The Program effectively promotes the adoption of emission reduction practices and technologies by engaging GreenChill partners to set an annual refrigerant emission reduction goal and develop a Refrigerant Management Plan reflecting the company’s implementation objectives. Implementation of the partners’ Refrigeration Management Plan to reduce refrigerant emissions enhances the protection of the environment and may save Partners money and improve operational efficiency. The GreenChill Program offers the opportunity for any individual store to be GreenChill certified at the silver-, gold- or platinum-level when it demonstrates that the amount of refrigerant used is below a specified limit, based on the store’s MBTU/hour cooling load, and that the refrigerant emitted from the store in the prior 12 months is below a specified percentage depending on each GreenChill store certification level. Information submitted for the certification of individual stores is compared to these set criteria for each certification level. The certification of a store provides the opportunity for broad recognition within the supermarket industry and with the store’s customers. All information submitted to EPA is treated in accordance with the EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 2, that include provisions on protecting confidential business information (CBI). Form Numbers: 5900–213, 5900–214. Respondents/affected entities: Supermarkets, NAICS code: 445110. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 232 (per year). Frequency of response: Annual, and when desired. Total estimated burden: 2,608 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $110,940 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: Due to the inclusion of voluntary submissions by individual supermarkets to become GreenChill certified, and recognizing these submissions are increasing annually, the total number of hours increases by 920 per year compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. In addition, the number of companies submitting information voluntarily under the Corporate Emission Reduction Program (the Partnership) is reduced due to industry VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 May 29, 2019 Jkt 247001 consolidation, acquisitions, and bankruptcy, as well as a reduction in the number of companies joining the partnership each year. The costs associated with labor categories reflect generally higher salaries across Respondents and the Agency. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: This ICR renewal is for the collection developed to support the final rule, Accidental Release Prevention Requirements; Risk Management Programs Under the Clean Air Act Section 112(r)(7); Distribution of Off-Site Consequence Analysis Information, published on August 4, 2000 (65 FR 48108), defines the Federal Government’s responsibilities with respect to the dissemination of offsite consequence analyses (OCA) information to the public. OCA information is received by the EPA within risk management plans (RMPs) collected in service to the Agency’s mandate to promulgate reasonable regulations and appropriate guidance to provide for the prevention and detection of accidental releases and for responses to such releases under CAA section 112(r)(7). In accordance with the final rule, the government established 55 reading rooms at federal facilities geographically distributed across the United States and its territories. At these reading rooms, members of the public are able to read OCA information for stationary sources (up to 10 per month), for the Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) in whose jurisdiction they live or work, and for any other stationary sources with vulnerability zones E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 104 / Thursday, May 30, 2019 / Notices extending into their LEPC’s jurisdiction. Individuals anywhere may use the Vulnerable Zone Indicator System (VZIS) to find out whether a specified address is within the vulnerable zone of one or more stationary sources. The final rule also authorizes and encourages state and local government officials to have access to OCA information relevant to their jurisdiction, both for their own official use and to appropriately disseminate to the local public population. This ICR is intended to renew EPA’s approval to carry out the recordkeeping and reporting requirements crated by the final rule as it defines the practices that state and local officials need to follow in order to share the data they have and the specific procedures that different categories of individuals need to follow in order to request information, certify their identity, and receive OCA data. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: State and local agencies and the public. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR 1400). Estimated number of respondents: 315 (total). Frequency of response: As necessary. Total estimated burden: 367 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $16,252 (per year), includes $23 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: This ICR renewal includes a significant decrease in the estimated burden compared to the previous ICR renewal. The burden reduction is attributable to the reduced number of reading room visits by the public, the reduced number of letters of request for OCA from state and local governments and LEPCs, and a reduced number of public meetings assumed to be held by LEPCs resulting from the lower of letters of request submitted by LEPCs. To a large extent, the reductions are the result of the respondents increasingly obtaining the OCA data through electronic methods, for example, through rtk.net, RMP*Info and RMP Data Download.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. What action is the Agency taking? In the Federal Register of April 10, 2019 (84 FR 14365) (FRL–9991–20), EPA published information pertaining to submissions in January 2019 under TSCA Section 5, including notice of receipt of a Premanufacture notice (PMN), Significant New Use Notice (SNUN) or Microbial Commercial Activity Notice (MCAN), including an amended notice or test information; an exemption application (Biotech exemption); an application for a test marketing exemption (TME), both pending and/or concluded; a notice of commencement (NOC) of manufacture (including import) for new chemical substances; and a periodic status report on new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently concluded review. Subsequent to that publication, a stakeholder noticed that the information in Table II of Unit III. appeared to be identical to the information provided for December 2018 (see 84 FR 14368, April 10, 2019) (FRL–9990–59). EPA is hereby publishing the corrected information for January 2019 and providing an opportunity for public comments on this new information. II. What is this correction? In Unit I.A., the first sentence incorrectly identified the period covered by the notice as ‘‘from 01/01/2019 to 12/ 31/2019,’’ rather than just the month of January. Instead, it should have identified the period covered by the notice as ‘‘from 01/01/2019 to 01/31/ 2019.’’ In addition, the information in Table II of Unit III., which appears on page 14367, is corrected to read as follows: E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1
