Abstract: EPA developed regulations 

under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 

1990 (CAA) regarding the use and 

disposal of class I and class II ozonedepleting substances used as 

refrigerants during the service, 

maintenance, repair, or disposal of 

refrigeration and air-conditioning 

equipment. Section 608(c) of the CAA 

states that it is unlawful for any person 

in the course of maintaining, servicing, 

repairing, or disposing of refrigeration 

or air-conditioning equipment to 

knowingly vent or otherwise knowingly 

release or dispose of a class I or class II 

substance used as a refrigerant in the 

equipment in a manner which permits 

the substance to enter the environment. 

In 1993, EPA promulgated regulations 

under section 608 of the CAA for the 

recycling of ozone-depleting refrigerants 

recovered during servicing and disposal 

of air-conditioning and refrigeration 

equipment (40 CFR part 82). The 

regulations require persons servicing 

refrigeration and air-conditioning 

equipment to observe service practices 

that reduce emissions of ozone 

depleting refrigerants. The regulations 

also establish certification programs for 

technicians, recycling and recovery 

equipment, and off-site refrigerant 

reclaimers. In addition, EPA requires 

that ozone depleting refrigerants 

contained ‘‘in bulk’’ in appliances be 

removed prior to disposal of the 

appliances, and that all refrigeration and 

air-conditioning equipment (except for 

small appliances and room air 

conditioners) be provided with a 

servicing aperture that facilitates 

recovery of the refrigerant. Moreover, 

the Agency requires that substantial 

refrigerant leaks in equipment be 

repaired when discovered. These 

regulations significantly reduce 

emissions of ozone depleting 

refrigerants and therefore aid efforts to 

minimize damage to the ozone layer. 

To facilitate compliance with section 

608, EPA requires reporting and record 

keeping for technicians; technician 

certification programs; equipment 

testing organizations; refrigerant 

wholesalers and purchasers; refrigerant 

reclaimers; refrigeration and airconditioning equipment owners; and 

other establishments that perform 

refrigerant removal, service, or disposal. 

These reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements help EPA evaluate the 

effectiveness of refrigerant regulations 

and reduce emissions of ozonedepleting substances. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

that recover, recycle, reclaim, sell or 

distribute in interstate commerce ozonedepleting refrigerants that contain 

chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or 

hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs); 

those that service, maintain, repair, or 

dispose of appliances containing CFC or 

HCFC refrigerants; and those that own 

or operate appliances containing more 

than 50 pounds of CFC or HCFC 

refrigerants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

883,680. 

Frequency of response: Primarily 

annually, with the exception of 

technician testing organizations that are 

required to report biannually. 

Total estimated burden: 320,537 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $14,202,991, 

which includes no capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

slight increase in the average annual 

burden hours currently identified in the 

current OMB Inventory of Approved 

ICR Burdens due to a change in the 

estimates.

Abstract: The USEPA Office of 

Research and Development is 

investigating public values for options 

of salmon recovery in the Willamette 

Watershed in western Oregon. These 

values will be estimated via a 

willingness to pay mail survey 

instrument. Two anadromous fish 

species in the Willamette watershed are 

federally listed as threatened species; 

Spring Chinook, and Winter steelhead. 

The survey focuses on two attributes of 

recovery for these fish: The recovery 

status; and the time to recovery. A 

choice experiment framework is used 

with statistically designed tradeoff 

questions, where recovery options are 

posed as increases in a yearly household 

tax. The choice experiment is designed 

to allow independent isolation of the 

value of recovery and of time to 

recovery. A few additional questions to 

further understand the motivations for 

respondent choices, their river-related 

recreation behavior, and their attitudes 

towards wild origin versus hatchery 

origin fish are also included. Limited 

sociodemographic questions are 

included to gauge how well the sample 

respondents represent the target 

population. The survey will be fielded 

to Oregon residents. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Individuals. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,000 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Total estimated burden: 500 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $8,620 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: This is a 

new collection.

(EPA’s) approval of the State of 

Indiana’s request to revise its National 

Primary Drinking Water Regulations 

Implementation EPA-authorized 

program to allow electronic reporting. 

DATES: EPA’s approval is effective

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On June 13, 2014, the Indiana 

Department of Environmental 

Management (IDEM) submitted an 

application titled ‘‘Indiana Electronic 

Sample Entry Verify (eSE) System’’ for 

revision of its EPA-authorized Part 142 

program under title 40 CFR. EPA 

reviewed IDEM’s request to revise its 

EPA-authorized program and, based on 

this review, EPA determined that the 

application met the standards for 

approval of authorized program revision 

set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this 

notice of EPA’s decision to approve 

Indiana’s request to revise its Part 142— 

National Primary Drinking Water 

Regulations Implementation program to 

allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR 

part 141 is being published in the 

Federal Register. IDEM was notified of 

EPA’s determination to approve its 

application with respect to the 

authorized program listed above.
