1A 3-hour time burden for a process safety 

manager (which is a reasonable if not expected 

interviewee for a surveyed company) multiplied by 

the number of surveys; an average Process Safety 

Manager makes $100,154 as of September 15, 2022, 

which in terms of hourly compensation is $48.15. 

$48.15 hourly pay * 3 hours to complete * 15 

surveys = $2,166.75. See ‘‘Process Safety Manager 

Salaries,’’ Glassdoor, Updated September 15, 2022, 

https://www.glassdoor.com/Salaries/process-safetymanager-salary-SRCH_KO0,22.htm. 

2A 90-minute time burden for a chemist (which 

is a reasonable representative for these 

stakeholders) multiplied by the number of planned 

interviews; a chemist’s average salary is $89,130 as 

of May 2021, which is $42.85 per hour. $42.85 

hourly pay * 1.5 hours to complete * 9 interviews 

= $578.48. See ‘‘Occupational Employment and 

Wage Statistics, May 2021, 19–2031 Chemists,’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: CSB Reactive Hazard Study 

Survey of Industry Practices. 

Type of Request: Approval. 

Abstract: The enabling statute of the 

Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board (CSB) provides that 

the CSB is ‘‘authorized to conduct 

research and studies with respect to the 

potential for accidental releases, 

whether or not an accidental release has 

occurred, where there is evidence which 

indicates the presence of a potential 

hazard or hazards.’’ 42 U.S.C. 

7412(r)(6)(F). 

In August 2000, the CSB initiated a 

review of reactive hazards nationwide. 

The purpose of the investigation was to 

develop recommendations to reduce the 

number and severity of such incidents. 

The CSB published Hazard 

Investigation: Improving Reactive 

Hazard Management on September 17, 

2002. The CSB issued a total of 24 

recommendations to 15 organizations. 

Only two recommendations remain. 

This information collection request 

will assist the CSB in updating its 2002 

study, ‘‘Hazard Investigation: Improving 

Reactive Hazard Management.’’ On 

behalf of the CSB, the Federal Research 

Division (FRD) within the Library of 

Congress is conducting the study to 

reflect the current research, data, and 

company safety policies concerning 

reactive chemical incidents. 

For this study, FRD on behalf of CSB 

will collect survey data from 15 

randomly selected small, medium, and 

large companies that use reactive 

chemicals. FRD will also conduct 

interviews with nine stakeholders, who 

may include industry representatives, 

regulatory agencies, professional safety 

organizations, trade associations, trade 

unions, and/or public advocacy groups. 

Type of Respondents: All the 

respondents will be private sector 

businesses that use reactive chemicals 

that voluntarily submit to interviews or 

the survey. 

Estimate Annual Number of 

Respondents: 24. 

Frequency of Use: Once. This survey 

is part of a study. 

Small Businesses or Organizations 

Affected: No. Although the CSB is 

contacting small businesses, this survey 

is voluntary. Additionally, the CSB 

anticipates a total of 15 companies will 

respond. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 24. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Response: 3 hours. The survey should 

take a representative from each of the 

companies randomly selected two to 

four hours to complete. The estimated 

financial burden for one process safety 

manager to take this survey is $144.45. 

For 15 surveys, the total cost of process 

safety managers’ time is estimated to be 

$2,166.75.1 The interviews will take no 

longer than 90 minutes each. The 

estimated financial burden for one 

chemist to engage in an interview is 

$64.28. For nine interviews, the total 

cost of chemists’ time is estimated to be 

$578.48.2 The combined total cost of 

this data collection on the American 

public is estimated to be $2,745.23. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 45 hours. 

Need for and Use of Information: This 

research is vital because safely 

conducting chemical reactions is 

essential for the chemical 

manufacturing industry. Chemical 

reactive hazards can rapidly release 

large quantities of heat, energy, and 

gaseous byproducts. Uncontrolled 

reactions have led to serious explosions, 

fires, and toxic emissions. The impacts 

may be severe in terms of death and 

injury to people, damage to physical 

property, and effects on the 

environment and surrounding 

communities. Since the publication of 

the 2002 report, incidents caused by 

uncontrolled chemical reactions have 

persisted. This fact suggests the need to 

continue to evaluate existing standards 

and improve the management of 

reactive hazards in response to changes 

within the chemical manufacturing 

industry over the past two decades. 

Researchers will use quantitative and 

qualitative mixed methods to analyze 

the collected industry information. The 

analysis will identify trends and present 

insights which will enhance the CSB’s 

capacity to respond to future reactive 

chemical incidents and to inform 

industry stakeholders of the best 

practices in process safety protocols. 

Comment is Invited: Comment is 

invited on: (1) Whether this collection 

of information is necessary for the stated 

purposes and the proper performance of 

the functions of the Agency, including

In the Matter of: Peter Sotis, Inmate 

Number: 13640–018, FCI Coleman, P.O. 

Box 1031, Coleman, FL 33521; Order 

Denying Export Privileges 

On January 12, 2022, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Southern District 

of Florida, Peter Sotis (‘‘Sotis’’) was 

convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 371, the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.) 

(‘‘IEEPA’’) and 18 U.S.C. 554. 

Specifically, Sotis was convicted of 

conspiring to export, exported and 

attempted to export and smuggling four 

(4) rEvo III rebreathers from the United 

States to Libya without the required 

license or written approval. As a result 

of his conviction, the Court sentenced 

him to 57 months in prison, three years 

of supervised release and a $300 special 

assessment. 

Pursuant to section 1760(e) of the 

Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1

the export privileges of any person who 

has been convicted of certain offenses, 

including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. 

371, IEEPA and 18 U.S.C. 554, may be 

denied for a period of up to ten (10) 

years from the date of his/her 

conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e). In 

addition, any Bureau of Industry and 

Security (‘‘BIS’’) licenses or other 

authorizations issued under ECRA, in 

which the person had an interest at the 

time of the conviction, may be revoked. 

Id. 

BIS received notice of Sotis 

conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 371,
