Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 140 / Friday, July 20, 2018 / Notices 34577 

Conditioners (MVACs) retrofitted to use 

a SNAP substitute refrigerant include 

basic information on a label to be 

affixed to the air conditioner. The label 

includes the name of the substitute 

refrigerant, when and by whom the 

retrofit was performed, environmental 

and safety information about the 

substitute refrigerant, and other 

information. This information is needed 

so that subsequent technicians working 

on the MVAC system will be able to 

service the equipment properly, 

decreasing the likelihood of significant 

refrigerant cross-contamination and 

potential failure of air conditioning 

systems and recovery/recycling 

equipment. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: New 

and used car dealers, gas service 

stations, top and body repair shops, 

general automotive repair shops, 

automotive repair shops not elsewhere 

classified, including air conditioning 

and radiator specialty shops. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under 40 CFR 82.180. 

Estimated number of respondents: 13 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Once per 

retrofit of a motor vehicle air 

conditioner. 

Total estimated burden: 1 hour (per 

year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $15 (per year), 

includes $1 (per year) annualized 

capital or operation and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is a 

decrease of 8 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB (per year). This decrease is based 

on the decline of MVACs in service 

today using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), 

specifically CFC–12. After 1994, new 

cars in the U.S. were no longer 

manufactured with CFC–12 MVACs. 

The number of MVACs originally 

designed to use CFC–12 as well as the 

number of those retrofitted has been 

decreasing every year and EPA 

estimates a continued reduction in the 

number of CFC–12 MVAC retrofits will 

occur during the next three years. EPA 

estimates that in 2017 there were 18,000 

MVACs originally designed to use CFC– 

12 operating in the U.S., and estimates 

that in 2018, 2019 and 2020 the number 

of cars originally designed to use CFC– 

12 will decrease to 8,200, 3,500 and 

1,500, respectively. Of these, EPA 

estimates that approximately 0.1% will 

be retrofitted annually to use alternative 

refrigerants. Therefore, EPA estimates 

that in 2018, 2019 and 2020 the number 

of MVACs to be retrofitted are 8, 4 and 

1, respectively; resulting in a total of 13 

MVAC retrofits over the three years of 

this ICR.

General description of collection: 

Under the Bank Holding Company Act 

(BHCA), submission of this application 

is required for any company organized 

under the laws of a foreign country 

seeking to acquire a U.S. bank or bank 

holding company. Applicants must 

provide financial and managerial 

information, discuss the competitive 

effects of the proposed transaction, and 

discuss how the proposed transaction 

would effect the convenience and needs 

of the community to be served. The 

Federal Reserve also uses the 

information to fulfill, in part, its 

supervisory responsibilities with respect 

to foreign banking organizations in the 

United States. 

In addition to the application 

materials, an applicant also is required 

to publish a notice in a newspaper of 

general circulation in the community 

where the head office of the bank to be 

acquired is located. The notice must 

state the name and address of the 

applicant and its proposed subsidiary, 

and it must invite the public to submit 

written comments to the appropriate 

Federal Reserve Bank. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: This information 

collection is mandatory and authorized 

by sections 3(a), 3(c), and 5(b) of the 

BHCA (12 U.S.C.1842(a), (c) and 

1844(b)). The information provided in 

the application is not confidential 

unless the applicant specifically 

requests confidentiality and the Board 

approves the request. Applicants may 

rely on any Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA) exemption, but such requests for 

confidentiality must contain detailed 

justifications corresponding to the 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
34578 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 140 / Friday, July 20, 2018 / Notices 

claimed FOIA exemption. Requests for 

confidentiality will be evaluated on a 

case-by-case basis. 

Effective date: July 31, 2018. 

Current actions: On March 23, 2018, 

the Board published a notice in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 12762) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the extension, with revision, of the 

FR Y–3F. The Board proposes to revise 

the FR Y–3F form and instructions in 

order to improve the clarity of the 

required information; obtain additional 

information necessary to evaluate the 

statutory factors; reflect the impact of 

new laws, regulations, capital 

requirements and accounting rules; and 

increase transparency regarding the 

information that is required to consider 

a proposal. The revisions are intended 

to reduce the need for subsequent 

information requests, which delay the 

Board’s consideration of a filing and 

create additional burden for filers. The 

comment period for this notice expired 

on May 22, 2018. The Board did not 

receive any comments. Accordingly, the 

revisions will be implemented as 

proposed.
