Notice of Filing of Settlement Agreement Pursuant to Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 70686-70687 [2010-29073]

Download as PDF 70686 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 222 / Thursday, November 18, 2010 / Notices directed by a resolution? The NIGC recognizes the many differences in Tribal government structures. However, would a universal standard for communication that can then be modified by each Tribe if they so choose promote more effective regulatory communication? The Commission is seeking comment on whether the Commission should consider a regulation on this issue, how the Commission should prioritize it in the regulatory review process, and whether the Commission should utilize standard notice and comment rulemaking, a Tribal Advisory Committee to assist in its regulatory review of this part, or another process. Further, the NIGC invites comment on whether to define the types of communication that occur between the NIGC and the Tribe and Tribal agencies. For example, a letter from the Chairperson regarding upcoming Tribal consultations, proposed broad policy changes or Notice of Violation could be considered a form of ‘‘formal communication.’’ Additionally, a letter from a Tribal chairperson requesting a meeting or a request from the Tribe for the NIGC to perform an audit could also be ‘‘formal communication.’’ However, the NIGC understands that communications between the NIGC and the Tribe, TGC, and TGRA may not be occurring in a uniform manner and wants to provide clarity for all the parties. The NIGC welcomes any comment or suggestions regarding whether the clarification is needed and if it should be formalized into a regulation or policy. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES D. Buy Indian Act Regulation The Commission is considering adopting a regulation which would require the NIGC to give preference to qualified Indian-owned businesses when purchasing goods or services as defined by the ‘‘Buy Indian Act,’’ 25 U.S.C. 47. As an agency with regulatory responsibilities wholly related to Tribes, the Commission seeks comment on whether it is appropriate to promulgate such a regulation. The Commission is seeking advice and input from the Tribal gaming industry about this issue, and whether a Tribal Advisory Committee should be formed to make the change or if another process will be sufficient. VI. Other Regulations A. Part 501—Purpose and Scope The NIGC does not believe this regulation is currently in need of revision.

Sections 571.12–571.14—Annual Audits The NIGC does not believe these regulations are currently in need of revision. However, we are interested in hearing any comments or suggestions related to possible revisions to these sections. K. Part 575—Civil Fines The NIGC does not believe these regulations are currently in need of revision. While the Commission was interested in seeing Tribal dollars paid as a fine for a regulation violation returned to the Tribes by funding the Commission activities, Federal law prohibits an agency from keeping fines received from entities it regulates, and fines are deposited in the U.S. Treasury. The view is that regulatory agencies would then have an incentive to issue violations. However, we are interested in hearing any comments or suggestions related to possible revisions to this part.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). Paragraph (b)(3) of the Standard specifies that systems have nameplates if required, and that these nameplates ‘‘be permanently attached to the system (as specified by paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(j)) so as to be readily accessible for inspection * * * ’’ In addition, this paragraph requires that markings on containers and systems covered by paragraphs (c) (‘‘Systems utilizing stationary, nonrefrigerated storage containers’’), (f) (‘‘Tank motor vehicles for the transportation of ammonia’’), (g) (‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles other than for the application of ammonia’’), and (h) (‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles for the application of ammonia’’) provide information regarding nine specific characteristics of the containers and systems. Similarly, paragraph (b)(4) of the Standard specifies that refrigerated containers be marked with a nameplate on the outer covering in an accessible place which provides information regarding eight specific characteristics of the container. The required markings ensure that employers use only properly designed and tested containers and systems to store anhydrous ammonia, thereby, preventing accidental release of, and exposure of workers to, this highly toxic E:\FR\FM\18NON1.SGM 18NON1
