EQNA–1016–241, ‘‘Teledyne Advanced
Pollution Instrumentation Model T200P
chemiluminescence Nitrogen Oxides
Analyzer,’’ operated on any full scale range
between 0–50 ppb and 0–1000 ppb, with a
PTFE filter element or a Kynar® DFU
installed in the filter assembly, with any
range mode (Single or Dual), at any operating
temperature in the range of 15°C to 35°C,
with the high efficiency photolytic converter,
with software Temperature and Pressure
compensation ON, in accordance with the
associated instrument manual; and with or
without any of the following options: Zero/
Span valves, internal Zero/Span permeation
oven (IZS), Nafion-type sample gas
conditioner, external communication and
data monitoring interfaces; and the
NumaViewTM software.
This application for an equivalent
method determination for this candidate
method was received by the Office of
Research and Development on
September 19, 2016. This analyzer is
commercially available from the
applicant, Teledyne Advanced Pollution
Instrumentation, Inc., 9480 Carroll Park
Drive, San Diego, CA 92121–2251.
A representative test analyzer has
been tested in accordance with the
applicable test procedures specified in
40 CFR part 53, as amended on October
26, 2015. After reviewing the results of
those tests and other information
submitted by the applicant, EPA has
determined, in accordance with Part 53,
that this method should be designated
as an equivalent method.
As a designated equivalent method,
this method is acceptable for use by
states and other air monitoring agencies
under the requirements of 40 CFR part
58, Ambient Air Quality Surveillance.
For such purposes, this method must be
used in strict accordance with the
operation or instruction manual
associated with the method and subject
to any specifications and limitations
(e.g., configuration or operational
settings) specified in the designated
method description (see the
identification of the method above).
Use of the method also should be in
general accordance with the guidance
and recommendations of applicable
sections of the ‘‘Quality Assurance
Handbook for Air Pollution
Measurement Systems, Volume I,’’ EPA/
600/R–94/038a and ‘‘Quality Assurance
Handbook for Air Pollution
Measurement Systems, Volume II,
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Program,’’ EPA–454/B–13–003, (both
available at https://www.epa.gov/ttn/
amtic/qalist.html). Provisions
concerning modification of such
methods by users are specified under
Section 2.8 (Modifications of Methods
by Users) of Appendix C to 40 CFR part
58.
Consistent or repeated noncompliance
with any of these conditions should be
reported to: Director, Exposure Methods
and Measurement Division (MD–E205–
01), National Exposure Research
Laboratory, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina 27711.
Designation of this equivalent method
is intended to assist the States in
establishing and operating their air
quality surveillance systems under 40
CFR part 58. Questions concerning the
commercial availability or technical
aspects of the method should be
directed to the applicant.
Dated: November 18, 2016.

Laboratory.

General Description of Collection: The
Federal Deposit Insurance (FDI) Act
requires state nonmember banks to
obtain FDIC consent to establish or
operate a branch in a foreign country, or
to acquire and hold, directly or
indirectly, stock or other evidence of
ownership in any foreign bank or other
entity. The FDI Act also authorizes the
FDIC to impose conditions for such
consent and to issue regulations related
thereto. This collection is a direct
consequence of those statutory
requirements.

FDIC is requesting renewal of this
approved collection to use occasional
qualitative surveys to gather information
from the public. In general, these
surveys do not involve more than 850
respondents, do not require more than

completely voluntary in nature. It is not
contemplated that more than 15 such

surveys will be conducted in any given
year. The purpose of the surveys is, in
general terms, to obtain anecdotal
information about regulatory burden,
problems or successes in the bank
supervisory process (including both
safety-and-soundness and consumerrelated exams), the perceived need for
regulatory or statutory change, and
similar concerns. The information in
PO 00000

these surveys is anecdotal in nature,
that is, samples are not necessarily
random, the results are not necessarily
representative of a larger class of
potential respondents, and the goal is
not to produce a statistically valid and
reliable database. Rather, the surveys are
expected to yield anecdotal information
about the particular experiences and
opinions of members of the public,

primarily staff at respondent banks or
bank customers. The information is
used to improve the way FDIC relates to
its clients, to develop agendas for
regulatory or statutory change, and in
some cases simply to learn how
particular policies or programs are
working, or are perceived in particular
cases.

General Description of Collection: The
Guidance on Sound Incentive
Compensation Practices helps ensure
that incentive compensation policies at
insured state nonmember banks and
state savings associations do not
encourage excessive risk-taking and are
consistent with the safety and
soundness of the organization. Under
the Guidance, banks are required to: (i)
Have policies and procedures that
identify and describe the role(s) of the
personnel and units authorized to be
involved in incentive compensation
arrangements, identify the source of
significant risk-related inputs, establish
appropriate controls governing these
inputs to help ensure their integrity, and
identify the individual(s) and unit(s)
whose approval is necessary for the
establishment or modification of
incentive compensation arrangements;
(ii) create and maintain sufficient
documentation to permit an audit of the
organization’s processes for incentive
compensation arrangements; (iii) have
any material exceptions or adjustments
to the incentive compensation
arrangements established for senior
executives approved and documented
by its board of directors; and (iv) have
its board of directors receive and
review, on an annual or more frequent
basis operation of the organization’s
incentive compensation system in
providing risk-taking incentives that are
consistent with the organization’s safety
and soundness.
