New Animal Drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species

Key Information

Abstract

The respondents to this information collection are pharmaceutical companies that sponsor new animal drugs for Minor Use and Minor Species (MUMS) designation or requesters wishing to add a new animal drug to the index listing of legally marketed unapproved new animal drugs for minor species animals. MUMS drug designation makes the sponsor eligible for incentives to support the approval or conditional approval of the designated use and is completely optional for drug sponsors. The MUMS designation regulations specify the criteria and procedures for requesting MUMS designation as well as the annual reporting requirements for MUMS designees. Indexing provides a basis for legally marketing an unapproved new animal drug intended for use in a minor species. The indexing regulations specify the criteria and procedures for requesting eligibility for indexing and for requesting addition to the index, as well as the annual reporting requirements for holders of an index listing.

Revisions to RCRA Definition of Solid Waste Final Rule (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

In 2018, the EPA published final revisions to the definition of solid waste that exclude certain hazardous secondary materials from regulation (83 FR 24664, May 30, 2018). The 2018 final rule was promulgated in response to orders issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 7, 2017, and amended on March 6, 2018, vacating certain provisions of the 2015 rule and reinstated corresponding provisions from the 2008 rule. The information requirements help ensure that (1) entities operating under the regulatory exclusions are held accountable to the applicable requirements; (2) state inspectors can verify compliance with the restrictions and conditions of the exclusions when needed; and (3) hazardous secondary materials exported for recycling are actually handled as commodities abroad. Recordkeeping requirements include: Under the generator-controlled exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23), the tolling contractor has to maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials received pursuant to its written contract with the tolling manufacturer, and the tolling manufacturer must maintain at its facility for no less than three years records of hazardous secondary materials shipped pursuant to its written contract with the tolling contractor. In addition, facilities performing the recycling of hazardous secondary materials under the generator-controlled exclusions at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(23) to maintain documentation of their legitimacy determination onsite. Under the transfer-based exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24), a generator sending secondary hazardous materials to a facility that does not have a permit, would be required to conduct a reasonable efforts environmental audit of the receiving facility; and a hazardous secondary materials recycler must meet the following conditions: having financial assurance in place, having trained personnel, and meeting emergency preparedness and response conditions. Under the export requirements of the transfer-based exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(25), exporters of hazardous secondary material must provide notice and obtain consent of the receiving country and file an annual report. Under the remanufacturing exclusion at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(27), both the hazardous secondary material generator and the remanufacturer must maintain records of shipments and confirmations of receipts for a period of three years from the dates of the shipments. Under the revised speculative accumulation requirement in 261.1(c)(8), all persons subject to the speculative accumulation requirements must label the storage unit by indicating the first date that the material began to be accumulated.

Trade Secret Claims for Community Right-to-Know and Emergency Planning (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request pertains to trade secrecy claims submitted under section 322 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). EPCRA contains provisions requiring facilities to report to state and local authorities, and EPA, the presence of extremely hazardous substances (section 302), inventory of hazardous chemicals (sections 311 and 312) and manufacture, process and use of toxic chemicals (section 313). Section 322 of EPCRA allows a facility to withhold the specific chemical identity from these EPCRA reports if the facility asserts a trade secret claim for that chemical identity. The provisions in section 322 establish the requirements and procedures that facilities must follow to request trade secret treatment of chemical identities, as well as the procedures for submitting public petitions to the Agency for review of the sufficiency of trade secret claims. Trade secret protection is provided for specific chemical identities contained in reports submitted under each of the following sections of EPCRA: (1) Section 303(d)(2) -- Facility notification of changes that have or are about to occur; (2) section 303(d)(3) -- Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) requests for facility information to develop or implement emergency plans; (3) section 311 -- Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) submitted by facilities, or lists of those chemicals submitted in place of the MSDSs; (4) section 312 -- Emergency and Hazardous Chemical Inventory forms (Tier I and Tier II); and (5) section 313 -- Toxic Chemical Release Inventory form.

State Program Adequacy Determination: Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and Non-Municipal, Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal Units that Receive Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Hazardous Waste

Key Information

Abstract

Section 4010(c) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requires that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revise the landfill criteria promulgated under paragraph (1) of Section 4004(a) and Section 1008(a)(3). Section 4005(c) of RCRA, as amended by the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA), requires states to develop and implement permit programs to ensure that non-municipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units that receive household hazardous waste or conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) hazardous waste and municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs) are in compliance with the revised criteria for the design and operation of non-municipal, non-hazardous waste disposal units under 40 CFR part 257, subpart B and MSWLFs under 40 CFR part 258. Section 4005(c) of RCRA further mandates the EPA Administrator to determine the adequacy of state permit programs to ensure owner/operator compliance with the revised federal criteria. A state program that is deemed adequate to ensure compliance may afford flexibility to owners/operators in the approaches they use to meet federal requirements, significantly reducing the burden associated with compliance. In response to the statutory requirement in §4005(c), EPA developed 40 CFR part 239, commonly referred to as the State Implementation Rule (SIR). The SIR describes the state request and EPA review procedures and defines the elements of an adequate state permit program.

RCRA Expanded Public Participation (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 1984, requires EPA to establish a national regulatory program to ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner protective of human health and the environment. Section 7004(b) of RCRA gives EPA broad authority to provide for, encourage, and assist public participation in the development, revision, implementation, and enforcement of any regulation, guideline, information, or program under RCRA. In addition, the statute specifies certain public notices (i.e., radio, newspaper, and a letter to relevant agencies) that EPA must provide before issuing any RCRA permit. The statute also establishes a process by which the public can dispute a permit and request a public hearing to discuss it. EPA carries out much of its RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR Parts 124 and 270.

NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart B, K, R, and W) (Renewal)

Key Information

Abstract

On December 15, 1989, pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 USC 1857), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated NESHAPs to control radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations were published in 54 FR 51653, and are codified at 40 CFR Part 61. Of the seven subparts (B, H, I, K, R, T and W) included in the 1989 rule, as currently amended four apply to privately-operated facilities. In addition to requiring operational practices that limit emissions, Subparts B, K, R, and W impose radionuclide dose and emission limits. The information collected is used by the EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides through compliance with these standards. Compliance is demonstrated through emissions testing and dose calculation when appropriate.

Continuation of Supplemental Security Income Payments for the Temporarily Institutionalized – Certification of Period and Need to Maintain Home

Key Information

Abstract

When SSI recipients: (1) enter a public institution; or (2) enter a private medical treatment facility with Medicaid paying more than 50 percent of expenses, SSA reduces recipients’ SSI payments to a nominal sum. However, if this institutionalization is temporary (defined as a maximum of three months), SSA may waive the reduction. Before SSA can waive the SSI payment reduction, the agency must receive the following documentation: (1) A physician’s certification stating the SSI recipient will only be institutionalized for a maximum of three months; and (2) statement from the recipient (or someone knowledgeable about the recipient’s circumstances, such as a representative payee, family member, or friend), confirming the recipient needs SSI payments to maintain the living arrangements to which the individual will return post institutionalization. To obtain this information, SSA employees contact the recipient (or a knowledgeable source) to collect the required physician’s certification and the statement of need. SSA does not require any specific format for these items, so long as we obtain the necessary attestations; however, SSA allows the use of Form SSA-186 as a convenient way to notify SSA, request continued benefits, and obtain physician certification on one document. The respondents are SSI recipients or individuals with knowledge of their circumstances such as representative payees, family members, or friends, as well as physicians or hospital staff members who treat the SSI recipient.

Letter to Employer Requesting Wage Information

Key Information

Abstract

SSA bases an individual’s eligibility for SSI payments, in part, on the amount of countable income the individual receives. We consider earned income from employment as a source of countable income. SSA applicants and recipients are required to provide evidence in support of their claims, but SSA will assist in collecting the required evidence when necessary. SSA uses Form SSA-L4201 for wage verification in initial and post-entitlement claims; the form collects current and past wage data directly from employers. We only use the SSA-L4201 when our efforts to obtain preferred evidence are unsuccessful. SSA uses the information collected to determine eligibility and proper payment amounts for SSI. Respondents are employers of SSI applicants and recipients.

Letter to Employer Requesting Information About Wages Earned by Beneficiary

Key Information

Abstract

Social Security disability recipients receive payments based on their inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) because of physical or mental condition. If the recipients work, the SSA must evaluate and determine if they continue to meet the disability requirements of the law. When an individual is unable to provide earnings information and SSA does not have access to proof of earnings, we use Form SSA-L725 to request monthly earnings information from the recipient’s employer. SSA employees send the paper form SSA-L725 to the employer to complete and use the earnings data we receive from the employers to determine whether the recipient is engaging in SGA, since work above SGA level can cause a cessation of disability payments. The respondents are businesses that employ Social Security disability recipients.

Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations For Type A Medicated Articles and Medicated Feeds

Key Information

Abstract

This ICR concerns the recordkeeping requirements of FDA’s current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) regulations for medicated feeds and for Type A medicated articles. Medicated feeds are administered to animals for the prevention, cure, mitigation, or treatment of disease, or growth promotion and feed efficiency. A manufacturer is required to establish, maintain, and retain records for a medicated feed, including records to document procedures required during the manufacturing process to assure that proper quality control is maintained. Such records would, for example, contain information concerning receipt and inventory of drug components, batch production, laboratory assay results (i.e. batch and stability testing), labels, and product distribution. A Type A medicated article is a feed product containing a concentrated drug diluted with a feed carrier substance. A Type A medicated article is intended solely for use in the manufacture of another Type A medicated article or a Type B or Type C medicated feed. Medicated feeds are administered to animals for the prevention, cure, mitigation, or treatment of disease or for growth promotion and feed efficiency. Under part 226, a manufacturer is required to establish, maintain, and retain records for Type A medicated articles, including records to document procedures required under the manufacturing process to assure that proper quality control is maintained. Such records would, for example, contain information concerning receipt and inventory of drug components, batch production, laboratory assay results (i.e. batch and stability testing), and product distribution. These records are subject to FDA review during an inspection. Medicated feeds that are not manufactured in accordance with these regulations are considered adulterated under section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

FERC-714, Annual Electric Balancing Authority Area and Planning Area Report

Key Information

Abstract

The Form 714 is authorized by the Federal Power Act and is a regulatory support requirement as provided by 18 CFR § 141.51. The data will be used to obtain a broad picture of interconnected balancing authority area operations including comprehensive information of balancing authority area generation, actual and scheduled inter-balancing authority area power transfers, and load; and to prepare status reports on the electric utility industry including review of inter-balancing authority area bulk power trade information. The Commission uses the collected data to analyze power system operations along with its regulatory functions. These analyses estimate the effect of changes in power system operations resulting from the installation of a new generating unit or plant, transmission facilities, energy transfers between systems, and/or new points of interconnections. Also, these analyses serve to correlate rates and charges, assess reliability and other operating attributes in regulatory proceedings, monitor market trends and behaviors, and determine the competitive impacts of proposed mergers, acquisitions, and dispositions.

FERC-725I, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Northeast Power Coordinating Council

Key Information

Abstract

The Regional Reliability standard, PRC-006-NPCC-1 — Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding (UFLS), provides regional requirements for Automatic UFLS for applicable entities in the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC). UFLS requirements were in place at a continent-wide level and within NPCC for many years prior to the implementation of federally mandated reliability standards in 2007. NPCC and its members believe that a region-wide, fully coordinated single set of UFLS requirements is necessary to create an effective and efficient UFLS program, and their experience has supported that belief. This collection of information involves planning coordinators (PCs) and generator owners (GOs). PCs must gather data, run studies, and analyze study results to design or update the UFLS programs. GOs must set each underfrequency trip relay below the appropriate generator underfrequency trip protection settings threshold curve in regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1 and provide the generator underfrequency trip setting and time delay to its planning coordinator within 45 days of the planning coordinator's request. The consequence of not collecting UFLS program information may impact the safety nets used to preserve the security and integrity of the Bulk-Electric System, otherwise it might lead to instability, uncontrolled separation or Cascading.
