Download as PDF jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 101 / Thursday, May 27, 2021 / Notices required and recommended elements that should be included in the State or Tribe’s permit application, so that sufficient information is available to make a thorough analysis of anticipated impacts. These minimum information requirements generally reflect the information that must be submitted when applying for a section 404 permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. (CWA section 404(h); CWA section 404(j); 40 CFR 230.10, 233.20, 233.21, 233.34, and 233.50; 33 CFR 325)). Annual report and program information. EPA has an oversight role for assumed section 404 permitting programs to ensure that State or tribal programs are in compliance with applicable requirements and that State or tribal permit decisions adequately consider, avoid, minimize, and compensate for anticipated impacts. States and tribes must evaluate their programs annually and submit the results in a report to EPA. EPA’s assumption regulations at 40 CFR 233.52 establish minimum requirements for the annual report. The information included in the State or Tribe’s assumption request and the information included in a permit application is made available for public review and comment. The information included in the annual report to EPA is made available to the public. EPA does not make any assurances of confidentiality for this information. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: States requesting assumption of the CWA section 404 permit program; States with approved assumed programs; and permit applicants for assumed State programs. No Tribes are expected to assume at this time. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 CFR 233). Estimated number of respondents: Two States to request program assumption; 9,022 permit applicants; and four States with assumed programs. Frequency of response: States will respond one time to request assumption; if the program is approved, they will respond annually for the annual report; permit applicants will respond one time when requesting a permit. Total estimated burden: 218,836 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: Costs to States for assumed section 404 permit programs will vary widely by State and permit; however, the total estimated costs for four programs is $5,641,625.21 and costs to permittees in State-assumed programs is $1,266,824.13. There are $0 VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:29 May 26, 2021 Jkt 253001 capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 99,174 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. There are several reasons for this increase: (1) A small increase in the estimated hours to assume a program based on information provided by Michigan and New Jersey; (2) recent changes to policy addressing endangered species and historic preservation requiring; (3) including burden to State-assumed programs of permit review and to permittees; and (4) a small increase in the estimated hours for permit review by Michigan and New Jersey and for completing the annual report by Michigan. The estimated number of permits per state has been reduced based on data provided by New Jersey and Michigan. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing were promulgated on April 6, 1973 (38 FR 8826), and amended on both October 17, 2000 (65 FR 62151) and February 27, 2014 (79 FR 11275).

This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart D. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Beryllium rocket motor fuel firing test sites. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart D). Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total). Frequency of response: Annually. Total estimated burden: 9 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,110 (per year), which includes $0 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup and/or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

No comments were received from the public during the 60-day public comment period. Overview of Information Collection Collection Title: State and Local Government Information Report (EEO– 4). OMB Number: 3046–0008. Frequency of Report: Biennial, odd years. Type of Respondent: State and local governments with 100 or more employees within the 50 U.S. states and District of Columbia. Description of Affected Public: State and local governments with 100 or more employees within the 50 U.S. states and District of Columbia. Reporting Hours: 95,542 per biennial collection. Burden Hour Cost: $4,719,509.02 per biennial collection. Federal Cost: $386,609.20 per biennial collection. Number of Respondents: 5,687. Number of Responses: 13,649. Number of Forms: 1. Form Number: EEOC Form 164. Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(c), requires State and local governments to make and keep records relevant to a determination of whether unlawful employment practices have been or are being committed and produce reports required by the EEOC. Accordingly, the EEOC issued regulations, 29 CFR 1602.30 and 1602.32–.37, which set forth the reporting requirements and related record retention policies for State and local governments. 29 CFR 1602.30 requires every covered State and local government to make or keep all records necessary for completion of an EEO–4 submission and retain those records for three years. 29 CFR 1602.32 requires filers to retain a copy of each filed EEO–4 report for three years. These requirements are related to recordkeeping, which is part of standard administrative practices, and as a result, the EEOC believes that any impact on burden would be negligible and nearly impossible to quantify. State and local governments with 100 or more employees have been required to submit EEO–4 reports since 1974 (biennially since 1993). The EEOC uses EEO–4 data for research and to investigate charges of discrimination. The individual reports are confidential. Burden Statement: The methodology for calculating annual burden reflects the different staff that are responsible for preparing and filing the EEO–4. These estimates are based on the estimated submission time of 7 hours per reporting unit, as published in the 2018 EEO–4 Information Collection Review as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act.1 The EEOC accounts for time to be spent biennially on EEO–4 reporting by senior and administrative staff, as well as time spent by computer support specialists, executive administrative staff, and payroll and human resource professionals; the revised estimate also includes attorneys who may consult briefly during the reporting process. The estimated number of respondents included in the biennial EEO–4 data collection is 5,687 State and local governments, as this is the average number of reporting units between 2005 and 2019. These 5,687 respondents will submit an estimated 13,649 reports during each biennial reporting cycle. The estimated hour burden per report will be 7 hours, and the estimated total biennial respondent burden hours will be 95,542. Burden hour cost was calculated using median hourly wage rates for administrative staff and legal counsel, and average hourly wage rates for State and local government staff. The burden hour cost per report will be $214.77, and the estimated total burden hour cost per 1 For more information, please see: https:// www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_ nbr=201804-3046-001.
