Federal Water Pollution Control Act
Amendments of 1972 (Pub. L. 92–500).
Estimated number of respondents:
1,115 (1,068 facility respondents and 47
state respondents).
Frequency of response: Varies
(monthly, quarterly, or annually; every
5 years).
Total estimated burden: Total
estimated burden is 634,596 hours (per
year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $37,725,394 (per
year), includes $8,525,907annualized
capital and operation & maintenance
costs (all costs in 2011 dollars).
Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease of 388,925 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to changes
in program requirements. The currently
approved ICR is for electric generators
with a DIF of at least 50 mgd and that
were subject to the 2004 Phase II rule.
Many of these facilities have already
met most of the new data collection
requirements of the revised rule. Newly
affected facilities have significantly
fewer comprehensive requirements for
data collection than was required under
the Phase II rule, such as less frequent
biological data collection. Further,
while the overall universe of affected
facilities has increased, more facilities
in the affected universe already meet the
requirements of the revised rule.

Abstract: SDSI is a voluntary program
administered by the EPA to offer
resources and recognition to businesses
involved in the transition to safer
surfactants. Surfactants are a major
ingredient in cleaning products such as
detergents, cleaners, airplane deicers
and fire-fighting foams. Safer surfactants
are those that break down quickly to
non-polluting compounds.
Under SDSI, businesses that have
fully transitioned to safer surfactants, or
(for non-profits, academic institutions,
etc.) can document outstanding efforts
to encourage the use of safer surfactants,
are granted Champion status. At this
level, the participant is invited to the
SDSI awards ceremony, listed on the
EPA SDSI Web site as a champion, and
may use a special logo in their literature
to help explain their participation in the
program. Businesses that commit to a
full and timely transition to safer
surfactants, or (for non-profits, academic
institutions, etc.) can document
outstanding efforts to encourage the use
of safer surfactants, are granted Partner
status. This category provides
recognition of significant
accomplishments towards the use of
safer surfactants. Partners will be listed
on the EPA SDSI Web site and may be
granted recognition as a Champion in
the future if appropriate. This
information collection addresses
reporting activities that support the
administration of the SDSI program.
Responses to this collection of
information are voluntary. Respondents
may claim all or part of a response
confidential. EPA will disclose
information that is covered by a claim
of confidentiality only to the extent
permitted by, and in accordance with,
the procedures in TSCA section 14 and
40 CFR part 2.
Form Numbers: EPA Form 6300–2.

Mobile Cargo Handling Equipment at
Ports and Intermodal Rail Yards

dated May 16, 2013, CARB asked that
EPA authorize these amendments
pursuant to the Clean Air Act. CARB
seeks confirmation that certain of the
amendments are within the scope of a
prior authorization issued by EPA, and
that certain of the amendments require
and merit a full authorization. This
notice announces that EPA has
tentatively scheduled a public hearing
to consider California’s request for
authorization of the CHE amendments,
and that EPA is now accepting written
comment on the request.
DATES: EPA has tentatively scheduled a
public hearing concerning CARB’s
