Revision to the Washington State Implementation Plan; Update to the Solid Fuel Burning Devices Regulations
Document Number: 2014-04783
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2014-03-04
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) received on January 30, 2014. The SIP submission contains revisions to Washington's solid fuel burning device rules to control fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from residential wood combustion. The updated regulations reflect Washington State statutory changes made in 2012, setting revised PM2.5 trigger levels for impaired air quality burn bans and setting criteria for prohibiting solid fuel burning devices that are not certified. The submission also contains updates to the regulations to improve the clarity of the language. We are proposing to approve these changes because they meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act and strengthen the Washington SIP.

Document Number: 2014-04728
Type: Notice
Date: 2014-03-04
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health
In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH), will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. Written comments and/or suggestions from the public and affected agencies are invited on one or more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. To Submit Comments and for Further Information: To obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or request more information on the proposed project, contact: Jacquelyn Burns, Office for Policy in Clinical Research Operations, DAIDS, NIAID, 6700B Rockledge Drive, Room 4118, Bethesda, MD 20852, or call non-toll- free number 301-402-0143, or Email your request, including your address to: Jburns@niaid.nih.gov. Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in writing. Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of this publication. Proposed Collection: Assessment of DAIDS Training Resources, 0925- New, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a new data collection in order to assess the efficacy of training resources and their impact on NIAID-supported and/or sponsored research operations. The generic OMB clearance will allow collecting information about the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors from target audiences (e.g., research staff) to help improve and inform these training resources. Information collected will be used to determine the future direction for training resources, including which resources should be continued, enhanced, added, or discontinued in order to utilize resources efficiently. Findings will provide data to inform and guide the optimal development, dissemination, and revisions to improve NIAID trainings and resources. Various types of data will be collected, including post- assessment tests, questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. Post- assessment tests will be administered at the time of the trainings to assess trainees' immediate knowledge gained, as well as reactions and satisfaction to the content. Select trainees will be queried at later time points (e.g., three-months, six-months) after they have participated in a training to understand if they have been able to apply their knowledge at the workplace, and identify facilitators or hindrances to implementing this new knowledge. The assessment team will conduct repeated data collections for these select trainees to determine any changes throughout time. In order to obtain information beyond self-reported data, select managers and supervisors will also be queried to assess if they have observed any changes in their staff after attending trainings, and if the work environment is conducive for trainees to implement knowledge from trainings. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 847.

That comment is outside the scope of the proposed renewal request, which sought comments on the burden hours associated with recordkeeping requirements in the safety standards. Therefore, by publication of this notice, the Commission announces that CPSC has submitted to the OMB a request for extension of approval of that collection of information, without change.

Amendment of Notice of Allocation Availability (NOAA) Inviting Applications for the Combined Calendar Year (CY) 2013 and 2014 Allocation Round of the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) Program
Document Number: 2014-04723
Type: Notice
Date: 2014-03-04
Agency: Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, Department of Treasury, Department of the Treasury
This notice amends the NOAA that was published on July 29, 2013 (78 FR 45604) for the combined calendar year 2013 and 2014 allocation round of the NMTC Program, as authorized by Title I, subtitle C, section 121 of the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-554) and as amended thereafter. Through the NMTC Program, the CDFI Fund provides authority to CDEs to offer an incentive to investors in the form of tax credits over seven years, which is expected to stimulate the provision of private investment capital that, in turn, will facilitate economic and community development in Low- Income Communities. The July 29, 2013 NOAA announced the availability of up to $8.5 billion of NMTC investment authority, $3.5 billion of which was authorized by American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and an additional $5.0 billion, which was subject to Congressional authorization. Because the CDFI Fund has not received Congressional allocation authority for calendar year 2014 as of the date of this notice, it is amending the July 29, 2013 NOAA to reflect the authorized authority for calendar year 2013 only. Thus, this notice revises the July 29, 2013 NOAA such that the funding opportunity announced therein no longer includes the combined calendar years 2013 and 2014, but is for calendar year 2013 only. Decrease in Allocation Authority: The July 29, 2013 NOAA announced that there would be a total of $8.5 billion of NMTC allocation authority available in the combined calendar year 2013 and 2014 Allocation Round. This notice revises the July 29, 2013 NOAA such that $3.5 billion of NMTC allocation authority is available for calendar year 2013 only. Decrease of Award Amount: The July 29, 2013 NOAA also announced that the CDFI Fund anticipates that it will provide allocation awards of not more than $125 million per Allocatee. Due to not having allocation authority for calendar year 2014 as of the date of this notice, this notice revises the July 29, 2013 NOAA such that the CDFI Fund now expects that it may provide allocation awards of not more than $100 million of allocation per Allocatee. All other information and requirements set forth in the July 29, 2013 NOAA shall remain effective, as published.
