by this Act fees to cover the costs of 

administering the Act.’’ The application 

fee for original issuance, reissuance, or 

duplication of a license for EFAC is 

$100 for each license issued. A license, 

and the corresponding licensing 

agreement, may cover multiple locations 

under one license, subject the approval 

of the FSA Deputy Administrator for 

Commodity Operations (DACO). 

Annual User Fees 

Annual user fees are assessed based 

on the cost for site visits to conduct 

warehouse examinations to determine 

continued compliance with the terms of 

the licensing agreement and the USWA. 

Annual user fees will be assessed 

independently of application fees and 

inspection fees. The annual user fee will 

be $1500 for 1 to 3 locations, plus $300 

for each additional location operated 

under the same licensing agreement. 

Inspection Fees 

Inspection fees are assessed to recover 

the costs of administering the USWA. 

The inspection fees are assessed for site 

visits to determine initial suitability for 

storage of EFAC. Fees will be assessed 

for each original examination or 

inspection and for amendment 

examinations to modify an existing 

license. The inspection fee will be 

$1000 for 1 to 3 locations, plus $300 for 

each additional location operated under 

the same licensing agreement. Fees for 

additional or special examination 

services, including requested 

examinations or examinations due to 

adverse conditions, will be assessed at 

an hourly rate as determined by FSA. 

USWA fees for EFAC are provided in

CHEMICAL SAFETY AND HAZARD 

INVESTIGATION BOARD 

Meetings; Sunshine Act 

The U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board (CSB) announces 

that it will hold a public meeting on 

April 19, 2012, in Buffalo, New York, to 

present the findings from its 

investigation of a flammable vapor 

explosion on November 9, 2010, at the 

E.I DuPont de Nemours and Co. Inc. 

chemical plant in Buffalo, New York. 

The incident involved a contract welder 

and foreman who were repairing an 

agitator support atop an atmospheric 

storage tank containing flammable vinyl 

fluoride (VF). The VF vapor from 

interconnected, in-service process tanks 

flowed undetected into the tank and 

ignited when the welder was repairing 

the agitator support assembly. The 

welder died instantly and the foreman 

was burned. 

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. at 

the Embassy Suites Buffalo Downtown, 

Room: Encore I, II, and III, 200 Delaware 

Ave., Buffalo, NY 14202 (716–842– 

1000). The meeting is free and open to 

the public. Pre-registration is not 

required, but to assure adequate seating, 

attendees are encouraged to pre-register 

by emailing their names and affiliations 

to publicmeeting@csb.gov by April 14, 

2012. 

At the meeting CSB staff will present 

to the Board the results of their 

investigation into this incident. Key 

issues involved in the investigation 

concern flammable gas monitoring, tank 

isolation and hot work permits and signoffs. Following the presentation of the 

CSB’s findings and safety 

recommendations, the Board will hear 

comments from the public. 

At the conclusion of the public 

comment period, the Board will 

consider whether to approve the final 

case study and recommendations. All 

staff presentations are preliminary and 

are intended solely to allow the Board 

to consider in a public forum the issues 

and factors involved in this case. No 

factual analyses, conclusions or findings 

presented by staff should be considered 

final. Only after the Board has 

considered the final staff presentation, 

listened to the public comments and 

approved the staff case study will there 

be an approved final record of this 

incident. 

The Board will also consider whether 

to approve the CSB’s draft 2012–2016 

Strategic Plan, which includes strategic 

goals, objectives, and associated 

measures for managing and evaluating 

agency operations. The draft plan is 

available for public comment until April 

12, 2012 at www.csb.gov. All comments 

can be submitted via email to 

strategicplan@csb.gov. 

Please notify CSB if a translator or 

interpreter is needed, at least 5 business 

days prior to the public meeting. For 

more information, please contact the 

U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board at (202) 261–7600,

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 4, 2012 / Notices 20355 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to continue 

the current OMB clearance for the 

Quarterly Survey of Plant Capacity 

Utilization (QPC). The QPC is 

conducted quarterly, collecting from 

manufacturing plants and publishers, 

the value of actual production, the value 

of production that could have been 

achieved if operating at ‘‘full 

production’’ levels, and the value of 

production that could have been 

achieved if operating at ‘‘national 

emergency’’ levels. The survey also 

collects data on work patterns by shift. 

These data include hours in operation, 

production workers, and plant hours 

worked. 

The primary users of these data will 

be the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and 

the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). 

The FRB will use these data in several 

ways. First, the capital workweek data 

will be used as an indicator of capital 

use in the estimation of monthly output 

(industrial production). Second, the 

workweek data will be used to improve 

the projections of labor productivity that 

are used to align industrial production 

(IP) with comprehensive benchmark 

information in the Economic Census, 

Manufacturing and Annual Survey of 

Manufactures. Third, the utilization rate 

data will assist in the assessment of 

recent changes in IP, as most of the 

high-frequency movement in utilization 

rates reflect production changes rather 

than capacity changes. The DLA will 

use these data to assess readiness to 

meet demand for goods under selected 

national emergency scenarios. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau will use the mail 

out/mail back survey forms to collect 

the data. We also offer an electronic 

version of the form for reporting via the 

Internet. Companies will be asked to 

respond within 20 days of the initial 

mailing. This due date will be imprinted 

at the top of the form. Letters 

encouraging participation will be 

mailed to companies that have not 

responded by the designated time. 

Subsequent to the letter, we will 

conduct a telephone follow-up.

The mission of the Economic 

Development Administration (EDA) is 

to lead the Federal economic agenda by

investment award and provide such 

information and documentation as EDA 

deems necessary to determine the merit 

of altering the terms of an award (see 13 

CFR 302.7(a) of EDA’s regulations). EDA 

may require a recipient to submit a 

project service map and information 

from which to determine whether 

services are provided to all segments of 

the region being assisted (see CFR 

302.16(c) of EDA’s regulations).
