Abstract: EPA adopted requirements for marine vessels operating in and around U.S. territorial waters to use reduced-sulfur diesel fuel. This requirement applies to steamships that are converted to run on diesel engines. A regulatory provision allows vessel owners to qualify for a waiver from the fuel-use requirements for a defined period for such converted vessels. One condition of the exemption from the fuel standard is that engines meet current emission standards. EPA uses the information to oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, including PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 54185 communicating with affected companies and answering questions from the public or other industry participants regarding the waiver in question. The EPA Tier 4 standards now apply for engines installed on U.S. vessels. These standards generally require installation of selective catalytic reduction technology, which substantially increases the complexity of replacing the steam powerplant with one or more engines. We therefore don’t expect anyone to use the steamship exemption. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Respondents are those who are using the waiver provisions of 40 CFR 1043.95(b). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain a benefit (40 CFR 1043.95). Estimated number of respondents: 0. Frequency of response: One time for a new notification. Total estimated burden: 0 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $0. Changes in estimates: The burden estimate is unchanged from the current estimate in the total estimated respondent burden currently approved by OMB. Since the IMO Tier III NOX standards now apply for engines installed on U.S. vessels, we don’t expect anyone to use the steamship exemption. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Aerosol coatings are included on the list, and the standards for such coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart E. The reports required under the standards enable the EPA to identify coating formulations manufactured, imported, or distributed in the United States, and to determine the productweighted reactivity. The ICR addresses the burden for activities conducted in 3-year increments after promulgation of the National VOC Emission Standards for Aerosol Coatings. Regulated entities read instructions to determine how they are affected by the rule. They are required to submit initial notifications when an aerosol coating is manufactured and notification of changes in the initial report, to report formulation data and exemptions claimed, and to maintain records. In addition, regulated entities are required to submit triennial reports that include formulation data and VOC usage. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: M manufacturers, distributors, and importers of aerosol coatings. These regulated entities fall within the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 32551, ‘‘Paint and Coating Manufacturing,’’ and NAICS Code 325998, ‘‘All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Production and Preparation Manufacturing.’’ Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 59, Subpart E). Estimated number of respondents: 67 (total). Frequency of response: Annual, triennial. Total estimated burden: 13,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $973,000 (per year), which includes zero dollars in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This situation is due to two considerations. The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 estimated growth rate for this industry is one new respondent per year, leading to a slow increase in burden. We have added 1 hour of burden for existing sources to re-familiarize themselves with the rule each year and adjusted the respondent burden to account for managerial hours as 5% of technical hours and clerical hours as 10% of technical hours for industry respondents, which reflects the EPA standard estimates of burden by labor category.
