware and 7 allowances for the
District of Columbia. Under
§§ 97.142(c)(2) and 97.107(c), the
owners and operators of any unit for
which CAIRNOX new unit set-aside
allowances were sought for 2010 had to
submit to EPA a request for CAIRNOX
new unit set-aside allowance allocations
by May 3, 2010. Since May 1, which is
the generally applicable submission
date specified in § 97.142(c)(2), is
Saturday this year, the submission
deadline for 2010 is the next business
day, i.e., May 3, under § 97.107(c). The
owners and operators of a CAIRNOX
unit in Delaware or the District of
Columbia could request a CAIRNOX
new unit set-aside allowance allocation
if (1) the unit is subject to the
CAIRNOX, (2) the unit is not allocated
any CAIRNOX allowances under
§ 97.142(b) because it lacks a baseline
heat input or because all CAIRNOX
allowances available under § 97.142(b)
for the year have already been allocated,
and (3) the owners and operators of the
unit submitted a timely request by the
May 3, 2010 deadline. If a unit meets
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
these criteria, EPA determines the
allocation amount by determining the
2009 NOX mass emissions data reported
under 40 CFR part 75 for the unit during
the 2009 calendar year. Finally, EPA
makes any necessary adjustments under
§ 97.142(c)(4) to each such unit’s
allocation amount in order to ensure
that the total amount of CAIRNOX new
unit set-aside allowances allocated for
2010 does not exceed the amount of
allowances in the new unit set-aside for
2010.
4. How Is EPA Applying to Individual
CAIRNOX Units the Requirements for
Requesting and Receiving CAIRNOX
New Unit Set-Aside Allowance
Allocations?
On April 22, 2010 EPA sent an email—to the designated representatives,
alternate designated representatives,
and their respective agents of CAIRNOX
units in the District of Columbia and
Delaware—that provided instructions
on the proper submission of a request
for a CAIRNOX allowance allocation
from the new unit set-aside for 2010.
The April 22, 2010 e-mail explained
what data should be submitted with the
request and reminded addressees of the
May 3, 2010 deadline for such requests.
Among the data elements for a request
under § 97.142(c)(2) were the number of
allowances requested in an amount no
greater than the unit’s NOX emissions
for the 2009 calendar year. EPA received
timely requests for 2010 CAIRNOX new
unit set-aside allowance allocations for
10 CAIRNOX units in Delaware; no
requests were received for CAIRNOX
units in the District of Columbia.
The detailed unit-by-unit data,
allowance allocation determinations,
and calculations are set forth in a
technical support document, which is a
single Excel spreadsheet titled ‘‘2010
CAIRNOX FIP New Unit Set-Aside
Allocations Data’’ and is available on
EPA’s Web site at https://www.epa.gov/
airmarkets/cair/nox_annual_nusa/
index.html. EPA will publish a second
NODA, after the 30-day period for
submitting objections concerning this
NODA, in order to address any
objections and make any necessary
adjustments to the data published in
this NODA to ensure that EPA’s
allowance allocation determinations are
in accordance with § 97.142(c). EPA will
record, no later than December 1, 2010,
CAIRNOX allowance allocations from
the new unit set-aside for 2010 after
publication of the second NODA. See 40
CFR 97.153(e).

Practices Related to the Movement of
Household Goods or Personal
Property in U.S.-Foreign Oceanborne
Trades; Order of Investigation
Pursuant to the Shipping Act of 1984,
46 U.S.C. 40101 et seq. (‘‘Shipping Act’’),
the Federal Maritime Commission
(‘‘FMC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) is charged
with regulating the common carriage of
goods by water in the foreign commerce
of the United States (‘‘liner service’’). In
doing so, the Commission must be
mindful of the purpose of its regulation,
which includes protecting the public
from unlawful, unfair or deceptive
ocean transportation practices and
resolving shipping disputes in the
movement of cargo in U.S.-foreign
oceanborne trades.
Each year, the Commission receives a
substantial number of complaints from
individuals that have experienced
various problems with their
international household goods or
personal property shipments. Between
2005 and 2009, the Commission
received over 2,500 consumer
complaints related to household goods
moving companies transporting
household goods or personal property
between various locations in the United
States and foreign destinations. Many of
those complaints are filed by
individuals who are first-time or very
occasional users of international
shipping services. This issue is a serious
and substantial consumer protection
problem within the Commission’s area
of responsibility.
Typical complaints allege failure to
deliver the cargo and refusal to return
the pre-paid ocean freight; loss of the
cargo; significant delay in delivery;
charges to the shipper for marine
insurance that was never obtained;
misinformation as to the whereabouts of
the cargo; significantly inflated charges
after the cargo was tendered and threats
to withhold the shipment unless the
increased freight was paid; or failure to
pay the common carrier engaged by the
company as another intermediary. In
many cases, a shipper has been forced
to pay another carrier or warehouse a

2. What Is the Purpose of This NODA?
The purpose of this NODA is to make all of the data upon which the
allocations or denial of allocations are based available to the public
for objection to ensure that the data on which the applicable
determination for each unit is based are correct. Any person objecting
to any of the data should explain the basis for his or her objection,
provide alternative data and supporting documentation, and explain why
the alternative data are the best available data. EPA will consider any
substantive objections to the data.
The provisions of Sec. 97.142(c)--which govern the submission of
requests for CAIRNOX allowance allocations from the new unit set-aside
and set forth the criteria for qualification for, and the methodologies
for calculating, such allocations for each individual unit--are final
and are described in this NODA solely for informational purposes and
are not open for objection. However, objections may be submitted
concerning whether EPA determined, in a manner consistent with these
rule provisions, the CAIRNOX allowance allocation (if any) from the new
unit set-aside for 2010 for any unit for which such an allowance
allocation was requested. See 40 CFR 97.141(d).
3. What Are the Requirements for Requesting and Receiving CAIRNOX New
Unit Set-Aside Allowances and the Procedures for Allocating Such
Allowances?
EPA is administering the 2010 CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance
pools for Delaware and the District of Columbia, which are comprised of
a maximum of 208 allowances for Delaware and 7 allowances for the
District of Columbia. Under Sec. Sec. 97.142(c)(2) and 97.107(c), the
owners and operators of any unit for which CAIRNOX new unit set-aside
allowances were sought for 2010 had to submit to EPA a request for
CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance allocations by May 3, 2010. Since
May 1, which is the generally applicable submission date specified in
Sec. 97.142(c)(2), is Saturday this year, the submission deadline for
2010 is the next business day, i.e., May 3, under Sec. 97.107(c). The
owners and operators of a CAIRNOX unit in Delaware or the District of
Columbia could request a CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowance
allocation if (1) the unit is subject to the CAIRNOX, (2) the unit is
not allocated any CAIRNOX allowances under Sec. 97.142(b) because it
lacks a baseline heat input or because all CAIRNOX allowances available
under Sec. 97.142(b) for the year have already been allocated, and (3)
the owners and operators of the unit submitted a timely request by the
May 3, 2010 deadline. If a unit meets these criteria, EPA determines
the allocation amount by determining the 2009 NOX mass
emissions data reported under 40 CFR part 75 for the unit during the
2009 calendar year. Finally, EPA makes any necessary adjustments under
Sec. 97.142(c)(4) to each such unit's allocation amount in order to
ensure that the total amount of CAIRNOX new unit set-aside allowances
allocated for 2010 does not exceed the amount of allowances in the new
unit set-aside for 2010.
4. How Is EPA Applying to Individual CAIRNOX Units the Requirements for
Requesting and Receiving CAIRNOX New Unit Set-Aside Allowance
Allocations?
On April 22, 2010 EPA sent an e-mail--to the designated
representatives, alternate designated representatives, and their
respective agents of CAIRNOX units in the District of Columbia and
Delaware--that provided instructions on the proper submission of a
request for a CAIRNOX allowance allocation from the new unit set-aside
for 2010. The April 22, 2010 e-mail explained what data should be
submitted with the request and reminded addressees of the May 3, 2010
deadline for such requests. Among the data elements for a request under
Sec. 97.142(c)(2) were the number of allowances requested in an amount
no greater than the unit's NOX emissions for the 2009
calendar year. EPA received timely requests for 2010 CAIRNOX new unit
set-aside allowance allocations for 10 CAIRNOX units in Delaware; no
requests were received for CAIRNOX units in the District of Columbia.
The detailed unit-by-unit data, allowance allocation
determinations, and calculations are set forth in a technical support
document, which is a single Excel spreadsheet titled ``2010 CAIRNOX FIP
New Unit Set-Aside Allocations Data'' and is available on EPA's Web
site at https://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/cair/nox_annual_nusa/. EPA will publish a second NODA, after the 30-day period for
submitting objections concerning this NODA, in order to address any
objections and make any necessary adjustments to the data published in
this NODA to ensure that EPA's allowance allocation determinations are
in accordance with Sec. 97.142(c). EPA will record, no later than
December 1, 2010, CAIRNOX allowance allocations from the new unit set-
aside for 2010 after publication of the second NODA. See 40 CFR
97.153(e).
