Environmental Impacts Statements; Notice of Availability, 51972-51973 [2011-21223]

Download as PDF 51972 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 161 / Friday, August 19, 2011 / Notices jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES The mandatory information is reported using standardized forms and annual reports, and the regulations are codified at 40 CFR Parts 144 through 148. The data are used by UIC authorities to ensure the protection of underground sources of drinking water. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2.32 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 53,772. Frequency of response: annual, semiannual, and quarterly. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 10.39. Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,296,167 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $194,842,061. This includes an estimated burden cost of $54,384,103 and an estimated cost of $140,457,959 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is an increase of 233,836 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects a variety of adjustments and program changes. Most of the burden increase is due to increases in the inventory of injection wells and the number of permit applications and mechanical integrity tests submitted by operators and reviewed by permitting authorities. Other changes and adjustments relate to reduced activities associated with the Florida Class I Rule and the 1999 Class V Rule, addition of burden associated with the 2010 Class VI Rule, granting of VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:32 Aug 18, 2011 Jkt 223001 primacy to two Tribes, and burden reduction associated with electronic reporting via the National UIC database. What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: August 15, 2011. Ronald W. Bergman, Acting Director, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Regional Administrator of EPA Region 10 is hereby granting a waiver request from the Buy American requirements of ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(1). This waiver request is being granted because EPA believes it is in the public interest to allow Mason County, Washington (the County) to utilize and install six specific turbo aeration blower units as part of the County’s Belfair Wastewater and Water Reclamation Facilities project. This is a project specific waiver and only applies to the use of the specified product for the ARRA project being proposed. Any other ARRA recipient that wishes to use the same product must apply for a separate waiver based on project specific circumstances. The Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) system was selected and procured by the County in 2008 using non-ARRA funding and prior to enactment of ARRA. However, since the MBR equipment is being installed by an ARRA funded contract, the new Buy American requirements of ARRA apply. As ARRA was enacted after the County’s procurement actions, the County could not be aware of the need to purchase and install a Buy American compliant MBR system and could not reasonably foresee the need for a waiver. Requiring the installation of domestically manufactured turbo aeration blower units will extend the time frame of the project significantly (by at least four months), due to the redesign, procurement, submittal delivery, submittal review, fabrication, delivery, and replacement of the aeration blower installation at the construction site. Redesign, reconstruction, and replacement of the blowers will likely cost at least an additional $620,000 and could also void the three year manufacturer warranty for the MBR that is valid only if system components identified in the manufacturer’s proposal are utilized. A significant delay in the project schedule could push the project past the anticipated September 2011 project completion into the fall rainy season, and could cause runoff over areas of SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 51973 failing septic systems and pose a risk to environmental and water quality protection. This additional cost and delay is inconsistent with the public interest, and a waiver of the Buy American provisions in these circumstances is justified. This action allows the installation of the six specified turbo aeration blower units that have already been delivered to the construction site as noted in Mason County’s May 27, 2011, request and additional follow up documentation. DATES: Effective Date: August 9, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bryan Fiedorczyk, CWSRF ARRA Program Management Analyst, Grants and Strategic Planning Unit, Office of Water & Watersheds (OWW), (206) 553– 0506, U.S. EPA Region 10 (OWW–137), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 900, Seattle, WA 98101. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with ARRA Section 1605(c), the EPA hereby provides notice that it is granting a project waiver of the requirements of Section 1605(a) of Public Law 111–5, Buy American requirements, to Mason County, Washington, for the utilization and installation of six specific turbo aeration blower units as part of the County’s Belfair Wastewater and Water Reclamation Facilities project. Based on the information provided by the County and its consultant project manager, EPA has determined that it is inconsistent with the public interest for the County to further delay the project and incur significant additional costs to pursue the purchase and installation of domestic manufactured turbo aeration blower units. Section 1605 of the ARRA requires that none of the appropriated funds may be used for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public building or a public works project unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States, or unless a waiver is provided to the recipient by the head of the appropriate agency, in this case, the EPA. A waiver may be provided under Section 1605(b) if EPA determines that (1) applying these requirements would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or (3) inclusion of iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent.
