Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Halogenated Solvent
Cleaners/Halogenated Hazardous Air
Pollutants were proposed on November
29, 1993, and promulgated on December
2, 1994. The NESHAP was amended on
the following dates: June 5, 1995;
December 11, 1998; July 13, 1999;
August 19, 1999; and May 3, 2007.
These regulations apply to each
individual batch vapor, in-line vapor,
in-line cold, and batch cold solvent
cleaning machine that uses any solvent
containing methylene chloride,
perchloroethylene, 1,1,1trichloroethane, trichloroethylene,
carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, or any
combination of these halogenated HAP
solvents, in a total concentration greater
than 5 percent by weight, as a cleaning
and/or drying agent. New facilities
include those that commenced
construction or reconstruction on or
after December 2, 1994. This
information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart T.
In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notification reports,
performance tests, and periodic reports
by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Halogenated Solvent Cleaners.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63).
Estimated number of respondents:
931 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannual.
Total estimated burden: 31,300 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $4,230,000 (per
year), which includes $660,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
decrease in burden from the most
recently-approved ICR is due to an
adjustment. The adjustment decrease in
burden is due to more accurate
estimates of existing and anticipated
new sources. The estimates in this ICR
reflect a decrease in the universe of
respondents that is the result of changes
within the industry to use alternative
solvents and solvent machines that do
not contain the HAP subject to the
NESHAP. These estimates also more
accurately reflect the number of
respondents identified in EPA’s ECHO
database. The decrease in the number of
respondents also results in a decrease in
the operation and maintenance costs.
There are no changes to the capital and
startup costs.

Total Annual Burden: 5,316 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: No

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: The collection is
being revised because, the Commission
consolidated the information collection
requirements currently contained in
collection 3060–1021 (§ 25.139) into
3060–1022; therefore, OMB Control
Number 3060–1021 will be
discontinued once the consolidation is
approved by OMB. The Commission is
also revising estimates based on
updated licensing activity with no
programmatic changes. This collection
includes a Part 25 rule and various rules
in Part 101 that govern record retention,
reporting, and third-party disclosure
requirements related to satellite and
terrestrial sharing of the 12.2–12.7 GHz
band. The satellite operators are NonGeostationary Orbit Fixed Satellite
Service (NGSO FSS) and Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) Service. The
terrestrial operators are Multichannel
Video Distribution and Data Service
(MVDDS). The following information
collected will assist the Commission in
analyzing trends and competition in the
marketplace. Section 25.139 requires
NGSO FSS licensees to maintain a
subscriber database in a format that can
be readily shared to enable MVDDS
licensees to determine whether a
proposed MVDDS transmitting antenna
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
37283
meets the minimum spacing
requirement relative to qualifying,
existing NGSO FSS subscriber receivers
(set forth in § 101.129, FCC Rules).
Section 101.1403 requires certain
MVDDS licensees that meet the
statutory definition of Multichannel
Video Programming Distributor (MVPD)
to comply with the broadcast carriage
requirements located 47 U.S.C.
325(b)(1). Any MVDDS licensee that is
an MVPD must obtain the prior express
authority of a broadcast station before
retransmitting that station’s signal,
subject to the exceptions contained in
§ 325(b)(2) of the Communications Act
of 1934. Section 101.103(f) requires
MVDDS licensees to provide notice of
intent to construct a proposed antenna
to NGSO FSS licensees operating in the
12.2–12.7 GHz frequency band and to
establish and maintain an internet
website of all existing transmitting sites
and transmitting antenna that are
scheduled for operation within one year
including the ‘‘in service’’ dates. Section
101.1413, as a construction requirement,
requires MVDDS licensees to file a
showing of substantial service at five
and ten years into the initial license
term. Substantial service is defined as a
‘‘service that is sound, favorable, and
substantially above a level of mediocre
service which might minimally warrant
renewal.’’ The Commission set forth a
safe harbor to serve as a guide to
licensees in satisfying the substantial
service requirement, as well as
additional factors that it would take into
consideration in determining whether a
licensee satisfies the substantial service
standard. Section 101.1440 requires
MVDDS licensees to collect information
and disclose information to third
parties. Therefore, the reporting and
disclosure requirements are as follows:
Section 101.1440 requires MVDDS
licensees to conduct a survey of the area
around its proposed transmitting
antenna site to determine the location of
all DBS customers of record that may
potentially be affected by the
introduction of its MVDDS service. At
least 90 days prior to the planned date
of MVDDS commencement of
operations, the MVDDS licensee must
then provide specific information to the
DBS licensee(s). Alternatively, MVDDS
licensees may obtain a signed, written
agreement from DBS customers of
record stating that they are aware of and
agree to their DBS system receiving
MVDDS signal levels in excess of the
appropriate Equivalent Power Flux
Density (EPFD) limits. The DBS licensee
must thereafter provide the MVDDS
licensee with a list of only those new
DBS customer locations that have been
E:\FR\FM\31JYN1.SGM

37284
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 147 / Wednesday, July 31, 2019 / Notices
installed in the 30-day period following
the MVDDS notification that the DBS
licensee believes may receive harmful
interference or where the prescribed
EPFD limits may be exceeded. If the
MVDDS licensee determines that its
signal level will exceed the EPFD limit
at any DBS customer site, it shall take
whatever steps are necessary, up to and
including finding a new transmitter site.
Section 101.1417 requires MVDDS
licensees to file an annual report. The
MVDDS licensees must file with the
Commission two copies of a ‘‘licensee
information report’’ by March 1st of
each year for the preceding calendar
year. This ‘‘licensee information report’’
must include name and address of
licensee; station(s) call letters and
primary geographic service area(s); and
statistical data for the licensee’s station.

Budget (OMB) pre-approved the
information collection requirements
contained in the proposed rules. On
August 25, 2011, the Commission
released a Report and Order, FCC 11–
126, in the CVAA Video Description
proceeding, MB Docket No. 11–43. The
Reported and Order adopted the
proposed information collection
requirements without change. The final
rules were codified at 47 CFR 79.3. On
September 8, 2011, OMB issued its final
approval for the information collection
requirements. As discussed below, the
information collection requirements
include (1) video programming provider
petitions for exemption based on
‘‘economic burden’’ and (2) non-form
consumer complaints alleging violations
of the video description rules. On June
25, 2012, the Commission received
OMB approval for the removal of a
portion of the burden hours and costs
that were approved under 3060–1148
and placed into collection 3060–0874
(relating to the FCC Form 2000). This
modification was due to the filing of
complaints alleging violations of the
video description rules now being filed
via FCC Form 2000C.
Video description is the insertion of
audio narrated descriptions of a
television program’s key visual elements
into natural pauses in the program’s
dialogue, makes video programming
more accessible to individuals who are
blind or visually impaired. In 2000, the
Commission adopted rules requiring
certain broadcasters and MVPDs to carry
programming with video description.
The United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit vacated
the rules due to insufficient authority
soon after their initial adoption. As
directed by the CVAA, the
Commission’s Report and Order
reinstated the video description rules,
with certain modifications, effective
October 8, 2011. The reinstated rules
require large-market broadcast affiliates
of the top four national networks and
multichannel video programming
distributor (‘‘MVPD’’) systems with
more than 50,000 subscribers to provide
video description.

area around its proposed transmitting antenna site to determine the
location of all DBS customers of record that may potentially be
affected by the introduction of its MVDDS service. At least 90 days
prior to the planned date of MVDDS commencement of operations, the
MVDDS licensee must then provide specific information to the DBS
licensee(s). Alternatively, MVDDS licensees may obtain a signed,
written agreement from DBS customers of record stating that they are
aware of and agree to their DBS system receiving MVDDS signal levels in
excess of the appropriate Equivalent Power Flux Density (EPFD) limits.
The DBS licensee must thereafter provide the MVDDS licensee with a list
of only those new DBS customer locations that have been
[[Page 37284]]
installed in the 30-day period following the MVDDS notification that
the DBS licensee believes may receive harmful interference or where the
prescribed EPFD limits may be exceeded. If the MVDDS licensee
determines that its signal level will exceed the EPFD limit at any DBS
customer site, it shall take whatever steps are necessary, up to and
including finding a new transmitter site. Section 101.1417 requires
MVDDS licensees to file an annual report. The MVDDS licensees must file
with the Commission two copies of a ``licensee information report'' by
March 1st of each year for the preceding calendar year. This ``licensee
information report'' must include name and address of licensee;
station(s) call letters and primary geographic service area(s); and
statistical data for the licensee's station.
